B. H. s. Strikes

The first real strike staged in
this city occurred Wednesday
morning when the entire High
School body of students number
ing over 100 refused to take up
their books and came out on a
parade.
1t seems that the Board of Ed
ucation had agreed to weeks
Holidays which has been time
honored custom in our city
schools. Later thru some I'M
known influence the Board re-
scinded this ruling and refused
to grant the Holidays. The
student body then produced a
petition signed una
minously by the students; this
petition was ridiculed and ignor:-
ed by the Boadr as was a later
petition. 1t was then that the
students got busy and decided
upon a strike" The striking
students marched to the grade
building on the West Side, but
were locked out by Principal j.
M. McVicker, and rumor reports
that police protection was called
for, The strikers carried un-
ique banner bearing the words,
I'VE want Board that won't
Bend" with the picture of a
plank badly bent upon the can
vas. The town was placarded
signs, Give us Holidays or give
us DEATH. Sympathy seems
very stong in favor of the stud
ent body who cannot be blamed
for wanting the weeks holidays
1t is custom too well esta-
blished to be disregarded. Crab
bed age cannot cope with the hot

rights are just as sacred and de-
serve the same respect as the

the "boys and girsl of today for
they will be the men and women

our American boys and girsl to
be coerced, brow-beaten and for

THE CEMENT BRICK
PLANT UNDER WAY
LOCAL MEN PUSHING TIT
PROJECT NEW STYLE OF
BRICK, NEW MACHINERY

AS the direct result of a COM
raunity advertising Belington,
Barbour county is to have one of
the largest plants for the manu-
facture of concrete brick, a new
commodity on the building mar
ket, in the United States.
A committee composing of
three Belington business mem
John r. Ice real estate dealer |;
G. E. Cain, proprietor of one of
the most modern automobile gar
ages in this section, and j. L.
Ramsey, best known farmer in
this region, returned home from
Seottdale, Pa, where they in
spected the original Better
Brick company plant. They an
Hounced that the report to
the company they represent, will
be a favorable one and that plans
FOR the construction of the COM
pany will be taken up immediat-
ely.
The company is a Belington
one with an equal share of
Clarksburg capital. 1t was
formed on the suggestion of the
inventor of the machine which
makes possible concrete bricks,
who was attracted to Belington
by the progressive spirit shown
in the community advertise
ment appearing in the Fair mont
Times.
Realizing the Importance of
the project, both Clarksburg and
Belington offered free sites to
the proposed plant, but the avail
ability of selica sand and Stag at
Belington proved the last straw
in its favor and the company
heads agreed with the inventor
that the Barbour county town
was the logical location for the
plant.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES
SUGGESTIONS FOR RURAL LIFE

President Wilson, in his mes
sage of congress-, once more de-
clared that he wished to emphas-
ize the need of action ITO make
rural life more attractive and
healthful."
There is but one way to make
rural life more attractive and
that is to permit the farmers to
get hold of enough money to feel
that they can afford to spend
dollar.
Sufficient profits from their
work to enjoy decent living con-
ditions is the only thing that is
necessary to make farm life
more attractive and there is lit
tie doubt but that making farm
life attractive would also make
it healthful.
The people on the farms are
going without baths just because
they spurn good health. The rea-
son they don't have bathroom
is because it costs $500. to tack
one of the things on to the farm
house and a great deal more to
connect up water. The farmers
don't know just where to lay
hands on this money.
1t is quite useless to tell farm
er that he can put in a lighting
system for $500 if he is scrapp-
ing right ard left to get enough
money to pay his taxes. Talk
ing improvements is simply ir-
ratating to men who are engag-
ed in a terrific struggle to stave
off bankruptcy. Give the farm
ers a fair share of the money
and you can depend upon them
to make rural life attractive and
unless jumping around to pic
ture shows at nearby towns in
an auto results in the country
man losing his life, it is possible
that with a fair share of money
the farmer will be more health
full.

Johnson Calls Self
Convention Casualty
lRy Associated Pressl

Cincinnati-Senator Hiram W. John
son of California, addressing New
port (Kentucky) audience last night,
described himself as mot a member
of the senatorial oligarchy, but only a
casualty of the last Republican party
convention" The senator declared he
resented any charge of ambiguity
against Senator Harding because of
his stand on the question of League
of Nations. He said Senator Harding's
views on the league were made in
creasingly plain as days of the cam
paign passed and added: "The Demo
cratic candidate says that if he is
elected the United States will join the
League of Nations ;the Republican
candidate says: "If l am elected we
will not have anything to do with the
League of Nations" For that reason,
Senator Harding is entitled to the vote
of every red-blooded American"

This Is the Real
Friendship Test
Eat, Drink and Be Merry, Fight and
Make Up, for Tomorrow
We May Die.

