 Clubs of Y. W. c. A.

Under the auspices of the Fedora tion of Clubs of the Y. w c. A.,

 The program opened with ninstrels by the members of the Sept Lois and Camaraderie clubs in which those participating charact cteEized the dark race in songs and humoroES sayings. Some of the girls donned male attire, which added greatly to the interest of
 the show. The U. M. c. club was represented in two pretty dances by
 Miss Ethel Smith and Miss salIie Hines. Their costumes were very fetching.
 Wild Nell. the Pet of the Plains, and Her Final Sacrifice" was ar
 amusing sketch interpreted by group of talented girls. The Add-a,-
 ling club is to be congratulated for succeeding in literally bringing down
 the house." It was in the form of a.
 moving picture presentation, since
 nothing was said by the actors on the
 stage. but interpreted in action, the reading of the story by one of the members. The Triangle club had a,
 most novel offering in the dance, i E'F'urlana," by Bouncing Bet, and the Harmony Trio. Do Shi Kai Club members presented q truly chorus show with Q gIittering galaxy of gior-
 iOus girls who sang, danced and in terpreted the song.

Chadbourne Reads Riot
 Act to Manufacturers
(Continued from Page One)


 MT. Chadbourne was especially specific about conditions in Russia. lie said that tho BoIshevists Is the great est pcor mans experiment in the his tory of the world; an experiment in duced by the tyranny of three per cent. inflicted upon the other 97 per cent. of Russians during 400 years.
 MT. Chadbourne denounced as the ffsment of falsehood the story that the Sovtets have passed laws making women common property. He pro- nounced the Soviets Q very powerful organization from which many ex- cellent things will be saved. yet as to the totality of the experiment destin- ed to fail because of the nature of economic laws and the nature of man himself. The solidarity displayed by Germany dur'- g the war, he attribut- ed to the legislation by which the German nobility had given to their citizens the sense of economic secur- ity. These laws included insurance against sickness and unemployment, accident and old age pensions and so on.
 The working class is numerous. The propertied class is brainy and re- sourceful. Five per cent. of the peo- pie he said, own most of the wealth. I am one of the per cent.
 The United States, he declared is far behind European nations, in it's provisions for the industrial security of working people.
 MT, Chadbourne warned the local manufacturers that they must waken up to the situation. He told them that they must have faith in their fsllowmeD and that a satisfactory wage scale and hours of work must be conceded to the man who works with his hands. With the advent of macbinerv came the exploitation of common labor. The speaker remark ed that labor now substitutes mum Eers for skill He showed that it takes SI,200 g. year to provide q man with a family of wife and three ch{l- dren with. the bare necessities of life.
 Mir. Chadbourne claimed that the worker has a right to the participa- ton of industrial administration and that he should have a voice as CO., partner in the interests of the con- Cern of which he Is a producer Not long ago." remarked HTr- Cha ourr7 e.

Band Well Under Way.

A band for Jasper is now an assured
thing. Quite a number of the boys
got together last Thursday night, Or
gained, elected leader and decided
to try and make good band for
casper. They didn't have many to
begin with and things were rather
dlscouraging for while but this week
several good musicians in the country
whom the boys didn't know OF
volunteered their help. Several more
have agreed to get into the game and
learn to play. There are % on the list
now, but there is plenty of room for
more. If you are bandsman or
would like to be one communicate
with Roy Wells or Mendel. Drake. The
latter is the newly elected leader, and
would teach a class Of beginners if it
is desired.

Brass Most usefulAIIoy.

Brass is perhaps the best known and
most useful alloy. 1t is formed BY
fusing together copper and zinc. Diff
ferent proportions of these metals pro-
duce brasses possessing marked dis
tinctlve properties. The proportions
Of the different ingredients are seldom
precisely alike; these depend upon the
requirements of various uses for which
the alloys are intended. Peculiar quail
tiles of the constituent metals also eK-
ercise influence on the results.

Successful Revival Service.

The weather during the time was very
unfavorable, but there was fine at

was fine response from the people,

Too Much Rush In Life.

