GREAT WAR PICTURE
TO Be SHOWN HERE
Lost Legion Will be a Bene-

gion.
GREAT WAR p1cT1RE

GREAT WAR PICTURE q.
A telegram received last night from
Reno Fleming conveyed the good
news, to Manager M. E Morgan of the
Grand Theatre and the American
Legion that Mr.. Fleming had attain
ed the object of his visit to New
York. The Lost Battalion has been
signed up for the week commencing
January &c. This truly great picture
IN Which the actors are men who
have fought over the scene sof their
fearful experience in the Argonne In
September, 1918, has been showing in
New York to capacity houses and this
VIII be the first time shown in West
Virginia.
The story of the lost battalion will
go down in history with the Charge
Of tho Light Brigade at Balaklava,
Napoleon'S sacrifice of the Old Guard
at Waterloo, and Picxetts charge a.
Gettysburg as q further example of
the effects of an excess OF impetuos-
tty on the part of superior officers at
times VIXEN a clear head is essen
tial.
The lost battalion, so called, was a
part OF the Seventy-Seyenth New
York Volunteers who were hemmed in
by the Germans and after several
days had elapsed were given up as
lost, until scouts from the Fiftieth
Aero Squadron, the Dutch Cleans
ers" as they were called, discovered
their plight and relieved the food
shortage much after the same manner
as the ravens fed Elijah. After being
hemmcd for nine days. the survivors
at last succeed in fighting their way
back.
Each surviving member, of which
there were very few left out of the
original twelve hundred, received n
special medal from congress, and
these are tho actors in the drama
which tho members of the American
Legion and their friends will have the
pleasure OF witnessing the last week
in this month. :. ~

mosphere into Gods world sRobert
Falconer'' by George Mcdonald, gives
. wonderful suggestion along lines OF
teaching.
Teachers should not dominate or
insist on their own methods. Neither
should teachers do all the talking and
ask all the questions. Instead teach
ers should be OF such personality that
they can lead quietly and unconscious
ly. opening the way 70 confidence on
the part OF the child. Children should
discipline themselves. Even the jails
understand this and where, there are
walls, prisoners try the harder to es-
cape.

which parents have with their chill
dren could b avoided II they under
stood the children as they should
Most of these tronssos comg through
mismanagement on the part of the
parent. You're running the child un-
der too tight rein and your boy and
girl becom efrantic, Just as a horse
would under the same circumstances
You say don't" too much. You hold
them down too severely! Let them be
easy and natural The parent and
teacher who understands this becomes
the real leader. Real leadership spells
friendship and love, and perfect de-
velopment OF the boy and girl. is q
result. Teach the child how to be
happy today and he will be happy to-
morrow. Study adolescent traits and
regard them reyerently and let the
boy and girl grow according to his
native instincts and talents under a
quiet interposing now and then and
happiness and greater amount OF
success will be the result.
