.TITLOW GOING TO
FRANCE ON BIG WORK
CREDIT DUE HIM FOR WONDER
Full GROWTH or w. VA. AGRI-
CULTURAL EXTENSION
WORK.

MORGANTOWN. w va. Dec 10.
Director C. r. Titlow, for years head
of the agricultural extension service
In West Virginia, received today a
message from DR.. Kenyon L. Butter
field requesting him to report in Paris
az soon as possible for overseas duty
Or. Butterfield. the well known or
ganizer of international fame, is now
in France having in charge all voca-
tional and agricultural work in the
United States Army abroad. France
is divided into seven divisions or re-
gions and Director Titlow has been
requested to act in the capacity of a
regional director.
This request comes as a source of
satisfaction to West Virginia Unver-
sity and is recognition OF Director
Titlow's seven years service in or
ganizing what is known among all ag-
"icultural and rural life leaders as one
of the strongest extension divisions
in the United States
Seven years ago the agricultural
extension division of West Virginia
University had but one man in its
service and an appropriation of but
$4,000 for extension work. Today the
Department has in West Virginia
total of lit field agents and super
visors, a score of clerks and stenog-
raphers, in addition to many farmers
institute workers employed for a short
time. There are now farm bureau or
gained in fifty counties of the state
with an active membership of approx
imately 10000; more than 10000 boys
and girls of the state are enrolled in
agricultural clubs; 5000 women are
members of farm women's clubs; and
by a recent survey it is shown that
from IS to 95 per cent of all the peo-
pie of the several counties are being
reached by the service. The United
States Department of Agriculture
greatly assists in this important work
by furnishing a large portion Of the
finances and also through the Help of
specialists stationed within the State.

NOTICE TO ALL HOLDERS
OF LIBERTY BONDS

My attention has been. called to the
fact that certain persons are endeav-
oring to purchase Liberty Bonds OF
the different issues at prices very
much lower than the actual worth OF
the Bonds, and | therefore urge upon
the holders of Liberty Bonds not to
sell to such persons. If it is necessary
to sell them get in communication
with the Liberty Loan Committee be-
fore so doing as this committee will
see that you get a proper sale price
for them and will arrange that the
bonds may be used as collateral for
the credit needed.

BERNE, Dec. 15.-American officers
coming through Switzerland from Ger
man prison camps are unanimous in
saying they had no complaints Of bad
treatment. Hardships were suffered
by enlisted men taken prisoner by the

caste is everything; SO, even among
captives, they made distinction. But
guards at Landshut prison camp
