It In Salisan" BAUMAN SAYS FAREWELL TO COUNTY PEOPLE Urges Everyone to Cooperate Fully With the New Agents to Build Happy Farm Life.

To the People of Sequoyah County: I will have, by the time you read this, turned over my duties as County Agent in Sequoyah County to Mr. Wright, one of the agents, until now, in Osage County. I am taking this means of thanking the people of this county for their cooperation with me in the work which I have been trying to do. I feel that more than ninety percent of the farmers and business men of this county believe in me, and in my work. Let me ask that every one interested in the welfare of the county as a whole give the same loyal support and cooperation to Mr.

Wright that you have to me because what little I have been able to accomplish has been done because of that cooperation, and SO it will be with him. He will need you. I will be unable to call on those I know, and I am taking this method of saying "So Long." When I get located, if I ever do, I'll be glad to see anyone from this County. Again, may I say, cooperate one hundred percent with your new agents and continue to try to build a county of homes where farm people have a complete, happy life. Sincerely, C.
