From School to College.

The Wesleyan Methodist College
tormcrly the Bible institute), incor-
poratcd under the laws Of South Car
ollna, was established by the Mis-
sionary Society, a corporate body of
the Wesleyan Methodist Church Of
America, having it's principal Office
at Syracuse, n. Y. The establish
ment Of the school grew out of the
belief that an educational inst:tu-
tion which had in view the develop-
ment Of Christian character as we'll
as thorough intellectual training
was a real necessity. After several
years of discussion in various sec
tions of the southern district OF tho
church Charles B. Smith, residen:
OF Central, and a member of the
South Carolina Conference, made the
beginning OF the school possible by \
liberal offer on farm OF 145 acres,
distant about one mile from the CEN

There are probably many people in
Oconee and in the upper tier Of coun-
ties Of our State who know but
vaguely, If they know at all, Of the
work and scope of the Wesleyan
Methodist College, located at Cen
trail, in our sister county Of Pickens
We have recently had occasion to
know more OF this institution and
its broad scope than we had known
previously, and the magnitude Of the
institution, the loftiness of it's aims,
the extent and capacity Of its build
ings and the splendid proportions Of
its campus and outlying lands i'm
pressed us no little. It was to the
end that we might let others know
what we have just learned that we
sought some detailed Information
concerning the Wesleyan Methodist
College. and through the courtesy of
President Bedford have secured

to play an important part and FIJI a
great sphere Of usefulness in the flu

Piedmont section of South Carolina.
In the brief statements below we
give some OF the more prominent
features Of the institutions:

Origin Of the College.

The school was started as a mis-
sionary enterprise eleven years ago
this coming fall. The money for
financing came through the Mission
AIRY Society OF the Wesleyan Metho-
dist church. Syracuse, N. Y. For
several years it has been paying it's
own way, and at the same time has
made some progress. The growth
since the present management be-
gan. two years ago, has been remark
able. 1t has increased it's enrolment
100 per cent; it has doubled it's prop
erty value; it maintains full four
year high school course, beginning
with the eighth grade; it has full
four-year college course. No student
will be admitted to the freshman
year unless he has completed the
equivalent Of our full high school
course. There is music department
with a voice teacher and a piano
teacher. Both are excellent in their
line. The school kept four pianos
going from morning till night during
the past year. There Is Il three-year
theological course. The total enroll
ment last year was 1871. Thirteen
States were represented in the stu
dent body and faculty.

Institution is NOn-Sectarian.

While the college is supported by
the Wesleyan Methodist church, it is
non-sectarian. The object OF the in
stitution is to give to worthy young
men and women who have not been
blessed with wealth the opportuni-
ties Of good education with a min
imnm expense. The tuition amounts
TO about 40 per cent Of the actual
cost. The motto Of the Wesleyan
Methodist College is: "Thorough
scholarship; dcvout Christian gentle
men and women" This school is in
no sense reform school. Young
people who do not desire to work,
and work hard, and keep the rules
OF the institution, need not apply"
said the president Of the institution
in speaking Of the work that is being
carried on.

KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET
Receipts OF Animals All Kinds Light
as Compared With Last Year
Prices Strong.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct 26,
1917.-Cattle received this week, 49,
900; last week, 10000; same week last
year 10000. The market advanced
slightly from day to day, closing
around so cents higher for the week,
best steers here S15.25. Hogs re-
ceived this week 10000, last week ST.
900, same week last year $4,000, mar
ket 25 lower for the week, top today
s16.50. Sheep this week $4,000, last
week $4,000, same week last year 49,
600, market 25 to 40 cents lower, best
lambs to killers now around $1,000.
Beef Cattle.
Packers show a need of cattle, and
wait around the pens each day to get
chance at last arrivals. Dressed
beef steers sold at S1325 to $l5.25
this week, Kansas grass steers $3.50
to $3.50, Oklahoma steers $7.25 to
81, numerous sales of large strings
of Colorado steers at 1915 to 5000.
Cow prices took on the full advance
this week, best at $40, Oklahoma cows
at $3.50 to $3.50, odd head up to $3.50,
Colorado cows at $685. to $S.25, Tex
as and New Mexico cows $3.50 to ST.
so, Gamer cows closing the week at
$3.50 to $3.50, like the kind that sold
around 1928 recently. Calves are
unchanged, at $3.50 to 1880
/ Stockers and Feeders.
The supply has been small, and sales
are % to 90 higher. Illinois and Iowa
want cattle to consume soft corn, and
the general feeling is strong. Stock
steers range from $3.50 to $3.50, feed
ers $3.50 to $1O.50, a few lots of
feshy feeders at $1100 to $1,000.
The embargo against shipments of
stockers and feeders is still on, but
will probably be lifted early next
week.
Hogs.
The big drive on prices was checked
this week, and market has had a
strong tendency last three days,
though without material advance.
Best hogs of either medium or heavy
weight sell at $1650, best lights to-
day $l6.05, bulk of all sales $15.25 to
$16.25. Receipts are increasing
slightly, and the influence of the new
corn crop will be felt more each week
in larger receipts. Demand is very
great, and while prices are not down
to figure satisfactory to killers,
they look as lo@ as receipts justify
up to this time.
Sheep and Lambs.
Four cars of feeding lambs sold at
$16.40 this morning, and some just
fair fat ewes sold at $10.25, 1l2 lbs.
average. Best fat lambs are worth
up to $1,000, and choice Western feed
ing lambs might go above SIT. Breed
ing ewes are more plentiful this week,
useful ones worth $40 to $14, fancy
yearling ewes upwards to $3.50,
feeding ewes around 81, and the same
opportunities will be available next
week

