people Of Virginia. especially he wo-
men Of Virginia, want a coordinate
college at the UNIVERSITY a' as Il there
could he no reply to that question.
and. therefore. no one need expect

ton for "a college il the expression of
small group and does not voice the
sentiments of the rank and file of
the people of the State
There is an adequate answer 70 this
question to he found IN the enthusi-
astic endorsement OF the plan for a
woman's college at the University by
the following organizations
The state Teachers Association.
The Federation of Mothers clubs.
The Farmers Union.
The Federal Labor Council.

The w. C. r u.
The Council Of Jewish Women
Among the very few organizations
we know of having membership IN
various sections Of the State which
have as Yet failed TO endorse the col
lege is that of the Farmviile alumni
As the Hon Walter Moore stated
In his mastery address before Il Joint
committee of the Legislature several
weeks ago there is no way of know
ing just how the ma iority of the
alumni feel on this subject They can
hardly be said to intelligenuy oppose

where no one favorable 20 the college
was allowed to speak.

said The University Of Virginia be-
longs to the people Of Virginia and
not the president the rector ana the

BADGER FARMERS LEAD,
Washington Forms Farmer Banker
Union Like That of Wisconsin.

When several hundred bankers and
farmers of the state of Washington
gathered last month at their agricul-
tural college they were merely follow
ing in the footsteps of Wisconsin,
organized agricultural and banking in
terests, Who held state banker-far-
mer conference in Madison last March.
Close cooperation" has become
the almost universal keynote of bank
er-farmer conventions and publica-
lions. Both the men who produce the
money and the men who handle it
and supervise its investment are be-
coming more and more convinced that
unity between the till and the tiller"
is essential for community and state
advancement
In this union of banker and farmer,
Of the seven members Of the agricul-
tural commission of the American
Bankers association, j. R. Wheeler
of Columbus, is now president of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, and
an influential worker for the cause of
better dairying by way of pure bred
slres and test associations.
Another banker-farmer meeting
will probably be held in Wisconsin
within the coming year.

Is son OF REVOLUTION.
Father OF Madison Man Was General
in War For Independence.

The American Revolution ended 1873
years ago. Astonishing as it may
seem, one of the leading lawyers Of
Madison is son of a general who
fought throughout the Revolution to
win our independence from Great
Britain. William A P. Morris, lit
eral "son Of the Revolution" comes
OF distinguished lineage Among his
ancestors are numbered royal gov
ernors and colonial judges. His grand
father, Lewis Morris, was a signer of
the Declaration of independence His
father, General Jacob Morris, friend
OF Washington and of Lee, aided in the
defense of Fort Moultrie in 1875 and
fought at Monmouth a few years later.
The Madison lawyer is the son of
second marriage of the general, who
was seventy-siX years Of age at the
time of his birth. Although in his
eighty-fourth year his intellectual
power is undimmed and he continues
one of the ableSt members of the Mad
lSon bar. In his home are many me-
mentoes from the period, now a CEN
fury and a third removed from US,
when his father fought for American
Independence

School Board Convention.

The annual school board convention
Of Dodge county, will be held in the
court house, in the city of Juneau on
Thursday, November %, 1916
An interesting program will be off
cred. Mr. A A. Thomas, state rural
school inspector, will address the con-
vention on "The Powers, Duties and
Opportunities of School Officers and
Teachers" The exercises will begin
at 1920 a. NJ
All school clerks are required by
law to attend the Annual School Board
convention and other school officers
may attend the convention. 1t is to
be hoped that every school in the
county will be represented at the 1916
meeting. Clerks who may be unable
to come should see to it that some
other member of the school board is
present at the meeting.
