School Buildings Dilapidated

This county with its miles and
miles of magnificent water front, its
agricultural and manufacturing adj
vantages, and its rich historical set
ting, has many beautiful homes and
churches. The, school-house as a rule,
is the most dilapidated and homely
building in the community. 1t stands
out in sharp contrast to its sur
roundings, not an imposing relic OF
the grand old days of the past; not
a modern structure to which the
community can point with pride as
monument to their devotion to high
educational ideals, but as mute
reminder of the wrong idea Of edu-
cational economy. Shall we continue
this false economy or shall we pro-
vide for the adequate care of the
hundreds of boys and girls now
within the county. is the question
every voter will pass on at the COM
ing election"

The executive committee decided at
their first meeting to visit each com
munity where a school is needed, TO
viist the school in session and TO
hold a public meeting in each commu-
nifty to hear the wishes of the pa
irons before deciding just what
schools should be built and the
amount of money to be apportioned
to each community. Can anyone sug-
gest better way of deciding such
matters?
MANY persons in the county are
unaware of the overcrowded condi-
ton in many sections of the county.
They have opposed the bond issue
because they are not aware of the
overerowded condition OF many of our
schools.
THE value of a community puts
on public education is measured
largely by the financial support of
public schools. The voters this fall
will not speak through their repre-
sentatiyes but. will answer in person
whether or not they want better
schools.
Next the home, the school should
be a place of comfort and beauty,
cleanly. sanitary, well heated. per-
fectly lighted-a place in which the
children and the entire school COM
munity should take pride, and which
should stand forth as true index
of the social, civic, and even moral
standards OF the community.

COAL OPPOSED
Operators Appoint a Com
mittee to Try and
Stop 1t

Going on record as being opposed
to railroads confscating coal at
the mines the directors OF the
Northern West Virginia Coal op-
orators Association held an tmpor-
tant session in the rooms In the ia
cobs building this morning. the
operators say the B and o. rail-
road, which has recently resorted
to this practice, should make ar
rangements to buy sufficient ton
mage as other consumers do.
In order to fight the prevailing
practice a committee composed OF
c, H. Jenkins, Fairmont; A. c. Bee
son, Annabelle, and G. T. Bell
Fairmont was appointed by the d.
rectors to handle the situation.
1t is understood that a more ia
vorable outcome Of the Lambert
Run Coal Company case is expect
ed because Of recent opinions hand
ed down In the higher courts. This
suit is one in which the B. and Q.
railroad was made defendant and
the issue was over the use OF as
signed cars.

The Chief replied in the mega.

measuring glances between the
two men. The gamblers had not
the slightest intention of permit

visit from the police to stop their
game, but what he saw in Snider's
eye made Belt resolve to employ
strategy, so the game was moved
over inside the window glass plant.
AT the same time the Chief was
not reassured by what he had seen

At the regular November term
OF the Circuit court which con-
vened yesterday. Judge William S.
Marion county bar, appointed 4
committee OF three members of the
bar to make report tomorrow
morning at ten O'Clock regarding
the expedlenCe Of postponing the
jury cases coming up for trial at
this term, until about January 15,
on account OF the large number OIL
chancery cases on the docket.
Usually the November term Of
court lasts for about three months,
but lnasmuch as Judge Raymond
will leave the bench to his success
sor the last of December, there is
a strong sentiment among the mem
bers Of the bar in favor Of cleaning
up the chancery cases first, 1t be-
ing physically impossible for the
present incumbent to try all the
cases within the short space Of
seven weeks.
Among the chancery cases that
have been matured for this term OF
course are forty-two divorce applt'
cations for divorce.
The committee appointed by
Judge Raymond Is headed by Judge
W. S. Meredith, who succeeds to
the bench in January 1.
Tho trial jury will not report FOR
duty until next Monday, NoVem-
Der Is, before which time 1t Is ex.
pected that the questions Of post

Z FRIED eggs
MUCH TOO MUCH
Especially When They
Followed Four Days
of Fasting

That hunger striking Is not con-
fined exclusively to the Ould Sod
was shown this morning when Paul
Sabo, a Hungarian miner. was
brought in from Hutchinson by
Deputy Sheriff Howard Woodward
to answer to a complaint OF his
wife, Dora, that he had struck her
in the eye. Pnul's defense was that
Dora had gone on a strike four days
ago, and refused to cook his meals.
This morning, he says, the usual
demand was not refused, but In
stead Dora made up for the lost
meals by frying twelve eggs as
we'll as a propOrtionate amount or
bacon, fried potatoes and other
concomitants Of a healthy miners
breakfast. The humor Of the thing
seems to have been lost on Paul,
however, and he gave Dora slap
on the face, that was turning TO a
dark indigo as she told her SIDE
OF the story.
Dora's defense was that they hau
lived in the house not more than
week, and that certain modern
conventences such as running wa,
ter. had net yet been provided,
hence the strike. Justice M. Il.
Musgrove fined Paul IS and costs
and advised the couple to go home
and patch up their differences.
Howard Sapp was arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sherlff Howard
woodward on a charge OF having
insulted q woman at the B. and Q.
restaurant, in the local yards,
Sapp was lodged in the county jan
