Addressing the National Associa-

Pont said such a program was
Staggering in its size and complex
ity," but neither hopeless nor i'm
possible" To achieve 1t, he declar-
ed, government must give industry
"a reasonable amount of certainty
upon which 1t can. count in planning

Earlier the 500 executives of Am

1898 Soil Conservation Program
To Be Explained

The 1888 Soil Conservation pro-
gram has been received at the office
of John H. Carter, County Agent. AS
soon as arrangements can be made for
meeting places a series of meetings
will be held for the purpose Of explain
ing the program and discussing local
problems, Mr.. Carter said.
Although similar to the program
carried out in 1887, the program for
next year differs in some important
aspects. One of these is the fact that
each farmer who participates will be
assigned quota for soil-depleting
crops and a soil-conserving quota for
his farm and the maximum payment
he can earn will be based upon his
compliance with these quotas, it was
stated. He will be informed in advance
of planting the seasons crops what his
quotas will be and will know the max
imum payment that he can earn on his
farm by full compliance.

COUNCIL WILL DETERMINE
EXTENT OF DECORATIONS
Just How Gayly Town Will Be
Lighted Depends On Meeting

That Oakland would be gayly
lighted for the Christmas season was
a certainty, but just how gayly de-
ponds upon action of the city council
on Monday night, according to the
secretary of the Oakland Rotary Club,
which organization has heretofore had
charge of this activity.
Merchants are already engaging
evergreen trees to be placed along the
curbs as in previous years, and the
Oakland firemen are planning to Sc
cure a large community tree to be
placed on the lawn of the Presbyterian
church. The unknown quantity is the
amount of vari-colored bulbs and
STRAINS of decorations that will be put
across the main streets of town.
The citizens themselves will deco
rate their homes, just as in years
past.
For the past two years the City
Council has aided the Rotary Club in
making and arranging decorations on
the streets, and whether or not the
council will again do the job in its
entirety will be decided at their reg
ular monthly meeting on Monday ev-
euing. The Oakland Rotary Club, &C.
cording to some of it's members, has
relinquished this responsibility to the
proper body.
