Club Workers Prepare
Tentative Programs

9 Miss M. Elmina White, assist
ant director in Home Economics ex-
tension work, met with a group of
10 Benton County home makers
representing 10 community clubs, for
the purpose of considering the or
ganization of a county council. Such
a council would act in the capacity
of an executive or advisory commit
tee to the local Assistant Agent in
Home Economics.
The program in extension is di-
rected toward aiding rural people
in utilizing all the resources of the
home, the farm and the community,
in order to provide satisfying life
for the family as well as optimum
development for the individual. In
order that the home makers in Ben
ton County may utilize to the best
advantage the services of the Agri-
cultural Extension office, it is ne
cessary that the women determine
and indicate community needs to
the Extension Service. If these
needs can be coordinated into a
countrywide program of work, the
individual communities will have a
stronger and more interesting pro-
gram as well as q means for con-
structive progress in accomplish
ing definite detectives over period
of time.
Miss White outlined the aims and
detectives of a county council or adj
visory board and gave specific re-
suits experienced by other counties
in this state. The organization of
the Benton County Council will be
determined during the latter part
of September when this same group
will bring back the reports from
their clubs.
In addition, the women made up
a tentative program for next year.
This program with suggestions will
be sent to all clubs within the next
few days in order that the individ-
ual problems and vote on a major
project for next year, which will
meet local needs. says Miss Helen
Steiner, assistant extension agent.
These program suggestions will then
be coordinated into a county pro-
gram at the September meeting.
The following clubs and their del
egates were represented at the meet
ing on Tuesday, May 18th, with

THE sPECULAToR IN STOCKS

At a press conference last week President Roose-
welt declared that speculation in the stock market
is dangerous. The little fellows who were subject
ed to the squeeze that began last summer will re-
ply, You're telling us!'
If all buyers of stocks bought for investment,
there would be few panics on the exchanges of this
and other countries But when buying Is based
largely upon speculation those who buy for invest
ment often suffer along with the spectators.
Many buyers of stocks act upon lunches or upon
the suggestions of other SPECTATORS They know
little about the concerns whose securities they
purchase. They do not know the character of the
management or the record of accomplishment.
They buy or sell because they believe the stock or
stocks in which they propose to put their money
will 20 up or down, and they are bulls or bears
according to their expectations.
When a man goes into a business about which
he knows little nothing he always is on danger
Gus ground. He is good meat" for brokers and
he has come to be known as a lamb. If the admin
Straton and Wall Street can work together to
make speculation in securities unattractive to the
public and make buying for investment safer we
shall hear less in derogation of the Street in the
Herald.

FROM FARM TO CITY

The farm-to-city and back-tO-the-farm move
ments are like ebb and flow tides, except that they
are irregular and unpredictable in their pine
nomena. In the 192O's an unprecedented industrial
boom that eliminated in 1929 was drawing work
er from the country to the cities. 1t was the sub
jeet of much unfayorabe comment. After 1929
there were no more decreases in farm population
until 1886, in which year 1,166,0O0 persons left
the farms for the cities and $4,000 went from the
cities to the farms.
Interest in the old debate about the significance
of population shifts is revived by indication of the
Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economics, that
unless the remaining two months shall change 1t,
1887 will record the movement to the cities as
still outweighing the counter movement The eff
feet on agriculture is minor consideration today,
with fears of overproductiOn concerning the gov
ernment, but it is more serious problem than
ever for the cities, where any industrial decline
will augment the old, or set up new relief prob

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TAXES YOU DON'T SEE

The farmer pays taxes every year on his farm;
if the tax rate goes up he notices it at once and
squawks.
The city dweller who lives in an apartment or
rented house pays no taxes at all; if the tax goes
up he says not word, thinking that it does not
affect him personally.
That the city dweller thereby kids himself ruin
ousy is pointed out in a tax study prepared by
Dr. Mabel Newcomer of Vassar College for the
Twentieth Century Fund.
For the city dweer, Dr. Newcomer remarks, &C
tually pays heavier taxes than the farmer.
His monthly rent payments include property
tax far higher than that in rural regions. Almost
everything he buys has a similar hidden tax.
Dr. Newcomer sums it up by showing that an
average Illinois farmer who makes $1,000 year
pays out 1914 per cent of his income in taxes; but
his brother in the city, who has the same income,
pays out 1913 per cent in taxes.
Until city folk generally realize this fact and
protest accordingly, there is scant hope of reduc-
ing the heavy tax load.-Greenville Piedmont.

THE HENDERSON COUNTY FAIR

Many citizens of the town and county
are interested in knowing, at the earliest
possible date, what is to be done about the
county fair.
The TimeS-NewS is confident that the
people of the county are almost unanl-
mously of the opinion that it would be
mistake TO try to continue these annual
exhibitions without grounds and equip
ment. Under such conditions, as Hender-
son county knows from experience, the
carnival steals the show" In addition,
without grounds, buildings and equipment,
it is impossible to make a display of farm
products and to make other displays which
should be the chief aim of county fair.
The entire problem may be summed up
in saying that it is impossible to hold
county fair next year or in the future UNI
der such conditions as prevailed this year
and have predominated at nearly all the
annual exhibitions conducted in Hender-
son county in the past. The people of the
county will not make an effort to go on
with the fair under such conditions.
Speaking. as it believes it does in this
case. for the people of Hendersonville and
the county, this newspaper urges the man.
agement of the Fair Association to take
immediate steps in planning for the future
of the organization. Time will be neces-
sary to organize and finance and build
home for the fair.
Right now is not too soon to begin the
active work of putting the fair movement
on a sound and enduring foundation.
What is the answer of the officers OF
the Fair Association and some thousands
of citizens of the town and county who
are interested in a county fair?

Forest Lookout

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. 10.
,(UP)-Friendliness of a rattle
snake at a Ouachita National For
est lookout near here resulted in
its death.
The snake, named odd Spot"
by the forestry lookouts, had loi-
tered near the tower atop Oak
mountain for two years, "chum-
ming" with the observers. In the
cool of the day the snake could
be found at the foot of the tower,
waiting for his human compan-
ions to come down and play with
him." .
Recently a new helper who was
not so familiar with the snakes
ways was assigned TO the tower.
The helper was hanging up cloth
ing one morning when "Old Spot"
crawled up the hill. The reptile
was playful, but the lookout
thought the snake meant business.
"Old Spot" got too close. Now
he won't come back for any more
games.
"Old Spot" was one of three
lattlcrs that were seen around in
the vicinity of the lookout lower.
\ little later one of it, mates was
found dead.
The third reptile, sensing a
change in attitude. apparently
found a new home. 1t hasn't been
seen since in the vicinity Of the
tower.
Forest rangers said that the
snakes were wild. but that they
never had tried to bite anyone.
Forest workers even had fed in
