Rurnl Betterment Cnnferences

AS seen by the program that was
published in the Telegram there is to
be Rural Betterment Conference at
French Crew. The proposed confer.
ence Is something new in this state,
though somewhat on the order of the
farmers institute yet wider In scope
and embracing more general objects.
1t Is not confined alone to the agri-
cultural interests but has to do with
education and society, as we'll as
country business. and a number of
other things. It Is hoped that there
will be others like it and that 1t may
become permanent institution in all
the counties in West Virginia.
The objects are best explained by
the Bushes Farmer and Grange Ad-
vocate. which has familiarized itself
with the movement, and 1t gives the
Telegram much pleasure to reproduce
what that publication says on this
subject:
At French Creek on the last day of
June and the first day of July, will be
held the Upshur County Rural Bet
terment Conference.-The first meeting
of the kind to be held in West Vlr-
ginia. Perhaps nothing jut like II
has ever been held anywhere. B
AT bottom, this conference has for
Its purpose to arrive at an under
standing of the Problem of Progress
as it exists in the country at the pres
ent time. OF course the Problem OF
Progress is a city problem as we'll as
country problem. but as this confer
ence is planned by the Agricultural
Extension Department of our College,
there is no sufficient reason why II
should consider matters that pertain
particularly to the cities.
Every subject which will be dis
cussed at French Creek will be pre-
scented in its relation to rural better
ment, and the improvement of social
and educational opportunities in the
country is to be at the heart of every
address. When we come to know the
truth we realize that the country
school and the country church exist
to serve the country. Yet, when we
consider these two institutions, we are
only at the beginning. The College
OF Agriculture. the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, the State Board of
Agriculture, the Department of Free
Schools. the Normal Schools and the
State University. all of these have a
mission of service to the people Of
the country.
But the end is not yet. Newspapers.
banks. and courts are established for
the benefit of the country people as
well as for the benefit of city people.
And when capable men undertake to
set forth tn relations OF all of these
agencies of progress to country life,
We may look for some good thinking
that will be productive of real en-
lightment. The long list of repre-
sentative names on the program of
the Upshur County Rural Betterment
Conference is an assurance that the
meeting will be of great interest and
OF lasting benefit.

The Tin Pinto Comnnnr


Below is an extract from a mag
nificent volume, just published, by the
Pittsburg-Gazette Times. entitled,
The Story of Pittsburg." Inas-
much as the officers of the Phillips
Sheet & Tin Plate Company, of this
city are from Pittsburg, space in this
book was awarded to the company
here. 1t is probably the handsomest
publication of the kind ever made,
and it gives the Telegram extreme
pleasure to reproduce the following
concerning Clarksburgs foremost IN
dustry:
In Clarksburg, West Virginia, the
largest industry is that of the Phillips
Sheet & Tin Plate Company.
Established in April, 1905, in less
than three years this well managed
company has grown so rapidly, so
substantially that it has obtained ma
tional recognition. The enterprise
was originally capitalized at $780,
600 but despite the brief time that
has elapsed, the present value and
volume of the business are outlined in
the statement that the annual sales II
the company now amount to more
than $2,200,000.
The well built works Of the COM
pany are an eXemplification of the
latest and best American ways and
means of manufacturing tin plate and
kindred products. The plant at
Clarksburg turns out most advant-
ageously. not only the best quality of
tin plate. but terne roofing. enamel
ing material. galvanlzing stock and
all grades of uncoated plates.
In the last year the company pro-
duced over 100000 boxes of tin plate,
quantity sufficient to make more
than 100000 ordinary sized cans.

entirely for roofing purposes, partly
in the manufacture OF metal shingles,

preme court handed down an opinion
OF great importance TO the owners Of
forest land In that state. and Of Inter-
country -
the cutting. OF small timber which
should be left growing TO give a for
est cover which win conserve the
water and lessen food ravages and
prevent or diminish soil erosion and
consequent filing up the rivers and
lakes. The Judges specifically state
that regulations Of that kind cannot
be construed as the taking Of private
property for public use, and that the
state need not pay for young growth
which 1t may forbid the owner to
cut.
This was not a court decision, for
no case was before the court for re-
view. but was a formal opinion pre-
pared at the request Of the senate for
the guidance of the legislature in. the
enactment of laws to regulate forests
and protect the interests of the pub
lie. Similar questions have come up
In other states and may be expected
TO come up in the future.
In the proposition which the Maine
senate submitted to the judges for
their opinion It was stipulated that a
law should not be enacted which
would interfere with clearing land for
agricultural. mining or manufactur-
Ing purposes. or for building sites or
pleasure grounds. The purpose is to
forbid the total stripping of forest
| land where a forest cover is neces-
sary to prevent the wash of the
soil, the lessening OF flood ravages.
and the mitigation of drought. and
where the public requires that such
cover be preserved.
In submitting their opinion the
Judges cited numerous examples of
legislation restraining --property-hold-
ers from using their property in such
a way as to endanger the public well
fare. A man may not erect dan
gerous building on his city lot be-
cause 1t would imperil or damage the
property of others. For the same
reason, forest owner may be re-
strained from denuding his hillsides
10 such degree as to send down up
on the lands of his neighbor the soil
wash to cover their meadows, choke
| their streams. and injure them in
their rlghtful use and enjoyment Of
property. 1t was declared that there
Is nothing in the constitution OF the
United States or in that OF the state
Of Maine prohibiting the enforce
ment of forest law of that kind.
Names greatest wealth Is in its
forests-directly or indirectly. In
several ways it has been a pioneer in
forest legislation and management
It is one of the few states. probably
the only state-whose forests are
nearly holding their own. Lumber
ing has gone on there for long time.
and every year there is something
ready to cut. The folly of stripping
land and leaving It defenseless against
erosion is well understood in Maine,
and the legislature has taken the pre-
liminary steps toward a law to COM
pei unwilling forest land owners to
leave enough small timber and brush
on the ground to cover it.

Chicago News Says JOnnson's Boom

Other Compliments

Sank Centre is in the spotlight
cIany eyes are turned in this direc-
| ton.
Many things have been said OF late
of this fine little city.
The location Of the girls industrial
school here caused much comment
and many complimentary things were
said about the city and the people
who live in it.
The latest complimentary mention

which, in discussing the John A. John
son presidential boom, remarks:
1T win be difficult for Johnson to
preach his doctrine throughout Inc
country if he starts from the shadow
of Wall street. If he had been w
to the game he would have started
at Sank Centre and let it spread
east and west from that point.
The Chicago paper is not the only
| sheet that has been passing fragrant
nosegays this way. The St. Cloud
Times last Saturday, in an editorial
utterance, handed the following bou.
quet Sank Centreward:
By the financial statement of
the clerk of that city. we notice
that Sank Centres financial con-
dition puts the county seat badly
in the shade. It's bonded indebt-
edness is only $4,000. The last
water works bond has been paid
off and there is a balance on
hand in the city treasury OF ST.
40O.69. Every one of the several
funds has a good balance on hand,
as for instance $2.66364 in the
general fund, and $3,2S7.72 in the
water works maintenance fund.
Of course, its expenditures are
small compared with St. Cloud,
but it's receipts are correspond
ingly limited, the total for the
past year in the general fund be-
ing $13,170.13, and disbursements
in same S11,149.95.
Certainly '.Franklin County's"

record. Economy, good judgment
and sound business principles has

ner When it reached the lake it ran
out upon the ice, whirled around sew
eral times, snapped and snarled and
then ran up the lake. 1t bit one dog
in the city and the authorities at once
caused that canine to be chained up
in shed until it can be determined
whether it is affected by the bite.
