No GRADE CROSSING BRIDGE.

1t is understood that the city
council is considering the ques-
ton of constructing a grade
crossing steel bridge at Sixth
street instead of an overhead
steel bridge. There should be no
thought of that.
"A bridge on grade is menace
to public safety. Cities and
railroads all over the country
are spending millions of dollars
So changes in order to get away
from grade crossings. Under
no circumstances should the city
council here establish and build
a grade crossing bridge.
The will of the people of the
city should be respected and
their personal safety should be
held sacred in this matter. They
are to pay for the bridges and
they have the right to have their
safety guaranteed.

west Virginia Ready.

There mas been no boosting on the
part of Huntington officers OF the
West Virginia National Guard, nor
has there been any on the part OF
the enlisted men who comprise the
Huntington companies. But since
the Mexican crisis broke with a
fury that mas seemed to mean that
war is inevitable, there has been a
quiet d;gnified and convincing be-
havior on the part of all which indt-
Gates more clearly than pretentious
boastlng that officers and men are
ready, if called upon, to so to the
front, or into the heart of Mexican
territory if duty shall call them
there. This spirit is by no means
confined to the trained so;cIers of
the city. is shared by all abe
bodied men, and it pervades the
whole citizenship, old and young.
That the same thing is true OF the
whole of West Virginia is not to be
doubted. President Wilson can be
assured that the militia of no state,
the people of no state, the governor
of no state, will affor dhim more
loyal support than the militia, the
people and the governor of West
Virginia. - Huntington Hera1d-Dis-

princeton Plan at Other Colleges.

: Princeton Plan at Other Colleges.
the preceptoria1 method Of IN
structIon inauGurated 10y president
Wilson at Princeton University mas
so amply proved its value That
number of other institutions nave
part declares DIR. s. P. Capen, spe-
cialist in higher education or the
limited States Bureau of Education,
in a statement Just issued. Bowdoln
COLLEGE is one of the latest converts
to the idea, according TO Dr. Capen.
In Bowdoin College the prsceptor-
iaI method has been applied to his
tory, government ana English liter
allure. Group conferences of five or
six students have replaced quiz
sections in these subjects. President
Hyde finds that the new plan costs
double in money, time and labor
but bears fruit four fold in in vital
ity. responsibility and scholarly am
bftiuns' one OF the developments of
the work at Bowdoin has been a
course in English composition Tor
the best six writer's in college, with
six professors to teach them. Presl-
dent Hyde answers one of the ob1ec-
lions sometimes urged against the
plan by declaring: t'G!ving the most
vital and costly instruction to a lin
tied number of those who prove most
competent to profit by it is not In
consistent with democratic equality
OF opportunity freely offered to all. ="
DR., Capen points out that the only
reason many more colleges do not
adopt the preceptorial plan Is the
expense involved. The plan requires
3 subst antial increase In teaching
force. and successful "preceptors"
must Hoe men of high ability, sound
training and culture. To attract
such men good salaries must he paid,
and Bowdoin proposes to devote be
quests amounting to 100000 to the
single purpose Of raising salaries.

one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some of the pimples
would get big and red and If touched
them they would pain, while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and l scratched them so that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.

KOSHER KING SOLD 5000 PIES
"Uncie Nanny" Barnet Was One of
the Famous East End Characters
Of London.

London, Emanuel Barnet, known as
the Kosher King" one of the famous
East End characters of London, died
recently after remarkable career
From little shop in Hounsditch
which he opened fifty years ago he de-
veloped an enormous organization for
the supply of kosher food to the Lon
don Jews, and supplies not only the
orthodox poor but the orthodox rich
with meat and poultry killed accord
ing to the requirements Of the Hebrew
code. Practically the whole of the
high class West end trade in kosher
food was In his hands. The West end
hospices entertaining orthodox Jews
had always looked upon Barnet as a
solution Of delicate points of dietetics.
Barnet was known to Petticoat
Lane as Uncle Nanny" and was well
known for his generosity to his poorer
co-religionists. While his firm was
converted into limited company, he
was always the central figure. In this
capacity he made a practice of Sc
curing the best beef animals on the
market, and many of the winners at
Smithfeld show have in times past
borne the additional ticket sold to
Mr. Barnet"
Among the more renowned Jewish
delicacies his Kosher ham," an imita-
ton of the real pig, but made of
smoked shoulder of mutton, and the
celebrated Kosher sausages," also
free from pork, were notable lines,
Another was the penny pie" which
sold to the enormous quantity of five
hundred dozen a day.
In the days when the unexpected
landing of a host of Jewish immigrants
strained the resources Of the Jewish
benevolent committees Uncle Nanny"
helped materially by sending neces.
sary supplies.

Cranberry Crop May surpass 1918.

Word from both the eastern ano

the 1914 crop Of cranberries will be
larger than that of last year, owing to
unfavorable weather conditions there
Will be much less than was expected
several weeks ago.
commission men declare the Wis.
consin crop will be fully 10000 bar
rels larger this year. ! Reports show
than the Massachusetts crop is ex-
pected to be about the same, while
that of New Jersey will be about 25,.
600 barrels larger
There is no reason for the fall
prices in cranberries to rise said
Henry Eilinghausen of the A. G.. Eiss.
Ter company. Last year early east.
ern cranberries were quoted at SIS a
barrel, rising to $3.50 during October
and November. With the larger crop
this year and taking into consideration
the lack of exporting facilities, the
prices should go lower"
That the unusually large crop of ap-
pies gathered throughout the United
States and Canada this year will have
depressing effect on the home can
ming of cranberries is the belief of
commission merchants. There Is a
marked falling off in the purchasing Of
fruit jars and cans. The high price Of
sugar is also q consideration.

miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for it takes

This is a landing place for the Pacific
