western Newspaper Union News serylee.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Fort Collins, Colo.-The executive
committee of the State Board OF Agri-
culture, composed of Governor Am
mons. A. A. Edwards, president; j.
S. Hawkins and DR.. Charles A. Lory,
president of the State Agricultural
college, while in session here decided
that the annual farming short course
week should be held beginning Jan.
10.
Because of lack of funds at the
college, II had almost been decided to
forego the short course this year.
However, since so many of the insti-
tutes, especially in the northern part
OF the state had to be postponed and
as the farmers congress, to be held
here Jan. 10 to II. has gone to the
expense of bringing here DR.. It. N.
Carver. chief of the bureau of coop
Grafton. and Harold Foght. chief OF
the bureau of rural education, both of
Washington, d. c., 1t was decided best
to go ahead.
The school will be conducted by the
faculty of the college.
The executive committee faces a
serious shortage of funds. The meet
ing was called to discuss means of
meeting the deficiency.
II was decided to make no further
definite plans until the Supreme
Court acts.

Interest in the freshmen Debating
society of M 'ddlebury college still seems
to be very intense, and large number
of fellows declared themselves willing
to come out and try to make it amount
to something worth while. During the
past week the executive committee with
the assistance of Professor Wetherell
has been busy arranging plans for the
conduct of its meetings and several
good schemes have been determined
upon.
The time from now until the middle
of November will be occupied in practice
debates for those who desire and these
men will not be considered as compet-
ing for the team at that time but will
be given an opportunity later. Begin
ming after the Thanksgiving recess, all
of the class who wish to debate will be
divided into teams, and team of six
will debate each week. Finally about
the beginning of January the six best
debaters will be selected and will COM
pete against each other for the team to
represent the class in debating with
other institutions.
No definite plans have yet been made
as to these institutions but it is hoped
that debate can be arranged with the
freshmen at Union college of Schenec-
tady, N. Y. A freshman-sophomore
debate is also spoken of and seemed to
be favorably considered.
The first practice debate will be held
Friday evening, October 30, on the sub
ject: Resolved, That in the United
States all young men between the ages
of l8 and 25 should receive at least two
years military training"

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

The Middlebury Union of Middlebury
college held its second smoker of the
year on last Thursday evening in Nc
Cullough gymnasium. In spite of the
other attractions presented around town
there was a goodly number of students
/ in attendance including a large proper
tion of freshman.
Previous to the smoker a business
meeting of the Union was held at which
various matters of interest to the col
lege were discussed.
Following the meeting the band
gathered together and rendered few
pleasing selections. Then President
Clifton Day, with few well chosen re-
marks, introduced the speaker of the
evening in the person of Professor Alb
bott, whose appearance was heartily
cheered by the fellows, their enthusias-
tic greeting giving testimony to the
popularity he has among them.
/ Mr.. Abbott gave a splendid talk,
| bearing chiefly on the value of clean
and manly sports. His remarks were
particularly appropriate because of the
departure of the team the next dav for
New York, where they were to play.
He placed especial emphasis on the
/ fact that even though its team would
probably be defeated that it was better
by far to be honorably defeated than to
dishonorably win. And he stated that
in his opinion it was regrettable mat
ter for college to win too many of its
games for harder better spirit is en-
/ gendered by defeat than by victory.
In closing he said that he hoped the
team would continually receive the sup
port of the student body whether de-
feated or victorious.
President Day then announced that he
had expected to have Ray Fisher
gagement he was unable to be present.
AS the next speaker he introduced Mr.
Jones, captain of the team.
Captain Jones made a short but
straightforward address requesting the
the fellows to support and encourage
the team whether they won or lost.
One remark that especially appealed to
his hearers was his statement that the
men who lost worked just as hard and
did just as much for their college as the
men who won.
Following Mr.. Jones address the
Middlebury songs were enthusiastically
rendered and the second successful
smoker of the year brought to close.

B. Howe of St. Johnsbury, democratic
candidate for governor. He was fol-
lowed by P. M. Melden of Rutland.
Both addresses were enthusiastically
received by the audience.
