A MUCH NEEDED SCHOOL.

President James J. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad said few
days ago that the greatest need of
this country is agricultural schools.
He said, if he could, he would estab-
!ish SO many of them that no person
in any state would need to go with
out the instruction they give in how
to get the best results from the land.
With the soil in this country pro-
ducins steadily decreasing returns,
the minds of so many thoughtful men
have been looking forward with anx-
iety to the time when the products
of the farm may reach prices which
viii make the cost of living for those
who toll in the city unsurpportable.
A country cannot go on wearing out
the land by which it is sustained.
The old slipshod methods of farming
must be changed and the occupation

FUTURE OF ROOSEVELT
MAY Be PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE m
1912.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE un-
founded rumors of the death of for
mer President Roosevelt is causing
some comment in the eastern press
on the future of this very lively for
mer President. Some send him to
the Senate to succeed Depew. while
Others continue him in private life,
watching over the country with a
fltherly eye, one day spanking the
sufragettes, another espousing the
cause of negro social equality, al
ways stirring things up by speaking
out about most everybody and most
everything, especially when misin-
formed.
The New York Tribune today
prints a story which may not cause
the best feeling among the second
term Taftites. 1t says:
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends
deprecate the idea that he will not
again be candidate for the presi-
dency. They say his loyalty to
President Taft would prevent his be-
ing a candidate for the nomination
in 1919, but that in 1916 he will be
only fifty-eight years old, and that,
considering his natural vigor and en-
ergy, it is by no means impossible
that he'll be important factor in the
national convention of that year, al
though they admit that is looking a
long way ahead. There are, indeed,
a few of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends who
suggest that Mr.. Taft will prove so
poor politician, quite apart from
the sort of administration he may
give the country, that before the
convention of 1919 it viii have be-
come obvious that he cannot again be
elected, that in event of such an
emergency Mr.. Roosevelt could prob
ably be induced to accept the nomi-
nation, especially if the first ballot in
the convention showed that Taft S
nomination was an impossibilIty.''

AN EARNEST APPEAL

R. D. Roller; D. D., v. Pres't. /;
Hon. H. G. Davis, Rev. T. c. John

sup't.
The above Society was organized
in 1896 for the care and training of
the orphan and homeless children of
West Virginia.
Shortly after organization Hon. H.
G. Davis, the great friendiof West
Virginia orphans, gave the Society a
home for the unfortunate little ones,
which is located in Charleston, W.
Va, supplementing this generous
gift by the yet more helpful donation
of 500 per month since 1896. To
this first building Mr.. Davis has ad-
ded a two-story building, thus greatly
increasing our capacity for caring for
orphan children.
Into this home we receive the
homeless children, being admitted at
the rate of 6, s, and sometimes 10
per month, until we have now an ag-
gregate of about 500 under our super
vision in the Home, and in the gen
erous families of the State. But we
are now going through a protracted
scourage of scarlet fever in our chill
dren's home, The Davis child's
Shelter entailing upon US an enor-
nous monthly expense, besides the
erection of a hospital building. We,
therefore, earnestly plead with our
friends all over the State to help us
in this our time of greatest need by
sending a Thanksgiving Donation,
by check or Post Money Order to
the Superintendent, n. 0. Sewers,
119S Washington Street, Charleston,
W. Va. We also appeal to our pas
tors to call for collection at their
Thanksgiving services. This is a
most urgent necessity for a most
worthy cause. We know not how
long this scourge will prevail, and
wish to gather in good Thanksgiy.

WHAT THE MODERN GIRL KNOWS OF
DOMESTIC MATTERS.

An interesting examination was
held recently in a Massachusetts
high school. Twenty-six girls,
members of the same class, we're
given list of thirty questions. Those
questions bore reference to girls
knoledge of household duties and the
answersproved decidedly entertaining
Twelve of the twenty-six said they
could make bread, eighteen could
make cake and all could make candy.
Twenty-Five girls had built kitchen
FIRE, twenty asserted that they had
prepared full meal. 1t is disap-
pointing to learn that not one girl Of
the entire twenty-six knew why new
bread is not a healthy article of food,
nor could twenty-four of them tell
what a trap to sink is. TIE max
ing of starch was understood by
twenty of the class, and sixteen said
they could iron their collars and cuffs.
Twenty girls could mend their clothes
at least that is what they claimed,
and seventeen had made shirtwAists.
Seven of the seventeen had made
but one shirtwaist but there was one
girl in the class who had made fifty.
When it came to trimming hats there
were thirteen girls who knew how,
and thirteen who did not know and
had not tried to learn.

