Holidays End in
Schools Of Fairmont

The city schools resumed work this
morning, after having enjoyed to the
utmost ten days OF Christmas vacation
The vacation period was necessarily
cut down somewhat owing to the fact
that the schools lost several weeks
Euring the time the influenza ban was
on and In order that the school term
might not extend so far into the sum-
mer It was deemed best to make up
few days OF time during the holidays
The schools will observe New year 8
day aas a holiday, however, and re-
sumo again the day following.
The Parochial school also resumed
work this morning and VIII observe
New Years day as holiday.
The Normal school viii not resume
work until next Monday.

PROVISIONS MADE BY THE Gov
EMINENT FOR HANDLING THE
WOOL CLIP OF THE u. 8.

Military necessity has caused the
/ United States Government 10 assume
control Of the entire wool clip Of
the country and 30 have a prior
right 10 acquire the 1918 wool clip.
The War Industries Board has issu-
ed a pamphlet which explains the
regulations under which the farmer
may dispose Of his wool. This
pamphlet has been sent 10 all parts
Of the United States. There are
certain further particulars which
Kentucky farmers would like 10
know regarding the exact method %
procedure in disposing OF their
wool. III order 10 get these details
and a fuller knowledge Of the meth
DDS TO be pursued. the College OF
Agriculture has sent a representa-
tive 30 Washington 10 confer with
the Wool Committee OF the War In
dustries Board and in the course Of
few days a full and concise state
ment will be issued through the
public press by the College Of Agri-
culture, giving further detailed in
formation and suggestions 10 far
mers and 10 dealers regarding
prices. methods Of Handling. and
other matters
In the meantime the College
urges that nothing is 10 be gained
by undue haste on the part Of
the farmers in selling their wool.
They are assured that fair and uni
form treatment will be given TO all
parties concerned. In the official
bulletin recently issued by the War
Industries Board, the following ad-
vice regarding the disposal Of
wool is given:
Growers who desire TO do so will
be allowed 10 pool their clips in
quantities OF not less than minimum
carloads Of 10000 pounds and con-
sign the woods so pooled as one &C
count 10 any approved dealer in any
approved distributing center. Grow
ers are urged TO adopt this latter
course through county agents or
others, thus eliminating the profits
Of one middle man."
While under the regulations far
mers are permitted 10 sell lots Of
less than 1000 pounds Of wool TO
authorized dealers, the College OF
Agriculture advises that wool be
assembled in county pools or pools
embracing a more extensive terri
tory. the object being TO facilitate
handling and give the largest re-
turn 10 the grower.

for we were confident the law

ening TO think that now when we

be- counted on not to tolerate again

tiCn as a whole. through its repre-
sentatiVes at Washington. has set
its stamp Of disapproval on any
standards lower than the ii-year
limit for factories and canneries. the
eight hour day and the i6-year limit
for the mines. and few states will
care Ia risk this national disapprov-
al by refusing TO adopt these stand
ards"
The National Child Labor Com
mittee calls attention to the fact
that the Supreme Courts decision
In no way affects state child labor
laws Statutes which were similar

remain in force and states which
had lower standards revert Ia their
old laws. II is possible that a way
will be found 10 regulate child labor
through the federal government and
II this can be done, state laws will
aIain be superseded Icy the federal
law. Otherwise, state legislation
will be the only method Of con-
trolling the employment Of chill

Monthly reports on dairy products

These reports, taken together with

BIG CROWDS SEE AMERICAN BASE
BALL IN LONDON

AS the latest wonder Of the world
London has taken TO baseball" says
a Committee on Public Information
representative in London. THE
English never before had much use
for our great game. They called il
an exaggerated form Of FOUNDERS
and wondered what the noise was
all about but the American and
Canadian soldiers in England have
been educating them.
"A regular league of eight teams
has started a summer schedule and
the English public is learning what
IL has missed. Big crowds witness
the game which is played every
Saturday and the sport bids fair TO
become widely popular. Here Is
the way Thomas Burke, the short
story writer, reports a game in the
London Star Of MAY %:
49, Last week I discovered base
ball. The match between the Army
and Navy teams was my first
glimpse Of pastime that has cap
tivated a continent and I can well
understand its appeal TO a modern
temperament Believe me, it's the
good goods. And the crowd I had
heard and read much Of baseball
fans and their methods Of roofing
but my conceptions were nothing
near the real thing. The grand
stands. crowded with Army and
Navy fans. bristling with mega
phones and tossing hats and demon
lac faces would have made a su-
perb subject for Autograph by Sir
Frank Bragwyn.
The game got hold Of me be-
fore the first pitched ball. The
players in their hybrid costumes
and huge gloves, the catcher in his
gas mask. and the movements Of the
teams as they practiced runs, shook
me with excitement. Then the game
began and the roofing began. In
past years I have attended Various
football matches in mining districts
where the players came in for a
certain amount Of Raging, but they
were church services compared with
the furious abuse and hazing hand
ed 10 any unfortunate who failed 10
play ball.
There was, for example, an ex-
plosive reverberating "A-h-h-h-h"
which | have been practicing in my
back yard ever since, but without
once catching its true quality. You
should have heard Admiral Sims, as
college yell leader, when the Navy
made home-run hit with his, Alta
Boy; Oh. attaway TO play ball." and
when they got~an error, he sure
handed the Navy theirs.
