Black Diamond Writeup0.
"The Black Diamond" which Is the
bible Of coal men. is Just as liable 10
make mistakes as the newspapers
printed in northern West Virginia. The
last issue has articles about leading
coal men Of the nation and includes
Jere II. Wheelwright. president OF the
Consolidation and c. H. Jenkins. Of the
Hutchinson, Coal company. making err
rors in the sektches OF both. In the
Wheelwright article Col. c. w. Wat
son is mentioned as having been a
state senator instead OF a United
States senator and in the Jenkins
item "The Black Diamond" has Mr..
jenkins president Of the West Virginia
Coal Association which he is not, al
though president OF the Central West
Virginia Coal Operators Association
and one Of the production committee
of the National Coal Association.
"The Black Diamond" starts out
with an article about DR.. Garfield and
puts Jere H. Wheelwright next"
which is probably correct. With
Wheelwright's picture there appears
these words: Next to Mr.. Garfield
is Jere H. Wheelwright, president Of
the National Coal Association. He is
next in Importance because he heads
the organization that will mean most
to the success Of Mr.. Garfield's cam
paign. Mr.. Wheelwright, as most
boys do, started out without money
or friends as q railroad clerk. He went
to work for the old Fairmont Coal
company and soon attracted the atten-
ton Of Clarence w. Watson, then the
head Of that company and later chair.

West Virginia. Mr.. Wheelwright,
working closely with Mr.. Watson, be-
came first conspicuous in the organiza-
ton Of the Fairmont Coal company,
then general sales agent of the Con.
solidation Coal company and then
president OF the concern. Last year
he was made vice president Of the Ma.

was elected its president. One Of

IPLUCKING OSTRICH PLUMES

When TIC time comes round for
plucking ostrich plumes it is neces-
sary to collect the troop. This is
done by sending about half dozen
men into the enclosure on foot and
couple CD horseback to bring the
stragglers in. The birds are driven
into a small kraal, about 40 yards
square, and in this kraal the pluck
ing-boxes stand. The birds are then
caught, and as quickly as possible
small linen bags are slipped over
their hea1s-a process which imme-
diately conouers the bird, for, finding
itself in darkness, it will stand trem-
bling and ready to be pushed in any
direction.
With the bags over their heads,
the birds are pushed into the pluck
ing boxes. A man standing outside
the box at each side gets hold of the
wing and clips the feathers from it;
then, walking round to the tail, clips
the tailfeathers also, until the whole
troop has passed through the pluck
ing boxes. Six men will pluck $50
birds in one day.-St. Louis Republic.

MUSIC IN THE WAR

Walter Damrasch, director of the
New York Symphony Orchestra,
went to France to take charge of a
school for bandmasters. The army
has 200 bands now, and will have
400 by the end of the war.
"The psychological Importance of
military bands is very great" he said.
"The band accompanies a regiment
going into the trenches with STIR
ring march for a certain distance,
and when they return from the battle
the band is waiting for them, and
you can imagine the effect it has
"The morale of the troops is ire
mendously improved if the band
plays well and frequently. Nothing
is so terrible as a silent camp. Be
ing entirely unrelated to war, music
clears the mind and takes the
thoughts off the battle. All officers
recognize that it is help in win
| ming the war"

in the offensive which started July Is

showing ct1 tain stretches of land so
as to familiarize the advancers with
the terrain Some Of the wooded
districts and fields shown on the films

owing to the counter attack of the
French nd Americans which began

THE PERSONALITY OF FOCH

Physically, Foch is little man,
his inches are about those of Napo-
Icons, and he has Grants fondness
for the cia;ar. Like Joffre, a south
erner, he has frankness of speech
which his old commander has never
displayed. Unlike Petain his words
are rarely caustic and he has made
friends among all his allies. An old
man, close to 70, yet younger than
Clemenceau, he was still handsome
when the war began, but the strain
has marked his face and only his
eyes reveal an mistaken spirit
