C., under Postal Act c of March 3, 1879. t t December 1. 1915 ( . - 1 1 lazing has been condemned by about all the colleges and prohib 1 ited by lav\ in most states. This has been done because no good 1 i. 1 r \ . ana mucn narm comes 01 nazing. Hazing was done by grown up boys, "initiating" is done by smaller boys. The forms are different but the principles are the same. If hazing is wrong "initiating" is wrong. More tenants aie moving this fall than any fall in several. This is not an encouraging sign of progress along agricultural lines. Farms should be leased for longer periods of time. The old idea of moving every year or two is a bad one. Rich soils can not be made by tenants who farm, if it can be called farming, with no thought of bettering the condition of the soil for the next crop. Those who rent for one year at a time naturally try to get every thing possible out of the land and give no thought to , the permanent improvement of ( the soil. They can't see the ^ need of stable manure, because thev only get results from a portion of what they use. They don't care to improve land for somebody else to work. Land j should be leased for 5 or more , years at a stated rental, so that the tenant would be sure of reaping the fruits of his labors without paying additional rent. It is not fair to charge a man j rent for improvements he makes himself. , ?1 ?Of Shute. Lancaster News. Mr. James D.

H. Watts I ireece and Entente Upon Cor- 1 dial Basis 1 London, Nov. 25.?Cordial re- i ations between Greece and the ntenta powers have been estabished with the Greece govern nent's assurances that no attempt 1 vill be made to interfere with J he allies' troops should they un, ler any contingency be forced o cross the Greek frontier and hat, as heretofore, railway and ather facilities will be afforeded them. That the assurances and the guarantees are satisfactory to the allies is shown in the fact that Greek grain ships which had been held up at Malta have been a very serious shortage of destinations, relieving what would have been a verv serious shortage of bread supplies it their detention had been prolonged. It is understood that the allies have also promised Greece a monetary indemnity after the war for any damage which might be done through the occupation of Greek territory. With this thorny question out of the way the British public has centred its interest upon the at titudeof Roumania and the inter ventton of Russia- It is well established that Russia has concentrated a great army neBr the Roumanian frontier and dispatches state that a large number of heavy guns have arrived at Adessa from Japan for its use. However, the direction in which this army will move will be dictated by Ihe policy the Rouman Ian government adopts. Berlin shaws some uneasiness but beyond ithat and the statement ofthe Roumanian premier. M. Bratiano, that the relations between Russia and Roumania were never better there is nothing to go on. ?1? 1 1-- * - i i^cany cvciyuouy is trading with C. L. Gulledge at Cjuess, this fall. HTne vf.

Miss Adams the Vice President of the Eastern Division of the W. M. U. was present and made beautiful talks on Brazil and the needs of China. Those who did not hear Miss Adams, missed a treat indeed.
