These have consisted entirely sof the

OF MYSTERY s
is COMING SOON
Davis the Magician is Next Enter
tainment on Lyceum Course-
Saturday. Feb. l7th q

Local people VINO love the art of
magic will have every opportunity to
get an ''eye-fulp of bewildering H.
lusions when Davis, master magician,
appears here with his program of
magical feats.
Davis is the next entertainer on
the Ellison White Lyceum course and
is scheduled to appear in the high
school gym Saturday evening, Feb
ruary ~ Seat reservations can be
made and the tickets purchased at
vibber- Giffords beginning Monday.
!, Davis is one Of the best in the bus
mess, and his entertainment is elab-
orately staged. Davis does all the
old time feats Of magic, and adds
to the list q new line of sleight-of-
hand work which Isl most bewildering
to say the least. He has been called
s'The Man Who Mystifies," and his
list iof illusions includes his famous
trunk trick, which has so far been IN
capable of solution-at, least from
the audiences side of the footlights.
In this trick Davis is bound hand and
foot, tide up in a mail sack, locked
in trunk after which the trunk is
securely roped. The whole fob is
done by local folks. OF course Davis
jumps out almost as soon as the last
knot is tide on the ropes, but just how
he does it is rather difficult ques-
tion to answer. He slips in and out
of handouts with most amazing
cleverness, and he does hundred and
one other stunts which at times almost
make the cold chills run up and down
your spine.

ROOF BLAZE
Is STUBBORN
Fire Department Handicap
ped at Willsey Fire by
Frozen Hydrant

The most stubborn fire the depart
ment has been up against since the
purchase of the fire truck broke out
q few minutes before noon Friday
in the rooming and boarding house
of Mrs. Lucy Willsey on Washington
street.
The blaze was first discovered un-
der the caves near q chimney at the
rear Of the building. The depart
ment responded promptly to the alarm
but the fire hydrant was frozen and
refused to function for several min
utes or until the pressure forced out
the ice. AS result the flames had
spread thru the attic and had broken
out in several places on the roof be-
fore the hoses were brought into
action.
After an hours work the depart
ment had the fire under control but
not until the roof had been practic-
ally burned off and the interior Of
the entire building thoroly drenched
with water.
The less, which was fully covered
by insurance, was adjusted by Wal
ter Webster of Spokane, adjuster for
the two companies in which policies
had been written through the offices
Of Gascoigne & Fyfe. The following
morning repair work was started by
Staley & Bird. It will be about two
weeks before Mrs. Willsey can re-
open the house.

Says He Believes with Him
Out Extension Work
Can be Saved
PROSSER FARMERS
OFFER PROTESTS
Commissioners Pass Cues
tion on to County Farm
Organizations

". L. Georgeson informed the
Courier Reporer just before going
to press that he was rendering his
resignation as county agent, effec-
tive March 1.
Il am taking this step in the hope
that the work of the extension service
can be saved in Benton county" said
Mr.. Georgeson. This was one Of
the first counties in the state to en-
gage county agent and too much
has been accomplished to have the
service sacrificed now. j believe that
my resignation will quiet much Of
the controversy that has been raised
and will greatly facilitate the efforts
Of the commissioners to come to
satisfactory understanding with the
farm organizations and the u. 8. de-
partment.
The county agent question has oc-
cupied much of the county commits
sioners' time at their regular meet
ing this week. When the question of
continuing the office came up for
confederation delegation of west
end farmers headed by c. e. DeBow
and E. o. Rice, argued for the abol-
ishment Of the offices Of county agent
and club leader. Some contended that
the farmers were not getting value
received from these offices and others
asked for their discontinuance in or
der to reduce taxes. 4 49, ..s..s,
After holding hearings Monday and
Tuesday the commissioners voted to
refer the matter to the farm organ
izations of the county in an effort
to get as widespread farm opinion
as possible.
The question has been controvert-
ed one since the time the old board
adopted the. annual budget last fall.
Later the Grange and Farm Bureau
adopted marketing program which
they asked the county agent to fol-
low. County Agent. Georgeson re-
Gently submitted marketing pro-
gram which the extension service was
willing to adopt and this program
was approved by the Pomona Grange
and the executive committee Of the
Farm Bureau. Evidently itsdoes. not
meet the approval Of a number Of
farmers, especially those in the Pros
ser district. i.r g ~ ars
It is evident that the farm opinion
is divided three ways. Some wish
The office abolished regardless of what
its program is or by whom it is FILL
ed; others want the service continued
provided their own ideas as to pro-
gram are adopted; and a third eie-
ment want the service continued but
IN agent other than Mr. Georgeson.
To harmonic these three lines Of
action is the task which confronts the
board.
