I am looking for another man who will represent the boy’s and girl’s clubs. Please get out the wo men as well as the men.” It is hoped we will get a large crowd out for this very important meeting. It is also hoped that ar rangements may be made for a farm agent. This movement must come from the farmers because it is for them he must work. A petition with sufficient names attached should be ready on that day. A farm agent is indispensable at this time. A man who will arrange for farmer’s meet ings is the first thing to look for now.

The rivers, lakes and various pleas ure resorts are attracting large num bers of our people these hot days. Almost any evening auto loads of youngsters, and older ones, may be seen driving toward the Elkhornj river in search of water deep enough to wet their bathing suit. It is al most unnecessary to warn the child ren about getting into deep water in case they cannot swim, although some say that there are several holes along the stream that are deep enough in which to swim. The river is very low at this time of year and especially now since we have had no rain for so long. Vacation «t.uon has urrived for ull those who have the desire and can af ford to go away tor the summer, or even for a week or two, and during the next two months millions of peo ple will lie traveling in nil directions, to and from widely advertised resorts and stopping at shady nooks or eopl! retreat* here and there. Perhaps! there are few people hut who have the inclination to take a vacation and everyone should enjoy a brief period of time from their daily labor* at least once a year but there la a migh ty good and sufficient reason why more of them cannot take a little rest and recreation during the hot summer day*. It is the lack of money with which to meet expenses and travel, at most people tike to travel, that keep* the majority of us at home pegging away at uur work 3*55 days in the year.
