to A. w. Norlan. assistant professor
of agricultural extension al the Uni
versity of Illinois.

mer months, directing their work,
study and business in connection with
their farm projects The boys in
these classes are usually organized
into vocational clubs under which
auspices trips are taken TO sales, fairs,
universities. agricultural exhibits, and
good farms All Of this reacts to the
moral and social. as well as the vo-
cational and agricultural education Of
the boys.
For the fiscal year ending June

established departments of vocational
agriculture and over $4,000 boys had

unmarried women complain about this.
1t is but few nights ago that two
young girls on a legal errand, While
passing along the street, We're impor-
tuned by two young men whom the
girls had never met to go joy riding
with them. About the only way OF
escape for them was to run to place
of safety. We do not wish to advertise
the depravity Of Denison, but we4st.ddo
insist that the people. Of this commun-

world for it, it should be with one OF
these beasts of prey who Is engaged
in pastimes of this character. We sin.
cerely hope no charge of this kind can
be truthfully lodged against any young
man whose home is in Denison because

sHARD1NGs AccEPTANcE SPEECH

3 The notification given to Senator
Harding of his nomination for presi
dent and his speech of acceptance
proved a great event in the career OF
the candidate. WIZ imagine he little
anticipated that fifty thousand or more
of the stalwart republicans of the coun'
try would be found at the meeting It
certainly was good natured, enthusi'
astic crowd that faced him on this oc.
casion. Senator Lodge of Massachus-
etts was the chairman of the commit.
tee that notified him of his nomination,
and it is needless to say that Mr.. Lodge
performed his part properly, because
he is incapable of failure in the per-
Torrance of a public service. The
speech of acceptance of the candidate is
regarded as high minded and able adj
dress. After reading it one Is not con
cerned for fear our candidate for presl-
dent is unable to deal with public ques-
tions. He certainly has the ability to
express his views in statesmanlike
way. Mr.. Harding is growing in
strength every day and the fact that
prominent men in. the party and lead
ers of various factions of the party are
constantly going to his home and
;pledging support proves the confidence
the country has in him as a candidate.
If Senator Harding is beaten for spresi-
dent it will be because of mistakes In
the management of the campaign and
not because the candidate himself fails
to. measure up to the proper standard
We have no fear, however, of misman-
agement this year when one SO capable
as Will Hayes. chairman of the com.
mittee, is looking after the welfare Of
the candidate This is to be a republi.
