and five of the seven counties that
led in the number of representatives
have had such agents for one or more
years. Some of these agents are
graduates of V. P. l., others took the
short course as preliminary to en-
tering the work, and all the agents
have kept constantly before their peo-
pie the practical benefit to be gotten
in the four weeks course by men and
boys who have not time nor oppor-
tunity to take regular college
course i'll agriculture. Very few of
the counties where there are no farm
agents sent more than one man here.
Forty-six members of boys clubs
In Virginia were given scholarships
in the course this year by boards of
supervisors, the Virginia Bankers
Association, organizations of various
kinds and individuals, and these boys
came mainly from counties where the
agents are working and where their
labors are bearing fruit in revival
of interest in agriculture and an
awakening. among young men and
boys to the possibilities for profit
and pleasure in farming as a profess
ion. These boys were given quarters
in the Y. M. c. A. building, were
looked after particularly by the di-
rector of the Extension Division and
the Assistant State Agent in Boys
Club Work, and every attention was
shown them.
The increased attendance at the
short course this year is very encour
aging to those of the college and ex
tension division who realize its val
ue to the farmers of Virginia, but
it is still far below that of similar
courses in agricultural colleges of the
West, where several thousand men
and boys gather each year for two or
four weeks. 1t is permanent fca-
ture at V. p. l. and its ultimate sue
cess depends on the people of Vir-
ginia themselves.

NOT PEACE BUT SHAME.
New York Worldly

Germnny's Mexican-Japanese plot
against the United States runs par.
allel in moral infamy to the invasion
of Belgium, although the former is
without the tragic consequences of
the latter crime. The two trans
actions differ in the same sense that
an unsuccessful conspiracy to COM
NIT murder differs from actual MUIR
der itself, but the motives in each
case. are the same.
Both the plot and the invasion are
justified to the German mind by the
doctrine of military necessity, and
military necessity is the only God,
the only religion, that the German
Government knows.
No nation in the world is safe. No
nation can be safe until this German
autocracy is crushed and new Ger
many rises from the ruins of a ruth
less imperialism.
Our pacifist friends who are hor-
rified at the thought of war between
the United States and Germany are
terror-stricken by the word than by
the fact. Germany is making war
upon the United States, has been
making war upon the United States
and will continue to make war upon
the United States. Soon or late we
shall have to settle the score, and
there is no escape from the situation
that Germany has created.
1t must be apparent to all intelli-
gent Americans by this time that if
German Imperialism could crush
Great Britain and France. the United
States would be the next victim. Even
II this war could end in stalemate,
the United States would be the next
object of German attack and South
America would be the new place in
the sun of German Imperialism. The
only question for the American
people to decide is whether they will
help fight the battle of democracy
now or whether they will wait until
they may be compelled to bear the
whole brunt of the attack in defense
of their national existence.
The United States cannot be att
peace with Germany. because Ger
many has made peace impossible.
We must either resist or submit; and
if we submit, this country becomes
the moral ally of Germany, sharing
in Germany's crimes against civiliza-
ton and giving aid and comfort to
German autocracy in its warfare
against all the rights of mankind.
That is not peace. That is shame,
and for the great Republic an eternal
shame.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Any special width of public road,
less than 80 feet, must be sustained
by the county records, otherwise the
width of the right of way of our coun-
ty roads, is not less than thirty feet.
Fences on this right of way, I'M
der our recent amended road law,
are distractions, and as such are sub
ject to removal or to be set back, I'M
der penalty, on three days notice from
the County Road Department.
While very evident that such an ar
bitrary move would infiict considera-
BILE pecuniary loss and inconvenience
upon our people, and might be from
many standpoints, most inadvisable,
nevertheless it is not to be inferred
that the county through inactivity in
this respect, resigns the prerogative
of removing at any time anv or all
fences obstructing the right of way.
l would earnestly request, there
fore, in order to meet the require
ments Of the law, as it behooves ev-
cry good citizen that you kindly coop
crate with your road department In
supporting the legal status by hereaf-
tor, and from this date, when con-
structing new fences or repairing and
replacing the old along the public
road, set the same on the line of
right of way. If in doubt as to said
line, advise the road department,
which will render immediate advice or
service.
All fences constructed or renewed
subsequent to this notice, when built
on the public right of way, will be re-
Earded as distractions, and the prop
or action for the removal thereof will
be taken as the law directs.

You reckless men and women who

at least once n week invited an awful

which the moment few drops are
applied to any corn or callus the

off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment is is
applied and simply shrivels the corn

irritating the surrounding tissue or

cost very little at any drug store,
but will positively rid ones feet Of
