A LAW Thnt Ranefits.

AS dispatches say, unlike the other
disastrous p mine explosions in this
state, the widows, children and other
dependents of the Eccles disaster will
be taken care of by fund created
by the employers and employees, made
possible when the legislature enacted
the workmen's compensation act,
which became effective October i,
1913. At the present time this fund
has about S325,O60. part OF which has
been invested. Persons connected
with the workmen's compensation
fund estimated the EccIes mine dis
aster has caused. an obligation OF not
less than $560,O00. A comparatively
smaII amount will be needed immedi-
ately.
The law provides that in the case OF
the death of an employee the widow
shall receive. $40 month as long as
she lives and does not remarry, and
So a month for each child under the
age of Is years anG until such child
reaches the. age of Is years, with a
maximum of $50 month to any widow
and her children. BY remarriage the
widow not only cuts herself OF but
also cuts off any compensation that
might thereafter be due any of her
children under the age Of Is years.
An examination of the list of names
OF those taken from the Eccles mine
and those entombed shows that there
will be not less than 100 widows, and
at least 200 children under the age
Of 10 years who will become depend
ents { under the workthen's compen-
sation fund. The workmen's com
pensation ftind Will prove Godsend
to these widows and orphans az
Eccles, and every effort will be made
to pay the claims as quickly as each
case. can be put, into shape.

spray to Avoid ..Mortny. AppIes.

Now that apple blossoms are swell
ing and almost ready to burst, the
careful orchardist will prepare to
fight the Cooling moth. The injury
caused by this moth will not be. ap-
parent at this season, and the moth
itself may not even. be seen 4since 1t
generally does It's work at night. But
the eggs deposited here and there
over the surface of the apple, while
the latter is still in the blossom, will
soon hatch and the small larva will
enter the blossom end to begin its
work Of destruction which finally ends
in worthless fruits. If some OF your
apples colored up extra early last
summer and then fell to the ground a
few weeks later, displaying brown
worm-holes penetrating the surface,
1t is safe to assume that your orchard
is troubled with Cooling moths.
From the foregoing It will be seen
that the codling moth spray must be
given at very special time, namely,
just before the blossom end of the
apple closes up or, as is usually rec
commended, Just as the petals are fall
ing from the blossoms. The time for
spraying should be carefully watched
and spray containing two or three
pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons Of water must be thrown upon
the tree with some force so as to
enter the blossom end of the young
fruits.
If the work is thoroughly done, one
spray may control the Cooling moth,
but usually it will be found necessary
to spray once or even twice again at
at later date.
For further information and com
plete spraying Instructions. write the

Agriculture, West Virginia University.

T1lat Cenlsiiiis EatiIilate.

The census bureau in estimating
the present census OF clarksburg In
side its corporate limits evidently
Disregard the percentage OF increase
shown at the end of the 1910 ten
year period, else 1t would have given
ClarlSsburg a much larger population
now than 1t lid give it..
In 1900 the census Of Clarksburg
was officially reported as 1850 and
in 1910, 9y201, howing rate Of in
crease Of more than 1927 per cent.
Using that rate Of percentage, the
present population Of Clarksburg In.
side Its corporate limits should be at
least '12s5O7 instead of only. 1888
as stated by the census bureau.
Instead OF using a percentage
basis in estimating the growth of the
city, the census bureau took
the entire increase in ten years as
Its basis and then simply took four
tenths of the increase ana added II
to 9,201, method as crude as 1t is
unjust.
The census department overlooked
The fact that Clarksburg showed by
the 1910 census a most remarkable
increase in percentage, while other
cities in the state had only a very
ordinary percentage increase.

The Youngsters Summer.

The youngsters summer is some
thing to think about just now. AS
an exchange says, schools days for
the present term will soon be over.
Have you made any plans for the
summer vacation insofar as your
children are concerned? Or have
you Just decided to let the matter go
and let the youngsters work out
their own destiny in the weeks OF
idleness during the hot weather.?
The children should have rest
from their school work during the
summer vacation time. But that
does not mean LEY should be per-
nlitted to run wild, being. a menace
10 their own best interests and pos
sablyfa pest to their neighbors.
The children can have a perfectly
good ana enjoyable summer vacation
aud at the same time submit to a
little supervision over tAAir activities
which will prove beneficial to all con-
eerned. Give the growing youngsters
some little occupation during the va
cation days. They do not need hard
work and should not have 1t either.
but something definite to employ a
part of their idle hours will ibe found
wen worth while and, viii do. good
for the youngsters ana for the older
folk also. Summer gardens are
among the numerous suggestions
made for this summer Vocation en-
aployment, hut that is only one sug-
gestion and every parent can work
out the best plan for his own chill
dren in view of the particular cir
,ctmetances in his own case.
The thing is to give some reason
able direction to the vacation actiy-
tiles, some direction which will
make the summer mean something
beside mere waste of time and mis-
chieyous idleness to the growing
children.

Childhood Ailments.

The Washington, Pa, Reporter Is
numbered among the journals which
Internationally believe that 1t is
neither necessary nor wise to allow
the contraction of such diseases as
humps, measles, whooping cough
and the like by children. An expo
sition Of the doctrine in Its editorial
columns is prompted by an unusually
large number OF deaths in its com
munity during the last several
weeks as a result OF complications
following those and other children's
diseases. Says the Reporter:
Is 1t not shout time for everyone
to recognize the fact that measles,
whooping cough and numps are not
simple little harmless AILMENTS abso-
luteIy necessary to the proper rear
Ing of the youhgs Is It not about
time for the people generally to APP
preciate the fact. that the doctors
have already appreciated and &C.
knowledged that these ailments are
dangerous and deadly and that 1t is
nothing short of downright wicked
ness to insist on children, being ar
Id,cted by them?

parent believed It the part of duty
to take pains to have children In
