Watkins, our supply man, to whom no small measure of credit is due for this showing. Mr. Watkins has shown an untiring interest in reducing the cost to the minimum by reclaiming old bolts, valves, etc. About two thousand bolts have been reclaimed during the year, also many valves and other articles. Our schools opened September third with the following teachers in charge: C. H. Bailey, principal; Misses Ruth Scott, Alice Jo Sampson, Mayme Appling, Olena Miles, Mabel Goode, Jettie Balengee and Bertha Nefflin. Students attending college from Maben this year are E. R. Pryor, Jr., and Harold Pryor at Marshall; Clifford Hartley and Jack Shipman at West Virginia University; Lee Hodson and Ted Robinette at Morris-Marvey. Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Bonallo had as their guests for several days Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bryson and children, of Philadelphia. While here, Mr. Bryson was taken to the woods camps, and observed the cutting and skidding of timber, as well as the manufacture and care of the lumber at the mill. Being a carpenter and builder, he was highly pleased with his visit and the courtesies shown him. Cooperation of the crew was requested in the reduction of waste at a meeting of the planing mill personnel held September tenth from 5:30 to 6 p. m., under the direction of T. G. Bonallo, chief inspector. Mr. Bon- nallo called attention to a statement he had prepared showing that a commendable reduction had been made in percentage of waste for the first eight months this year. He asked the men to reduce it further by two per cent. Members of the crew might wonder, said Mr. Bonallo, why he continually "harped" on the reduction of waste and he continued by showing how this factor was a vital one in the successful operation of the lumber business, not only from the viewpoint of material, but in time and money. He asked each man, when he takes hold of a piece of lumber, to look at it as representing money and to handle every piece so as to get the highest value out of it. Stressing the value of concentration as the basis of good work, Mr. Bonallo declared that a man cannot get the best results unless he has his mind fixed on making progress, and that in order to accomplish anything worth while, one must strive continually to do his best, also that if a man expects promotion he must show that he is dependable and worthy; then if he tries hard enough, he will accomplish almost anything within reason. A play, "An Old Fashioned Mother" was given by the Epworth League at the community building Friday evening, September thirteenth. A great deal of credit should go to Ed Young for the success of the play, as he had charge of arrangements. A nominal admission fee was charged; the proceeds will be used for the league's benefit. The danger of mis-labeling flooring was called to the attention of the crew, and they were asked to be careful along this line. Don Lambert, foreman of the carpenter force, is in charge of the end pile construction along the high dock or hill yard at Maben. We have eighteen double bottoms built along this dock. Dr. B. O. Myers, of Matoaka, W. Va., arrived at Maben September tenth to take charge of the practice here, succeeding Dr. F. C. Banks, who has moved to Beckley. . . The death of Mrs. C. M.
