1t seems desirable to provide for
this training in special manner aside
from the regular course, the expert

over IS per cent of the young men
enrolled in the agricultural and for

not usually acquired on the farm, such
as blacksmithing, carpentry, opera

and continued throughout the ensuing
four weeks. This course is intended
to train the hands properly so far as
the proper performance of ordinary
farm work is concerned. No formal
lectures were given, but each student
was shown how to properly perform
such operations as follows, under the
direction Of a competent instructor,
viz: Fitting and operation of haying
and harvestig tools and machinery,
the same being true in the case of all
implements involved in the cultivation
Of farm and horticultural crops. Each
student was required to take part in
every operation involved in farm
drainage, the same being true of
fencing In addition to this, training
was given in the feeding, care and
management of poultry, hogs, sheep,
beef cattle. dairy cattle and horses.
In fact, the student was required to
put the hand to every operation in
progress at this season of the year.
Great care was exercised in the d.

Two cases arising in Oregon, one in

through the initiative and referendum,
are before the court on writ of err

which upheld the act and the ordi-

the people.
There is more involved in the cases
than the initiative and referendum in
Oregon and Portland; the general po-

state in which the initiative and refer
endum Is in operation is involved,
either directly or indirectly.
The state of Missouri, through it's
attorney general, has interviewed and
filed a brief in defense of the initia-
tive and referendum on the ground
that the Missouri plan is identical with
that of Oregon. A brief has also been
filed by George Fred Williams, the
well-known Democratic leader of Bos-

he insists is his name, was not given
hearing yesterday at Fairmont on
the charge of killing John Kroviski,
but is still in the county Jail there.
Miller. or Lock, was arrested IN

pointed out by Redic Krovish as the
murderer of his brother. When
brought to the Fairmont Jail the man
stated that his name was John Lock

the killing that occurred at Anabelle

SIX MEMBERS
OF the House West Virginia
VIII Have Beginning
March 4, 1913.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lowest vir-
glnia will have six Representatives
In Congress, beginning the fourth OF
March, 1918. The state must be re-
distrtcted before the next election to
tonform to the requirements Of the
apportionment bill which passed the
House Thursday and will pass the
Senate without amendment.
While Messrs. Hughes and sturgiss
arc out of the city, the remaining
members of the West Virginia dele
CATION voted solidly against the meas
ure increasing the states representa-
ton. The Republican caucus had
adopted the Campbell bill which re-
tanned the present number of con-
gresham and did not effect West
virginia's representation. But under
this bill the representation of many
states was cut down and the con-
gressmen from those states put up
such a fight against being cut down
that the House by an Overwhelming
vote adopted the Crumpacker bill,
with the larger House, with no state
having reduced number of congress-
men and with some of them having a
largely increased number.

FIRST BILL
Introduced by Senator Wat.
son Relates to the City
of Parkersburg.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The first
bill introduced in the Senate by sena-
tor Clarence W. Watson was one 10
increase the cost limit for the addi-
tionaI ground which 1t is proposed
to add to the grounds around the
postoffice and court house at Park
ersburg. His bill calls for an in
crease in the cost limit of $1,413.2O.
When it was first proposed to pur-
chase the additional ground, the pur-
chase was authorized at a cost not
to exceed $4,000, which was appro-
ipriated. Then it was found that the
property could not be bought for that
amount and at the last session of
Congress an additional authorization
not to exceed $4,000 was made. This
amount has not been appropriated yet
but is contained in the sundry civil
bill now pending.
In order to ascertain the actual
value of the property, the government
had appraisers appointed and they
placed the valuation at $1,41S.2O more
than the $4,000 already authorized.
Another bill was necessary 70 pro-
vide for this and Senator Watson has
introduced 1t. He will make spec
ial effort 70 have the first bill he in
trcdnccG passed, although the time
in which to get it through is short.
