West Virginia outdoes other states
in every way w. P. Engelman, con-
sulting engineer Of the Domestic
Coke Corporation, says that there
never was such earth as is being en-.
countered in building the short line
Of railroad to the by-products plant.
He declares:
There is clay and coal and
sand and iron-a vein quarter
OF an inch thick"
Mr.. Engelman laughed at the re.
ports that the by-product plant
would kill vegetation. But he added:

There are two great rules Of life,
the one general and the other partich-

in the end, get what he wants il he

The particular rule is that every indi-

FORM THE
HABIT
ATTEND CHURCH

Why? is the question asked by the
non-churchgOer. He who neglects his
church is charging his life with an
irreparable loss and is robbing his
community of a noble example, and is
acting contrary to the principles and
commands of Gods word. The
church member who refuses to attend
church because of some selfish whim
is committing moral and spiritual sui
eide, and must answer for this crime
at the judgment bar of God, as well
as in his life. John Wanamaker an
swered this question by saying: 81
would be very miserable without this
spiritual uplift that comes from at
tending Divine worship and obeying
the Divine ordinances. 1t is privi-
lege to touch soldiers with earnest
Christian men who are interested in