HAVE SANE THANKSGIVING
Conservation is Just as Important al
That Time as Any Other.

Have sane Thanksgiving, advises
the Extension Division of the Utah
Agricultural College. Find something
bigger and better to do on Thanks
giving Day than to eat excessively,
which always results in stupid dull
ness, headaches, etc. Let your Thanks
giving Day be a stimulus to better
work and not day of over loading
the body and causing auto intoxica-
ton of mild poisoning, the effect Of
which it takes days to work off
Think of the waste it will mean if
each family serves even as deliberately
as usual. Let us not even for one
day forget our duty 40 our nation in
food conservation. If Thanksgiving
Day ever meant anything to America,
and particularly to the people of Ut
all, it ought to this year. Consider the
wealth of harvests we are reaping,
compare our situations with those of
the majority Of the people Of the
world. Make your Thanksgiving a
sensible one. DO something worth
while. Read a good book. Attend a
good play Do a service for some one
who is less fortunate than yourself,
and bring joy to those you meet by
your happy cheerful countenance.
Make your Thanksgiving dinner a
representative dinner for conserva-

REPORTS FROM
.UvaTY AGENTS
Beaver TO Have Cheese Factory.

Beaver TO Have Cheese Factory.
The farmers of Beaver have decided
to build a cooperative cheese factory,
according to County Agent II. A.
Christensen. Committees appointed
at recent meeting already have the
project under way. Additional items
of interest concerning the work of
the agent of last month comprise a
number of demonstrations of methods
of selecting seed corn and seed po-
tatoes. Experiments carried through
the summer with tepary beans and
silage corn have demonstrated that
these crops can now be successfully
raised in Beaver county.

ABOUT THE FARM
Valuable Suggestions From the Utah
Agricultural College.

Now that winter is approaching,
have you made arrangements to heat
the drinking water for your dairy
cows? Warm water saves feed be-
cause it does not draw on the vitality
of the COW as does cold water. 1t in
creases the milk flow because a COW
will not reach maximum production if
she does not drink lot of water and
she will not drink much if it is ice
cold.
How about next years supply of
seeds? Have you made arrangements
for them? Better do it now and save
time when work is rustling in the
spring. If you can store them, why
not ask for fall delivery? 1t is the
patriotic thing to do because every
bit shipped now will mean that much
less to ship in the spring.
Are your machine sheds repaired?
It's good thing to have them ready
for your machinery before snow flies.
And be sure that all your machinery
is under cover this winter. Factories
have enough to do making airships,
ammunition, motor trucks, and big
guns without replacing farm machine
ry that is useless because Of poor
care.

Fertilizer is scarce these days. 1t
is not only patriotic, but good farming
to use every bit of barnyard manure
for fertilizer. See that the manure
gets on the land.

Box Elder Building Silos.

County Agent r. II. Stewart re-
ports that he has assisted the farm
ers of Box Elder County in building
ten slos and in filling four. Coop
orators in the alfalfa weevil control
project have reported gains in yield
over uncultivated areas. The COM
mittee working ON the plans for the
Mantua Cooperative Cheese Factory
have presented these for the approval
of the cooperative farmers.
Cache County After the Thistle.
Much progress has been made dur
ing the past summer in the campaign
to eradicate the Canada Thistle in
Cache County, according to County
Agent Wrigley. Especially good work
has been done by Logan City and the
canal companies. On the properties
of these public and private corpora
tons, the weed has been kept cut be-
meath the surface of the ground and
has not been allowed to go to seed.
Individual farmers have also respond
ed well to the eradication campaign.
Iron County Sees Value of Selection
of SEED.
County Agent Alma Esplin reports
that those farmers who have been CO.
project have proved to their salts
faction and that of their neighbors,
that a careful selection of potatoes
for seed, with a proper treatment Of
the selected seed for disease, will in
crease the yield to a marked degree.

daintily served, but economical meal.
Let your service be as much as pos
