A Worthy Appeal

Fairmount, w. Va, Dec. ID, 1907.
Dear Sir:--At Monongah, West
Virginia, five miles from Paramount. at
1890 a, M, Friday, December 6, 1907.
an explosion in Mine No. 6 and Mine
No. 8, OF the Paramount Coal Company
occurred. resulting in the death OF APP
proximately $50 employees.
Monongah is a mining town oil about
1000 inhabitants. This disaster has
destroyed almost onc-half OF its bread
winners. The other half is composed
OF the employees OF two other mines
OF the same Company, and OF the us
ual stores, etc, which go to make up
a purely mining community
Fully ESQ widows and 1000 children
are left without any means OF support.
The most of these families live in the
Company's houses at Monongah, the
remaining ones in various committees OF

The Farmer FIOurishes

This is a-grcat year for farmers.
Prices are much higher than ever, and
though the crop yield is smaller, the
aggregate OF the money that will be
received from the crops is far beyond
that OF last year, The american Ag-
riculturst' says:
The farmer was never in so healthy
position as he is o-day-fnancially,
socially, politically, mentally and spirit
ually," says the report. "1he increase
in the value OF his real estate has been
prodigious lie owes less money than
ever before. He has greater assets
than ever Again. the farmers wants
are greater. He is in the market for
more and better breeding stock, farm
implments household goods and other
merchandise"

DENT families must seek community

Aid must be given these families to

families living abroad must be provid-
ed for until they can adjust themselves
to their new conditions
As near as can be determined at this
iimc almost 10000 from all sources
has been subscribed Upon the basis
Of 5000 for each widow and $500 for
each child under 10 years OF age, $I7s,-
600 will be required. AT least $4,000
additional will be needed to provide,
on relatively the same basis, for the
aged dependents OF th unmarried vic
Tins, the many now unborn children
and the undoubtcd accessions TO the
married victims list when complete in
formation has been received.
The committee feels that a basis
lower than the above will not be ade-
quatc to properly care for the needs
OF the bcrcaved ones. and total Of
100000 will therefore be required to
carry out the relief work on this basis.
The immediate needs OF the resident
families are being amply met by the
Company and committee OF women
from Paramount and Monongah.
The committee begs to express its
profound gratitude for the contribu-
tons already so generously made, and
To earnestly appeal for the further as

great for West Virginia to alone rem

These fowls belong TO the class
known as Asiaiics and have been
bred, many, many years; they are
pretty well known in every part OF the
United States and have had great
popularity. Recently the Columbian
Wyandottcs have appeared and being
very similar 10 the light Brahna, It
was predicted that they would super
sede the Light Brahma. but they still
seem to be holding their own and give
promise Of still greater popularity III
the larger shows.
They are the largest fowls, the cock
weighing IL lbs. Their appearance Is
stately and commanding and their
pumage being black and white, Is
strikingly beautiful. For roasting
fowls they are unsurpassed, though
large, their meat is fine grained and OF
a delicious flavor. They are not so
active as many other breeds, consc-
quently they are soft-mcatcd and the
difference in the flesh OF an active
Leghorn and an "easy-going' Light
Brahma is very great.
They lay the largest eggs OF any
hens and the strain | have are most
excellent winter layers, though they
lay very few eggs in summer. The
hens make fine mothers. When |
brought my stock from Massachusetts
most OF those who saw them told me
they did not lay we'll and that they
spent most OF their time sitting; con
trary to this I have had no trouble
whatever with their wasting time Sit
