conservation. DR.. l.. A. Riser, of the
state board, was in Union yesterday
planning for this six nights campaign.
The use of moving pictures will be re-
sorted to, and it is most excellent
method by which to educate the peo-
pie along health preservation. Jones'
vile, Lockhart, Santuc, West Springs,
Sedalia and Monarch will be visit
ed by the representative of the board
and at each place two pictures will be
shown. The pictures have been chosen
with not only view to instructing
the people, but also of offering a de-
lightful entertainment. You will see
in an advertisement in today's Times
the schedule arranged for the six
meetings.

DECIE TO STAND
BY ORIGINAL PLAN

London, July 2S.-The decision
reached by Premiers Millerand and
Lloyd George at their Boulogne con-
ference yesterday, to stand by the
original plan for a peace conference
with the Russian Soviets and that the
London conference which the Soviet
demanded could not take place unless
the Bolsheviki reversed their present
attitude and agreed to discuss at the
conference peace with Poland with all
qualified representatives of Russia
and the border states in attendance
receives no enthusiastic endorsement
by the London press. By the anti
Bolsheviki papers it is soundly de-
nounced, one of them saying it "will
bring nearer that dependence recog-
nlzation of the Soviet government
which we especially detest and dread" !"
Premier Lloyd George, whom these
papers regard as anxious to estab
hsh relations wit hthe Soviet, is
sharply criticized, one them puts it
for surrendering to the Bolsheviki
and creating by his policy very Sc
rious situation"
The London Times declares the
matter must be submitted to the par
haments of the allies. The paper
sympathizes with the French view
that America must have voice in
the question, implying it's belief that
America would repudiate an agree
ment based on reorganization of the
Bolsheviki condition.

OF the wave of crime that is sweep
ing Chicago. The humblest Christ

explanation, and that, too, in one word
sin.

THE TIMES MAN CONVERTED

For several years we have been
hearing of the fireless cooker, and to
tell the truth we did not put much
faith in the apparatus. We had an idea
that it would serve only when moth
ing better could be provided, and that
it was makeshift at best. We have
been converted" our mind has un-
dergone complete change, for we are
now, by actual experience, testing the
value of the thing. Miss Mahala
Smith, county agent for the girls, boys
and womens' clubs, has been demon
strating the use of the fireless cooker
all over Union County, and we had
heard many favorable comments as to
the value OF the fireless cooker. Hav-
| ing heard SO much, we concluded to
fry one. We find it better than we
even dreamed it would be, particular
ly for working people. Think of put
ting on a dinner consisting of beef,
four vegetables and pot of rice and
going on about your business until
dinner time then going home to find
a piping hot, thoroughly cooked meal
awaiting you! We cannot say too
fence for the kitchen; it is a wonder,
and but for the missionary work of
Miss Smith we might yet be going
home each day to cold "snack" or a
quick get up of scrambled eggs and
bakers bread! And this fireless cooker
thing does all kind of stunts, as we
are learning every day.

We were in great hopes that nomi-
nee Cox would not have such a hard
time preparing his speech as did nomi-
nee Harding, but it seems that "Jim-
mie' is finding it quite job. If Gov.
Cox comes forth with as many plati-
tudes and as little real, red blooded
ideas as did Senator Harding, we will
be still further disappointed.

1t is well for the United States to
move slowly in the matter of recogniz-
ing the Soviet regime in Russia. Le-
nine has proposed that a conference
with the allies be held in London with
view to discussing possible peace
proposals between Russia and Poland.
1t is very skillful plan to force the
allies to recognize Russia's present
government.

1t is real pleasure to make trip
over the most of the roads in the
county, now that the splendid work
has been transforming the roads into
real highways. From Goshen Hill
through Union to Gibbs, the Appa-
lachian Highway is fine, SO also is the
macadam road, out as far as Tiger
river, the road from Jonesville to
Uockhart by Kelly's, from Union to
Jonesville, from Jonesville to the
Cherokee line on Pac6iet river; from
Union to Sardis and from Union to-
wards Santuc. We have not been
over the other sections recently and
cannot, therefore, tell just what has
been done there; but we have seen
enough to know that some very ex-
cellent work has been done. by the
commissioners. 1t now looks like
Union County will be practically out
of the mud by winter. We hope the
road to the Spartanburg line can be
and also the road from
Gibbs to Coleraine The Coleraine
section, each winter is practically iso-
lated and is sadly in need of an out
let.

