Here VIII Be Made by the
College of Agriculture
at Morgantown.

MoRGANTowN, July What is
that tall round thing with the hoops
on at. standing over there in the cor
ner'? said a visitor recently to one Of
the instructors who was explaining
the county fair exhibit arranged by
the College OF Agriculture. The In
structor glanced in the direction In
dicated and proceeded to explain that
the object under observation was a
model OF a silo. "And what is silo
for?" Immediately inquired the Wis
itor. The instructor was fully pre-
pared for@this query and showed not
the least surprise. He had found out
by experience that large proportion
of the visitors at the free exhibit tent
had butlittle idea of the uses of some
OF the newer farm devices. So the in
structor went on to explain that the
siIo was a sort of modern canning
device used by farmers, especially
dairymep and stockgrowers, to "can"
and preserve feeds for winter USE
and he added that silos of from fifty
to $50 tons capacity were very COM
mon in some sections OF the county
and were rapidly being adopted by
West Virginia farmers.
The visitor then became interested
in a milk testing device by means Of
which an operator was determining
the amount of butter fat in samples
of milk which had been brought in,
Then followed series of interesting
exhibits concerning crops soils,
fruits, animals, feeds, Fertilizers and
all of the dozens OF other things
which have to do with the farm and
the business of farming.
The Instructor called attention to
the contrast charts and pictures
showing the difference in yields of
corn per acre, with and without fer
tilizer; with and without careful Sc
lection and testing OF the seed corn;
and with and without careful prep
aration OF the soil Other parts OF
the dfCplay showed differences OF
quality and yield of fruit when diff
erent spraying and pruning method
are used; different productions OF
butter per COW and eggs per heb when
different feeding systems were fol
lowed; different crops which may be
Substituted for others which are less
profitabIe-al arranged in interesting
attractive groups which tell their
story at glance.
This complete educational exhibit
will be shown at the fair grounds BY
the College OF Agriculture during the
regular CIarksburg fair which is to
be held September /, 2, 3 and A It is
certainly worth any ones time to
visit the fair for the educational
features alone.

In its efforts to make excuses for
the disgraeefuf and mercenary neglect
OF his oficial duties by William Jen-

Clarksburg Exponent finds especial
delight In pofntingsout that other cab

at times left their headquarters in
Washington for the purpose Of deliv-

It is needless to say anything about

Cured to the Exponent that the abb
sences OF Secretary Bryan and those

dents in the past from their official
duties are somewhat different both in
the time consumed and the occasion
for such absences.

is true, have left Washington in order.

trips made, bun. once during their, en-
tire terms of four years. werei cone
sidered by them as calls to duty, a
rally to the support of the admins
tration in the sincere belief that such
calls properly answered would be for
the best interests OF the nation. Min
listers and members of Parliament in
England and in many other countries
are actually required to go back to
their constituents and in heated cam
paigns seek reelection as vote of
confidence for the courses they have
taken. 1t is hard to see how officials
of any administration in this country
could hope to retain support did they
not make some. respectable show of
sincerity in their official actions and
political beliefs.
Mr.. Bryan's call to the lecture plat
form, both during his working term
and the six-week lecture tour that Is
described as his vacation" however,
is not. actuated by any such patriot
ism. He confesses that he is out for
the money and makes the miserable

very great hurry to become one of
those capitalists" he has so lc=g de-
nounced on the platform and in his

1t is apparent to every one that Mr..
Bryan is doing both a moral and
political wrong in engaging himself
for long lecture tours when such

AID CLUE MAKES BIG STRENGTHENING
FINE DINNER--BAN ON FAKE ADVERTISING

just a year ago Guy Llewellyn,
Ed Kemmer and A. II. Bloomfield
decided the time had come to
launch real Ad club. Twice be-
fore attempts had been made but
the organization hit the rocks.
But that did not daunt these
boosters. Kemmer was sent out
and in a day or two had % ad
writers signed to a call.
That call was for a beefsteaI1
dinner which will go down TO
posterity as the beginning of "Ti-
geritis. There was something
In the beefsteak that seemed to
innoculate the bunch. They de-
cided to complete the organiza-
ton on the spot and the first an
niversary banquet of the compIet-
ed organization is due next Tues
day night.
After a constitution had been
adopted officers were chosen with
Harry O'Neil president; Ed KEN
mer and A. r. Bloomfield vice
presidents and Guy Llewellyn sec

Regular meetings were held.
Then the AID club began doing
things.

