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. ,

G. 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.

The quarterly meeting of the
W. M. U. which was held at
Dudley Church Nov. 26, was one
of the most interesting meetings
ever held. The splendid music
by the Dudley Choir, was soul
stirring and enjoyed by all. The
programme was beautifully rendered)and
the ladies from the different
societies made many interesting
talks. 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.
