The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-06-09

Yesterday 1 slipped away from the
feverish activity of the city and the
daily grind of work to follow the sprita
Of the unknown road and to roam BE-
meath the bright sky by the limpll
streams of the open country. Without
care or thought for that which lay
behind. let my feet wander as they
would until had left the smoke and dirt
of The city far behind me and found
myself amidst the fertile fields and
meadows Of the open country with the
fragrance of the newly turned earth
ir my nostrils and the music Of the
tabblfng brook and singing birds 10
my ears.
At a time when the whole world is
filled with strife and turmoil, war and
the, turbulant clamorings of the mlh'
titudes, the peace and quiet OF thf
country with its vigorous new life OF
early summer, its sleek cattle graz
ing in bovine contentment beside the
placid streams, its sturdy farmer lads,
following the pillow with the uncon-
scious dignity which Mother Nature
imparts to the slowly sons of toll
who labor in conjunction with her for
humanity; all this, say, was very
refreshing and l strolled along I'M
til at last | came to a grassy, flower
strewn knoll in a shaded nook among
the trees. There l determined to re.
cline and bask in the pleasant reveries
and dreams which by Arcadian SuT-
roundings conjured up.
Glancing beneath me as / sat down
] perceived flowerlet lifting its trust
ing face in mute appeal. Too late
could not check by descent and in a
moment the helpless flower was crush
co.
sprang to my feet, beads of perspir.
alton bedampened my brow and bitter
tears filled my eyes. The day, which
before had seemed so bright and fair,
was now dark and gloomy and the
country side, so inviting and peace.
tui but scant moment before, now
seemed ominous and threatening as
/ wendell by homeward way with halt
ing, uncertain footsteps.
Since then, in penance for my rash
act, / have remained unseated. My
knees have not been bent in sitting
and my food l have taken from the
mantle,
Only one ray of sunlight pierces thu
deep gloom of my dependency; but
one thought comes to relieve my agony
of soul-the humble bee on that flow
er is DEAD!

had been in service for twenty years and it was planned to discard it as soon as possible and to replace it with a larger. up-to-date boat. This vessel was carried on the books of the purchaser at $80.000 and because of the shortage of ocean tonnage was put back into service to earn his keep. Since then it has turned in to the owners profits amounting to more than $40O,O00 and it recently has been sold to another line for $77S.- 900. It is not worth anything like that sum except under the extraordi- nary conditions which now prevail, but 1t will be put into the Atlantic trade carrying munitions. and if lucky enough to survive a few round trips will repay the new owners even at the exorbitant price paid. On this basis the earning possibilities of the tonnage tied up in New York harbor almost stagger the imagination.

growth in beef animals and the flow Of milk

THIRD-Insures high food value per Gu

ods known for storing feed. All the digesti
matter in curing is practically saved besides
less labor in storing and feeding.
