OPPOSED TO A SUCCESSOR.
Regent Smith Gives an Opinion that an
Agrlculturist is not necessary.

In the last issue of the Fairmont
Index there appeared an article IN
der the head of The Station Agricul.
turist which probably reflects the
opinion of number OF the Board of
Regents, coming as it does from a
member of the Board, ColCL.Smith,
who is the editor of the Index. The
article says:
Upon the death of Col. ID. ID.
Johnson, the position of Agricultur-
alist at the Station at Morgantown
became vacant, and many persons
are expecting the Board of Regents
to fill the vacancy at its annual meet
ing in June. Several gentlemen
many of whom would probably be ac-
ceptable, have been mentioned in con
nection with the place. The first
thing the Board will have to deter
mine when it meets is whether it
will continue the position. An Ag-
riculturist is very necessary addi-
tion to the Station staff under prop
err conditions. If the Station had a
farm upon which experiments in az
riculture could he conducted, or if
there was any way by which the
time of the Agriculturalist could be
profitably employed in the promo
ton of the science of agriculture,
then it would be wisdom on the part
of the Board to fill the vacancy with
the very best man who could be pro-
cured, but under the present circum-
stances we hardly think it advisable
to have such an officer upon the Sta
tion staff. The selection of Colonel
johnson was made to see if anything
could be done without an expert
mental farm. Experimental plats
were established in various parts of
the State, which were supervised by
Col johnson with skill, but little
good was accomplished. Expert
ments were attempted upon parts OF
the grounds of the University. with
like result; and Col johnson was
badly discouraged because facilities
afforded were not sufficient to enable
him to succeed along the lines mark
ed out for him. He had the requisite
knowledge and skill, and the willing
ness to do it, but no place to work
Time and again the Legislature has
been asked to appropriate money to
purchase farm upon which expert
ments could be made, and in every
instance it failed to do so. We think
it would be folly therefore to con
tinue the Agriculturalist as a mem
Der of the Station staff, for there is
practically nothing for him to do,
and this will always be the case I'M
til an experimental farm is obtained.
The School Of Agriculture has
been enlarged and greatly improved,
and the Instructions given now upon
the science of agriculture is most
thorough. Added to this such prac-
tical work is given the student as is
afforded by the limited facilities to
the Station. This school, under the
charge of Prof Rain, affords every
facility that the University can give
and the Agriculturalist of the Sta
tion would not aid it in the least
nor contribute anything to the eff
cheney of the Station Staff. The Elk
perimental Farm should come before
the Agriculturalist is employed"

Didn't Lock the Doors.

A bold robbery occurred out on
Dolls run last Wednesday night.
Alex. Lemley had secured 1925 with
which to go next day to purchase a
yoke of cattle to haul oil rig lumber.
He put the money in his vest pocket
and went to bed in a room on the
ground floor. 1t has never been his
custom to lock the doors of his house
at night, and this night was no ex-
ception to the rule. The money was
in a pocketbook. Next morning he
looked and found the pocketbook,
but its contents of 1925 was gone.
Going out into the kitchen he found
that the thieves had lit the gas, set
the table and Toasted from what vic
tuals they could find. There is alb
solutely no clew to the robbers,
though it is presumed that the par
ties-the signs showed there was
more than one-must have had some
knowledge of his having the money
in his possession. He will keep his
doors locked at night hereafter,
which recalls an old saw everybody
knows.

THE GAS COMPANY
Will Continue to Light the Streets
Other Business Done BY Council.

There was full attendance at the
regular meeting of the town council
Monday evening. The first PROPOSE
tion considered was that of the gas
company to continue their contract
for lighting the streets. The Ser
geant had reported that there are
73 fambeaux now used for lighting
the streets, making the bill $3.50 a
year. 1t was ordered that there be
eight lights less used. which would
be $3.50. The further proposition of
the company is that If the town will
do the lighting of the flambeaux SIS
month will be reduced from the
aggregate bill for light. A fine plan
to save $50 year was then carried
through, which was to accept the
proposition and then give $40 a
month to have the lighting done, the
police officers to do it if they will,
and if not hire boy, thus saving S.
a month,

A Few From FairmOnt.

