Mr.. Miller And Family
Are Home From Texas

Mr.. James Miller and family, who
went to Fort Worth, Texas, a few
weeks age, returned Sunday. Mi.
Miller was engaged in teaching Eng
lish in the Department of English OF
the Texas Christian University, and
he and his family were almost forced
to return on account of unfavorablc
climatic conditions. The temperature
was 113 degrees in the shade, and this
is no uncommon thing during the sum
mer which lasts from April to October.
TT. Worth is subject to very sudden
and violent changes, the temperature
falling in one or two hours from al
most summer heat to freezing. Aside
from the climate and the water, TT.
Worth is a very beautiful city; its
streets are broad and clean, lined on
both sides with elegant and costly
bungalows, some of them reaching
magnificence. The country around TT.
Worth is a vast rolling prairie, impress
sive in it's very magnitude. The sun
sets are gorgeous, painful in the maet-
cal colors that only the Divine artist
can see.
Mr. Miller found the personnel OF
The university brilliant and cordial, The
people of Texas kind and hospitablc
but regarding health as being OF frs
importance, better even than ta'ir
prospects for the future, he and lii
family chose it.

Chemist To Produce
Eggs From Atmosphere

DR.. Paul Walden, Of Riga, Russia,
pr2dicts that the next great feat Of
chemistry will be the making Of eggs
from air. DR.. Walden, who is prcsi-
dent-elect of the Ninth International
Congress of Applied Chemistry, to be
held in ST. Petersburg in 1915, fur
Their predicts that variety of nitro
genous foods will be made from the
al. some day.
Il consider it practically certain
that at no distant day we will be
drawing food supplies from the air, "
he said. Professor Berthsen, of Ger
many, has already succeeded in max
ing the simple compound nitrogen and
hydrogen. This shows that we will
be able to make more complex COM
pounds. An egg is a complex COM
pound of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur
and hydrogen.
THE chemical process of the hen
will be initiated in the laboratory in
the undertaking. Formerly we were
able to do very little with the UNI
combined nitrogen in the atmosphere
Now that we are able to harness il
the possibilities are wonderful.

TO THE CITIZENS or WEST VIR
GINA. GREETING;

GINA, GREETING;
The highest purpose OF all good
American citizens ought TO be the con-
servation OF the liberties guaranteed
by the organic law of our Republic. 1t
is self evident that a nation san be
no greater than the standard of its
citizenship, and the greatest patriot Of
this day is he who labors to keep in
violate the constitutional guarantees
of free speech, free press and lawful
assemblagc
THE best citizen is he who raises
his voice in behalf of the downtrodden
and oppressed, and who endeayors
through economic and political effort
to develop a better manhood, a nobler
womanhood and a happier childhood
the greatest assets of great nation
1t is a matter of extreme regret to
all thinking and patriotic citizens that
a most unhappy state of affairs exists
in our beloved state, rising indeed to
an actual and alarming state of war
fare, growing out of the strike of the
coal minors in the counties of Fay
cite and Kanawha We believe that
there is urgent need for action by
our legislature in the shape of Just
and we'll considered laws respecting
the relations of employers and en-
ployes. The consideration Of such leg
islation heretofore has been prevented
by a powerful nonpartisan lobby,
which is the invisible government, and
which has been able to defeat all such
legislation. This non-partisan lobby
has exercised it's sinister power so ef-
fectually and so yiciousIy that prac-
tically all community of interest be-
tween employer and employee has been
destroyed. 1t is evident that there
can never be industrial peace in West
Virginia until there is industrial jus
tice. The power to make laws must
be shifted from this visible, sinister
government to the visible and rightful
government ordained by the people.
therefore we hereby issue this call
for a state convention Of the citizens
of West Virginia to meet in the Hall
of the House of Delegates, in the
State Capitol at Charleston, at 10
O'Clock in the morning of Thursday,
October 10, 1912. for the purpose Of
considering the subject of promoting
peace and justice between labor and
capital, employer and employe, and to
discuss the following subjects name
ly:
"(a) The guard system.
"(b) The rights and duties OF la
Dor Unions.
"(c) The right to peaceably assem-
BILE and discuss conditions of employ
ment and the wage scale.
I'D Workman's liability and com
pensation acts.
"(e) The comforting Of additional
power upon the Governor to enforce
the law, especially the power to re-
move officers who fail to do their
duty.
"f) The initiative and referendum,

nal societies, farmers. oranges and as
