Dr. Minor W. Thomas ■ ■ f the Virginia State Teachers College has devised a method whereby school teachers xro paid for what their pupils learn, The pupils are given men tal tests at the beginning and end’ of each year, and those who have learned the most earn their instructors a $200 bonus. Each teacher is paid ID cents a day yach child present, A basic salary of $ ID a month for each year of CO liege possessed by the teachers is also in effect. The result, according to Dr. 1 homas, is that 2b per cent fewer teachers, receiving I j per cent nbift r the old average, are a to give one and one half trmes as knowledge t o I I per cent more pupils under the o Id system. “Invest In And Around Ortffl*” NOT MARTYRS, JUST SILLY Three Communists, arrested at Martin f erry.

I’he judge who wrote the opinion did not pass on the constitution ality of the law under which the Communists were sentenced; hr simply remarked that the inflammatory handbills they distributed were just plain silly and inconsequential. This action will do more lo slow up the Communists' work than the stiffest prison sentences that could have been pronounced. "Invest In And Around Griffin" THE TRAGEDY The tragedy of the mother who loses her son in war almost goes beyond the power of words to express. An Ohio war mother, visiting France with others who are going overseas to see son's graves, nrouaed the pity of crowds at Paris railroad terminal. She was in a men tal daze. Her mind was blank. She could not tell where she was. Her memory bad been lost, and doctors are hoping thrft the sight of her son s grave will restore it to her. Her condition speaks volumes about the tragedy of war. But there is a footnote to the story that tells even more, A French *• war mother, seeing her. came forward fc greet her. noticed her condition and turned away, murmuring, "Why can't I be like that? WKat could express more terribly the suf fering that war brings to mothara? A TWICE TOLD TALE—“ELLA BET »* Part 11 Yesterday we told #> f old man "Shaver" HI1 d his wife, f'.lla Bet " who lived in i a cabin i on a rocky half-acre where they worked mighty hard trying to make enough to put th cm away decent—so they would not have Ii be buried by the County. I'he old w<> man was a sort of fortune teller, and one day. while the old man was in town, peddling shallots, a Gypsy cairle along and persuaded woman to accompany his party to the South She didn t want to leave her ole man, but they had no room for him. Th« thought tnat she c( uld make enough, in twr for three nyonths. to keep Shaver from hov ing to work so hard caused her to climb intf the wagon and drive away—mopping the hit , tears from her sunken eyes.

He went to his house im mediately, reported the matter to his wife, 1 and su iiggested following the old woman and i j bringing her back; but the wife said, "No, Jot the old hag go; and let the old man think she is lost, or 1 something.

The ; very man who saw her leave accompanied him and they ca lied and hunted through the woods ancl up and down the creek. Several neighbors joined in the search, which was continued into the night.

His only reply was. I tol ye sue wuz t a’ angul." The old man hobbled out into the words and dug up two small cedars, one of which’ ! be planted at the head of her grave, a nd the J other where the head of his grave would be Passers-by would often see hint silting by the mound, patting it gently and censuring him I self for having stayed in town so jfTdg.....Thai 1 cay.
