w. VA. UNIVERSITY TO
MEET WESLEYAN

One Of the most important base
ball games of the. collegiate season
will be played in Buckhannon next
Saturday, April 21st, when West vir-
ginia University meets West Virgin
ia Wesleyan in the first game Of a
three game series. The two teams
will meet in Morgantown on May IL
tn for the second game and at Fair
mont on May 18th for the third. The
Methodists have won their opening
games and likewise the Mountain
GERS have succeed in downing all op-
position to date. Both teams should
be In fine fettle for Saturdays en-
counter.
West Virginia for the past three
years has come to the front in base
ball, taking the diamond honors a.
way from Wesleyan, and in addition
has won the tri-state pennant for
three years straight. The Noun
taineers coached by "Rat" Rogers,
former West Virginia grid and dia-
mond star, have one of the best
teams this year that has ever re-
presented the State University. Wes-
leyan is rebuilding her athletics, and
under the coaching of Kelcel Ross,
the 1923 baseball team is said to be
a very promising one.
In the early games played by both
teams, hitting has been heavy. Sat-
urday's game will likely be featured
with some good batting. In the Du-
quesne University Mountineer game,
the Dukes were forced to use all the
hurting talent they had, and then
could not stop the University swat
tribe. Against Fairmont Normal the
Methodists lashed four different
hurlers for nine innings with no men
out.
Shell Johnson Of Grafton will UNI
pire Saturdays game.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

All seniors are required to have
their work completed to date so that
those who are qualified may have
their diplomas ordered.
The representative who were
sent to Morgantown to the Literary
Contest held by the State Univer-
sity were unsuccessful, but we feel
it was better to have tried and fail
ed than never to have tried at all.
The Barbour County School Rally
Day was a success in spite of the
rain. Among the different activities
were the two basket ball games. The
Belington boys won, while the girls
lost.
The Vo-Ag class under the direct
ion of Mr.. Kelley is planning to
build West Virginia type chicken
house for Mr.. dennis. The blue
print and small model of the house
can be seen in the Vo-Ag class room
at any time.
The time for the purchase of gar
den and fruit spray material is at
hand. The Vo-Ag department can
give the people of the community
blue stone or blue vitrol for ~ cents
per pound. Better still the depart
ment will make the stock solutions
for Bordeaux mixture and lime sui
phur sprays at the rate of 10 cents
per gallon. For the small sum Of
80 cents the patrons and others can
get 40 gallons of the spray mater
ials
Mr.. Rohrabaugh and Miss Pownall
accompanied the two representatives
to Morgantown. Their interest in
Literary work was shown by the
fact that they paid their own expen-
ses.

n the school age should remedy

der the school age should remedy
this.
My community may not be, classed
as community having an abundance
of wealth in dollars and cents, but
with good schools it may obtain a
greater wealth. For it has been
said and New England has proven
that the school is the greatest wealth
producing agency in the world, be-
cause it develops and furnishes with
power and purpose that greatest in
strument for creating wealth-the
human mind. The wealth of the
world, both material and spiritual,
is in the possession Of the nations
who spend most on their schools.
Education produces good citizens,
insume national poogress, national
progress reacts favorably on other
nations and peoples. Thus educa-
ton by improving my community
and other communities renders the
world more desirable home for
mankind.
