think the club records compare with
that? Guess before you read on.
Club members in the pig-feedine
club (prOducing pork) made their pigs
gain 1.19 pounds, while those raising
gifts to breed put 1.l2 pounds per day
on their pigs. That was a good dem
onstration that good pigs, properly
fed and cared for, will do much bet
ter than common stock with ordinary
care. 1t pays, too. for the better re-.
suits can be obtained on the same
amount Of feed.
Robert Webster of the Huntersville
Pig-Feeding club, Lycoming county, is
the state pig-club champion as far as
gain per day is concerned. Robert
fed purebred Poland China pig.
which gained 2.43 pounds per day.
That pig surely did make a hog out
of himself, didn't he?

She was just telephone girl.
 But it was her alert and prompt ac- tion that led to the capture of the Los A ngeles abductors- and the restoration of' Mrs. WithereA to her family.
 The details of the famous kidnaping ease had been printed in the Los An geles papers. The telephone operator was newspaper reader. She knew what was going on in Los Angeles and the world.
 The call came through the central telephone from the kidnaper to the usband. The young lady snatched a few words from the conversation rela- Ii 5eAto ransom money. She telephoned the location of the abductor to the po- lice, and when he stepped. from the booth he was awaited by squad of eteeti7es. A few hours latep he and his confederate were in jail; the res clfeo wife and mother was in her own home.
 The police had not solved the kid naping case. But the facts were not suppressed, and through their pubiica- tion the residents Of Los Angeles in- clhding a bright telephone operator, were made an auxiliary to the police department.
 And there is another lesson in the Witherefl case. Those who read, ,sthose who. follow the course Of events, are in position to rende invaluable service to ? community and to it's people. .-Ex.

TWO PARAGRAPHS FROM STATE
HISTORY,

From the Wheeling InteIligencer.i
On the 18th day of last August
the West Virginia Republican state
convention was held in the city OF
Wheeling. In addition to the max,
ing of nominations. a Republican
party platform was adopted in
which certain things were pledged
to the people in the event of Re.
publican success at the polls.
Included in this platform was the
following plank:
IN a republic the enforcement
of laws made by the people should
and must always be in the hands Of
public servants elected by the pee
pie. We deplore the abuses that
have grown Up under the so-called
private guard or detective systems
in this state. and we pledge the
Republican legislature to enact
laws that will correct these abuses
and at the same time maintain and
protect all property and personal
rights
When this plank was proposed
Ephraim r Morgan, then the can,
didate of the Republican party for
governor, sat on the platform ard
was observed to applaud vocifer
ously. Others on that Platform who
took part in the applause included
most of the men who are now mem.
beers of the state administration.
The plank itself was adopted en-
Enthusiastically and unanimously.
This is ore interesting bit OF
state history Here is another
While the West Virginia state leg
islature was in session recently. a
bill was introduced to carry out the
niedya of the party to the people
by abolishing the mine guard sys-
tom. The judiciary committee Of
the state senate reported that bill
faFerably. What haDoaned then IS
told in the words OF Senator Jesse
Ploeh in a recent interview, as fol,
lows:
"Tha bill was brought out on the
floor of the senate, where it remain.
ed on the calendar Tor few DAYS.
1t could not have been defeated from
the floor OF either house. but the
coal interests were against its pas
sage. They feared the loss OF their
political control in the counties
where the mine guard system is
most flagrantiy in force. and accord
ingly brought pressure to bear upon
the governor He in turn passed It
on to his chief advisers and sup
r0Ytcrs in the senate and succeeded
in having the bill taken back to
the committee room under pretense
that an amendment was to be Of
fered. The mine guard bill died
there. II was tabled in tEe com

ALUMNI ACTIVITIES

In the preparatory and college
helds one of the most striking
phenomena in all the wide range of
FORCES which play in those fields is
the loyalty of the alumni Of the
school, expressed both in the form
OF attendance upon alumni gather
lngs and in giving OF their time
money and advice to projects which
look towards the promotion OF their
anna matters interests. This same
hdellty of their school is shown in
hlgh school fields in restricted
degree, due, We suppose partly to
the tact that there are so many 9th
ef interests claiming the attention
of the men and women that they
neglect the earlier ties; but it may
be said that this spirit OF interest
IN nigh school affairs has effected
very remarkable results where it
mas been definitely assorted the sus-
tanned. 1t is so in the Martinsburg
High School. One OF The Influences
which has helped build up a love
Tor the school, school whose
building has passed through various
3N'ittNAiS tt4u sun rat libIlo DuL
whose identity has never been
clonded,--has been he interest
shown in its welfare by the alumni
OF the school who for years have
found time to go back annually at
Commencement and renew old &C.
quaintances, sing fer their school,
6oelallze for few hours and i'm
5ibe some of the inspiration which
comes inevitably from seeing the
ranks OF the alumni recruited by
additions OF thirty and forty young
students; and, on the diverse side.
there is the inspiration which the
new alumni get from seeing the
older alumni come back by the
hundreds to pay their respects to
their alma mater. It IS altogether
happy idea, firmly founded now in
the practice of hundreds OF thou
sands who make an effort to re.
turn to their schools every year,
and p tradition which is yielding
fine results for the schools.

COMMENT over
west VIRGINIA
THE MYTHICAL WOLF AND
ALSO THE REAL WOLF.
From the Charleston Mail.)


Senator Elkins has again urged
the public that consumes coal to
begin their purchase now, but it
may be breath wasted The public
in so many things within the last
year has heard the cry of wolf"
that it begins to suspect an Interior
motive the moment someone says
buy"
Gentlemen in many lines of bust
ness ever since the year begun have
preached to us the saving merit Of
buying to avoid the higher prices
which they were sure were coming.
This was the case with sugar. 1t
was bound to go up. Even some
of our retailers here at one time
seemed to have been fooled by this
false alarm. for they anticipated the
hvpothetical rise whicn never came.
Now for the first sc sugar is at
its lowest when 50 If as most of
us can rcmemhcr. it has always
been at its highest.
Those who predicted that sugar
would go higher were not prophets
at all Some persons may have
been stampeded into buying in
bulk; but. if they did they merely
removed themselves from the ranks
OF the current buyers decreased
their number, lessened buying COM
petition and thus forced a lower
price for the enormous quantities
of sugar on hand, coming in and
to come in.
One can not always tell how
things will work out.
But the coal situation is differ
