OF IMPORTANCE.

The great inroads being made on
the growing timber in the United
States should be of concern TO all
its people. In few years timber
will be scarce. This is as true in
Grccnbricr county as in other parts
of the country. Nothing better
could be done with some of tie steep
hillSidcS and rough lands in Green
bricr county than to reset them in
trees. l-ocustS, walnut. hickory
and other timber. This would be
one Of the biggest assets to future
generations and it would to no great
extent Interfere with grazing. If
it did the loss could be made good
in the intensive farming of fewer
acres and turning some of the agrl.
cultural land into grazing at Il great
gain. This is no mere theory but
plain cold facts. They are worth
serious consideration.

WE'LL SEE.

The old Weather Phrophcts are
already forecasting a hard winter
and various reasons for it. TO start
with the last two or three winters
have been so mild that it is more
than likely we will pay for it with
weather extremes the other way
But the PrOgnoSticalOrS are telling
about how thick the corn huSk is
this fall: and that the bark on the
north side Of the tree is thicker
than usual. The squirrels are very
busy storing away an unusual
amount Of nuts and winter forage
The groud hog is digging his hole
Gccpcr than usual; the ants are
working over time dragging in grass
hOppcrS and other lOafcrS to feed

knit socks will be in demand.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

-Four hundred and thirty years

*incc Columbus discovered Amcri
ca. Many and varied events have
taken place within that time. This
event took place in modern times
but within the span Of the four
hundred years the world has been
rcvolutiOnized over and over again.
Our nation was not established un-
til two hundred and eighty four
years after Columbus landed on a
small island in the Atlantic Ocean.
AS nation we are only in our 10th
year and most Of the worlds great
advancement has been within that
period. 1t is intensely interesting
to look back over the past and see
what has been accomplished and
how great things are before us for
immediate accomplishment. With
in that time all great advancements
for liberty have been made and one
of the great achievements to be
learned is how to take care of that
liberty. Within that time most of
the worlds material development
has been made and one of the great
achievements to be learned is how
to spend and use that wealth.
Most all States in the union celc
bratcd yesterday as Columbus Day
and is well if they kept i'm mind thc
great lessons presented by the o.
currcnce.

PROPOSED MEDICAL SCHOOL.

The need Of Il full four yca,.
course in medicine at West Virginia
was strongly emphasized II, the first
fall meeting of the University mcdi
cal society at MOrSantown al which
Dean John Simpson and other mem
'bcrs OF the medical staff gave talks.
The demand for physicians who
would serve in the country was
particularly emphasized. 1t was
mdde evident that this need of
country physicians would never be
fully met until the State University
offered a full course in medicine.
"Thc rural communities need you
and it is to be hoped that many Of
you will 60 into the country and
help these people. The life of a
doctor is devoted to service and out
in the country is where you can ac-
complish more good than anywhers
else"
In connection with the discus
sion of full medical course came
the consideration of locating large
modern medical hospital at Morgan
town to take care not only of the
hospital wcr,. necessary for a medi :
cal college but also to accommodate
the community's need.
With this in view strong efforts
will be made to establish such a
hospital in the near future and along
with it start the foundation of a
complete medical course. such as
the University is now needing.

CEDDES ATTACKED in
HEATED DISCUSSION
ON PACIFIC TREATY
Shields Charges British Ambas-
sador With Influencing
the Californians.
PREDICT FINAL VOTE
ON PACT NEXT FRIDAY
Robinson Starts Oratorical Field
Day With Demand Against
Secret Diplomacy.
NV The Associates Pr.ss,

WASHINGTON, March 1s-The whole
field controversies centering about the
arms conference was reviewed anew In
the Senate today during an all day de-
bate on the four power Pacific treaty.
For the first time since early in the
week the treaty's supporters joined bat
tie directly with its irreconcilable oppo-
nents, and a score of senators and fully
as many issues of the treaty fight were
drawn into the running cross fire of argu-
ment.
Pledge Against Secrecy
Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkansas,
started the field day of oratory with a
speech supporting his amendment to
pledge the four signatory powers against
secret diplomacy. Senator Johnson, re-
publican, California, asked why the
F'ranco-Japanese alliance as well as the
Anglo-Japanese alliance had not been
terminated by the four power pact.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, joined
in with an assault on the Shantung set
tlement as an example of the sort of
diplomacy with which he said the United
States should not associate itself.
The manner IN which THE treaty was
negotiated, the charge that insufficient
information had been supplied the Sem
ate, and the failure to include outside
powers in Pacific conferences involving
their interests all were among the ques-
tions debated
Geddes Attacked
One new issue was raised by Senator
Shields, democrat, Tennessee, who de-
ciared that the British ambassador, Sir
Auckland Geddes, had been quoted in a
speech in Los Angeles as virtually say
ing that a war in the Orient had been
ayerted by negotiation of the new treaty.
Senator johnson Immediately inquired
since when the ambassador had been
making speeches to Califorians in sup
port OF the treaty and Senator Robinson
declared that If it were true Japan had
been preparing to attack American pos
sessions in the Pacific, it would be hard
for him TO support either the four power
or naval treaty.
Tonight 1t was considered likely that
discussion will continue until final vote
is taken Friday.
