In Memorlam

Died July "a, 1914, at Bruceton Mills,
w. Va, Mrs. Minerva Jane Neff, aged
so years. one month and nine days. The
deceased was the daughter OF John and
Julia Weaver, and was born near Easton,
MonongalIa county, w. Va, June Is,
1882. When % years OF age she was
united in marriage to Cornelius Bowlbv,
and to this union three children were
born.
This young wife and mother was called
to pass through the great and unusual
sorrow OF losing, by death from diph-
liberia, her entire family within the short
period of ten days.
On September 8, 1864, she was married
to John Thomas Neff, who departed this
life only two weeks ago. Three children
blessed this union, one daughter Jessie
W., dying in infancy, the surviving ones
being Minnie c., wife of julius X.
Monroe, and Capt. John Harry, now in
the Philippine Islands.
Mrs. Nef was most faithful and con-
sistent member of the Kingwood Presby-
terrain church over forty years, ever ready
for any work to uplift and help in the
cause Of Christianity.
Her strength Of character and sterling
worth, shown perhaps the greatest, in
her home, where she was always faithful
and devoted to her husband and children,
familiar expression OF hers being,
"Within Gods care and my family
around me / am happy all the day."
She was good neighbor and friend, and
was just and kind to all with whom she
came in contact.
Funeral services were held i'm the
Presbyterian church, July &c, 1914, at
IL O'Clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Frank M. Patterson, assisted by Rev. A.
ID. Craig OF the NJ. T.. church, after which
the remains were laid to rest i'm the King
wood cemetery.
The same large gathering OF friends and
neighbors, who just two weeks ago
gathered to pay their last respects to the
husband OF the deceased, were in attend
ance.
Fitting, indeed, seemed the short part
ing of tins aged pair who had lived so
long together here, for them "There was
no death, what seemed 80 was transition
TO the life Elysium, whose portal we call
death" they have journeyed on to dwell
in "A house not built by hands," leaving
behind them the memory Of good, Chris
tan people. loved and respected by all
who knew them.

On Elevated and EdtSyIns Plan
Observations that Contain Much
Food For Thought
Editor Argus:

Editor Argus:
1t was with extreme chagrin that
read the letter in last weeks Terra Alta
Republican headed "a LEADER" II was
not only vicious and vile in its attack on
afellow creature but, TO me, was blasphe-
nous and deserving only OF the severest
condemnation by all honest and honor
able citizens.
Ii is not within my province to take
issue with any man because OF his politi-
cal or religious belief. l do, as citizen,
however. take pride in seeing only the
best men selected for public office, no
matter to what particular party they may
claim allegiance. / do claim, though,
that our political campaigns could be
conducted on much more elevated plan
than what they are at present. In this
uplifting the press can contribute beyond
estimation. That cause Is, indeed, weak
that must resort TO personal villification,
as in the above instance which l have
cited. Not only must the cause be weak i,
but IL will be administered as singing
rebuke by all honest and fair-minded citi-
zens because OF the over-zealous efioI Is
OF one indiscreet adherent.
Again, / repeat, the writer OF the above
named article is guilty of blasphemy,
because he goes to Holy Writ (see St.
Matthew. chapter ", verses $40 inclu-
sive) for smile, and in 30 doing he
compares the finite creature to that of
the Infinite Creator. II I have properly
understood my theological instruction,
this is one OF the most heinous offenses
that can be committed against Almighty
God. 1t may be that the writer of the
article in question did this unwittingly
and unintentionally, and the contrary
may be true. In any event, he is the
one that shall have to answer to the One
offended. While there may be no con-
science in politics and the methods used
by politicians dare say this mans con-
science will reprove him within the secret
recesses of his own soul.
One more word and will have finished.
Why an article of such obvious odium
would or could escape the scrutinizing
eye of discerning editor is indeed, mys-
tifying and deserving of some public ex-
PLANTATION.

What Make. MIX and Butter yellow
ANTI-FETT
Albright, Too, July rs.

