the matter up with the community ami
county Farm councils, the business men
and manufacturers of ammunition.Here
is something goon for the council to get
busy on, A big oyster supper is in
prospect.
It cannot be urged too strongly that
every farmer should attend the Farmers
Congre ; at Stillwater us much as possi-
ble of the week of August 24-30. The

union and simliar organization and Club
work . tne 20th horticulture entomology
the 27;h State Farm Council day, and
thi i' tiie dav that every farmer shauld
be there; the 28th and 29th livestock,
dairying, poultry and field crops.
I would urge all farmers titake their
lamilies as many days as possible. In
addation to being a profitable outing it
will result in much good and a better
understanding of the farmers problem
and their solution. If we do not attend
anrl help with this work,, we have no
grounds whatever to complain, Your
b< I spent day ol the year will be the
one you spent at Stillwater.
Of course Coyle can and v.iil have a
community fair here this year. Get your fully inquired as to what Mr. Ford's
