Compared with the foregoing the rec

had been twenty-nine new arrivals at

had done his duty fairly well to the
state
That large families sometimes prove
very embarrassing was illustrated in
the case of John Havlland, a septua-
genarian mountaineer in West Vir'
ginia. He arrived one day, about four
years ago, at Huntington, w. Va, in
search of employment, and he had with
him an army Of fifteen children and
twenty grandchildren. He informed an
astounded employment agent that he
had further thirty.seven children,
grandchildren and greatgrandchildren
at home, and that when he had found
employment for those he had with him
he would send for another batch. He
further explained that there were far
too many boys and girls at home to run
the mountain farms.
