Chicago. Dee. 26.-Mrs. Mary Boyd,
one of Chicago's ten police women, is
not a large woman, but she is muscu-
lar. Yesterday she boarded street
car while a powerfully built man and
the conductor were engaged in fight
about a transfer. Mrs. Boyd showed
her star and separated the men, tell
ing the passenger he was under ar
rest. When he resisted the officer, she
pulled him from the car, stood him
against a post and rang for the patrol
wagon. Mrs. Boyd rode to the station
with her prisoner and preferred a
charge of disorderly conduct against
him.

Democracy ? in Missouri.

A dainty political dish indeed is that
which some Democratic members of
the Missouri legislature are preparing
for their party at the call of special in
terests. They are asking an emascu-
lation of the Initiative and Referendum
provisions of the State Constitution SO
as to make this popular and useful
check upon legislative skulduggery I'M
workable. Hasn't the Democratic
party or Missouri enough to contend
with already, without provoking the
hostility of hosts of voters, most of
them Democrats, who care more for a
workable Initiative and Referendum
than they do for their party? With over
1000 Progressive Party voters, aud
Sc, 600 Socialist voters, all strenuous for
liberal Initiative and Referendum prov
sions, to say nothing of the host OF
Democratic voters who are equally
strenuous in that respect, nor of the
$4,000 Singletax voters, the Demo
cratic politicians of Missouri may soon
feel something drop if they monkey
too much with the Initiative and Ref
erendum, The Public.

The Charges Brought Against My
Lady Nicotine.

There is only one fair way to legis-
late against cigarettes and that is by
prohibiting their sale to. and use by
minors. Their complete prohibition
would be discrimination in favor of
other forms of tobacco for the simple
reason that their use by an adult is no
more harmful than is Il e use of tobacco
in any other form. The weight of
scientific evidence supports this state
ment, and mostgevery man will~agree
with it if he takes mental review of
his tobacco using acquaintarces. AS
a matter of fact there have been too
much hysteria and too much fat e science
in the treatment of the tobacco question
generally in the United States,rextend-
ing in some quarters into aaSstfprt to
create popular prejudice against the
wholly legitimate and reputable bust
ness cf growing, manufacturing and
selling it The public school physiolog-
les with their historic citation that a
drop of pure nicotine would kill dog
as if that had anything to Go with a
normal adult human and the still more
absurd and improved and unprovab!e
statement that the use of tobacco ex-
cites craving for alcohol, have been
extant SO long that many sensib'e people
actually take these statements serious
+ y. With the indictment of the cigar
cite and other forms of tobacco as to
their deleterious effect upon growing
children, the Sentinel is in full sympathy
and supports legislation designed to
break up the evil habit, but az regards
any attempt to regulate by statute a
normal adults privilege to use tobacco
in any form he sees fit we desire to
quote from the remarks of one of the
most distinguished instructors in the
Johns Hopkins Medical School, where
all wilt agree they have physicians of
keen mentality:
II have yet to see, in either clinic
or a pathological laboratory, any evi
dence to condemn tobacco in any form
not excepting cigarettes.
This man of science. be it known was
not speaking of children or of the luna
tic who smokes sixty cigars day. or
the imbecile who consumes twenty
boxes of cigarettes diurnally, or the
human bovine who carries his cud from
breakfast to b e dtime. but of the
normal. average, everyday adult who
uses all he uses in moderation.-Parker

Home Vegetable Gardening.

