THE STARS AND STRIPES
PREFACE TO SERMON BY
REV. VIM. X. WOOD

At the Penney Memorial Baptist church
Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. William
r. Wood preached a mastery sermon
on the subject "At Their Wits End"
which was listened to by a large con-
gregation and thoroughly enjoyed. Be
fore commencing his sermon Mr.. WOOD
prefaced 1t with the following beautiful
and most timely sentiment
THE STARS AND STRIPES.
In view of the national crisis through
which we are passing and beholding the
ominous clouds that loom darkly across
our sky 1t has seemed fitting to the par
ish committee, and to other members of
the church who have been consulted, that
we should at this time unfurl the Stars
and Stripes in front of our church home
In doing this we would declare to all
who enter these doors, and to all others
who pass by, our conviction that religion
and patriotism Joined together constitute
our supreme national bulwark. Give us
citizenship born of Christian faith and
practice and our republic will live for
ever.
The church stands for God and the flag
for our republic; together they should
remind the citizen of his dependence on,
and obligation to- the Almighty Father,
and of his duty to his country.
This emblem floating over the en-
trance to our house of worship will testt-
fly that prayer Is offered here imploring
guidance for the nation in this hour of
perplexity and possible peril; prayer for
our President. that he may be sustained
by Divine grace under the tremendous
burdens that rest upon him; prayer for
Congress, that partisanship may give
place to patriotism, selfshnesS to self
sacrifice and childish folly to wisdom that
is comparable with the demands now
made upon it; and prayer for the whole
American people, that in the spirit of our
fathers we may rise to do our duty and
not hesitate to endure any hardship, or
to undertake any task that. in the provi-
dence of God, may be laid upon us by
the crisis that has plunged the world into
confusion, If not into chaos.
NO banner on earth, except the banner
of the Cross, means so much to the world
today as
Your flag and my flag!
And, oh, how much 1t holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds.
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed.
Red and blue and white,
The one flag-the great flag
The nag for me and you
Glorifes all else beside
The red, white and Blue! y!
The hope Of America rests upon the
devotion OF our citizens to the principles
represented by the colors of our nag.
Red stands for bravery-unfaiter1ng
courage. A nation of towards ana pol
troons cannot long survive.
White represents purity. rms 1hsanS s
In politics incorrupt citizenship; III pusi-
ness simple honesty: in society morai IN
tegrity.
Blue stands for loyalty: Loyalty to the

The boar is said to have weighed about

Wild Boar! Killed
At Kingfeld- Owned by Hon. Blaine S. Viles-
Escaped from Dead River

the statement was true and remarked
that the shooting of the boar marked
the closing chapter in the life history
OF one of his pets" The boar in ques-
ton was brought by him about a year
ago from Corbin Park and taken to the
Ledge House, where it was his inten-
ton to keep the animal with a number
Of domestic pigs for breeding purposes,
but the newcomer would have nothing
Of his new associates and quit the pen
about as soon as he had been placed
in 1t.
From the moment that he made his
escape from the pen that boar had
roamed the wild woods, and although
he had been seen on one or two diff
ferent occasions he had not encount-
cred man at close range until he was
pricked by Horace Potters pitchfork.
That the boar had found food scarce
Mr.. Viles was confident, as it had not
been fed, and he was skeptical regard
ing the animal weighing 200 pounds
as the dispatch stated. Mr.. Viles said
that he had letter not long ago from
someone who had seen the boar and
who did not think that the animal
would weigh more than rs pounds.

Coal Mines Doing Their Bit.

So much Ia being said about the
shortage Of hituminous COAL and the
general public realizes so little the i'm
portant gains in outputs made by the
operators under trying conditions,
last summer, over all previous records,
that the statement just issued by the
United statss Geological Survey, De-
partment Of the Interior, on produc-
ton in 1917 compared with 1916, is
particularly timely. In commenting
on this report, prepared by the
| statisticians of tine Geological Survey,
Director Geo. Otis Smith points out
that the shortage is not due to the
failure Of the soft-coal mines to pro-
duce more coal than in the past, for
the country OH September was about
a month ahead of last year in output
aud is expected to finish the year
with an increase of 10 per cent over
1916, the banner year, and of 25 per
cent over 1915.
The tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year has created a demand for
soft coal in excess of any in the past,
an increase in demand that is difficult
to measure in terms of tons but that is
certainly more than the 10 per cent
by which production has increased.
TO meet this demand the mines have
been producing soft coal at rate
never before equaled. In the second
week of July, 1917, the average daily
production was more than l,900,0 900
tons, the highest point yet attained;
in the middle Of August the lowest
for the summer, 1858 900 tons, was re-
corded; and in the last week of Sep
tember the daily rate was !, 1923, 900. In
the first eight months of 1917 the out.
put of soft coal was 1868 3,5000 900 tons,
or 81 100000 tons more than in the
first eight months Of 1915. In the
same period shipments OF anthracite
increased 10 per cent over those Of
1916.
In the bulletin just issued by the
Geological Survey, the figures OF com
parative shipments regularly collect
cd and shown in part in the monthly
and weekly reports, are converted
into tons Of total production, in order
to satisfy the demand for information
on the the part of those not familiar
with the coal industry. The diagram
OF average daily production in the
weekly reports issued each Saturday,
and the diagram showing total pro.
duction to date will appear with the
bulletins sent out the 18th of each
| month,
