A GOOD COMBINATION.
Street Suit of Ecru PIque with Wool
is Decidedly Pretty and
Effective,

1t is a decided innovation to have
ecru pique combined with wool for
a street suit, but the combination ia
pretty and effective. The pioue ts
used for collars, cuffs, band around
the skirt and panels. The one gown
which has been seen so far In this
new fashion belonged to a girl who
gets the latest cry from Paris. and 1t
is pretty and effective enough to serve
as model. 1t was made in the long
lines as to skirt and coat which pre-
vailed in the winter and of the three-
piece variety. The foundation was of
Henrietta cloth, dull brown, shading
almost into gray. The skirt barely
cleared the ground, and panel wise

ing out until they almost met when
the four pieces reached the hem. The
entire surface of the qique, which was
OF golden brown, was braided in metal
lie effect, with abundant penwork In
sets edged in gold. The collar and
cuffs on the long coat were of pique
and the same panel effect was noted
down the back and on the fronts Of
the coats. The waist was of soft silk
with the same pique insets and cob
lar OF gold braid.--New York Press

Ever Welcome Flower,.

The petunia is of remarkably easy
culture and makes a brilliant and con-
slant show. For beds where q bril-
liant color display is desired. few an
nuals surpass the Shirley poppy. It's
petals have the sheen Of silk. Some
flowers are double and some are sin
gle. The colors range from purest
white to scarlet. The nasturtium is
old-fashioned, but 1t has held favor
against newcomers. 1t is one Of the
easiest flowers to grow, flourishing In
almost any soil where there is good

Attempts to Injury City.

Vicious and prejudiced attacks up
on the manufacturing Industries of
this community by certain opposition
to the proposed bond issue have con-
veyed the impression out of town
that the people of Clarksburg are an

be tolerated.

hitherto looked upon Clarksburg as
one of he leading Industrial, enter

Honse Cleaning sIay BE- Needed.

If all the powers attach to the joint
committee of the state senate and
house Of delegates, investigating
state institutions, which would have
been conferred upon the special COM
mittee suggested by Delegate Moore
for the penitentiary scandal. then,
perhaps, the house did well enough
NOT to appoint the special committee.
But. the regular committee, IL it has
not those powers. such as the swear
ing of witnesses and the summoning
of all men It may need to examine
to make the investigation complete,
then the legislature should immed-
iatly confer those powers. In any
event, the committee should exercise
such powers to the fullest extent
given it.
The committee has a solemn duty
to perform and that duty should be
done without fear or favor. 1t may
find there should be house cleaning,
and the seriousness of the case as
pointed out by the Charleston Mail

State School 10. Fartners.


Two Harrison county farmers, who
are attending the winter course at
the State university at Morgantown
write the Telegram in manner that
indicates they fully appreciate the
course and believe it ought to be
taken by great many more farm
ers in the county. They express
themselves so earnestly on the sub,
ieet that it is a real pleasure to the
. Telegram to call attention to what
they say. First they express the de-
sire for editorial space in order to
cause the Harrison county farmers -
take advantage of the free informa-
tion that may be had at the univer-
sity in the winter course, which is es.
peclally for the farmers.
Farming in this age, as they truly
say, is business that must the man
aged by trained men and those who
are unframed can not hope to COM
pete with men who have the training.
The hope is expressed that the
press of the State viii bring this to
the minds of the West Virginia farm
ers, so that next winter there may
be a number from every county 50
that the university can then give
them what is due them.
So long as the farmers will not
patronize the States agricultural
school or department they can no.
have a school such as they need.
Indeed, they should have a building
instead of a department of agricul-
turc, which, in fact, is now but y
side Issue.
These two farmers, writing the
Telegram, declare that the agricul-
tural school should be the main de-
partment, and will be, if the farm
ers will patrouize it.
The West Virginia farmers are mea
of good common sense, but like ALI
others they can not have too much
training or he too familiar with the
latest and best methods, science and
knowledge in general. 1t may be
said Of them that they should be
specialists. But. TO be the best they
must have the training. which to-
gether with experience will place
them on a proper and successful
plane. IT is hoped all farmers will
reflect seriously on the suggestions
made and avail themselves OF such
opportunities as the State gives and
which they can create by co-opera-
tlon.