That the rich yellow color demanded
by the public in dairy products is pri-
marlly due to the character of the cows
feed is demonstrated by various expert
ments carried on by the department in
cooperatlon with the Missouri State Ex-
pertinent Station. For some years dairy
experts have been studying this question.
Their conclusion is that, although to some
extent a breed characteristic, the intensity
OF this yellow color may, within certain
limits, be increased or diminished at will
by changing the animals rations.
Chemical tests show that the yellow
pigment in milk consists OF several well
known pigments found in green plants.
Of these the principal one is carotin, so
called because 1t constitutes large part
OF the coloring matter OF carrots. The
other yellow pigments in the milk are
known as xanthophylls. These are found
in number Of plants including grass but
are especially abundantm yellow autumn
leaves.
These pigments pass directly from the
feed to the milk. This explains the fact
that fresh, green grass and carrots in
crease the yellowness OF butter. the only
standard by which the average person
judges its richness. On the other hand
large proportion OF these pigments are
deposited in the body fat and elsewhere
in the COW. When the ration is changed
to one containing fewer carotin and kan
thophyll constituents, this boarded store
IS gradually drawn upon and i'm conse-
quence the yellowness OF the mill does
not diminish so rapidly as IL otherwise
would. This yellowness increases how
ever, the instant the necessary plant pig.
ments are restored to the ration.
Green grass is probably richer in carotin
than any other dairy feed. Cows fed on
twill therefore produce the hi9hestcolored
butter. Green corn, in which xantbo.
phyllis constitutes the chief pigment, will
also produce a highly-colored product.
On the other hand, ration of bleached
clover hay and yellow corn is practically
devoid Of yellow pigments and the milk
from cows fed upon il will gradually lose
its color. II is, Of course, indisputably
true that the breed does influence the
color OF the milk fat; but vary the ration
and there will be a corresponding vari.
alton in the color Of the milk fat in each
breed.
In cows Of the Jersey and Guernsey
breeds the body fat is frequently Of such
deep yellow color that some butchers
and consumers look with disfavor upon
beef from these breeds For this preiu.
dice there Is absolutely no justification.
The yellowness Of the fat springs from
the same causes ~ the ycllowncss Of the
milk fat, and there Is no reason for OBJ
jecting in one case to the very thing
that is priced in the other.

NOTHING WRONG

In talk with President Wilson few
days ago Henry Ford, the millionaire
automobile manufacturer. said:
There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business. The only trouble is that
some people seem to be pessimistic. II
every one would cheer up and attend To
his business this calamity talk would
stop Immediately"
This Is the evidence OF one OF the mos,
successful manufacturers in the world.
He is in position to know. As he says,
there is nothing wrong with the bust.
ness OF the country. The only trouble is
the calamity howlers refuse to cheer ur
and enjoy prosperity. They have been
bowling so long they actually believe that
which they have been bowling about
which is purely a creature OF their own
imagination.

THE REASON

The principal reason, outside the
fragrant and extraordinary extravaganza
OF the state administrations, for the deficit
OF over 81 200, 900 is traceable to the
board OF public works, which reduced
the state tax from ten TO six cents Had
the board left it at ten cents, as the legis-
lature placed il, there would have been
but small deficit. The board is COM
posed OF the state officials who had prom
ised under the Dawson tax laws to wipe
out the state tax, a wiping out which
simply shifted the tax from the state To
the counties. This was one OF the cleverest
pieces OF deception in the whole tax laws.
IL appealed to the man who wanted his
tax ticket reduced. He did not stop 10
inquire how this revenue which they pro-
posed TO wipe out was to be raised. A
reflection that the state had no money
except as it collected it in taxation from
Its citizens would have convinced him tina,
when the state tax was wiped out some
other form OF taxation would have TO be
substituted. The form substituted in the
Dawson laws was placing it on the
counties.
But TO get back to the reason why the
members OF the board Of public works
reduced the state tax from ten to six
cents. The members knew that to make
it ten cents it would increase the tax re-
ceipt 80 great that big howl would 90
up from those who have been voting for
the Republican machine candidates. So
they concluded to reduce it to six cents
and trust to Providence that the people
would not learn there was deficit. They
have been fooling the people so long that
they still hoped they could continue the
deception. But they have been caught
in their own trap.

Tracy l.. Jefords. who calls Harpers

years ago, it is understood George Bowers

There is still another candidate in L..

little good or bad is said. He has been
a candidate several times in the past but
has not vet reached Congress. He will
try again for nomination this year.
The convention will be held at Elkins

it will prove to be one OF the most inter-

While the salary OF the postmaster at
Morgantown was increased by reason OF
the increased business done by that Office
in the last year, the salary OF the assistant
postmaster in charge Of Seneca station OF
the Morgantown post office was not
effected. Through the efforts of Con-
gresham Brown the salary for Seneca
station has been increase dby 500 year.
The post Office at Glebe will not be
closed, as had been threatened by the
Post Office Department because no one
could be found to accept the position of
postmaster there. Congressman Brown
persuaded Mamie ID. Miller, the present
postmaster, to accept the office again and
keep it open because of the inconvenience
to its patrons should the Office be closed.
Congressman Brown has filed an APP
plication for the establishment OF post
office at Whitmer, Randolph county.
Whitmer and Horton are known as
twin towns" being separated only by
the railroad tracks. Horton has post
office but the people OF Whitmer state
that it is dangerous for them to cross
the railroad tracks in order to reach the
post Office and for that reason they should
have an Office OF their own. The indi-
cations are favorable for the establish
ment Of the Office.
The post office at Lead Mine, Tucker
county, which was recently discontinued,
has been ordered re-established. A large
lumber company has extensive logging
operations near Lead Mine and has given
assurance that one of its employees will
act as postmaster il the Office is opened
again.
The post office at Nome, Pendelton
county, has been ordered discontinued
August 10. Mail for patrons Of the office
will be sent after that date to Circleville.
