THE BARBOUR
COUNTY INSTITUTE

The Barbour county Institute will
convene at Philippi in the Court
House, August 30th
Supt. L. w. Burns, Grafton and DR..
M. j. Abbey, Morgantown, are the
instructors.
Prof. F. A. Wheeler, Mercer, Pa,
is the director in music.
In this institute our aim shall be to
emphasize three things: Rural School
work, English Including reading,)
Agriculture.
DR.. Abbey will have agriculture,
his special field of work, and in
which he is especially interested. We
hope to have this subject presented
to the teachers as they4are present
it to their classes. 1t is thought we
should have better results from the
teaching of this subject in our country
schools.
Our idea is if we can improve the
farming conditions all other things
will be added unto us. We should
first help the farmer in order that he
may be able to help provide better
things-road, churches, schoolhouses,
better homes, Libraries, lectures and
all these things that go to make life
worth while.
Supt. Burns will have Rural School
Work, field in which he has had
much experience as superintendent Of
Greenbrier county.
Our idea here is, not so much the
dry, stale stuff in text books; but
that vast reservoir of material and
energy in utilized and going to waste
on the out side of the text book and
real life.
1t has been said that our work in
the school-room during the past
twenty years has been too superfced.
We should endeavor to help the
masses to help themselves-to solve
the real life problems.
Prof. Wheeler will endeavor to lift
the soul into land of inspiration and
love for one of the greatest cultural
subjects, music.
We desire the teachers to bring
their problems and prepare to do a
large part of the institute work, by
SO doing we can be mutually helpful
to each other.
Arrangements have been made for
one lecture that We thought would be
helpful and educational for the teach
ers and public in general. The title
of this lecture is,-..The Greatest War
in History" by DR.. Douthat, who was
for number of years professor of
history at an university.
DR.. Douthat has been a life long
student of history and the message
which he will bring to US should be
well worth our hearing His will be
the utterances of nature thought and
due elaboration, with knowledge of
world history to influence his premi-
SEES.
Our evening programs will be in
structive, entertaining, social.
1t is hoped every teacher in Bar
bour county will attend his home in
stitute, and cordial welcome is at
tended to all teachers from other
counties who disire to mingle with us.
Let every teacher and citizen in
Barbour county become Booster"
for the biggest and best institute our
county has ever had.
Respectfully,
E. A. HUNT,

Details of the American answer
have not been divulged. but it is un-
derstood that the United States will
not only cite It's rights under inter-
national law but viii recall precedents
in previous wars In which Germany
and Austria have been interested
where importations of arms were car

Tho significance of concerted action

contraband had secured the adhesion

Denver. Colo, July 16.--Tse- Ne Gas.
Piute Indian. was found not guilty OF
a murder charge by a Jury in the Unit
ed States district court, late Thurs
day. Ise-Ne-Gat had been accused Of
numbering Chacon. a Mexican sheep
herder, in southwestern Colorado.
Tse- Ne Cat. according to physicians
at local hospital, will not enjoy his
freedom long. They pronounced him
seriously affected with tuberculosis OF
the lungs.
The trial was the elimination OF a
series Of events which attracted wide
attention last February. United States
Marshal Nebeker OF Utah was charged
with the duty of arresting Tse- -Ne-Gat.
but he encountered resistance from the
young Piute and the latter's father.
In canyon battles between the In
dians and posse, one deputy and sew
eral Piutes were killed. A surrender
was finally obtained by Major General
Hugh L. Scott on the promise that
Tse- Ne-Gat would be given fair trial.
There was considerable interest in
the trial, which lasted ten days. The
governments case was circumstantiai
and the defense attorneys exacted sew
eral bits Of conflicting testimony from
the prosecutions witnesses.

TAKE OVER CANADIAN CROP.
Entire Yield Of Wheat and Oats to
Be Taken by British Government.

! Duluth, Mimi, July ia report
'emanating from Montreal, to the effect
that Canada's entire seasons crop Of
wheat and oats will be taken over by
the British government, was current
on the Duluth board OF trade.
It is said that the present trip Of Sir
Robert Borden, the Canadian premier,
to London, was made with a view to
discussing prices and terms to govern
the transaction with members OF the
British. government. This action Is to
have been proposed on account Of the
inability to force the Dardanelles and
the consequent indefinite holding up OF
the Russian crops from the markets.
Local grain men concede that this
action on the part of the British gov
ernment would have an exceedingly
bearish effect on the American grain
markets thru placing restriction upon
exports until such time as the Ca
madam supplies should have been dis
tributed. .s

that have done havoc to train service
Of southwestern Iowa and isolated
many Of the towns. A telephone call

fact that the track was washed out
