Shepherd College News.

Extensive improvements are under way
at the college this summer. Four rooms
in the basement are being fitted up and
better lighted for laboratory and other
uses. A stairway is being made IN the
south end of the building to make these
basement rooms more accessible. One
of these rooms is to be fitted up for a
dressing room for young men. The
others will be equipped for biological and
agricultural laboratories. Greater en-
phasiS is to be placed upon the labora-
tory work in agriculture and horticulture.
Miss Woods, head OF the Domestic
Science Department, will return in Au-
gust to resume her work. Plans are
made which will carry Miss Woods one
day out of each week into the towns and
communities OF Jefferson and Berkeley
counties for extending the influence OF
Shepherd College to those unable ia be
present in Shepherdstown. This is the
Joint work OF the State University and
Shepherd College.
Gradually the ideas of Principal Miller
for making Shepherd College an up-to-
date institution are being realized, and
with the dormiory which ills hoped will
be ready for occupancy before the close
of the year, and with the hearty coop
Grafton of the community in furnishing
good homes and encouraging the STU
dents who come here, Shepherd College
will take higher rank among the educa-
tional institutions of West Virginia.
Several applicants for the position OF
music teacher TO take the place OF Miss
Barnes, resigned, have come in and the
students in music may expect TO find
upon their return TO school the very best
teacher that can be found for them. Prin-
cipal Miller will see some OF these ap-
plicants personally while away on his
"trip this coming month.

Mr.. Martin Wins Suit.

AT special term of the Jefferson Cir
cult Court held in Charles Town last
Friday Judge J. M. Woods handed down
decisions in seven cases and entered
three or four orders in various other cases.
A decision OF interest in this community
was that in the suit OF Joseph V. Bell
against u. S. Martin, both of Shepherds
town. Mr.. Bell had brought suit against
Mr.. Martin, asking the court for a man
datory order compelling Mr.. Martin TO
remove the big water wheel at the latter's
mill in this place. Mr.. Bell contended
that the wheel and the race were on his
property and constituted an obstruction
that should be removed. Judge Woods
decided against Mr.. Bell. The case has
been in court for couple OF years. The
wheel that figures in the case is an enor-
nous iron water wheel 40 feet in diam
eter, and is said TO be the second largest
in the United States.

with close attention by the large audi

BRYAN'S FRIEND LOSES.
Metcalfe Apparently Beaten in Govern
orship Fight.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20.--WIth the poll,
closing at p, m. and one of the largest
primary votes in the history of tn,
state, the count was slow and returns
were light up to an early hour yester.
day morning.
The governorship fight in the fall cleo
ton win probably be between r. B.
Howell, former Republican national
committeeman, who has defeated Ross
Hammond and State Senator Kemp of
Fullerton for the Republican nomination,
and present Gov. Morehead, who has
probably defeated George w. Berge and
Richard L. Metcalfe, canal zone governor
and personal friend of Mr.. Bryan, for
the Democratic nomination.
The Metcalfe slump is attributed by
both his supporters and his opponents to
his canal zone job. Hungry Nebraska
Democrats have been waiting long for
patronage, and it made many of them
feel aggrieved that Metcalfe got the
largest and first political plum at the
hands Of the Democratic administration.

which she could hope TO draw supplies
and soldiers. France can also expect to
enlist thousands OF Alsatians and to pro-
mote indiscipline and desertion among
Alsatians now actually wearing German
uniforms.
| But in the wider field the French inva-
sion of Alsace must be recognized as the
answer to Germany's thrust at France,
Germany has attempted to strike France
on the left flank. France has retaliated
! by coming through the German left
| flank. German success means opening a
road toward Paris and into northern
France. France is opening a way into
south Germany and similarly toward
Berlin. If the German offensive fails,
French armies will be nearer than the
German forces i'm Belgium and northern
France, both to the Rhine and to the
German capital.
1t must be remembered, too, that
France, with her allies, has the advan-
tage of numbers. OF % German army
corps, not less than three are on the
Russian frontier, and possibly one more.
France has 81 corps, and the re-enforce-
ment of her allies must mean English
and Belgian troops to the value of at
least five corps. She can thus, with the
British and Belgian corps, place in Bel

