Flag Raising Monday morning at ten o'clock there was a flag raising at Caldwell High School building in this city. A large number of citizens and patrons and the scholars of the various de partments gathered in the auditorium where patriotic songe were sung and oratory flowed. First on the program was the sing ing of "America," by the entire audi ence standing, the school orchestra playing the accompaniment. The mu sic was under the direction of Miss Cynthia Davison, and the manner in which the school children sang was most inspiring and elevating to every one. Prof. Lewis, who has charge of the music at the Brooks-Lewis revival at the First Christian church, was pres present - ent present and thrilled and charmed the au audience - dience audience by singing two solos. He has a fine voice and is a splendid singer. At the conclusion of the songs, Prof. D. W. Bridges, superintendent of the school, in a few well chosen words, introduced Hon. W. B. Smith, the veteran, lawyer and splendid citi zen, who knows more of the history of this city and county than any liv ing . man. More than three-quarters of a century ago, Mr. Smith attended school as a boy in a small building where our present magnificent school building now sits in majestic pride. He told of conditions as they then ex isted. There were only boys attend ing school in the old days when he was a school boy. There was always a bunch of switches in the school and the old fashioned schoolmaster did not "spare the rod and spoil the child" Mr. Smith made an excellent speech and was roundly applauded. He concluded his remarks by reciting the poem of John D. Whittier, dedi cated to the little red school house. At the conclusion of the speech- making, the children formed in line and passed out of the building very orderly and lined up in front of the great institution of learning where they sang "The Star Spangled Ban Banner," - ner," Banner," with vim and vigor. As they sang the last stanza of the National air, a large American flag was un furled over the dome of the school house and floated serenely in the gen tle breezes, amidst the vociferous ap plause of the children and visitors. After the flag raising the scholars and visitors returned to the auditor ium where Prof. S. S. Myers, teacher of voice culture at the Normal School delivered an oration on "The Battle of Gettysburg." Prof. Myers was in the battle of Gettysburg, his parents residing there at the time the climax was reached in the great battle that was fought between the North and South and the destiny of the nation was settled. He was but a mere boy, an inquisitive boy at the time, and he gave a glowing description of the haid fought battle and the impression it made upon him. His speech was greatly appreciated by all who heard it. Delivers Able Address Prof. Charles A. Keith, of the East Eastern - ern Eastern Normal School, delivered an ad address - dress address to the graduating classes of Campton Graded and High Schools, Prof. Keith is a man who has traveled extensively in this country and Eu rope.

A largo number of students were in attend a'ice at the meeting and they conduct ed themselves in a highly creditable manner. A song service was one of the delights of the evening. There is an organ in this school building, where preaching is held monthly, and it seems to us that everybody in that community could sing, and everybody at the meeting did sing, and it was greatly enjoyed by the visitors. Mr. Ben Boggs, County Agent, pre sided over the meeing. The speakers on this occasion were Mr. C. C. Thom Thomas, - as, Thomas, secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, and Flank Leslie Russell, at torney. At the conclusion of the speech-making, the " Girls' Canning Club being organized in the county was briefly explained and a numbei-i of membership cards were distributed among the young ladies present. We have since learned that ten girls in this ' community have joined the ranks. The people of this section are wide-awake and hospitable, and it is delight and pleasure to meet them. College Hill. large and enthusiastic meeting was held at College Hill. Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. About one hundred farmers, their wives and laughters, attended this meeting and great interest was manifested. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Ben Boggs, County Farm Agent, and Mr. C. C. Thomas. The people of the Col lege Hill neighborhood are wide-a wake, active and progressive citizens. This is one of the greatest sections of the county for the production of food supplies. Here fine watermel- i, fruits and vegetables are grown great abundance, and the ladies take a deep interest in the canning of fruits and vegetables. Seven new members were added to the Girls' Canning Club, which makes this the largest community club in the county. We congratulate the good people of College Hill upon their splenflid wortf I and trust that other communities will follow their example. Kingston.

Chadwick a member of the Board of Lectureship of .the Mother Church, of Boston, Mass., and is one of their eminent speakers. Important Work Under normal conditions the work of the county agent has been fraught with splendid results but under pres ent conditions the value of this work can hardly be estimated. It has been a hard matter to get our farmers to fully appreciate the value of the free bulletins that are constanly being is issued - sued issued by the Department of Arigcul Arigcul-ture, - ture, Arigcul-ture, and the county agent is not only bringing the facts contained in these bulletins to the attention of the farm' er but he is making demonstrations that are convincing the farmer that scientific and intensive farming pays. Now that the nation is facing a great crisis that will likely result in an un usual demand for food products, the suggestion and aid of the county agent will be invaluable. It is the desire of the Climax-Madisonian to co-operate in any way possible with the agents and reports of the work being done will be given prominent space in the paper, as we feel that' it is an important work and should re ceive more general recognitionn.
