The Value of Leaves.

Evening Journal:
This is the season of the year
in which thousands of dollars 90
up in smoke as the leaves from
the shade trees in the towns and
cities are burned. Money cannot
buy fertilizer that will take the
place of the leaves that are
burned. In the spring the ladies
are pleading for little woods
earth for their flowers and
plants, and as a rule pleading to
no purpose, as woods earth is
difficult to secure. Woods earth
comes from rotted leaves and
twigs from the forst trees. and
it is the most valuable earth for
all kinds of plants, as it contains
pure vegetable mold, with all
the constituents in soluble from
that plants need.

such as loading drays, etc. Later
he decided to come to the coal
fields as Offering the best OPP
portunities. After working at
Northfork a while, he was be-
friended by Hutson of Keyston,
who took an interest in him,
and helped him into better jobs.
Later he came to WEIGH, where
he has worked for Hutson
Brothers, and become known as
a great hustler. At the age of
% he has entered the real estate
business, made good, and accu-
INFLATED a snug pile of money.
In the meantime his sister has
come to this country and lives
in Baltimore. Sam tells pathe-
tically that when he used to
make a dollar, he sent fifty cents
to her;and still takes pleasure in
writing her a check.
Poor, unlearned with no know
ledge of the English language,
he has in ten years, or less, be-
come one of the substantial
business men of WEIGH; but he
says he is tired Of trying to
write letter, and having to
have the Stationary open before
him all the time. so he makes
this step during this, his rather
dull season. and will as stated
enter the Normal School to study
English and acquire a general
education.

Leaves should be gathered up
and saved for fertihzing pur-
poses. They should be put in a
compost heap to rotor buried in
shallow trenches in the ground.
1t is a waste to permit them to
be burned. Every householder
almost could find some way of
saving the leaves and later re-
celving great value for them.
Where there is a horse or COW
the leaves can be used profitably
for bedding, and where there
are chickens they are valuable
to put in scratching pens in the
winter, to make the chickens
take exercise and thus keep
healthy. -Staunton Leader.

A Good Dog Trap.

The following taken from an
exchange offers a good sugges.
ton to farmers and herders who
have been trying to raise sheer
in this and adjoining counties,
more especially in the County OF
Wyoming. where it is commonly
known that many thousands OF
dollars worth of sheep could be
raised yearly were it not for the
surplus of no-account dogs. For
use, we would recommend the
latest model, choke bore, 80 inch
barrel, Remington Automatic
Shotgun, with smokeless powder
and No. l shot.
Now that the season of ripe
persimmons and pawpaws, which
make fat the toothsome opossum,
is approaching, it stricks the
writer that few dog traps
might benefit the sheep raiser
in many parts of West Virginia
where ours becomes the enemy
of the golden fleece in his mighty
raids in search of that luscious
"possum."
This dog trap is not patented
and any sheep man is at liberty
to use it and protect his flock;
"a lard can, a syrup can, or
paint bucket can be used"
Fasten the lid on securely, then
find center of the bottom and cut
from near the outer edge to the
center and press inward slightly
these sharp points of the center
and bait. Place such made traps
in your sheep pastures and you
get the canine.
A can on the dogs head beats
a dozen no his tail. Early next
morning take a stroll to your
sheep pasture with your unerr-
ing, double barreled shot gun in
hand and when you have used
the deadly weapon to your entire
satisfaction on the unarmorred
parts of this canine, he will pre-
sent such a horrible aspect to
the remaining members of the
gang that none will ever invade
your premises after, in case he
should get home with hhis life.
Sheep raisers, try this dog
trap and report.

that mighty monarchy are even
now treating with the rank
cruelty and inhumanity Of medi-

is being tried Tor his life on

The Lion in The Path.

Financial legislation in this
country is difficult because near,
ly every American regards him,
self as an expert. There is nc
other subject on witch there is
such diversity of opinion There
is no other problem upon which
so many people assume to speak
by authority.
Another reason why financial
legislation is difficult is found
in the fact that the great bank
ing interest is fairly we'll salts
fled with things as they are. 1t
will approve of no change that
it does not dictate. If it cannot
have a central bank licensed by
law, it prefers to keep the rank
growth of an evil system that
it now hasa central bank in
fact but not as yet in name.
To preserve this institution
nothing has been found more
useful than the quarrels of the
peoples representatives, their
pride of opinion, their unwilling
ness to compromise, and the
many violent and irrational
measures which such conditions
necessarily prduce. While our
millions of dogmatic financers
dipsute and fight, the few pro-
fessionals keep all the privileges
that they have gained and reach
out for more.
The first Bank of the United
States had a capital of $4,000
600; the second, $35, 900, 600.
These banks were considered so
powerful, they were administer
ed with such favoritism and
they were so offensive in their
political relations that the
Democratic party for more than
a generation waged war upon
the very idea of a central bank
and made it hateful forever.
Yet without public approval
or act of Congress we have to-
day what amounts to a central
bank so much greater than either
Bank of the United States as to
make those creations of our early
monopolists look like toys by
comparison.
While frenzied political finan-
ciers in Washington wrangled
over the details of Banking
and Currency bill, the greatest
concentration of banking energy
ever known goes blithely along,
and through its spokesman in
PRODUCES new contentious calcu-
lated to defeat action of any
kind.
The central bank already in
opration is composed of five
institutions owned and controll-
ed by a compact and highly
Morgan Rockefeller

the First National Bank, the
Trust Company, the
Bankers Trust Company and

interlocking directors in thirty
four banks and trust companies,
within resources of So, 679, 900, 600
and total deposits of 81, 983, 0O0,-

Thes are the figures of Philip
j. Scudder, the expert. They
ought to stagger every Ameri-
can. They ought to put reason
and sincerity into the soul of
every Congressman. They reveal
the lion in the path of banking
and currency reform.
No wonder that Mr.. Vanderlip
is on the stump pleading
emotionally for plenty of time.
No wonder that the men who
created the existing central bank
Mr.. Vanderlip's indulgent
employers, ask nothing now but
its leglaization. No wonder that
