weary traveller lay down to rest un- der the shadow of fig tree and went to sleep. In the tree lived a crow and a heron, and the heron had often been warned he would come to 9 bad end if he kept company with an evil crow.
 As the sun shifted the shadow of the tree moved away from the traveller, and he was left exposed to the sun But the heron, seeing this, felt sorry for him and spread out his wings and shaded the weary traveller. The evil crow, however laughed at the heron and then, to annoy the traveller, dropped stone upon his face and flew away.
 When the traveller. smarting from the sting of the stone, jumped up and seized his bow and arrow, he saw only the heron in the tree above, and, thinking that was the culprit who had thrown tho stone, he fitted an arrow to the strinf and fired and killed the heron

SHALL GAS BE RAISED

Robbers who loot and steal at |
the point of gun are evated by
people who have nothing to steal
but thieves who seek to have
their methods legalized by tri-
bunals prey upon all. The gas
company is distributing notices
of proposed raise in rates to
take effect last April ,distribut-
ing these notices in much the
same manner as a Hun would
poison a we'll. They do not even
contribute postage to the U. ).
Government except where absol-
utely necessary. They make the
matter of protest by the consum-
ers next to impossible by asking
them to appear in Charleston on
Dec. Ia. Of course the people
are opposed to this sort of high
| handed hold-up for many rea-
sons founded ON Justice First.
1t is a known fact that this COM
pany is getting more fer gas in
other states than they are in W.
Va. That much of the gas con-
sumed in this state is being dis
tributed thru the same lines and
from the same wells as when the
rate was much cheaper. The
Justice of the Steptoe bill which
/ has been overthrow
is recongnized by the people of
West Va. and the injustice of
piping the products of this state
into other states thus depriving
West Virginia of hundreds of in
dustries & thousands of taxation
and causing a gas shortage
among the citizens ct the state
who deserve the service.
There is no question but that
this increase is made for the
purpose of taking care of the ex-
penditure in putting in better
service for interstate service.
That children have had to shiver
around small blazes and that
cooking could scarcely be done
in this city owing to the curtail-
ment of the gas supply is an I'M
deniable fact. But in spite of
low pressure the bills remain
! the same. The meters seem to
register just as much under low
pressure as they do on k.gh.
Suppose the merchant who sold
you groceries should send you
billsto cover the advances for six
months past? What would you
think? Well that is just what
the Gas company is doing in ask
ing for the increase to cover,
April, May, June, July, August,
Sept. and Oct. and if all their
unjust demands are granted
there is nothing to hinder them
from going back to the in fancy
of the usage of gas and collecting
even from the estates of men
long since dead. Like the tabled
Octopus it's tentacles forever
+ reaching out to destroy. How
long will the people of w. Va.
submit to have their rights tran
spled beneath the unmerciful
feet of these giant corporations
Shall the resources of w. Va be
exploited from the state or shall
,, the citizens Of this common
wealth enjoy them? The citi-
ems of Belington, Junior and
Dartmoor should organize and
send a representative with nerve
before the Public Service Com
mission who has no fear Of being
sandbagged. The time is short,

Teachers Emergency
Examination

There will be an other emer-
gency examination for teachers
held at Philippi Court House,
Nov. 9th inst, Saturday.
No one can be admitted to the
examination who has not attain
ed the age of 18 years by the
first of October last,
or who has ever held an en-
Urgency certificate. Also, app
licants must have schools else no
certificate can be issued.
1t is the duty of the citizens in
any community where there is
no teacher to try to have some
one in that community or else
where to be in attendance at this
examination to try to qualify for
a teacher.
1t is our desire to have tea
cher in our school, and the citi-
zens of the communities without
schools should take some part
in helping to secure teachers as
stated above.
We have received several re-
quests from would-be teachers
and others for certificates, this
examination is given to give
such parties a chance to qualify
for the certificates.
Respectfully,
E. A. HUNT.

HO00 a 'tza&y" skin makes trouble
for the 0OhOLe body

X7OU knowpeople who are forever COM
i planning of the heat in the summer.
You remember others who always
sneeze in the draft-who catch cold easily.
These are the two surest signs of
'1azy" skin and of all the trouble that it
brings. They mean that your skin is not
doing its work-that it is not giving your
body full protection against heat and cold.
Just as our muscles become flabby when
we don't exercise them, so our skin often
grows inactive and loses its vigor. The
tiny muscles of the pores and glands
relax and grow weak. The skin is no
longer able to regulate the heat of the
body.
AS result we not only suffer too much
from the heat and catch cold too easily,
but also, when our skin grows 'lazy" the
vitality of our whole body is lowered.
We get tired out" earlier in the day. In
