Der 9Th, when the hand Of death halt
ed in our midst, and the news went
forth that Grandma Hinkle was dead.
She was born in Randolph County
West Va, March 29,1849. Converted
December 20, 1866 and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church and from
that time on has been an active and
energetic member, serving it in every
way she could. She was married to
Bernard Hinkle January 3rd 1866. To
this union was born one child Mrs.
Floyd Teter; three grandchildren;
one great granddaughter.
There is but one eulogy that will
rightly represent her, that is, the life
she lived. She was a consecrated
and devoted Cristian Woman, willing
always to lend a hand; friend know
ling not only the secret of friendship
but almost worshipped by those per-
sons who resorted to her as their
counsel.
She is gone, but worthy Of all ac-
ceptation are the words Of the Divine
Book, she held dear - "Then shall
the righteous shine forth as the sun,
in the Kingdom of their Father" All
those who have had the privilege of
knowing Grandma, can never forget
her beautiful life.
For life is web, and in it's warp
and wool
There runs thread of gold that gilt
tiers fair.
1t is true that we have wept. But
o, this thread of gold
We would not have it tarnish. Let us
turn
Often and look back upon the won
drous web,
And when it shineth we shall know
That memory is possession"
Grandma has joined that innumer-
able band who have come up through
trlbulation and trouble and washed
their robes in the healing waters of
Eternal Life; she has fought the good
hight, kept the faith and now - faith

WHY THE RAISE IN GAS

Editor Progressive
As a Belington citizen away from
home, l want to raise and inquire
why it is that the West Virginia Cen
trail Gas company has the gall to
raise it's gas rates to eighty cents per
thousand?
If there was a scarcity of gas in
the State and country there might be
some reason for the increase in price.
But there is not.
Having within the past few weeks
been in some of the largest gas pro-
ducing regions of the State, / know
from observation and close question
ing of those who are in a position to
know that there is gas plenty-as
much or more than there has ever
been stored up at one time. In every
gas field l have visited, new wells
are coming in every day, and many
of the old ones producing as much as
ever.
Even in Southern Ohio, they are
better off for gas than the people of
West Virginia from whom they get
their supply While in that State
inquired of a citizen how much he
was paying for his natural gas, piped
from West Virginia, and was surpris-
ed when he told me that he was pay
ing twenty-five cents with off,
which made his gas cost him 20 cents
/ showed him a notice from the gas
company at home claiming that they
were obliged on account of the scar
c1ty of gas to raise the price to 80
cents, when he who was paving %
cents and out of the bounds of West
Virginia, had received no notice of
raise. As very, very humble citi-
zen | should like to know why the
people of our little city and that
country in general are being robbed
in this way by a heartless and money!
grabbing monopoly.
IT there was really scarcity of
gas, there might be some reason for
the gas company to raise their rate.
but in the present case it is nothing
short of downright robbery for them
to take advantage of the people on
the manner they are doing.
They do it just because they can,
and are so hungry for money that
they are willing to rob the poor peo-
pie from the comfort of a fire this
winter to crafty their greed for the
almighty dollar
Is there nothing the people can do
to rid themselves of this imposition?
VIII they not in some way try to
protect themselves?

Alaska sends fish, furs, copper
and gold and takes food and

Trade of the United States with
its non-contiguous territory in the
flscal year 1925 exceeded a half
billion dollars against little more
than a quarter of a billion in 1918
and less than hundred million
dollars in 1908.
By the term "non-contiguous
territory" is of course meant
Alaska, Porto Rico, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippine Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Virgin Islands. Our trade with
this entire non-contiguous terri
tory has aggregated in the last
decade nearly $5,00O00O0OO, hav-

the case of the Philippine Islands

OUR ISLANDS and WHAT They SEND lis

exports thereto 1921 100000. This
tact that the imports from our
non-contiguous territory always
exceed the exports thereto, is pri-
marily due, according to the Trade
Record of The National CITY Bank
OF New York, to the fact that all
OF the islands lying as they do in
the tropics are large producers of
the class of material which we
must import especially sugar, cof-
fee, manila, tropical fruits, vege-
table oils, and tobacco of quality
differing from that produced in our
temperate zone climate. They in
turn take largely from US chiefly
in foods and manufacture but as
their population is limited, total
ing but about 100000 against our
own population of 100000 it is
quite natural that our purchases
from them should be larger than
theirs from US. That they do buy
very largely from the United
States, however, is evidenced by
the fact that Porto Rico takes

TWO OUTLAWS FIGHT
OUT Of DEATH TRAP
SET BY BIC POSSE

TULSA, Okla, March 2S.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Al Spencer, who
took the role of Oklahoma's most
daring outlaw upon the death of the
notorious Henry Starr, apparently
had made good his escape today
after outfighting and outwitting a
posse of more than $50 officers and
men,
With one lieutenant, Spencer bat
tied his way out of a death trap set
by the posse and then vanished
Both Spencer and the man with him
are reported to be wounded.
The search for Spencer and his
companion was being directed today
around Tulsa, where officers be-
lieved they would eek refuge in
making for their retreat somewhere
in the Businesses of the Usage ;.
The bandit leader left behind him
two of the men who aided him Mon
day in the robbery of the state bank
at Mannford-one dead and the
other in the hands of Creek county
officials
The dead bandit was Bud Max
field, who started his criminal
career back in the territorial days
of Oklahoma as cattle rustler.
Maxfield is known to have worked
under Henry Starr.
T,on StI1rtz TULSA ant ON nI1ilp m @.
chanic, is the man held. The hunt
for Spencer, who has terrorized
northern Oklahoma for several
years by making sudden descents
upon country banks, had been given
up today by the posse that rallied
from three counties when it was
to his last stand.
With one of his men captured, an
other shot down and hemmed in on
a wooded hill four miles east of
Mannford, where he sought refuge,
death seemed almost certain for
Spencer Monday night. But the
willy leader, after standing off the
posse with heavy gunfire, glided
down the hill through the brush and
before daylight made his way back
toward Mannford and within. 30
miles of the scene of the holdup,
crossed the Cimarron river, whore
he headed through the river bottoms
in the direction of Tulsa. Blood
hounds, following the trail, marked
the course that Spencer and his
companion took in their retreat.
Maxfeld was shot down on the
hillside late Monday, when the posse
came upon Spencer and two COM
panions, but Spencer did not desert
his pal when he fell. Blazing away
at the pursuers, the bandit leader
and the unwounded man dragged
Maxfield up the hill. When it was
ascertained that Maxfield was dead,
the body was left behind in clump
of. bushes, where the posse came
upon it later. s.-~.. -

gle near the hill where he was re-
