AMES SMITHSON, an Englishman,
who died In Ituly In 1829, left his
property to the United States “to
found at Washington, under the name
of the Smithsonian institution, an es
tablishment for the Increase and dif
fusion of knowledge among men.”
“A consultive library of objects’
rather than an Institution of learning
In the nature Of a college with a
faculty und students, Its educational
activities are of the very broadest
character. The several buildings are
located In 38-ucre Smithsonian ¡¡ark,
the Institution also maintaining sta
tions at other widely sepurated points.
Its expeditions, surveys and explora
tions cover practically every country
under the sun.

The fanners of Fairview and Gor
man districts met February 13th and
organized a Farm Bureau.
Nearly
all the men were out and much inter
e s t was taken in thia work. Every
one realized the importance of cooper
ation and the ways in which the farm-
|er is benefited by working with hia
neighbors to achieve the results which
he longs to get but has never been
able to realize. It seemed to be the
(desire of every man present to get
away from the tendency to follow the
path of least resistance in farming
and the “ I ’ll do my part” spirit was
plainly shown. V. H. Smith, presi
dent of WasvO Farm Bureau, was
present and gave some of his splendid
ideas. C. C. Calkins also assisted in
organizing and arranging committees.
Hans Thompson was elected president
and Dell Wright secretary. The fo l
lowing committees were appointed:
Weed control, Oby Knapp, Roy Rich;
