TO aid In this great work: to give these
people their chance. 1t Is almost hope
less with the majority Of the Older
ones. but tho task lies in tho youth. to
educate them and let them take their
rightful place in the world. When
they arc given Il chance, they not only
transform themselves. but their eutlrc
community. The types of people shown
living forty miles from nowhere" many
of whom have never seen train, were
very interesting. Splendid, sturdy
faces. bright-eyed children. looked out
from the screen to invoke aid. They
have nothing but their golden hospital
itN. which is II lordly virtue. and their
iowiy cabin and meager food is shared
with any passing stranger.
The pathetic cry OF the schools is
that they haven't enough room. The
welfare ana extension workers go
through the districts finding out what
the people can do, showing them how to
plant and live. and helping them to find
"a market for their products. 1t is "A

done first BY setting the seed boxes

ducing the amount of water given to
them. Bu, do not let tho boxes be-
come so dry that the plants wilt.
Gradually increasing the exposure
after Il few days. you can leave the
plants outdoors uncovered all day and
even on mild nights. Then they are
ready for transplanting, The harden

when the weather is still cool.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. 2S.--
Gov. Henry d. Hatfield yesterday
signed the double election board bill
which was passed by the West Vir-
ginia legislature at its regular session.
The bill. which Is modelled ON the
Kansas election law, provides for two
election boards TO work jointly, one
to receive and the other TO count the
ballots. II is expected that by such
a system the gathering of election re,
turns will be greatly facilitated.
twenty-five bills passed by both
houses OF the legislature in the clos
ing hoursAef the regular session will
not become law. The bills were being
enrolled and signed by the presiding
officers aaf,t~ohairiaen or COMMITTEES
of each house when the house and
senate adjourned. Technically speak
ing, all bills are required to be pre-
scented to the governor before the adj
journment Of the legislature, but in
sufficient time was afforded for that,
although it was hoped that way
might be devised by which they may
be presented to the governor for his
consideration. He has indicated, how.
ever, that he would decline to receive
them.
While a decidedly more conciliatory
spirit was shown by the senate in its
attitude toward the house appropria-
ton bill yesterday after numerous
conferences and a meeting of the SEN
ate finance committee, yet there APP
