NAVY DAY

Friday, October 9th, 1912, has
been designated Navy Day. This at
the suggestion Of the Navy League
of the United States approved by the
Navy Department.
The Navy rendered vital service to
the nation and to humanity during
the World War. No great fleet act
ion was fought to give spectacular
emphasis to its vital contribution to
the vistory. But the convoy, the
anti-submarine patrol, the mine bar
rage were essential factors in the
winning of the war and the saving
of civilization. So it has been in
every crisis of our history the
Navy has not failed. In the Revol-
ution, the War of 1912, the Civil War.
the Spanish-American War, victory
without the Navy would have been
virtually impossible. Today our peace
and prosperity are safeguarded by the
Navy. 1t is an agent to stability in a
troubled world. 1t carries no threat,
but it leads authority to Americas
voice, speaking for altruism, justice
and law.

REPORT OF FIRST MONTH OF
THE BELfNGTON SCHOOLS

Graded School, number enrolled:
boys lat, girls 148. Average attend
ance boys 1872, girls 1872.
Junior High School, number enroll
ed: boys SO, girls rs: Average at
tendance, boys 49, girls II.
Senior High School, number en-
rolled boys Sc, girls "a. Average at
tenance boys SO, girls 30.
The above figures show that 81
boys and 20 girls who are enrolled in
school have been out every day of the
first months. 43 pupils in all. This
is almost nine percent of the entire
enrolment. This is matter that
deserves the Thoughtful attention of
every good citizen. In difference is
one of the greatest sins of the age.
Taxpayer, it is your business whether
your neighbours children go to school,
no matter what he thinks about it.
If we could educate all the children
of all the people, even in Belington
this town would be better place in
which to live.
Much of this lack of attendance is
due to carelessness on the part of
parents and guardians. Children are
permitted stay out Of school for very
slight cause or for no reason at all.
West Virginia has large number of
illiterates and Belington has more
than her proportion. If you want to
help make Belington better town
help to make school attendance pop
ular and loafing unpopular.
Teachers alone can not make
school. 1t takes community cooper
alton to achieve the best results.
All you good citizens take a little
time to boost our school and to con-
vince your careless neighbor that he
is robbing his child Of his birthright
when che permits him to stay out Of
school.
Yours for better schools.

MILLION POUNDS TO
HELP UNEMPLOYED
House of Commons Agrees on This
Amount After Lengthy Session
Much Bitterness

London, Dec, 13. (By Associated
Press)-A supplementary estimate for
one million pounds sterling for the
relief of unemployment was agreed
to by the house of commons early to-
day toward the close of 16 hour
session prolonged by the tactics of
the labor party
The laborites had agreed yesterday
to try to keep the house in session
until it is prorogued Friday night, in
an effort to force the government to
take further steps toward the allevia-,
ton of unemployment. Members of
the party endeavored to get the issue
discussed at every available oppor-
tunity during the session but a mo-
ton for closure made by Stanley
Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer,
at about $50 o'clock this morning
was carried by substantial MAJOR
ity.
The motion was hailed with cries
of shame" gag" and Scandal
while epithets of more personal
character were hurled at the occu-
pants of the treasury bench.
The session which adjourned at
$3.50 o'clock was tinged with humor
and bitterness.
rs this new game of patience we
are learning?" asked labor member
of the speaker in the early morning
hours.
mo, it's quite an old game" re-
piled the speaker with a laugh.

His trip today included visits to the
Globe Clothing House, the Alling Rub
Der Co., Besse- Leland's and the Fair
Department store.
1t will be recalled that the Herald"
early in the pursuit, said. that the
"Masquerader" was CARRIED in a soft
hat and an overcoat when the pictures
were taken, but the fact was also en-
phasized that. he might not wear the
same clothes all during the hunt. For
that reason the Herald" published a
front view and profile of his face, but
the public failed to take the hint.
