The Williams Parent-Teachers
 Association

The News is glad that a par ent-teachers association has been organized in Williams. Such an organization may and the News hopes will bring about co-opera- tion of school board, teachers and parents in the management and upbuilding of the Williams school.
 A parent teachers association is inherently democratic and non-exclusive. Every parent in Williams belongs to the Williams association by virtue of parent hood and every parent in Will jams should take advantage and make use of the privileges of membership. It should be the purpose of guiding minds to keep the association true to it's demo- cratic genius. There should be DO fees to embarrass. The school board can very appropri- ately supply the very small a. mount of finances which the as sociation may need.
 The News believes that month ly meetings of the association will be found advantageous to maintain interest in the associ- ation's work. A time should be selected for the meetings which will interfere as little as possi- ble with the regular meeting of other organizations.
 The News believes that teach CTS should be entitled to full membership in the association and they should share the bur- dens equally. The association is made up of busy people and nc ones business furnishes a better excuse for non-participation ~ in the work than does that of oth. CTS.
 Here's hoping the affairs ot the Parent-Teachers Association will be handled wisely and that the association will work up tc it's possibilities for good.

William Randolph Hearst is a bitter opponent of President Wilson and he is fighting him thru all of his papers, and he has a good many. William Randolph Hearst has large holdings in Mexico which he wants the gov ernment to protect for him and here is the milk in the cocoanut, become very sour thru the mal- ice of this many times million aire. There are other million aires fighting Wilson and if we examine their reasons for fight ing him, we shall find that they too are mad because the admin istration cannot be induced to pull their chestnuts out of the Mexican fire cannot induce the administration to sacrifice Amer ican lives that they may profit.

NEWS FROM ALL SECTIONS OF VIRGINIA
STATE CORN GROWERS
TO MEET IN STAUATON

Blacksburg. Jan. he r. Hodg-
son, associate professor of agronomy
at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and secretary of the Virginia Corn
Growers Association, announces that
the annual meeting of the association
VIII be held in stanton January 10
and 20. 1916. Membership in the as
ISOLATION costs 5 to join and so cents
dues each year. or IS purchases a life
membership. Its object is to establish
improved breeds and types of corn, to
promote the growing of pure-bread
corn, furnish means by which valu-
able native varieties of the grain may
be recognized as pure-bred, and to
further in any way the corn-growng
interests of the State. The secretary
may be addressed at Blacksburg for
membership blanks, pamphlets of the
rules and regulations and for booklets
on the selection of seed corn.
Special efforts have been made to
make the meeting at Staunton next
week the best in the history of the as
ISOLATION and the men on the pro-
gram for speeches are experts in the
growing, harvesting and marketing of
corn. The exhibits at the show, held
in connection with the convention, will
be on an educational basis and will be
SO arranged that those who study
them may find out the principles that
govern the proper cultivation of ears
for planting and for market. The pos
sibilities of Virginia as a corn growing
State have never been fully realized
by the farmers and one Of the objects
of this association is to convince them
that they are neglecting one of their
best sources of revenue.

TEN WHALES STRANDED
ON HA1TERAS SHOALS
Come Almost at Same Spot on Beach
Where Many sailors Were Landed
From Sinking Ships.

Norfolk. Va. Jan i2.--Victims Of
the recent northeast gale which swept
the Atlantic Coast, or injured by
American wayships which are having
extensive maneuvers while en- route
to Cuban waters for Winter practice,
ten big black whales were washed
ashore at Cape Hatteras Monday night.
The whales weigh loco to 5000
pounds each: and they came ashore al
most at the same spot on the beach.
Marine men say the fact that the
whales came ashore at the same spot
would Indicate that they were part
of a school and they might have been
struck by one ship.
Another theory advanced by marine
men is that The big fish were cast IN
shallow water by high seas during the
gale of last Friday and Saturday and
were killed by endeaForing TO get over
the shoals to deep water.
The whales are said to be OF no
value except for fertilizer,
