The itemlzed list of contributions to
the campaign fund of Congressman M.
M. Nicely shows that the largest indiyi-
dual donor was Colonel John T. Nc
Graw, which is not very refreshing in
formation to the standpatters who SO
devoutly tried to impress upon the vo-
ters that Major Nicely was a Watson
tool" named especially to provoke the
McGraw followers. AS a matter of
fact Major Nicely received the cordia-
support of all wings of the Democracy

In Agricultural Awakening.

Starting a few years back sa a di.
rect result of the report of the Nation
al Country Life Commission, given 9
forward impetus by the establishment
and rapid growth of agricultural insti-
tutions and organizations, and constant.
~ stimulated by the ever increasing
costs of farm products, the movement
toward better things agriculturally has
grown from the preachings of a few
prophets here and there decade ago,
to systematic propaganda national
awakening-at the present day.
West Virginia, plunged in the midst
of a great industrial development.
Jagged grievously behind for a time.
Then followed period of preparation
and gathering of strength and now, at
the present moment West Virginia is
about to take her rightgui place well
to the fore front in agricultural affairs.
Her orchard areas are already among
the largest in the East. Her proximity
to eastern markets makes carrying and
trucking particularly lucrative. The
reIgning high prices of beef are re-
stocking her excellent pastures with
beef animals of highest type. Good
roads are being projected in every Sec
ton. Her agricultural institutions are
making rapid forward strides and are
taking leading part in national affairs.
Her representatives are found on the
Foreign Agricultural Commission, at
the National Corn Show, the National
Conservative Congress and the Nation.
al Association Meetings.
A team of students from the College
of Agriculture is competing at the
National Apple Show and another wear
similar team will be sent to the Ma.
tional Dairy Judging Contest. On every
side agricultural affairs in West yir-
ginia seem to be taking ON definite
systematic. organized movement which
should mean much for the permanent
prosperity of the state.

The advance of the railways OF the
country in applied sanitation has
been marked When one recalls the
conditions allowed to exist in railway
cars twenty years ago the present
state of cleanliness is comparatively
satisfactory
The railways are indeed to be com
mended for the gradual Introduction
of hygenic regulations that keep
their cars. in spite of the numbers
of people who travel in them every
day. in state that is not likely to
endanger health There remains,
however. one phase of railway SAM
tation that will soon have to be Dealt
with. Though it is a difficult phase
there is no doubt that improvement
of present conditions must come
without delay.
1t would seem to be better for the
railways to take up the prop IN OF
their own initiative rather tnah be
forced into il by legal regulation
