NOTICE TO sUBSCRIBERs.
EUROPE'S WEAKNESS.

1t is related that the sultan of Turkey. 800
years ago. after disastrous war. ordered his
people every morning to recite this prayer
May the angel of discord, who has always been
our ally. come again to our aid, and confound
our enemies" The angel may or may not have
needed Mohammedan prayers. but time and
again there has been discord among European
powers and every time Turkey has taken ad-
vantage of It, Again, there has been indecision
and lack of harmony among European powers,
and Turkey has made the most of It's oppor-
tunity. Europes weakness has been and is now
Turkeys strength.
In the settlement of questions resulting from
the world war; European powers largely looked
to advantages to themselves. As advantages
gained became apparent, jealouses resulted and
united purposes and action became impossible
Great Britain desired removal of the Moham-
medan menace to her Indian possessions, and
encouraged Greece to fight Turkey. though other
nations opposed. This Is why Great Britain
alone today undertakes to prevent Turkey from
regaining foothold in Europe British forces
face Turkish army that would have been an
Insignificant contingent In the world war, but is
powerful enough to menace not only
Europe but India.
Before the cenHiet In the Near East is ter
minated Europe may be taught very valuable
lesson by Turkey. Great Britain especially may
find it more advantageous to compose differ
ences with her neighbors than to compromise
with the Turk. The whole Near East question
will undoubtedly have to be reviewed and read
iusted simply because Europe's weakness made
Turkey strong.

DEATH RATE LOWER.

Figures for the registration area of the
United States. where vital records are tabulated'
including over 100000 of Our population, show
the lowest death record for the past year, III
per thousand. as against 13.1 In 1920. The rate
of infant mortality was also lower. being 70 in
stead of SO.
The birth rate was 243 compared with 1871,
the births being more than double the deaths.
AS disease prevention increases we may hope
for consistent lowering of the death rate. par
ticularly in reducing the rate of infant mortality.
The progress interrupted by war conditions and
the invasion of influenza Is apparently being
resumed.

CONSTRUCTION RECORD
FOR STATE OF INDIANA

September building contracts in
the state of Indiana amounted to
s5,5e5,70o, according to the F. D.
Dodge co-arany. This was a de-
cline of "a per cent from the pre-
ceding month and of per cent from
the corresponding month of last
year. Last months total included:
s1,66s.0o0, or 80 per cent, for resi-
Dental buildings; s1,295.900, or 20
per cent. for public works and utili-
ties; sT47.ooo. or Is per cent, for
educational buildings; and $719,eoo
or l3 per cent for Industrial build
ings.
Total construction started during
the first 8 months of this Year has
amounted TO s102.713.70o, which is
p per cent more than the entire
amount for last year. On the nine
months basis. this year is Al per
cant ahead Of last year.
Residential construction to Octo-
Der /. amounted to s1s,729,60o,
which is only IS per cent OF the
total construction to date. This low
proportion would seem to indicate
that Indiana should have increased
residential construction next year.

War Savings Stamps of the series

Jnuary I, 1923. The people who
bought these stamps will receive
their full face value upon redemp-
tion and will find that the money
they saved five years 90 has earn
ed every year about four per cent
compound interest. In order to af-
ford holders Of war savings stamps
an opportunity to continue their in
vestment in safe government Secu-
rity the Treasury Department is Of
ferinS an exchange of War Savings
Stamps for Treasury Savings Ccrti-
iicatcS. Inc certificates are issued in
denominations of S25, 500 and ST.
900, maturity value, and sold for
S2O.50, $50 and $500, respectively.
Holders Of War Savings Stamps
can get them at these prices upon
application through their own bank
Or their post Offices.
The growing inclination of the
people to save and their desire to
find 4 safe reinvcStmcnt for their
money leads Treasury officials to
believe that 4 large part of the six
hundred million dollars in War
Savings Stamps soon TO become due
will be exchanged for Treasury Saw

the consolidation of a monumental
temple, which it was estimated, may
cost above two million dollars.
To start the fund for the build
ing of the new international home,
the grand chapter set aside $4,000.

AUTO PLUNGES OUT OF ROAD.

On Tuesday evening. the 1-;th
INST, Orr Scott, aged about 10. SON
of MIR. and Mrs. +. w. Scott, of Sinks
Grove. Monroe county, met with an
automobile accident thrcc-fourths
of mile north of Union from which
he narrowly escaped with his life.
He ws driving to Union in his Ford
car about > o'clock and had started
the descent Of the hill near "Wal-
nut Grove" the Miles home, when
he reached down to pick up an ap-
pie which was on the floor of the
car. While his attention was taken
from the steering wheel for this
brief moment, the car veered from
the road and ere he could recover
control Of it plunged over the bank
at the left and across the fence,
turned over, caught for an instance
on a bush and then rolled down the
steep hill to the bottom of the little
vac, distance of probably so feet,
turning over 8 times as it descend
ed. In the second that the car hung
on the bush Orr fell from it TO the
ground and so escaped with only a
few bruises and slight cuts from the
broken windshield. The car of
course was wrecked, two wheels
and the top torn to bits, though the
body still stuck together. The pres
ervation of the young mans life
seems providential. He has been
driving for several years, never had
an accident before and was travelling
at moderate Speed.-Wdtchnan.

JUDGE TO RESIGN.

Judge Harold 4. Ritz, of Bluefield
member of the Supreme Court OF
West Virginia has designated his in
tention of resigning from that body.
The date his resignation is to take
effect probably will be December
3lSt, because the Court is in the
midst OF II important term and will
not adjourn until the middle of De-
cember.
Judge Ritz is regarded BY the
bench and bar of the State rs an able
JurISt, thoroughly verscd in law and
impartial in his official decisions.
1t was regarded as probable that
lie will remain in Charleston to prac
tice law rather than return to his
home in Bluefield. Judge Ritz was
elected to the Supreme Court in
1916, succeeding the late Judge
John w. Mason, Of Marion county
and would have five years to serve
yet 1t does not seem to be made
public why he is TO resign. 1t would
seem that the Supreme Court of w.
Va, is medium of advertising
either for law practice or politics.
Judge Saunders of Bluefield and
Judge Cox, of MorSantown, were
first to resign to 90 back to law
practice; then Judge Robinson; then
Judge Lynch. Now comes the an
nouncement that Judge Ritz is to re-
sign. 1t would seem that no one
elected to the higher Court of West
Virginia scarcely fills his term OF
twelve years. The. election on the
7th of Mr.. McGinnis was merely
to fill an unXpired term.
On the heels of the announced
resignation of Judge Ritz, of the Su-
preme Court of West Virginia, Judge
George Potfenbarger, of that Court,
now deSignatcs his intention of re-
signing. Judge Poffcnbarger was
elected to the Supreme Court in 1900
and served full twelve year term.
He was reelected in 1912 and his
present term would close December
81. 1924.
