PRESENT LAW
Concerning Coal Land Sales
is Questioned by Cen
eral Smith.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-of interest
to the coal operators Of West Virgin
ia may be the attitude of George
Otis Smith, director of the United
States geological Survey, in regard to
coal land Legislation. Mr.. smith
questions the wisdom Of the present
law limiting the quantity of coal
land which may be sold to an indi-
vidual to 100 acres. He says;
The fixed charges Of a modern
coal mine SO equipped as to safe
guard life and property and to Sc
sure maximum recovery are too high
to be assessed against the tonnage
of 50 small a tract. The homestead
law expresses the spirit Of American
institutions in that it has encour=
aged every citizen to own a home,
but there is neither sentiment nor
sense in a proposition to sell at a
low price 100 acres of coal land to an
Indlvidual-every citizen does not
need to own o coal mine"

Two Charges Of Dynamite
Are Exploded in Road
Near City Plant.
DWELLINGS DAMAGED
Objection by Residents is Be-
ieyed to Have Some
Connection.

What is believed to have been an
attempt to damage the city crema-
tory at Point Comfort by exploding
heavy charges Of dynamite, was per-
petrated a short time before mid
night Monday b. three unknown
men.
If this was the purpose the at.
tempt was a failure as the crema-
tory escaped damage Of any kind but
the explosions were SO violent as to
smash windows and doors Of several
dwellings along the river road be-
low the crematory Two charges OF
the explosive we're fred. the second
about fifteen minutes after the first,
in the road about 100 feet from the
crematory..
Windows were broken and door
torn from Its hinges at the home
of Lester. Banks and number OF
windows were broken in other other
dwellings farther down the road.
A short time before the first shock
three men were seen running down
the road away from the scene of the
explosion.
This is the second attempt to
damage the crematory by firing ex-
plosives, one having been attempted
with like failure a year or more ago.
1t is believed that the reason for.
not setting OF the dynamite nearer
to the plant is that there was fear
of killing the keeper. Residents OF
that section object to the operation
of the crematory there and 1T is sus-
pected that this objection may have.
some connection with the dyna-
hitting tan Investigation, will be
made by authoritiesll y rl .

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
BOY SCOUT MERIT SYSTEM.
Lads Good Deeds Are TabuIated In
Orange, N. J.

Il. NJ. Jacobus, scout master in Or
ange, N. j., has devised merit sys-
TEN by which record is kept of the
good deeds and the misdoings of boy
scouts. 1t has worked successfully
with Jacobus and has inspired the
boys to be more careful in their con-
duct. Mr.. Jacobus describes his sys-
tenn as follows:
"A merit and dcmerit system has
been put in force in the troop. TO be-
gin every member has Il hundred merit
points to his credit. Thereafter If he
breaks any of the troop laws, scout
laws or acts in way unbecoming
scout he will have Il certain number of
points deducted for each offense. Any
member getting rs low rs twenty-five
points will have to come before the
troop council. the members of which
decide what punishment he is to re-
ceive. On the other hand. any member
doing something worthy receives a GER
tain number of points. All points of
merit or demerit are to be decided by
the scout master. whose decision in ev-
cry case is final. The member having
the highest number Of points to his
credit will receive a prize at the end of
each three months. Among the offenses
for which demerits are given are swear
ing. talking while in ranks. disrespect
to officers of the troop. latcness or alb
sence from meetings. failing to assem-
BILE promptly when call is sounded:
among things for which merit points
are given. regular attendance. bringing
in new members. good appearance in
dress. special acts of merit
