The West vfrginian hopes to see that Library
Commission win out in its renewed effort to secure
a public library for the city. Next to a plant TO
supply the city with pure. clean water, there is
nothing so needed as a library. The young people
ought to get behind the commission and give it the
benefit OF a lot of youthful enthusiasm, for the boys
and girls and the young men and women made
more use OF the old library than did their elders.

ID NGSIDE A!!\ED'S ]! NOTES

Some boxers don't realize that the war is over and that the reconstruc- ton period is now under way in earnest for their demands are just as great as ever. Take Mike Morley for example.
 Mike has been rather popular boxer in the past and his popularity was not hurt any by his good showing against Dave Palitz who was handi- capped by a bad cold.
 But the Frog Hollow boxer is like ly to be left out in the cold, fstical1y speaking, if he continues to demand the unheard of sums he is at present asking for his services. Sir Michael wants nothing less than S65o for a return engagement with Dave Palitz.
 Evidently Morley thinks quite a bit of himself as a- boxer. There is mo getting away from the fact that he is a trif1e better than the average but, even in these days of high de- msnds by ring performers-whic hich days are pretty nearly over-Mike is not worth s650 for a ten or a twelve round bout.
 Mor1ey's manager claims that Mike will draw a $2,5O0 house if he meets Palitz again and the Liberty A. C., which has been trying to rematch the pair, offered 20 per cent. of the gross receipts to the Frog Hollow boy. Evidently their conviction of Nor leys ability to draw the crowd was not very firm as the init singer S manager refused to gamble

 LEAVING RUSSIA

Warsaw, Jan. 1-Fifty-fve soldiers and 10 officers of the American ty- phus expedition to Poland left War saw for CoblenZ on the Rhine re- gently in special train of 12 cars, the missions time having expired.
 The Americans came to Warsaw 16 months ago, and worked with the Po- fish health authorities in combating typhus, chiefly along the eastern Frontiers where refugees were flock ing from the interior of Russia un- der the Bolsh evik regime. The Americans worked so near the front lines during the Soviet Russian-Polish war that frequently the relef trains were under shell fire, and in one in stance a soldier was captured by the Bo1sheviki.
 One car of the special train to Co., Blenz was reserved exclusively for 10 Polish women who had married American soldiers and were taken ters of the American Forces in Ger many on their way to the United States.
 The expedition was under the com n1and of Col. Harry L. Gilchrist, of Cleveland, O., who is to remain in Warsaw, by permission of the War Department, as adviser to the Polish government.

 The administration, in preparing 2 ehe packages, made an effort to meet particularly the needs of children, who daily write a large number of letters to the warehouses here and in Hamburg, Dresden and Frankfurt, asking for cocoa, milk and sugar.
 M. F. Murphy of the Relief Admin istration in Berlin said some of these letters Hooked too good to be true' but most of them were genuine. He said they were written from families really in pitiful circumstances and to whom a food package would be the best possible gift. Among many of these families he said white bread is still practically unknown, and sugar and milk, even in prepared form, and in most meager quantities, is a rar- ity.

Romance in Origin
OF Supersddons
By H. IRVING KING.
The Knotted Garter.

Should any young lady be really
curious as to the appearance of the
young man she is destined to marry
let her, before going to bed. take
one of her garters and tieing it in a
knot hang it on the bedpost above
her pillow. As she ties the knot
she should repeat:
This knot l tie, this knot l knit.
To see the young man haven't
seen yit. YETI ,
Then, if the magic works, she will
see her future husband i'll a dream.
This spell ought to work, for the
garter itself is a binding force. ac-
cording to the doctrine of ligatures,
and making a knot in it increased its
power. by introducing the doctrine
of knots. In knotting the garter witt,
the intention expressed in the rhyme
the girl entangles in it that "other
life she longs to meet so strongly
that he comes to her in her dreams.
This magic did not seem magic at
all to primitive man. In his attempt
to "get line on" cause and effect
it appeared to him a quite reasonable
scientific proposition. The doctrine
OF knots is as old as the days of the
sabre tooth bear and as modern as
Nora Perry's poem of the young
lady on a windy day who:
Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.

Do you ever ask yourself why you

Can you give any sensible reason
for it? --
Do you know OF any benefit which
you derive from it?
Do you get any satisfaction out OF
it?
Well, why are you grouchy:
Why not try to smile and be good
natured in the morning?
Why get the household going
wrong because you are cranky?
Get that snarl out of your voice
and that ugly expression from your
face and sit down to your morning
meal with smile.
You perhaps feel bit tired, Bit
sleepy or lame, but there are Others
who may not feel any more comfort
able, SO why make everyone more
disagreeable in feeling because you
cannot be civil in the morning?
You might be surprised at what il
would do for the family if you should
get up and from the star. address
