FURNACE NO. 1
 OF I. (. l. WORKS
 PLACED IN BLAST
Resumption Places Entire Series In Operation
 Now

Furnace No. 1, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Besse- mer, has been placed in blast after sev- eral months idleness during which needed repairs were made, according to announcement Friday. The furnace IS being prepared to go on manganese, a huge importation of which ore is en route to Birmingham from Mobile by way of the barge line and by rail. It is expected that several days will elapse before the furnace is given maganese ore. it being first necessary to make sev eral runs of ordinary ore.
 The resumption of operations at this furance places the entire series of Ten nessee company furnaces in blast ex cepting Oxmoor, the oldest furance ir this district. It is not expected that Oxmoor will be resumed except in east of greater need than now exists for i is not on the company railroad line, ant is not operated except as a last resort During the war, however, Oxmoor made great showing.
 No announcement was made by thu Tennessee company relative to the re sumption of the Bessemer plant. How ever, it is believed the increase in op erations and the necessity for more iron especially of ferro-manganese at thu steel plant will account for the renewa of operations at Bessemer.
 All plants of the Tennessee compan! are operating steadily, while forces ar' rushing forward the work on the new plants under construction at Fairfield

A Letter From REV. E. C. LEE.

Formerly Pastor of West End Cumberland Presbyterian Church Mir. A. A. POindexter, City,
 Dear 6iri
 have had indigestion for years and no doubt spent over one thou sand dollars to get relief. It had gone into Catarrh of 8 very bad form and the prospect of recovery seemed hopeless. One day I was as- costed by Mir. POindexter, who had become very much interested in my success as 8 minister. He told me what POindexter's Golden Seal Tonic would do for me with all the earnest ness of his heart.
 Faith caused me to act and when I had taken the first bottle I mo- ticed a remarkable change. Ten bottles cured me and put twenty pounds of flesh on me. I am now enjoying better health than in twen- ty-fiVe years.

MINERS DEMAND
4-YEAR CONTRACT
Action Follows Rejection of Demand
For Six-Hour Day by Delegates
in Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. dele.
gates to the biennial convention Of
the United Mine Workers of America
voted overwhelmingly today in favor
of the proposal Of the scale commit
tee that four-year wage agreement
be sought when the miners and oper-
ators' representatives meet at Jack
sonville, Fla, on February II to neg
otiate new contract for the blum
nous fields. A long term contract
was urged by administration leaders,
who held that it would give stability
TO the industry.
The convention also adopted the
recommendation for the formation
of policy committee which would
act in emergencies and in case of
necessity determine upon general
strike. The vote upon this question
and also upon the question Of the
long term agreement was by show
of hands. 81, ssa

in behalf of the four-year agreement
pleaded with the convention to ac-
cept the recommendation, declaring
it was policy determined upon after
the earnest consideration Of the, in
ternational and district officers.
The convention yesterday had de-
bated the subject of demanding a six
hour day, but it was voted not to in
corporate a demand for the shorter
day.
Attempts to strike out the ban a
gainst the Ku Klux Khan from the
constitution of the mine workers and
substitute blanket clause against
"any organization whose principles
are detrimental to the United States
government or to the United Mine
Workers" lost in the convention this
morning by large majority.

MORGANTOWN HI WINS FROM
FROM BELNGTON HI

MORGAlJTOWN, Feb. AFTER
playing listless ball in the first half,
the strong Morgantown high school
basketball team staged brilliant
in the final period and defeated the
Belington high school cagers by a
score of Is to 16. The Belington lads
who defeated the local team early in
the season in game played on their
their own floor, took the lead in the
first of the contest and were on the
long end of IL to 8 score at half
time.
The local team, lead by the veter-
an E. Lepera, then regained their
opponents in the second half. The
game was fast at all times and the
large crowd was kept on their feet
at all times. Lepera was little off
color tonight, having played SEN
sational game against Fairview Fri
day when he scored IL field baskets
and was only able to make three
goals from the floor and failed at
the foul Line. Steele, the newly elect
ed captain of the local team was at
his best and was high point man for
his team. Wilson played the best
ball for the Belington lads.

then permits them to carry a crouch

THE CLOCK OF LIFE

1.-THE Clock of Life is wound but
once,
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will
stop
At late or early hour,
NOW is the only time you own;
Live, Love, Toll with will
Place no faith in tomorrow for
The clock may then be STILL"
How little we think of that time
when life's clock will stop. Occa-
sionlly we are confronted with some
condition which forces us to face the
uncertainty of Life.
Our concern is sufficiently grave
while it lasts, but it passes before
the rushing tide of daily events and
is forgotten until some tragic event
forces it upon us again
Whether we think on these things
or not, the clock of life is steadily
ticking off the seconds, the minutes,
hours and days which bring us
nearer the bounds of life. Face the
facts.

