Are Not Our Elementary Schools Gu,
Finishing SchooIs7

In the May American Magazine pnb-
lie school teacher speaks his mind about
our public schools. Following Is a part
OF what he says:
"Ninety-three out of every hundred do
not get beyond the elementary schools.
From here they leave, the voters Of to.
morrow, upon whose Judgment will de-
pend more and more directly tlle solution
OF the nations problems. And what are
these elementary schools? Merely step
ping.stoues for the high schools Frankly.
freely and nothing more.
"When are we going TO cease trying to
lift ourselves by our boot straps and
recognize the fact that the elensAalary
schools are the finishing schools Of the
nation?
And when are we going to br ak
away from this frantic struggle for
Standardization and bend orr energies
toward NATURALIZATION?
When shall we give 10 each child in
whatever time fortune may grant him
for schooling, the opportunity 70 acquire
the greatest powers Of his head and hands
unhampered by the limitations OF artificial
grading2"

Mine Safety and the Work Of the
Bureau Of Mines

According to the report for the year
1913 OF Director Holmes Of the Bureau of
Mines, during the few years since the be.
ginning of mine-safety investigations
there has been marked increase i'm the
general interest taken by miners, mine
owners and the general public in ques.
tons relating to mine safety, and a
marked decrease in the number OF fatal
ties and injuries Notwithstanding tine
increase in the number of men employed
in the mines The bureau has endeavored
TO organize and lead in the movement
for mine safety, and in addition to its
Investigations has disseminated a large
amount of information on accident pre-
vention. In this work it has had the CO.
operation OF state officials as well as miners
and mine-owners. The activity of the
bureau has resulted in increased efforts
on the part OF mine laboratories and
mining engineers to improve mine practice
and better equip the mines with safety
devices and rescue appliances. For
instance, at present there are several
thousand sets OF rescue breathing APP
paratus in use, besides auxiliary equip
ment for fire-fghting. Rescue stations
have been provided at which groups of
men have been instructed i'm the use of
apparatus and in mine-rescue work. This
work is also conducted by private agencies
and by the mine operators and the Red
Gross; but the demands OH the bureau for
such instruction have not diminished.
During the three years in which mine.
rescue and irst-aid work have been
taught, 81 .203 miners have been trained
in the use OF the necessary equipment
and in methods. During 1913 over 49,
600 persons (miners) visited the mine
rescue safety-cars and stations maintained
by the bureau, nearly SO, 900 miners at
tended the lectures, and more than 8, 500
miners were given rescue or frst-aid
training

The Common Fly a Deadly Pest

Now is the time to prevent the house
fly from appearing in large numbers this
summer. Little can be done by few
persons in putting down this nuisance. If
some neglect to do their part, for a single
pile of horse manure allowed to stand in
the open will furnish flies for the whole
neighborhood. The greatest good, there
fore, will result when all persons keeping
stables in the community have the ma
nure removed from the stables at least
twice week or keep the manure i'm a
screened portion OF the stable. Too much
emphasis cannot be put upon this method
of avoiding human sickness and suffer-
ing from the deadly diseases that the
house fly carries.
Combating the pest in country districts
and around farmhouses il largely an IN
dividual one, and the presence Of flies in
large numbers or TO q limited extent will
depend upon the sanitary conditions
around the house and barn. Aside from
hauling out the manure at regular in
tervals, all outhouses and similar places
should be protected from flies, as 1t is in
this manner that the fly assemblies the
germs Of disease and distributes them TO
ATTY exposed food. II cannot be too
strongly urged that all such places be
constructed a. sanitary as possible and
disiniectants freely used

Mr.. Farmer, you could plan 10 stone
that mud-hole near you, II one exists, or
perhaps you know Of rough stretch Of

How Wills Respsctsd . woman's
Courage

IL would take more than wounds TO
feaze this toughened brigand. Villa is
above all his allotted virtues and de-
ficiencies. a man of superb courage and
tenacity and at rare intervals he can
be even kind and chivalrous. During
his bandit days he went one afternoon
with few of his faithful followers to q
This ranch was owned by Mr. Gun
ther, Belgian and naturalized Ameri-
can citizen who had married Mexican
woman renowned for her beauty and
spirit. Mr.. Gunther raised the finest
racing horses in Mexico and those were
the object OF Villas visit. Arrived at
the ranch he was informed that the owner
was away, whereupon he instructed a
servant TO announce him TO Mrs. Gun
tner. That lady decided to receive the
famous outlaw, but under the protection
of the American flag. The Stars and
Stripes were hoisted IN the court yard
and the hostess appeared. Villa unabash-
ed by the formality of his reception, ask
ed permission to visit the stables, cody
urging that his own horses were old and
worn out and that it would be necessary
to replace them. Mrs. Gunther refused
to grant PERMISSION, reminding him that
her husband was not there to authorize
such n proceeding.
Very well, was the amiable assent,
"but would you not allow me to smoke a
cigarette and look. into your beautiful
eyes?"
The lady pointed to the American flag,
and while the bandits sentimental gaze
was so distracted she covered him with
her pistol. "But why?" he queried !;
you are my countrywoman
But an American citizen" was the
calm retort.
Overcome with admiration for the
woman's pluck, the daring rover gallant
ly removed his sumbrero, bowed and de-
parted, promising that he would never
| under any circumstances attack the
Gunther property. And he kept his
promise.-From "Pancho Villa, Man

