The Boys and Girls Corn Club.

Since the proceeds of the lee
ture Friday night by DIR. D. E
Phillips goes into the fund we
are raising to send four boys te
Morgantown to take the Short
Course in Agriculture offered dur
ing the winter term, a brief re-
view Of the work done by the
club should be worth while.
The Boys and Girls Corn Club
was organized two years ago, the
first exhibit being held in connec.
ton with the County Street Fair
and was the best exhibit in the
state that year. Pictures of il
were exhibited in education con-
ferences at Richmond. Charles
ton, Morgantown and Washing
ton. The exhibit last year. while
not quite so large, was superior
in quality, Barbour county TAX
ing fifth place in the ten-ear con-
test and seventh place in the sim
gle-ear contest in the State Corn
Show at Morgantown. This proves
that greater attention is being
paid by the farmers to cultivation
and s ed selection, which of
course means larger yields per
acre. How much the club work
will inspire young men to stay on
the farm remains to be seen.
Besides interesting more people
in better farming the club secur-
ed scholarships in Broaddus and
Wesleyan for prize winners. AL
so, through the help of one of its
members a Barbour county boy
was sent to the University last
winter to take the Short Course
in Agriculture offered to prize
winners. Then probably as much
as $3.50 has been paid out q 8
premiums to winning members.
We are trying to make the club
work more efficient, hence, DIR.
Phillips very kindly comes to us
with his lecture Chief impress
sions of Ten Months Travel in
Europe, " and donates the pro-
ceeds of it to the club work of
the county.

TIMELY WARNING TO AUTO
DRIVERS.

Greensboro, N. c., September 4,
MANY automobile drivers are daily
flirting with death,' by falling to
observe the highway regulation,
stop, look, listen, "-when approach
ing railway crossings declares Engi
neer IA. G. Glenn, of Southern Rail-
way, who makes a plea that people
using the public roads take some
consideration of the feelings of engi-
neers as well as be more careful of
Their own safety.
Yesterday | was engineer on
Southern Railway No. 1OS and at
Williams Crossing, which was about
four miles west of Raieigh," says
Mr.. Glenn, / only missed striking
an automobile about two seconds,
and IN this au :omobile were grown
people and children. II had struck
the automobile and killed or injured
those people some one would have
said that the engineer fail ID to blow,
etc. when in fact, had just sound
ed the whistle for Thompson, ans
Wered signal from the conductor.
AMI had blown road crossing Sig
nal. he bell was ringing also, but
the driver of the auto evidently did
not hear any of the signals for when
| came in sight of him, which was
for shorl distance on account of a
curve in the track, the diver averted
a collision by suddenly cutting his
car to the right and rassed within
10 or II feet of him.
Mr. Glenn calls attention, to the
fact that If drivers of automobiles
and other conveyances would OBJ
serve the rule stop, look, listen,"
when approaching railroad crossings
they would safeguard their own as
well as other peoples lives to saw
nothing of the property loss in ca e
of accident.

WHAT AMERICA EXPECTS.

And certainly this is a time when
America expects every man to dc
his duty without thought of profit OF
advantage to himself America is
greater than any party. America
cannot properly be served by any
man, who for a moment measures
his interests against her advantage.
The time has come for great things.
These are days big with destiny for
the United States as for the other
nations of the world. A little wis.
dom, little courage, little self
forgetful devotion may under God
turn that destiny this way or that.
Great hearts, great natures will re-
spond. Even little men will rejoice
to be stimulated and guided and
set an heroic example. Parties will
fare well enough nursing if the men
who make them up and the men
who lead them forget themselves to
serve cause and set great people
forward on the path of liberty and
peace.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson"
