EXTRA SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE CALLED

CHARLESTON, Sept. A.
Governor John j. Cornwell has
announced that on Monday he
will call an extra session of the
West Virginia Legislature to-
assemble at noon on Tuesday,
September Ia, for the purpose
of amending the registration
and election laws to permit wo-
men of the state to be legally
registered and to facilitate their
voting.
His tentative decision not to
call the session, announced a
few days ago, the governor said,
was based upon his belief that
the registrars would take the
time to ascertain in the list of
all citizens entitled to vote, in
GLIDING the women, prior to the
two days on which they are to
meet publicly this fall, to cor
rect the lists.
An entirely new light was
placed upon the situation by the
opinion of the attorney general,
the governor said, as expressed
in a public address since then,
the attorney general having de-
clared that his construction of
the law was that the women
would have to appear personally
before the registrars on the two
days they meet publicly.
This, the governor said, would
make it impossible for any great
number of women to be regis
tered, and since the opinion of
the attorney general was bind
ing until overruled by the court,
made a session of the legisla-
ture to change the law imper-
alive.

THEIR HIDING

PLACE FOUND
While repairing fence on his
farm near Tunnelton last week
Joe Shrout unearthed from their
long hiding place in a ledge of
rock a box containing fifteen
watches and three cases. Some
robbers, no doubt, had secreted
them there many months before
for safe keeping and later were
unable to find their hiding place
again. The watches were of diff
ferent makes, ranging from In
gersolls to Hamilton and the find
is worth several hundred dol
lars, possibly, as the watches
were seemingly uninjured.-

Tn probably no other part of the United States do ranchers reap such rich returns from cultivation of the soil as in the Glendale district Of the Salt River valley. With the fertila Glendale "Loess" soil, long growing season, unfai1ing irrigation supply and freedom from waterlogged lauds, mild winters and absence of storms, heavy yield of all farm products are obtained in this section.
 Glendale district cotton growers last season averaged three -fourths of a base OF Iorg staple cotton to the acre; two and one-half tons of milo maize to the acre; SO bushels of wheat to he acre: 90 bushels of corn u the sc.ei 800 cio:es of cantaloupe5 to the acre: 300 to 525 crates of lettuce to the acre; 55 sacks of potatoes to the acre. The Glendale district produced the | champion long staple cotton grower of the United States, Ernest A. Leitzel ! who averaged 2S74 pounds of seed cot ton to the acre; over bale and hall of lint cotton per acre. His average
 gross earnings were $6S1 per acre. 1 William Thompson netted s70o pei
 acre from his five acres of lettuce, and
 later planted a cantaloupe crop on tht
 same ground. which brought him il
 around $500 an acre.
 A rancher farming two and a guar.
 ter acres paid the government an in. come tax this year from the proceed.
 received on the products grown on hi! little place just east of Glendale. Hi. years income was over $2300, all reve nue from two and a quarter acres. | Glendale, the commercial center O this rich district increased its popu lation from 140O in 1918 to 2740 accord ing to the 1920 census. The presen population is above 5000. In a singl, year Glendale increased it's high schoo
 attendance 102 per cent, it's gramma
 school attendance 55 per cent, it's wate
 taps 75 per cent, it's assessed valuation
 of local property 100 per cent.
 Because of the great possibilities fl
 this district for wealth, health and con
 tentment, Glendale is one of the mos
 rapidly growing districts in tho grea
 southwest.

Carpenter Class

Carpenter Class
 The boys in the carpenter class have just finished new bookcase for the public library. Also the new tool cabinet for the shop is finished and ready for inspection of all those who are interested in this line of work.
 Freshman Party
 The freshman party given at the high school by that class proved to be a most enjoyable evening to all who attended, and so far as social qualities are concerned the class of 1924 has a good safe lead on any freshman class that has entered the school in recent years.
 Grades Good The grades for the first nine weeks of school were given out last Tuesday, and much smaller per cent of fail- ures was noted than for the same | period last year. This Is due in the main to the much more regular at- tendance on the part of the pupils than in previous years, and the fact that the necessary books have been handled by the school direct from the | publishers.
 Board Given . Tea Tuesday of this week the girls of the home economies department gave | tea to the board of trustees and a l few of the friends of the school, to whom the school has been especially indebted in the past.

low this principle. Furniture should
be selected and placed in a room so
as to make n harmonious whole and
not in regard to the individual place.
Mrs. Hindman had many beanti-
full pictures of correct interiors with
which she illustrated her talk. She
also showed some beautiful eX-
