ROYAL ARCANUM,

The supreme secretary's report is all ways mostly devoted to the statistics of the order This year q hundred and seventy closely printed pages give the full details of every phase of the widely spread business of the order.
 Every cent paid out of it's treasury is duly accounted for, with a showing in every case of the exact amount paid. date of payment, reason for making the payment. and the name of the person who received the money. Probably no other organization of the same s'ze. and certainly no commercial life insurance company makes any printed report to it's members with anything like the same fullness of detail
 The mortality and membership sta tistics are also given with the same care ful itemization, so that the document is an almost unmatched. mine of informa- | ton for any mathematically inclined person who may wish to figure out the why's and wherefores of any part of the orders work or condition from an act uarial or arithmetical view point. But unfortunately-or otherwise 1 figures are not interesting reading for most people. It is exceedingly important to have the information Of this sort care 1 fully collected and preserved. but IL Is not likely to be edifying in the columns of the Bulletin.

Trying TO End Their Difficulties

An interesting meeting of Re-
publican party leaders was held in
Washington City last week, the object
OF winch was TO Straightcn out the
KINKS caused by Sam b. Montgomerv's
determination to run as an indie
pendent candidate for Governor of
west Virginia. At the recent primary
election Judge Morgan received on the
race OF the returns plurality of p
as votes, but Montgomery claims that
theSe were secured by the most ONT
rageouS frauds, and he refuses TO abide
oy the results. In the conference last
week, which was attended BY Senators
Sutherland and Elkins, Represent
atlVeS Bowers, Reed, Goodykoontz and
woodward, besides other prominent
west NIrglnianS, no definite decision
was arrived at. Various solutions ~
the diticultleS were proposed, one be-
ing suggestion that both Montgomery
and Morgan retire, but nothing couId
De agreed upon. II was said thar the
meeting was harmonious, and thar the
matter would again be taken lid when
me new State committee meets at
ParkerSburg in July.
Mr.. Montgomery and his supporters
were at the meeting, and he issued the
ioi'o"lhg statement after the confer
ence adjourned:

Railroaders On Strike.

The movement, OF freight in this sec
ton has been practically suspended on
account of the striking yard crews in
Hagerstown, Brunswick, Baltimore,
Washington. Philadelphia and other
eastern terminals. Thousands OF men
are cut on strike, and practically no
freight trains are running. The pas
sengcr service has not been inter
fered with The men are striking on
their hook, as the unions TO which they
belong have refused TO sanction the
strike. The ostenSible reason for GO
ing out is that they are tired of wait
ing for decision by the federal com
mission which is considering their ap-
plication for higher wages. Many of
the older men are not in sympathy with
the strike, but have been forced into it
by the younger set, who have fewer
responsibilities. The tie-up OF freight
is complete, as in Hagerstown alone
probably more than thousand men
have quit work. President M. c.
Byers, of the Western Maryland Rail-
road, yesterday issued statement in
which he served notice on the en-
ployees of that road that unless they
returned to work by Friday morning
at 8 o'clock. they will be discharged
from the service. This means that
they will not receive the back pay that
might come to them through decision
of the railroad labor board. Much
loss and inconvenience has been oc-
casioned by the tie-u" of the roads
and many industries will close down
unless the movement OF freight is re-
sumed with he next few days.
News this morning is more favor,
able. The strike among the Bruins
wick men collapsed yesterday. and
trains are running again on the B. &
o. Railroad. The situation is also bet
:er at HagerstOwn, where number of
men have returned to work, with pros
poets that more of the others will 90

Planning For Summer


You're going 10 need electricity on
your farm this summer. Thousands
{. farmers used il for the first time
last summer and are loud in their
declaration that they wouldn't 60
through another summer without cleo
tricity TO help out.
In the first place, electric lights, be-
side being bright and radiant, are cool
lights. They will not heat UP a room
after night as will an open fame light.
Then electric lights do away with the
necessity for cleaning smelly coal oil
lamps and lanterns-and how they do
smell on hot summer nights.
Then you'll want electricity this
summer 10 run the electric fans that
will cool the hot kitchen, that will
make cool breezes around the dining
table and that will drive the hot air
out Of the bedrooms and make the
nights comfortable.
All these things you are going TO
want this summer and, if you want
them hard enough you can have them.
The small, individual electric plant has
been developed especially with the
idea of giving electricity to the farm
homes, no difference where they are
located. And farmers are adopting
them, too, in great numbers. Nova
days if you travel the country roads in
Maine or Ohio, in Alabama, Iowa or
Oregon, you will find farm homes
lighted after dark with electric lights,
and served in the daytime with
electricity from their own electric
plants.
If you want to enjoy electric service
this summer yourself, it will pay you
information as to just what electricity
would mean to you. If you can get
your buildings wired, the foundation
built for the electric plant and the plant
installed before the hot and busy sum-
mer days come you will be we'll on the
way to the most comfortable and enjoy
able summer you ever spent.

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton assembled in San Francisco on
Monday last and was called 10 order
by National Chairman Homer S. Cum
mings, who made the keynote speech
ringing declaration OF Democratic
principles and accomplishments and
a vigorous condemnation OF the action
of the Republican majorities in both
houses OF Congress the past year. IL
was good speech. The best thing
that the convention did at its first
session was to send proper greetings
and appreciation to President Wilson,
with congratulations upon his con-
valescence. The message to the Pres
ident was adopted after his name had
been enthusiastically cheered for fully
twenty minutes and the various State
delegations had paraded around the
great auditorium with thunders OF ap-
plause.

More Money Needed For State Schools

Two big problems confront the State
of West Virginia in regard TO the State
educational institutions, it was de-
clared by j. F. Marsh, secretary of the
State Board of Education. One of
these relates to the salaries of the pro-
feSsorS and teachers in the schools. tho
other to the inadequacy of dormitory
buildings TO house all the students who
will attend next year
To solve the salary problem the
board has allowed increases Of about
25 per cent IN pay, but to meet this
the Legislature will have to make
special provisions when it meets next
January.
All dormitory rooms at some of the
State schools have already been en-
gagged for next year terms, MIR. Marsh
said, and there is little prospect of
getting more dormitories with the
prices of building material so high that
appropriations by the Legislature will
little more than half way cover the
cost of the proposed buildings.
Information to the State board of
the heads of the various schools re-
garding attendance at the summer
school courses was said to. indicate
that West Virginia will have no teach
er shortage next year
Nearly every normal school in the
State has more than twice as many
students this year as ever before, and
with one year certificates TO be award
ed to all high school graduates who
take the summer school course the
teaching ranks bid fair to be we'll fill
ed, Mr.. Marsh said.

A horrible crime is reported from
near Grafton this State. Sam Ma
rena. a miner of Wendell, TAYLOR coun-
ty, drove in an automobile to the
Sherih'S Office in Grafton Saturday.
and gave himself up for killing Frank
olio, a boarder at his home. The
men are miners. 1t is alleged that
Marena, after shooting Folio down as
he passed the doorway of a neighbour
ING house in which Marena spent the
night, dragged the body to a pigsty
md threw it to the hogs, which were
tearing of the clothing when it was
res cucd. Marena said he shot Folio
because he had destroyed the hap
piEesS OF his home and had not ONLY
refused to leave the Marena home,
where he was a boarder, but defed
Marena to put him out. Mrs. Mare4,
the mother of six children, in her tes-
timony before the coroner's Jury, said
her husband at times was not very
good to her and intimated that il did
not matter much with which man she
lived. Marena spent the night at a
house two doors from his home, leav-
ing folio at his own house, and il was
from the doorway of the neighbours
mouse that he is alleged to have shot.
