COUNTY AGENT ATTENDS
COMMISSIONERS MEETING

G. l.. Chism, County Agricultural
Agent, was in town Thursday attend
ing the meeting of the County Com
missioners on business in connection
with his office. Mr.. Chism reports
having a meeting of the farmers at
Panaca last Monday evening for the
purpose of discussing the potato
problem. The necessity of growing
a uniform potato crop having be-
come necessity in order to insure
the advantage of the demands of the
market for a uniform potato. DIFF
ferent varieties were taken under
consideration, the main object being
to grow the variety that was good
market potato, and at the same time
that was best adapted to the soil
and climatic conditions. The several
varieties discussed were the Idaho
Rural, Melted Gem and the old
standby the Burbank. This is a
move in the right direction as the
market demands a uniform potato
one that is uniform in size as well
as quality and the community that
can establish the reputation for grow

presenting the case advanced the ar
gument that the work could be car
ried on at a better advantage at this
time as the settlers were not busy
and plenty Of help would be avail
able; also that considerable donation
work could be secured at this time.
The Board after taking the mat
ter under consideration. agreed to
an appropriation Of $250 with the
understanding that the donation
work be given. The board agreed to
meet with the settlers on the 18th OF
the present month to view the pro-

that County Surveyor Walker will

There were no further develop

the Christian Register of Boston,
without the knowledge of authorize
ton of the committee, carried a
news paragraph and an editorial,
both of which contained misstate-
ments. 1t said: william Jennings

Committee to speak, but the commit

The matter has never been before

Register also said: "His (Mr.

tility 10 teachers was the reason.
This also is untrue. These allega
tions at no time were made against
Mr.. Bryan. The Committee planned
the entire program in accordance
with the policy of the new organiza-
ton.
The popular protest for and
against tn restatement of Mr.. Bryan
on the convention program involves
the Convention Committee in serious
difficulties. The International Sunday
School Council is representative of
% of the Evangelical denominations
Of North America. It's constituency
represents widely differing view
points rgarding many theological and
scientific questions. It is the policy
of the Council neither to assume any
attitude on these questions nor to
allow itself to be drawn into con-
troversy regarding them It's pur-
pose is to brine together in a practi-
cal form of Christian service. all
those who are lOval TO Jesus Christ
and the essentials of the Christian
religion. 1t is setting forth to the
constructive task o. providing the
program of religious education to
meet the needs of the present crisis
in the moral and religious ffe of
America. The protest against the
action of the Program Committee
plainly grows out of a misapprehen>
sion. Because of this the committee
was faced with the peculiar situation.
The former action of che Program
Committee was not on theological
grounds.

other of the favorite floats was the
one in which was pictured the time
when from England came the ,shipload
of beautiful girls who were to become
the brides of the colonists.
Alexandria was splendidly repre-
scented both in the parade and in the
throngs which watched its passage. BY
popular acclaim Alexandria Day so
far as the parade was concerned, was
a grand success.
A large number of those attending
returned to this city today; others
will stay over for the remainder of
the week.
With one accord all have conceded
that Alexandria Day ended in glory
to all those who participated.
