IN SPITE Of the cold weather con-
siderable building has been done in
MOrgontown this winter and as soon
as Spring opens great deal more will

This kind OF weather ordinarily would
be remarkable at this time of the

at nothing.
The farmers throughout the coun-
ty are getting their sugar camps in
readiness for an early start in max
ing maple syrup. The only thing
the farmer needs now in the sugar
line is a few sunny days to start the

IRL Hicks of Word and Works
warns those who have had the grip
to be very careful as to how they

A NUMBER of small houses would
rent very rapidly about town. Why
the people who have money to invest

We SEE it stated that fruit growers
expect large apple crop this year,
and give as reason that the early
cold weather prevented the sap from
rising In the trees, which when mod
crate weather continues until late in
the season, rises, and in subsequent
cold weather in the latter part of the
winter and early spring, freezes
greatly damaging the crop. The pres
emit condition of the trees is such that
no amount Of cold weather can ef-
