A Special Election
A special election, culled by the
County Excise Board, will lie held
in Hennessey Friday, August 21. to
vote on the additional 2 1-0 mills
provided in the financial estimate
of the Town of Hennessey, recently
tiled with the Excise Board. As
the law provides a limit of four
mills for town purposes, a special
election is necessary for the addi-
tional 2 Ml) mills provided in the
estimate.
Despite the rigid economy prac-
ticed by the present board, the
four mill levy has proven insutli
fient and the board decided to
put it up to the people. Every
voter should cast his ballot in this
election. Prove your good citizen-
ship.

Gene Young, who was severely!
burned ou his father s farm north
of Lacey, is progressing nicely at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Guy
Collins, where he was brought after
the accident. Gene was watching
his brother, who was at work on a
gasoline engine, when the accident
happened, and his clothing ignited
when the engine back-fired while
being primed. The force of the ex-
plosion knocked the oil can from
tus brother's hands and a portion
of the oil struck the young boy and
immediately ignited. He at once
started out for a nearby straw
stack', with his brothers in pursuit.
He was finally overtaken and the
Humes extinguished with sand and
dirt and an old piece of canvas
from the separator. He was pain-
fully burned on the right side, arm
and leg.

Farm Demonstration
Work of the Department of
Agriculture—It's Purpose
Another phase of the Demonstra-
tion Work is the interesting and in-
structing of farm boys and girls in
the things of farm life. The great-
er part of their knowledge they
get from their parents, the source
from which they should receive it,
but it is every child's right to have
a chance to learn more. The
County Agents visit personally
every boy and girl in the Clubs as |
often as possible, bringing to them
on the farm the inspiration and |
the advantage of the best and
latest of technical learning. It is
true, farm paper# might be said
to serve the same purpose but such
reading is dry and uninteresting
and the child finds it hard to un-
derstand unless it be explained. A
blight and entertaining teacher is
needed. , i vvi«h to thank my many friends
