The regents if the state Normal
Schools are in session at Clarksburg.
They are meeting TO determine about
the rebuilding Of the Shepherdstown
Normal which burned to the ground a
few weeks ago. Prof. Waitman
Barbe Of this place is a member of
the board and is meeting with them.
Harvey Harmer Is another man well
known in Morgantown who belongs
to the board. Col Robert Carr is an
other. and Prof T. c. Miller is ex-of-
flcio member.
1t is altogether probable that finer
building than the one destroyed will
be put in its place. The state cannot
afford to take any backward steps In
replacing its old buildings with ones
that are not better than the buildings
which are lost.
Nothing more has been heard Of the
plan for the removal of the lnstitu-
tion from Shepherdstown to Martins
burg and it is now thought that there
never was anything substantial in the
agitation
Prof. Thos. e. Hodges Of the Uni
versity is also in Clarksburg to attend
this meeting. He represents the Uni
yersity and will meet with the board
in order TO harmonic some of the
things that have arisen In the attempt
made TO adopt q course of study in
the Nofmals leading directly into the
University classe.. This plan has
been working for some time and it
has been found to be very good one.
1t is to be extended to other schools
also over the state and ultimately it
is hoped to have them all united in
the work of education-so that stu
dent may pass from one to another
without break or Interruption.
The spring quarter of the Universi-
ty will open on April first and the in
dications are that there will DE fine
attendance. There are a number of
young people already in Morgantown
to enter the different classes. The
convocation will be held on April 2nd
and there will be Il large class gradu-
ated. Their names have already been
given by this paper.

UNIVERSITY GRADUATE
Has been Investigating Insanity
in Philippines

I
Among the American Troops The re-
suits of His Investigations ilr. Doyle
has Reported-ile formerly praeticed
here-Goyernor Atkinson to be taken
care of.
WASHINGTON, March %. doctor
Charles Il. Doyle, West Virginia boy
at present serving as surgeon in the
United States army, returned to this
city from the Philippines where he
was sent by the surgeon general to in
vestigate the causes Of insanity among
the soldiers. In speaking Of his trip
with your correspondent, he said:
| found that the number of cases
of insanity had been greatly exagger-
ated, and that out OF the entire mill
tary force in the island there were
about % cases each month, which is
not above the general average The
majority OF those who become men
tally unbalanced while on duty in the
Philippines are afflicted with mild
form of insanity such as melancholia
and other types easily cured. In a
majority OF cases the cause OF trouble
is disappointment. Many of the
young men who enlisted for service in
the orient were moved to dreams Of
pomp and glory and hopes Of promo
ton. Instead OF employment on the
firing line many OF them were assign
ed and kept on duty in the small
towns. surrounded with hostile ma
tiyes and cut off from the society of
their fellow soldiers. This made
them low spirited and melancholia
naturally followed. The irregularty
OF the mails is a fruitful cause of de-
preston among the men in the Phil
ippines. Young soldiers brood because
they do not hear from their family
or friends at home. A trip home or
removal TO other brighter scenes gem
orally has an excellent effect upon
such sufferers
Upon making his report TO the sur
geon general, Captain Doyle will leave
for San Francisco, to assist In the
mastering out of the volunteer troops.
Captain Doyle is graduate of the
state university and after graduating
practiced for short time In Morgan
town. He first entered the army as
contract surgeon but for his efficient
service was given commission as a
surgeon ia the line.
1t is stated on high authority that
If Gov. Atkinson falls down on his
appointment as Judge for the new dis
trict, he will be given something
equally as good. The commissioner
ship of the general land Office would
suit him, and it is understood rhathe
is looking into the duties. and most
of all, the emoluments of the office.
The present incumbent, Binger
Hermann, of Oregon, is not at all in
accord with Secretary Of the Interior
Hitchcock, and there has been con-
siderable friction between Hermann
and Hitchcock. This friction dates
back, it is said, several months.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
appointment is usually given to a
western man, ii the right influence is
brought to bear Atkinson can land the
job, provided, however, he does not
secure the much coveted judgeship.

Future Prices.

We are asked how long present pay
ing prices for farm products will be
likely to continue. Prices for what the
farmer raises and has to sell are based
wholly upon the demand for such pro-
duce; this demand comes partially
from other lands and mostly from the
nonproducers Of our own country Good
prices imply ability of the consumer
to buy, and he is able to buy only as
he is sure of steady and profitable en-
ployment. Just so long as mine. fac
tory and railway are running on full
time and paying good wages to en-
ployes just so long will the farmer re-
ceive good prices for what he has to
sell If the country is wise enough to
avoid rushing into a period Of crazy
speculation and inflated values-just
keeps up the present steady and pros
porous gait-there is no prospect of
any marked decline from present prices
of farm produce.

are constantly liable to defeat mans
best work in the effort to raise crop
an uncertain and deficient rainfall
and the hot winds from the southwest,
to which may be added incidentally a
greater liability to loss by hail than in
any other section of the country. The
soil is exceedingly fertile and respon-
sive. but the drawbacks referred to are
a normal attribute of that section and
such as will never be modified or re-
moved by settlement and the cultiva-
ton of the soil. This country is one
OF the best sheep sections in the United
States. 1t is also a good cattle country,
and fine horses can be raised there.
value of these lands must therefore be
based upon what they may be worth
for these purposes, bearing in mind
the fact that if one acre will pasture a
COW in the luxuriant blue grass mead
ows of Iowa ii will take good deal
more than one acre to keep the same
COW in the territory mentioned. We
canno. undertake to say what such
lands are worth for these stock grow
ing purposes further than to say that
an acre of blue grass in Iowa or llli-
nois is worth not less than $50 as pas
ture land. 1t should be said that there
will come seasons, like the present one.
when the rainfall will be ample and
when splendid crops of all the cereals
may be raised, As will be done this
year, and it is possible that improved
methods of cultivating the soil will be
discovered and adopted whereby the
moisture and rainfall will be better
conserved, but the ample rainfall is
the exception, and it is pretty hard to
conserve moisture when there is none
to conserve. Summing up, we would
say if such lands are bought it should
be on their value as stock ranges and
not as grain producing lands.

How Many HoursP

We are asked how many hours work
day farmer has right to demand
of his hired men. That depends. Ten
hours make a pretty big days work
If fellow attends right to business,
Twelve hours will be expected in most
cases, and from IA 70 I6 hours will be
squeezed out of fellow by some men
If the hired man doesn't kick. We
know of one very successful farmer
who runs his farm on the ten hour
plan, this time to include the doing OF
chores as well as the work in the field.
It is only rarely that this rule is brok
en-, and no one man keeps his farm
work up in better shape than he Zen
hours are enough for the teams and
enough for the men. With all the I'M
proved facilities for doing farm work
the ten hour day is coming for the
farm, just as it obtains in other lines
of work

Longitude 100 Degrees West.

as to the wisdom of investing in cheap

longitude 100 degrees west and latitude
from AZ to IS north. II we correctly
understand the topography, rainfall
and climatic conditions Of the territory
referred to-and We think that we do,
for we have examined the land and the
conditions personally-we are firmly
of the opinion that agriculture--the
growing OF the common cereal crops OF
the country and its srasses and roots
as practiced in all the older settled
portions of the country IS not, taking
series Of years, a safe business propo-
sition. The country has its uses but
they are not in the line Indicated.
