A. f. White for some years the
popular host Of the Hotel Green
bricr at Ronceverte, lost his posi-
ton there when the property was
sold short time ago, and the man
agcment thereof taken in personal
charge by the purchasers. But Mr..
Whites popularity and success as
hotel manager stood him in good
stead and he was hardly out at
Ronceverte before he was in again
at Covington, Va, where he has
charge of the Hotel O'Gara, where
his many Greenbrier friends will
wish him continued success Mr..
Whites uniforme kindness and DO
likeness, readiness TO obligc and
constant care for the comfort and
pleasure Of his guests, won MANY
friends for him among his patrons
and among the people generally.
At Roncevcrtc, where much of his
life has been spent, there was gen.
cral regret at his departure shared,
without doubt. by the people of
Grcenbrier in general. Gus White
is a big-heartcd man who never
hcsitates when he sees an opportun-
ity to do another good turn.

\ FINAL APPEAL FOR THE REL
CROSS ROLL CALL.


1t seems like waste of time and
effort to be compelled 10 call at
tention to the Red Cross Roll Call.
The glorious work of the Red Cross
is known to all. in times of war it
stood between our soldiers and
pestilcncc and death from wounds.
III has gone everywhere that there
has been human need, woe, want.
and misery. And in our own colIn-
try we have had the finest kind of
demonstration possible of the worth
while work of the Red Cross, i'm
the work that has been done by
our self-sacrificing health nurse.
Surely every citizen Of our county
would covct il as an honor to be a
member Of the Red Cross This
membership onl ycOsts one dollar,
and no dollar could be better spent.
Surely many Of our people will
want to make larger gifts than the
membership, when they think that
their gift may mean the life of
some boy or girl in their own
neighborhood during the year. In
view Of the life-saving work Of the
Red Cross and in view of the need
OF work in our own county how
can any one keep out of the Red
Cross ranks? TO do otherwise
would be heartlcss. Do not wait
for some one to hunt you up to
secure your gift. Do your part
and help the Red Cross save life.
Many counties in West Virginia
have the money and cannot get a
Health Nurse. We have one rec
ognizcd as a leader in her profess
sion and need money TO enable her
to get assistants and thus reach
more people.
Surely Grccnbricr will not fail
10 support work that has attract
cd attention all over The countrv
by it's wonderful success in few
short months.

Call.

INCREASE OF SUICIDES
OF The Professions, Lawyers Lead
The List in United States

Since the signing of the armistice
there has been a constantly increas-
ing number of suicides everywhere,
according to a report issued by the
Save-a-Life League. In Germany,
Russia, Syria and other foreign coun-
tries, where the number has been
very large, the cause Us attributed to
despair because of miserable living
conditions brought about by the war.
The report tabulating 5,121 cases
of suicide in the United States during
1919. Of the professions lawyers led
the list with 43, of whom II were
Judges; Sc victims were physicians,
% teachers and II clergymen. The
list included 90 presidents of large
business concerns and so prominent
club members, millionaires, and
wealthy society women. Unhappy
marital relations were responsible for
$50 tragedies.
Men outnumbered women 1887 to
1857, but of the child suicides 252
were girls and 225 boys. Newspaper
editors appeared to be immune.

The Origin Of Woman

A magazine writer consumes con-
siderable space in trying to prove
that it is wrong to teach that woman
was made from Adams rib. He says
the proposition is ridiculous, and
while it may have been we'll enough
to teach it in the dim and distant
past, we ought to be ashamed of our
selves for sticking to the "superstl-
ton"
If our own idea or belief of the
origin of woman is superstition,
then it is quite as good superstition
as other people have. For ours is not
the only theory of the origin OF wo-
man. Many other people have many
other theories or superstitions.
The Australian natives believe that
woman was once a toad-and that
isn't very nice. If it is true, however,
it shows what a wonderful creature
the toad was transformed into and
we can rejoice thereat. Then, the
Laplanders believe that woman was
once a rabbit, and since rabbit is
more likeable than toad, we pre-
fer the Laplandsuperstition to the
Australian.
The japanese believe that woman
grew from tree-and that is getting
along still better. The feathery BIOS
SONS of the trees, with their color
and their perfume, seem more nearly
approaching the realm of womanhood
than do rabbits or toads.
But if ever we are compelled to
give up our idea that woman was
made from the rib of man, we are
going to accept the Persian theory.
That is by all odds the prettiest one,
and the one we could more easily
believe than any other. The Persians
assert that woman fell from heaven.

Raise More Chickens
[By Miss Hattie McMurrayl

Why not increase our poultry pro-
duction? 1t can easily be done and
should be since it is one of the best
sources of human food Standard
bred poultry will bring greater re-
turns than mixed breds. The Barred
Plymouth Rocks, White Wyandottes
ard Rhode Island Reds are consider
ed the best for general home use.
Try at least one sitting and prove to
yourself that they are most profitable.
Early spring is natures most fav-
orable growing season. BY Matching
chicks early they will have the adj
vantage of this favorable growing sea-
son and a longer growing period than
those Matched during the late spring
and early summer. The rate of growth
of a chick is greater during the first
four weeks of its life than any other
period. Therefore, other conditions be-
ing equal, the more favorable the pc
riod the greater will be the rate Of
growth during that period.
Hatch Early-Tcn Reason Why
/. Hatch as early in spring as con-
ditionS will permit.
,. Early Matched chicks grow rap
idly and have more vigor.
8. Early Matched chicks are strong
and less liable to die from lice and
disease.
A. Early Matched chicks have long
er growing season.
5. Hot weather retards growth of
chicks.
6. Early Matched chicks mature by
early fall.
Z. Mature pullets produce fall and
winter eggs.
8. Fall and winter eggs bring the
highest prices.
9. Early hatched pullets lay while
hens are moulting.
10. Early hatched pullets are the
ones that become broody early the
following spring.
Books on the feeding and care OF
chicks can be had at the office of the
Home Demonstration agent, Kings

Calf Made a Fatal Mistake

The following story comes from
Redding, CAL:
Thomas Gerlock, farmer, near here
is grieving over the death of what he
asserts was the most valuable calf in
California. The calf was permitted
to roam at will over the farm be-
cause it protected the chickens
against hawks, says Gerlock. Every
time a hawk would flash down from
the sky to grab off a chicken, the calf
was on the job, ready to give and
frequently there were fierce fights
between the calf and hawks.
One day lately Lieutenant Good
rich, from San Francisco, was flying
over the farm in an airplane, when
his engine went dead, and he was

forced to land. The calf had been
watching the great plane, apparently
believing it some new sort of hawk,
bent on a hen raid. As the plane
landed, the calf dashed up. The pro-
peller still was spinning. Before
Lieutenant Goodrich could leap to the
ground and chase the animal away
the calf had. butted the machine in
the nose.
