The Hills

Tho plainsl
Tho level fields 80 prone beneath the
stars
Are mans best servitors; It's there
he builds
His cities, there In sun and rain
lie plants the seed which later flows
away
To swing a-wash against the far sky
A tideless sea of blllowing grain.
The fields!
Tho far-flung burrows run like cpl
taphs
or savagery. They seem broIdered
Concealing no dim mysteries:
The dullest eye may read the flower
sweet lines,
The dullest heart may search tho les
sons out
An open page beneath the sky.
But, all,
The hills! Their silence and their
majesty,
The far-aloofness of their crags and
peaks
The sorcery OF trails untrodl
II is the hills that lure our souls TO
dreams,
Inc SUBMITS that still signal to the
stars
And lit our hearts to heights OF
God.

Moose Is Baking

The effort of Col Roosevelt TO de
llver the Bull Moose, hide. horns and
hair, to MIR. Hughes is becoming more
dhlicult every day II Is Just as diff
cult as transferring the affections of
woman to another man-which can't
bo done. One OF the real leaders of
the Progressive party In 1912 was
Francis J. IIeney the famous attor-
ney who prosecuted the graft cases in
San Francisco and who since has been
In the public eye. Mr.. Hcney not only
refuses TO be delivered. but comes out
for President Wilson I'm a letter in
which he refers TO some of the leaders
of the Republican party as Crooks"
and other mild terms. He writes:
Hughes merely represents the con
sent OF Penrose, Crane and Barnes to
permit the Republican party to have
as It's candidate n man selected by
themselves, who. therefore, II elected
President. would be disincllned TO at
tempt to dcstroy the continuation OF
their control of the nominating ma
chinery. and their power thus to re-
ward him with n nomination for a sec
ond term"
Heney criticises Hughes for per
mitting professional politicians to
make a nation wide canvass for his
nomination while he was still a mem
ber of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States"
In his voluntary determination TO
support President Wilson, Heney
shows that Roosevelt, abandoning his
principles, cannot force all the Pro-
gressives TO worship Baal-C Charles

Official investigation backed by the

that this will change the situation.

trying TO get together one regiment
out Of the two the Adjutant General
said were ready for service. At the
same time the census bureau has giv-
ON out a statement OF the estimated
number OF persons i'm each state cli-
gible for military service. The census
Of 1910 SIS used as basis and esti-
mates are made OF increased popula-
tion and the number Of aliens and per-
sons physically incapable Of bearing
arms. From these estimates 70 is said
there arc 2S1.179 persons in West
Virginia eligible for service. being
sound physically and between is and
70 years Of age. Evidently there must
have been some reason other than the
number OF eligible persons in the state
why the National Guard is not yet

ROSE POLY FORWARD
may join QUAkERS

Smith Grove, who starred as men,
Der of the Rose Poly basketball team
several years ago, probably will be-
come a member of the Richmond
Quaker team. Grove, who in his best
days was perhaps one of the best bas-
ket shooters in secondary collegiate
ranks of the state, is now employed
with the Pennsylvania company in
Richmond and would like to become
affiliated with the local team
The fact that the local team is shy
good offensive man at the present
time makes it appear likely that the
old Rose Poly star will be lined up for
Quaker position. Ted Laning and
Herb Logan, regular Quaker forwards
are both temporarily out Of the game
and the services of Grove would be
welcomed by Manager Horace Parker.
