NO EAR MUFFLERS
Warns Trackmen About Wearing
Mufflers, as They Render
Hearing Less Acute.

AS an instance of the small details
of which it is necessary for the man
agement of a railroad to take care in
providing for the safety of their men,
the following circular has just been
sent out by the general manager of
the Pennsylvania railroad to all the
officers having in charge men work
ing on the tracks;
1.-THE wearing of ear munlers by
trackmen renders their hearing less
acute while being worn, and while
1t is not desirable to prohibit the prac-
tice of wearing mulilers, foremen
should be warned to pay particular at
tention to the men who wear them,
in regard to warning the men of ap-
preaching trains, and all foremen
should be advised of this at once"

WOODS FULL OF EN-
Contest Accusing interest All over
the State-Many Poets Dis
covered.

No one knew until the West Vir-
ginia poem contest opened that the
woods Of this state was so full Of
poets. Since the announcement Of
the conditions were made last week
poems have been arriving at head
quarters in Wheeling in every mail
and it looks like the job of select
ing the one to be recognized as the
West Virginia poem and song will
be hard one.
1t is desired to have the song Sc.
lected early in April, 50 so It can be
taught to the school children so
there are only about six more weeks
for the wooers of the muse to get
busy Some of the poems which
have been sent in are meritorius, but
the selecting will not begin until the
contest closes, so there is still
chance for every one.
The poems should be sent to Hon.
Il. Walker Peterson, at Wheeling
and after the contest closes the poem
committee of the Semi-Centennial
Commission will do the Judging

SOCCER FOOTBALL
Will BE Demonstrated at State
Teachers neeting in Pueblo.

High school football of the American
Rugby typo has been, deservedly or not,
the target of more attacks than any other
item iii the sporting oalandar of second
AIRY schools. Objections to this game
have been especially violent in Colorado.
and large number of our state high
schools have eliminated it from their list of
athletic amusements. Soccer football, an
English variety. very little similar to our
American game. is being offered in its
place. Coach Porter of the Centennial
High school OF Pueblo has arranged to
have a demonstration game of soccer
played in that city on the occasion OF the
State Teachers association which con-
venes in that city on November 1926.
Coach Porter has already received many
expressions of qualification on the part of
the other high school coaches of the state.

Notice From the Board of Health

Whereas, an epidemic of smallpox has
prevailed in our city for the past five
weeks, and although this epidemic is now
in measure subsidlng. nevertheless. in
order to prevent a quarantine of the town
and county, it is necessary to quickly sup
press it. Therefore, it is ordered by the
board of health that all social. religious
and political meetings, all lodges and
gatherings of all kinds. cease until further
notice.
Inasmuoh as all the children of the
schools have heen vaccinated, and no
cases have occurred among them for
several weeks. an exception is made of
the public schools and these are premit-
ted to continue.
Furthermore, as all authorities are
agreed that vaccination is an absolute
preventive OF smallpox. we urge all of our
citizens who have not been vaccinated to
go at once to their physician and have it
done. We have made arrangements with
the physicians of the city to vaccinate
any citizen who desires to have it done
so, free of any charge. Go to some of
them and have it done.
If all our citizens will be vaocinated.
we can promise that all guarantees and
all orders against the meeting of the
people, tho churches, lodges, picture
shows, etc., will be raised and abandoned
soon.
furthermore, we urge all citizens to as
sist the officers of the city in maintaining
