hurried down to the store after a
book on card games before the party

nothing but bridge whist and such
things. hated to appear like an
ignoramus.

hated to tell them that they We're like
a lot of babies as far as adding and

unkind, not to say rude, to tell them
that Id outgrown that easy game

STRIKE OF ALL INDUSTRIES IN
x COLORADO is IMMINENT
Denver, COL, Oct. 2o.-That John
d. Rockefeller and 26 Broadway are
back of the refusal of the operators
to negotiate for settlement Of the
strike of 5000 miners in Southern
Colorado is the claim of international
Vice-President Frank Hayes of the
United Miners, who declares that un-
less the operators agree to treat with
the representatives of the striking
miners, a statewide strike of all in
dustries will be called. r.,
John D. Rockefeller and 26 Broad
way own the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company and have refused to nego-
tiate for a settlement of this strike"
said Hayes. "They have refused to
even seriously consider the offers we
made through Gov. Ammons.
"The reason is that they intend to
crush unionism in Colorado by crush
ing the strongest union in the state,
the United Mine Workers. We do not
propose to let them carry out this
program. We will retaliate with a
statewide strike that will tie up every
industry in Colorado unless the oper-
ators change their attitude"
One thousand militiamen at day
light today occupied the coal strike
district about Trinidad and the mar
tial law declared yesterday by Gov.
Ammons was put into effect. The
disarming of mine guards and strik-
ers began at once, but it is declared
that the greater number of the strik-
ers voluntarily disarmed themselves
and their weapons were stacked in
the camps ready for the troops when
they arrived.

STATE ROAD WORK
IN PENNSYL VANlA
Giant Strides Made by Keystone En-
sineers Since July.

Over 400 miles of state highways in
put I'm good condition since they came
under the state Jurisdiction in June of
this year. Practically all of this work
was done in three months, considerable
time being required by the state high
way department to get its repair work
under way. It 's'as not until July that
systematic operations were possible.
One of the first things accomplished
was the elimination of the old fash
Toned water breaks which used to be a
serious impeachment to- travel through
out the state. All these have been re-
moved, and it is stated that there is
not one left ON the 400 miles of roads
which have received the attention of
the state department,
Next in Importance has been the
work Of ditching undertaking, the re-
moval of underbrush and overhanging
bushes at the roadsides In order to al.
low the roads to dry up quickly after
rains and the recrowning of the road
surfaces. Most of the work has been
done with the materials at hand, al
though In some instances macadam
construction has been used. All of these
roads will be gone over again before
the winter sets in, the present work
being to considerable extent of a
temporary character designed to keep
the main highways in the best possible
condition until the money to be de
rived from the proposed $5O,00O,000
bond issue shall provide funds for the
more thorough repair of the highways

desperate, life-and-death grapple

comparative insignificance. At

claimants to the governorship of
the great Empire state will get
the legal title to it, and while the
entire state government is upset

judges and officials taking sides

opinion is forming its ultimate
ruling, the dramatic and human

TEACHERS INSTITUTE

Next week the Barbour county
teachers will meet at Phitippi to
take up institute work. I his
gathering of educational minds
is something of value both to the
individual and the community.
1t has been several years since
the institute was held in Being
ton, so tits now time that Beling-

ence of the teachers, and we
make this as an invitation for the
institute next year.
The High School building will
be completed this fall, and will
just be in fine shape to hold the
teachers in their institute work.
This building will be equipped in
a modern way, and surely will be
delightful place for the assem-
blage of any educational body.
Teachers, bring your institute to
Belington next year and you will
be amply repaid for your efforts
and attendance.

SETTLED.

It is now settled that the tariff
bill will pass; the next vital ques-
ton at Washington i s whether
Congress will pass the banking
and currency measure also. Pres
ident Wilson is determined t
ought to be done; quite a large
proportion of Congress, including
some powerful Democratic Sena-
tors, are opposed to it. They
don't give any very tangible rea-
sons except that Congress has
spent hot summer in Washing
ton, the fifth summer in success
sion ia very unusual record, by
the way, and that everybody
is feeling tired a n d irritable.
President Wilson believes that
the banking measure is a neces-
sary supplement to the tariff leg
islation, that both belong togeth-
er, and should be passed as near
simultaneously as possible.

Remove the Mud Tax Burden.

No plan for spring work is complete
which does not include dragging the
roads. If this is attended to at the
proper time it insures good roads for
the season and removes the larger
share of that awful burden, the mud
tax. In this matter the towns and
cities are equally interested with the
farmers, and their cooperation is not
generally hard to secure if the matter
is handled rightly. Road dragging is
one of those things that must be Sc
cured through cooperation if wide

They Would Tend to Lower the Cost of
Living.
The 100000 miles of unimproved
roads which the country has to its dis.
credit are as heavy a burden upon the
unfortunate ultimate consumer" as is
an excessive tariff Every pound Of
produce hauled from the farm to the
market bears an inflated price because
of the excessive cost of its transperta-
ton from the farm to the point Of
shipment
For instance. it costs an average of
almost = cents more to haul a bushel
of wheat from the farm to the station
nine miles away than it does to ship a
bushe of wheat from New York to
Liverpool. BOO miles away This ex
cessive transportation cost must be
made up by the farmer in charging
more for his wheat. by the miller in
charging more for the -four. by the
baker in charging more for bread and
finally, of course, by the ultimate con
sumer' in paying more for his bread.
AS the farmer and the miller are also
consumers, the excessive cost OF ROAD
transportation really levies a tax upon
all Whatever doubt there may have
been about the need for systematic
road improvement in the United States
facts and figures such as these finally
dispelled.
If there was ever any work calculated
to fill the proverbial ''long felt want" it
was the work of the office of public
roads.

Arteriosclerosis.

DR.. James J. Walsh, dean of
Fordham university, says it is a
mistake to say that the most
typical disease of old age~arte-
riosclerosis-is brought on by
the use of tobaccos. meat and
wine. He says that he has per-
sonally examined several Egyp-
tan mummies recently and that
they all showed evidence of ar
teriosclerosfs. yet the Egyp-
tians were ignorant of tobacco
and took little meat and wine,
living principally on vegetables.
This makes him inclined to think
that those who have always
counseled old people to avoid to-
bacco, meat and wine for fear
of fastening the process of ar
teriosclerosis have made a mis-
take.