Voter Makes Appeal

Mr. Editor:
After all the question of a
Judge depends upon honesty and
competency. The law is the ac-
cumulated wisdom of the ages,
and knowledge thereof is only
to be acquired by long study.
A man may be honest, yet, if he
don't know the law he makes a
bad Judge. Again a man may
know the law and if he is not
honest would be likewise a bad
Judge. Intruth he would be the
worst kind of a judge, because
shrewd crook avoids detection,
and is capable of doing more in
jury. We do not intend to de-
tract from any one but it has al
ways been an old rule, sanction
ed by long usage, that men US
ually stick to that which has
been tried and found certain. In
the present contest for the
Judge ship we have one candi-
date whom we have tried for
nine years, and we know he pos
sesses the qualifications of a
Judge. All the men who have at
tended his courts know this.
Witnesses and jurors have often
spoken of the fairness and abbey
with which Judge Kittle trans
acts his business in the court.
| am aware that there are other
candidates in the field, but there
| is no just reason why Judge
Kittle should not be retained.
| After the cheat of battle" is over
after the different factions have
cooled down., in that sober
quiet which comes between now
and November, while the people
are sitting by their firesides, it
will be too late to amend should
they make a mistake in selecting
Judge who is incompetent,
or otherwise disqualified for the
office. Then, again, if the mis-
take is not discovered in that
time, but not until a year or two
| afterwards, when every one car
see that cases are wrongly decid-
ed, hundreds of appeals are tax
en-, causing the litigants to pay
| thousands of dollars, in order
to get correct decision, it viii
then be ever lastingly too late tt
correct the mistake which might
be now made in selecting I
wrong man for Judge. Indeed
an incompetent or unqualified
! Judge is a calamity to the whole
community, and, the worst kline
of calamity because all oul
rights, of whatever. kind, mus
! be vidicated by the court. What
must be the condition if the
court is incapable in doing so
| Let us make no mistake but Sc
lect delegates for Judge Kittle.

RETAINING THE SOLDIERS


BALTIMORE, July 24th.-
Good news for West Virginia's
ex ?service men suffering with
disabilities which constitute vo-
cational handicaps was received
in Clarksburg today by the Am
erican Legion Post, the Ameri-
can Red Cross and other agenc-
les cooperating in the work of
aiding former service men. An
nouncement was made that on
August IL and 1.-the any man
who believe himself entitled to
restraining at the hands of the
Federal Board for Vocational
Education, may have his case
decided and, if he is eligible, a
man can be placed in training
at once by appearing at the of
flee of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education, Clarks-
burg, West Virginia, on those
dates.
Local people who received the
announcement declared that it
marked one of the most mo-
mentous stops taken by the Fed
eral Board in the handling of its
job of restraining West Virgin
las soldiers, sailors, marines, OF
nurses, whose disability, which
was incurred in, or was trace
able to, the service, prevents
them from competing success.

