FARM BEREAU

The County Agent has had little
to attend to office work lately on &C
count Of pressing field work, and will
therefore be compelled to take most
of next week for office work. There is
to be one Farm Club meeting, how
ever, at Pleasant Hill on Thanks
giving evening unless postponed bv
local announcement, The Pleasant
Hill Farm Women's Club meets with
Mrs. Marvin w. Moore on that after
noon
Pierre Acid Not Available Now.
West Virginia was allotted one car
load of war material in the way of
explosive and it was announced in
July that we could get picric acid at
reduced rate but no orders came in
and the car was not made up. The
County Agent received one order for
100 pounds when this order was sent
in we were informed that we were
too late to get the allotment. Far
mers should consider in advance what
they are in need of and save money
thereby, and lose no time by having
to wait for material. However,
dynamite should be secured at $25
per hundred, which is slightly more
than the acid would have cost
A Good Citizen
One of the most progressive far
mers in certain community appro-
ached the County Agent last week
and asked why his community could
not be given meeting during the
Farm Bureau week. He told the
Agent that he had been tainted by
farmers in another community that
his community did not believe in GER
tain principles of farming, and his
community was not farming like
certain other localities, etc. This far
mer wants his community to be reck-
oned as ore of the most progressive
communities in Barbour, but he has
difficulty in enlisting the support and
sympathy of his community for this
work. The County Agent listened
with an attentive ear and later tried
to call Morgantown and try to ar
range a meeting in this farmers
community but the call could not be
put thru in time to make the arrange
ments.
Madamus Granted
The County Agent Use informed
that the Circuit Court has entered
an order of mandamus against the
County Court in regard to the en-
ployment of a County Agent.
Boys And Girls Clubs
All of the first months reports for
Boys and Girls Clubs should be
sent in at once.

name is not in the local column
of the newspaper? Yes we see
him daily he thinks that he is so

him up about it. Most of this

Americans Find Armenlans Victims
of Circumstances, not Beggars

The Arm enian
government would
soon be able to work
out its own saliva
ton If it could en-
joy a brief period
OF peace, in the opin-
ion Of an American
Commission which
has just returned
to the United States
after an exhaustive
survey of the situa-
ton in the Levant.
This Commission,
which was sent out
by the Near East
Relief, made a per-
s-onal inspection OF
conditions from
Syria to the Cauca-
sus Mountains. In
addition, the reports
OF relief workers
who have been long
on the field and OF
government officials
carefully examined.
"In TIL ose few
districts where the
Armenian has been
able to live in peace
he has thoroughly
dem on strated his
ability to care for
him S elf an his

secretary OF the re-
lief organic a tion,

Commission.
Naturally ifidus-
trious, with an in

BONAR LAW URGES ULSTER ID AGREE
 ON IRISH TREATY

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The event of the day in connection with the Irish settlement was the decision of An drew Bonar Law, Unionist, former government leader in the house of commons and one of the strong men on the Ulster side. to accept the treaty, and, if not to invite Ulster to come into the settlement, at all events to counsel acceptance of the boundary commission, which the Mars of Londonderry, in the house of Lords, hinted Ulster might re- ject.
 Mir. Bonar Law. had been confi- dently relied upon by the Die Hards" to support Lord Carson, in opposing the treaty, or. at the worst. to remain neutral. His speech has taken much of the force out of the Carsonite attack and is considered to have insured ratification of the treaty.
 The vote is expected to be taken in both houses of parliament tomorrow afternoon, and the most important incident in tomorrow's debate is likely to be Lord Birkenheads reply to Lord Carson.
 Winston Spencer Churchill. secre- tary for the Colonies, and Herbert H. Asquith in the house of commons | warmly defended the treaty, the for mer premier however, utterlng 6 warning to beware of "the malignant genius lowering over all Irish af- fairs"
 yiscount Bryce. in the House o1 Lords, admitted that the treaty was l imperfect in form. but contendec 1 England was generous enough to try | the experiment in responsibility o1 | it's own administration on Ireland | When the commons adjourned | Austen Chamberlain, government l leader, in reply to questions, admitted l that it was undesirable that parlla'
 nent should be prorogued before th' result of the decision at Dublin wal known: therefore it might be neces sarv that the session be carried int next week. But he declined to admi 1 that the house ought to wait for tn l Dublin decision before voting on tn 1 question of ratification. On the con 1 trary, he thought the house ought t | express its view without waiting TO l inc Dali, therefore the &ouse woul' sit tomorrow and long as might b
 necessary.
 The Dail is making little progres
 with Dublin.
 Sir James Crais's official rejec
 ton of the treaty has not now bee
 published. In his letter the Ulste
 premier declares that all the govern
 ment's pledges to Ulster have bee
 violated. and that it seems that Fl
 ster will not be able ever to enter, tn
 Irish free state. He is coming t
 London, probably to consult tn prime minister again, and it is pos sible that he had knowledge of MT } Bonar Laws attitude.

Big Three Agree On
 American NaUy Ratio
CContinued from Page
Sub Policy unsettled

The question of naval ratios for France and Italy naturally takes precedence over other naval matters still undetermined. Beyond it lie, however, problems of submarines, which Great Britain will raise as an issue of world naval policy; appor- tionment of aircraft carrier tonnage, in which Japan has indicated an in tense interest; determination Of methods for scrapping 6S capital ships of the three powers, aggregat- ing 1,861,643 tons; proportionate al- lowances for other auxiliary craft; decision as to limitation of merchant men for war use, and other less i'm portant questions.
 Apparently the decade naval holi- day is settled, so far IS the three ma jor powers can determine it. Nec- essity for continuing some capital ship building for economic and en- gineering reasons was one of the first objections advanced in British circles to the original American proposal The announcement to the committee of fifteen said in that connection:
 ''The naval holiday of ten years, with respect to capital ships, as orig inally proposed by the American gov- ernment, is to be maintained except for permission to construct ships as above stated"
 This was construed as meaning Great Britain's necessities with rela- tion to tapering off in naval con- struction work rather than halting all construction sharply had been met through the addition of two new super r-dreadnaughts.

PROSECUTION RESTS IN TRIAL OF BURCH;; ADJOURN ID MONDAY
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased WIre1


 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15.-The trial of Arthur c. Burch for the alleged murder of J. Belton Kennedy was ad- 5ourned late today until Monday morning. after the prosecution had rested, and defense attorneys an nounced that they had several mo- tions to make and wished time to prepare them.
 The court granted a request that the prosecution be granted the privi lege of reopening its case later to ex- anime a witness who has been i'll. This witness, Mir. Reyes said. is Mrs. James w. Warren of Santa Barbara. Mrs. Warren was a passenger on the train Burch is alleged to have trav- eled on from Chicago to Los Angeles last July, about two weeks before Kennedy was shot.
 The last point scored by the pros ecution today was testimony checking 2 on the distance travelled the night Of the staying by the automobile de- clared to have been rented by Burch on that occasion. Richard Parsons. owner Of the car, testified early in the trial that a hub attachment for regis tering mileage showed the machine travelled A miles.
 Recalled this afternoon, Parsons testified that he drove over the route l declared by the prosecution to have been taken by Burch and that A miles was registered by the attach ment. The trip today was from Los Angeles to a point on a beach road near Santa Monica and return, with two trips up a side road to Beverly Glen, where Kennedy was slain. The witnesses testified they saw Burch | drive through the glen both before and after the shooting, and two oth- i CTS testified they saw him on the | beach road between the times fixed ! for his visits to the glen.