Demand for smok.Is.. co.i

The occupation OF Vera Cruz by the
American troops, and the likelihood of
armed conflict with that country, to-
gether with the necessities of the Italian
navy have caused some activity in the
market of West Virginia smokeless coal.
When the fleet was suddenly ordered
to Vera Cruz, on a punitive expedition
against Huerta, the market for smoke
less coal was comparatively inactive. The
navy had at the tidewater all the coal
that was necessary in time of peace.
But the sudden dispatch OF the ships to
Mexico made it imperative that they
should be coaled quickly and that the
navy GOLFERS should be loaded to fill the
bunkres of the ships at Tampico and
Vera Cruz.
Accordingly, government officials serv-
ed notice on the operators of the New
River, Winding Gulf and Pocohontas
regions, that more coal was needed and
the mines started running on full time.
In addition to all this, the fiscal year
Of the Italian navy is drawing to close
The high officials of that navy have been
making tests of Goals for more than q
year, and have decided that the smoke.
less coal of West Virginia, which ha,
been used by the United States for some
years, is the best in the world for the
purposes Of the Italian navy.
They will go into the market for large
quantities OF this coal. As an indication
OF this one dealer alone, the other day
was cabled and asked to make bid or
385, 900 tons for the coming year. OF
course, this does not mean that Yves,
Virginia coal will be used exclusively 10y
the Italian navy. A great deal OF Welsh
coal is used now and will continue to be
used. But Welsh coal cannot be deliver.
ed as cheaply as West Virginia smoke,
less coal, and it has been proved that Il
has no better steaming qualities thar
the West Virginia coal. Smokeles
operators believe that they will get tin,
greater part OF the Italian business.

has been received in Cumberland and
was the subject OF admiration and more
or less wonder at the b. q o. roundhouse
there as we'll a. in the B q O. yards
when II arrived. The decapod is the
largest type OF locomotive ever build.
The one at Cumberland is so large that
part Of It's cab had 10 be removed to let
II pass through the smaller tunnels in the
east. II has ten driving wheels. The
drivers are 81 inch wheels-small wheels
size bcst adapted 10 hill climbing. The

gallons Of water. The decapod Is
equipped with Street stoker. The
engine is designed to pull train Of 3 $50
tons from Cumberland 10 Grafton over
the stiff l7-milc grace.
The bell on the engine is in front of
the headlight and operated by compressed

CANADA KEEPS wiMM,Mc
ChsmpIooships In APPRENTICESHIP
Latest In Winning Championship
for Oats . Third Time

Recently was published the fact of re-
markable winnings by Canadian farmers
in several events during the past three or
four years. The latest il that OF Messrs.
j. @. Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster,
Saskatchewan. who won in a hard con-
test for the oat championship over Nom
tana. At the National Corn Exposition
at Dallas, during February, Montana
oats We're awarded the championship for
the United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this TO be announced was a peck
OF oats belonging to the Canadian growers
above mentioned, and alongside OF these
was like quantity belonging to Mime
sofa grower who was barred from the
regular competition because he was ut
one time the winner OF the trophy--tht
prize. The three entries were eide by
side on the Judges bench. 1t would not
be possible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and Sask-
atchewan entries were OF equal weight
80 lbs, to the bushel. The Minnesota
sample was some three pounds lighter.
The award was unanimous in favor OF
the Saskatchewan oats. A remarkable
feature and one greatly to the credit Of
the Canadian product was that the oats,
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during the
past two years, winning on each occasion.
This, the third evening, gave them for
the third time the Worlds Champion
ship and full possession of the splendid
81 800 silver trophy contributed by the
State OF Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid adver-
Using card, were grown 800 miles north
of the International boundary line, prov
ing that in this altitude all the smaller
grains can be grown with great perfection
and with more abundant yield than
further south. In all this country are 10
be found farmers who produce oats run
ming from forty-two to forty-eight pounds
to the bushel and with yields from sixty
to one hundred bushels per acre. Wheat
also does well, grades high, and yields
from thirty to forty bushels per acre.
The same may be said OF any portion OF
| Minnesota, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
famed over the world not only as a
country where championship grains are
grown, but where cattle and horses are
raised that carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant yielders,
cultivated hay and alfalfa are grown,
thus giving plenty Of feed and with q
good climate, sufficient shelter and plenty
OF water, bring about results such as
Western Canada has been able to record.
Thousands of farmers from the United
States who have their homes'in Canada
bear ample testimony to the benefits
they have driven from farming in West
ern Canada. Adv.

Mothers Day Proclamation

Governor III. ID. Hatfield has issued the
following proclamation for the observ-
ance of Mothers Day" in West Vir-
GINA on Sunday, May 10:
"Amid the busy, perplexing scenes oil
life there is always with us the comfort
ing, cheering thought that whatever else
may betide, whatever misfortune may
overtake us, there IS always one who
never betrays nor forsakes. The sweet,
tender, divine love Of Mother abides and
endures, to counsel and console when all
else has failed. Her sanity voice may
have since been silenced by death, but
the memory of her prayer, her kindly
advice and love, is with us still, and is
the most noble influence In our lives. No
condition has ever lessened that love or
destroyed Mothers faith in lIer child.
In prosperity the love Of Mother gives in
creased joy; in poverty il brings en-
enlargement; in despair, cheer and glad.
ness, and when mantIed in the shadow
OF death the love and devotion Of Mother
gives faith and hope.
That we may for time turn our hearts
and minds to her who has blessed, loved
and sacrificed for us, that we may pay
tribute to her sacred memory II she be
not living, and il living, that we may
manifest our appreciation Of her love and
devotion, /, Henry ID. Hatfield, gov
ernor of the state Of West Virginia, do
hereby designate and proclaim Sunday,
May 10, 1914, Mothers Day, and recon-
mend that it be observed By appropriate
services in all Of the churches and other
places Of worship throughout the state. "
