HOW ABOUT THE CONTRACT

It is apparent that there exists a
dispute concerning the efficiency
and need for the work of a county
agent and those associated in the
efforts of the department of agri-
culture to improve farming condi-
tions; so far as Malheur county is
concerned.
Strictly speaking this Is a matter
for the farmers themselves to de-
eide. IL is not a question upon
which the ordinary business or pro-
fessional man is in a position to de-
termine Of his own knowledge; yet
he as a tax payer is of course in
terested; and his benefits from such
service come indirectly through the
increased prosperity and happiness
OF his farmer customers.
Certainly there should be some
manner OF determining whether or
not the farmers want this service.
The County court and all those con-
nected with the service believed
when the appropriation was made
for the service that the farmers
wanted Il.
There was nothing else for them
TO do but TO believe Il. They had
before them a large group OF farm
ers requesting that the cooperation
desired by the Federal Department
and the Extension agents Of o. A,
G.. bo granted. These farmers were
taxpayers, Just as are those who
would abolish the service, and APP
parently at that time, at least
those who asked the service repre-
sented the desires OF the people.
There was no protest against the
service. No one OF those who de-
clare now they do not want II ap-
poarod before the court then.
IL might be pertinent TO ask;
How IL the county court to know
what the people want when one
group appears and another does
not7" II the county court were en-
dowed with a sixth sense and could
read the minds OF the majority and
know what each one thinks. perhaps
then Il could always act Just as the
majority want; but when one group
takes so slight an interest In public
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1921-04-21

affairs that II makes no showing of
its desire at the proper time; 1t is
hard to see where II has Just
cause for complaint II its will is not
followed.
Upon the showing of those who
asked. this service the County Court
entered into contract with the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture and
the Extension Service of o. A. c.
for a definite service. Based on
that contract definite contracts have
been made by the proper authori-
ties for the services of two men, and
work has been undertaken. The
question is then what is to be done
about these contracts?. Is Malheur
County to break them; and II so, is
It to be supposed that the federal
department will permit that to be
done without recourse to the law?
II IL would do SO, then the entire
foundation for the service, not only
III mdlueuI NOuHll Uul III every
county in the Union would be des-
troyed. II the validity of the con-
tract is questioned who is to pay
the costs of the action7
Irrespective OF the benefits OF the
County Agent the question Of break
ing this contract is the first thing
that must be settled. And before
that is attempted those who be-
lieve in the benefits OF the service
Just as honestly as do those who
oppose 1t ought to ne heard. There
are two sides to the question.
The time to decide whether or not
the people want this service is when
the budget is prepared and the hear
lngs upon the same are held. Those
who are advising the petitioners
know this, and that gives rise to
the very logical belief that II is not
the County Agent alone that the
men behind the petition movement
want to get.

Is 1T SPENSER

10 is said by the authorities on the
subject that the spelling Spenser Is a
more correct photography than the
spelling Spencer. Anyway, the origin
OF the two forms OF the name is doub-
less the same. The name comes from
a French form applied to a parsonage
in the house OF the English king. In
the reign OF William the C0nqueror
lived a man call Robertus Dispensator,
or lie Dispcncer, because he was a
steward for the king. Others werS
similarly named. 10 is said that the
poet Edmund Spenser was member
OF the family established by this
Robert lie Dispenser. Herbert Spencer,
the celebrated philosopher OF mid
Victorian days. belonged TO a family
using the other form OF the name.
As 10 the family In the United
States. William, Thomas and Gerard
were three brothers who settled in
Cambridge, Massachusetts,, and from
there went with the Reverend Thomas
Hooker 10 Hartford, Connecticut.
Thomas later settled In Old Fields,
Maine. 10 is said that he was born in
England In 1896 and marNed in 1854
Patience Chadb6urne lie was an inn
keeper, husbandman and lumberman.
Gerard Is sometimes called jarrett In
the old records.
William, one Of the three brothers,
was the ancestor in the dlfth genera
iiOn OF Asa Spencer, who served
throughout the Revolutionary War
He had a son, James Bradley Spencer
who raised a company for the war of
1919 and another son Abner Peck
Spencer, who was military governor

1t may be recorded that the four

.
Bill Dale, closely Swallowed by one
lanky Samuel Heck with his inevitable,
ever-ready rife, went among the work
ers with a cheer that he did not feel.
For Caleb Moreland was In jail, and
Caleb Moreland was innocent. But
there was one sincere delight for
Dale: Hayes was driving the little
railroad ahead with all his might and
all the might Of his men. Hayes was
in high favor with those under him I;
they worked even harder when he was
absent than they worked when he was
standing over them.
The days ran on, and there was no
sign of hostile demonstration from
the Balls and Torreys. Judging from
appearances, they were wholly salts
fed with Caleb Moreland's being in
Jail.
Henderson Goff had disappeared.
Dale hoped that he was rid of the man
for all time, but he wasn't Golf was
not so confident as was Major Bradley
that he could establish his innocence
In the matter Of the dynamiting Of the
two buildings and the trestle. He
wished very much to steer clear of
arrest, for reasons Of his own, and he
was biding his time in a little town
in western North Carolina. When the
dynamiting affair had blown over, he
would go back and try again, perhaps
by an altogether new scheme, to get
himself into possession Of the More
land coal.
Then there came to the neighbor-
hood a man whom no Moreland, and
none Of the Littlefords, had ever set
eyes upon before. He was a very I'M
couth mountain man, with long black
hair and shaggy beard: his clothing
was outlandish and ragged. He had
not much to say; there was about
him, somehow, an air Of mystery.
Two days after his arrival, lin the
afternoon, the stranger met Dale mid
