MANUFACTURING GROWS
FASTER IN THIS STATE
U. S. Census Director Says state Has
Splendid Future in Production Of
Coal and Gas for Cheap Fuel

Coal and Gas for Cheap Fuel
Washington, June 5.-More com
ment has been made from official
source on the fact that West Virginia
is not taking proper advantage of its
opportunities and advantages to be-
come a great manufacturing State.
FREQUENT comment has been made on
this condition in reports of the Geolog-
ical survey, the latest annual report of
the production of coal in the United
States commenting freely upon the
fact that so large part of the natur-
al wealth of West Virginia is shipped
out of the state to enrich manufactur-
ing communities in other states.
The Census Bureau comments mild
ly on the situation in The state, in
bulletin issued today on manufactures
in West Virginia. The substance of
the bulletin has already been printed
so that its figures on the number OF
industries in the State, the number of
their employees and the value OF their
products are not OF special interest
at this time, all having been read in
the state some time ago. However,
this comment seems pertinent The
official bulletin from the Census Blu
reau says: West Virginia is in gener-
al more a. mining than manufactur-
ing State. 1t is especially we'll adapt.
ed, however. to the development of
manufactures"
While the fact that West Virginia
is especially adapted for manufactur-
ing but that it is not so much of
manufacturing State as II is a min
ing State, Is brought out in the bulle-
tin. substantial growth of the manu-
featuring is growing in the State 1t
is also shown that while in 1869 the
proportion of West Virginia's manu-
features to those of the entire coun-
was but one sixth of one per cent,
in 1909 ii had increased TO one eighth
of one per cent.
Rapid growth in manufacturing in
the State is Indicated in the last ten
years, the number of manufacturing
enterprises increasing between 1899
and 1909 from 1924 to 1855. The num-
Der of wage earners increased in the
same time from 33,OS0 to 63.S99. The
value of the products Of the manufac-
turing enterprises increased from $67,-
006,S22 in 1899 to 1851, 949,526 in 1909.
Figures for the manufacturing in
the several cities have hcen given be
fore but the statements as to the
growth in the period from 1899 to
1904 as compared with the period be-
tween 1904 and 1909 are given in the
latest bulletin. The percentages of
increase in value of products for Hunt
ington and Parkersburg were much
greater from 1904 to 1909 than from
1899 to 1904, while those for Wheeling
and Charleston were greater during
the earlier period.

ORIGIN Of THE
NATIONAL
Early Methods of Making
the Nominations Were
Different.
n NOE in four years comes a

~ NOE In four years comes a
q n chance for a comparatively
VI ~ few lucky persons to see the
biggest, noisiest and most ex-
citing thing in American life-a ma
tional convention assembled to nomi-
nate n president OF the United States.
The two great political parties, the
Republican and the Democratic, has
each its own separate show, and they
are held in different weeks. But be-
ing a visitor to a national convention
isn't something any one can be. Quite
aside from the cost of railroad fare to
the convention city and the hotel ex-
penses there, 1t is no easy matter to
get into the convention hall. Admis
sion is by ticket, and the tickets can't
be bought You must know somebody
who has an official part in the con
vention. There will be about 10000
spectators In the convention hall at
Baltimore, though twenty times that
number would be glad to get in If
they could.
Though the United States has had
thirty-one presidents, yet there have
been only eighteen nominating conven-
lions such as are now about to be
held. The present form of convention
was given It's first tryout in 1910. Be
fore that various ways of nominating
were in use.

ATTITUDES IN UNITED STATES
Difference Between East and West
CuriousIy Striking

Curiously Striking
The differences between the east
ern and western elevations in this
country are curiously striking, Colo
RADIO has forty peaks ttat are more
than 400 feet above sea level. Mt.
Washington. in New Hampshire and
Mt. Mitchell, in North Carolina, the
highest peaks in the Appalachian sys-
TEN, north and south, respectively are
considerably less Than half as high as
this above the ocean.
Several transcontinental railway
lines in the West pull their main line
trains over a greater elevation than
that reached by the cog railroad up
New Hampshire's above mentioned
ese Western elevations are
OF course, reached gradually.
Most large cities lie low. Chicago
is only 600 feet above sea level, and
Pittsburg ranges from sea level to a
height in its suburbs of some $500
feet Minneapolis. near the head of
the Mississippi has an elevation of
less 1000 feet, and various parts OF
New Orleans at the Mouth of the
great river are recorded in the govern
ment tables as having elevations of
from one foot to fifty feet. St Louis
lies about halfway between these ter
minal cities
Montana is away up, with its lead
ing city perched at the elevation of
the highest peaks of the Adirondack
Mountains. In Denver there is a mark
near the State Capitol, which is Just
ore mile above sea level.

ming in Presbyterian Church

ming with the annual alumni banquet.
The events of the week began with
the Baccalaureate sermon by Rev. DR..
F NJ. Woods, to the graduating class
in the Presbyterian church Sunday

ed and DR.. Woods preached a most
thoughtful and Interesting sermon to
the class. The graduating class in
caps and gowns, the High school fac.
ulty, Supt w. c. Morton and the
Board of Education occupied front
seats.
This was the first instance of a
graduating class appearing in the time
honored cap and gown in Martinsburg

mended. an example that is sure to be
followed in years to come.
The musical feature of the service
was the duet by Mr. and Mrs. Leon

with pipe organ accompaniment by
Miss Mary C. Stribling.

ever issued here by a high school
class is well edited and contains cuts
OF the four High School classes, the
superintendent of the city schools, the
faculty. the building and campus, in
terror of Assembly Hall etc. The
booklet is from the press of Sprinkle
Bros, this city, and is a fine specimen
OF the printers art.
DR.. Woods Sermon
The following is an abstract of DR.
Woods sermon, having for his theme
What is your life?" based on James
Ala:
The sacred writer rebukes two
forms of sin as manifested in the men
of his day. First is their invasion of
the Divine prerogative in passing
judgement upon their fellow men,
Thus they become judges of the law
and not doors thereof. He also charg-
es them with intruding into Gods
plans in assuming to determine for
themselves the future, in that they
were accustomed to say: To-day or
tomorrow we will go into such a city
and continue there a year and buy and
sell and get gain, whereas ye know
not the morrow" The folly of gamb-
ling thus upon the chances of the ques
ton. what is your life? 1t is even a
vapor that appeareth for little time
and then vanisheth away.
My young friends, you have now
reached that period in your history

TRIES LEFT HANDED TUITION.
School Head Seeks Cause For Failure
of Left Handed Pupils.

George l., Farley, superintendent Of
schools Of Brockton, Mass, is investi-
eating the cause for the failure of the
left handed students TO measure up TO
the standard of his right handed class
mates, for that there is such failure
at least in Brockton appears to be the
fact.
Mr.. Farley was induced to take up
the problem because the first five in a
class of seven boys who failed to at
tain the mental mark Of their fellow
pupils are left handed.
"rhe question arose in my mind" he
said, that the boys deficiency might
be due to their being left handed, as
all instruction, especially in drawing
and manual training, is with the right
hand.
"My first step to determine the true
cause was TO have the teachers instruct
the left handed pupils in left handed
way-that Is, drawing and using tools
with the left hand. The pupils imme-
diately showed signs Of improvement,
and 1t may be shown that they are not
deficient, but have been handicapped
by present methods Of instruction"
