MINISTERS WITH BACKBONE
NEEDED.
Wytheville, Va. April s.

Wytheville, Va, April S.
Editor The News:
l read your paper each week with
some pleasure, and especially did |
enjoy your vindication of Mr.. Peters.
Now, l think instead of some of
our Virginia representative having
influenza, many of them seemed to
have had, while in Richmond, Peter
phobia, and some of them did mako
an exhibit of themselves that they
have no right to be proud Of. If we
had more preachers in Virginia like
the one at Patrick court house, who
showed up that shyster Joyce, then
we would have better condition in
Virginia. Now, what we want Is q
ministery in Virginia with more back
bono and this man certainly did dis
play spirit that caused him to be
admired by all good Virglnians.
Now, scanning your paper found
In the corner the enclosed clipping
and under that you credit IT,. Nc
Dowell Recorder with 1t, and l think
it would be n good idea for you to
visit WEIGH and learn the conditions
more of that town. They have more
people there that are strangers TO
work than any other locality know
of. They sit around in That town and
do nothing but chew the rag and
pounce upon the innocent coal opera
tors at every opportunity. Now, you
can see the practice made by your
unworthy contemporary ut Welch.
go there right often and know some
thing about conditions there.
Now, when old man Swope ran this
paper it was the most unreasonable
sheet ever read. and it seems that
the parties who have fallen heir to it
are no better.
Yours very truly,
R p JOHNSON

Origin of Pin Money

The expression, "pin money" originally
came from the allowonce which a husband
gave his wife to purchase pins. At one
time pins were dreadfully expensive, the
Book of Wonders explains, so that only
wealthy people could afford them, and
they were saved so carefully that in those
days you could not have looked along the
pavement and found a pin which you
happened to be in need of as you can and
often do today.
By curious law the manufacturers of
pins were only allowed to sell them on
Jan. and Q of each year, and so when
those days came around the women whose
husbands could afford it secured pin
money from them and went out and got
their pins.
Pins were known and used as long ago
as 1347 A. D. They were introduced
into England in 1910. In 1924 an Amer
ican named Might invented machine
for making pins which enabled them to be
manufactured cheaply. About 1,500 tons
of iron and brass are made into pins
every year in the United States.-Ex-

Approaching Perpetual

Of course, there is still unsolved the old
riddle of perpetual motion, which thou
sands of cranks have spent their lives upon
in the past. Scientists tell us that there
is no perpetual motion known even to
astronomy, so that it will never be dis
covered on earth! The world, they say,
is slowly checking its speed round the
sun, and its diurnal revolution, but so
slowly as to be imperceptible within his
toric times, and the sun they say is a dy-
ing fire which will be extinct in few
hundred billion years. Yet the discovery
of radium, with its apparently inexhaust-
ible energy, rather shook the scorn with
which the ideal of perpetual motion used
to be regarded, and if machine could be
constructed to go for twenty years, on its
own as it were, it would be perpetual
enough for all ordinary purposes!-Ex-

Ether and Matter

. The densest matter is more or less por.
Gus. Gold will absorb mercury as a
lump of sugar will absorb water, showing
there must be interstices or interatomic
spaces in it, but the ether shows no such
property. If drop of water could be
magnifed sufficiently one would ultimate
ly see the different atoms Of hydrogen and
oxygen that constitute the molecules Of
water. If a small volume of ether could
be thus magniied the indications are that
the ultimate part would look like the first,
which is the same as saying that it is not
made up of discrete particles, but fills
space completely. This is expressed by
saying that the ether is continuous med
ium and incompatible with natter
Exchange.

Lava L Landscape


(Osntinwsd from page ~
Now we crossed over the second river
Aow of 1907 to that of 1887 which came
from lower point of the mountain and
flowed to the sea. Mother Nature is
healing and covers her fiery child's scars.
Lava is breaking up into rich soil
where small bushes and ferns have
sprouted and taken root. Some day a
forest will grow over it. life will sup
plant death, and the once molten lava
will furnish food for man and beast.
To many this dead lava flow is a
more stupendous spectacle than Kilauea
itself-it is hell dried up. In it you may
see what the fierce force of Nature cando.
Nowhere else on land or sea is one so
conscious of his smallness. We sped
away and left this section of the Inferno
Unlike Pharaoh, we passed safely through
this red sea of lava. 1t is Kau's master
piece, worth trip around the world to
see.

Sweet Thoughts

Catch the sweet thoughts of home and oi
love,
Thoughts that are rich and inspiring.
Sweet as the flowers that bloom on thu
mead;
Bright, and forever untiring!
Round you they float in the sweet summer
breeze,
High in the starlights they glitter,
Mirrored in waves or fast flowing tide,
Cheering the soul that is bitter!
Catch the sweet thoughts of home and Of
love,
They come in the shade of the cleaning
Bathing the soul in the perfume of peace
While zephyr winds softly are roam
ing!
Purity lends them its garment of light,
Sun-splendors robe them in beauty
Come spirit-thoughts from far, far away
Bind me to love and to duty!
Brood DER my WEAKNESS bringing sweet
rest,
Cheer all the shadings of sorrow!
Help me to make some other heart glad,
With hopes of brighter tomorrow!

A Dogs a Dog For A. That

Although he has no pedigree
And takes no prize, and a. that,
Although he may mongrel be,
A dogs dog for a. that.
For a. that and a. that,
For what's prize and a. that?
He still can be bonny beast,
The friend O. man and a. that.
Although his blood may not be blue,
Though he lacks "points" and a. that,
To child and man he can be true,
A dogs a dog for a. that.
For a. that and a. that,
For what are points" and a. that,
Can he not wag his tail as well,
And bark as loud for a. that?
Although his ears may not be clipped
And pointed up and a. that,
Although his tail may not be nipped,
A dogs a dog for a. that.
For a. that and a. that,
His ears may flop and a. that
A mongrel cur is still dog,
The friend O. man, and a. that!

Man and His Shoes

How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both soul may lose
Both have been tanned and both made
tight,
yscobblers; both get left and right,
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are sold
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with man
The first shall be the last and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new
When men wear out, they're men dead
too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loath;
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out; Now would you
choose,
To be a man or be his shoes.

Life Insurance Using

Out of $90,000,0O0 paid to bene6ciaries
by life insurance companies last year, only
100000 was contested in court. This
fact was brought out by Haley Fiske
President of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company, in addressing the meeting
of the Association of Life Insurance
Counsel, in New York.
Mr.. Fiske said the face value of the
policies now in force totaled $4,000, ,000,-
900, and the assets of the companies
$4,000, 100000 OF this amount, he said
$1,000, 100000 was invested in bonds, and
$1,000, 100000 in railroad securities.
He declared the insurance companies
were vitally involved in the settlement Of
the railroad problems, and predicted that
unless solutions were quickly effected, the
railroads would face bankruptcy
He declared the Plumb plan was "toe
ridiculous" to be discussed.-Exchange.
