WHO is MIR. DALE?

The above inquiry is made by a
number of people. We know only
that Mr.. Dale is Socialist, from
over about Mendoza, Washington
County. No one here seems to know
anything about the gentleman, fur
ther than that he is Socialist can
diate for Congress against Mr..
Slemp. We don't know how old he is,
but he has evidently not around "the
age of discretion" Democrats and
Republicans alike will vote on the
5th for Mr.. Slemp and Mr.. Martin,
giving these faithful and loyal ser
wants a vote of confidence. This is
not the time to be swapping horses
Every voter in the county should
cast his ballot on the 9Th. OF course
Mr.. Slemp will be reelected as also
Mr.. Martin, but every voter should
give the candidates nearly endorse
ment. Vote, everybody, next Tues
day and don't neglect to scratch Mr.
Dale.

however. AS long as there is sin
gle case in the town or county there

WEST POCAHoNTAs NEWS.

Big Vein, Oct. 29-The school at
this place, which was closed for n
while on account of the influenza, has
reopened again.
Mr. Sam Berbett, who has been i'll
with rheumatism, has returned to his
work.
There have been forty-seven cases
of influenza in our camp, but all is
better at this writing.
1t seems that the Christian people
here do not take the interest in Wis
iting the sick that they should. Whole
families have been prostrated at this
place and no one to nurse them and
no one to give them as much as a
drink of water. The writer knows of
case or two that had to crawl TO
get coal and water to drink. think
that is in shame in Bible land that
Christian people cant visit and ad-
minister to the helpless.
Ye eat the fat and ye cloth with
the wool, ye kill them that are fed,
but ye feed not the flock. Eek 34-3.
Christianity is best known by the
acts of those who profess it. The
same God that is able to keep from
sin is also able to keep from disease.
S. f. Crouch and his whole family
have had influenza, but are able now
to be out again, we are glad to say.
Mr.. S. B. Maxcy has been quite busy
for a few days attending to the work
at the mine. His foreman, w. B. Bur-
ton, has been sick with the grip, but
is some better at this writing
Mr.. John Catron was visiting in
Graham last Sunday.
Sergeant Quigley, of the Canadian
Army, who was wounded in France
last April, gave veyr interesting
lecture here last Monday night to a
very large audience.
Mr.. Saunders, of Bluefeld, was a
visitor to our camp last Tuesday on
business.

More Airplanes
Than Ship Space
to Garry Them

Production of American aircraft
being limited practically only by fa-
cilities for transporting the airplanes
to France, according to an Associat-
ed Press report from Washington.
The production of Liberty Motors
during the month of October reached
II stage of one thousand week, Il
goal which had not been hoped for
before December.
The latest official compilations
show that since June approximately
twenty-five hundred fighting airplanes
of all descriptions have been shipp-
ed to the American forces in France.
When it is realized that none of the
belligerents at any one time since the
beginning of the war has had more
than $500 airplanes actually in SER
vice, the Significance of an Ameri-
can production Of $500 planes in five
months becomes apparent. They in
clude nearly one hundred and fifty
heavy bombers and the remainder Of
all classes, including observation ma
chimes and day bombers. The Amer
lean forces have been moving so rap
idly during the last few weeks that
it has been necessary to give up to
other material, some of tho transpor-
tGtion space intended for airplanes,
but within the next few weeks the
full movement OF aircraft is expect
ed to be in swing again.
Reports show that there are moro
American airplancs awainting ship
ment ut points of embarkation than
could be loaded.

The Germans for several DAYS had

they had been given bread by the
Americans. The donors, they told
an American intelligence officer, wore
crosses on their shoulders.

Two men talking on the rear
platform of an East Tenth street car
were discussing the poor service and
how long IT would take person to
get any place by depending on the city
cars, when cne of the men said that
he had heard of quick way to reach
the city hospital.
He explained that while he was
down town, few days before, he had
overheard the conversation between
Il man who WAS evidently n stranger
and another man of Irish descent.
Gould you tell me the quickest
way to get to the city hospital?" in
quired the stranger.
Sure" said the man of Irish de-
scent, "you walk one square east,
turn to your right and go one square
south. There you will find II recruit
ing station. Go in there and yell:
Ilurrah for the kaiser' and when
you come to you will be in the city
hospital.
The man who told the story said he
thought that was one wnv of reach
ing the city hospital in record-brcak
ing time, but his friend did not agree
with him.
"Why don't you agree with mc?"
asked the first man. "Don't you think
the plan q good onc?"
"Oh, the plan is all right" replied
his friend, "but ] think the destinu-
tion is nll wrong. Any man going
