THE COUNTY AGENT: — The Hamilton county board of edu cation has decided, by a vote of 4 to :t. to discontinue the services of its county agricultural agent. A dis patch from Nobiesville says that the township trustees "gave as their rea son that the office originally was a war measure, and that the govern ment paid a part of the agent s sal ary. but this allowance was discon tinned last July.” The salary of the county agent has been divided between the county and the state. The maximum has been Jl.iioo for the county and the same amount for the state. This law has been in effect since 1913. and at the time the work started there was no thought of war. In addition to the salary provisions the law also provides that each county shall set aside SSOO for traveling expenses. The county agent is expected to be on the move almost constantly during spring, summer and fall months, and he must furnish his own machine. The sum was fixed when gasoline was selling at 11 cents a gallon and tires were about half their present cost. The government did make a special appropriation for war work done by i'ounty agents. This amounted to approximately S9O a month in Marion county. That appropriation hdp now been cut to S2O a month. There has been no change in the state law. dividing the cost of the agent between the local community and the state.

wen- employed during the year end Ing September 30. 1918, and in none of the eighty counties listed was the county’s portion of salary expense up I to the maximum allowed. The county agricultural agent has proved his] worth, even if he is not being paid hs much us in other states. The I value of the work is generally recog-' uized by farmers, and it has the indorsement and active cooperation of Purdue University. — Indianapolis News. The Indiana Democratic Editorial * banquet and session held this wt-ti in Indianapolis was a great event.] perhaps the largest and most en-’ thusiastic ever held in the state. I More titan five hundred attended the banquet and listened to the wonderful speeches by Governor Cox, Mrs. Jibson and Daniel Sims. They brought the audience to their feet I many times with their truths so ■splendidly stated. Daniel Sims, one >f the greatest lawyers of the middle west described the viciousrfess of he tax law and demanded its repeal. The attitude of each speaker ind each part of the meeting was hat the government be returned to he people. Governor Cox of Ohio eaped into popularity in ndiana t»y iis address which was sound and sane and showed his bigness. Mrs. Gibson is perltaps the leading woman orator of the country and she delighted those who heard her. The resolutions adopted were well written and said something and were adopted unanimously. All together it was some little old meeting. Dr. Paul Bowers of the North Indiana Hospital for Insane at Logansport has resigned. Recently Dr. Bliss of tlie School for Feeble Minded at Fort Wayne quit to accept a better position. In every institution in Indiana there is a shortage of competent help and the men and women in charge are contemplating accepting an offer to do similar work in some other state at much larger pay. For many years the public institutions of Indiana have ranked high and those in charge have been considered experts. One after another we are losing these experts and the result is sure to be disastrous. Efficiency means more to Indiana than does the saving of a few dollars or the establishing of a record to be I I used politically. We are paying a i rather high price for the economy campaign. Several very important matters are to be discussed at the meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association i Monday night. These are your prob ] lems and you should be interested j sufficiently to be there and help work them out. If you haven't join-j cd. do it now. The meeting will be I held at the library where there is room for a hundred. save: DISCOUNT ON TELEPHONE BILLS BY PAYING SAME ON OB BEFORE FEBRUARY Hi., i OFFICE OPEN SATURDAY,!
