Sir: You have heard Of the terrible calamity which
beiel Central japan on October rs. As oommunlca-
tion Is obtained with places before unhcard from.
becomes certain that the misery and devastation are
vastly worse than has been supposed. In one
mountain village, for example, every individual was
either killed crippled, and not one was able to 60
for aid to the neighboring towns. The total number
Of persons left homeless will reach half a miloa.
Their fields roads dlkes. potteries, tools and shops
have In many cases been destroyed, and even tho
means OF livelihood have thus been taken away. Tho
coming winter will greatly aggravatc The distress OF
their condition.
Every thing Is being done here that can be done.
But the people OF our country perhaps do not realize
that Japan is comparatively poor country. Under
the circumstances her for giving relief are
not adequate. She cannot but look abroad for some
assistance 1t Is from the United States that most
may be expected. England and the Continent are
strained to relieve the suffering impending nom
the European cereal famine. The plentiful resources
Of our own country, and especially the uniquely
prosperous condition In which the abundant harvests
will place her, justify us in appealing to our country

West Virginia.

The Weston Democrat is doing IFS
share TO boom West Virginia, as the
following paragraphs will show:
West Virginia! The eyes OF the
world are turning upon you.
Indications now point to gem
eral boom in this section ofthe State
in the spring.
If capitalists and foreigners knew
the extent of mineral and timber
resources West Virginia would not
long remain in her present condi-
ton.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
the finest timber lands in the world
are to be found in West Virginia
and it can be bought for below its
realvalue.
The extent and measure of the
new awakening in the State should
not depend too largely upon foreign
capital. If we have unbounded
wealth and ineXhaustable resources
it is no reason it should be given
away Let some OF the enterprise,
energy and foresight be DISPLAYED
by our own people along with other
capitalists who arc willing to oin
in the development of our country
What the interior of our State most
needs is a proper publication set

ducements we can offer 20 ca is5sSalists
who are seeking safe investments,
