SIX OF ELEVEN TRUSTEES FOR CQUN1T AGENT Only One of Other Five Was Opposed to Plan Personally.

Six of the eleven trustees that attended the meeting in the court house Wednesday, for the purpose of discussing the proposition offerd by T. A. Coleman, of Purdue university for the sending of a county agricultural agent to Wayne county, favored the hiring of a county agentOf the five men that opposed the hiring of an agent, only one declared 'that he was personally against the measure. ' The others, gave as their reason for opposing a county agent the fact that the farmers in their townships did not want an agent. This fact should not keep trustees from voting for an agent, however, according to Mr. Coleman, who declared that farmers generally opposed the hiring of an agent because they did not understand the work carried on by the agent. Citss Instances. Several Instances were given by Mr. Coleman where agents who had been hired In opposition to the wishes of farmers later proved Invaluable to the community in which they worked. One instance given by Mr. Coleman showed where the expert advice of a county agent waved several hundred acres of valuable corn fields from an invasion by the army worm. "In this county," Mr. Coleman said "the' agent was not hired through the unanimous consent of the farmers. After some time, however, the men of the community began to come to the agent for advice. "One Saturday a man came to the office of the agent with a strange looking worm. He told the agent that this worm had destroyed a clover field on his farm and asked whht could be done to destroy the worm. "After investigating the conditions under which the worm destroyed the clover, the agent discovered that the pest was the army worm, and at once set about to destroy the worm. "At the advice of the agent, every farmer in the community gathered at th farm where th worm was at work, and following the instructions of the ngent, soon routed out the pest that, If left alone would have done great damage In the community." This was only one of the many instances where farmers were benefited by the county agent, and with the assistance of the Purdue extension department this benefit will be greatly Increased.

All Congressman May Take Stump to Explain War Aims

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Congress may turn itself into a great Chautauqua when it finishes work here, to enlighten every section of the country on the need for prosecuting the war vigorously, not only as a war for world democracy but as a fight for American rights and preservation. President Wilson himself may "do his bit" in the same direction possibly, by a speech on some occasion or by a letter to congressional leaders. Plans were in a nebulous state today, but all the under current in official quarters was toward such a move. Congress leaders were talking of Internal ( . 0 Gear Drive

FRENCH EFFECT -GAIN OF GROUND

(By Associated Press) News from the Flanders front is of scant proportions, the most important item being an announcement in the British official report that the French again have affected a gain of ground on- their front northwest of Bixschoole. No mention Is made in either the British or the French statement of tho extent of the artillery activity which yesterday was giving indication of growing intensity. The front in France was inactive last night except for the customary artillery bombardment in the Aisne region and somewhat lively raiding operations on the part of the French forces. The stiffening of the Russian defensive is at least slowing down the Teutonic advance, having apparently checked it altogether in some sectors. The slight increase in the number of British vessels sunk by submarines or-'mines last week a shown by yesterday's report is coupled with the announcement of an increase also in tho French losses for that period, although the total is as usual notably small. Four vessels of the class- of 1,600 tons or more were sunk, as against two the preceding week and two vessels Qf the smaller tonnage as compared with one. Italy's losses were two steamers and one small sailing vessel as against four sailing vessels unk in the preceding weekly period. FIVE Y. M. C. A. YOUTHS . PASS FIRST AID TESTS FJve member of the Richmond Y. M. . A. have received First Aid certificates for having passed the association Red Cross first aid examination Hast spring. Paul R.

Two boys received a boy's certificate They were Cecil Cureton and John Livingstone, both juniors, who received grades of 75 percent. practically putting congress on the stump by asking every representative and senator to go through his district during the recess, speaking on the part of the United States in the war and emphasizing that the United States is fighting for the future, not of the worid but of itself. Those who favor the plan point out that the country is hearing many agitators who oppose the draft and participation in the war. They think that fathers and mothers who are giving to the country should hear something on the other side of the question and from official sources. 'ORE POWER at less j cost is insured by the
