Indianapolis Newspaper Treats Ad-
vent of Disease as Something of
Which to Make a Jest.

Have you had the measles yet?
Well, just be patient. 1t is only a
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
| counted for the great number of cases
of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid of disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving in an armorial ca
pacity.
So, if you awaken some morning and
your forehead is a mass of little
patches of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot, don't
be alarmed. 1t simply means that
you have been chosen to become a
member of the Ancient Accepted Or
der of Measleites, and that the initia-
ton has begun. A five days vacation
is about to be thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably
less, particularly if you have the
Hun" variety, which is as treacher-
Gus as the name implies.
OF course, if you are pressed for
time, there is 24-hour kind which is
very good. II has all the appearances
of the genuine article without any of
the disagreeable features. The doc
tors call it Dukes disease" but it be-
longs to the measle family, and you
will be perfectly safe (and considera-
bly, more comfortably in selecting that
kind.-Indianapolis News.

We are all particularly interested IN
the coming meeting because Of Profess
sor Sutton, Of the State Demonstration
Farm, located at Wardensville, and
presented to the State by Mr.. Law
renee Reymann, of Wheeling, for DEM
onstration purposes. One OF our STU
dents in Shepherd College says that
the farmers in the vicinity of Mr.. SUIT
toms farm look to him in every emer-
gency for the right thing to do. Not a
farmer in this entire county should re-
frain from being in touch with Mr..
Sutton, without being conscious Of
losing something Of value.
The committees are all busy ar
ranging for the school in the hope that
il will be one of the big epochs in the
history of farming in Jefferson county.
1t is now really up to us to make the
occasion two days of helpfulness.
The meetings will be held in one Of
the college buildings in Shepherds
town, and the first meeting is called
for 10 o'clock on the morning Of jan
uary oath.

The question Of the selection OF seed
corn for the 1918 crop will demand the
attention of a part of one day in the
two-day school which will be conduct
ed in Shepherdstown next Thursday
and Friday. Mr.. Stayner, the follow
up man for this school, was in Shep-
herdstown on Wednesday and started
termination tests on twenty samples
of corn sent by farmers in this imme-
date neighborhood. These samples
will be ready for examination during
the two-day school.
An added feature Of the school will
be the coming of Mrs. AIDA HOWE,
who is said to be the most successful
dairyman in Wisconsin. She comes
right from her farm and will present
the latest things in dairying on the two
days of the school. We are exceed
ingly fortunate in securing this bril-
liant woman for this particular work.
Prof. Hayne will be here OF course,
to direct the work and emphasize his
soil, crop rotation, etc. Mr.. Haynes
articles may be read each week in the
National Stockman and Farmer, and
they are worth reading, but it is much
more pleasing to hear him tell what
he has for us.

women OF the county, and it will be a
two days to the conferences with the