NO STRIKE AT WOODEN
MILLS

There is no strike in the Wool
en- Mills at Philippi from the re-
ports received from there. Like
all good strong business con-
Germs they are looking to the
future fro more bushes and adj
vertise for more help.
Mr.. Edward C. Hall, Presi-
dent of the Philippi Blanket
Mills Inc, of Philippi, w. Va,
is quoted from a recent conver-
sation as follows:
"There are apparently numer-
Gus reports being circulated alb
out Barbour county to the effect
that there is a strike in force at
the plant of this Company, and
furthermore that the reports
are intended to scare those men
or women who are contemplate
ing coming to work at our plant,
and to give them the idea that
they in will in some way get into
trouble should they attempt to
come here to work.
Il wish to say, however, that
these reports are false ones and
that our factory is running al
ong nicely, and so far as we are
concerned will continue to run
along in the future, as we have
orders on our books which will
enable us to do so, barring some
unforeseen charges. A few
weeks ago few of our girls in
the weave room, who represent
the smaller part of our employee
es, attempted to form a labor
union. The majority of our en-
ployees did not want a labor UNI
ion and stayed at their work.
Those girls who were attempt
ing to form the labor union were
discharged, after having been
fairly werned that the Company
nor the majority of the employee
es wanted a union in the Mill.
Naturally, ! presume these
girls, who are out of work, if
would be glad to interfere, If
possible, and prevent other girls
coming here to work, and about
the only way they can do this is
to circulate false rumors.
eve have replaced a good part
of the girls who were discharged
and we need a few more nice
girls and have advertised to this
effect in the Philippi and Be-
ington papers, and we are re-
ceiving numerous applications
and expect to berunning full
time within two or three weeks
"This plant never has shut
down on account of labor trou.
bles, and the best evidence OF
satisfaction is to see the people
at work to-day producing about
80 per cent of our normal days
production. AS far as appear.
ance goes at our plant, you
would never know there haC
been any trouble whatsoever.
II hope these statements will
serve to correct any wrong i'm
pressions created Throughout
the County"

WOMAN CAMPER s@'
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Elkins, July 28th.-Mrs. w.
C. Lewis, of Cumberland, Md,
wife of a we'll known Western
Maryland conductor, is a patti
ent at the City Hospital with a
bullet wound through her body
as the result of an unfortunate
accident at camp in the noun
tains near Spruce where she has
been spending the summer with
her husband and two children in
hopes of benefitting her health
which has been broken as the re-
suit of a severe attack, of flu.
Mr.. Lewis has been amusing
himself by trapping for bear in
the mountains and Monday af-
ternoon about A 80 was cleaning
and loding a gun preparatory to
visiting one Of his traps. Mrs.
Lewis was sitting on the porch
steps below her husband who
has a crippled hand. The gun
slipped and was discharged
striking the porch floor, enter
ing Mrs. Lewis back near the
shoulder and passing through
near the heart. The injured
woman was hurried to Cass on a
handcar and brought to Elkins
by automobile arriving here at
10 o'clock Monday night. Not
withstanding the fact that Mrs.
Lewis suffered a great loss of
blood and was much weakened
her condition is such that her re-
covery is confidently hoped for.

TO CLOTHE THE CHILDREN

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July
26.-(Special to The Progress
ive) "A good many West Virgin
la contributors to the clothing
campaign now being conducted
by the Near East Relief, state
headquarters of which are locat-
ed here, are going to have their
charities visualixed to them in
the near future.
This statement was made by
DR.. William Edwin Smith, West
Virginia State Director, after
his return to Charleston from
Ocean Grove, N. j, where he at
tended the national conference
of Near East Relief workers.
The plan is to take before
and after" photographs of the
Armenian children to whom
outfits of clothing are sent, and
to send these photographs to do
nors. Any person giving a new
outfit of clothing either boys or
| girls and sending with it re-
quest for these photographs will
have that request complied with,
said DIR. Smith. Thus will they
be made to take an added inter
est in the work of the Near East
Relief, and will be constrained
to onterest others.
The first picture will show the
boy or girl in it rags--a little
victim of Turkish oppression
without the wherewithal to pro
tect its body from the scorchini
rays of the midsummer sun OF
from the cutting blasts of thu
approaching winter. The sec
ond will show the same boy o.
girl clothed with the garment
sent by some kindhearted Yves
Virginia donor in the hope O
relieving somewhat the suffer
ings of these little ones in tn
'1and of stalking DEATH.
All clothing should be sent t,

Many West Virginia com
munities are expected to adop
the Pittsburg plan. This plan i
that of dividing the city or com
unity into districts, and estab
fishing receiving station in eacl
district; collecting clothing
from house to house in each dis
trict, sorting and arranging it a
the station, and having depart
ment store or other delivery wa
