WAKENVA WORKERS
BUY DEFENSE BONDS

The Wakenva Local 6674, of
UMWA, announced this week the
purchase of three $500 defense
bonds. These purchases were
made from funds in the treasury
of the local.
So far as known, this is the
largest amount Of bonds bought
by any organization within the
county. Officials of the Wakenva
local stated that all miners there
were buying bonds individually.
This holds true at every industry
in the county, evidence that la
Dor in Dickinson instead of inn
peding defense work, as has been
stated by some critics, is taking
the lead to help win the war.

Court Decides
Smith I ak
Case Monday

Court adjourned early this
week to reconvene next Monday
morning, at which time Judge
Alfred A. Skeen will heal few
minor cases.
Judge CantWell of BRISTOL was
here Monday and TUESDAY Of this
week to hear cases II Which
Judge Skeen had disqualified
himself. In the civil matter OF
j. C. Smith VS.. Dickinson Coun-
ty, Mr.. Smith was awarded the
sum of $2,045 for services III con
nection with the collection of de-
linquent taxes from the STANDARD.
Banner Coal Corporation Of Wa
kenva. This amount represented
ten percent commission on all
taxes collected, including delin-
quent taxes of 1889 and 194t.
Upon the advice of Common
wealth Attorney, Hansel Elem
ing, the board of supervisors in
making settlement with J. e.
Smith, delinquent tax collector
did not pay any commission OH
taxes collected from the Stand
ard Banner concern. The attor-
ney for the Commonwealth con-
tended that the boards contract
with Mr. Smith was illegal and
that a twenty per cent commits
sion was too much compensation.
Judge Cantwell held that the
agreement between the board OF
supervisors and Mr.. Smith was
legal contract The court COM
mented that the board of super
visors, in his opinion, used sound
judgment in awarding Mr.. Smith
the contract on the percentage
basis in order that large case
of this nature would balance
smaller collections on which the
delinquent tax collector received
very little compensation, point
ing out that as little as seventy
cents compensation had been re-
ceived by Mr.. Smith in some in
stances.

Register May
4-5-6 or Sugar
K ationing Cards

All sugar sales in the United
States will be halted at midnight
on April 81 for approximately
enc week, government officials
announced recently. This step
was ordered as a step prepara-
tory to sales under the rationing
system. Individuals or families
will register on May 4, 5, 6, and
7 at their nearest elementary
school. Wholesalers, retailers and
other industrial users must reg
lister at their nearest high school
on April 1928. According to the
superintendent of schools in Dick
enson County, nearly every
school will have completed its
term before May 4.
At the meeting of the school
board here on April 2 it Is
thought that the board will re-
commend that the closing day Of
school be postponed until May 4.
In other words, citizens desiring
to register in this county (and
you must register if you wish tc
buy sugar) should go to their
nearest elementary school on
NAV 4. If citizens cannot reach
school on that day, it will be
necessary for them to come to
CHntwood to register at the OF
flee of the superintendent. One
member Of a family can register
the entire household. He or she
will fill out and sign an applica-
ton giving the name, age and
address of each applicant and
amount of sugar on hand. Each
person will receive war ration.

Consumers will give stamps to
store keepers when purchases are
made and the store keeper, in
turn will use the accumulated
STAMPS when he buys fresh sup
plies. It is estimated the regis
tration will require five min

who registers. Industrial users
will use certificates instead of
stamps. Additional supplies will

that Raleigh's colonists brought with
them the seeds of plants and herbs
which they grew in England.
Gypsies, on their jaunts about the

AS they travelled, they gathered the
seeds for making teas. They firmly

Almost every one has made tests
with pebble waves" Tossing a
pebble into lake or pool we see a
splash. Then little waves spread out
all around the place of the splash.
The pebble waves are best seen on a
calm day when wind does not whip
up large waves.
Waves of much the same kind are
made by sounds. There is an i'm
portant difference, however. Pebble
waves do not rise high into the air,
but sound waves spread out in all
directions
If bell rings, the sounds go to
points above, below and outward.
That always happens when the bell
is in the midst of air, and when the
sounds are not blocked by some
nearby object.
Yet a bell can be rung in a sense
of the word, without any sound COM
ing from 1t. Let us suppose we have
a glass Jar with bell inside 1t. BY
swinging the jar, we can make the

At first we hear sounds coming
from inside the jar, through the

of pump to take air out Of the jar.
