Cost Of Raising Heifer

Investigations made by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture indicate that the
average cost OF raising a heifer on a
dairy farm in the northern and east
ern sections IL about SCI at the end OF
her second year; this includes an oil
lowance Of S7.S1 for labor. The heifer
IL given a credit OF IS for the manure
she produces. Thusvit appears that
the dairy farmer in the sections men
toned can not AFFORD to raise a heifer
that is not worth more than $50 when
two years old.

Congress Has Adjourned After q
Most Memorable Scssion--Wcst
Virginia Democratic Members of
Body Were Among the Strongest
Supporters of Wilson'S Policies
OTrom Geo. W. summera.)

WASHINGTON. Sept. IL. - What
President Wilson's calls very re-
markablc session of Congress-" has
ended and the Democratic members OF
that body from West Virginia have
gonc home To congratulate the people
ON what Democratic Congress-. with
the advice and counsel OF Demo-
cratic President. has done for them.
President Wilson says the session of
Congress- which has Just adjourned
was full. as NIL recent sessions of
Congress have been, of helpful and hu-
name legislation. which constitutes
contributions OF capital Importance to
the defense, the economic progress and
the wholesome life OF the country"
West Virginians have the satisfaction
OF knowing that Senator Chiffon, and
Congressman Nicely and Littlepage
were In perfect accord with tho Presi-
dent on NIL matters OF Importance dur
ing the session and that they aided In
every measure which has been put
through the session OF Congress Just
closed, which had for it's purpose the
bettermont OF human conditions. IL
the record OF the President and Con-
gross Ia TO be- commended, the record
OF Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Nicely and Littlepage must also be
commended. for they have assisted I'm
all the beneficial legislation which has
been passed. They have stood should
CIR to shoulder with the leaders OF the
party OF progress, side by side with
the President and have been active In
support of all measures which distin-
guish this Congress from it's predeces-
sors They have been a militant part
OF the great modern Democratic par
ty. which has done more for human
progress than any other party has
ever done, and they are standing on
their record I'm the campaign for re-
election which is now on. Human
rights have been placed above sordid
money interests by Congress and more
legislation has been accomplished for
the ordinary man by the Congress that
has just adjourned than by any which
has preceded II. If the people do not
approve of this, they can show IL by
voting against Senator Chiffon and
Congressman Littlepage and Nicely. IL
they approve OF this course, they
should show 1t by giving their sup
port to these men I'm the November
election.

West Virginla's two representatives
in the two Houses OF Congress are try
ing to get one OF tho new government
munitions plants established in the
state. The largest OF tho federal
plans is To be the $11 100000 armor
plate plant, which is to be constructed
somewhere I'm the United States,
West VirglnIans feel that because OF
the natural gas and cheap coal for
fuel and the proximity OF cheap pig
iron, some place I'm that state would
be the proper place for the plant,
Senator Chiffon has undertaken to-
have the board which will select the
site Informed as to conditions I'm West
Virginia, where both Huntington and
Moundsvllle are after the plant. Sem
ator Chiffon has arranged for a hear
ing OF the Huntington Chamber of
Commerce on September 13, and Con-
gressman Neely has arranged for q
hearing OF the Moundsyille Board OF
Trade ON the same date, when the ad-
vantages OF the respective cities will
be set forth. The Secretary Of the
Navy and Rear Admiral Strauss com
pose the board TO select the site and
they will hear the representatives OF
the West Virginia cities on that date.
In the mean time Falrmont wants one
Of the munitions plants TO be erected
by the United States. Congressman
Neely took a delegation from the Fair
mont Board Of Trade TO the War de-
partment and they were given the re-
quirements which would be expected
and blanks on which TO set forth the
advantages OF the city. They were
permitted to file "A brief In behalf Of
the city. and they will do all in their
power, with the assistance OF Major

In the closing hours OF the last ses-
sion, Congress passed Congressman
Neely's bill TO pay widows OF Civil war
soldiers OF the Union army $40 q
month instead OF the S12 the are now
receivingg. In the bill which passed
the verbiago OF Major Neelys bill
was changed but the provisions are ex-
actly the same as in his bill. widows
entitled to this pension should make
application at the earliest possible
date as the pension will date from the
application for the increase. Con-
gressman Neeiy I'm the first district,
Congressman Littlepage in the third
and Senator Chiffon in the rest OF the
state Will supply the blanks on which
to make application for the increased
pension. BY asking for the blanks
and filing the applications promptly.
the increased pension will be paid
more quickly than BY waiting to APP
ply later.

