ANDREW STEVENS AN
ANNOUNCES FOR SHERIFF.

Andrew Stevens, of Union District
whose announcement for sheriff APP
pears this week in the Progressive, is
a native of Barbour county, a staunch
Republican and one whom the people
of Barbour county can rely upon. He
is member of the u. B. Church of
Volga; a leader in Sunday school
work, an accommodating merchant and
a business man worthy Of the sup
port of any voter. He expects to
get in touch with the voters between
now and the Primary and convey to
them certain reasons why he asks
their support. One is that he con-
siders that this is his turn for the
nomination, another reason is that he
needs the office, the others he will
tell you about later on.

ARE THE FIRES INCENDIARY?

The burning of public school build
ings in West Virginia is becoming a
serious problem. Just what kind of
spirit actuates such an act is difficult
to discern. The person who would
deliberately burn a school house
must be mentally deficient or moral
ly base and perverted. Two school
houses have been reported burned to
the ground in northern West Vir-
ginia within the past two weeks. The
last incident at Lumberport which
entailed loss of $4,000 and left
500 children without a place to re-
ceive instruction, is surely some
thing that should be sifted until
every bit of mystery in connection
with the fire is penetrated. There
may be perfectly natural reason
for the blaze. Carelessness or over
heating may be the answers but if
this destruction comes from incen-
diary source, as too many such fires
are conceded to be, certainly there
should be earnest and continued ac-
tivity on the part of the authorities
until the one responsible is appre-
hended and punished Fairmont

ONE OF THE OTHER, NOT BOTH

The cold truth about the bonus and
tax reduction was thus strikingly
stated by Senator Borah in his
speech at New York a few days ago:
"You cannot take off a temporary
burden Of $40, 100000 or $150,0OO,-
600 and lay on permanent obliga-
ton Of $4,Oo0,oOOOOO or $5,oOo,-
100000 and call it tax reduction and
bonus advocates try to dodge that
truth, but it cannot be lodged. It
will rise up to forbid their doing two
things, one Of which absolutely ex-
cludes the. other.
There is no way of escape from the
alternative that is presented tax re-
duction and no bonus or bonus and
no tax reduction. We cannot eat our
tax cake and give away. We cannot
both save and spend the same mon
ey. No honest, straight-thinking man
pretends that we can.-Portland Ore

CHAPTER viii
The Fairy's Secret.

The furnishings of the cabin under
the crimson rambler would have been
revelation to stranger entering the
door for the first time A soft-toned
rug from the Orient covered three
fourths of the Ugh floor, stopping
just short of the cook stove, which,
with its array of utensils. occupied the
other fourth. The bed was high post
ed and caEopied, dressed in the finest
linen and hung with faded tapestry.
The chairs were handsomely uphol-
stored, while center. table, of hand
carved rosewood stood in the mid-sec-
tor of the floor.
Along the south wall an American
nag Of silk hung draped, and under its
lopped-up center two pictures the
beautiful face Of a woman; and in
the companion frame, the fine, up
standing figure Of soldier in the uni
form Of colonel Of Mounted Rang
ers-the man and the woman who had
dreamed the dream that never came
true
The woodsman had finished his task
at the barn and feedpens that evening
and returned to the cabin, where,
deeply thoughtful he was half me-
chanically building b fire in the cook
stove when his quick ear caught the
sound Of light step coming along the
path from the orchard He laid down
the kindling and turned toward the
door.
The light step had stopped and
Texie stood outlined in the doorway,
her eyes dancing alive over the
thought Of having taken the alert
woodsman by surprise, the round won
der of her throat and cheeks touched
to softer blush by the waning sun
light that slipped in under the Grim
son rambler.
The man dragged on his hat. The
girl glanced over the cabin lifted her
eyes.
Jack, you're the best housekeeper
in the Flatwoods'
The floor creaked with the weight
of him as he came to the door. He
had to stoop to pass under the Intel,
and his massive shoulders spread al
most from jamb to jamb

way. There's wonderful fairy about

WERE THOSE DAYS GOOD?

When you hear an old-timer sigh
for the days of his forefathers, smile
to yourself and think of this: Our
forefathers got along without autos,
soap, stoves, tooth-brushes, window
glass, MISREPRESENTATION the things
we consider the essentials of life.
There never has been time when
life bettered itself so rapidly and so
consistently as now. New convent
ences and new comforts are contin-
ually being thought out and brought
out for our benefit. In order to reap
the advantages that are yours today
you've got to read the ads of your
merchants. They bring you news of
all that goes to make home life more
pleasant; they keep you informed of
all that is new in the stores; they tell
you not only about the goods, the
styles, the varieties and prices, but
also where and when these things are
to be had The advertisements are
messages from the business world to

ssUPERPoWERn ALREADY HERE


In discussing the subject of super
power, the annual report of the Fed
eral Power Commission says: "There
has been much discussion of the sub
ject of ssuperpower', and the i'm
preston prevails that the term inn
plies the adoption Of methods not
hitherto employed and the use of
equipment and of stations of a size
and efficiency hitherto unknown, with
the concurrent scrapping of all we
now have, to the end that we may
be able to obtain electric energy in
quantities much greater and at costs
much less than is now possible. This
impression is not correct. While we
may expect, of course, a constantly
increasing supply and gradually
diminishing cost, superpower, in fact
merely means the general employ
ment of the best of present-day prac
tice. 1t means that existing gener-
ating stations shall be electrically in
terconnected to greater degree than
now prevails and that whether as adj
ditions tp existing facilities or as
substitutions sfor what has become
obsolete or inadequate, new stations
when built shall be of large size and
high efficiency. 1t does not mean any
general scrapping of existing sys
TENS under such conditions that
when they meet they may be inter
connected and operated as a single
system.
"Superpower is not something for
the future. 1t is with US now and
has been for several years. Only
four gaps with total of about 25
miles require to be closed in order to
have an interconnected system along
the Pacific coast reaching from Brit
ish Columbia to Mexico, a distance
of some 400 miles. In the South
Atlantic States interconnection has
been effected through Alabama,
Georgia, North and South Carolina,
and Tennessee, with extensions pro-
jected into Kentucky, the Virginians
and Ohio. Both of these systems
have hundreds of thousands of horse
power of generating capacity and
have an annual energy output mea-
sured in billions of kilowatt hours.
"The close relation between super
power systems and water power de-
veloment and extent to which they
are interdependent may be indicated
by the fact that our two greatest sys-
TENS, the one on the Pacific coast
and the other in South Atlantic
States, have been developed concur
rently with development of water
powers and that there are no systems
based upon staem power comparable
with these two in extent of territory
served.
at is only matter of time, and
that not far distant, when. through
the natural expansion of adjacent To-
cal groups of plants and lines we
should have in the eastern United
States a superpower system rivaling
that of the Pacific coast"
