SO THURSDAYS THIS YEAR

Rhame Review:-From the fact
that there is n day more than an
even number of weeks in the year,
each year there is one day in the
week that occurs So times, and in
leap year two days occur So times. If
there were no leap year, one year in
each seven would have So Thursdays,
but with every fourth year having an
extra day, it brings it to about two
years in eleven that any given day of
the week will occur So times.
In 1899, when Sunday occurred So
times, an article went the rounds of
the press, calling attention to the fact
and stating that it would be about
ZIG years before it occurred again.
In 1905 when the same thing occurred
again, the same article, with dates
changed, again was circulated. And
in 1911 it bobbed up again and one
or two of the leading papers of this
section of the state fell for it, and we
suppose that they will again in 1916,
which will also have So Sundays.
The latest mistake of this kind and
the cause of this article, is the arti-
Gle in the Bowman Citizen last week,
stating that it would be eleven years
before this would occur again, and
that it was eleven years since it &C.
Cured last. If the editor of the Citi-
zen will refer back, he will find that
1908 had So Wednesdays and Thurs
days, and if he will count ahead he
will find that 1920 will have So
Thursdays and Fridays.

been to interview different implement
firms in regard to a proposed invention
on which he has labored for the past
few months. The invention is in the
form Of a shock buncher, the idea
being to do away with bundle teams
in shock threshing. The new device
thought out by Mr.. Paulson carries
out this idea and when perfected
ought to find a ready market. The
implement men interviewed by Mr..
Paulson were all Of the opinion that
it was an innovation over anything
on the market in it's line and could
see no reason why the device could
not be patented, manufactured and
become a practical farm implement.
Mr.. Paulson will endeavor to have a
model made and exhibited and if it
meets with the approval of the farm
ers will have it manufactured and
placed on the Market Taylor Re-
porter.

KANAN WAS L T.

Fryburg Pioneer:-The case OF
Kanan VS.. Rue came to trial in justice
court mere last Saturday afternoon,
Geo. T. Dollard appearing for the
plaintiff and H. H. Fitzsimmons for
the defendant. Kanan brought suit
for an account of $28, which, from
evidence produced appeared to be
muchly padded and a judgment was
given him to the amount of 1855.
Plaintiff pays costs of action amount
ing to $21.35, which far exceeds the
amount of judgment rendered. Some
case, alright.

WESTERN HOSPITAL
N EXCELLENT SHAPE
Year and Took Care of Many
More Patients.
INTERESTING REPORT MADE
Bears Out Report OF Eastern State
Hospital That Insanity Is On In
crease-Some Facts and Fig
ures.

The testimony of the superintendent
of the Eastern State Hospital to the
effect that insanity is on the increase
in Virginia is borne out by the an
nual report of the superintendent of
the Western State Hospital, at Staun-
ton. DIR. J. S. DeJarnette, which was
Submitted tn the Governor yester
day.
DR.. DeJarnette states that he has
received, during the fiscal year end
ing September 80, the eighyt-eigntn
year of its existence, 13 more pa
tients than he did the previous year
total Of Asa admissions during the
year. There are now in the hospi-
tai LII patients-735 males and 676
females. There were 265 discharges
granted during the year and Iii
deaths. There were seventy-eight
granted furloughs.
Only III Deaths.
OF the deaths there were fourteen
from pellagra; three from paresis:
eight from tuberculosis, and fifteen
.of pneumonia, and SO per cent of
the deaths were those OF patients
over the age of fifty and fourteen
over eighty. In recapitulating the
causes of Insanity among the pa
tients under his care. DR.. DeJarnette
notes that there are ninetythree
VICTIMS Of drug habit and twenty
from alcohol.
He calls attention to the record of
the institution. which, he claims, has
a smaller death rate; is conducted
more economically and cures more
cases of insanity than any similar
institution in the country. He gives
figures to substantiate his claims and
invites a comparison with other in
stitutions. The per capita cost OF
maintenance for the year was s11s.04.
which is something like $40 less than
the per capita maintenance figures at
the Eastern Hospital.
The ratio of recoveries as com
pared to the number of patients was
40 per cent; of discharge IS per
cent and of deaths only "a per cent.
The net profits from the farm and
gardens OF the institution during the
year amounted to $l7.SS0.56.
Needs New Building.
DR. DeJarnette strongly recon-
mends a new male building for the
institution, which, with proper
equipment, he figures will cost ss7.-
500, and which will enable the hospi-
tai to care for all patients who need
the institutions care and avoid any
necessity of keeping these unfortu
preparation OF $142,s2S.40 for the
maintenance of the institution for the
coming year.
The institution lived within its In
come the past year owing to the policy
of rigid economy adopted by the Of
ficials and had small balance in
the treasury. The condition of the
building is good and the general
health of the patients excellent.

LET NOT LURE Of POWER
DIVERT MINISTRY
Rev. Or. ". h. Bcauchamp's Sermon
a Living Appeal to Preachers
/. For Strong Spiritual
Service.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 1s.-Warnings
against allowing themselves to be In
fluenced by the pull OF the world, the
lure Of power and position into for
getting the true meaning of being a
minister Of the Gospel were given
the members of tn Methodist, Confer
ence in the opening sermon at the
Cumberland Street Church last night
These warnings were delivered by
Rev. w B. Beauchamp. D. D., OF
Danville, in a sermon that stirred not
only the ministers but the lay men,
bers OF the overflow congregation.
Taking his text from the second let
ter of ST. Paul to Timothy, 4th chap
ter and 5th verse. and using the quo
tation Fulfill Thy Ministry" as bis
subject, DIR. Beauchamp plead for q
greater activity in preaching the Cos
pei of Christ, Savior of Men, not only
locally. but In worldwide sense
Messengers of God.
Prefacing his remarks with a Quo-
tation from Professor Matthews, OF
Chicago University, to the effect that
the day was fast approaching when
ministers would be little more than
doors OF chores in the neighborhood
where he worked. DR.. BeAuchamp
said the pull Of the world, the social
bervice work. the desire to hold power
and be conspicuous were drawing the
ministers away from their real work.
He declared that minister OF the
Gospel Is first and foremost q meg
senger of God to mankind with the
saving of mems souls as the only real
and true message and that when they
let other work come first they were
failing to fulfill their missions. In
this connection he referred to the re-
cent experiences OF Rev. DR.. Hills,
of Brooklyn. who had confessed to
his congregation that he had allowed
worldly things to supersede the work
of preaching the Gospel.
