Value of Diversified
Farming Shown

The farm of E. E. Scott of near
Munford, in Upton county is a dem.
onstration of what can be done when
the old hazardous system of a one
crop farm is changed to diversified
farming, says Agent G. S. Holdings
worth, Jr. This farm which has
been devoted to cotton year after
year, is now terraced, a large acre
age seeded to lespedeza, three acres
to Strawberries, a good acreage of
corn and soybeans, a small acreage
or sorghum, three brood sows with
good litters, four milk cows with
others to be added soon. It can be
called a Give at home" farm with a
safe and sane system of farming in
operation at present.

Freights Must Come
Down, Lowden Holds

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 26.-In an
address here today Frank o. Low.
den, former governor of Illinois said
that the first step toward stabilizing
farm production was to bring trans.
portation charges down to a point
where the farmer could regain the
American market he has lost.
The cost of transportation for
farm products has practically doub-
led what it was before the war, said
Mr.. Lowden, while such products
are now upon a level slightly above
pre-war prices. The farmer, he
said, would be compelled to produce
everything possible upon his land,
which is necessary to the living of
his family. He must revive the old
smoke house A community flour
mill may return again. Even the
spinning wheel and loom, may find
their old places in the farmers
home. Increased freight rates, he
said, had practically deprived the
producers Of mary farm commodi-
lies Of their best markets.

Tips To Parents

The school children of Toronto,
when they were dismissed to the
summer vacation, carried to their
homes a quesionaire which might
well be given to the parents of
school children everywhere. The
QUESTIONABLE read:
do you visit the school to inquire
about your child's progress and de-
pertinent, and see if you can help
the teacher to help the child?
"Do you encourage your child in
respect for teachers and others in
authority?
"Do you send your child to bed
in time, so that he will be rested and
fit for study?
"Do you provide plain, nourishing
food and see that your child is up
in time to eat a good breakfast?
do you teach your child to read
the papers and find out the best in
them, and do you encourage an in
terest in public affairs?
"Do you aviod gossip and the tell
ing of incidents which they may
misinterpret before your child?
"Do YOU encourage helpful con-
versation at table?
do you interest yourself in your
child's sports, amusements and
friendships?
"Do you comply with the rules Of
public health in your home, and do
you keep in mind the fact that while
the school may do much to instill
right principles, your children are
handicapped if you do not support
it by instilling obedience and high
ideals of patriotism and personal
life?" AM

Bidding for Game Be

MoRGANTOWN, Dec. lot is
rumored here in University athletic

for the Washington and Lee-West
Virginia football game next fall. In
view Of the fact that this game has
been regarded as a Charleston fi1.
ture the rllmor caused considerable
comment on the street, especially
because since 1t seems 10 have come
from an official source.
A Huntington citizen who states
that he represents a group OF promi'
nent Huntingtonians SAYS that II
the game is scheduled for that city
a stadium seating twenty thousand
people will be provided.
1t is known that SO far as the
university Is concerned, Huntington
would be as desirable a site for the
game as Charleston, and, in fact,
there was an understanding with
the powers that be- some time ago
that the annual down.state game
would be a~lternated between Hunt
ington and Charleston. Nothing def
nite could be learned here this
morning, but it seems certain that
Huntington is under consideration
and there is every reason to believe
that Charleston is not going to have
a monopoly OF the down.state attrac-
ton. The university has a large
following in Huntington and the
MountaineeTs have continually been
urged to play there, but the pres
