Dear Annie Laurie:
When a girl goes with a boy

lame for this? Now the first boy

Which should apologize, the boy or

Dot and Dash: I cannot see that

CHRISTIAN CLINTWOOD

Can we reconcile ourselves to the fact that
IChntwood in its existing condition, is anything
but Christian town and neighborhood? Why,
certainly not We have two fine churches of the
two leading denominations with long lists of
members on their books. Services are held in
lClintwood at least three four times a month
and Sunday school every Sunday. Then to say
THAT Clntwood is anything but Christian town
would be absurd, besides casting reflections up
on the best citlZenary of the town. a.
But let us view few of the existing conditions
before we draw our final conclusions about the
lovely town in which we make our place of
labode and in which we are, as citizens, compell-
ed to rear offSprings.
First Let us take up the criminal element of

west Virginia with a population under a thou

Clintwood? Why? This will be answered later.
do you realize that the citizenary of this town
seem to be Indifferent and non-attentive to the
present existing conditions of this town and
community? Why? This will also be discussed
later 1t is not only rumored, but it is fact,
THAT the officers of our town and county are far
from a hundred per cent efficient in their duty.
Well, there must be some cause for this
Second: How about the religious side of our
town? Do people attend church on Sunday or do
they pass the Lords Day at some kind Of amuse
Iment or loafing? Why? Certainly there is a

The answer to this question is unequivocay no.
The editor OF this paper has no stones to
throw or slurs to cast at anyone, whatever, but
but only to state the undeniable facts and condi-
lions just as they stand let it hit miss and in
no way endeavcr to exclude himself for he
stands as much convicted any anyone in this
town.
Now let us take up the first question and see
If there is true answer to it, We frequently
hear folks talking on the streets about crime
and and the deplorable conditions that exist in
Clintwood and about the ineficiency or, in other
words, the inability of our officers to suppress
the criminal element of our fair city, but if you
will take careful notice to this it is just imme-

SCIENCE AND THE FARMER

Science is perhaps the greatest help of the
farmer. One out of five prominent scientists in
America engaged in work of an agriculture
chemical nature.
AS the result of the extensive scientific agri-
cultural work going on, the percentage of tuber-
culosis cattle has been reduced from four to two
in the last decade.
Hog cholera is no longer a check to hog pro-
duction. Tck-infested cattle in the south are be-
ing reduced in number. Animal parasites have
been greatly reduced in number
Plant research of scientists has saved immense
sums to farmers Many plants from other
countries have been introduced. New plant di-
seases are guarded against.
Bud selection in the citrus industry has saved
the growers of California several million dollars
The above are only few of the great achieve
ments of science in relation to agriculture. Read
ing the news, it seems that a great percentage
of the new inventions and discoveries have to
do with the farm. Scientists seem interested in
the agricultural problems of the nation more
than in almost anything else
That is not surprising, agriculture being the
lgreat industry that it is. The surprising thing
lis that being such great industry, ard draw
ling the attention of the leading scientific minds
Iof this era, it has been unable to obtain action

marketing of it's products.

four hours and you hear nothing further from
it unless someone gives our officers tongue
flashing behind their backs. Now, with all due re

EXPECT to have fine cattle and fat horses when

you expect our officers, however efficient they
may be- to suppress crime and give you even the

citizens of this town and county permit this
that is just how long we, as citizens must en-
dure the present conditions of our surroundings.
1t is up to the citizens to shape the destiny of
the young generation.
Well, how about religious folks, and why
is our church and Sunday school attendance so
small? This has partly been answered in the
above, but there are more yet There is ques'

n-cursed element that daily surrounds you?
wish to state here that you cannot clean out the
criminal element of this town any other town
with law enforcement alone. There must be
some cooperative power working in conjunction
with the officers to successfully combat crime.
We fear that Clintwoods religion is more for
mality than it is a reality.

NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE

Another leaf falls from the treeof Time-and
1929 is with us.
Seeing the old year out and hailing the new
one is merry event that at the same time con-
tains deep element of tragedy 1t reminds us
that time is fleeing. Yet 1923 was a year rich
in accomplishments and adventures, and SO
marked by progress and prosperity that we-sure-
ly cannot complain of it's brevty.
This was the year of the twenty fifth ami
versary of flying; and the year of the thrilling
heroic, epoch-making jorney of the Graf Zeppn
This was year in which the good will among
nations was furthered as never before year
of peace and friendship.
This was the year when Sound and talking
motion pictures grew out of their infancy, when
the invention of the robot or mechanical man
gave promise of future essening of the labor
of men, when new machines like the combine
harvester were invented to tighten the strenuous
tasks of the farmer.
In this year radio was used TO an extent never
before approached-as in the vast nation
wide hook-ups of political utterances.
The advances in RADIO science, transportation,
medicine, social welfare and intellectual fields
during the past year have been many and
varied. The gains made in every department of
human activity makes us envsion 1929 a
tweNemonth of still greater progress. We conf
IDENTIFY look forward to year in which mankind
will make tremendous strides.

