an interesting talk to number of

here it took place-Day thought he
would show off his motor in stopping
but he got his foot on the wrong
thing, and his Chalmers made a
dive for the grave yard, knocked
down several Timbstones and went
right on, and Day calling for help,
but he was going SO fast, no one
could get to him, so right on that
Chalmers went; run through the
fence and down by the Church
here S. S. Bolton and Camden Car
penter tried to stop her with log,
but nothing doing, SO right on she
went, the further, the faster, and the
louder Day called for help, right
through the fence, run over two
year old bull of E. E. Swick's, but
this did not stop her, SO on she

DON'T BE A GUTTER.

Tire is not the slightest reason
why any operator shoSd weaken
while the National Coal association
IS doing it's level best to make it pos
sible for the industry to hold on to
the advantages it has managed to
acquire during the past three years
and the mine workers are cooperating
in every possible way. And the man
who does weaken and make contracts
at lower prices while the fight is on
does deserve the sort of contempt
which is usually melted out to one who
deserts good cause at crisis.
A well known Maine statesman
once said that God Almighty hates
gutter. 1t is certain that strong
men do. There used to be a lot Of
cutters in the coal business, and in
the long run mank of them paid for
it by widing up in the bankruptcy
court. If they can be held in line
for few more days even the gutter
class in all probability will find itself
in position to make money without
any great amount of worry. AT all
events if the market does break all
the operators who have acted in good
faith will be given an equal chance
The other kind will have to take care
Of themselves.
And without friends among either
the United Mine Workers or the OPP
orators associations taking care of
ones self would not be very easy
job. Our advice to men who are anx-
ious to sell coal that they the thik-
ing Of falling in with some of the
suggestions that have been started by
consumers isthat they take good
long second thought. The West
Virginian.

FARMERS STUDY UP-TO-DATE
METHODS OF FARMING.

MOb1AlN wv IN, W. va, jail. Il
Eighty farmers clubs with mem
bership Of more than 1900 farmers
devoted the winter months of last
year to definite study of some of
their more pressing farm problems
by following the Reading Circle out
lines furnished by the Agricultural
Extension Department at Morgan
town. Many clubs have already be-
gun similar work this winter and
fully 100 clubs are expected to take
up the work during the next few
weeks. With the increased member
ship secured during the farm bureau
drive it is confidently expected that
at least $500 farmers will pursue
some one of the several Reading
Circle courses now offered by the Ex-
tension Department at Morgantown.
In order to make sure that the latest
truths learned by the experiment
stations brought to the farmer in
a simple practical way all the out
lines have been carefully revised by
the extension specialists and many
valuable additions made. Outlines are
now available free of charge for a
study of Soil Fertility, Farm Crops,
Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, and
Far Management, upon application

Home Output of Peanut Oil
Is Now Only Second to That
OF LinSeed and CottonSeed

The war has brought the peanut
into its own. Before 1914 peanut Oil
was almost unknown as an article of
domestic manufacture and thousands
of gallons were imported every year
from countries that grew 40 peanuts,
although the South was producing mil
lions of pounds and capable of in
creasing that production almost in
definitely. But in 1917 the output of
peanut oil had so increased that it
ranked third among ali the vegetable
oils made from homegrown products.
being exceeded only by cottonseed oil
End lfnseed oil. Peanut oil, it is point
ed out by experts in aliment, serves
practically the same food purposes
as does cottonseed oil, and has the
advantage that it can he obtained
by cold pressing like olive oil, and
becomes thereby superior table oil.
1t has the advantage over cottonseed
oil also I'm that the cake, after the
ell is pressed out, forms a palatable
human food very high in protein.
A survey by the federal bureau of
markets shows the great gain in the
production and use of peanuts, not
only for oil but for peanut butter,
and as substitute for more costly
nuts or as a component part In con-
fectfonery.

Motor Fuel Adds Ten Miles

Development too late for use in the
war of a motor fuel which adds ten
miles an hour to the speed of airplanes

mobile racing was announced by the
bureau Of mines. The liquid. combi-
nation of benzOl and eyclohexane,
so while of military value, it.is not re
garded as practical for commercial
purposes at present. Another combi-
nation developed by the bureau, con-
sisting of benzol and gasoline, has
been found to be more powerful than
gasoline alone and is expected to prove
Of value In industry. The comparative
scarcity of benzol, however, makes its
production to supplant gasoline on a
large scale improbable In the imme-
diate future.
