A NEW PLAN.

Virtual elimination Of the lrilcd
Mine Workers organization from,
the New River field and ,Ralcigl,
county has brought about new SyS-
lem OF cooperation between miners
and operators in which both The EN-
ploycr and the employee are work
ing for the bcS, interests of each
other in the various camps. and all
are striving to make the plan a
success. Even the women, the wives
land SwcethcartS Of the miners, arc
taking an active interest in the new
order OF things and are working
icncrSctically toward the success and
permanent establishment of the
plan. incidentally, what dcstitu-
ton has existed is being eliminated.
AT the present time, practically
all the New River coal mines are op-
Grating on the cooperative basis of
handling disputes and msundcr-
standings Jointly between the Of
ficlals Of the company and the men
themselves. The plan Of operation
since tc unions have ceased to func-
ton is simple, Yet satisfactory to
the men themselves, they say. Far
example, at Beckley Slope, since the
union ceased TO exist and work has
been resumed, a welfare committcc
composed of the mine superintend-
emit, two miners, a fire boss and a
section foreman has been organized
1t is the duty Of the organization
and committee to look after the
welfare Of the men and their famil-
les and to see that mt all times their
needs are cared for. They are TO
take up and investigate shch cases
OF need as are reported TO them and
as might exist among the men. In
turn. they are to report to the COM
pany and immediate aid and assist
ance 1T TO be given those in need.
Then, too, there is committee COM
posed OF the wives of the men. and
they in turn are to keep in touch
with the conditions OF the various
families in the camp and TO report
any cases of need or distress. 1t is
further a part of thc program ihat
all children are to be kept in school
and If the parent cannot supply the
Suitble clOthig. The committee is to
take the matter uD and see that pro-
vision is made for cloihing the
child in suitable manner for
school.
The above is Il star: in the right
direction. Any business includes all
connected with that business as we'll
as the public who buys the product
OF the business. The worker who
will not be loyal to his employer,
should quit. The employer should
have the best interests of his en-
ployecS in mind. They combined,
should have the best interest Of the
publlc-their patrons-in mind.
This is real cooperation. 1t is un-
selfish. 1t spells success. Whcn-
ever all people and all BUSINESS be-
gins to look fter the interests of the
Other fellow it means Il winning sue

SUGAR TO GO HIGHER.

Higher prices for sugar may be

an investigation into the situation
In the sugar industry made public
by The commerce department. The

now entirely uninfluenccd by any
artficial control and the preset low
price level maifestly cannot long
continue without restricting the
production Of sugar below The

TIMES CHANGES IN ARCTIC
Once Was Mild and In All Proba-
bliity Frostlsss.

The ancient vegetation Of the Arc
&c region, as 10 shown by a study Of
Its fossil plants, indicates that its cii-
mate was cnce very unlike that which
prevails there now. Instead Of con-
ksting Of a handful Of small plants
struggling for life amid snow and ice
IN a scant, almost perpetually frozen
soil, Its vegetation was abundant and
5uxuriant. and included ferns and
palmilke plants, that grow only In q
mild and probably frostless climate.
This vegetation fiourished In the Arc
tic region from at least late Paieozoic
TO middle Cenozoic geological time
millions Of years before man existed.
Although these lands are now 80 In
hospitable and are rarely visited, the
United States geological survey has
gathered q large amount Of informa-
hon concerning their fossil fioras.
A study Of the coal beds Of the Cape
Lisburne region has incidentally dis
closed many fossil plants. These coal
beds are extensive and are the only
known commercially valuable mineral
resources Of that region. A little coal
IL occasionally mined for vessels that
are short Of fuel. which, a. there is no

Slack Walnut Valuable.

"Of all the forest trees found in the
original forests Of America" says
American Forestry, "the black walnut
probably suffered most at the hands
OF the early settlers. This Is due to
the well-known fact that 1t stood upon
the best land In the fertile valleys
and bordering foothills. These areas
were selected by tile pioneer farmers
for their clearings and farms. A large
number Of the choicest black walnut
trees were felled and burned simply
to get rid Of them. Many more were
split into fence rails or put to other
similar ordinary uses before the real
merits Of the wood became known.

RABBIT" IS PROPER NAME
Combination Of Toasted Cheese and
Brown Ale Has Been Incorrectly
Called "Rarebit."