ION Board the Good Ship Earth" ST.
Seven Per of Humanity. No. 2--The Spanish Portuguese

SiXty-five millions OF people In
the New World live under Span
ish and Portuguese republics. But
their numbers are small, compar-
ed with what they monopolize.
From the Rio Grande south as far
as the world extends it is all
theirs. They hold sway over near
ly 100000 square miles of the
Americans-more than a sixth of
the land surface of the world.
They possess half dozen Cali
fornias, and at least three Missis-
sippi Valleys. In their mountain
regions are Utahs and Colorados
almost unnumbered. Two-thirds
of the Western Hempisphere is
theirs as against one-third owned
by the English-speaking, and this
two-thirds comprises not less than
three-fourths of the richness, the
capacity to support population of
the Western World.
Brazil is Portuguese, and all
the rest Spanish. But in the dan
ger that lies in these peoples for
the welfare of the Good Ship
Earth, there is nothing to choose
between these two branches of
the Iberian tree.

MINIMUM WAGE
BILL PASSES
SENATE

(By United Press Leased Wire.y
OLYMPIA, Feb. 22.-Senator
Piper's minimum wage bill, after
violent attempt on the part of
Senator Collins of King to kill it,
went through the senate with
wllirl Friday afternoon with only
two dissenting votes.
This bill provides a commission
which shall fix the minimum wage
of women in various industries,
not more than one change to be
made in year. 1t also provides
that no man who has been a men,
Der of labor union or a member
of an employers organization with
the preceding four years may be-
come a member of the commits
sion.
Collins seeing he could not de-
feat the measure attempted to
amend II by making tie maximum
wage for women $1.2J a day. This
got no support. He then attempt
ed to substitute the house bill in
troduced by DIR. Croake, which
has received the endorsement
unanimously of Tacoma club wom-
en- and which makes the minimum
wage for women a day $1.25, his
hope evidently being to kill the
whole thing by this means, but
this too was voted down.
The bill then went through.

In all these great nations the
common people are debauched In
superstition, and crushed by ty-
ranny. Cruel sports and cruel
customs hold them down to the
level of beasts so far as such
things can do so. In Mexico,
while families average five or six
children, the infant death rate
is fifty per cent. So population
grows slowly, if at all. The peo-
pie neglect their children, and live
insanitary lives. They are slaves
through peonage. With Diaz, or
Madero, or Oroszco, it is all the
same with them.
In Central America, the birth
rate is high and population in
creases with great rapidity-be-
tween wars. But the people are
ignorant and enslaved. Through
all South America continent
SO huge, and so wonderful in ca
pacity for supporting population
that the imagination fails to
measure 1.-THE story is the same.
Everywhere Spanish and Por-
tuguese medieval ideals rule. The
lands are monopolized by land
lords, some of whom own millions
of acres. The common people
are peonized and ground down.
In rich. rich Paraguay the poor
are underfed, and suffer from
diarrhoea and dyspepsia, caused
by starvation, though the land is
not a tenth occupied. In Chile
the death rate among infants is
16 per cent. In Bolivia the devils
or cruelty and greed seem loosed.
Not even in more sophisticated
Argentina and Brazil do We find
conditions much better. The
whole of this great part of the
ship Earth is given over to land
monopoly, peonage, ignorance and
immortality. The percentage OF
lllegitimate births in all these ma
lions runs from 20 per cent to so
per cent.
There is world-peril in this.
The passengers will need to move
into these fertile wastes one day,
and will find them owned by
such influences as l have describ-
ed. What will happen then? No
one can prophesy-certainly no
one can prophesy peace.
The passing of a part of the
Earth into such hands is a dread
full thing. 1t would have been FAR
better had the lands now occupieo
by the Spanish and Portuguese
republics been left in the hands
of their Indian aborigines until
now. The worst thing that could
happen would be for these men,
pies to secure scientific education
and fail to gain democracy. For
with sanitation and modern med
zeal practice, their birth rate
would fill up the land in a few
centuries, with a race of slaves. as
dense in population as are the
Chinese, and with warlixe blood
In their veins which might make
them the War-Lords OF the world
Let us hope that these Cypress
ed peoples may gain the reality OF
which they all have the snadow-
real democracy, and with II, en-
ancipation from landlords, from
superstition, from ignorance. I'M
til they do this, the rest of the
passengers must look askance a
