Sunday School Rally.

The first rally to be held in Jeffer-
son county for the Young Peoples
Division of the Sunday Schools came
TO a successful close last Thursday
night, when IS young lea ers in Sun
day school work, representing the
schools north of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, gathered about the festal
board in the old college hall. where a
delightful menu had been prepared by
the Woman's Club of Shepnerd5town.
The day had been replete with fine
things presented to the young folks
by Mr.. w. II. Hill and his wife in a
series of addresses in the Lutheran
Church. The affair was under the
auspices of the Jefferson County Sun
day School Association, and was man.
aged by the superintendent of the
Y. p. Division, Miss Edith Donley. In
her work she was supported by all the
local officers of the association.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hill presented
the fine things which may be worked
out in the Sunday school through the
organized class, and if the interest in
this phase of the work does not in
crease il is not the fault of the State
Superintendent.
At the banquet the social side of
Sunday school work was emphasized
to high degree. The several de-
nominations were seated n tables,
during the evening each school WED
with each other in presenting features
for the entertainment of the guests.
Songs. toasts, impromptu poems, yells,
were being staged at all times, and
| there was not single dull moment.
To close the event a number Of
short addresses were made by those
seated at the table reserved for the Of
ficers and visitors. ]. z. Poland. pres
ident of the Berkeley County Associa-

Miss Anna Keim, of Elkins, who has
been a student there, and by Mrs
Hill, who is a camp leader. Jefferson
has never had a representative there
but one is due this year. Who will be
the one? Superintendent Hill closed
the evening with an appeal for tine

will be remembered by all present as
masterful address. The county

The Martinsburg Journal of Satur-

eide Of Albert Blaine Jack, aged Sc
years, member of well-known Berke-
ley county family, who took his own

sister, and Mrs. Whitmore. seated in
an clubhouse at the Whitmore place.
with the muzzle of shotgun resting
against his left breast and the barrel
retained in position by the crook of his
left arm. There was no evidence of
blood, and the women who first dis
covered him thought perhaps he was
asleep. However. Jack had threatened
to Kill himself, and Mrs. Bane, who
had been called by Mrs. Whitmore. re-
moved the gun and hid it, under the
impression that her brother was still
alive, and fearing if he were alive
he would carry out his purpose. He
was found by them soon after 3 o'clock
and was officially pronounced dead bv
Deputy Sheriff Jack about s O'Clock

OPPORTUNITY KEEPS KNOCKING

That old saw about opportunity
knocking but once gets our goat.
Opportunity is the busiest little cuss
we ever saw and If the average per-
son would just give II chance to
show what it could do. we all would
be making a good living.
Opportunity is the best little
knocker in the world. It's knocking
all the time. Even when you are
about half asleep, something comes
to your mind. which, If it was car
ried out would mean success. That
was opportunity knocking
Any human being can take advan-
tage of opportunity The only thing
that cannot take that advantage is
something without life AS an illus
tration: If the statue of Liberty had
been a real woman she'd have had
more lovers than a French soldier
had coolies. She had the opportu-
nifty but she couldn't take advantage.
We love the statue of Liberty but
rather be our own sweet self than to
be the statue OF Liberty-and we
don't want to feel that you are on that
order and cannot take advantage of
the opportunity which is being given
you right now.

TESTIMONY OF
MIR. PAGE

We have always known that the
diplomatic service of the United States
was thoroughly demoralized, but the
extent of the decentralization has not
been known until the present publ
cation of the letters of Walter H.
Page, former ambassador to Great
Britain. In one of his letters to Col.
House, Mr.. Page said concerning his
communications:
What the devil do you suppose
does become of the letters and tele-
grams that l send, from which l
have never had word? AS matter
of curiosity l should like to know
who receives them and what he does
with them"
Mr.. Pages curiosity concerning
operations were shared by lot of
people throughout the United States.
People wonder who got their letters
and what they did with them. Publ
cation of Mr.. Pages old letters will
serve a number of useful purposes.

STARTLING
FACT

Doubtless you have read more or
the world upon the stupendous
amount Germany has been called
upon to pay to the allies as indemnity
for the damage she did in the war.
Statesmen and writer's of every ma
ton. including our own, have repeat
eddy expressed the opinion that 1t
will be impossible for Germany to
ever pay such a staggering amount,
and many of us are inclined to think
that way about it also.
But did you ever know that while
Germany is paying that thirty-three
billions of dollars the bill of the United
States people in taxation for arma-
ment alone will be equally as much
Well, such is the fact. At the present
rate the German reparation expen-
ditures are actually less than the
American armament expenditures.
Germany is sweating her reparation
payments out of her labor. and that
in a way is what the United States
is doing, for the general demand for
the liquidation of labor is due to the
heavy taxation that our government
is exacting from industry. Until this
terrible armament leak is stopped
there can be no relief for the over
burdened taxpayer.
Nothing could be more absurd than
that America should be paying out
$900.000.000 a year on preparations
for future wars. The penalty of We
the victors, is exceeding the penalties
of the defeated. Every one of us in
this country are now worse slaves to
our mllitarfsts and munition makers
than the German people are to the
taxation that they are required to
pay because they were fools enough
to do what We are now spending bill
lions preparing to do.
