A VERY. IMPORTANT OFFICE.

The election of competent and in
terested men as members of the
Boards of Education is most i'm
portant matter and one that should
be given the fullest consideration by
the voters in the various magisterial
districts in the county.
The education of the youth of our
county is a matter that should not
for one moment be overlooked and in
electing men to these positions we
should select the best, regardless of
party affiliations. 1t is mater that
should not be mixed up in politics,
as the school children of all parties
are the ones that are most vitality
concerned, and while we are along
this line it might be well to remark
that in Barker District, we are very
fortunate in having Mr.. j. N. Bibey,
of Junior, as man who has con-
sented to run for the office of mem
Der of the board, and he has promis-
ed to give his time and attention to
the duties Of the office should the peo-
pie see fit to elect him.
Mr.. Bibey is native of Barbour
county and Barker district, having
been born near Belington AZ years
ago. He was born on the farm and
has since followed that vocation prac-
tically oil his life. He attended the
public schools, and for several terms
has been trustee if the Junior school
giving entire satisfaction to all the
patrons at that place
Mr. Bibey is patron of the schools
and takes an active interest in all
matters pertaining thereto. A vote
for him will be vote in the right
direction. You should be interest
ed in the schools and should place in
office as member of the board of
education men who you know will
take an interest in your children the
same as his own.

THE TOWN PUMP

A good place to feel the pulse of
civic life is at the public drinking
trough. The ebb and flow of animal
life, as it quenches it's thirst at the
public fountain gives us an estimate
of the wealth, population and pros
perity of the community; the charac-
acter and stability of all the best
people and the utility, plasuere and
hardships of it's citizens. There is
no better place to study the progress
of the community than at the town
pump.
Every village in West Virginia
should have town pump and every
city with waterworks should have a
drinking fountain where stream of
pure running water, freely dispenses
Adams Ale to the thirsty populace.
Pure water and plenty of it is a .ood
community buiidsr.
what say yoa entarp1ising business
men of Belington. to placing a drink
ing fountain at some convenient
place in the city? The cost will not
amount to much and the Progressive
will be glad to donate its share in the
erection and maintaining of public
drinking fountain. OF course it is
not needed right now, but next spring
would be the time to erect one. 1t is
really a matter that should be taken
IN Cargo by the members of the civic
league

MORALS OF THE CHILD

Parents, set your children a good
example by going to church Sunday
The man of the home who bravely
declares that the churches are for the
women folks as he lies in bed or ar
ranges to spend the day in some I'M
igodly way not only injuries himself,
but his idle, boastful words are heard
by the little boy or girl at home.
Children are impressionable, and they
quickly accept the fathers viewpoint.
Where is the father who is not in
terested in the morals of his child?
And where will the child be taught
Lessons of righteousness if not in the
house of God? The example of
father who is regular attendant at
church is more powerful than any
sermon that can be preached If you
think you are too far advanced in
thought, if you are sure that the
clergymen's sermons are dry, if you
must forgOe an hour of your slum-
Der Sunday, make sacrifice for
your little boy or your little girls
sake.
Recall the days when you were a
child and how you watched your dear
parents trudge off to church on the
Sabbath. Of course the world was
not as advanced then as it is today.
But many of the so-caled advances
really are recesions. In many places,
thanks to this advanced thought, the
name of God doesn't obtain the rever-
ence it did when you were a child
There is 10 denying that "going to
church" has detrioated in many of the
so called enlightened communities.
This enlightenment is only dark
ness. Where is the scientist or lead
er in advanced thought that compares
with God? Churches are the houses
of God. There you will hear the word
of God. They should be filed to over
flowing.
Help swell the attendance by going
TO CHURCH Sunday.
LISTEN FOR THE BELL and GO
TO CHURCH next Sunday.