Joe Siron, 101 Newell street, and
Bert Kosowicz, same address, and both
Russians, were friends last Saturday
evening and were having grand and
glorious" time. They were eating and
drinking, presumably moonshine, be-
cause it sure had kick, and got just
a trifle under the weather. The best
of friends must part and even the
most intimate of pals will have their
differences-and Siron and Kosowicz
were no exception to the rule.
Siron didn't like the way Kosowicz
ate his goulash or tied b'9 tie, or some
thing, because he let Kosowicz have
an awful clip to the side of the head
Kosowicz returned the friendly blow
and punched Siron in the eye. This
set the band to playing and by the
time the police arrived the two could
not see each other. Four eyes were
unnaturally black and swollen.
They were arrested and ordered to
report to the municipal court this
morning. Their blindness having
come over them suddenly they were
unprepared and did not have the cane
or wherewithal to report and the two
now the best Of pals, and sober, sent
their landlady down to act as their
mediator with the law. She paid their
fines, $500 and costs each, and stated
that both were good boys.

Jap Relations with
Venezuela Fixed up
Venezuelan Diplomatic Envoy Goes to
Toxic to Establish Diplomatic
Relations With Mikado.
(By Associated Press)

Tokio.-Diplomatic relations between
the republic of Venezuela and the en-
pire of Japan may be established in
the very near future, if the mission of
H. Perez Dupuy, envoy extraordinary
from Venezuela to Toxic, is successful.
Mr.. Dupuy has for several years past
been negotiating with the Japanese
foreign Office to that end and feels sure
of the ultimate success of his mission.
Venezuela seeks more customers for
her products" said Mr.. Dupuy. "Her
bankers and business men realize that
more customers will make sounder
business. Her products, iron, gold, cop
per, tobacco, long fiber cotton, sugar,
cocoa, coffee, oil and frozen meats, will
doubtless some Of them be saleable in
Japan, and in return, Venezuela can
buy rice, wheat, toys, porcelains and
other goods from this country" The
newly subsidized steamship lines which
Japan is today promoting to improve
and encourage Japanese shipping prob
ably will call at La Guavia, the prin-
cipal seaport of Venezuela.

Paris Talks About
MacSwiney's Strike
Previous Record Was Held by French
man Who Lived for Sixty-three
Days Before Dying.

. Parls-The long hunger strike of
Mayor MacSwiney of Cork has caused
much discussion here as to how long
it is possible for a man to fast DR..
Socquet has told the Paris Midi that
the record is sixty-three days without
food set by William Granier in 1881.
"Grainer had been sentenced to
death and was confined in the prison
Of Toulouse" said DR.. Socquet. "He
had a horror of the guillotine and to
save himself from death by that in
strument determined to starve which
he did after sixty-three days.
MANY hunger strikers have lived
longer than could have been expected"
he went on. "There are the cases of
Tanner, Succi and Merlatti, the latter
of whom starved for forty-eight days
while he lost one quarter of his
weight. Taylor tells of the case of q
worker who was imprisoned in a mine
for sixty days without food. He lived
three days after his rescue and died
as a result of being excessively fed.
Many lunatics have refused to take
food for twenty-thirty, or even forty
days.
"No rule can be established as to
length of time a man can fast. His
endurance will depend upon his previ-
Gus health, his constitution and also
upon his spiritual condition which is
very important. It is we'll known that
a starving man may increase his en-
durance great deal by drinking
water"

Gamblers Watch
the Straw Votes

Milwaukee-Few wagers of note
have thus far been made here on the
coming national election in November.
Professional gamblers are quietly
watching the results of straw ballots
and other indications before placing
their bets. Most of the wagers so
far have been made at the prevailing
odds of six to one on Harding and
Coolidge, but it is stated that there
are few Cox takers even at these odds.
No wagers of Importance have so far
been booked at Morgenroth's.
Things are still pretty quiet" said
an old timer, "but no doubt many large
wagers will be made between now and
November 2. The results of straw
votes appearing in the newspapers
would seem to indicate a large ma
jority for the Harding Coolidge ticket
and the odds now prevailing are about
six to one in favor of the Republi-
cans. Although more money is APP
pearing constantly for the G. 0. P at
about these figures, there is little
or no Cox backing even at these large
odds"
Many professionals are of the opin-
ion that as the date of the election
draws nearer, even larger odds will
be asked by the hackers of the Demo
cratic nominees.
Betting odds all over are governed
largely by those offered on the Broad
street curb in New York.
