MUST PAY FOR THE PAPER.

Judge George Thomas, of Column
bus, Neb. recently decided that if a
man accepts a paper that is sent him
he must pay for it. The decision was
rendered in the case brought by the
Columbus (Neb.) Telegram against
a man for 1896 The Telegram had
been sent to the mans home and he
had accepted the paper. When called
upon to pay for it he refused and
suit was brought. When Judge
Thomas heard the evidence he in
structed the jury to bring in verdict
for the Telegram. Judge Thomas ruled
that the old common law principle
that what a man received and used he
was bound to pay for applied in this
instance

SAY BOYS!

Want to go to war? Of course
average healthy, enthusiastic young
American lad. How many times have
you day-dreamed and night-dreamed
too, for that matter-about leading a
gallant company to victory. In your
fancy you can hear the roar of the
shells, the rattle and clatter of the
swords, the shouts of victory and all
that sort of thing, BUT
If you want real -to-life il
lustration of what modern warfare is,
just get up about four o'clock some
cold, damp, foggy morning, walk ten
or twelve miles to bit of swampy
land, dig trench until your back
aches like an liberated tooth; let the
trench fill with water till it reaches
your waist. Then stand in this cold,
almost freezing water all day and all
night and all day and all night with
nothing to eat and nothing to drink
but the murky water while the rest of
the boys throw stones at you.
Doesn't sound so nice and glorious,
does it?
But that's only about one tenth as
bad as REAL war would be.
Better stick to the farm, Ell?

well fed and clothed, hcw clean and
well nourished previous to it's admis-
sion to school, the parents interest
must follow the child to the school
room and see that such environment
does not undermine it's health Here
in lies the responsibility Of the father,
as citizen and toxpayer. 1t is his
money that maintains the school and
it is his duty to see that his child is
not forced into an overcrowded, poor
ly ventilated, overheated classroom,
compelled to breathet for five hours a
day tibet expirations from forty or
fifty pairs of lungs, and its condition
so weakened as to render it vulnerable
to the attacks of infectious disease
Any one on reflection, will be impress
ed with the futility of expecting a
maximum progression, physical and
mental, where children are housed in
overcrowded classrooms with little or
no moisture in the air, compelled to
breathe dry, vitiated air and to at
tempt mental tasks with suffocated
braincells deprived of natures gener-
GUS supply of oxygen. This is the con
dition in "a large number of school
rooms throughout the land today.

SHAKE EN- UP-OR DOWN.

There are reformers who honestly
and sensibly go about securing need
ed reforms and then again there are
other reformers whose mission in life
as they view it, is to change things
somehow, no matter how, or what the
net result in the cause of worthy re-
form may be- 1t is of such as these
that writer in the Congregational
ist, of Boston, speaks in this Ian
guage:
Sand there is that host of agitat-
ors and reformers who go out before
breakfast to find something to shake
up or shake down.
Probably they would not think life
worth living if they had to sit tight
and not rock the boat They want to
be doing something. Some of them
/ do not say all of them or many of
them-want to do things which make
headlines in glare of limelight and
if they rock the boat until it is over
turned and the valuable cargo goes
into the water, the bigger will be
the headlines and the more the lime
light"
The woods are full of reformers
bent upon finding something to shake
up or down, as the Boston religious
paper remarks, and with many of
them the disposition to shake up
would not be so strong were the pros
pect to shake down not so bright.
They are no sooner through with one
reform than they are on with another
caring nothing about sticking to one
thing long enough to see it work out
to practical results, even if it gave
promise of being practical.
Real reforms, those worth while.
don't come that way. They come
through persistence and patience,
with people of common sense back of
them, having weighed the problems
and arrived at sane conclusions, will
ing to make the sacrifice of time and
effort and money to accomplish the
needed things.

BRAND WHITLOCK'S
QUIET TIME.

