Flies on Low Level

Bleriot's record-makins lap was accom-

The Ohio County Union of the
American Sociey of Equity met in re-
gular session at the courthouse last
Friday and by strensous effort on the
part of the delegates and officers the
business of the association was COM
pleted in one day. This is the first
time in the history of the society,
in Ohio county that such a record has
been made. The principal part OF the
business of the association was tran
sacted while meeting in executive
session, none except equity people
being present.
The most important item of bust
ness transacted at the meeting was
the adoption of resolution provid-
ing that the tobacco acreage and pool
ing pledges be corrected, copied and
sent to the County Secretary on or
before July 10th. 1t was the sense
of the delegates present that the reso-
luton passed ae the last regular con-
vention prohibited anyone who had
not become 4 member in good stand
ing by July LIST from signing the
pooling pledge. So in accordance witt
this Interpretation of the resolution
no one will be permitted to sign the
pledge who had not paid his dues for

association reported that splendid sue
cess had been made in the handling
of livestock through the pool as per.
fected at previous meetings of tn,
county union. Steps were taken tC
provide a more perfect arrangement
for the handling of stock and it is
now believed that considerable money
will be saved to farmers who sell thei

Believing that all men were Gre

acres in any way changes that which
the Creator has made and as the

basis of representation in the AS. of

Tobacco Growers association that we
will accept their offer of a truce if
the number of poolers be fixed as a
basis of representation instead of the
number of acres or the quantity of to-
bacco.

At the close of the executive ses-

Equity late Thursday evening 1t was
announced that j. w. Dunn had re-

What a College Girl Can Do.

The college girl who lives in small
town has perhaps the greatest power
for influence. Her education and ex
perience raise her to Il position which
commands the respect Of those others
who have not had her advantages. and
this position she should use, not as an
excuse for egotism or self sufficiency,
but as a means OF accomplishing re-
forms in the life of the community.
Starting a village Improvement society
Is an excellent way of interesting -peo
pie in their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world-a
world which teaches that the useful IS
not necessarily the ugly and that en-
vironment is the inspiration of action.
Beautifying the village or town is
bound to bring the citizens together
in a new and more intimate associa-
ton and does much to abolish those
dens Of vice which disfgure not only
the aspect, but the moral life of q
town.
Of course this is but one phase of
civic Improvement; there are many
others. In the factory town especially
there is a wide scope for the college
bred woman's activity. There is no
reason why the factory town should
be unsightly or why the employees Of
the factory should live Ia ugly, III
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women Of the town Should not be
reused to interest In their surround
lngs and, above all. to self respect.
The woman Of education owes it to
her less fortunate sister to encourage
that feeling Of self respect which lies
dormant in the breasts Of so many fac
tory women. Give them the vision OF
something broader ard higher than
is comprehended IN their own horizon
and they will try to conform their
lives to 1t.

JOY Of a YaWn.

When life seems more than usually
insipid-and such moments do come to
even the most hopeful Of us-there is
sudden pleasant sympathy in the
yawn Of the terrier on the rug before
the fire. "Ah, you, too, find things a
little boring, old fellow" we say to
ourselves. A dog yawns nobly, max
ing no attempt at Disgusting it with
politely uplifted paw. All animals
seem to enjoy yawn except man.
We once saw the late lamented hip
popotamus at the ECO lift himself slow
ly from his mIrky pond and yawn. 1t
was a great spectacle, tremendous, Ho-
merle. The concentrated boredom Of
the whole creation seemed expressed
in that gigantic gasp. For few fas-
cjnated moments pond, shed, ratings.

we thought as we came away, to be
able to yawn like that when life be-
comes too silly!-Pall Mall Gazette.

Get Out of Doors,

Trudeau's classic experiment points
US in the right direction. After inoc-
ulating a number Of rabbits with tu-
berculosis he confined a number or
them indoors and turned the others
outdoors. The latter all recovered,
while the former all died. This cXper-
iment shows that rabbit living upon
its natural food and under a natural
environment is proof against tubercu-
losis. There Is abundant reason to be-
lieve this equally true OF man. In
other words. tuberculosis IS not Il nee
essary evil Of human life, but Is nat
ural consequence of erroneous haDlts
and departure from natural conditions.

The COLLEGES of Oxford.

Each college is built round q quad
rangle with large entrance gateway
which often rises into a quasi tower.
The rooms Immediately over the gate
way are invariably designed for the
residence Of the warden, provost OF
principal of the college, so that the eye
of the master may be over all who en-
ter or leave the place. This mode Of
building still exists in India, having
been introduced into Europe by the
Moors when they conquered Spain,
where we find that the compound, or
quad, is still used for the lettering of
all kinds Of animals. Around the quad
are arranged the chapel, library, hall
or refectory, presidents lodgings, but
terry and kitchen. The students rooms
generally occupy the upper floors.
William Of Wickham, the celebrated
architect, wisely placed his taller build
ings-the chapel and hall-on the north
side to keep off the cold winds, the
lower buildings on the south more free
ly admitting sunshine.