SHOW IT TO YOUR REPUBLICAN
NEIGHBOR.

In the making of a tariff law, one
would naturally suppose that those
least able to bear the burdens of
taxation would not be Disseminated
against in favor of those best able to
pay the tax involved in any tariff levy.
But what are the factss
The man who imports $1,000 worth
of diamonds pays tax of but 500
10 per cent. If he imported
thousand shirts worth a dollar each
he would have to leave at the customs
house and tack. on to his selling
prices s6ol.6o-6o.I6 per cent.
Ifhe decided that he would bring
IN 81, 900 worth of champagne, one of
the articles upon which there is
large increase, the tax levied by the
tariff is $500. Gfhe brought in 81 900
worth of blankets he would pay
tariff tax ofsI.645.4e.
Ifhe brought in 81 900 worth of
paintings and statuarv, all he would
have to pay as customs duties would
be 5000, but # it were sugar he
would pay s7sS.7o tax on $1,000
worth.
Ifhe brought in 1000 worth of
jewelry he would have to pay 5000
tariff tax, but if he brought in 81 900
worth of wool dress goods he would
pay sl.o5o.95 tariff.
Ifhe imported S., 900 automobile
the tariff takers would relieve him Of
$3.50. fit were $4,000 worth of
yarns the tariff tax would be 500
If the importation were $4,000
worth of fus the tariff tax would be
sl.65o but if it were $4,000 worth
of clothing that tax would be 81, $50.
If some New York millionaire
brings in 100000 Ocean-going
yacht the tariff woull be Ss5, 900,
but if the importation were stockings
the tariff collected would be SS7 $50.

IS AN INSULT.

The letter the Governor is said to
have sent to all members of the leg
stature asking how they would vote
on certain pet measures of his, if
called into special session, is an in
suit to every member of the Legisla-
ture, and it would not be surprising
if some of the replies are pretty for
chile. What the views of the legis-
latures are upon any particular meas
ure IS no concern of the Governors.
If he thinks law should be passed
it is his duty to recommend it. But
his authority stops there. He is not
responsible for the action of the leg
islature and the members of that
body are responsible only to their
constituents and not to him. The eff
fort to pledge the members to indie
finite policies, not even, as yet, COM
mitted to writing, is unworthy of a
Governor who knows his rights and
his duties and respects those of the
other branches of the state govern
ment.-Parkersburs Sentinel.

A CHANCE on The TURKEY.

Harvard scientists, who are forever
discovering something to make the
world feel sorry for itself, having
just dug up a little Thanksgiving
discovery. Harvard scientists be-
lieve in doing strictly in season and
waited until shortly before Thanks
giving day to announce to the world
that the turkeys Of the New England
states are victims of appendicitis.
They may all be wiped out by this
fell disease before they are ready for
the market.
Now, of course, appendicitis is
high toned disease and the turkey is
high toned bird, costing IS cents
pound in the market. Nothing
could be more appropriate than that
the turkey shouh acquire the aiIment
aSclioed to him. 1t may be better
way of getting intosociety than wait
ing for Thanksgiving day and getting
iato good society in the old fashioned
way, after being stuffed with oyster
dressing. But it is hoped that the
scientists may be wrong. The fact
that they are more apt to be wrong
than right lends, optimism to the sit
uation and there is some hope. Any
how, when the ultimate consumer
gets his Thanksgiving turkey, if he
gets one, he will not stop, to ponder
over the possibility that the bird has
been an appendicitis hero. All tur-
keys look alike when they come
from the market and the man who
stops to ask too many questions in
this world is bouad to be more or less
unhar y and dissatisfied. The Har-
ward scientists may pass up turkey
this year, bus the general public will
not.
