It Is to be regretted that more thor
ough investigation Is not made upon
this subject to ascertain whether the
phenomenon is supernatural OF other
wise. Nevertheless it would be great
enlightenment to the world IL 1t could be
brought into the domain OF exact
science, the same as hypnotism and
many others. When such men as Sir
Oliver Lodge, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
James Hysop and many others have
Investigated and feel, without doubt,
that the phenomena are caused by de-
parted spirits, it is time for some of us
to get real busy before we condemn
the subject as hallucinations Of dis
eased minds. I, ut least, am open for
corrections, and eagerly await the time
when we shall know more about this
subject in general.

that the vision or apparition appeared
two days after the drowning In the
yaen river. This cause is attributed by
DR.. Hudson to telepathic communica-

through the mind Of the drowning party

that 1t was her spirit, and could it

CLEAN HANDS
r. LEE GARLAND,
Chairman.

To those who contribute to the Ret
Cross in it's current campign, it should
be no small satisfaction to feel tina
to no organization could money b.
given with more certainty on the par
of the donor and that it will be spent
wisely and economically in addition to
being spent in a good cause.
So often the criticism is made of
welfare organizations that the sum en-
trusted to them is lavished with pro-
fligate hand. The business man is apt
to think that business methods are the
last things used in the administration
of such funds. He is apt to resent,
and rightly so, seeing money he has
earned by the sweat Of his brow and
given out of the goodness Of his heart
frittered away without regard to sys-
tenn.
Such a charge can not be made
against the Red Cross. 1t has proved
its efficiency under circumstances
where efficiency might have been
more easily showed aside. During the
war, when governments and people
alike were none too careful in their
Of money or men, the
Red Cross had the extraordinary rec
ord of spending one dollar and one
cent for every dollar contributed to it's
work. The extra penny on each dol
lar was due to the banks, bonds and
other interest paying agencies in
which the money contributed by the
public was placed.
In all its work the Red Cross has
earned reputation for good manage
nent That it's financial matters are
lot less carefully supervised than it's
,ther departments is proven by the
tbove record. What it did well in war
he Red Cross is certain to do even
better in peace, and in its present cam
,aign the public feels that the Red
Cross asks for money with clean
lands.

for the farmer must be encouraged to
grow better crops when he starts his
spring planting and to buy better
livestock for next year showing. The
early winter is good time to start a
fair, for the spirit of the past season
is still fresh and those who have ex-

best to select agencies or individuals
who are themselves interested in the
particular subject they are asked to
cover. The superintendent of each de-
partment should have some knowledge
of his subject; that is to say, q poul-
try raiser, breeder or fancier should be
in charge of that department, for he is
familiar with the subject and general
ly knows others who raise poultry in
his territory. In other words, fair
is a community organization, and as,

leaders in various lines of agricultural
or livestock betterment in their res
pective neighborhoods. Make it ev-

FAR In excess of what the general
estimate has been for the very sim
pie reason that the scheme of gov

of account in the hands of any one
board. By far the greater wealth of
the state Is handled through tn.
state board of affairs although tnat
body has nothing to do with the
Agricultural and Mechanical col
lcgc at saltwater nor the four sec
ondary schools. all those being un-
der the immediate direction OF the
state board OF agriculture.
In making a valuation OF the
property controlled by the state
board of affairs, nothing is given
for the land, which Is neither tax
able or for sale, consequently has
no actual value. In the estimates
herewith appended, only the build-
ings and their contents are taken
into the estimate--in fact Is re-
plica of the estimate made to the
state board OF affairs at the close

retary Byrd OF the board. Wherever
possible the valuation is given. the
appropriation for the biennial
which closes June 80. 1921. Is also
given.