THE NEW COUNTRY DOCTOR

The country doctor has always been figure
invested with much romance. His willingness
to make any sacrifice for a patient, his general
ability and kindness, have been the theme of
song and story. Yet it is true that despite all
the admirable qualities of the country doctor,
he was unable to keep in touch with what medi
cine had discovered since he left training school
and had to rely upon old remedies.
The Albany Medical College seeks an endow-
ment of 100000, the chief aim being the Gre
alton of facilities which will enable practicing
physicians, and especially rural doctors, to keep
abreast with the progress of medical science

With Inc PoeIs
WHERE OLD VIRGINIA ENDS
BY Frank Monroe Beverly

Up on the top of Cumberland
Where Virginia ends,
And where Kentucky's atmosphere
With our own ether blends.
There roam the men of savage traits,
Too handy with the gun,
And if you get cross-wise with them,
You'd better quit and run.
For | have known the tender-foot
Changed to angel kind,
And while his soul flew heavenward,
His corpse remained behind.
There men distill the mountain dew
At so much money per,
And when you find your thirst a-groW
Tis quenchable up there.
But when they 'dulterate the stuff,
There's where the danger lies,
And if you die when you have drunk,
'Tis but mild surprise.
Some use balled I've to touch it off
'Tis only made to sell,
And when a man imbibes the stuff,
Too soon he feels unwell
If you should cross the Cumberland
Just leave your cash behind,
For | have heard of robbers there,
And they are quite unkind. r.
And there is where Virginia ends,
And where Kentuck' sets in;
If ugly feelings there you cross,
Then trouble will begin.

with erection of many of the most up to date
structures in this city, had the contract for the
job, while w l. Williams of Knoxville, Tenn,
was foreman.
The Nogales store is the 275th to be opened
by the great Mcclellan Stores Company chain sys-
tenn. tits the first to be opened by this great con-
Germ in Arizona and will be followed in the near
future by three more stores in Arizona-at Tue
son, Bisbee and Douglas
The Mcclellan Stores Company had it's begin
ming in August 1915. Originally started in the
East the big concern has been gradually working
West opening up stores at numerous important
points
P j. Fazio, who recently came here from
McAllen, Texas, is manager of the new Nogales
store. P. M. McNiven of San Antonio Texas,

The Nogales Mcclellan Store will employ
about 100 sales people at the start and for the
opening tomorrow special attractions in mer-
chandise are being offered.

FOREIGN BONDY|ST9
SHOWS FRESH GAIN
Reparations Agreement Has
Immediate Effect on All y
German Issues.
BY A r r. y A

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June News Of the
reparations agreement gave further
moderate strength to the foreign sec
ton of the listed bond market today.
The general appearance of the entire
list was not much changed, although
some high-grade domestic MORTGAGES
gained f~ractionally. while a few others
were slightly lower.
Further small sized advances were
made by the German obligations fol-
lowing yesterdays strength.
Gains Of half a point or so appeared
in the Agricultural Mortgage Bank Is,
the 6s of 1925 and the 1927 issue OF
the some coupon. Bonds of several
German municipalities also improved.
Silesia Bank IS dropped more than az
and then recovered on successive sales.
French. Belgian and Italian bonds
shared in the improved sentiment, but
the gains were unimportant.
In the domestic list both the Amer
ican n International Telephone con-
vertibleS moved forward several points
each. Atchison convertibles were
higher in sympathy with the advance
in the stock to a new high record
price. Most of the utilities of the bet
ter type were firm with an advance in
Philadelphia Co. Ss of almost a point.
International Cement SIS were strong
in the industrial section, where the tone
was irregular.
Rails showed a fair degree of firm
ness in narrow fluctuations. Demand
was again witnessed for Missouri
Pacific sips. which sold a point higher
than the previous closing.
Not much change developed in
United States Government issues, which
slipped off moderately in dull trading.

At SHORT SESSION
Rails and Utilities Hold Chief
Understanding
Is Quiet.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The stock
market ran into considerable week end
liquidation and closed irregular after
q quiet halliday session today. although
the reduction of 1892, 900 900 in brokers'
loans caused a moderate upturn
throughout the list in the first hour.
Operations were curtailed by the fact
that many traders. driven from town
by the hot weather, extended the Me-
mortal day holiday over the week end.
The rails were again well bought, as
IN increasing number of traders turned
bullish on this section Of the list on
the theory that the O'Fallon decision,
appearing in a falling market. had not
been discounted. The utilities enco,nt-
cred some prof1t-taking on yesterdays
sharp advance. but turned sharply up

ton conference was an important bull
ish development, in addition 10 the
reduction of brokers loans.

than a point to 1077s, the highest
since 1918. New York Central rose 2h