The farm and town dwellers should
fully appreciate the value of vege-
table garden. From the standpoint Of
health, the garden fills an important
place. Fresh vegetables are the most
healthful of foods and in their absence
in the rural districts, dependence must
be placed on canned goods which is an
inferior substitute. Vegetables cannot
be procured as fresh and palatable as
when gathered from the garden early
in the day; then they possess flavor and
crispness which is entirely lacking in
vegetables that have been exposed to
the atmosph ere for several days. The
garden is also profitable investment.
From time to time reports are re-
ceived at the College Of Agriculture
showing that half acre of garden
truck will produce net income of
from $500 to $3.50 90. Many failures
in the garden are due to poor seeds
Seed should be purchased from the.
most reliable companies. Not only
should seed be of good quality but the
varieties should be well selected Any
one desiring information concerning
varieties of any class of vegetables
should write to the College of Agricul-
ture; such information is given free to
any one desiring the same. The fol-
lowing is list of good varieties that
are often asked for:
Cabbage;-Early Jersey Wakefield, or
for a late variety, Surehead Carrots
Early Scarlet Horn or Danvers Half
Long. Celery Golden Self Bleaching.
Sweet Corn; (Earlv) Golden Bartam;
(Late) Evergreen or Couotry Gentle

Endive;-Green Curled. Parsnips;-

Sweet Clover.


What kind OF sweet clover would you
advise sowing and the amount per acre;
also the time of year it should be sown?
L. R. Riverside.
The White Sweet Clover is the best
and it will do well providing there is
plenty of lime in the soil. 1t requires
more lime in the soil than either Medium
Red Clover or Alfalfa. Sow about 20 lb'
of seed per acre the last half of July.
The ground should be prepared the same
as for Alfalfa
Agriculture Students Making Butter.
The students of the College OF Agri-
culture, West Virginia University are
receiving a complete course in butter
making in one of the largest and best
equipped creameries that any institu-
tions in the country can provide. The
old equipment at the college creamery,
was very inadequate for such work
and has been replaced by an up-to-date
churn of 375 lb. capacity an agitator,
cream ripener, etc. About 5000 lbs,
of butter will be made each month.
The farmers near Morgantown, and
those on near by shipping points, are
selling their cream to the college. The
demand for this butter is much greater
than the present supply. The students
are very much interested in this work
and it can be expected as they &c
from the college to the various sections
of the State. their services will be ap-
preciated for starting and operating
cooperative creameries among ths
farmers.

Agricultural News Notes, West
Virginia College Of Agriculture.

The history of agriculture is of inter-
est to all citizens Of the State. Much
of that history is to be found in the di-
aries, records and account books of che
pioneers. In order to preserve this in
formation, Prof. O. M. johnson. of the
Department of Farm Management,
College OF Agriculture, Morgantown,, /.
Va. would be glad to receive any such
material and make copies of same.
After this is done the original will be
returned to owners.
Orchard and Garden Notes.
See that the garden and farm tools
are in good repair and sharpened
Repair the sash and frames for hot
beds. They may be stirred up the latter

Now is good time to fix up the tool
room so that the tools will be handy
for use. Perhaps a few should be made
or purchased.

Education and Farmers.
A complete agricultural survey of
Thompson County, New York, showed
| that the owners of farm, who had an
opportunity to attend a district school
only made IN average annual income
from their labor of 1913 o.; those who
had the advantages of "a high school
training, made 1922 90; and the farmers
who had received more than high
| school education, made an aversge
labor income of $847.00. The average
| farmer receives no more for his labor
than does the average hired man, ac=
cording to this report. After of the
farmers received less than the hired
man; another received about the same;
while the remainder received much
more. From this report, we can read
lily see that any one VINO expects to be
come a farmer should first receive ali
the educational training possible for him
to secure. The College of Agriculture
of West | ,fzs, iyersity has courses
Of study to suit every man and boy
and thus will in future years be a great
aid in advancing the income of the West
Virginia farmers.
A farmer at Walkersville has recent
" written the College of Agriculture
that he has doubled the yell of run
down" land the past three years by add
ing lime, draiaing the soil, an gro wing
Crimson Clover. He is not fully salts
fed but expects to secure greater yields
in the future. This certainly lisa great
plan Ply which to build up the farm.
The Experiment Station at MorgantowD
has bulletin on Lime which is worth
considerable to any farmer who may be
interested in this phrase of agricultu-
raj work. A post card will dring it to
any one.
