DR.. c. r. Titlow, director of the Ag.
ricultural Extension Bureau of the West
Virginia University, was in Shepherds
town last Friday in consultation with oul
Community Club and in the interest o.
patriotic service, and we are sure that his
visit will be productive of much good.
DR.. Titlow, who is one OF the leaders in
his profession, was warmly welcomed
here, and his counsel and suggestions
were greatly appreciated. Friday after
noon DR.. TitIow made most interesting
and helpful address to the students and
faculty of Shepherd College and number
OF persons from the town and neighbor-
hood. His suggestions were to plant
more and greater variety, 10 care for
and increase live stock, and above all
10 eliminate waste and practice economy.
He gave in detail some OF the ways in
which these practical suggestions could
be carried out. His address was patriotic
and inspiring.
Friday night DR.. Titlow attended a
meeting arranged by the Community
Club for The colored people, held in the
Baptist Church. He again made most
helpful and interesting address, which
was enjoyed by large audience OF COL
ored folks and a number OF white persons
who were present. Mrs. Edwin S. Jar
ret. president OF the club, presided.
Brief talks were made also by Miss
CowsiIl, OF the domestic science depart
ment of Shepherd College, and by Dr..
Lueder, our county agricultural agent:
Led by choir of colored persons. patri-
otto songs were sung with much fervor.
Tuesday afternoon, at the regular meet
ing of the Community Club OF Shenan-
doah Junction, the support OF the club
was pledged TO the movement for obtain
ing demonstration OF home economics
for Jefferson county. The sum OF twenty
five dollars was. named as minimum
contribution, but in view OF the clubs
record for efficiency there is little doubt
that this sum will be exceeded. These
public spirited women OF Shenandoah
Junction have been organized for some
months; they have met regularly on alter
nate Thursdays, and have been doing SER
iouS work under their officers-Mrs. Rob-
et Browse, president Mrs. Littlejohn,
vice president; Miss Felker, secretary ;
and Mrs. Hendricks Daniels, treasurer.
Without waiting for demonstration from
Morgantows, they have been having
demonstration meetings OF their own,
led in turn by the good housekeepers who
make up their own membership they
have turned out fifty shirts for the wound
ed of our French allies, for they sew when
they meet; and they now have schedule
for Red Cross work besides. The girls
are projecting canning club, and two OF
the younger members have already taken
over a piece OF ground, lent by Mrs.
Browse, on which they will raise crop
OF navy beans entirely 10 their own labor.
The meeting Tuesday was genuine in
spiration 10 small delegation from the
Shepherdstown Community Club, which
went over with Professor Muldoon to at
tend it. DR.. Lueder and Professor Null
doom both spoke on the importance OF
the home economics campaign. and the
club responded in the generous manner
already mentioned. Our own delegation
returned 10 Shepherdstown with fresh
enthusiasm and brand-new slogan:
keep up with Shenandoah Junction"
Sufficient funds are in sight 10 insure
the employment OF a demonstration OF
