THERE IS NO ROOM

|
twenty years ago a man and hi
wife were told at the inn il
Bethlehem, There is no room. ;
And the world S. saviour, He VIII,
came that man might have lifl
more abundantly, was born in
manger. Inspired by his message
men have laboured that each
succeeding generation might have
life more abundantly than the
preceding one. And yet in 1927
North Carolina was guilty, un.
consciously perhaps but guilty
nevertheless, of saying to one out
of every four of her applicants
for higher education "You can.
not have a higher education,
there.is no room. F." Further there
will be thirty five hundred boys
and girls in 1921 who will be
prepared for college, and unless
further provision is made only
those who are already prepared
may be taken care of. What will
the thirty five hundred do?
Have we a right to allow such
a situation to continue to exist?
If our youth desires a college
education have we a right to say
There is no ROOM? We believe
in democracy. But democracy is
futile without an intelligent
citizenship. The vote is not a
safeguard but a danger in the
hands of the ignorant. We believe
with increased vigor that all
men should be given opportunity
for development. No boy or girl
should have the door shut in his
face with the cry, There is no
opportunity for you.'
Conditions in our state universi-
ty are appalling. Rooms built for
two hold four, and the triple

lege for women, this fall, three

admission and one hundred and

from applying. All the colleges
are full. All have turned away

We cannot stand true to our

Central Japan Prosperous.

The people of central Japan, where
some of the principal agricultural dis
tricts are located, appear prosperous
and contented and crop prospects are
favorable due to the fact that the
farmers had money with which to buy
fertilizers and have given their crops
excellent care.
Rice, millet and vegetable crops are
In splendid condition, while the silk
crop is the best in years. Fine, large
cocoons are the result of well fertilized

CANADA BIG WINNIE R
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at lnterna-
tional Live Stock Show at Chi
caoo-carried of Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
erosity of the soil and climate of
western Canada. is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country. at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard TO exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of n total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right 10 rank as a first class agri-
cultural country. but she carried Off
many prizes for cattle. horses. sheep
and hogs, partial list of which fol
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade ShOrthOrns.
also in the College Special class. Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses. Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare, as
well rs first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion. first for one-year-old
ClydesdaIe stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class. Canada OBJ
tnined first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep. Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in ad-
dition 10 first prize In all group
prizes.
Hogs, in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
Championship for best single barrow.
as well as over twenty first. second
and third prizes in other classes of
Yorkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
1t must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses.
of which most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises. but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed. and this
in open competition with the world.