The original name Of the combina-
ton Of toasted cheese and good brown
ale was, 1t Is an historical fact,
welsh Rabbit" II was a slang term,
at that. 1t was one Of a large class
OF similar terms describing In q hu.
morous manner the special dish, prod
uct or popularity Of a particular dis
trict. Thus. In England, a German
Duck" was the slang name for a
sleeps head stewed In onions. "Leis-
tershire PlOyer" was the name given
to a bag pudding, and "Digby Chicken"
was the slang term for herring.
Similar examples Of fnetaphorical
names for favorite dishes are found
10 every country. And long before the
word ''rarebit" was ever heard Of, the
familiar dish Of cheese and ale" was
known as "Welsh Rabbit"
1t was only when some solemn ETY..
mologist came along, and gravely
noting the fact that there was nothing
In the dish to even remotely sug-
gest a connection with q rabbit, sus-
sasted that the word was undoubted-
ly a corruption OF 'rarebit," which
would make some sense at least. So
"rarebit" II became among the pur-
lists. And the early dictionaries
adopted it, though the modern ones
acknowledge that rabbit has the
right Of way. e.

Why CALLED 1oLD DOMINION"
Two Explanations Have Been Given
for Nickname Bestowed on the
State Of Virginia.

There are two explanations as to
how the state Of Virginia came to be
called "Old Dominion" The one CIV
IN In the following account is gener.
ally regarded as the most plausible :
'In Capt John Smiths History of
Virginia. edition of 1929. there is a
map Of the settlements OF Virginia,
which at that time included New Eng
hand. as well as every other part Of
the British settlements In America.
He there calls our present Virginia
Duld Virginia'-the word old being
% spelled at that time-in contradis-
Hnction to the New England colony.
which is called New Virginia. Here,
then. we have the word 'ouid.' the dis
tinctive word Of the title. Now, we
know that. from the settlement of the
colony to the Revolution, every act
OF parliament. every letter Of the king
DO the governor, designated Virginia
a. the colony and dominion Of Vir-
Alnia. Here Is found the other word,
and the change In common talk from
Ould Virginia to Old Dominion was
easy, imperceptlbie and almost inevi-
table" ~ ~~
The other explanation Is that the
S1tie 'Old Dominion" was bestowed
spon Virginia by Charles II, because
the colony had refused to recognize
the government Of Cromwell, and. af-
Ter the execution Of Charles had
transferred Its allegiance to his son.
In gratitude for this loyalty. Charles
al caused the arms Of Virginia to be
4uartered with those Of England, Scot
hand and Ireland, as distinctive por-
hon Of the Old Dominion and an in
dependent member of the United King

redit to enable the farmers to tide

.ording them an extension of credit
hat viii give them from one to
;ilree years extension of time to
iqlidate their Indebtedness.
This amendment is known as the
Kellogg Substitute for the Norris
Bill. It was drawn by Senator Kel-
ogg after consultation with j. r.
Howard, President of the American
arm Bureau, and was approved by
Tim, and he and other officers of the
arm bureau assisted Senator KEEL
ogg in securing the passage OF the
bill.
The War Finance Corporation is
now fully organized to carry out the
provisions of the law, and the Fed
raj officials are anxious to get the
money to the farmers by the short

PHONE DUE TO DEAF muTEs
While Teaching Visible Speech" Il 10
Said Alexander Graham Bell
Made Great Discovery.

That the telephone was born I'm
America, and that Alexander Graham
Bell made his discovery in Boston. Of
the only way in which speech could
be transmitted, was due to circum-
stances full Of the deepest human in
terest, says the Telephone Press Ser
vice. That Bell came to Boston to
teach his fathers method Of visible
speech, was due to the insistence Of
a New England woman. Miss Sarah
Fuller. principal of the Horace Malin
School for Deaf Mutes.
Miss Fuller SO impressed the Boston
school board with the Importance OF
this method Of instruction for the un-
fortunate children under her care,
that, after vainly trying to secure of
Bells father, who had Invented the
system, the board, upon his recon-
mendation. offered the son, Alexander
Graham Bell, $500 to come to Boston
and give course Of instruction at
the school.
He went there April /, 1871, and
thereafter divided his time between
teaching the theory Of visible speech
to the teachers. and In practical in
structions to the pupils. In 1872 he
opened normal school for teachers.
In 1873 he accepted an appointment as
professor Of vocal physiology in the
school Of Oratory of Boston university.
In 1875, Professor Bell made the happy
discovery that led to the invention of
the telephone. He was then twenty
eight years old.
