There's alius two or three.
Old bono heads, sore heads In a town.
That work front night 'till mornln'
Tryln' to keep Industry down,
And they'll stand and tell ye
Q'Hout tho sorry times that's goln' to be.
%/ And how taxes will envelop,
' All that's dear to you and me
/ With hands down In their pockets.
And terbacker In their Jaw,
They'll stand and spit and shake their
Head, and squint their eyes and rhaw
A tryln' to Impress you with
Their ponderous information,
When their Ignorant ns the animals.
That God made, at Creation.
And their heads Is so ilern hard.
Ye couldn't break 'em with a rock.
And tho only thing Inside o' them.
Is Knock, Knock, KNOCK?
Why Heaven spares the knorkor,
And tho snake. Is queer to me.
When both o' them. Is venomous,
As venomous can be? /
When war starts with the Japanese.
1 think a right good stunt.
Would be to uut the bone head knock

AH right in the trout.
So when the bnttle started.
With its amoke and shot and shell,
it wouldn't be a n.lnute,

There i3_ a wonderful walnut tree
somewhere "tip stream from Cincinnati.
Just where it la, no man seems to
know, it gels its nuts into the Ohio
river and they wash down fo a certain
place and lodge against a certain dam
near Cincinnati. That is all we kdow
nhout the location, hut I certainly wiah
;wc knew more, for tine are wonderful'
nuta. perhaps the best In America !
Tito shape of the empty sheila seems
to indicate that the kernel comes out
hole, almost as English walnut ker I
jiels do.
.. Some one must know thnt tree. Who)
isbe? Where does he live'.' Perhaps i
|te reads this paper, for this locality is
drained by the stream that carries
*' these mysterious nuts. A Cincinnati
lawyer with a tree crop lobby. Is so
much interested In the starting of a
new Industry that he Is offering $.">.00
to any one who can tell him where this
tree grows.
It may be of grea* importance to
'{he country, for an.orchard of grafted
black walnut trees of the best strain
Would be a splendid piece of property.
The Northern Nut Growers' Association

i But to return to the Honor Roll
.'race?and it surely was a literal race
vf-Mrs. Jeannettc Ford, of Fairmont,
was found to have turned In the largest
report, and thus secured the coveted
posltiun on today's Honor Roll.
/ and wins the large two-pound box of
Huyler'a Chocolates. We wish to take
Ais opportunity of congratulating Mrs.
Ford and her large circle of friends
who are so loyally supporting her efforts.
Miss Klwilda Miller, of Fairmont,
was a very close second for the Honor
Roll position. The diilerence in these
fnrn roonetc utoo vuimi omoll U?-?? U In
, dies should be highly commended on
i their efforts.
i Honor ltoll and the 'ree Huyler's
Chocolates close Saturday night. These
last two days are going to be busy
ones, so it you are holding any subscriptions
now, be sure to/ get thein in
on time to secure u position on the
- Honor Holl some day this week.
This the Big Week.
This is the big week. This week 1
everyono is lining up to support the
candidates ot their choice, and will,
start the preliminary struggle, which
will return many candidates winners !
in a few more weeks. You must do ]
your part this week, to help make it |
I the biggest week ot nil. This week
you hear rumors and rumors and rumors.
The wise ones will attempt to
give you advice, which, if you heed,
will bo sure to have a bearing on your!
credit when the winners are nnnounc- i
ed. Many are trying to compare tills!
campaign to other campaigns which
have gone before. To such, the Manager
can but offer a word?don't do it.
There is just one way to win in the
Golden Festival, and that is to do your
very best eacb day, as the days go hy.,
* Do not put off your hardest work until I
the last few weeks or the last few '
days, for If you do, you will lose far
more than you will gain?remember
that. The peoplo who really want to
win are working every day, and when
you make up your mind to go to work,
a few ria>#, or weeks before tbe end,
you will find that the territory has
been covered and the subscriptions
which you were depending upon have
been given to Borao one else.
Plan to make each day ? day of ac
tual accomplishment. Get Rome votes
r and subscriptions from somewhere.!
somehow.
Festival Very Even.
There has been no change in tho
comparative standing of tho leaders
in The West Virginian's Great Golden
Festival for nearly two weeks. Everyone
who is near the top sopiur to real-i
ize that be must keep working to hold j
his commanding position. .Many of |
tho others are realizing that a little
well-directed effort will bring them
closer and closer tho leaders us each
day comes to a close. No doubt there
will be some who are close to tho front
. now who will lose their positions at.
> the end of the week, by over-contir
deuce. There are a few who seem to I
feel that they have rcservo enough.
To these tho Manager can but offer
the oft repeated word of advice: <
f " 'Tls better to win by a mile than lose
by a foot."
How to Win.

the sacred circle In the Altar of Heaven.
That particular end'of the world

"The Manager reserves the right to

FOOD PRICES.
Tho wholo explanation of tlie whyre
of the food prices is this:
In Europe thev get the benefit out
one stick of cum that we get out of
o. In other words, we row the boat
id they steer, or yet some more; we
rry the hod and' they shuffle the
icks.
It's always been an unsolved mysry
why tho manufacturers of this
untry break their necks supplying
ufr to European countries that sells
r half and some more below what we !
ly for it here. Why. right in Chlgo,
where they build more meat
nti lugersoll does watches, the nates
haven't even had an Informal
traduction to meat while over In Eupe
even the most humble wear
nerican-madc salt pork for a sortrout.
"Charity begins at home." and tho
ty things look there's "nobody homo"
this country.
But wait, let's have some fun. Let's
