naoe Shows Bio Decline in Northern West Virginia Friday
Production Near
Average of 1921

The second week, of the ma
ton wide coal strike, which rep
resented the peak of the mine
workers efforts to shut off the
entire coal production, curtailed
the production of Northern
West Virginia TO an average OF
129 RAILROAD cars per day. Four
hundred eighty-two mines were
closed by the strike order and
sixty-se remained at work.
There has been consistent in.
crease since that time until
Thursday when the peak loading
Of 500 cars daily was reached.
This is close to so per cent of
the 1921 daily average.
This means that between 1.400
and 1900 mines employees were
AZ work on the second week and
there are now approximately
5000 men employed. There
There have been 104 mines
opened up, manned, and now
producing coal. At these mines
no question was asked the ap-
plicants for work, whether or
not they were union on non
union men.

.BLOODH0U 0UND TRAIL
INGEND!|IAR!!ES HOME |:

ELKINS, w. Va, June "a
Bloodhounds, brought from Fair
mont to trail the incendiaries who
fred mining tipples at Weaver,
near here today, picked up the
scent from the handles of jugs
which contained oil. and followed
the trail to the home of Charles
and Scott Martin in that village
The hounds walked directly from
the tipple to the Martin home
where state troopers arrested the
brothers. They were brought to
Elkins and committed to the Ran
dolph County jail in default OF
$4,000 bail each. Justice of the
Peace n. M Smith placed a charge
of arson against them.
The fire was discovered by state
Policeman Moore, Swiger, Pillman
and Adams about midnight They
sounded an alarm, and with the
assistance of watchmen extin-
guished the blaze before it caused
extensive damage. An investiga-
ton showed that oil had been
poured about the scales and tip
pie.
Both of the Martins are union
miners, both being formerly en-
ployed by the. Davis Coal Co. of
Weaver.

"Too much profanity is used by

Pritchard, .Fairmout's ministerial
traffic officer.
Traffic can be Just as we'll regu-

use of profanity and the Reverend
Mr.. Pritchard is endeayoring to

has received the same courtesy in

The maximum time allowed by the
parking regulations is ten minutes.
The new traffic officer can be
seen almost any time along Main
street in the afternoon or evening
with a pencil and number of
small blue cards in his hand The
system he uses is to start at one

the curve Of his neck, in the coming
stoop Of his shoulders, in the thinning

kind of an altar. and the altar had
begun to disintegrate into a dirty,
useless sand and dust.
The night came on apace. A search
light on a roof garden played upon
American flag futtering in the night

1t all through the open window. He
could hear, rising and falling, the
distant strains of an orchestra. He
sat staring down at a paragraph in

strong. patient hands-drooped over
the ends Of the chair arms.
Then, suddenly, he saw out Of the

was her umbrella-Miss Frances

At WOmen'S Knickers

IN o THE EDITOR: read a story
in the papers the other day in
regards to woman that was
going to make a tour around
the world in knickerbockers so as to
show the independence of American
womens and I thought to myself at
the time that IL she looked like the
most of the fair sex who I have saw
wadeing around in that costume this
summer, why she won't half to go no
such a distance to be independent
because as far as / am concerned
she is free agent right now and I
know Of a whole lot of other gents
that feels the same way.
Now please don't get the idear that
got any moral scrupples VS.. womens
dressing themselfs up like their mas
ters because that would be far from
the truth but what 1 got objections
to Is how they look after doing same
and when say they I don't mean 100
per cent because Of course they's GER

in any kind of get up and still keep
looking at them.
Further and more am against the
theory which seems to be held by the
women folks of today in gen. namely
that they are justified in fixing them

long as it makes them more comfort
able irregardless Of appearances.
This is the theory that brought on
the bobbed hair epidemic which has
probably did more towards breaking
up Americas grandest institution the
home than all the golf clubs and gin
combined. The gals may try to kid
themselfs and US that getting rid of
their braids has enhanced their
beauty, but outside of Mr.. Ziegfeld's
chorus ! amt seen more than 4 or 5
married women who bobbing their
hair hasn't made them more laugh
able.
THE same is true in regards TO
knickers which aptly enough
rhymes with snickers. They amt no
