Notes of the Game.
Legge and K. Mckee led the hitting
for Shepherdstown. Legge secured
two singles out of three times up, and
Kirk got double and single out
of four trips.
Ridings, the Martinsburg catcher led
| the attack for his club with three
singles out of four times at the bat.
Moler led in stolen bases-pilfering
second and third after he had walked
IN the fourth. Tabler stole second in
the second inning.
Willis had everything on the ball
having twelve strikeouts to his credit,
and not issuing single pass.
This evening at $50 the Legion will
play the strong Hose Company No.
from Martinsburg on the local dia-
mond. The time was changed from 8
o'clock to accommodate a large number
OF fans who were unable to attend
the 8 o'clock sessions.
Unless arrangements fall through.
Shepherdstown fans will have an Oh.
portunity to see the Winchester team
that administered a licking to the
Legion team, for negotiations are now
oeing completed for game here next
Thursday. Local "curb managers" as
sert that there will be different story
TO tell when Sandy Bakers profession
ais come to Shepherdstown for re-
turn game. In all probability Brandy
Myers will pitch against the Virginians
During the past three or four years
Brandy was the only hurler that was
able to hold the Winchester sluggers
in check. II he pitches, the Old Do
minion men will likely have tougher
going than they had on their own field
a few weeks ago.
The Shepherdstown team goes to
Boyce, Va, Friday to take on the
Shenandoah Valley League team OF
that place. this being the first game OF
the season with the Virginia team
The game will be PLAYED on Gilpin
Field, and will Start at 3 o'clock,
Little is known of the strength of the
Boyce team, outside of the fact tha.
they are lodged in last place in the
league standing. Baseball is thriving
farther down the valley, however, and
there is every indication that the
Legion team will have to extend their
efforts to the limit to turn in win
over the Boyce team. Either Willis or
Myers will pitch for Sheph .:ds;own.
but there is strong probability that
Kirk Mckee, who held Winchester safe
while acting the role of relief hurl-
er, may soon take the mound again.

During the years 1917 and 1918 the
forest service, cooperating with the
state museum of Colorado, organized
a search for a camp robbers nest
Probably over 500 forest rangers and
woodsmen took part in this search
which resulted in the finding of only

The camp robber is said to be the
embodiment of the souls of dead tie
hacks and the woodsmen believe thai

A gold brick which made the lame

of by Capt. p. II. Mccarthy, Develop

Harrison, Ind, who gets the credit for
introducing the term gold brick into
the army during the val. The unwili

to development" brought the brick
into play.
Innumerable cases of fiat-feet, semi
blindness. and other ailments were
continually reported by reluctant sol
diers Mt the camp. 1t was up to Cap
tain Mccarthy to discover whether
these were ailments or alibls. When
the medical profession failed, the brick

the TACT that fifteen years ago the
bulk of public sentiment against for
est fires was in the East. Today it is
In the West. where 81 per cent of the
remaining timber supply Of the coun-
try is located. Over 81, 00O, 900 acres
OF forest lands that were formerly
covered with timber are logged OF or
burned and completely denuded of
tree growth. The solution of forestry
problems, experts say. lies largely in
ire prevention and ref~orestation.
The National Forests, which con
tain 49S billion board feet of mer-
charitable timber, or 90 per cent of
the remaining timber in the country,
are said to bear an important relation
to an adequate future wood supply
for the nation. These forests are to-
day receiving protection from forest
fires and are being cut to a limited
extent SO as to maintain a continuous
production Of new forests.
The fire loss in the National Forests
was limited in 1921 to 376,208 acres.
A total of 1851 fires occurred; IA per
cent OF which were due to human agen-
cies and could have been prevented
by care on the part of forest users.
The direct loss amounted to s212.1S2
worth of timber and forage destroyed,
and s512,106 was spent by the Forest
service in fighting fires.
Fires in the National Forests of

and California numbered 3.S43 or Go

THE A OF THE
MAJORITY

Alex De Tocqueville, the French
economist. who in the first half Of the
nineteenth century was commissioned
to survey democracy as 1t exists in
the United States. in his comments,
says:
1.-THE greatest danger to liberty in
America is In the omnipotence of the
majority. A democratic power is ne
yer likely to perish for lack of
strength or of resources. but it may
very well fall because of misdirection
Of its strength and the abuse of its
resources. II ever liberty is lost in
America, it will be due to the oppres-
sion OF the minorities which may
drive them to an appeal to arms. The
anarchy which must then result will
be due only to depotism."
Written nearly a century ago. no
thinking man today can consider this
sentiment as less than a prophesy. II
is true the United States has survived
several periods when tyranny of the
majority has seemed almost intoler-
able. but never before has there been
such o derth of defenders of individu-
al rights. The right of personal opin-
ion and its expression is challenged
by the majority. Prescription is ram
pant. In moral questions despotism on
the part of officers of the law is APP
plauded. The courts are filed with
satraps of the intolerant majority.
There is need for an awakening to
| the TACT that our liberties are in Ian
ger. The growth of radicalism has
its origin in the oppression and sup
preston from a government sustained
by a bigoted majority blind to their
own interests.
Since the days Of Adam, the ques-
ton of how far one man is his bro
theirs keeper has been one of contro-
versy. Late years have been charac-
terized by more and more taking over
by organized society of the regulation
of the individuals conduct. Public
| officers, quick to the fact that
the majority stands for a close con-
troll OF Individual actions, have gone
| sled-length in paternalism. Bureau
cracies, far beyond the widest dream
Of a few years ago, have grown up.
The idea of freedom itself has chang
ed from a belief that the individual
is entitled to work out his own desti-
NY with the least necessary govern
ment, to a belief that the ramifica-
tions of government must be infinite
that the Individual may have proper
Freedom" The first belief grew out
of a confidence in democracy; the Sec
ond. whether its supporters will CON
fess Z or No., comes from a vast e's-
trust in democracy.-From Henry
Ford's paper, The Dearborn Independ-
ent.

