This Afternoon.

The officers and members of the
grand lodge of the Sons of Hermann

opened. From now until Sunday some

will be transacted. The most import
ant matter that has come up is that
of changing the plan of insurance.
This afternoon there was a lengthy
discussion over the subject. At pres
ent the insurance plan is to assess the
members of the order in equal
amounts, regardless of age. The pro-
posed schemetis to put insurance on

cations that it will be the greatest
meeting in the Associations history.
The Morgantown people. the members
of the University, and the teachers
in the Public Schools are taking great
interest in it, and have appointed
committees to do everything possible
for the pleasure and comfort of those
who attend. Interesting things OF va
rious kinds have been planned and the
social side of the Association will be
exceptionally attractive The Unfver
sity Summer School will begin its
sixth regular session this week, and
this will, of course, attract large
number OF teachers. Educators OF
national reputation are members OF
the Summer School faculty, and some
of their lectures will be heard by
those attending the Educational AS
sOciation. 1t will be particularly
desirable time for West Virginia
teachers to visit the beautiful Univer
sity town. The Morgantown papers

the teachers at that time.

PHENOMENAL is THIS YEAR.

Snow on the anniversary day of the
battle OF LeXinet ton is one OF the
strangest sights that the eye of mortal
man is heir to. Yesterday in spite OF
the fact that all common powers OF
reasoning spring should have been
nalf done, and the first warm days OF
winter should have turned the trees
and lawns TO green the exact autlthe-
sis was the result. Cold lowering
clouds and splits of snow made 1t as
gloomy as a November or December
day.
The weather of this spring is al
most phenomenal Many OF the Older

Too Many Dogs.
est EirSinian:

Editors West VirSinian:
In parts of this county there are too
many dogs, and people have had
sheep, and yearlins cattle killed; 1t
seems, from reports. that the dogs
congregate in a pack like wolves, and
chase and kill stock for amusement
more than for something to eat.
The fad of keeping lot Of useless
ours, and other breeds, is not confined
to the country alone, but the city
folk too, keep a few CANNES just TO
look at. A good and useful dog may
be of service in country and town,
but it often occurs that too many
dogs endanger the lives of people.
as the dread disease of hydrophobia
seems to be spreading each year, TO
say nothing of feas and other YER
min incident to the dog. 1t would be
better by far, to keep only three or
four dogs. and let the rest be killed

Stalks Make Paper.

According to the experts in Wash
ington the problem of manufacturing
paper from cotton stalks has been
completely solved.
A factory at Atlanta is now turning
out paper product from this stalk
equal to the Belfast linen paper. No
attempt has yet been made to produce
the coarser and cheaper grades. but
this, it is stated. will be easy.
Representative William NJ. Howard,
of Georgia, who has been interesting
himself in the subject, is enthusiastic
over the success of the experiment.
He has been in conference with the
Agricultural Department officials, and
finds that they have been appraised
of the success Of the process and are
aware that it is being manufac tured
at other points, besides Atlanta
1t has been going on quietly. but
successfully, in each instance. They
desire, being in apprehension of com
petition. to keep the industry secret
as long as possible.
H. j. Weber, an expert of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry of the depart
ment, confirms what Mr.. Howard
stated about it. Texas members of
Congress are greatly interested
in the subject because of the practice
