 WEST VIRGINIA

Huntington. w. Va, Nov. S. "Soft" and "clinging" will be deleted from the vocabularies of West Vir- ginia's young womanhood under an edict of the State Department of Edu-
 Prudence and modesty henceforth must be the watchwords-
 Banned are the soft, ,clinging, form
 Short skirts, which start with the ring of pink above. the rolled stock tngs. must come down. while the stockings must go up to where our grandmothers wore them.
 Moonlight tete-a-tetes, where low ing arms are where loving arms ecstasies of delight, are relegated to the land of might-have-been.
 Or, briefly, everything with kick is thrown into the discard, and a new deal, with plain and simple dresses, cotton hose, rougeless cheeks, chap erons and a slangless language as trumps, is called.
 Recently the girls at Point Pleasant High School, under the direction of Miss Hannah Hood. graduate of Boucher College, adopted a new code of morals, including some Of the ideals which the girls will strive to at tain" The code-an blue-was ap- proved aand adopted by the State De- partment of Education.

'0BSCURITYV OF NEW YORK IS
 GOOD ENOUGH

New York. Nov. s.-New York is big; New York is cosmopoIitan-it is even friendly. But New York is also the crucible into which the great dwindled into insignificance. The Tame of Napoleon himself could not survive other and more immediate questions in this great city.
 All this is preliminary to the story Of C. N Haskell, Oklahoma's first governor. big political gun in that state and national igure-until he came to New York. Haskell went back to Oklahoma last month on his first visit in five years. The newspapers there got out special welcome edi- tions. and the welkin rang from Altus to Miami and from Guymon to Hugo-considerab1y territory.
 In New York Haskell is chairman of fhe board of the Middle States Oil Co. When he made up his mind to visit Oklahoma the only ones to miss him were his stenographer, his office boy and the office doorman. Outside of these and a few friends, no one knew he had ever been in New York. to say nothing of his leaving it. Out side of his business and social orbit, the tax collector is the only individual who has evinced any special interest in him.
 Wrote Denver Platform"
 In Oklahoma the name of "C. N was household word. President Roosevelt thundered at him and newspapers exposed him He wrote the Denver platform of Democracy and was the party's national treas urer.
 In New York he has made just as much of a success in business as he :. did in Oklahoma politics. As an Okla homan his name and face were once familiar to New York, As a New Yorker-well, he still is remembered in Oklahoma.
 When he made this last trip to the state he was first to rule he spoke at the State Fair, and everyone hustled to McIlester and listened to him. Publicly they cheered. but privately they asked eacn other what he was ''up to- They speculated as to whether he was about to return to Oklahoma politics and give Cherokee Bob Owen another run for the Senate, or was this to be the opening gun of a national campaign? But he fooled them all. He spoke of national extrav- agance and the direct election of Federal judges. They went away still cheering and still puzzled, and he came back to the Madison avenue of ffces of the Middle States Oil Co.
 s-Then you are not gong back into politicS?" he was asked.
 "Hell, noi" was his vigorous reply. ssrm going to keep right on working six days a week, going to ball games and enjoying myself in my leisure hourS.''
 s.But how do you like the obscurity of New York life after all the popu- larity you have enjoyed?" was the next question.
 CT like it fine. I'm entirely satis- fled to be a little toad in a big puddle. It has its advantages"

HOPE FOR PUBLISHERS
IN FORESTS OF ALASKA

Washington, Dec. 20-(CapitaI
News Service) 1.-The Department OF
Agriculture, in the annual report OF
the Secretary, carries an interesting
story relative to paper making in Al
aska, one which doubtless will ap-
peal particularly to the newspaper
publishers of the country. On this
subject the report says, in part.
Worthy OF special mention is the
progress which has been made in call
ing the attention of capitalists and
newsprint manufacturers to the splen-
did opportunities Offered by the two
great national forests in Alaska for
the establishment of an important in
dustry in that region The Tongass
National Forest. situated in the south
eastern part OF the territory, has a
stand OF not less than 70OO0OOOO 900
feet OF timber within its area of abb
out 100000 acres.
1T is estimated that under plans
now worked out the two national for
ests in Alaska can furnish perpetually
2,OoOOo0 cords of pulpwood annually,
TO an equivalent OF one
third OF our present consumption. The
problems of forest administration in
Alaska are inseparabiy linked with
similar problems encountered in the

Meeting of Taxing Officials
From Nearly All Counties
With State Tax COmmis-

Present Taxes.

The livestock industry in New Mex

n substantial tax reductions, was the
gist of testimony given under oath by
A number of livestock men with ex-
iensive holdings, at the annual con-
ference OF city and county tax Of
ficials with the state tax commission.
The sessions OF the conference were
ield here, lasting from Monday un-
il Wedne sday afternoon.
Reduction Not Accepted
The net result was that the asso-
citation of county assessors agreed
upon and authorized a uniform scale
IF valuations that is in effect a re-
duction of 800 from the valuations
for this year. The livestock repre-
sentatives were asking for a 40eo re-
duction. as absolutely necessary to
save the industry from destruction.
The livestock men are far from sat-
isfied with the reductions authorized,
and strongly intimate that they will
carry their case into the courts. Their
contention is that they are, and have
been, paying on a 1000 return,

much smaller percentage. The uni
form scale agreed upon and authoriz-
ed by the assessors is printed else
where in this issue.
Uniform Scale Needed
Call for the conference was issued
by the tax commission for the reason
that the revenue code, as revised by
the last session of the legislature made
sweeping changes, especially in shift
ing duties of assessing from the state
tax commission to the county asses
sors. Under these circumstances, the
commission held it to be necessary
for the tax officials to get together
and have a definite understanding of
the new duties and responsibilities.
Position of the commission is given
in a paper carefully prepared by J..
E. SAINT, chief commissioner. and which
is printed elsewhere in this issue
