JuutorS EnseTtAln00.
On last Friday evening the Juniors
Of Grenada College were delightfully."-
entertained by their sister classmen,
the Freshmen, in honor Of st. Pat
rick's Day. After attending an un-
usually good picture show at the Gre
NADIA Opera House, the merry party
progressed to the Kozy Korner KATE,
where the numerous small tables
were daintily decorated, carrying out
the color scheme Of green, and where
a most delicious salad and iced
lcourse was served, with Miss CHM,
sponsor of the Freshmen class, as
hostess Of the occasion. The evening
was enjoyed to the fullest extent by
every guest and will long be pleas
|antly remembered.
SEC'Y JUNIOR CLASS.
Hon. Walter Pate Of Jackson came
up to Grenada last Saturday after
noon and remained over until Sun
day at noon. Mr.. Pate is one of the
leading factors in the present legis-
lature and is a strong force wher-
ever conditions place him. He de-
servedly has a world of friends and
happily knows how to keep his
friends by being thoughtful and ever
ready to do the obliging thing at
the needed moment.
Chancellor J.. N. Powers of the
State University passed thru Grenada
last Saturday afternoon on his re-
turn trip from Jackson and while
here was an appreciated caller at
this Office. Chancellor Powers has
justified every expectation of his
many friends in his administration as
Chancellor of the State University.
The University is enjoying a pros
perity and an attendance under his
administration never before known.
- The Price of Coal.
The Sentinel has no more idea
about the price of coal for next sea-
son than anybody else, but it can
state that everything would seem to
indicate rising prices. The country
has been looking for a general de-
cline in all prices for the past
twelve months, but yet prices go in
the other direction. 1t would there
fore seem to be the part of wisdom
to buy next winters supply of coal
right away. In this connection at

while resorting to militant
,sasures Mrs. Pankhurst was
slisht in stature and at so was often
described as having preserved much
~ her girlish beauty. Students of
her temperament found nothing
masculine in it. She reveled in
hrirht colors and flounces as much
a. the average woman. She was
rsssionately fond of music and chill

revolutionary blood has been
traced back to her grandfather who,
II is said, narrowly escaped being
titled in franchise riots. Her IA
tfer was radical.
Mrs. Pankhurst was educated in
paris and here she became COM
nanion Of the daughter OF Henri
Rochefort, an ardent republican and
vas thus brought under further
radical influences.
In 1879 she married DR.. Pank-
hurst who was member of the
first woman suffrage society or
sanized In England. Her husbands
interest in the advancement was
shared by Mrs. Pankhurst and she
bent all her energies to assist him
In carrying out his ideas. He was
member of the English bar and
was author of the married woman's
property act which became English
law in the early sos.
Was the Inspiration.
Many of the outstanding acts OF
the ''militants" taxed both the in
genuity and daring of the suf-
iragets. Mrs. Pankhurst approved
Of many of these and even inspired
some of them,
Under her leadership it was a
common sight to find groups of
women repeatedly charging an
army Of policemen in attempts to
gain the floor of the house of COM
mons; there were scattered in
stances of women who chained
themselves to seats at political
meetings, heckling The speakers and
finally breaking up the meetings al
together.
Mrs Pankhurst today, however. is
quiet Of speech and manner and
there is nothing in her appearance

Sergeants j. Weitzell and r..

their campaign and left Rock Is
land for Chicago yesterday after
noon.
The recruiting campaign was to
have continued until the last OF
the week, but orders were received
by the two sergeants to return to
Chicago.
There was no recruit accepted
in Rock Island. Several appll-
cants were examined. but none
was passed. One applicant was
notified to go to Chicago to be
sworn into the service, but it was
said today that even this recruit
will be lost.

