THE MORCUE OF FIGURES.
(BY A. W. SHAWL

was talking with the head OF one of
New York's greatest publishing houses.
System he said, ''is the morgue of
figures
But he meant-blanks and forms and
cards and books-not system.
For multiplicity to these is often mis-
taken for system-but is not
And System" the magazine, stands
for fewer forms, fewer TOOLS less OF the
red tape, and more of the principle
system.
A mass of useless figures is mot sys-
EN-. Innumerable blanks and forms,
ines and marks, of themselves make no
system. The red tape which calls for
cumbersome and long winded routes, the
multiple signing and counter-signing is
the fartllest from real system.
The simpler, the more elemental the
statue, the better the art.
System has been overdone. Crimes
have been committed in its name. But
in this it only follows the illustrations
Example of ali else that is good The
massacre OF St. 3artholomew's Eve was
perpetrated in the name OF religion. Re-
igion has not been forever condemned
on that account.
great trust has recently been accused
of burning its rivals mills under the guise
of competition. Because of that crime
the justice OF competition has not been
oYerthrown.
So in the name OF system commercial
crimes have been committed. A great
manufacturing house has onefourth of
its employees IN its cost department,
gathering masses OF unclassifed, useless
figures. In one wholesale house an order
is recorded in eleven distinct places. A
great railroad company requires nine sig
natures-and three months-for the APP
proval of the expenditure.
These are not systems. Beware of such
methods.
Let the knowledge of these crimes COM
mitted in the name of system make you
more systematic. Go through your bust
aess today end see what part of its sys-
TENS are not system what figures are
meaningless and yaluless, which are USE
less Implications, what forms are worse
than useless sleeves through which vital
facts and figures are lost

There are morgues to two departments.
Perhaps you MAJ find some in yours.

Nature Study for Rural Schools.

Opossum-The opossum is a small an
imal of the pouched family, varying in
size of mouse to that of large cat. They
have long noses, ears and tails; the latter
being as rule naked and adapted for
grasping, and with their great toes SO
fully opposab'e to the others as to form a
functionally perfect pair of posterior
hands. These opposable great toes are
without nail or claw, but their tips are
expanded into broad fiat pads, which are
no doubt Of the greatest use when climb
ing. On The anterior limbs all five toes
have long sharp claws, and the great toes
are little opposable. Their many teeth
are covered with minute sharply pointed
cups, with which to crush the insects and
birds on which they feed. Their color is
whitish-gray.
The best known specie is the Virginian
opossum. 1t is found over all the tenn
perate portion of North America. 1t is
very common, being found in towns
where it acts as scavenger by night, re-
firing for shelter during the day upon the
house roofs or into sewers.
1t produces in the spring from six to
sixteen young, which are placed by the
mother, in her pouch Immediately after
birth and remain, and are nourished
there until they are able to care for
themselves. SILENCE

we find a hen that is setting on door

when it doesn't hatch but neglects to

A whole lot OF the American people for
years have been trying to hatch door
knobs. They have done everything but
suspect the doorknob.
Laws, to promote moral and human
itarian interests have been enacted.
Statutes have been written into our codes
to prevent crime and curb the criminal
However, we have not attained the re-

Over in Washington Congress enacted
a measure to prevent the rushing OF
GROWERS from saloons. 1t was a great
enactment
1t has failed to do all that it was ex-
pected to do. The District Excise Board
has ruled as long as the beer is carried in
a covered glass jar the law does not apply.
1t is the same old story of trying to

must get over the delusion that door.
knob is an egg and get at the base of the
problem. Remove from office men who
are willing to play into the hands of the

1t is not matter of vast bulk of legis-
latlon, to accomplish reform in this old
world, but demand for strong men, I'm.
afraid to do their duty, who will enforce
the laws already enacted.
There are enough laws now.
All that is needed is for the American
hen to quit bothering with doorknobs.

The Cigaret Must Be Prohibited

Just as West Virginia has solved the
liquor question in the only logical way,
by banishing the stuff from the state and
prohibiting its manufacture, so most the
cigaret evil be handled. 1t is matter
that the coming legislature cannot grace
fully side-step Its victims are found
everywhere. Only few days ago word
came from Buckhannon that two students
at West Virginia Wesleyan College have
been expelled for smoking cigarettes ard
others are on the anxious seat, while the
college authorities are trying to conceal
the identity of the students
When the term opened, President Carl
g. Doney announced that cigarette
smoking students would be dismissed
1t is said the students expelled attended
social function recently and helped burn
up few packages of their favorite brand.
The next morning they were called be-
fore the president, who told them their
presence at the college was no longer de-
sired.
President Doney is heading a move
ment advocating law making the sale
of cigarettes in West Virginia a INSIDE
meanor.

CHESTNUT BLIGHT
in WEST VIRGINIA.
A Disease that Threatens the determination
Of One Of Our Most Valuable Trees.

A disease known as Chestnut Blight
first appeared on Long Island in 1904.
During the eight years since then it has
spread into dozen states and has de-
stroyed forty million dollars worth of
chestnut timber.
The Blight has made such Roadway in
Pennsylvania that the Legislature of the
state, two years ago, WAS forced to appro
pirate two hundred and seventy-five
thousand dollars to combat 1t.
The forests of West Virginia are com
paratively free from the disease at pres
ent but it has entered on the east and is
killing chestnut trees at rapid rate on
the west face of the Blue Ridge Mountains
in Jefferson county. 1t was hoped that
the valley of the Shenandoah-which is
about twenty miles wide and is without
any chestnut timber-would act as an
effectual barries to the spread of the dis
ease but within the last two or three
weeks it is founl to have entered the
eastern border Of our great chestnut belt
in Berkeley and Morgan counties.
Unless prompt and vigorous measures
are taken to check the distribution of the
blight before it becomes widespread, there
is little hope that the vast quantity OF
chestnut timber in the state can be saved.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eurta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbIing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when IT is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bat an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

THE CITY ELECTION.

1t happens this year that the City Elec-
ton comes off on All important day-the
4th of Mareh-the very day that the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson takes the oath OF
Office as President of the United States
and takes hold of the reigns of the ma
tional government This will be big
day from the smallest form OF govern
ment to the highest, so far as Belington
is concerned Many Bel1ngton people
have intended going to the Inauguration,
but are in measure duty-bound to make
their wishes known respecting the pro-
gress OF Belington.
From all indications the city will re-
quire good set Of officers for the com
ing years business. The chances are
good for another railroad-a new trolley
line as well as other important utilities,
with their different phases now about
ready for solution.
The peoples interest must not be neg
lected, and every honest effort should
be put forth by each voter to make sure
that the city's interests are we'll taken
care of for the present and the future as
well.
Before our next issue, nominations for
Mayor, Recorder and four Councilmen
will have been made. 1t is important to
start with the right kind of men on the
different tickets thus eliminating EN-,
barrassments and confusion on election
dav.
Remember that City Council can
easily put the city in bad way, while it
is not so easy to guard the peoples in
terests Franchises are to be watched
Beington has had some dear experiences
in granting franchises, especially as to
duration, terms and conditions. Long
franchises will hinder the progress of any
city Time changes all things, hence the
necessity of short-lived grants and priv
ileges.
Elect men always who will guard the
best interests of the city at all times, un-
der all circumstances, and who at the
same time will give due respect and en-
couragemeut to any and all legitimate
business enterprises in their onward
march of progress.
