FRENCH, BELGIAN RAILROADS
GRANT RATES TO LEGION

French and Belgian railways are
to give special reduced rates for
the transportation of Lepionnsires
and members Of the American Le-
gion Auxiliary during the period
Of their visit TO France for the
1927 convention. Negotiations be
tween the French and Belgian rsil-
ways and the France Convention
Committee were made during The
recent visit to Europe OF John J,
Wicker. Jr., Of Richmond, Va ma
tional travel director for the Le-
gion.
The cooperation of the railways
win extend To the provision of spec.
ial trains from the ports of debark-
alton to Paris and special trains
during the continuance Of the con
vention for visits to American bat
tlefelds and American cemeteries
abroad.
As a result of the low rates
agreed upon, it will be possible for
the 10000 veterans and their fam
lies who join the pilgrimage TO
France next year to travel far more
cheaply in France and Belgium than
would be possible if they were
travelling alone, Mr.. Elder said. The
special trains used will not be made
up of the forty men-and- eight
horses" type of car familiar during
the war, but will be the regular
comfortable equipment of the Euro
pean railways.

The County Agricultural Agent is not a meddler-
he is consultant and Investigator. who stands ready
difficulties which rob him of honest profit. He is TO the
farmer what the consulting engineer is to the big
facturer.
The proof of the pudding lies in the results Over
in Cumberland County they have had an Agricultural
Agent for years. The farmers found his advice
and cooperation valuable that he swamped
