HOW DOUGLAS SPENT
 N[W YEARS SEASON
lDouglas Inlernati,nall


 Mrs. Anna Dyer and Miss Marion Roche entertained at a dinner New Years evening. Plates were spread for eight Mrs. Dyer Is one of the older teachers in the Douglas schools, and probably never took up a course of domestic science. but the dinner oolld not prove it, either against her or her younger sister hostess. The turkey was a little brown mountain Of light and shad- ow as some mountains are when the sun shines upon them from the clouds. and the salad and dessert were as good as Mrs. Dyer's stories. That is the lest sauce, as well as the lest compliment that could be applied to the dinner. After coffee it developed that only Miss Roche Is native daughter, and of the oth- CT seven guests all come from diff ferent states in the union. But the Mason and Dixon line q not divide them on the general verdict that they had had a good time
 O O
 No special recognition was given New Years Day in Douglas except ing in the churches, where, while the services were not of formal nature. they all took on the flavor and the color Of the season. The music was appropriate to the day, and the sermons dealt largely with a discussion of the successes and disappointmenls of the past year and the amb tious hopes for the new.
 Several of the business houses closed their doors yesterday at noon, and the banks generally ob- served the day. The postohice had regular holiday hours. The old GUS tom of the ladies keeping open house and the gentlemen calling in pairs and groups was not observed to any noticeable extent.
 The Elks quietly observed the day to the great enjoyment of the Best People On Earth" who line in Douglas In the afternoon Ladies' Day was observed from two to five. Tea and cake were served the fair sex, Frank Dosn presiding as mas ter of ceremonies. The wives, mothers. sisters, sveethearts, and friends of the antlered herd availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the new home and were roy ally treated.
 A number of the ladies enjoyed themselves playing Bridge while oth- CTS amused themselves and others by their efforts at the pool table
 The Country club also kept open house to it's members.
 Saturday evening, a few homes entertained in the good old-fashioned way. and ushered the old year out and welcomed the new year in.
 At the Gadsden, few young men and their lady friends enjoyed an informal dance. plans of which were made at a late hour, but none the less pleasureable was the afrar.
 Mir. and Mrs. Samuel War gave an English party in honor of the anniversary of their sons twenty first birthday

MILLIONS WASTED BY HE
 FARMERS BURNING FLAX STRAW

h the Drodiga waste of flax straw, ter million tons of which ae- oording to the department of agricul- ture are burned every year on the farms Of this country, there is marked analogy between the position of many western farmers of today and the southeri planter before Eli Whitney evoled his c1ton gin in 1793. Up to that time, colt n, now king of the worlds textile industry, had little apparent value, as flax straw now has on many farms IL took 6 whole day to separate the seed from one pound of the clean white slab.e. making its cultivation for commercial usese an impractic- able and expensive business enter prise in which few planters dared to embark So little cotton was rais- ed in the states south of Mason and Dixon's line that the british customs officials. thinking they were being deceived by false invoices, seized the first eight bales of it entering Liver pool in 17S4, on the ground that such a quantity could Tt have been raised in this country in a single year. l. is difficult to conceive this in the face of the figures fer ths year. which indicate a harvest Of approximately 11.5O6.OOO bales
 To Whitney, the south owes it's present predominance in this field. His invention aside from helping to pay or the souths debts has enabled It to develop an industry which to- day produces a product cf an az gregate annual value of $S0O,00O.0oO and has given Uncle Sam s7,000. .000- 900 the best of it ia the intentional balance of trade for 100 years.
 We are the largest producers of flax, but singular as it may seem, Russia, which is third in point Of flax growing importance. supplies the etraw from which s50.0oo. 900 worth of linen annually imported into this couIt.ry is made in Ireland and Scotland There being no commercial market for most of the crop after it's seed has been extracted western farmers. as a rule, have been forced to burn the straw in order to get rid of 1t

BooTHsvILLE.

The renders Of the West Virginfan
may think that Boothsvllle is on the
back list-as there has not been any
news from, our town for few weeks.
But we are still here and everybody
is doing fine-it is due to sickness An

not noticed our space filled out.
Work in the oil field is somewhat
slack at present and 1t is thought
that perhaps that for the time being
there will be but little drilling done.
There has been several Of the work
men left within the last few days who
have been employed in this field for
quite a while, AMI we are Of the cpi1-
ion that there will be more wells go
down this summer which will prove
to he good producers.
Miss Mollie Savers who has been
sick for some time is slowly improy.

Mrs. G. W. Harr returned from the

where she underwent an operation
and at this writing is getting along
fine.
Mr.. D. o. Carpenter has been quite
sick for few days.
Mrs. Thornton Nuznm had light
stroke of paralysis Friday evening.
Mr.. Roy Nixon had $25AOO horse
killed Friday while loading logs on
his wagon, one of the skids extended
over the wheel to far and when the
log went over on the wagon-the skid
also followed with force striking the
horse on the head which caused in.
slant death.
Mrs. Pat Londen has returned from
Metz where she was called to the
bedside Of her mother who passed
away last Tuesday.
The street car company will be in
our community next week, making
their survey for the line and secur-
ing rightaways, and it surely is a
pleasant thought for the people in
this community to think of that free
trolley ride. We are sure that this
will be a much safer way to get over
the pike on Boothsereek in Taylor
county, than to drive over It. II
Taylor county doesn't intend to work
our end Of the pike this year, they
ought to let 1t be known, so there
would be quite an argument settled.
AS the people have been talking OF
donating to the road Of Boothscreek
enough times and labor, especially to
fill up the washouts SO that anyone
can pass in safety and we believe
that the auto people will donate very
liberal to this work as 1t might save
them a large repair bill.
