A whcDe train load of city sportsmen
left st. Paul day or so before the
chicken and duck season opened, Sept.
1, headed for the graintields and lakes
Of the northwest Those men, crack
shots from constant practice at clay
targets during the year and having the
best of dogs and repeating guns, sweep
the northwest like an army of Japs,
and it is small wonder that the old
granger who raises and feeds the
birds on his farm, while respecting the
law in general way, is morally insen-
sible touching the game laws when his
boys bag the birds on his farm before
these pirates can get them.

The home loving instinct is not con-
fined to man. The hen will seek her
regular roost at night, as will many Of
our birds. The eagle will seek the
same nest for twenty years If unmo-
Tested. Dogs and cats will travel by
instinct incredible distances to get
back to their old homes. A si1-weeks-
old sucking pig will. we know, find it's
way a distance Of two miles to its
mother. while man will face poverty
and toll a lifetime to wiring a misera-
BILE existence out Of sterile soil rath-
er than leave his old home. Thank
God for this love Of home, which in
spires the patriot, anchors restless feet
and, poor though it be, whether sitting
tenement in the crowded city, sod
dugout on the prairie or log house In
the wild woods. still holds out an in.
SEPARATION for good for every man.

Hall faction Major Moulton, for coun-

Both committees held meetings to-

The Grant Hall committee readily
agreed to the compromise but the 9TH

mittees adjourned until tomorrow to
further consider the matter.
The point in dispute IS the county
commissioner, as which ever side gets
him will get the balance of power in

power to the Hall faction, while it is
not likely that the Hall faction will

rank and file that the differences may
be compromised.

FAIRMONT is HIGHLY FAVORED

The people of Fairmont and vicinity
have less reason to complain of hard
times than any other section of the
State. While other sections are cry
ing against the hard times, work is
going on the same here. and, best Of
all, the pay day follows.
Work will begin on the switch to
the Fairmont Steel Ccmpany's plant
on the Industrial Company's grounds,
in a few days, as was mentioned in
yesterdays West Virginian. This
switch is about a mile and half long
and will employ a number of men, for
whose labor a large amount of money
will be put into circulation in this vi
cinity. This, in addition to the money
paid to the hands at the local facto-
ries and the $4,000 to be paid to-
morrow by the Fairmont Coal Com
pany, does not look like money will be
scarce here.

been made at the Democratic national

keep the plan secret SO as to save

him free to devote his, entire time to
