COMMENT over
west VIRGINIA
STEWARDS NOVEL pLAt.
From the Moroantown Post.

James II. Stewart, of Morgan
town, state commissioner Of aGri-
culture, has advanced a novel
scheme for the disposal of the Is
million dollars in road bonds which
may be sold by West Virginia dur
ing the next two years. Mr.. Stew
art proposes that each automobile
owner and each farm owner in the
state purchase a 800 road bond.
II this were done, the issue would
be greatly oversubscribed, according
to Mr.. Stewart.
There is something about such
scheme which appeals to the i'm
agination, and arouses the interest
OF those persons who would like to
see the good roads program author
! lied by the people last fall when
they voted so million dollars in
bonds get under way as soon as pos
sible. Mr.. Stewards plan at first
glance seems simple and effective.
Certainly, one thinks, any person
who can afford an automobile or own
a farm has sufficient capital to place
| 500 in an investment, which Wal
not only yield percent without tax,
but which will directly benefit him,
The improved roads will greatly en-
hance the value of the farmers lard
and make the automobile owners car
of much greater service to him. Self
interest alone ought to prompt wide
spread and immediate response to an
appeal for bond subscriptions on the
| basis Mr.. Stewart has suggested.
But, it may be doubted whether
everything would work out so
smoothly as this. Many automo-
bile owners are paying for their
cars on the well known installment
plan. Others find the cost Of main
tenance eats deeply into their IN
come. Then, too, there are automo-

PLENTY OF ROOM
Necessary restrictions as to the
membership of certain organizations
works often as a hardship and an
advantage. 1t is very much this way
with such clubs as the Rotary and
the Kiwanis groups Emphasis up
IN numbers would mean a loss Of
unanimity of spirit and action in
all probability, because large groups
inevitably grow unWieldy; but on
the other hand strict limitations as
to size inevitably leaves outside
the fold certain desirable persons.
For this reason there is always
room for both Rotarians and Hi
wanians in cities the size Of Mar
tinsburg and larger,-not only room
but need, The groups, from our in
formation, are very similar in pur-
pose and spirit, very similar in or
ganization, and everywhere else we
have observed that they work to-
gether with entire harmony; and
they will doubtless do that here.
The City may take pride and en-
enlargement from the existence OF
the clubs; they perform very
definite and helpful service in any
community, often in a way which
does not exhibit itself before the
public but is nevertheless sound be

Of the necessaries of life to have this

Something of the same condition
obtains among large number OF
the farm holders Of the state. Many
a farmer has heavy deeds Of trust
against his land, either to pay for
the farm itself or to finance i'm
provements on it. The present de
preston has had its effect on the
farmer more perhaps than on any
other class of workers IL the state.
1t would be a real task for a CON
siderable part Of the farm -ownin :
population to place even the small
sum OF 500 in longtime securt-
ties.
However, there are many thou
sand farm-owners and automobile
owners who could subscribe to the

FIRST FOOTBALL FATALITY
From The Wheeling lntelligercer.

This vicinity has the unhappy
distinction of having been the home
of the first victim of the football
season. A Benwood boy, injured in
a game at Fairmont, died few
hours later.
Each year the football season is
accompanied by a number of deaths
and serious injuries. These deaths
attract much attention because of
the spectacular manner in which
they occur. In proportion to the
number engaged in the game. the
number of fatalities and serious in
juries is very small In a number
of cases those killed Or injured are
boys who should not have been per-
mitted to play.
Football is essentially rough
game, and none but youths in per
feet physical condition should ever
be allowed on team. For those
who are not entirely rugged there
are many other equally beneficial
sports that do not hold the menace
to life.

. PRODUCTION OF soft coal during the
first 213 working days of the past
five years, the period over which
records Of weekly output extend. has
been as follows: 1917, 3so,235, 900;
1913, 40S,00s.00o; 1920, 3s5.oS1. 900:

mated at 100000 net tons, as
against 100000 tons In the week
preceding. The decrease was almost
entirely caused by the Labor Day.
holiday, for the average production
of the five working days was prac-
tically the same as the daily average
OF the week before.
The cumulative production from
January 1 to August 81, is estimated
at 100000 net tons, much ahead
Of 1913 and ahead of the pre-war
years, 1914 to 1915. In comparison
with 1920 the year 1921 was SOC. 200
tons behind on August 81, but 1t has
since more than made up the diff
ference, for in September, 1920, pro.
duction was curtailed by a twenty
day strike. AS on September 10, the
comparison stood about as follows:
1920 cumulative, 81, 300, 900 net tons;
1921 cumulative. 62.l00, 900 net tons.
1t Is a familiar fact that from so to
60 per cent of the rated capacity
