AN ENTERPRISE.

Inc men WhO conceived ihv idea
and lir>t started the ice cream buSi-
ness III l.cwiSburg had vision and
they are now rewarded with an
established and paying buSinC -.
Not only has Tie LcwiSburg Ice
Cream Company an ideal pl"ut in
tcwiSburg but it has Il branch
house at MabScoll. RalcisI County.
1T has an cver-incrcaSin@ and grow
ing business. An undertaking. Of
this Kind. not only is source OF
profit to those who have invested
IN the enterprise, but it furnishes Il
handsome income TO the farmers
who furnish the supply of crcalu
Out OF wflich the ice cream is made.
lhoSe who were successful in pro-
motinG and establishing this enter
prise deserve credit for it. 1t is a
thing which fits into the poSsibili-
lies Of the community and it fur
nlshes a product for the market fo~
which there is i demand elsewhere
Vt Us phase of cooperation. Conn
merce after all is nothing more than
making something in one co1nmuni-
ty, where it is possible for it to be
made and transporting that some
thing to another community where
1T is needed and where there is a
demand for it. The business of the
Lcw!SburH Ice C,cam Company is
only one inslav'.' e what may be
done in tie Grc~~br:"r Valley.
There are cher prucctS which
may be undertaken and madc as
successful as The ice cream busi-
ness. Net in competition to it but
along other lines. The distance ice
cream may be shipped by reason Of
lis very nature is limited. Blu, there
are oiiihr products of Grccrbricr
VALLEY which can be put in form
that may be shipped an unlimited
distance and for which there is Il
more stable demand than there is
for ice cream: and which would
give work and income to more Deo-
pie Did YOU ever t,link when VISIT
ing city or an industrial commune
ty, where farm products are not
raised, where these people gel their
food supply? Did YOU ever think
how farming community could be
made community Of intense indus
try in producing and preparing its
products for the market to supply
the people in these sections? Any
farming community may double
many fold its income by careful
study and intelligent action. There
is great future for Greenbrier Val
ley if we lay hold Of the opportuni-
hes presenting themselves.

SUICIDES.

The Savc-a-Lifc League makes the
announcement that rs many as 2O,-
600 killed themselves in the United
States during The year 1921.
All classes OF society are included
in this list. The number Of suicides
is confined to no particular class.
One striking feature is the fact that
%5S children took their lives within
The year 1921. Among I've number
who ended their career here on
earth are: 10 cGitCrS, 10 students.
81 school teachers, - Clcr9ymcn.
81 brokers - judges and lawyers,
81 physicians I mayors. %S hcad> Of
large corporations, rs miIl!onairca.
80 wealthy women and 93 bankers.
including 81 banl presidents. The
oldest suicide was 100 years o!d
and the youngest five years.
There can be but one reason given
for these 10000 people ending their
lives and that is a wrong mental adj
justment. Whatever rcmorSc they
may have had over some rash act or
failure, either on their own part or
on the part OF sCmc one else, 1t at
last resolves itself into the outcome
of mental attitude. There is only
one cure and that is Il hearty co.
operation on the part of all for tho
very best attainments Of all-thc
highest ideals of human progress
rendered practical. When this is
made the end Of life and all things
else the means, the remedy shall
have been reaccd.

ENTERS HOUSE OF LORDS.

NiScountcSS Rhondda. the first wo-
man 10 make application. and under
iht new laws Of England has been
declared clisabIe to sit us Il mem
Der OF the House of Lords. When
the formal invitation, according to
! lee fashion Of that body, is extend
ed her by the House of Lords, she
will no doubt take her seat. 1t is
said that there arc eight other ladies
OF England entitled to be members
OF this ancient but now dcfunct law
making body. Custom Or habit has
tremendous force or influence.
The House Of Commons of Eng
land is absolute as law making
body. If the House of Lords does
not agree to a measure passed by
the House of Commons, it, the
House of Commons, merely passes 5
the measure 4 second time and it
becomes law. The King has a
veto but the veto has not been used
In England for more than three
hundred years. When Parliament
passes a measure, it is the law.
There are no constitutional decis-
ion by courts in England. Each act
Of Parliament is as supreme as the
Constitution Of England.
The Prime Minister, at the pres
ent time Lloyd George, is the work
ing head Of the Government. When
ever the Prime Minister and the ma
jority Of the House Of Commons fail
to agree. he resigns, Parliament is
dissolved and an election is held. If
the vote of TIC people sustains the
Prime Minister, he remains at the
head of the governments; if il does
not there is Il new cabinet formed
and usually Tie leader of the oppo-
Sit:on to The Prime Minister i'm the
House OF Commons becomes the
new Prime Minister.
England seems to be getting ripc
fCr move Of This kind.
|. 1t is interesting to know Just how
long England may retain ncr de
funct King and House Of Lords. The
iEristocracy of England is becoming
more considcratc and more Demo
cratic as time passes. This was
shown i'll the recent marriage of
Princess Mary, the Kings daughter.
King George, mt his own instance.
invited the Ihcads of the labor organ
lZatlons as guests at the marriage.
Ibis was merely 4 recognition of
all classes of England in this event.
England is to-day the most re-
sponsibe government to the will of
the people and some say it is THE
imost Democratic, Notwithstanding
she still has King and the old de-
funct House of Lords.

