i in the mountains lives in the

and miles Of mountain ridges have
been the scenes of many merry riding
parties.
The trails leading UP to High Top

whose names are known to both the
Virginias make their summer homes.
The Casino plays a prominent part
in the life at White Sulphur, for
golfers and tennis players delight in
simple luncheons served at the Colo

days that most every one has luncheon
on the Casino lawn, and many are al
ways there at the tea hour.
Not only have the mountain ridges

of color and have become Respondent

Berger Again Chosen

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 20
Victor Berger, Of Milwaukee, was
again today representative-elect from

ing defeated Henry H. Bodenstab,
fusion candidate, by a majority Of
4,8O6 in yesterdays special election.
The complete unofficial vote com

tv Of 5.507 in a three-sided contest,

ing candidates in the field. Berger S
total in that election was 1882,
while the two opposition candidates
combined got 22,854 votes.

SPANISH SWINDLE
HITS u. S. AGAIN
Dying Prisoner Letters
Flood America, Says
Madrid Report

MADRID, Dec. 20.-The "Span-
ish Swindle" has shown its head
again. America has been inundated
with letters from ga dying prisoner,
prosecuted by political enemies, only
able to communicate with the out
side world through the kindness of a
prison chaplain" The writer of the
letter claims relationship with the
person addressed and explains that
valise containing valuables has ben
concealed outside of Spain, the con-
tents to left to an only daughter and
the American relative.
Should the American reply, he later
receives a letter from "the chap
Iain," stating that the prisoner is
dead and that a certain sum is re-
quired to release the prisoners bag
gage, including the mysterious va
lise Fortunately when the cores
pondance reaches this point the
american relative" usually becomes
curious and as a result the embassy
in Madrid and the consulates through
out Spain have a food Of correspond
ence on the subject.
In other cases, the victim takes the
bait without question and parts with
his money, or even worse still, goes to
the expense of travelling to Spain to
pay the required sum to release the
valise and claim his share of the con-
tents.
In that case the swindler is gen.
orally brought to book, for the Span
ish police are on the lookout and the
presence of a stranger looking for
lost relatives arouses their suspic-
ions.
Recently an American arrived in
Madrid with a certified check to claim
his share Of prisoners estate. The
Spanish police put him in prison un-
til he could be convinced that he had
been the victim of clever swindler

SCHOOLS URGED
TO AID CENSUS
Appeal To Teachers Is
sued BY Commissioner
OF Education

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The
schools are asked to aid the census
Office in collecting the 1920 census,
which begins January 2, in an appeal
to teachers issued by DIR. P. P. Clax-
ton, United States commissioner of
education. In his statement, DR..
Claxton says:
Teachers and school officials, and
the children in the schools as well,
car help the government with the
fourteenth census of the United States
which begins January ?. 1870. by
making clear to all the people in the
community how important the CEN
sus work is.
The enumeration Of the population
during a census Of the United States
aGways presents numerous difficulties
= among them apprehension en- the
part of the people, particularly those
OF tcreicn birth or extraction, that
their answers to the cnumorator'
Questions will cause increased taxa

consequences injurious 10 their well
fare. The schools can ass!sr mater
iaIIy n quieting such Inromled fears
and st the same time acqu2inc all per-
sons with the main questions includ-
ed in the census schedules.
4It is, therefore, earnestly hoped
that school teachers will see the
opportunity presented them as public
servants who come in contact with
large numbers of people to correct
any erroneous opinions about the
census which they may hear. 1t is
no less earnestly hoped that school
children may convey to their homes
the information that taking a census
is a gigantic task that can only be
successfully carried out if all the
people cooperate by giving the CEN
sus enumerator correct and complete
answers to all questions"

A GOOD SUGGESTION

Dear Mr.. Editor: For the last few
weeks there has been quite a worthy
agitation Of the idea of erecting mon
uments over our land to honor the
memory of our beloved victrious he
roes of the late war. Truly, if ever
man or war merited to be honored or
remembered do the men and the
cause for which they fell in the war
of universal freedom, for it was the
only war ever waged solely for an
ideal. and the ideal was set by Jesus
Christ himself Shall we honor these
who fought and fell in such cause ?
The strong voice of the people SAYS,
yes.
But. Mr.. Editor in the light of the
wonderful spirit of unselfish service
that animated and inspired those
whom we wish to honor and remem-
Der with our monuments, it occurs
great. the service to all humanity y
too great. the spirit too sublime o be
memorialized in mere pillar of cold
and feless stone, that would sta I'D
idly through the years with only
names and dates chiseled thereon.
Can't our monuments be in keeptng
with the spirit that led our men on,
even unto the supreme sacrifice?
To the rural county seats that have
not yet adopted plan of perpetual
ing the memory of their brave SOM,
I suggest a hospital an assembly
hall, rest room, a public library. or
some good. plain, substantial build
ing to be used by the public every
day, and If need be, night in the year
as fitting monument for men who
died in service Of fellowmen.
Build to them monuments? Yes:
ten thousand times yes. Build 10
them living. breathing. serving mn
tments. Build to them reminders
that will serve to inspire the man
yet 70 carry on the torch thrown us
by those who died in Argonne forest.
Build tn them no slab Of bronze mr.
heap of stone: build minuments 10
shine with usefulness through the
years. In all sincerity.

COUNTY FINANCES, 1918

The quarterly county court on last
Monday transacted the usual bust.
ness and in addition to the usual ap-
preparations, appointing jurors, etc
the court passed an order that "all
delinquent hands on public roads,
pixies, etc, should be presented 10
the next grand jury for indictment"
This order will surely cause every
delinquent road hand to pay the
amount due by them to the county
trustee.
County Judge H. d. Whitson male
the following report of the financial
transactions of the county during tic
year 1918:
The county trustees have been
charged during the year 1918, includ
ing the tax books of 1917, state tax
and state school fund the amounts 70
