eye closed and scratched. Deputy
Howard Adams had not recovered from
last nights fray either and was still
promising more licks If the prisoner
ever accostcd him again so abruptly.
1t appears that Adams made the ar
rest of the gentleman who was found
drunk on Washington street and ow-
ing to objections on the part OF 0dow-

thing more than persuasion in words.
Adams said his head swan for awhile
directly after, but this morning he had
no shut eye nor scratched face at any
rate. odowrell was fined SIS by the
mayor.

But no Coal Has Gone For

EDUCATION OF Miners
Maryland Man Here to
Find Out How West
Virginia Does it.

For some time rumors have been
afloat in Fairmont coal circles that
new export orders Of large tonnage
have been placed here with local com.
panies, but from what has been learned
no recent orders have been received.
AS matter OF fact there are mum.
Der of export orders being held right
now by big coal companies here and
more are expected, providing the
question of bottoms Can be settled.
Operators generally feel that the rates
for shipping are entirely too high. II
this could be remedied there is little
doubt but that the Fairmont region
would just be chucked full Of foreign
orders to an extent that would make
things hum around here.
Working conditions in the coal
fields generally are gradually improy.
ing. Reports are to the effect that
there are greater activities in the
Georges creek region, near Cumber-
land, Md, and the jenkins fields in
Kentucky. Reports are to the effect
that Kentucky mines in the Jenkins
field are running five days a week.
Maryland Man Here.
Aware of the fact that the extension
work Of West Virginia is leader, l..
A. Emerson, Of Baltimore, supervisor
of industrial education for the state OF
Maryland, accompanied Prof. r. 2.
Virgin, Of the mining department OF
West Virginia University, yesterday
and today over his work in the Fair
mont region. He is very favorably
impressed with the course that the
mining department of the state uni
versity Of West Virginia is offering to
the miners.
Mr.. Emerson comes to get first hand
information of the methods of con-
ducting miners schools as carried on
by Prof Virgin. Last night he attend
ed the class meeting at Clarksburg
where 1t was in session in the consul
tation room Of the Traction building.
Today he is at Grant Town to see q
coal mine in operation, and tonight he
will visit the class Of miners at Mt.
Glare where the subject will be Mine
Drainage and Pumping"
The state of Maryland is seriously
studying the problem OF offering min.
ing courses at the mines to the work
men after the idea of the West vir-
ginia program, and Mr.. Emerson Is
very enthusiastic Of the work as it is
done in the Fairmont region. He
goes to Oakland, Md, tonight after
the class.
At The Fairmont today in discuss
ing the work in this state Mr.. Emer-
son said: at is the best l have ever
seen and l am not alone in this opin.

is fine here" When talking to the

The FOOtpath to PeaCe-ldeals
For the New Year.

To be glad of life because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars.
To be satisfied with your poses
siOns but not contented with your
self until you have made the best of
them.
To despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness and
to fear nothing except cowardice.
To be governed by your admira-
ton rather than by your disgusts.
To covet nothing that is your
neighbor's except his kindness of
heart and gentleness of manners.
To think seldom of your enemies.
often of your friends and every day
of Christ.
And to spend as much time as
you can with body and spirit in
Gods out of doors.
These are little guide posts on the
footpath to peace.-Henry Van Dyke.

Make Some New Year Resolutions

We believe in making New Year
resolutionsl
Grant that you will not succeed
in carrying out all you make, still il
is worth while to have aspired even
in those matters in which you fail;
and no man need fail in all his en-
deavors for advancement.
Some one has said that ideals are
like stars for the mariner; we may
not reach them with our hands, but
following them they lead us to to a
haven of safety! A great preacher
has said that God Almighty does
not measure a man by the time
when he Is smallest, meanest, most
groveling. Rather does God AL
mighty take the mans measure
when he reaches farthest toward
Heaven, when he aspires most great
ly, when he yearns most passion
ately for all that is high and noble
and divine. 1t is at that moment
that the Almighty says: there is
the measure of my sonl''
Let us not be afraid to aspire; let
US believe in our kinship with an
Almighty Father and resolve that
in the coming year we shall live
lives worthy of men created in Gods
image,
Our doubts are traitors.
And make us lose the good we oft might win
BY fearing to attempt
Let us not make the mistake of
expecting too sudden TRANSFORMED
ton. but let US not permit traitor
doubts to keep us from striving for
better things in work, character and
the development of mind and soul.

England, we shall muddle through .
but in some respects the country is
finding itself just as inadequately
prepared for peace as 1t was for war.
On paper we have schemes to take
care of almost every conceivable
contingence. But we need deeds as
well as words.
Every soldier leaving the service,
officers and man alike, is asked the
question whether he desires the as

government will find jobs for those
soldiers deserving them, but what OF
the vast army of men lately en-
ployed in industries turning out
goods needed in prosecuting the war?
The wholesale cancellation OF war
contracts has released a great num-
ber of workers without considering
what these displaced workers will
do toward getting other jobs. For

All the best judges are agreed that
the United States will have a long
period of prosperity based on the
need for replacing the values de-
stroyed by war. Even now, from