Brand Whitlock found the crash
ing din Of Toledo, Ohio, too nerve
racking for fellow who wanted calm
old-world peace in which to write a
new book. So he accepted post as
Minister to Belgium feeling that in
the sleepy Flemish atmosphere he
would be surrounded by ideal con-
ditions.
Bangi!
The European War broke out and
suddenly almost an entire corps of
ambassadors unloaded their duties
upon Brands shoulders. He accepted
them all. Then came the vanguard
of the war-scared refugees, attempt
ing to return to America. Brand
cared for them in dozens, scores, hun
dreds, thousands, legions. He ar
ranged for money for the moneyless,
ships for the "shipless," clothes for
the "clothless" and finally got all his
stranded and panic-stricken compat-
riots out of the various warning ma
tions and on their way to the United
States.
Then came the distribution OF food,
supplies and money to the real vic
tins of the war-the women and
children rendered homeless by the de-
stroying armies. Whitlock again
was at the head and front of every
thing. He is sticking on the job
like hired man at a corned-beef
and cabbage dinner. Of all the
Americans in Europe he is the Dig
gest, the busiest, and the most effect
i've. Day and night, since the first
week in August he has been up and
doing. Not a day elapses but dis
covers him in new role as first aid
to something.
We should like to read that book
that was to have been written in "the
calm and peaceful atmosphere of
sleepy Flanders"

THE CHILD'S HEALTH.

Two problems concerning the health
and physical and mental development
of child confront thoughtful parents
today, consideration of the child out
side of school and attention to its en-
vironment within the school.
Whether in country or in city, the
home influence on it's health is most
important. A constant and controll-
able factor is it's food Herein lies
the home responsibility of the mother.
She must learn that the food of the
growing child is next only in import
anee to its feeding as an infant; and
that the greatest good comes to it
from plain, nutritious, well-cooked
and easily digested food; that it needs
certain foods for body structure and
other foods to supply heat and ener-
gy. A child should frolic and romp
and play because there is natural re-
lation between such muscular activity
and the proper performance of such
food material in carrying on their
functions. The mother must also rel
alize that rest is as important for the
child as play, and that sufficient quiet,
restful sleep does it's equal part in
storing energy and bringing about
fresh air, and at night should sleep
in well-ventilated room with the
windows well down from the top.
They should be bathed regularly and
properly clothed But no matter how

GO TO CHURCH.
0 to church next Sunday

Go to church next Sundayl
If there is one thing that should ac-
celerate the "go-to-church movement
it is the devastating war of Europe.
People should go to church and thank
God that this country has been spared
Wars horrors and pray that it may
continue to enjoy the blessings Of
peace. When the "go-to-church"
movement was started last spring it
looked as if this country would be
embroiled with Mexico. Then Europe
was at peace. This country still
boasts of peace, while Europe is
shaken to its foundations by a dread
full war Who can say that this mag
nifcent response to the appeal of the
churches to go to church did not help
in preserving the peace Of this land
of ours? God was pleased at the
thousands who went to his temples of
worship. 1t is but fair to assume that
He spared this land the horrors of
War.
This country is proud of it's church
es. They are credit to the country.
For time it looked as if they were
to SUFFER MATERIALLY BE-
CAUSE OF DECREASING ATTEN-
DANCE. But religious sentiment
religious support for the churches,
never was dead in this land. All the
people needed was reminder. The
GO TO CHURCH movement had a
small beginning. 1t grew and grew
Before the summer set in it was a
tidal wave. Entire communities a.
rose as one person and went to
church. 1t was magnificent re-
Spouse.
No doubt you like to see your wife
GO TO CHURCH. You like to see
your son and daughter GO TO
CHURCH. Or if you are single
man you like to see your sweetheart
GO TO CHURCH.
GO TO CHURCH yourself, and
they will gladly follow your example.

