STICK OF CANDY THREE
FEET LONG TO BE SHOWN

The youthful days when our great
est happiness in life was the possess
sion of red and white striped stidk
of peppermint candy are wildly
brought to mind by the window dis
play of the Sanitary Grocery for the
coming week, as announced by Mr..
s. L. Brooks, manager.
The center Of attraction in the
window will be stick Of candy, sim
liar to the old time than
honey variety that the village grocer
handed out from the dust covered
jar as "treat" for the youngster or
as "lagniappe," to borrow a ward
from our New Orleans friends. The
only difference is in the size. In
stead of the smallsized stick which
requires SO short time for the av-
erage small boy to consume, it is
three feetin length and six inches
thick, weighing 81 1-2 pounds.
The mammoth piece OF candy is
the largest ever seen in Belington,
and the largest ever manufactured by
the Tri-State Candy Company's fac
tory, located at Connellsville, Pa. It
reached Belington unbroken yester-
day morning.

OGDEN CARRYING KNIFE FOR
HATFIELD OR SUTHERLAND
Wheeling Editor Has Fine Double
Cross Arranged For One of
Senatorial Aspirants.

WASHINGTON, Dec. with the
return of members of congress and
others to Washington, fresh lot of
inside political information is being
brough in from West Virginia, much
of which is very interesting to those
who are not directly concerned in
their contest for leadership. The more
ambitious republicans are causing the
same old divisions in the ranks of the
party and are fighting out their own
battles, regardless of the effect it will
have on the party.
One of the most interesting stories
which has reached the capital con-
Germs the "double crossing" which will
be given to either Governor Hatfield
or Congressman-at-large Howard
Sutherland when H. C. Ogden decides
which of them the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer will support for the senator
sh;2. Posing as friend of the COVER
nor, Ogden, it is said, is putting How
ard Sutherland out for the senator
ship, on which every one knows the
governor has had his eyes for the last
two years or more.

MORE STRINGENT LAW
SHOULD BE ENACTED.
Parents Should Cooperate with Teach
ers and See That Children Go TO
School Regularly.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. r.
The State Department of Free Schools
has just tabulated the first months
report Of the district supervisors in
West Virginia. The summary Of
these reports shows some interesting
facts, one of which is that nearly one
third of all the children of the element
airy rural schools are in first grade.
The distribution Of the 44,470 child
rem reported is as follows
1888, or 81 per cent, are in the
first grade; GAPS, or IA per cent are
in the second grade; 6,229, or Ia per
cent, are in the third grade; 5,952, or
1874 per cent, are in the fourth grade;
4,S45, or 81 per cent, are in the fifth
grade; 3,169, or III per cent, are in
the sixth grade; 2,422, or 81 per cent,
are in the seventh grade; while only
1902, or al per cent are in the eighth
grade.
These facts are cause for serious
reflection" said l.. J. Hanifan, State
Supervisor of Rural Schools. "Prac-
tically all our children start to school
soon after they have attained to the
legal school age. They drop out ali
along the grades until not quite S
per cent Of all the children attending
the schools are in the eighth, or last.
grade. What becomes of the child
rem ~, asks Supervisor Hanifan, and
then answers his own question about
as follows:
"Ihe school attendance is so poor in
the lower grades that it takes many
Of the children two or three years to
complete the work of the first grade.
This accounts for the large number
,, in the first grade. Then if they lose
another year or two in their progress
in the next two or three grades, they
arrive at the age Of Is before they
have gotten far in their studies"
Asked what is the remedy, Mr.. Ham
ifan replied: "A more stringent COM
pulsory law would help wonderfully
but the best way to keep the children
in school is to have closer cooperation
of the home and the school The par
ents and teachers can beat all the
truant officers in keeping the children
in school if they work together and
work hard enough"

A FULL AUDIT BEING MADE.
People of State viii Know How Their
Money Is Being Spent.

CHARLESTON, Dec. -"The peo-
pie of the state will soon know, or
have the opportunity to know, the
exact condition of the states fnan-
Lces; the source from which the re-
venue comes and the purposes for
which every dollar of it was expended
during the fiscal year ending June
Both last"
This was the statement made by
Fred o. Blue, state tax commissioner,
to representatives of the press today
Continuing, he said:
"Under the provisions of Chapter
33, acts 1908, Mr.. E. A. Dover, chief
accountant of the state tax commits
sioner's Office, and the assistants as
signed. for such employment, have
been engaged for months in an exam
nation and audit of the different de-
partments of the state. The work is
very large, and necessarily requires
much time. 1t has not been com
pleted for the four years period in
tended to be covered. The work it
self requires an examination of every
payment, of every claim and of every
voucher as we'll as the checking up
and determining whether the amounts
paid into the state treasury from
different sources are the correct
amounts.
Mr.. Dover has, however, sufficient
Ily completed his work for the last
fiscal year to show in detail the in
come of the state from all sources,
and the expenditures of the state
for all purposes, His report embrac-
ing this part of the work will make
something like three hundred pages
of typewriting, and will show in de-
tail all the expenditures, to whom
and for what purpose, SO that the
taxpayers can know where every dol
lar has gone and the purpose for
which it has been spent.
The examination and audit will
give to the people the exact financial
condition of the state as of June 30th
last. 1t will disclose that there was
deficit in the state fund of approx
imately $350,000. at the close Of bust
ness, for the fiscal year ending June
3Oth, 1914.
The audit further discloses that UNI
less the legislature provides addition
al revenue available during the pre-
sent fiscal year, there will be deficit
in the state fund at the end of the
present fiscal year, June 30, 1915, of
approximately 1925, 900. There will
be such deficit, even when the ex-
penditures are limited to payments of
the states ordinary running expenses
and to payments of buildings and inn
provements already under construct
ion.

