A Good Rain

One of the most welcome visit
ors in Meade county in many
months was the rain last Wed.
nesday and Wednesday hight.
The precipitation was IA inch-
es and was unaccompanied by
wind, thus every drop went into
the ground. There is little won
der that the rain was appreciat-
ed, when it is known that it is
the first of any consequence
since last October.
There are many different opIn
ions regarding the condition of
the wheat. Many say that the
rain came too late, that a large
percent of the wheat is dead.
Others insist that much of it is
yet alive and will make a fair
crop. A few days time will set
tie the argument. At any rate
the dustis settled and everyone
feels better.

Will Publish Names

Beginning next month, the
names of all persons receiving
assistance from Reno county
will be published along with 9TH
er official business of the coun y
com missioners.
A resolution to this effect was
passed yesterday by the county
board, follo wing lorg discuss
ion. The resolution calls upon
the poor com missioner TO iur-
nish to the board each mon h a
detailed statement of all aid eX'
tended, the nun ber in the fam
lily helped, the amountg given, and
how long they have been public
charges.
The board is trying TO reor-
ganize the charity system to
make it harder for undeserving
persons and easier for the de-
serving ones to get assistance.
"We do not care whether they
like it or not, said Peter Deck,
leading exponent of the system,
IF they do MOI like it they can
stop applying for aid. ."-Hutch'
inson Gazette.
1t strikes us that Reno county
has advanced a most excellent
idea and other counties in the
state would do well TO follow
suit.

WALDO HOTEL GOES
BACK TO COAL FUEL

OLARKGSBURG, w. Va, Nov. T.
The Waldo hotel has cut out gas and
is heating its ovens with good-old
fashioned West Virginia coal. Many
of the large buildings in Clarksburg
and some of the manufacturing plants
have recently taken to coal instead
of gas so that manufacturing con
Germs requiring gas and schools and
such buildings may be the better
supplied. Several factories have
found it difficult to get coal inasmuch
as cars were necessary to transport
it from the mine a distance of a few
miles to the factory. The Baltimore
n Ohio has advised such concerns
to purchase individual cars but the
project does not appeal to smaller
factories.

Certainly it would be economy the examination process
must be repeated just prior to each summons.
Again any man who is In doubt about his ability to pass