FOOTBALL GAMES
maine COLLEGES

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. N.-The propos-
ed change in the dates OF the Maine
championship series in football Will not
take place netx season. and the games
will be played on mid-season dates,
Oct. 20, q and Nov. 8. Bowdoin and
Bates were ready to make the change
to a week later, owing to the late open
ing of college, but Colby and Maine
had already arranged their schedules
otherwise, and while Colby was In ia
vor Of having the series come later In
other years, it could not conform its
schedule to the change for next year.
AS far as BoWdoin is concerned, 1t
will mean three games before the Sc
ries and two afterwards. The two post
series games this year proved a hard
strain on the eleven, and it is doubt
full if either Tufts or Holy Cross APP
pear on the slate for 1917.
The schedule for the State series as
finally agreed upon will be as follows:
Oct 2o-Bowdoin VS.. Colby at Wa
terville; Bates VS.. Maine at Orono.
Oct 27-Bowdoin VS.. Bates ia Lewis
ton; Colby VS.. Maine at Orono.
Nov. 3-Maine VS.. Bowdoin at Bruins
wick; Bates VS.. Colby at Lewiston.
Bowdoin's schedule for the coming
year promises to be the finest in the
history of the college. Several games
are still pending owing to faculty &C
ton, but there will be a number of rad
ical changes.
The team this season though lighter
than those of the past few years,
played through a hard schedule with
a majority of victories While nine
men will be lost by graduation, the
past few games of the series showed
up a large amount of latent talent in
the lower classes. This was particu-
larly true in the case of Holbrook,
who played his first Varsity game
against Tufts, and was in the lineup
throughout the whole game. The
Sophomore class has several men of
excellent Varsity calibre, including
Small at center, Turner in the back
field and also at tackle. Kern at guard.
Merrill at nd and Sprague in the
backfeld as well as Holbrook at end.
The choice of Peacock for the cap
taincy was popular one. Peacock had
played only a portion of one football
game when he came to college, play
ing halfback on Freeport High against
Deering High for part of their game.
He has proved strong in line plung-
ing, and while injuries received in
practice early this fall kept him back
to some extent, he was one of Bow
doin's best ground gamers. Bowdoin
alumni are we'll pleased with the out
come of the season, and there are
strong hopes for a championship next
wear. 1t is not certain whether Coach
Weatherhead will return next season,
but the Harvard system begun under
Campbell will be continued anyway.

TWO TRIANGULAR
DEBATE LEAGUES
BEING PROPOSED

brunswick, Me, Nov. 27.-Two tri-
angular leagues are proposed for the
Rowdoin Interscholastic D a ii G
League this year instead of the leagues
of four formerly in vogue. The trl-
angular league is now adopted by most
of the colleges, Bowdoin being mem
Der of a triangular league with Wes-
leyan and Hamilton. Under the new
plan each school is to enter two teams,
an affirmative and a negative, the mega
tive team remaining at home and the
affirmative travelling to meet the rival.
In this way the visitors have the ad-
vantage of speaking first and no ad-
vantage is given to the home teams.
1t also gives each school chance to
support both sides of the question and
to train more debaterS.
The proposed question for the COM
ing year is Resolved. that the United
States should adopt system of uni
versal military training similar to the
Australian system. The proposed
leagues are Portland High school. Ed
ward Little High school of Auburn and
Cony High school of Augusta in the
first league, Westbrook High school.
Lewiston High school and Biddeford
High school in the second league and
Brunswick High school and Lisbon
Falls High school in a dual league The
proposed schedule is that in the pre-
liminary debates the Cony affirmative
and the Edward Little negative should
meet at Auburn, the Portland affirma-
tive and the Cony negative at Augusta
and the Edward Little affirmative and
the Portland negative at Portland,
while in the second league the Lewis
ton affirmative and the Biddeford neg
alive would meet at Biddeford. the
Westbrook affirmative and the Lewiston
negative at Lewiston and the Biddeford
affirmative and Westbrook negative at
Westbrook. This schedule is as yet ten
tative for it has not been approved by
the High school authorities. The Bow
doin Debating Council offers loving
cup suitably engraved to any school
winning both it's debates. This will
eliminate the semi-fnal and final de-
bates which have been held in the past
and it is probable that the new arrange
ment will prove far more satisfactory
than the old. The Debating Council has