COMMITTEE ON
INTER-RACIAL
AFFAIRS REPORTS.
Findings Committee Of State Inter
Racial Conference Makes Report
Following Louisville Meet
ing Held Recently.

The Findings Committee wish to put
on records their appreciation of the
optimistic spirit which marked the re-
port OF DR.. James Bond. Field secre-
tary. indicating that great progress
has been made during the past year in
cooperation and good will between the
races.
As an evidence OF this we note that
four new substantial school buildings
have been erected. "The Trend of the
Races" by DR.. George Z. Haynes, has
been studied by groups OF white peo-
pie. Conditions on railroads have been
greatly improved, the officials being
willing TO correct deficiencies when
appalled, to. II 10 also very gratifying
to note that one lynching has been pre-
vented by the prompt action OF the In
ter-Racial Committee.
The Findings Committee recon-
mends that the conference place on
record its conviction,
First That race differences are based
on prejudice. the basis OF which IS
Misunderstanding.
Second: That race friction and false
judgment between the races are hind

RANGES to economics and to ethical and
moral problems which can only be
solved by knowledge on the part Of
both races. This knoledge will best be
attained by a fair and mutual study of
race relations.
Third: Therefore, that courses OF
study of racial problems should not
only be introduced into colleges, but
extended to include courses on Race
Relations in high and normal schools
as well.
Crime. There can be no question
that Righteousness, racial or otherwise,
calls for equal justice and impartial
enforcement OF law in our courts re-
gardless OF race or color. This each
race should call for and support.
To the end that negro districts in
cities may be freed from crime we
urge the appointment of negro police
men for such districts.
We also urge that negroes who, un-
der tha law, are qualified for jury
service be given their full opportunity
thus to serve.
| Further: We recommend that the
press be urged to exercise care to pub
lish impartially violations OF law on
the part OF either race, and also that
1t set before the public an impartial
account OF the meritorious achieve
ments OF both races.
We recommend that constant and
determined effort be made to Judge the
negro not by any traditions OF the past
but by the advance guard who are
looking to the highest possibilities Of
the future. The negro should be judged
not by the disorderly and light minded
OF the race, but by those who arr
trained to meet the issues and bear thu
responsibilities Of life today.

JEFFERSON FLOCK OWNERS
AFTER MORE WINTER EGGS

Louisville, Ky. How to feed, house,
and manage their farm flocks of chick
ems to get the most winter eggs has
aroused considerable interest among
Jefferson county farmers and their
wives during the last few weeks, s. W..
Anderson, assistant county agent of
the county says. The keeping of rec
ords If 25 flock owners in the county
and the organization of two groups of
farmers and their wives for the pur-
pose of studying various details of
poultry feeding. care and management
are among the developments that mark
the new interest, he says.
The records being kept by the 25
farmers are proving to be especially
interesting to chicken raisers of the
county. In addition to keeping records
on their flocks, the 25 persons are
conducting them as demonstrations to
show the value Of a number Of recon-
mended poultry practices, thus max
ing II possible for their neighbors 10
get practical pointers on how to feed
and take care OF their hens for the
greatest egg production.
The number OF hens in the various
flocks ranges from rs to 200 but all
Of them are being fed with the idea
OF increasing their egg production
The keeping of the records began No.
vember and will continue for sis
mt nths. Reports made by the record
keepers on tho number OF eggs thoII
hens are laying showed that about one
third OF the hens In the various flooki
were laying soon after the records were
started. However, II 10 expected tina

work Of prejudice and build construct
i've and we'll founded community life.
We recommend that the better side
Of negro life be studied and published,
and that all organized effort to assert
the power Of good citizenship be en-
phasized and supported.
Negro scholastic committee re-
commends:
First: That a more generous and
substantial appropriation be made by
the State Legislature for educational
purposes, and that the negro be given
his Just and equitable part Of such ap-
preparation.
| Second: That a scale of adjustment
of salaries in city high and normal
schools be adopted which shall re-
move all racial inequality.
Third: That Mr.. p. C. Dix be re-
quested to continue his efforts to work
out a fair and equitable basis for the
accrediting of negro high and normal
schools whereby they may gain en-
trance into the North Central Associa-
ton Of Colleges.
The committee recommends that, in
view Of the recognized difficulty Of
enlisting the cooperation Of the white
people o fthe state in the sessions and
work OF the Inter-Racial Conference,
the white press OF the state be very
earnestly urged to give the conference
its best service to the end that all
white people may be fully informed on
the subject.
Realizing that many white women
have no adequate idea Of the tradedy
of the negro woman's upreach to the
virtu Of purity, we recommend most
sympathetic study of the question.
We recommend that, in every city
and community. comprehensive
Women's Iner-Racial Committee be
formed, consisting of representatives
from such organizations as the various
churches, parent-teachers' associa-
tions, civic clubs, Y. NJ. C. AS, etc.
who will meet for study of local con-
dwitions and such action as may be
needed
We recommend that the greatest
possible emphasis be placed on the
necessity of maintaining an equal in
ter-racial standard OF sexual morality
in all penal and reformatory institu-
lions.
Finally: We recommend that in
every community the distribution OF
facilities for recreation, housing, san
itation, street lighting and other me-
cessities be carefully and righteously
apportioned to both races.
