Para comprender la raz0n de seme-
ante estado de cosas, es necesariO dar-
sc cuenta de que esta poblaci0n blanca
de la Virginia es una de las mas saliva

Cuando la mano de obra negra fu6
importada en- 1919, los ocupantes de
aqueIla epoca huyeron ante la concu-
rrencia, refugiandose en- las mOntanas.
En- su mayorla, los fugitivOs eran ru-

The Merry Milk Maids.

The Beautiful Opperetta 1.-The
Merry Milk Maids" played by the
choir and friends of the Congrcga-
tional Church will be reproduced
at IIolyoke on Friday night Dec
cmber 9th. The people of Holyokc
are making arrangements to have
production that they have had for
any of their entertainments this
winter and the way the company
is practicing we have no doubt that
the entertainment will be one of
the best ever given in our neigh
boring town.

From the Columbus Nebraska
Tribune.

When Sam Rickiy moved to Colorado
six years ago he was the only democrat
ic voter in precinct of Sedgwick
county. That is a matter of written his
tory, because the poll books show it.
Now there are several democratic and
only one republican voter in the pre-
cinct. That is another matter of his
tory, recorded at the general election
last week. Mr.. Rickly is a modest man
too modest to claim credit for the
gratifying change of political senti-
ment in his home precinct, but is nat
ural that he should be juhilant over the
democratic gain out home when he
struck Columbus last Friday. He tcld
his friends, and OF once they recogniZ-
ed that Sam Rickly had been preching
democracy to greater extent than his
modesty permitted him to admit. But
making democrats is not the only oc
cupation to which &r. Rickly has turn
ed his hand in Scdgwick county. He has
become successful dry farmer. He re-
ports elegant crops in histerritory last
season. Wheat went Az to 60 bushels
per acre; corn, % to As bushels; millet
40 bushels. On his own farm he raised
potatoes weighing as much as four and
onehalf pounds each. Twenty-Five pota
toes of average size filled a bushel
measure. Mr.. Rickly has little patience
for the farmer in that portion of Colo
rado who does not make a success He
declares that failure is due wholly to in
competence or ignorance of the farmer
- not to any fault of the country.

For The Northeastern Colorado
Boys

The people or Sterling are making
splendid pre- parations for the biggest
and best Older Boys Conference ever
conducted in this Section. This is the
Third Annual Conference. conducted
under the au- -pces of the State Y NJ.
c. A.. and will begin Friday evering.
Dec. 9Th, and last thruout Sunday.
Most people are familiar with the
plan of these conferences, and have
a knowledge Of the great benefits
which have been brought back by de-
legates in former years. Many a.
young fellow has had his eyes opened
to great opportunities and responsible
ties of life.
The boys are entertained while at
Sterling. and each delegate pays a re-
gistration fee Of 80 cents to help defray
the expenses. The usual rate ofa fare
and third will undoubtedly be in
effect on the railroads.
The program should be of unusual
interest, owing to the fact that
Mr.. Arthur n. Cotton. International
High School Boys Secretary. of New
York City. has been secured as one of
the principal speakers. Mr., Cotton
has been in the Y. NJ. G. A work
among young men and boys almost
since his high school age; is a graduate
of the Springfield Training School; and
is splenddly fitted for the important
position he now occupies. Never be-
fore has man of his type been Sc
cured for this sectional conferences.
1t is the hope of the people of Sterl-
ing that as many High Schools. Boys
Clubs. Boy Scout Movements. Bible
Glasses, and other organizations, as
possible. will send representatives.
The usual Saturday aftereoon re-
creation features and Banquet in hon
or of the delegates VIII be provided.
Now, boys. if you are wide awake. get
together and take in this conference.
1t is strongly urged that an adult lead
er accompany each delegation, as oX-
perience has proven this to be the most
satisfactory arrangement from every
point of view. the boys included,

We believe that every week of the
year a farmer will find in the COL
umns of The Iowa Homestead some
hint or bit of practical experience
that will help him to be better
farmer and to make more money
from the farm Its advice on poul-
try raising is given by men and
women who know how to make
chickens, turkeys and ducks bring in
more clear profits than any other
division of the farm. They are
farmers who work under the same
as other farmers, so their
experience must be of value to all.
The Homestead is said to have
larger circulation than any weekly
farm paper in the world. We club
with it at the rate of $3.50 per year
for both papers.
