PLIGHT OF THE MINERS

AMONG all the tong classes in civilized coun-
tries of the world the condition of coal miners
is perhaps the worst, taken year after year. In
spite of all the plans which have been advanced
for their relief their plight is in many most
pitiful.
This is primary another illustration Of the in
exorable law Of supply and demand While in
some cases the coal operators have been oppres-
sive, and in others the miners have been unreas
enable, the situation can on the whole be attrl-
buted to the simple fact that there too
many coal miners, and they appear to be unable
to turn their hands to any other occupation.
An interesting experiment is being planned by
a group of wealthy people I'M England, who pro-
pose to place one million unemploye d British min
ers ON farm in the Peace River country in Cana
da While the scheme is laudable enough in it's con
ception there are manifestly many obstacles to be
overcome, the greatest of which may be that of
inducing miners of the right sort of metal to
make the change.
Persons descended through generations of
wage-earners of the humblest sort are unlikely
to be capable of developing the initiative and
pioneering spirit so necessary to wrestling a llv-
ing from new agricultural section. STILL it seems
difficult to picture worse situation than that in
which the miners now find themselves, and many
may be willing to take the chance on the theory
that any change would be for the better
Canada is a rapidly developing country OF al
most mitless possibilities, and it could probably
absorb million immigrants as rapidly as they
could be brought over, as the movement would
doubtless take many years. Should the expert
ment be tried, it would be watched with sympa-
thetic interest by all who wish to practical
means of relief afforded the unfortunate miners.

HOW FLORIDA RECEIVED ITS NAME

The first state to bear Spanish name is Florida
Ponce de Leon discovered Florida on Easter Sun
day in 1912. The Spanish term for Easter Sunday
is "Pascua Florida meaning Feast of Flowers"
t has reference to the flowers with which the
churches in Spain are decorated on that day.
Whether the state named Florida from it's
being discovered on this day or simply from the
"flowery" aspect of the country it is hardly safe
to say.
Florida has the longest coast line of any state
One third of it's population is coored. 1t is known
as the land of flowers, and lis the winter play
ground of Eastern America. Tallahassee is the Cap
ltal. the state being admitted to the Union in
845. The motto ''In God We Trust" appears on
The state seal ard the orange blossom is the
stat flower.

THE GOOD OLD WINTER TIME
BY Susie Sutherland, 9Th Grade.

One winter as the snow fell fast,
And lie upon the ground
l thought of nv dear old home,
And all the wirld around.
The Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1927-1930, 1929-03-14

And lie upon the ground
l thought of my dear old home,
And all the wirld around. "a
The hills are steep
The snow lies deep
The waves are rolling high
| saw the snow come down so fast,
When I thought that spring was night.
The trees they dropped,
But the children hoped
And they all played around
They seemed as they were glad to see
The little flakes come down.
The showing then ceased
But the clouds went on
And the wind blew awful hard
1t took the snow from off the ground,
And drifted it in the yard.
l thought how dear it would be
To see spring come again
To see the pretty leaves and flowers
That it would surely bring
Then l thought of summer
Oh! 1t would be the BEST
Now think of autumn
Just as I did the rest.
One seasons as good as another
Winters as good as either one,
For when it is hot in summer
We're glad to see winter come.
Now the chickens have gone to roost,
And I will go to bed too,
So l can go to school tomorrow
And learn my lessons through.
I'll say good night" to everyone
AS everyone should say
And I hope to awake and find to-morro
Another happy day.

THE SUMNER THOUGHTS
BY Mabel Penland

BY Mabel Pen1and
1t won't be very long til
Summer will be here,
And all the world around
Oh! Won't it be dear.
Then all the children could go bathing
Way out in the sea
There'd be smiles on every face
And happy as can be-
Soon summer will be over,
And winter will come back then
Well be glad to say goodby to the flowers,
And play in the snow again.

of Old Nick" Is
Comment

1t was the most informal
and altogether delightful
party I have ever been to at
the White House, was the
description Of a guest at the
dinner given last evening by
the President and Mrs.
Hoover in honor Of the
United States Ambassador to
Great Britain and Mrs.
Dawes and the United States.
Ambassador to Cuba and
Mrs. Guggenheim, who are
guests at the White House.
! The group was small
enough to permit the guests
to be seated. in the Blue
1 Room, after the dinner was
over, when coffee was served
to the ladies-the men having
gone with the President up
stairs for smokes and cof-
fee.
Fire Blazed
In the Blue Room-the most
charming of the first floor
suite-a fire blazed from the
hearth casting a warmth and
dissipating pleasingly the for
maIty of the stately chamber.
According to some of the
guests, this was the first time
that a fire had been lighted in
the Blue Room since "the Mon
foe's were there"-which would
seem to make it q historic
event. The fireplaces in all
the rooms are: kept ready for
lighting apparently-the pieces
Of wood arranged in neat criss-
cross patterns.
Dawes Dignity?
Ambassador Dawes has evi-
IDENTIFY taken on none of the
traditional British dignity and
has lost some of the American
austerity tn at characterized
him when he presided over the
SENATE Chamber.

fact, was just full of the Old
