THE LAST PAY

: ~ ATURDAY was one OF the greatest business
~ days that the city has had for months. The
trade amounted almost to Christmas trade. The
day was, pay day handing over to the miners
of the community the largest sum OF money that
has been. paid out at one time, for long period
The miners did not spend their money recklessly
twas more the fact that hundreds Of them were
buying with discretion, than that they flung their
Vast pay to the winds, which made the day one OF
unusual business proportions. They bought few
extras for the Easter dinner, the groceries and
markets quickly tailed, but they shopped for their
food, buying where they considered prices best
The buying q clothing in the main stuck TO
seryceable wear and articles OF necessity. The
men realize that every dollar must be made to
count from now
Fairmont is lmmeasurably dependent upon the
condition OF the coal industry for her prosperity.
When the miners contented and work is steady,
the whole Of the community Immediately reflects
IT. or course the city is not utterly dependent upon
coal for its existence, but II quite uncomfortahly
approaches that point. While Saturday before
Easter naturally witnesses an accession of trade
always, yet upon this occasion the swarmIng
stores and the burdened shoppers were largely the
reflection of the pay from the mines and without
~ the merchants would have quiet day in
comparison.
No wonder the entire community heartily wishes
that the differences in the coal industry were at an
end. The miners received their last pay Saturday
until the strike is declared of. After this money
Z Is gone, the miners will have no more until some
adjustment is reached. They face a period Of
uncertainty and unrest brought about in other
eenters than this. and they await decision that
must be reached in fields remote from District
No ~.
II permission could be extended to the United
Mine Workers in Northern West Virginia. giving
approval to separate negotiation, the strike here
would be of short duration, and Fairmont and
Community could settle back upon some firm
ground for continued prosperity in the coal
industry, and all this atmosphere of dlsconent
and uncertainty disappear.

John j. Cornwell, former governor OF West
Virginia will be present ut the state meeting of the
Wild Life League in Clarksburg Thursday. to
deliver the chief address before the convention
Fishermen and hunters from Fairmont are prepay
ing to attend the meeting. as well as numbers OF
others who are not active sportsmen, but who are
very much interested In the protection Of the wild
life of West Virginia The state organization will
be formed at this meeting. There has been no
more worth while movement started in West
Virginia for long time than the Wild Life
League. Had West Virginia had such an organza-
ton on the job for the last ten or fifteen years,
many streams now destitute OF life would be
teeming with fish, and game would still be
plentiful in localities that are now deserted. Every
sportsman ought to belong to the league, and take
an active interest in It's aims.

scored record for Sunday school attendance in

EASTER


New hope, new JOY, new life that is
the significance of Easter. During the
year our material plans may 60 astray,
troubles may assail US and the world
may seem dark dreary place indeed.
But with the coming of Easter we are
reminded that material things count as
naught for only the spiritual has pow
er and permanent actually. We learn
that as we cease to trust in the mat
erial, we are no longer made unhappy
by existing material conditions. Striv-
ing for spiritual happiness we gain JOY
and peace, and material difficulties
miraculously disappear.
Christ, in overcoming the greatest
obstacles the world has ever known,
set an example for us. And though
the way may often seem difficult, yet
each year at Easter time, we gain new
strength and courage knowing that
the Resurrection has as vital a mean
ing for us now as it did for the people
nineteen centuries ago,

EIy Has Natural Trap.

A peculiar traplike appendage, called
a mask. enables the young dragon fly
to capture the mosquito wrlggler on
which it feeds The mask consists
of a jointed, articulated arm that Is
attached to the under side Of the
head. At the extremity Of this arm
is the mask proper, which consists Of
two folding parts like hands, each Of
which is provided with row Of small
sharp teeth on its outer edge
When a tiny insect passes within
reach of the young dragon fly II
suddenly thrusts out the mask, grasps
the insect within II and backs II into
the mouth. When this organ is not
in use 1t folds back over the head,
covering 1t like mask.
The young dragon fly lives In ponds
and streams; and as II is very slow
moving, this trap Is Its salvation.

HE PAID THE NOTE

A certain shiftless character had
borrowed some money at the bank
after having been secured by h lrd-
working man. Notice was sent; no re-
spouse. second notice was sent,
but no response. And a third with
similar results. Whereupon the guar
antor was told to come in and take up
the note. Seeing the maker of the
note on the street, he asked,
Didn't you know that note was
due2"
Getting an affirmative reply, he fur
ther asked;
"Why didn't you take it up?"
This time the shiftless one made re-
ply:
Didn't you expect to pay it?
"No"
"Well, what did you sign it for if
you didn't expect to pay lIY'
There was no recourse from this
question, that's the way it usually
stacks up, so the guarantor took up
the note and credited the sum to ex-

Sweet odors.

Sweet and aromatic Odors have al

Eastern nations especially have ever
been noted for their intense love OF
perfumes. Some years ago Professor
Tyndall showed that sweet and
aromatic odors were cooling to rooms
in other words, their presence bars
out heat-rays Of the sun, allowing
those of light chiefly to enter, An
ether-sprey Of perfume, kept up for
few minutes in a summer room too
hotly heated by the sun, has almost
a magical effect In cooling It's atmos

How Black Cats Got Bad Repute.

The origin of the superstitlous aver
sion to black cats Is believed to date
back 800 years to the Seyennes noun
tain district of France. At that time
one William, abbot Of a monastery be
side the river Herault, and before then
a warrior in the Crusades, decided to
build bridge across the swift, noun
tain stream But as fast as the foun-
dations for the piers were put down
they we're swept away by the torrent.
He persisted for long time and final
ly decided that his lack Of success was
due to interference by the devil.
He is supposed then to have invoked
the Evil One and made compact
with him by the terms of which the
abbot would complete the bridge, but
the first animal to cross 1t would be-
long thereafter to the devil. So 1t
came about, and the first animal to
cross the bridge was black cat.
