District Deputy W. T- New
sum, of the modern Woodmen
of the World,- was in Danbury
recently looking over the situ
ation with a view to organizing
orders of Woodmen here and at
Walnut Cove, Sandy liidge and
Lawsonville.
Mr- Newsum stated that he
would not begin the work be
fore latter part of the summer
as farmers are now very busy
gettir-f ready to put out their
crops, but us soon as the busy
season is over he expects to put
on a strong campaign for a
large membership.
Automobile dealers and nton
ufacturers in Germany have
established a "board of esti
mate" whose task it is to estab
lish the value of used automo
biles offered for sale. This
helps tourists in Germany who
buy cars abroad and wish to
get rid of them at the end of
their trip. They can be satisfied
that no one has * taken advan
tage of their position-

STOKES MAY HAVE i
FARM AGENT
! I
County Commissioners Discuss
Advisability Of Proposition 1
—State Would Pay Half Of j
Salary—Demonstrator Bad
ly Needed
The probability is that Stok- j
es county will have a farm
demonstrator in near future-
At least the matter was dis
cussed at length by the board
of county Commissioners at :
, their meeting here Monday,!
after they had received letters
and requests from citizens ask-|
ing that a man be secured as
early as possible.
The question of employing a
demonstrator is looked upon
favorably by the board, it is
learned, especially since the
State offers to pay half the
salary of a man- It was stated
here Monday that the half sala
ry of a njin would cost each
farmer only about 10 cents a
year and would be paid out of
the general fund without a spe
cial levy of taxes.
There is no doubt in the
minds of many of our progres
i sive citizens that a demonstra
tor is badly needed in the coun
ty to stimulate interest in the
county's principal industry, and
a live, competent agent would
| be worth several times his sala
i rv in the improvement of far
ming conditions-