Today, as never before. the world 10
brlmming over, palpitant with the full
ness. And yet so many Of US fail to
sense it, to 80 many of us q primrose
is but a primrose, fallen leaf but a
dead thing. In the rush Of modern
life, with its insistent demands upon
our time and attention, driving our
selves from one self-made duty to an
other, we have missed the glory of
the sunshine, the fragrance Of the
flowers, the beauty and charm and JOY
that are all about us.-EXchange.

TRACTOR SCHOOL A BIG SUCCESS
The Avery Free Tractor Service School
Gave Farmers Valuable Informa-
ton on Tractors.

L
Gave Farmers Valuable Inforrna-
ton on Tractors.
All who attended the Avery Free
Tractor Service School held by McCune
& Tallman at Jasper were well satis-
fled in every respect, All Of the
students seemed very well pleased and
stated that il the school could be held
another year they would be very glad
to attend because they received some
information that would be Of value to
them in taking care OF their tractors.
Mr.. Thee. Fisher, instructor Of the
Avery Tractor Service School from
the Avery Company, gave thorough
course on the care and operation Of
tractors, threshers, motor cultivators
and plows. Many OF the students
asked him questions which he readily
answered. Mr.. Fisher handled the
subjects very we'll. From oil appear
ances he was quite we'll acquainted
with tractors and internal combustion
engines. 1t is said that the Avery
Company is holding between seven
and eight hundred Tractor Service
Schools all over the country this
season, giving course Of instruction
to practically 100000 farmers on the
care and operation of tractors.
The Avery ideal is that every Avery
owner should be, in so far as possible,
the best satisfied machine owner in his
community, and this Tractor Service
School is one OF the means OF assisting
Avery owners as we'll as other tractor
owners. No more timely subject than
the operation of tractors could have
possibly been studied in this commun-
ity. 1t is timely both from the stand
point that there are many new tractor
owners, and also from the absolute
necessity of keeping ell tractors work.
ing this season. 1t takes plenty of
power to produce the most crops and
to get the farm work done on time.
II tractors are laid up for repairs or
some little adjustment, it is valuable
time lost. The object of these tractor
service schools is to teach tractor
owners and others interested in power
farming machinery how to operate and
take care of their tractors successfully.
McCune & Tallman were very we'll
pleased with the attendance at this
school and state that they will I'M
doubleday hold another service school
next year.

SOUTHWEST CELEBRITIES

Southwest Virginia has two
celebri,ies-Jolm Fox, the nov
clist, and G. Bascom SIemp, the
congressman.
As Robert 5. Graham said in
"a Victory Loan speech hcre last
week, John FoN is known in all
parts of the world. His stories
have crept into song, photoplay
and stage thcatricals, and have
been initiated and modelled after
by numerous writers who could
do nothing more than initiate.
Every time you pick up a book
on the Kentucky mountains OF
Southwest Virginia mountain.
GERS, you instantly think Of John
FoN, though the author of the
book may be any one of the
great number Who are fashion
ing fiction from our Southwest
land.
Widely as he is known and
extensively as he sojourns, John
FoX's homc.scat is in Southwest
Virginia, and Il great many peo-
pie who travel around have the
habit of saying, Eyes, | live
down in Southwest Virginia
the same place John Fox lives. .
Slcmp rs known all over
Washington - and the whole
world meets in Washington.
limissarics and representatives
from everywhere return ever and
again to find Slemp still at
Washington us Southwest Vir
ginia's congressional representa-
tive. 1t is easy to imagine
them saying, "What. You back
here again? BY George, get
ting reelected seems to be a
soft snap Tor your Then it is
probable that Slemp replies, in
much the same vein as in his
talk here last week: "Sure it's
soft-didn'l even take the trou-
bic to have a campaigns last
time. -
Fox writes descriptions of our
wonderful land and its people,
and Slemp represents them, SO
that, all angles considered, Fox
Slcmp and Southwest Virginia
are all very much celebrated.
We owe them a great deal for
seeing TO ii that We got on the
map Of the world.-Crawrorl's
Weekly, Norton.
