There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction among oxford people with
the changes which the inuX of for
eigners under the conditions of the
Cecil Rhodes will has made in that
university. The complaint is directed
not so much toward Americans as to-
ward Oriental, African, Egyptian and
japanese lstudents-in fact, toward
those of other races. One complain
ant doubts whether the white foreign
ers have done Oxford any good, but of
the fact that other strangers have
brought it i'll he is certain. The main
thing in Oxford is its social life, he
says, and the men who go there are
nodded in the university's own unique
fashion. But the strangers of other
races are not accepted into the life of
the university; they are not i'll treat.

the fact that there is no hot campaign

all powers of government are
either delegated or assumed, that
all powers not delegated are as
sumed, and that all assumed pow
ers are usurpations. The powers
Of government by man over wom-

cause the women never delegated
such powers to men. Such pow
ers by men, then, are assumed,
and as all assumed powers are
usurpations, the exercise of the
powers, of government by men
over women is usurpation. How

The Ideal Location.

Last week we published a news
item concerning the Pythian
Home. 1t seems to us that the
establishment of this Home here
in Belington would be a great
benefit to all citizens of the town.
In the first place, it would give
employment to a great many Of
our mechanics, and stimulate bus
mess to no little extent. In the
second place it would help to
fasten Belington more prominent
ly on the map, and be a factor,
in securing other buildings and
businesses, such as Belington is
entitled to and ought to have.
There are number of nearby
farms which can be bought at
very reasonable prices. Some of
these farms are underlaid with
the best ofcoal, as yet unsold, and
in time would be an investment
to the Pythian Order which will
more than pay the initial cost.
Here is a delightful climate
unsurpassed but by few in the
United States, and take into con-
sideration the beauty and gran
dure of the hills and mountain,
Belington is truly the ideal place.
Railroad facilities, freight rates
in and out, natural location, future
possibilities, are uneXcelled.
Let every man, woman and
child take a keen interest in well
coming this new Home in Being
ton. The Home should be here
as the benefits will be mutual.

the College of Agriculture except in
cases where the contestants enter the
contest for production; in that event,
they furnish their own seed corn. In
few counties, where sufficient inter
est is manifested, girls garden and
canning contests are being promoted;
for these contests, tomato seed is like
wise furnished.
The object of these girls garden
and canning clubs may be summed up
in the following: To stimulate the in

means by which the girl may earn

get the education and viewpoint nee
essary for the ideal farm life; to en-
courage the rural families to provide
purer and better food at a lower cost
and to utilize the surplus and other
wise waste products of the garden and
orchard; to furnish earnest teachers a
plan for aiding their pupils and help
ing their communities.
The results already apparent from
these clubs are sufficient for West
Virginia, that club leaders, county SUI
perintendents, teachers and others in
terested in promoting agricultural and
rural home interests should lose NO
opportunity to have club exhibits and
interests recognized effectively at
county district fairs, farmers insti

Easter Sunday, March q.

Easter Sunday for 1918 will
happen on March %. A writer
in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
says: Easter bonnets will bios
som earlier this year than they
have since 1856 and earlier than
they will blossom for another
century. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March
22, but that hasn't happened
since 1918. This year it will be
March %, the same date on which
it fell in 1856 ond 1916. The Rev.
Father Martain S. Brennan, a
noted st. Louis astronomer, told
a Post-Dispatch reporter that
tables computed by mathemati-
clans have not been carried far
enough to show just how long it
will be before Easter again falls
on SO early a date, but that it will
not occur until some time after
the year 1000. The rule for fix
ing the date of Easter originally
was that it was the Sunday after
the first full moon following the
spring equinox. The equinox
falls on March Fl. According to
ruling of the counil at Nice, if
March q is Saturday and there
is a full moon on that day, the
following day will be Easter. This
year March Fl will be Friday and
there will be a full moon Satur-
day.

largely by the nature of the work done
by them.
Probably the first we'll organized
contest for boys and girls in West Vir-
ginia was conducted in Monore coun-
ty in 1907. Since that time, the work
done by the boys and girls has attract
ed the attention of farmers, educators,
and business men throughout the
state. In 1911 there were IL counties
that had corn growing contests 1900
boys and girls took up this work and
competed for special honors or awards.
During the year 1912 there were 80
counties of the state that took up the
club work There were $500 contest
ants in these 80 counties. While the
greater number were interested in
growing corn, there were 100 girls
who grew tomatoes for the contest.
There were also so boys who entered
the half-acre production contest and
grew corn.
The clubs are conducted on a we'll
organized basis, being one of the va
rious lines of work done by the Elk
tension Division of the College of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, to extend
its benefits to the young people of the
state and to interest them in farm and
home life by practical courses OF
study, effective organization, and a
form of competitive contest.
The club work is not contest in
corn or tomato growing where each
one who enters is left to prepare,
plant, fertilize and cultivate in his own
way. The plan of the organization is
to instruct, to direct, to guide and to
train. The circular of instructions
sent to each contestant covers the
fundamental principles of goed farm
ing and urges the members to keep
farm accounts. Efforts are made to
have each boy and girl receive atten-
ton and instruction on his own acre
or the acre of neighbor boy.
A boy or girl takes pride in owner
ship and will learn more agriculture
and gain more knowledge of the bust
ness side of farming on his own acre
than from his fathers many acres
The corn club work is an important
factor in the economy of the farm in
directing the rural boys to the bust
ness of farming as profitable and
noble profession. The way in which
the club work takes hold of boy is
well shown in Fig. /, and from this
enthusiasm greater interest in farm
life may develop. We need the boys
for the present efficiency Of the farm
and we must have their work, their
leadership and their influence for the
future of American agriculture.

The Silent Partner.

1t seems to me a deplorable
fact that SO many married women
do not live up to the standard of
partnership they profess. If they
are partners at all in the matri-
monial business, it is the silent"
kind.
Ny husband is a harnessmaker,
and / am his only partner. Every
evening we go over the accounts
in a systematic manner. 1t is
surprising how soon one grows to
enjoy this; now I had to soon as
sist in selecting his goods as shop
in fancy goods store. Why p?
Because whatever interests him
appeals to me.
1t is a real inspiration to nearly
every man to possess a live part
ner-one who takes an active in
terest in whatever concerns him;
to whom he can turn in times Of
impending or actual distress; and
whose influence helps him to put
forward his best efforts. If there
were fewer silent partners, !"

The club activities have already in
many instances exercised a very
stimulating effect upon the ordinary
work of the school as well as on the
farm and In the home of the mem
BERG. The knowledge gained from
these clubs has demonstrated that the
neutral love of competition among
boys and girls, as well as their elders,
can be utilized to immense advantage
in furthering their own education for
efficiency.
The influence of the community at
large, the parents as well as the chill
dren, has been wholesome. Beginning
with an awakened interest in one
thing, better seed corn for example,
communities have rapidly extended
their interest to other features of
rural improvements with the result
that in the region affected by the agri-
cultural club movement, there has
come about general upward trend in
the thoughts and activities of the PEG
pie.
