IN MEMORY

Of little Harold Adams who died
Ovt. 26th 1918. The home is so sad
and lonely without the precious lit
tie one. He was like tender little
flower cut down so early with au-
tumns chilly blast.
We know separation is hard, but
God knows best. There is one more
angel in Heaven; we know the hearts
of father and mother are sad and
lonely and a place is vacant in their
home; we know Harold's bright face
and sweet voice will be missed, but
in Heavens mansion today he is smil-
inc a sweeter smile than in this world
of sorrows and cares. Little Harold
was so jolly and full of life it was
a pleasure to be around him while
at play, but the trials of this life
were too much for this frail little
body of his; He only fell to sleep
sweetly until that blessed morning
when the dead in Christ shall rise.
So loved ones weep not, for some
day we will all meet our loved ones
they will be there standing at the
pearly gates of Heaven, ready to well
come us. Little Harold will be there
to welcome father and mother home
what happy meeting it will be where
partings will be no more.
A Loving Friend.

GET COAL WHILE YOU CAN

The Intelligencer has received
friendly suggestion from one OF the To-
cal coal companies. that we urge the
family heads in the community TO lay
in their winter supply OF coal now and
during the summer months, as there
is bound 10 be big shortage next Win
ter, the government figuring that the
total requirements then will be lpo'-
ono tons a day more than can possibly
be produced. The prudence Of provid-
iag for the future cannot be urged too
strongly on domestic consumers OF
coal. 1t will pay in economy as much
as in comfort, for prices are sure 10
be higher than at present: certainly
not lower.
The householder Of foresight will
readily see the propriety OF complying
with the suggestion OF the govern
ment; not only in providing against
freless CRATES and stoves next winter
hut in performing patriotic service
n helping the government 10 win the
war, With the domestic consumption
provided for. that will leave q clear
er field for the imperative needs of the
railroads, the munitions factories and
die industrial plants engaged in war
work. The situation, however, must
BE too obvious, and the experience Of
last winter too impressive to be lost
on an intelligent. forehanded people.
1t is just as the coal corporation sets
forth, that the government. having
given ample warning. may assume
that consumers have governed them
selves accordingly. and the Fuel Ad-
ministration. being in control Of sup
ply and distribution, may divert the
coal from the normal sources upon
which you depend for your supply TO
other localities for other purposes.
When those days come. it will only be
the Needless who will be helpless.

AN IMPRESSIVE SPEAKER

The patriotic meeting held yeSter-
sSy afternoon at the Virginia Theater'
under the auspices Of that very loyal
organization. the Elks. was an lnsplr-
mz occasion. The address that seemed
10 take a gripping hold on the audi
ence was delivered by MI. W. E. Wells,
Of Newell, this State. Mr.. Wells is
not q stranger to Wheeling audiences
having attracted attention on previous
occasions by his clear thinking, out
the finished speech he delivered yes
terday was a revelation to all who had
the pleasure Of hearing him.
While Mr.. Wells has not devoted
himself to public speaking. as his bus
mess as president of large pottery
concern has commanded his undivided
attention, he has builded on a solid
education BY study OF public questions
A well informed mind. which enables
him to talk intelligently. informatiTely
and interestingly on any topic OF eco
homie or national import. In other
words, he has become one OF those
sneakers who always knows what he
Is talking about.

lacking in that clearneSs Of thought
and expression which stamps the In
formed man. And so 1t is with some
half-baked orators of the general class
who undertake to instruct tEe public
without having any conception OF what
they are talking about. The time and
the occasion are here for the Informed
speaker, for the understanding talSer
who can make the people understand
what he is talking about. Nj. Wells
is a fine example of the business man
prepared to tell what he &npwS. and
who impresseS his audience with his
grasp of the subject. We need more