PRES. WILSON DEFENSDS
MILITARY PREPAREDNESS
Assures Business of Clear and Firm
Road, and No Interest Favored.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Presi-
dent Wilson in his annual message to
Congress today coupled with a de-
Tense of the country's military pre-
paredness word of assurance to
business that it would not be embar-
assed by further legislation. He said
the trust and currency legislative
program Of his administration vir-
tually had been completed, leaving no
conjecture as to what was to follow,
and that there was clear and firm
road ahead on which honest men
might travel with perfect confidence.
For passage at this session the
President urged assurances to meet
the changed conditions due to the Eu-
ropean war, particularly the govern
ment ship purchase bill, measures of
unlock resources of the national do
main and to encourage improvement
of navigable waters for generation Of
power, and the bill already passed by
the House to give "a larger measure
of government to the people of
the Philippines"
Salient Points of Presidents Address
Points out that the European war
has found the United States wholly
unprepared, as far as the develop
ment of its resources and means of
transportation are concerned, to
serve itself and to serve mankind"
Says our past policy of stunning
and hindering the growth Of the mer-
chant marine has been a gross error
Urges Senate to pass Immediately
the two conservation bills and the
Philippine bill already passed by the
House of Representatives urges on
both branches the Importance of pass
ing the shipping bill, empowering the
government itself to build merchant
marine.
Declares it to be matter Of great
regret that the subject of rural
credits is so difficult as to preclude
the possibility of the preparation and
passage of bill at this session.
Urges passage of appropriation
intended for coast survey work, par
ticularly for survey of the dangerous
Alaskan coast.
Pleads for economy in all public
expenditures, chiefly through sys-
tsmatic reorganization Of govern
mental departments.
Discusses our so-called prepared
ness of war; and declares that ac-
ton, such as the upbuilding of navy
greater than the one we now have, or
the institution of compulsory military
service, would mean merely that we
have lost our self-possession, that we
have been thrown off our balance by
war with which we have nothing
to do"

BRILLIANT ORATOR
MAKES ABLE ADDRESS
Congressman M. M. Nicely Spoke For
Over Half Hour and Held Audi
ence Spellbound.


The Annual Memorial Services of
Elkins Lodge No. 1885, Benevolent and
Protective Order OF Elks was held in
the Opera House at Elkins last Sun
day evening and will go down in the
history of Elkdom as being the most
impressive ever held by the local lodge.
Not only was it the most impressive,
but it was also the most elaborate and
it is doubtful if the stage settings
could have been improved upon, or
better talent secured for the many
parts if the committee had spent a
month in the arrangement.
The most eloquent and impressive
address ever heard in this section was
made by Congressman M. M. Nicely,
a member Of the order Using the
beautiful Elks motto"The Faults of
our brothers we write upon the sands;
their virtues on the tablets of love
and memory as the subject of his
theme, he eulogized the work of the
order in the republic, demonstrating
in logical manner the part it plays
in the making Of better country and
a more exalted humanity. His adj
dress was plea for greater liberality
and broadness of view in the workings
Of the human mind, emphasizing as
proof of the wisdom of his words the
marvellous prosperity of the Elks,
which order is noted for its freedom
from bigotry and prejudice and its
broad and charitable governing prin-
ciples.
The services proper were opened
with the ritualistic work by the Off
GERS of the lodge, those having parts
being the Exalted Ruler, Esteemed
Leading Knight, Esteemed Loyal
Knight, Chaplain, Secretary, Treas
urer and Inner Guard which was in
termingled with the responsive ser
vices by the membership massed in
the first six tiers of reserved seats.
The orator of the day, Brother M. M.
Nicely of Fairmont Lodge Of Eiks, No
AGA, and Congressman from the First
West Virginia District, was then in
troduced in a brief but eloquent adj
dress by Brother H. G. Kump, trus-
tee of the local lodge
The singing by Miss Gross and
Brother O. B. Stanley was profound
ly impressive while the Opera House
Orchestra acquitted itself splendidly
At the conclusion of the services
the audience remained seated until
the lodge had retired from the Opera
House and formed in line on Third
street for the return march to their
quarters in the Wallace building.
Those who attended from Belington
were Mr.. and Mrs. j. e. Keyser and
son, Robert; Mr.. and Mrs C. H. Jones
and daughter; Mr.. and Mrs. Viques-
ney and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. M. R.
Keyser, Max Shurtleff, DR.. d. p. Cas-
to, Gall Hillyard, Bernard Teter, c. l..
Weymouth and C. G. Conell.
After the services were concluded,
for the benefit of those who desire
to return to Belington Sunday even
ing, General Manager |. X. Nye, of
the Coal and Coke ran special train
to this city which was in charge Of
Harry P. Martin, trainmaster, who
came along and the BelingSon crowd
on the route proclaimed vote of
thanks to Mr.. Dye, Mr.. Martin and
the entire train crew for the courte-
sizes shown them by running the train
and the attention given them.