MUSTN'T TOUCH"

Remember when you were a littl,
tad, or taddess, and your mother o.
father pointed out something to YOU
little eyes and said: Mustn't touch p
iOf course you remember it. You'll
never forget as long as you live how
those very wofds threw a cloak Of
mystery around the object that you
Mustn't touch," and how that phrase
started the determination in your
mind that you WOULD touch.
The other day mother took her
two-year-old baby to call on a neigh
Dor. The first thing the child noticed
in the room was the glare of the fire
in stove. She pointed to it and
said, in her childish lisp:
"Pitty"
Mustn't touch, baby" warned her
mother, drawing her away from the
stove.
Then the mother turned to talk
with her friend The very first thing
the baby did was to touch the hot
stove. The Mustn't touch" COM
mand of her mother only whetted her
curiosity and MADE her touch the
stove. But she burned her hand and
learned through experience not to
touch
The other day the mother of boy
in town here made some pumpkin
pies. AS she placed them near win
dow to cool she saw her young son
looking longingly at the steaming
pies.
Mustn't TOUCH" she warned, shak-
ing finger at him. Then she left
the room. The first thing her son did
was to grab one of the pies and eat it
all. He became very i'll.
He learned, through experience,
that he shouldn't eat too much pie.
The Mustn't touch" warning had
only made him all the more curious.
Men and women are only big boys
anu gins. 1llCy nave dlHlOSI Tie SAINT
thoughts and identically the same a
version to the phrase Mustn't
touch" Only in the realm of big
boy and girlhood it isn't mother or
father who says Mustn't touch," but
some law, framed by a zealot who
would try to make legislation do what
nothing but education or experience
will accomplish. Such laws are al
ways broken and thus is generated a
disrespect for good and necessary
laws.
If law was passed today pro-
hibiting a man having ham and eggs
for breakfast, it would be safe
wager that he would have ham and
eggs for breakfast for 1854 days out
Of the year and on the 365th day he
would have-ham and eggs.

SEEK RIGHT TO
FISH ON SUNDAY.
Fishermen claim The Present Law
Serves no Really Good
Purpose.

The Huntington Advertiser says:
The movement started some time
ago to have the section of the game
laws, forbidding Sunday fishing re-
pealed, seems to be meeting with
favor among anglers. In discuss
ing the matter local fisherman de-
clared that he believed were such
a bill presented to the legislature
that it would be passed without diff
ficulty.
Fishing is sport that takes the
individual into the open air. 1t is
not a vicious or Objectionable sport
and so long as an angler is fishing
along the banks of West Virginia
stream in an orderly fashion there
should be no objection.
"Often these anglers will take
their families and children to the
country while he angles. The re-
silt is pleasant weekend outing
that is bound to be beneficial to
people confined in the city. J be-
lieve the repeating the section of
the law forbidding Sunday ,ishing
would not weaken the present game
laws, and would find practically lit
tie opposition. | should like to see
the bill presented to the coming leg
islature and believe that anglers
should interest themselves and see
that such bill was presented and
acted upon.

MONEY IN THE BANKS

Interesting Statements Regarding De-

West Virginia banks have $135, 1885,
841.80 on deposit, according to the
figures compiled by R. B. Naylor, Sec
rotary of the Wheeling and state
boards of trade. Assuming that the
population has increased 81 per cent
since the 1910 census, which is ac-
cording to the figures of the United
States cencus experts at the present
time there would be 1,526,399 people
residing in the state. This makes the
per capita bank. deposits for West

DARN IT ALL.

The Regional Reserve banks open
ed last week and floating around the
country somewhere are about four
hundred millions of dollars in emer-
gency currency-that is, if we have
the dope right. That would make
about four dollars for every man,
woman and child in the country. All
this is in addition to the money that
was alleged to be in circulation be-
fore the regional banks opened Now
we have been looking forward to the
release of all this money, expecting
that we would, of course, get our four
dollars. But where is it? We said
nothing about this last week because
we wanted to give William McAdoo
and Paul Warburg a chance to get
on their feet and attend to the dis
tribution.
But ten or eleven days have gone
by and yet there is nothing doing.
This places US in an embarrassing
position. We had learned that the
Rock Island Railway was to have
been put up for sale at auction and
we expected to be able to buy it. Now
look at the hole we are inl Any day
they may decide to put up the rail
way and here we are without four
dollars. We have made up our mind
to one thing. If William McAdoc
ever runs for president, we will re-
fuse to support him and will leave
him fiat on his back.
