"OUT OF LOVE- CLUB
UNIQUE ORGANIZATION
Members Are Girls Rescued by
Salvation Army.

The "Out of Love" Club Is one of
the important club organizations main
tanned by the Salvation Array in this
country. In every large city where
there is Salvation Army corps girls
who have been helped back into the
normal pace of a workaday world are
proud of the membership in this club
Disappointed, loveless girls who do not
forget kindnesses shown them in their
fiour Of greatest need give out of love
to help other girls receive the same
friendliness. In a simple, quiet way,
this unique idea has been maintained
for over 20 years.
In every large city in the country
there are girls who have needed the
ministrations of the Salvation Army.
After they have been helped and sent
on their way again they become life
members of this Cub if they so desire.
Only girls are admitted who have given
good account of themselves for at
least one month in the positions found
for them by the Salvation Army after
their release from a hospital or home.
These girls pledge themselves to keep
alive the spirit Of friendliness and
home which the Salvation Army has
spread among them. The girls are
expected to dress in plain, simple
way, and avoid in any sense of the
word gaudy or tawdry clothing.
Gossipng or tale bearing is tabooed.
If members of the club transgress this
rule they are liable to suspension for
month or longer The "Out of Love
Club" is one of the many activities that
will benefit by the success of the Saliva
ton Army House Service Fund Cam
paign for s13,000,000 May 1926.

WEATHER AND CROPS

Frequent rains and lack of sun-
shine, with cool weather until Satur-
day, retarded farm work, but mead
ows, pastures, and winter grains
made good growth. Peaches were
much injured in many sections by the
recent cold weather but the damage
to apples and wheat was apparently
slight, although few early varieties
of apples were reported killed. Oats
are making good growth and wheat
and rye continue in generally excel
lent condition. The outlook for cher
ries, pluns, and pears is poor. Po-
tato planting continues and the plant
ing of corn is becoming general.

OF THESE FIVE PILLARS
OF OUR GOVERNMENT,
WHICH is FIRST?

When Secretary Lane specified as
the five pillars of our Government
property, democracy, marriage, re-
ligion, business" we do not suppose
that he ranked them in the order of
their Importance in his mind.
Indeed, to do so would be difficult
for anybody.
To the true democrat democracy is
a religion and its defense the highest
business.
But to the materialist property
comes first, and the business of pur-
suing it is his real religion
And to the sensualist marriage is
a form of property which religion
sanctions, though democracy thereby
suffers.
So the manner in which you would
rate these five pillars would help to
reveal what you are.
With this in mind, you might try

DEMOCRACY AND THE LEAGUE

DEMOCRACY AND THE LEAGUE
When asked what would happen if
Canada, with the League of Nations
in force, should desire to break away
from the British Empire and become
fully independent, would America, for
instance, be compelled under the
League constitution to fight against
Canada and prevent her from achiev-
ing her independence, Senator Borah
replied that the question might be
called properly debatable, but that in
his opinion there would be no question
about the authority of the League to
demand such action on the part of
the United States.
There is no democracy in the
League" said the Senator. "a sub
ject nation may want its indepen-
dence and the United States might
sympathize with it, but there is no
provision by which the principle of
differentiation could be applied.
There is ample power and ample
authority under the League constitu-
ton for any executive council to cursh
out any movement for freedom or in
dependence on the part of any sub
ject nation or any small nation"

Improve THE PARK
100 M 100

Belington has one of the most beau
tiful parks in the state if it were
properly improved Why not the city
council see to it that this beautiful
grove of naples be impaoved-or at
least the enterprising citizens have a
clean up day and put this park in
condition not for loafing place, but
place for recreation. A few rustic
seats, swings ETC., with the rubbish
cleared away would make this real
beauty spot located on the good roads
and handy to the entire city
Private subscriptions for improve
ment is much in disfavor-due prob
ably to mismanagement, but let some
thing be done for those who are not
able to own cars for out of town out
ings.
There is no reason for disorder or
indency obout parks of this kind,
make the rules of order as strict here
as elsewhere and see to it that the
laws of decency, order and behavior
are observed.

NEW SCHOOL CODE POINTERS

The new school code of West Vir-
ginia offers a number of important
provisions which are of vital interest
to teachers. The following will be
noted:
Sec. SIS. Fixes much higher rate
of salary which implies better prep
aration of teachers. Boards may al
low higher salary for teachers atten-
ding approved summer schools.
Sec. 55. Gives Boards power to fix
rate of salary for normal school grad
yates higher than those holding or
binary first grade certificates.
Sec. 104. Beginning with 1922 all
applicants for first grade certificates
must have credit for one year of high
school work and nine weeks of pro-
| fessional work, and thereafter an in
creasing amount of schooling Teach
ers should prepare to meet the new
standards.
Sec. 104. State Boards may add
subject like music and drawing to
present lists of subjects required for
examination.
Sec. ITO. With certain limitations.
| grades made in approved schools in
common branches may be counted on
teachers examinations.
Sec. ia. Teachers attending ap-
proved schools are excused from in
stitute attendance.
Sec. 121. Teachers taking approved
work in approved schools will get
coupon credit worth $100 per month
for time taught during the year.
That the teachers of West Virgin
la may have full benefit of this new
code, West Virginia Wesleyan Col
lege Buckhannon, W. Va, has COM
piled with every requirement of the
code and will open the 1919 summer
term of twelve weeks duration on
June IL. Wesleyan is an "approvedp
school and in case teachers can at
tend but six weeks of the full term
they will get approved" credit for
the work they have done.
