SETTING THE RIGHT EXAMPLE
To The Belington Progressive:

To The Belington Progressive:
Must we keep eur mouths shut
The book says: Tie that sins re-
Dukes before all, that others may
take warning, may it all be done in
the name of the Lord"
There is a leader in one Of the
churches in this city who will get up
and walk around the church in time
of prayer, and his little boy does the
same, following, dad leading. I have
noticed some other little boys doing
the same. Is this good christian
training? If all the other boys and
girls follow this kind of leading
what kind of churches will we have :?
Better go to the movies. Oh that we
might get serious in worship.
All for the glory of God.

CLAIMS WHEELING HAS
BIGGEST SUCKER" LIST

CHARLESTON, w. Va. March A.
The city of Wheeling squanders at
least three million dollars annually
on wildcat stock selling schemes, and
leads the states sucker list" Of a well
known compiler of such date, Major
John Bond, state auditor, told a To-
cal business mems club at it's week
ly luncheon today.
On this list, the auditor continued
Their are 1890 suckers" in the
state Of West Virginia, who, he said
if properly approached can be count
ed upon to drop $4,000 on wildcat
schemes
"There are 1900 good for $f0,000,'
the auditor declared, land 344 good
for $4,000 each"
Wheeling is rated as having 1900
suckers who are held up to the good
for $4,000 each and 1872 who will,
likely as not, drop 100000"
Auditor Bond spoke on the made
quacy of the present blue sky law
The speaker went into various in
vestment propositions promoted in
this state, some of which he said
were successful and others that he
characterized as "ludicrously impos-
sible."
