O. G. BARRETT WILL GO TO STEUBEN CO.

Jasper County Will Not Hire Agent Until After Sept. Ist—Get a New Man Then. It was decided Monday by the county board of education to postpone the selection of a eounty agent until after September Ist, when the county council will meet to make appropriations and after; it has been definitely decided whether the decision of the supreme court affecting county agents is to stand or whether a rehearing will be granted. The council agreed to make the appropriation without being mandated if no rehearing of the Fountain county case is granted.

O. G. Barrett, agent of this county for the past year, will go to Steuben county, in all probability. He will be recommended to the .board of education there by Purdue University. Angola is the eounty seat of Steuben. Mr. Barrett is having his household goods stored and will leave them here until the call comes from there.
