Commissioner Hicken Of Duluth is out with
new idea in saloon regulation. It is to require all
bartenders to take out city license and prescribe
certain regulations and fix certain responsibilities
upon them Hicken's plan is original and merit
oriouse It would be protection both to the
saloonkeeper and the bartender. The license fee
proposed is nominal. Under recent supreme
court decision the proprietor of a saloon is re-
sponsible for the acts of his employees whether he
is present at the time they are committed or not.
Hckens plan is good.

Improvements At shepherd College.

Beginning with the spring term, which
opens on March oath, there will be many
Improvements at Shepherd College State
Normal School, and this popular institu-
ton will take an important step forward.
The Board of Regents has agreed to pro-
vide spring term assistant and teacher
for the department OF domestic science to
be tablished, and Mrs. Robert Gibson
will again be in charge of the school OF
expression. Besides the department OF
domestic science, there will be started a
manual training department, and a new
laboratory for biological work will be in
charge of Prof. Muldoon.
Principal Thos. c. Miller is now hav-
ing the room formerly used as a town
hall put in good order by having ii re-
plastered and reprinted, and this and the
old college building will become an i'm
portant center of the schools work.
The art department will be moved to the
main building, and the school OF domestic
science will occupy the large room in the
old building where the art students FORM
erly worked. The old town hall will
contain the biological laboratory and the
department OF agriculture will also find
quarters there. Prof. Miller expects to
establish in this hall museum. which
shall be permanent feature OF the school.
He has the promise of many interesting
articles from the people OF this commu-
nifty, and this museum may be made an
object of great interest not only to the
students but to the people generally.
Most OF the equipment for the new
features OF the schools work has been
ordered and will be put in place, Prof.
Miller hopes, by the opening of the
spring term. The prospects for large
attendance and advanced work for the
spring term are very bright.

For Progressive Agricultural Work.

For Progressive Agricultural Work.
At the meeting of farmers and other
persons interested in farm extension
work and similar matters last Friday in
Charles Town, a permanent organization
was effected by the election ofthe follow
ing officers:
Presidential. w. Burr.
Treasurer-W. F. Alexander.
Vice-Presidents-For Shepherdsiown
district, DR.. S. T. Knott; for Charles
Town district. r. I. Browse for Middle
way district, N. R. Roberts; for Harper's
Ferry district, c. J. Cavalier; for Kable-
town district, Logan B. Shut.
II having been decided to employ a
county agricultural agent, Mr.. Moomaw,
of Pendleton county. who is said to be
admirably fitted for such work, was
chosen. He is TO begin work about the
lst OF April and will be con the job"
until the lst of October, at least. 1t is
hoped that by that time the value OF his
work shall have been so clearly demon
strated that his services will be perTna-
nently retained. The government pays
half OF the salary of this official, and the
balance must be raised by other means.
Our county is asked to subscribe $500,
and the farmers and others will be re-
Quested to contribute. II is desired to
raise the amount in subscriptions of s. 90,
so far as possible.
We regard this farm extension move
ment as one OF the most important pro-
gressive measures placed before our
people in long time. 1t means efficient
organization, for one thing, and it brings
into cooperative efficiency the expert
ence and knowledge of the men who are
making success of agriculture, fruit
growing and stock raising. 1t will result
in better crops and more effective methods
of conducting farm operations. 1t will
mean the stoppage of many leaks which
in the aggregate foot up an enormous
loss. 1t will mean better social, financial
and educational conditions.
This movement has been adopted in
some 900 counties in the United States.
In West Virginia nine or ten counties
have employed county agriculturist,
among them our neighboring counties OF
Berkeley and Morgan. Surely Jefferson
county, conceded TO be the best agricul-
tural county in the State, ought to take
its place in the progressive column and
lead all the rest! We hope that our farm
ers and fruit growers and stock men will
heartily endorse the project and that the
county agriculturist may be the agency
for greatly increased prosperity in this
section.

A Delightful Entertainment.

One of the most enjoyable perform
ances given in Shepherdstown in long
time was the entertainment in the fire.
mems hall last Saturday night by For
rence's Concert Quartette. Every num-
Der on the programme was appreciated
by the audience and heartily encored.
Mr.. Lee jerks, the violinist, was an ar
fist who charmed the people-we think
that his superior has never been heard
here. He played with great delicacy,
and yet with sureneSs that showed him
the master of the violin. In technique he
was admirable, and at the same time
there was such expression that he got
right mex" to those who heard him.
Miss Lou McFall, the soprano, has a
splendid voice of opera size, full and
round, and she used it with admirable
effect. The pianist. Miss Gertrude Mer-
sereau, delighted the audience with her
selections, and was a sympathetic &C
companist who gave perfect support to
the soloists. Miss Florence MacAfee
the reader, was exceedingly bright and
entertaining, and pleased the audience
with the clever rendition Of several Sc
lections. She showed genuine talent in
her character deliheations. Our people
were so much pleased with the perform
ance that there is already demand for
return engagement of these artists.
Mr.. jerks, Miss McFall and Miss Mer-
sereau enriched the morning and evening
services in the Lutheran Church with
most acceptable selections, and Miss
McFall also sang solo and Mr.. jerks
played the violin at the Epworth League
of the Methodist Church.
