Aside from this about 500 OF the
SIS, 900 that was brought into the
county from the sale of dairy cows
came through this Office. Results
show that cattle sold by the help Of
this Office, have brought better prices
than those sold through other sources.
In considering this report we beg OF
you to bear in mind that the County
Agents field of activities is large. The
county is large. Roads are not always
the best. Further, please consider
that there are something over 1000
farms in Grant county, and to reach
all in one year is out of the question.
However, any person asking for help
no matter where, will receive prompt
attention. Our requests are many and
not as yet has the County Agent had
to go out in search of something to do.
About 900 of meetings held are night
meetings. Very often we receive the
complaint from people that the Coun-
ty Agent has never called on me-"
All we can say is, that unless they
make their wants known we do not
know that they want our help. Our
desire is to help all who wish help.
We are at their service and will gladly
do all in our power with time and
weather conditions permitting.
Respectfully submitted,
]. B. KEENAN,,
County Agent.

pleteness of the exhibit, class OF ar
ticles that were shown therein and the
way it was shown, caused the judges
to proclaim Grant county first OF all
counties The County Booth this year
came within 81 points of perfect
score and lead our nearest contender

The report of the special committee

and on motion of Mr.. Willis duly sec
Onded the report was adopted.
To the Honorable Board OF Supervis-
ors of Grant County.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned committee on
agriculture, desire TO report briefly
upon the work of the County Agent.
Mr.. ]. B. keenan, was appointed by
the committee at meeting held jan
uary 22nd, 1928. Mr.. Keenan, started
work on March 1st., 1928, and we
wish to state that he has worked very
faithfully, accomplishing much more
than had been anticipated by the COM
mittee. His report to you will give
you an idea of the magnitude of the
work put across by his office since the
first of March
The exhibit of Grant county at the
State Fair was made as authorized by
the Board at it's last session, three
hundred dollars having been appro-
priated for this purpose. The Grant
County Booth won first place at the
State Fair and attracted much atten-
ton. The slogan THE California OF
Wisconsin" which Mr.. keenan, origi-
mated, has won fame throughout the
state.
The total expense of the exhibit
was three hundred, three dollars and
seventy-two cents (303.72). One hun
dred ninety-eight dollars Q98.00)
was awarded to the county in prem
iums and that amount has been turn
ed back into the Treasurer's hands,
which being deducted from the eX-
pense leaves one hundred five dollars
and seventy-two, 105.72) as the net
cost of the exhibit to the county.
Your committee now recommends
that three hundred dollars 100000 be
appropriated for an exhibit at the
1924 State Fair.
Your committee further recon-
mends that the same appropriation
for county agent work be continued
for the next two years as has obtain
ed for the past two years, thirteen
hundred dollars, 0,30O.00) per year
to meet the county's share of the an
nual salary, and twelve hundred dol
lars, Q,200.00) per year for annual
travelling expense.
Your committee further recon-
mends that the present encumbent lie
retained, if possible, for the coming
year.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted,

Lancaster, Wis,
November Is, 1928.
To the Honorable Board of Supervis-
ors, Grant County, Wisconsin:
We, your committee on equaliza-
ton, realizing that the past two years
has shown a marked decrease in the
sale value of property, both real and
personal, in all parts of this county,
recommend the adoption Of the fol-
lowing resolution:
RESOLVED by the County Board OF
Grant county, that the assessor OF in
comes for Grant county carefully con-
slider the lowering in values of prop
erty, both real and personal, brought
about by the past two years or more
of depression in farming and other
lines of business, and upon such con-
sideration make his assessment OF
values in this county conform to pres
ent conditions, which we believe
would necesSitate a marked reduction
in his assessment thereof.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that
the clerk of this Board send copy
of this resolution and the action taken
thereon to r. A. Tredinnick, Assessor
of Incomes for this county.

RELIGIOUS DEMAND
SCORED BY PASTOR

Ry the Associated Press.

HI the Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn, September Is.
While on every hand there is a de-
nland for a religious solution of the
difficulties that confront the world,
the practical trouble is mans loss of
faith in man rather than his loss of
faith in God, declared the Rev. Horace
J. Bridges of Chicago, preaching yes
terday in BattelI Chapel, Yale Uni
Nersity, to the delegates TO the annual
convention of the Unitarian Laymen's
league and general Unitarian con-
ference of the United States and Can
ada
Rev. Mr. Bridges described the una
nimity with which the demand is
raised, from Woodrow Wilson. in a
recent magazine article; from VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, whom he de-
fined ilitrate on the subject
which he most emphasizes today:
from leaders of the Roman Catholic
Church and from leaders in the ranks
of radicalism and socialism. The
minister assailed the theory of many
who are ready to explain that the
trouble of the world is economic; that
its root lies in the inequity and in
justice with which the material goods
of this life are distributed. He held
that the radical spirit of revolt had
become more acute, more conscious,
more intense, almost step by step as
economic conditions have improved.
The primarily need is to vindi-
cate the spiritual nature of man him
self, for | submit for your considera-
tien that the practical trouble today
Is his loss Of faith in man rather than
loss of faith in God"

GRIP-TITE
SHOES -
With the Specially Fitted Heel E<"S<
$3.50 o.

How often have you had a smart-loolling
pair of shoes, expensive ones. perhaps, that
everyone admired, yet you hated to wear them
because they slipped at the heel, rubbed blisters
on your feet and holes in your stocking, and
were generally uncomfortable.
The Grip Tite will overcome all of this. The
combination last is two widths narrower at the
heel than at the ball, causing snug heel and
well-supported arch, that will overcome most of
the minor foot troubles.
But style has not been sacrificed to this
scientific comfort. Grip-Tite shoes are of as
fine feathers and workmanship as it is possible
to put in any kind of shoes at 81 so, and all the
popular (not extreme) styles are included, with
high medium or low heels. And there is every
size UP to 10, which is distinct advantage to
the woman who has had to have her shoes
made to order.
