4 - COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE VOLUME 26. NUMBER 2. COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JAN. 11, 1918. $1.50 A YEAR. COUNTY AGENTS A NECESSITY Every County in Idaho to Line Up Before Feb. Ist. H. W. Hochbaum of Boise, County Agent Leader, has sent out circular letters all over the state, together with a map show- ing that already 26 of the counties have patriotically met the Federal Government’s request to employ a county agent. The letter reads as follows: On Nov. 25 the County Agent Leaders of the United States were called together and told that the National Government felt that in order to meet the situations rap- idly developing out of the war, it was necessary to have a county agent in every county of the Uni- ted States at the earliest possible moment. In every State of the Union the County Agent Leaders are carrying out this demand. Since then ten counties in Ida- ho have made appropriations of not less than $2000 each to em- ploy agents in compliance with this demand. Sixteen counties are already employing agents. Will your county be on the map by Feb. 1st? Representative farmers in your county are carrying the word to the people of your county and pe- titions will be carried to the com- missioners of your county on Jan. 14. Itis your duty to help the movement in your county. The county agents are giving wonderful service to the farmers in war time emergencies. There- fore do not let ordinary misunder- standings, which may still pre- vail, stand in the way of the Gov- ernment’s program. Secretary of Agriculture Hous- ton indorses the county farm agent system in the following words: The county agent system, as developed by the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture in coopera- tion with the State agricultural colleges, has demonstrated its great usefulness as a means of promoting the full development of the agricultural resources of the country. Working in intimate and sym- pathetic relation with rural peo- ple, the county agent is able to secure the application of scientific knowledge and discoveries to the business of the farmer and the home life of country people. In the present war he has been ready to meet the emergency and to concentrate all rural forces and. organizations in working out the T great problems of food production | OF INTERE ST and food conservation.

Buettner $25, Mrs. W.. Orr $1. We would be grateful to anyone who would donate coal. The rooms will be open Mon- day and Wednesday evenings for work in surgical dressing. Mrs. Hall, the Lewiston chapter in- structor, was in Portland last week and met an officer who lost an arm because he was without dressings for three days. His ~ message to the women was “‘speed up on dressings.” A box of finish- : ed dressings was sent to Lewiston | and.a letter was received: saying they were splendid in every way. Your help at the rooms is needed. A letter was received from Lew- iston telling how nicely the finish- © ed articles were made and saying how sorry they were they could not supply us with more yarn as the Cottonwood ladies knitted the garments so quickly. Weare grateful to Mrs. John Hoene and Mrs, Coy Gentry for flour sacks. i Mr. Phillips presented the soci- ety with a Red Cross pin cushion made of leather and velvet. We are sorry to lose Mrs. Phillips, for__ she has been one of the very faith- ful ones, Regardless of ill health she was found at the rooms, not doing her bit, but her best. May some other society find her as loy- al and helpful as we have. The local Chapter of the Red Cross sincerely thank Ross How- ard for the proceeds of the sheep, ' sold at auction sale here Satur- day, which brought $59, and How- ard McKinley for the proceeds of a hog, sold the same day, for $57.50, also to John Jungert, who donated the proceeds of the sale — of one share of stock in the Cot- tonwood Creamery, which will be sold within a couple of days . for something like $100. The Cottonwood Band also has our thanks for a donation of $6. Illustrated Lecture Ténight. P. J. Bragg of Seattle will give an illustrated lecture at the Or- pheum tonight at 7:30 o’clock in the interest of the hundreds of thousands of starving women and children in Western Asia, caused by the ravages of the war. These lectures are given thru- out the country for the purpose of arousing the interest and sympa- thy of the American people to come to the relief of these starv- ing people. Mr. Bragg has been over there and took the pictures himself which will be shown on the screen. 4 | aero wistog week from Russelville, Ind., to| | ; Patriotism and Business >< Every good citizen at this time should do his share toward strengthening the Fed- eral Reserve Banking System which our Government has created with its billion dollars of resources to stand back of its member banks and all their depositors.