1t is fair, then, to insist that the
French counter offensive is at least as
serious a military move as the German
advance in Belgium. 1t is. too, meeting
with quite as complete success and has
already cleared the way from Luneville,
Epinal and Belfort to the east toward
the Rhine and to the Strassburg de-
lenses.
Possibly coincident with a successful
arrival of the German advance from
Belgium at the frontier of France, the
French counter-offensive will be pushed
out into Germany beyond Alsace-Lor-
raine and exercise pressure which viii

weaken the great army now operating

A Band of
Velvet Ribbon
By JOHN Y. HARMED

At summer hotel in the Adirondack
mountains, where there were the usual
quantum of young girls and the usual
deficit of young men for them to firt
with, Albert King. who needed recre-
alton after too much work, found him
self In demand. But King was not
ladies' man, and he demurred-
Nevertheless. there was one girl who
attracted him. She was not one of the
rocking chair brigade, as the ladies who
sat on the piazza were dubbed, for she
was not admitted TO their charmed cir
ele. Why, King did not know.
King made her acquaintance and
was thereafter taboo by the patrician
girls, who had no use for a man who
would divide his attentions to them
with one of another caste. But he did
not mind this, for Ellen Bickford. the
young lady in question, interested him
and relieved the monotony Of his stay
in the mountains. Besides he discov-
cred her superiority in one respect,
courage, for when a large party were

sqnall and it looked as If their boat
would be swamped Miss Bickford dis
played no terror whatever, while other
girls were desperately frightened.
Miss Bickford never wore short
sleeves to her dresses except at the
hotel dances, when she displayed a
well rounded neck and arms. But at

riably encircled with a broad strip Of
velvet. The fact that this part of her
arn-midway between the shoulder
and the elbow-was never exposed
soon began to excite comment That
there was something on her arm to
be concealed was evident: curiosity
stepped in and would know what It
was. But there was dignity about
Miss Bickford that caused curious per-
sons to abstain from king inquiries,
SO the matter remained unexplained.
King was ignorant of the gossip con-
corning what kind of blemish was
hidden under the velvet He had noticed
the fact of Miss Bickford's wearing IL. |
but had not troubled himself as to the |
cause. II he thought OF it at all he /
very likely set it down to the conceal. |
ment of scar. probably caused by |
vaccination. But one day the rumor |
reached his ears that Miss Bickford |
was the daughter of a common sailor /
who. when she was a child. had tat
tooed on her arm an anchor. Since
King had been smitten with the young
lady this report naturally interested
him.
Whatever he may have thought of
Miss Bickford's origin. it seemed TO
him unlike her to conceal any mark
of It. He would rather expect her 30
permit the whole world to know her
for exactly what she was.
Miss Bickford. II seems. was as much
attracted by Mr.. King as he was by her.

NEW STATE FOREST
BOUGHT BY VERMONT
Tract of 5000 Acres in Underhill, Some
of Which Contains Valuable Spruce,
Price of Purchase Reported to
Be S3.2s an Acre.

The purchase has just been completed
by the Vermont state forester of a tract
of about three thousand acres in the
town OF Underhil. This area, which is
now the largest of our state forests, lies
on the west side OF the Green Noun
tain range just south of Mount Mans
field. The old road, which crossed the
range through Nebraska notch, runs
dagonally across the forest, and the
long trail from Mansfield to Camels
Hump passes over it for mile or more.
Some twenty years ago the best
spruce lumber was cut off, but at that
time lumber was far less valuable than
now, and much spruce was left as well
as hardwoods, With the exception of
a bout one hundred acres OF burned land,
the whole area is well wooded. 1t is
fortunate that the state could acquire it
before the mountain was stripped, be-
cause the lumber supply will not only be
of great future value to the town, but
the two streams rising on the tracts
Stevens brook and Lee river would be
seriously effected by deforestation.
The purchase was made through H. B.
Shaw OF Burlington and Ira Thorp of
Underhill. on behalf of the owners, who
live in Boston; and by A. f. Halves,
state forester, and T. +. Hopkins, the
states attorney of Chittenden county
on behalf of the state 1t is understood
that the price paid was only 1925 an
acre, considerably less than that first
asked
The state forester is now having a map
and careful estimates made of the entire
forest, and intends to begin the improve
ment OF the tract as soon as practicable.
The open areas will be reforested next
spring, and improvement cuttings made
Us soon as good market can be de- |
feloped for the weed trees.
One OF the points of interest in this
forest is very beautiful waterfall,
me of the finest in the state, especially |
n early spring
The acquisition of this tract makes
he total area of state forests about s.
100 acres.
