the board of directors has just au-
thorized the spending of $5,125.00
for additions to the Martinsburg,
West Virginia telephone exchange
in anticipation OF the purchase of
the Cumberland Valley Telephone
Company. AS soon as the approval

pany. AS the result the Cumberlana
Valley Company's central office VIII

new LAW ALLOWS
W0RKMEN Time TO
VOTE IN PRIMARIES
Entitled To Absent Self From
Work To Vote.

Many persons have not voted in
primary elections on account of the
polls opening after they have gone
to work and closing before their re-
turn home, but this will not occur
again if the voter desires to vote,
regardless Of the opening and clos
ing time Of the polls. A bill passed
at the last session of legislature and
known as House Bill No. 387, intro
duced by Delegate McClintic, Of
Kanawha county, protects the voter
and gives him time to vote at pri
mary elections.
The bill in part reads: ANY per-
son entitled to vote at the primary
or convention shall on the day of
such primary or convention, be en-
titled to absent himself or herself
from any service or employment in
which he or she is then engaged or
employed for a period Of two hours
between the time Of opening and
closing the polls. He or she shall
not be liable to any penalty nor
shall any deductions be made on &C
count of such absence from his or
her usual salary or wages: provid-
ed, however, that application for
such leave Of absence shall be made
prior to day Of primary or conven-
ton.
Whoever, for the purpose of in
f1uencing a voter, seeks by violence
or threats of violence, or threats to
enforce or threaten to eject from
any house he or she may occupy; to
foreclose a lease or to enforce any
contract effecting the tenant or rent
err; except as authorized by law. or
injure the business. trade or calling
Of an elector; or, if any employer of
laborers or any agent of such en-
ployer, threaten to withhold the
wages of, or to dismiss from any
service any laborer in his employ
ment; or to refuse to allow such en-
ployee time to attend the place OF
election and vote, shall be guilty Of
a misdemeanor and may be fined
not more than two hundred dollars
nor less than twenty-five dollars or
confined in the county Jail not more
than three months"

Is our great horde of gold going

Is our great horde Of gold going
to prove curse?
Our school of economists believes
that other countries, in a desperate
attempt to get gold from US tc
brace their surrency systems, will
try to food us with cheap goods.
Other economists think that trade
between nations in the coming de-
cades will go back to the primitive
barter system-say, outright trading
Of perfumes for wheat, with no
money involved. Much foreign
trade is already being done on a
barter basis.
D. R. Crissinger, controller of the
currency, thinks that an interna-
tional money system must be estab-
lished.
One thing is certain There's
plenty of food on earth for all,
plenty of labor to make all needed
necessities of life. Obviously, bust
ness stagnation is financial prob
lena matter Of money.
