BOOK REVIEW
BY Frank Monroe Beverly

The English People of the
educated class unhesitatingly
make the statement that Amer
leans have been the chief Of
tenders in the corruption of our
language. There is undoubted-
ly much truth in the assertion.
That the English language has
been and is being corrupted, we
may accept as fact, regard.
less of the question Of respon-
sibility.
INSTRUMENTATION and hazy
idea as to the meaning of so
many words in common use are
two faults easily found even a.
mcng those who make preten-
sion to considerable facility in
the use of English. This condit-
ion should be met and overcome
in the schoolroom. This phase
of education receives far less at
tention in the public schools
Cnan is necessary TO meet the
requirements for what might
be termed fair education. In

ID. E. LLEWELLYN PASSES
TO HIS REWARD.

We have just learned of the
death of MFR. D. E. Llewellyn,
of Wise, Va, the funeral being
conducted at Wise today. Mr..
Llewellyn came to this country
several years ago as a civil and
mining engineer from Wales,
England. After working in the
coal fields of West Virginia for
some time came to Wise as
construction engineer for the
company who opened up the
mines and built the town of
Esserville. He also done extern
sive work in Dickinson and
Buchanan Counties in the way
of land surveying and prospect
ing for coal and has valuable
records of his work in these
counties.
In 1918, Mr.. Llewellyn accept
ed the position of consulting,
Engineer with Steinman Coal
Corporation, then the Steinman
Development Company, and it
was under his management as
engineer that the mining camp
of the above named company
was built. During his stay with
this company and during his
many years of labor in this and
Buchanan County he made
many lasting friends and ac-
quaintances, who are, no doubt,
stricken with sorrow to learn of
of his death. y
Mr.. Llewellyn had been in de-
Ginning health for several
months having some disorder
of the stomach, but did not com
plain a great deal.
Our sympathies are extend
ed to the family and relatives
of this noble gentleman in this
hour of great bereavement.

MOTHS, HUMMING BIRDS

THAT the sphinx-mo1h turns into a
l. butterfly is common belief all
over the United States. In some sec
tons this superstition is varied to the
effect that the sphinx-nloth is a cross
between butterfly and hummng
bird, or huInming bird that has been
changed into a moth. In nearly all
cases 1t is the moth known as the
morning-sphinx, very common winged
insect OF striking appearance. that is
meant. This superstition is, of course
merely a survival of the ancient belief
in the change of one living entity into
another of different species as a
man into wolf, a womanin into plant
AS Daphne was changed into II
laurel-Or a flower into a bird or u
butterfly. Any one form of life was
supposed to be capable of suffering a
change into another by the primitive
mind. There Is an old Chinese belief
tina: sparrows when they become old
dive into the sea and become clans
Then there is the well known barn
acle goose" SO strongly believed in
down to comparatively recent times
which was asserted to spring from
barnacles growing on trees. That one
animal might become changed into an
other was a thing not to be doubted
by our ancestors-and ancestors not
so very far removed. either To print
tive man there was nothing in this
metamorphOsiS to conflict with his dai
ly experience. nothing more wonderful
than that which was taking place all
around him. When he saw an egg
changed into bird. or a tadpole into
frog. 1t appeared the most natural
thing in the world that hummine
bird should change into moth. OF
that a moth should change into a hum
ming bird. The striking celebrations OF
the morning sphinx moth suggests
humming bird much more than the
tadpole suggests the bulfrog. The
American Folklore society found
this moth-humming bird superstition
existing in this country from Maine to
California 1t is striking example OF
the survival of the ancient belief In
metamOrphosis

No Road Yet

The way the State Highway
Department has proposed to
build the road from Georges
Fork to Pound is very discour-
aging to the citizens as well as
to the good road enthusiasts.
The idea of just part or half
way doing a piece Of road work
is not sanctioned by the folks
of Dickinson county. If we only
get a stone base on this piece
of road this year, we will be
put out of the use of the road
this summer and will not have
any road when it is finished.
Why not complete the job as
far as we go?

EXPERT ON HORSES TO
EXPLAIN COLT BREAKING

The breaking of colt is large
factor in determining it's future USE
fulness. Regardless of how large an
animal is, how desirable it's type, or
how good its breeding, it will be of no
value as work animal unless it is
properly trained to hitch and drive.
On the other hand, an improperly
broken horse may be a serious men
ace to property and human life.
Because of it's interest to farmers
and horse lovers generally, the sub
ject of "How to Break Colts Correct
ly'' has been included in the animal
husbandry program for Farmers and
Homemakers' Week at University
Farm, ST. Paul, January 20 to 25.
Harry d. Linn, Des Moines, Iowa,
field representative for the Iowa
Horse and Mule Breeders association
will explain this subject and will also
demonstrate "How to Hitch and
Drive Five and Six-Horse Teams"
Extensive programs will also be
given by the animal husbandry divi-
sion on beef cattle, sheep, swine and
general livestock problems. One ques-
tion in which every farmer will be
deeply concerned is whether the
farmer should buy or grow his live
stock feeds. This is to be discussed
by w. H. Peters, chief of the animal
husbandry division. The work on
hogs will deal with swine judging,
the selection of breeding hogs, inn
proved swine feeding methods and
similar points.
All of the talks and demonstrations
will be thoroughly practical. Short
course visitors will be allowed to ask
questions and time will also be given
for conferences with members of the
animal husbandry staff.
