THREE coLoRED Mem IN LEGIs
LATUEE

Especial TO BystaDdey by j. =. GLimff-I
Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 2s.-The pro
hibftion against the exhibition during
the period OF the war of the Birth OF
Nation and similar pictures and
plays, pat into effect last summer by an
order of the Executive State Council Of
Defense. was continued indefinitely by
TIE legislature Thursday last, when it
passed measure drafted by II. j. Cape
hart, one of the three eolored members
Of the lower house The law provides az
a penalty not only for exhibiting but
also for advertising such pictures and
plays a fine of not more than 81 900 and
confinement IN Jail of not more than 80
days, the latter at the discretion of the
court
Other legislation of special benefit TO
the race was the creation of the office of
state supervisor of eoIored schools with
q salary Of ~, 400 per annum and $500
for travelling expenses, and an advisory
board TO the state board of education to
be composed of two citizens of color,
the compensation Of each to be 81 600 a
year and $500 for travelling expenses.
This advisory board, acting with the su-
pervssor, practically win have charge of
ali matters pertaining 10 the state 8
eolored educational institutions. IT su-
tEoritativeiy is reported that among he
ffrst duties it will be called upon TO per.
form will be the recommending to the
state board of education of president
for the Yves. Virginia Collegiate Insti-
rEte, where a change has been under
consideration for some time.
I'm the matter Of appropriations for
the NEXT two years the legislature was
very liberal to the eolored institutions,
For the erection and maintenance Of o
hospital for colored insane 1855 900 was
provided. Forty thousand dollars was
voted for land, buildings and current
expenses Of colored deaf and blind
school. Other institutions and their APP
preparations are: CoIorcd tuberculosis
sanitarium, $4,000; orphans home,
s37 900; w. Va. Collegiate Institute,
$4,000; Bluefeld Colored Institute,
S67 600; storer College Ga private in
stitution), s5,4O0; Barnett, Harrison,
Mercer and Lomax Hospitals privately
owned), each $4,000, total of sos, 600.
AS with appropriations SO was the
legislature in handing out positions.
There were 20 colored attaches, ranging
from clerks to janitors and maids. And
if any discrimination was shown in com
mittee assignments, the colored mem
bers Of the house of delegates were the
benefciaries. Nutter Of Kanawha coun-
ty served on the judiciary, forfeited and
unappropriated lands, and insurance
committees; Coleman Of Fayette on the
forestry and conservation, penitentiary,
labor, and medicine and sanitation
Capehart Of Mcdowell on taxation and
finance, claims and grievances, humane
institutions and public buildings, execu-
tive offices and library, and railroad

GOOD THOUGHTS FOR TODAY.
BY Ben Franklin IS Thriftograms.


Save and have.
Every little makes a muckle. .m
Little strokes fell great oaks.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
God helps those that help themselves.
Spend one penny less than thy clear
gains.
Look before or you'll find yourself
behind. '.@
The way to wealth is as short as the
way to market.
He that waits upon fortune is never
sure Of dinner.
Money can beget money, and its off
spring can beget more.
It is foolish to lay out money |in a
purchase Of repentance.
Learning is to the studious and riches
to the careful.
Waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both.
Remember that money is of the pro
life, generating nature.
All things are cheap to the. saving,
dear to the wasteful.
If you would be wealthy, think of
saving as well as getting.
Beware Of small expenses; a small
leak will sink a great ship.
A penny saved is a twopence clear.
A pin a day is groat q year.
Thrift is one Of the great lessons we
have learned from this war. But every
body hash It learned it as yet.
The war is not won until the problems
it created are solved and the debts paid.

it to the Germans themselves to decide
which long distance telephone lines

The Germans requested that five

TAME CROW IN PERIL

Bird Brings Wild Mates to Owners
CornfieId.
Last August Simon Tixel Of Platt
Center, N. Y, while working in the
woods, caught young crow. He
brought it home and it became very
tame and great pet, but it's life is
now iu jeopardy, Tixel declares.
For the past few weeks, he says,
his farm has been overrun with wild
crows. His tame crow flies into the
woods, perched itself upon limb Of
tree, caws few times, and soon the
tree is full Of crows. Then the tame
crow flies home, followed by the wild
ones. Tixel says he has no objection
to the crow bringing home it's BROTH
ers, but when he coaxes them into
his barn and they begin to banquet on
his oats, corn and wheat, it is more
than he can stand. He will give the
crow one more chance, and if it does
not stop it's performance off goes it's
head.
Tixel says he has shot close to 100
crows in his barn, but it does not de-
plete the ranks. They have eaten at
least ten bushels Of grain, he de-
clares.

Ing the turtle it's freedom. The tur-
tie weighed 600 pounds, and it's age
was estimated at 1000 years.
Probably the reason for the pur-
chase and the freedom given to the tur-
tie is that the reptile is sort of sacred
emblem and the Chinaman who can set
one free in the ocean considers him
self especially blessed.
An interesting ceremony followed
the financial transaction. All Long fed
the turtle with several bowls Of sake,

DON'T CASH WAR STAMPS
BEFORE THEY ARE DUE
Means Throwing Away Persons Saw
ing and Running an Excellent
Investment.

Every holder of q War Savings
Stamp certificate should examine
carefully the table of interest payment
on the back of the card. John H.
Meyering, director of organization for
the central committee, called atten-
ton to the table today and pointed
out that while the stamp bought for
Sab this month increases in value
one cent a month until Dec. 81, 1893.
that brings 1t to value Of only 94.71
on that day. But the next day, Jan
uary 1, 1924, when the stamp is pay
able, the owner gets IS for it. The
stamp thus increases in Value 20 cents
over night from December 81, 1923,
to January 1, 1924. This amounts
practically to one-third of the entire
interest payment. but this final third
is never received by persons who cash
in their stamps at the postofflce be.
fore they fall due.
"Cashing in War Savings Stamps
now is not only throwing away a per.
sons savings, is running an excellent
investment by seriously damaging the
rate OF interest payment" said Mr.
Meyering. 1T is that final 20 cents
added to the value of tho stamp that
makes 1t a good investment. 81"
Even more dangerous than LOSING
the interest Is the scattering Of care
full saving. The man who could save
$4.12 to $4.23 in any month last yea,
is seldom forced to have the money
back today. Unless he must have the
money back it is a mistake for him
to change the stamp, whore his saving
is safeguarded, into the form Of cash
It's too easy to spend loose change
The whole history of savings shows
that the less accessible saved money
is, the more likely it is to stay saved
Money in War Savings Stamps or in
the bank is much safer than in the
pocket. It is a great mistake to cash
in stamps which represent careful say.

MILFORD G. Cakes of Patten, who re-

Cakes was severely wounded sew

but returned without apparent dis
hgurement, owing to surgical opera
lions in British army hospitals. In
one battle when he was wounded he
lost his Identification card and was
hustled to a hospital more dead than

Ing 1t impossible for him to commune
cate his identity, and as he was miss.
Ing from his company his death was
finally reported. Some soldier was
buried under his name.
A surgical operation gave to him
new Jaw bones, his tongue was sewed
up and other disfigurements RENE
died. and today one has to examine
his face carefully to find the scars.
When young Cakes enlisted in 1914
ne was seventeen years old, but his
discharge papers give his age as
twenty-five years. This is, however,
explained on learning that he was so
anxious to enlist that he raised his
age to gain admission. Cakes has
been cited for bravery, and has re.
