ward, had an incision made into his
forearm and blood transferred from
his own body to that Of his slster.in-
law The operation was performed
Monday. and Tuesday morning It was
stated that the condition Of Mrs, Nor
gan was considerably improved.
Dr.. ]. R. Caldwell was the attending
physician and he was assisted by Drs-
schwinn, Fullerton and Andrew VII,
son. Mr.. Kane's arm was sore Tues
day as a consequence Of the opera
ton, but It is thought the soreness will
not continue long.
Mrs. Morgan has been III for many
weeks and her life has been despstred
Of. The physicians decided that the
only means which could be used to
prolong her life would be by the trans
fusion Of blood.
Mr.. Kane was asked If he would
consent to undergo the operation Of
having one Of his arteries tapped, and
this he consented to have done. Mon
day a small hole was made in Mr.
Kanes arm, and a silver tube inserted
in the blood vessel. The same was
done in the arm Of the patient, aud
the two connected. The breathing Of
Mr.. Kane forced the blood through
the tube into the body Of Mrs. Morgan

tity had been transfused.
The operation is one Of the most
delicate that can be performed. AMI

OF Mr.. Kane to undergo 1t.

Why?

1t is because we have added our en-
tire weekly subscription list to these
two issues. The Weekly West Viz.
sinion is the Oldest paper published
in Marion county; was established in
1868, and has big list Of as loyal sup
porters as any paper published in
west Virginia. The merchant who
uses these two Issues not only gets
the benefit Of the best local medium
but reaches class of people out OF
town who have not heretofore been
appealed to for trade through the col
umns Of the daily paper. This plan Of
giving our weekly subscribers two
papers week for the price Of one
has proved to be very popular and
our liberal offer is bringing in numbers
Of new subscribers daily. YOU GET

THESE DATES FOR THE PRICE OF
ONE.

The heavy green grass often bends
the teeth of the elevator bars of the
loader. The teeth may be reinforced
by mailing blocks of wood on the ele-

In filling the silo the material must
be evenly spread and thoroughly
tramped, so that all of the air possible

much of the ensilage will spoil. Two
principal methods are in use by farm

In the first the freshly cut grass is
dropped directly into the silo with a
hayfork. Two men in the silo spread
the material and tramp it thoroughly,

the fork fall, requires but little tramp

Statistics recently compiled by the
United States department of agricul-

100000 miles of public roads in this
country, only small percentage Of

will be many years before large per-

improved, and in the meantime it is
of the utmost Importance that we
make the best possible use of facili-

roads, and it is safe to say that the
