NEWSPAPER CIVILIZATION.
Commissioner Harris's Report Concern
ing the Country's Schools.

The annual report of DR.. W. T
Harris, commissioner Of education
says that % per cent of the popula-
tior of the United States attend
school during some period of the
year. The average period OF attend
ance in the year, however, is only SO
days for each pupil The report says
1T would seem to be the purpose
of our system to give in the elemen-
tary schools to every child the abil-
ity TO read. After he leaves school
he is expected to continue his edu
cation by reading the printed page
of newspaper and book. The great
increase of public Libraries in the
United States IS significant of pro.
gress toward the realization Of this
ideal. In 1892 we bad over 1000
public Libraries, with more than 900
volumes in each The schools teach
how to read; the libraries furnish
what to read
But far surprising the libraries
in educative influence are the news
papers and magazines. We are gov
erned by public opinion as ascertain
ed and expressed by the newspapers
to such degree that o6r ciyiliza-
tion is justly to be called newspa
per civilization. The library and the
newspaper are our chief instrumen-
talities for the continuation of the
school and the university. Lecture
courses, scientific and literary asso-
Citations are assisting largely. The
work in the churches of the land is
an even more potent factor in school

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA.
A Discouraged Invalid Restored to
Health and Happiness.

Catarrh of the stomach causes q
condition known as dyspepsia or in.
digestion. 1t usually results from ca
tarrh in the throat, but sometime;
occurs in people who have never had
catarro elsewhere. The symptoms OF
dyspepsia are: liver complaint, bilious
ness, sour stomach, water brash,
bloating after eating, constipation,
piles, and in many cases, low spirits,
dizzy head sympathetic heart palpita-
ton, pain, indigestion, and looseness
of the bowels. Pe-ru-na and Mama
lin, taken according to directions on
the bottle, will cure every one. The
following is a specimen of the letters
received from patients.

writes: -Four years ago last fall my

The Crop of Snake Stories all safely in

Greene county don't take back
seat for any of them when it comes
TO snakes. Some people around here

the river, is. This story comes from
there:

which was dug fifty years ago, has

Half way down the young man

his father and brother to hoist away

alyzed with fright, saying the well
was alive with snakes almost from
top % bottom. Lights were lowered
and most hideous spectacle reveal

ards and toads were there, too, in
abundance, and the black hole, ami
mate with creeping and crawling
life, was an appalling sight even for
the sturdy, sober Mannings The
people who have been using the wa

Of the snakes, If possible, and will
blast out the rocks that surround
the well, in hope that they maybe
exterminated.

The Value of Minutes.

A party of ladies and gentlemen

them over the different floors of the

of the staircases they came to 8

a shrug of his shoulders, but our

nothing special to be seen, nor is
there any question of trade secrets
The reason why admission is for
hidden to strangers is simply be-
cause every woman naturally looks
up, and her attention is distracted
from her work for from one to five
minutes. Surprising, now, each
woman wastes a couple of minutes
in this way, that will make the case

who has watched over them with
kindness and fostering care during
the year that has passed they should

On that day let our ordinary work
and business be suspended. and let
us meet in our accustomed places of
worship and give thanks To AL
mighty God for our preservation as
a nation, for our immunity from
disease and pestilence, for the bar
vest that has rewarded our hus-
bandry, for renewal of national
prosperity, and for every advance in
virtue and intelligence that has
marked our growth as a people.
And with our thanksgiving let us
pray that these blessings may be
multiplied unto us that our national
conscience may be qdiekened to a
better recognition of the power and
goodness of God, and that in our ma
tional life we may clearer see and
closer follow the path of righteous
ness.
And in our places of worship and
praise as well as in the happy reun-
ions of kindred and friends on that
day, let us invoke divine approval
by generously remembering the poor
and needy. Surely He who has
given us comfort and plenty will
look upon our relief Of the destitute
and our ministrations Of charity as
the work of hearts truly grateful
and as proofs Of the sincerity OF our
Thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of
the United States, which l have
caused to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
on the first day of November, in the
year of our Lord eighteen hundred
and ninety four, and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the one
hundred and nineteenth.

More Oil at Mount Morris.

