FRANKLIN IN 60oD SHAPE.
Prospects for a Big Crop This Year
Are Very Bright.

From personal observation 1 be-
lieve that Franklin county will pro-
duce this year the largest crop OF
wheat in her history" said E. c.
Bedell, travelling salesman for the Holt
Manufacturing company who is in OFF
the road for a few days. Being a
new farming district the soil is abso-
lutely virgin and farmers as yet do not
have to contend with weeds. The re-
suit is that fall wheat can be soWn at
any time convenient to the farmer
with a reasonable prospect of it COM
ing up. In the older farmed district
this cannot be done and that is the
reason that so little fall wheat was
sown this fall in Walla Walla and Co
lumbia counties.
Mr. Bedell stated this morning that
he has just returned from a trip over
Franklin county. There has been con-
siderable rain in that section this sea-
son and fall wheat is looking fine.

DIR. Denny Spoke ein Richmond
Last Friday

DR.. George II. Denny, president
of Washington and Lee University,
delivered an attractive address
before Mcclure School yesterday
morning. says the Richmond
Times-Dispatch of Saturday
Choosing 1.-THE Value of College
Education" as his subject, DR..
Denny urged upon his hearers the
high value of a broad and liberal
education to the individual, the
community and the State.
The cultivated men in any COM
munity, he declared, form nucleus
around which all movements for
higher and better things. public
and private, usually gather. Pat
riotism of the highest and most
unselfish order is nativs to the
walls OF our institutions Of liberal
learning. No narrow and selfish
am, he said, would govern young
n an in seeking = wider and higher
education. Not the desire for in
dividual advancement or personal
gain, but the nobler purpose, that
in improving his own mind and
broadening his own knowledge he
nlultiplies his capacity for serving
others. Other forms Of education
have their uses, and good uses;
not every mind is susceptible OF
the highest polish; not every boy
has the opportunity to receive the
wider education of college or uni
versity; there are many men who,
without these advantages, lead
lives of the greatest usefulness;
but after all is said. it lie the
eollege-bred man who has counted
for most in the struggle for clean
living and fair dealing in every
relation Of life. public AMI private,
business and political. No move
ment for the general good Is
without his ready sympathy and
effective support. Every noble
sentiment finds it's faithful echo
in his bosom. All things high come
easy to him. We worship success
too much, said he; success by
any method, however mean, Is still
success to most Of us. We need the
man Of ideals; the man who is
ready to spend his strength for
others: the man who, like Agassiz,
is "too busy to make money"
That man is bred In our uni
versailles.
DR.. Denny's address of ex-
traordinary character and deliver
ed with great force, made q deep
impression upon the minds CT
his hearers and will not soon be
forgotten by them.
