GRANGE HOLDS INTERESTING
MEETING AT SHENANDOAH
JUNCTION.

Shenandoah Junction Grange held
its annual meeting on last SATURDAY.
in an all-day session at the school
house. at that place. More than 100
were present. with an excellent pro-
gram rendered.
Hon. Gray Silver. the county agent
of Berkeley and Morgan counties: H.
Lott Smith and j. Burns Huvett. of
Jefferson county. were the speak
ers of the day. Mr.. Silver deliver
ed splendid address in the MORN
ing. He traced agriculture from the
early days. when farmers were serfs.
to their present intelligent condi-
ton. Mr.. Silver said that the trouble
with farmers. to large extent. is
their independence. They are the
most independent set of people on
earth.-too much so for their own
good. A group of business men. or
laboring men. will quarrel when they
come into conference, but they
will stay in the meeting until some
results are achieved The farmer.
he said. when things do not go to
suit him. simply washes his hands of
the whole business. goes out of the
meeting and back home to his farm
work. As a result.he has accom-
plished very little along organizing
lines. where others have prospered.
From IL until 2 o'clock the ladies
and the Parent Teacher Association
co-oprated in furnishing an appe-
tizing dinner. After dinner. J. r.
Fryat. county agent for Morgan
county. discussed the citv-ward
movement Of farm youth. He be-
lieved. he said. that the young folks
were more attracted by the social
side of citv life than by the financial
side. and said that the remedy was
to build up the social activities in
the country. For this. county
agent was almost necessary. and was
worth his cost If he did nothing else.
Jefferson county was in an unfav-
orable position in that way, as It had
no agricultural agent. Speaking of
the cost of the county agent. to
which farmers so generally object.
he stated that investigations he had
made had shown that the cost of the
county agent to the individual farmer
was about two eggs per month.
j. W. Eckhardt, Berkeley county
agent, spoke on "What Kills Coop
eration?" The six reasons he as
signed were indifference. bad man.
agement. lack of capital, disloyalty,
misunderstanding. and price-fxing.
II. Lott Smith talked on tubercu-
lin-free areas. and what they meant
to people of this district. Two coun-
ties. he said, could go together in
hiring a veterinarian. who would
keep the county cattle tuberculin
free. after the state veterinarians
had once thoroughly cleaned tuber-
eulosis out of the section at no cost
to the counties except for their
TRANSPORTATION. Mr.. Smith suggested
that the breeders of the two counties
get together in getting action on this
matter. of considerable importance
to all cattle raisers and dairymen.
j. Burns Huyett. of jefferson coun-
ty. connected with the Federal Farm
Loan Bank. detailed the procedure
necessary to obtain federal loans.
and told of the advantages of using
this kin dof credit.

TWO BOYS ARRESTED LAST
NIGHT.

Only a short time ago released
from the reform school at Prunty-
town. on parole, it is said. two al
legged incorrigible youths, of Mar
tinsburg, with criminal inclina-
ton, are again locked up, this time
charged with a more serious offense
and one that may land them behind
the prison bars instead of being re-
turned to the reform school. FLOYD
Birkitt. aged 20. and another young
man, perhaps two years younger.
were apprehended in Charles Town.
on Monday night. after Sheriff j. C..
McKnown, of Berkeley county, had
sifted out leads from the recent rob-
berry of the London Shop of that
place II was no trouble to secure
a confession from the boys, it is
said. and they are now in the Mar
tinsburg jail pending disposition of
their cases by Prosecuting Attorney
H. E. Hannis.
Monday night Sheriff McKnown
drove to Front Royal, but the bows
had left on a Norfolk and Western
train scarcely half an hour before
the officers reached the Virginia
town. Martinsburg officers and
deputy sheriffs were notified to
watch incoming trains. also Chief
of Police James A. Smith, of Charles
Town, was requested to watch the
Norfolk and Western train. Leaving
the station to walk back up town
Policeman Smith was greetd by the
Burkitt boy, was was at once placed
under arrest. and the other boy
caught as he endeavored to flee
through crowd leaving the movie
picture house.
After the lads were taken to Mar
tinsburg they confessed. They wore
one of the sheep wool-lined top
coats, silk socks, belts, caps and the
stolen shoes and shirts. Each had
one of the stolen suit cases filed
with shirts and hose and a suit of
clothes. also one Of the overcoats.
They declared this was all of the
loot they had taken. and denied hav-
ing another accomplice.
Birkitt formerly lived in Charles
Town. and created a sensation sew
eral years ago by running wild over
roofs of houses on West Washing
ton street one night, when officers
were trying to capture him for a
minor offense.