Every once in while Mt. Morris
hobs up with more oil news. The
latest is that oil was struck by the
Dunkard Oil Company at we'll No.
2, on the Lot Mcclure farm, mile
and one half northeast of Mt. Nor
ris, on Tuesday At present it is
making better showing than No. A,
on the Mary Mcclure farm. This
territory was condemned few years
ago but now promises to be pro.
ductiye extension of the Mt. Morris
oil field. The company is composed
of citizens of Mt. Morris, and they
have enough territory to make a
fortune for them, judging from the
present outlook. The same company
are starting the drill at a new well
on the Frank Long farm. They de
serve credit surely for their pluck "a
developing this territory in the face
of much encouragement. 1t is said
that Mr.. Mcclure has been offered
$4,000 by another company for q
lease on half of his farm, which
hasn't been taken.

Haunted!

a haunted house in these practical
and unromantic days is something of
rarity, but an individual haunted
with the idea that his ailment is in
durable is a parsonage frequently met
with. Disbelief in the ability Of med
icine to cure is only mild form OF
monomania, although in some cases
repeated failures to obtain relief from
many different sources would almost
seem to Justify the doubt Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has demonstrated its
ability to overcome dyspepsia, consti-
patton, liver and kidney trouble, ma
larial complaints and nervousness, and
its recorded achievements in the GU
ratiye line ought at least to warrant
its trial by any one troubled with
either of the above ailments, even al
though his previous efforts to obtain
remedial aid have been fruitless.

Long. and Painted Like n Flower,


The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part Of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
cd throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendOus
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many

engrayings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

WEST VIRGINIA FINANCES.
The State Treasury in Healthy COndi-
ton.

On October l, there was a bal
ance in the State Treasury of 1928
567.67. The figures making up this
amount are as follows: State fund,
$127,13S,36, for general purposes
general school fund, $313,6S3 40;
the irreducible school fund, 1922,
745.91. This latter represents only
small part of the irreducible school
fund, as about 100000 is loaned
out or invested in bonds. This fund
is made up and added to yearly by
the proceeds from the sales of delin-
quent lands, or the redemption Of
the same; property which is not
willed and to which there is no heir

tions, etc.

Mary and her Lamb.

Many of our readers are familiar
with the story of the fondness OF
Mary for her little lamb, that @fol-
lowed her to school one day." hut
all of them may not know that there
really was such Mary and such a
lamb, The original Mary was Mrs.
Mary f. Tyler, who was still living
at Somerville, Mass, some years ago
hale and vigorous at the age Of 50.
She raised the lamb from its birth,
its mother having deserted it, 1t
followed her everywhere she went"
and finally died in her arms, having
been gored by COW.
Mrs. Tyler did not write the now
famous verses; three of them were
written by John Roulstone, who
lived in the neigbhorhood, and the
other two were afterward added by
Mrs. Townsend. Mrs. Tyler knit
two pairs of stockings from the fleece
of her lamb, and these stockings in
later years were unraveled and sold
in small bits, tied To card with
Mary's autograph on it, at fair
held for the benefit of the Old South

in a grocery store one evening re-
Gently when the grocer pointed to a
half barrel of small beans and asked
how many of them it would require
to make bushel
Various estimates were offered.

down at $4,000. which occasioned a
laugh from all the others, who had
guessed much lesser quantity,
ranging all the way fro m 5000 to
10000.
swell, gentleman remarked the
grocer, you are all wrong. There
are approximately 10000 beans in
a bushel."
No one was inclined to believe
him until he showed them that it
took so beans, selected at random, to
weigh half an ounce. The rest OF
the calculation was simple.
"Now, then,' said one of the par
ty, "since we are engaged in guess
ing contests, how many dollar bills
would it take to weigh as much as a
silver dollar2"
One said 100, another said rs,
while the grocer, who knew all
about beans, put the figures at 300.
"All wrong" remarked the man.

Cause Of the Hard Times.

Perhaps one reason of the hard
times is that so many Republican

means of support, every one of whom

seem harder than they really are. II
there is any living creature that can
make more noise than Republican
offlce-holder after he has been shaken
loose from the public teat. it is a Re

get hold. The two together produce
"a calamity howl that would put q
