BONE DRY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
BY 287 TO 100

WASHINGTON, July 22.-By a
vote of nearly three to one, the House,
weary of talk on Prohibition, today
passed bill for its enforcement.
The provisions and penalties are
SO drastic that they brought from
the men who framed it the predic-
ton it would forever suppress the
liquor traffic on American soil.
Exactly one hundred members-52
Democrats and AZ Republicans re
fused to support it. Against this
even hundred, the Prohibitionists
putting up solid front to the very
last, polled 287 votes.
Just as the result was announced, a
little girl in the gallery, too young to
know what it all was about, leaned
over the railing and waved a tiny
American flag. The House broke into
applause, the galleries, only half fill
ed, looking on in silence.
A broad smile spread over the faces
of the Prohibition leaders, for their
work in the House was ended, and the
measure was ready for the Senate,
where many of its restrictions may
be modified or stricken out.

BARBOUR COUNTY HAS % STU
DENTS AT WEST VIRGINIA
UNIVERSITY

MORGANTOWN, w. ", July "a
Barbour County makes a good show
ing as to the number of students that
are attending the State University at
Morgantown. Out of 1851 enrolled
without counting the Summer School,
Barbour County checks up %, which
is fair showing considering the size
of the county and the extent of its
population.
The West Virginia University has
just sent out an interesting state map
that shows graphically the number of
students in each county. However
Barbour is seen to be below the av-
erage of counties touching it. Har-
rison County goes over the top with
los students; Taylor County has 80,
Preston has AZ; Tucker has 25; Ran
dolph 81; Upshur only 5. As Ran
dolph is much larger and Upshur is
not much smaller, neither of these
two counties evidently compare fav-
orably with Barbour.
However, Barbour should do much
better next year. Her high schools
are in first class condition and should
naturally send number of students
to the University. One of the best
schools in this section of the coun-
try is offered here in our own state
and every one should give attention
to the numerous advantages that the
University has to offer.