NUMBER 3e
BACK FIRING.

There seems to be Il considerable
amount OF contention about the GOV
crnm"nt railroad administration
during The war.
BY almost unanimous vote OF
Congress by both Republican and
Democratic members. Congress de-
clared war in the spring Of 1917.
The railroads being the medium OF
transportation in this county. il was
necessary that they be called on To-
ald III hc preparation to enter the
war. When these demands were
made, the competitive managmcnts
OF railroads threw up their hand,
and openly announced that they
could OF do the hauling. This fore
cd the government TO take over the
roads. This taking over merely
amounted to combining systems and
open through lines that supplies
could be transported without delay
from one section of the country to
another. that the preparations fu
war might be pushed forward.
Other than this, the various lines
OF railroad were left in the hands of
those who had been running them.
everybody was supposed to be pat
rlotlc and to be working for one
end-to get ready, win the war and
nave 1t over. 1t was not until ii
was found that the management of
the roads were heaping up ex-
penSeS IN various ways that any
changes were made in the MANAGE
mcnt OF the roads at all. MANY were
removed for the sole purpose of re-
duclng operating expenses. After
these fellows were removed the ex-
penSe was curtailcd. This is the
open history. 1t was open and
made public throughout all the time
the conditions existed.
Mr. McAdoo has made many state
ments relative TO profitccring and
otler things which are very I'M
popular. There is nothing more
unpopular than the truth where thc
truth IS not wanted.

GREAT OLD MAN.

i-iN rriu2N our >anctum had rs
, rs visitor Jack Clark. Of Camp 81 CT
he Pardcc K Curtin Lumber Conn
panN on Gaulcy River. Clark is a
hardy grlzZlcd veteran bearing the
ordinary characteristic garb of Il
woodSman. y long flowing beard
hing down below .IiS waisiline and
we were struck forciblv OF his "i,iD
Van Wrinkle" appearance by = cas-
uai look. but our gcratcst surprise
was sprung when inGuiring his age,
re save The good year 1911 rs being
the lime he first SAW the light, nav
lhS been born in New York State
April 20. 1914. which if correct
! would make him of the misty age of
!oS at his April birthday. Question
cu further as to his history he stat
td that he had been married five
times III his short career and was
me father Of 35 children. He said
iaconically that most of his chill
drcn were dead, only twenty being
alive. His fifth wife, according TO
his story died 8 years ago while Civ
! ing binth to twins.
/. Clark's family was divided as fol-
lows: - b yllis first wife, 10 by
his second, 7 by his third, 4 by his
fourth and 2 by his fifth. During
, the timber erea of Pennsylvania and
New York States, Clark worked at
the tie business in those States, hay
ing spent the greater part Of his
lie IN Potter county, Pa. When Cur-
Tin began operating on Hominy he
migrated to this county and has
been rendering continuous service in
the woods of Hominy section since.
Clark is Il little above the usual
height, is broad shouldcrcd and
stands straight rs a boy Of 1S. He
! has lived long past his generation Of
| people and has little knowledge Of
any who were once his friends of
! youth His account for his long
cvlty is that he has always lived The
simple life, obcycd the laws OF ma
turc and has brcathcd pure air "a
Eours in every day Of his life. Clark
Is now engaged in the lie business
ard says he has little trouble in
! making rs many ties as he could in
the early days of his life. For the
past several years his eycSight has
been almost perfect, wearing glasses
only when reading, he having re-
gained his second eyesight with the
Sl8le orb he possesses, the sight of
one Of his optices having been de-
stroyed years ago in an accident.
He keeps abrcst of the times, being
subscriber TO many Of the leading
papers of the nation and can discuss
with much interest any of the inn
portant questions of the day.
| If any one can produce a greater
phenomena from Il standpoint Of
years coupled with physical cndur-
ancc than Jack Clark of Wilderness
District, we'd like for Kim to be
trottcd out.-Nicholas Rcpuhiicun.