UNSAFE DRINKING WATER
SUPPLIES FOR SCHOOLS

CHARLESTON, Feb. 4.-That
unsafe drinking water is being sup
piled to the children in large num-
Der Of rural schools of the state,
has been proved by test recently
conducted by State Health Commits
sioner Henshaw
Teachers af fifty rural schools
were recently requested to send
samples of the school drinking water
to the labratory of the state de-
partment of health. Careful ex-
animation of the water by labra-
tory methods showed that only 46
per cent were definately safe, II per
cent were probably safe, Ia per
cent suspicious and % per cent
were definately unsafe.
The schools were scattered in all
parts of the state and the supplies
included wells, springs and rivers.
Water which had been contamin-
ated by human waste is declared
by the health commissioner to be the
greatest factor in the states high
typhoid fever rate. Because of the
poor reporting of deaths in the
state, the exact number of deaths
occurring from this disease cannot
be given, but with the figures at
hand, it is known that at least four
times as many people die Of ty-
phoid in West Virginia as die in the
United States at large from this
cause.
Testing of the school water was
for the purpose of determining the
general quality of the water being
used by rural school children.

JONES THE IMPERSONATOR
HERE AGAIN

s. Plat Jones, Of Syracuse, N. Y,
one Of our great American imperson-

here's another Jones Of New York
state-who delivers the goods" al
right. For almost two hours he held
his audience in ways most wonderful.
The laughter, the logic and the life
he deals out are surely the essential
tonics which are responsible for long
and happy lives. His subject on
Fits and Misfits" was truly in keep
ing with his representations.
This is the second time Mr.. Jones
has appeared before a Belington au-
dience, and it is hoped il is not the
last time. He goes frem here to
Lumberport. Success is sure to
crown him in his great work.

CLEANUP CONSIDERATION


| costs a community more to be dirty
than to keep clean," asserts State
Fire Marshal G. l.. Topping, who is
formulating plans for the annual
spring Cleanup and Paint:Up cam
paign "a drive that is intimately as
sociated with the fire prevention
work of his department.
Consider the toll of disease, fire
and depreciation, through filth, dis
order and neglect" continued Mar
shall Topping. "For one example:
Dust and CRIME are said to be respon
sible for more than so per cent Of
the wear and tear on clothing and
house furnishings.
'It is not surprising then that the
people of America have become thor
oughly aroused to the necessity for
community cleanliness. When the
National Cleanup and Paint:Up
Bureau in st. Louis first sounded it's
call to arms on May l, 1923, there
was an almost instant and nation
wide response.
"Today more than 1000 cities and
towns with a probable average of /,
900 volunteer workers, or total of
7.000,000 men, women and children,
are working together for common
cause-sto make this community as
clean as its cleanest home
"This is but the power Of an idea
multiplied by the multitude. 1t is
the mass idea extended and lengthen-
ed 1t is cooperation in its highest
development, and its visible results
represent the most practical and
therefore the finest kind of altruism.
every housewife realizes that dir
ty streets and yards in her commun-
ity are a real burden on her time and
purse. The dust from the streets
find Judgement in her curtains, drap-
cries and carpets. It makes her
Housekeeping an endless burden. And
so with the merchants and all other
classes.
"No home owner would attempt to
clean up the entire community, but
when a large number work together
in concerted effort to clean up, the
result is apparent to all of them.
Neither was it difficult to convince
the city government, the chamber Of
commerce and other organizations in
those 1000 communities, that con-,
sistent affect to clean up and keep
clean. would be good thing for
everybody. It has made every one of
these cities more sanitary, it has ELI
minated fire risks, reduced insurance
premiums, increased the pride and
selfrespect Of all the citizens, and
made the city more desirable place
in which. to live.
'The splendid community spirit
which has been developed in these T.
900 cities and towns has practically
remade many communities. Streets
and repaired parks are beautified,
ramshackle fire traps are RACED.
Millions Of homes and public build
ings have been repaired, repainted
and restored to beauty and useful
ness.
"The complete history of the Clean
Up and Paint-Up campaign will
never be written, but it is sufficient
to say that no such practical poular
and successful cooperative movement
for community welfare and better
ment ever has been undertaken"
