WALKER IN CITY
Game. Here. to. Keep. in
Touch With the Strike
Situation.

Here to keep in touch with the coal
strike situation, Stuart W. Walker,
Martinsburg, w. Va, United State'
district attorney for Northern West
Virginia, arrived in Fairmont last
night and in the course of his remarks
stated that he was not here in the con-
nection with serving any writs or an
cilliary papers on officials of the UNI
ted Mine Workers of America.
Because of his location in an agri-
cultural section at the other end of the
state, Mr.. Walker deemed 1t advisable
to come to Fairmont in order to be in
touch with the Fairmont region as
well as Wheeling and other mining
sections in this part of the state.
Mr.. Walkers visit here is of an in
definite period and is in response to
a general telegram sent out to, the
United States district attorneys in
sSal producing sections by the Uniteo
States Department of Justice The
telegram in part as follows:
"To looR into any concerted ac-
ton by one or more persons eth
er employers, employees or 9TH
ers. which amounts to an agree
ment or arrangement to limit the
facilities for Transporting, pro-
ducing, supplying, storing or deal
ing in coal or to restrict the sup
ply or distribution of some or to
exact excessive prices for coal or
lid or abet any such act"
6Mr. Walker believes that he should
be in this section in order to make a
general survey of the region and to
prepare report to be submitted la
ter to the Department of Justice, Mr..
Walker has no set program in. view,
but is here to uphold the dignity Of
the federal law. Mr.. Walker believes
that now is the time in the history OF
our country that all citizens. should
work together for a common good.
Whether any action will result here
depends upon the circumstances de-
veloping, and Mr.. Walkers stay here
will be governed accordingly.

plain that his business here was In

ALL LOVE EASTER
World a Unit in That, but Writer
Asserts There Are Various
Reasons for 1t.

~s HE world loves Easter be-
cause it answers the cry Of
an inner need. That cry is
by no means always reli-
giOuS, as some suppose. 1t springs from
various motives. To some it is merely
the response Of returning spring. To
others it answers the call of fashion.
Most people salve their cOnsciences
that they are answering the call Of
the inner religious life. No doubt
Easter day furnishes the occasion for
all that's done in it's name, but much
of the Easter performance has as
much heathenism as Christianity in it,
Of course you'll holler and protest
that it isn't so. But your old uncle
is willing to let the facts speak in the
matter. The reason we find it so hard
to see the truth is that custom has
made the whole Easter show respect
able.
Your Uncle Ben finds no fault with
the desire of the fair sex to look as
fair as the lily and be twice as at
tractive. But the trouble is he can't
always see the beauty in many of the
creations that are thought to be SO.
People forget that features differ. Not
every one can wear the same shaped
hat. They don't want hat like any
body else. But it must conform to
Dame Fashions order no matter how
hideous it makes the wearer. The
colOrs may scream and the feathers
may flare, but if that's the mode there
is no room for argument. SO when
the fair creature has donned the ar
NOR of latest creation she sallies forth
to bewilder the spectators and enjoy
the thrills of admiring (O glances.
That's one reason why the world en-
joys Easter.
But the heart knows deeper calls
than dress The world has much of
sadness in it. Few homes have not
felt the touch Of the grim reaper. He
is no respecter of persons. All ages
and conditions of men answer the CALL
There is the first torrent of recollec-
ton and private sorrow. To such
there is great relief in thoughts of
Easter. The very earth seems to
speak a message of hope. In early
morn comes the bird song. With peep
of day the smiling sun lights the bud
ding trees and greening fields. Here
and there venturesome little flowers
peep through the winters refuse. They
all tell of new life. They help make
the sad heart lighter.
To such Easter is the assurance of
inexperienced promises. Something
deep in their hearts tells them that
there is much to live for. The Eas-
ter message is the only word that
brings real comfort. 1t tells of vic
tory. No wonder they go to the Lords
house to hear again the story of the
Resurrection. In spite of the SCOTS
of critics, in the face of all the skill
full attempts to explain the great Eas
ter mystery Of the empty tomb, they
find joy in recounting that conquest
of the grave so many years ago. At
the house of praise they hear it in
every hymn and prayer. The message
is the theme on every lip that comes
to worship. Their own hearts begin
to rejoice as the. truth becomes real
and they realize that they who have
gone before shall live again.-"Uncle
Ben" in Grit.

The Spring Brings Little Feathered

Easter Morning.
Symbol of Easter Day. a

A little lad, tired and worn at the
close Of the day, after a long struggle
with the solution of a problem cried
himself to sleep. While he slept the
father with rapid strokes of the pen
rewrote the problem, with it's correct
solution, on clean tablet. Opening
his eyes, look of gladness frightened
the little fellows face as he saw the
neatly worked out problem in the place
of the dirty, /tear-stained paper over
which he had fallen to sleep.
Easter day contains the promise for

feet, tear-stained product of our own

Nothing is better accredited for the
summer wardrobe than separate skirts
and they are made Of many different
materials. Beginning with such sheer
goods as georgette and organdie they
progress through satins and heavy
silks to fabrics of wool and heavy
cottons for utility skirts. They often
are narrowed toward the bottom and
they all have pockets-real or imita-
tion-designed with a cleverness never
equaied A fine example appears above
in a skirt that is ankle length and it
may be made of any Of the heavier
fabrics mentioned, in weaves designed
especially for separate skirts or sport