Mr.. Pankhurst helped BY her
"militancy" to win the voting fran-
chise for 5000. 900 women Of Great
Britain. In the period Of her great
est activity she was one Of the most
widely known political reformers
in the world.
On the eve Of what appeared to
be the triumph OF the suffrage cause
In England. the great war broke
out. Mrs. Pankhurst for more than
decade had been head of the
Woman's Social and Political union,
founded in 1903.
Up to the time the war began
Mrs. Pankhurst's followers had
been characterized as hecklers OF
statesmen. window smashers and
fire brands. Mrs. Pankhurst and
many of her aides, including her
daughters, .Christabel and Sylvia,
suffered nearly every hardship for
the cause. They were sent to prison
innumerable times and had on vari-
GUS occasions gone on hunger
strikes" refusing to eat, hoping by
this means of self-imposed starva-
ton to attract sympathy for the
suffrage movement among British
political leaders.
Attitude Changed.
With the outbreak Of the war the
attitude Of Mrs. Pankhurst and her
disciples Immediately changed and
in a declaration to the members OF
the Woman's Social and Political
union, she admonished them to
cease their activities as militant
suffragists and bend all energies
toward helping the allies win the
war.

A Most Valuable Asset

The Experiment Station is one of
the valleys most valuable assets.
II is in charge of specialists who
have made marked success in their
line and should be patronized to the
fullest extent by all growers. The
Experiment Station greatly desires
the cooperative assistance of the
Association and its members. and
we urge upon you the necessity of
keeping in close touch with them If
we are to secure the best possible
results in the growing of fruit We
should especially cooperate with
them in the matter of fertilization,
and the growers should cooperate
with and encourage them TO carry
on all Of the experiments possible
with the different fertilizers that
are being successfully used in the
different parts of the country and
to develop new fertilizers for our
special needs If conditions warrant
II is the policy of the Association to
furnish only such fertilizers as are
recommended after proper tests ant
experiments in the valley to war
rant the cost thereof and ii is our
desire and aim to assist in devel
oping fertilizers which win not only
produce better size, flavor and keep
ing quality of our fruit, but which
will also produce better color ana
n skin that is less susceptible to
bruises
1t is the duty of the Experiment
Station, and all growers should i'm
press upon them the necessity of
making thorough and expansive ex-
perments and permanent records Of
the frost injuries of the past season
to the end that We will have and
preserve permanent records of the
best methods Of treating frost in
jury based on actual experiment, the
same to be preserved for our fu-
ture guidance.
This Is doubly important as there
has never, so far as We can learn,
been any records kept OF frost in
jury of this nature, and practically
all the advice we have received from
the Experiment Station and the agri-
cultural college have been based on
theory and not on actual practice.
Inspection Department
The matter of the Inspection De.
partment is one which has not re-
ceived the attention that it should
have had In other words, 1t has
not grown in proportion to the
growth of the Association as whole.
This means that to keep pace with
the other departments and the
growth of the Association as whole
the time has now arrived when we
should enlarge and increase the use
fulness of this department, not only
by making more rigid and thor
ough inspection, but by securing
men in this department who have
the training and ability to trace to
each orchard diseased conditions and
the knowledge to cooperate with tho
Experiment Station in removing the
diseased conditions. and who are
also trained for and have the ability

With AZ per cent OF the crop yet
to be paid for We cannot make any
definite estimate as to the amount
that will be received for the fruit
unpaid for, with the exception that
we are reasonably sure that the
final returns will be somewhat less
than on the fruit paid for up to the
present time
In reviewing the past seasons bus
mess, we feel that we have passed
through the most trying season In
our history Help has been scarce
and 1t has been almost impossible
to secure proficient help to handle
the business, added to this was the
car shortage, which has never been
anywhere near so serious as during
the past year. Securing Of supplies
was very difficult, and We realize
that without a strong organzatiol
like the Association in the valley |,
would have been impossible to have
secured the supplies necessary for

the part Of the growers to pick

serious item in the handling Of the
Spitzenberg crop. 1t, therefore, be.
hooves us to pick our Spitzenbergs
earlier so as to avail ourselves OF
the early car service in order to get
this variety to market early in the
season. The past season we shipped
many Newtowns early in the season
on account of the failure of the
growers to deliver their Spitzenbargs
early. These shipments were made
necessary because we did not have
Spitzenbergs in stock early in the
season, and as the car shortage was
apparent We used every available car
and therefore used many cars for