In its last issue the Fairmont In
dex contained the following notices,
interesting to readers of this paper
Miss Flora Hayes, Of Morgantown
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. c. B.
Fleming last Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Irene Myers, who on account
of i'll health, did not teach in the
Normal during the winter term, has
returned to this place greatly i'm
proved in health, and will resume
her duties at the commencement OF
the spring term.
II. Clay Miller, of Georgetown
called pleasantly at our office last
Thursday night. Mr. Miller has re.
tired from the mercantile business
and gone to farming, and is convinc-
ed that he is now engaged in the
most healthful, honorable and indie
pendent avocation.
Farmers in other counties are be.
coming interested in the improve
ment of the county roads, and sever
al mass meetings have been held to
discuss the subject We have thought
that the roads of our county have
been maintained as cheaply as those
of any other county in this section
but our system is at fault in many,
particulars. 1t is about time for us
to go on the permanent improvement
plan. That is to fix a small portion
of the roads well each year, and in a
short time all Of our roads will be in
good shape. Whenever piece OF
road has to be repaired, do it we'll.
Ellis Turner, late Town Sergeant
of Morgantown, who was recently
indicted for failing to account for
and pay over the city's funds, may
be a citizen of Fairmont, but our
best informed people do not know
his precise locality. Morgantown
and Fairmont have lately been in
terchanging a certain class Of citi-
zens, without either town being the
gamer, so that it is impossible to
keen run of our new additions. Ellis
may be one of us. If he is, the whole
some influences with which he will
be surrounded will induce him to
square up that little balance, and IL
he remains with US he will soon be-
come useful citizen.

A Salahle Commodity.

The columns Of a newspaper rep
resent cash value. No paper, can
afford to give advertising or notices
free any more than a merchant can
toss over the counter free gifts OF
dry goods or shoes. A newspaper is
legitimate business institution; its
columns are its stock in trade, and
its announcements should be paid
for, no matter in what part
of the paper they appear 1t is
no doubt, policy for newspaper to
reciprocate when courtesies in the
shape of job printing, tickets, ETC.,
are extended, but beyond that the
rule should be absolute. No pay, no
free advertising or reading notices
of any entertainments to which an
admission fee is charged

Tuning Out.

William is breathing the free air
of heaven and South Morgantown.
He was liberated from the dismal
echoing corridors of the county Jail
last Saturday. Tuning was found
guilty of unlawful retailing to sever
al young men, but petition was
circulated attesting to the fact that
he is not able to pay his fine and
that his family is public expense.
Tuning also agrees that he will get
out of the county within ten days.
Upon these conditions the court con
scented to his release and there was a
family reunion up Standard Way
that night. Tuning is yeritable
hard luck victim, and his peculiar
method of retailing was an invention
of extreme necessity. He will go
away within ten days.

Wednesday morning deep mourning
was brought to the home of Freeman
Lucas, at Taylortown, because of the
sudden death of Mr.. Lucas Tuesday
night He had been up late at
tending sugar camp. He came
home, and not wishing to disturb
his wife, laid down on a cot in the
room. In the morning Mrs. Lucas
got up, built the fire and prepared
breakfast, not wishing to disturb her
husband until the meal had been
prepared. When ready she called
him, but received no answer, and on
going to the cot to awake him, dis
covered he was cold in death. Mr..
Lucas was an excellent gentleman,
and enjoyed the respect and conf
dence of the community. He was
aged 60. His wife, and two children

An Old but Slick Swindler.

A smooth stranger has been work
ing a clever swindle on the people OF
neighboring counties, and many I'M
suspecting housewives have been
made sorry for his visits. The swind-
Ter, who is an old man, tells a pa
thetic story of being robbed by his
son and his subsequent trials, which
resulted in his being sold out by the
sheriff This little story has enabled
him to secure hundreds Of sums OF
money ranging from so cts. to three
dollars.

st Marys Oracle.

Some of our State papers are out
on a crusade against bad roads. In
Peasants county it looks as though
bad roads we're like the poor, we
shall ever have them with rs. This
will certainly be the case as long as
our roads are not graded and drained,
and even then we shall go year after
year paying for dumping mud and
clay into "chuck holes" the road bed
is made Of something more substan-
tial We venture to say there is
enough surplus vitality or power
wasted in hauling loads over bad
roads in this county to build ten
miles of good road every year.

More than a Road on Paper.

A gentleman who WAS in our office
this week, says the Waynesburg In
dependent, confirmed our statement
last week as to the road being under
contract to Davidson's Ferry, a dis
lance of 16 miles. He remarked to
us that friend in Pittsburg who is
in a position to know, told him that
the contract for grading, furnishing
ties and rails had been let. Also
that the owners of several buildings
which are in the line of the road
have been notified to remove them.
The road will not stop at Davidson s
Ferry, but will be pushed on to Nor
gantown. The construction of this
road will be a great boon to the up
per Monongahela Valley, and this
county will share the benefits that
are sure to result from the advent of
this road that has been contemplated
for more than 90 years. In addition
to rich and prosperous agricultur-
al section it will open up a rich coal
and timber field,

be taught how to give a reason for
the faith they are about to espouse.
rhey ought to know whether pro-
