Harrison county folk are also
glad to read the following taken
from the Clay County Free Press:
zone OF the most interesting fea-
lures Of the institute last week was
"a talk Wy this cultured gentleman on

Mr.. Reed say his discourse was full
OF thought and humor. and that 1t
was gem of eloquence. Mr.. Reed
has many warm friends in Clay, who
are always glad to see him." !
The Democrats have just discover
ed that Congressman w. P. Hubbard
will not be candidate for the
United States senate. The Republi-
cans have known that a long time.
The Telegram doubts whether Mr..
ever had any idea OF con.
testing for the United States senate.
1t was only Democratic nightmare
In the first place. Mr.. Hubbard has
a good Job now and ought to be
thankful II he is renominated and re-
elected. He is probably glad to let
Senator Scott alone, which reminds
the Telegram that Mr.. Hubbard
knows he has a big bone of his own
and has concluded to let the other
fellows bone alone.

service that merits commentator
The president of the chemistry sec.
ton declared that medical men gen.
orally should take a strong stand
against. the faddish tampering with
the dietary of the people. Old GUS
toms based upon long race expert
ence and under which humanity had
always thrived should not be lightly
thrown aside in obedience to the
dictates OF irresponsible teachers.
There is no doubt that a halt
should be called on the activities OF
the food cranks who are trying to
convince the world that the ex'
perience OF the ages with regard to
diet is all wrong. The especial
danger is that large numbers OF In
nocent persons, easily Influenced
who take up with any new thing,
are induced to make radical expert
ments in diet and rarely discover
the injury they are infiicting on
themselves until it is too late for
remedy. The Anglo-saxon race.
which leads the world, has built up
Its Drawn and brain on mixed diet.
The vegetarian races are the Inferior
ones. Since the Japanese began to
eat meat they are said to have i'm
proved wonderfully in size and
stamina. There are persons whose
peculiar conditions necessitate a
special and carefully arranged diet
from which they should not depart,
but they are the exceptions. The
food faddist would put us all on the
sick list and make vs. tinicky about
our eating. The result would be
general invalidism. That is why the
faddists should be sternly dlscour-
aged.

Makes Connection with Large
Number of Rural Lines
in This Section.


The Bell Telephone. Company is
making vast number Of Improve
ments in the rural districts throughout
its territory, and the people of the
community are being greatly benefit
ed by the changes. The Bell Com
pany is ever mindful of the wants of
its subscribers, and by the extension
of its lines, fully 1000 more people
can be reached. 1t has made con-
nections with many of the smaller
companies in this section, and it is
now possible to reach most any town
or village in the community no mat
ter how distant.
Among the improvements that the
Bell company is making at this time
in which the people are interested in
is the building of two metallic circuit
lines from clarksburg to Fainmont;
the building of a line from Tairmont
to Morgantown; the building of a line
from Morgantown to Kingwood; the
building of a line from Morgantown to
Uniontown, and the building of q line
from Clarksburg to Salem. All these
are metallic circuit lines
The construction of these lines with
their extension and connections with
rural companies makes It possible for
the Bell subscribers to talk to thou
sands of people that cannot be reached
any other way.
The line from Morgantown is new
one and at Kinswood d modern ex-
change will be installed.
The Bell Telephone Company has
made a special effort to cover the
rural districts In this part of the state.
How we'll 1t has succeeded can be de-
termined when its achievements are
known.
The Bell Company has connected its
lines with the Marion Telephone Com
pany of worthington. and has
stretched direct metallic circuit line
from Worthington to Fairmont. For
merry to get Worthington one would
have to talk through Shinnston. This
is free service to clarksburg subscribe

business Moving Along Nicely.

The Clews resume at the end Of
the week gives no cause for discour-
agement in business. as it shows
conditions to be sound and satisfac-
tory with the volume steadily in-
creasing. In part Clews says:
In the business outlook there Is
less enthusiasm than two or three
weeks ago Immediately after the
settlement of the tariff. This is
probably due to failure of extrava-
CANT expectations to materialize;
also to deterioration in the corn and
cotton crops which took place in
August. The yield of both these
great staples will now fall below
earlier expectations.
The corn crop may still favor us
with the biggest yield on record;
but somewhat serious deficiency is
practically certain in cotton owing
to prolonged drouth in the South
west, and this cannot but have re-
tarding effect upon sections where
the shortage Is greatest.
Some compensation will be de
rived by the high price of cotton,
but prosperity in the South will be
spotty, and some of the railroads
will have much less cotton to carry
than usual. The lower prices real
lied for corn must also affect the
West.
Last year the corn crop was val
ued at $1,000, 100000 and cotton at
100000, 900, and it is now ques-
tionable whether either OF these two
crops will exceed in value the yield
OF 1908. 1t had been estimated that
this years agricultural products
would reach the sum Of $4,000, O0O,-
600, compared with s7,700,000, 600
last year. The figure still seems
possible in view of the better yield
and good prices for many other
crops; but the too hopeful harvest
expectations of month ago have
certainly been modified by last
months unfavorable weather condi-
tions.
In spite, however, of the tonlns
down of extreme optimism, the
business situation is very satisfac.
tory; bank clearings in August were
more than 80 per cent. ahead of !,
year ago; trade is steadily increas.
ing in volume; conditions are sound
and there is every prospect for con.
tinued expansion during the remain
der of the year.
At no time since the panic has
the volume of trade been so large,
and it is several years at least since
the relations between production,
consumption and credit have been So
sound and satisfactory as they arc
today.

The Big "New. Fair.

The New Fair Association" has
ideal grounds.-more than thirty
iacres,-nlcely laid off for racing
and other fair purposes. The
grounds have been converted into a
lovely park, with the trees large
enough toSgiye plenty of shade. Ev-
cry part OF the race track is to be
seen from every point on the
grounds.
The half mile track Is among the
best to be found in the country and
several record-breaking races have
been run on it. The horse stables
are all modren and strictly up-to-
dabe, affording comfort for both
horse and driver. They are ample
in number for the two hundred
horses that will be here for the APP
preaching fair, which will be held
on the new" grounds September
21-2-3-4.
The racing always draws a large
number of visitors from the centers
OF population not only in this state
but also several adjoining states as
the new" track has fame far and
wide.
Exhibitions and performances by
the famous Hathaway Hunt Club. of
Plttsburg, are also worth several
times the price OF admission and
they will prove the center OF at
taraction to the thousands of peo-
pie. This is something new in this
section of country and already wide.
interest is being manifested in this
feature OF the fair. twenty-five
hurdle horses and fifty English fox
hounds will be seen every day Of the
fair in their wonderful feats, and
the old-time fox chase will be an
event that will draw multitude of
people very day of the big state ex-
position.
Four one-thousand- dollar stake
races have been provided and filled,
in addition to which the several 9TH
er thrilling speed contests bring
the total amount of purses up to the
magnificent sum of seven thousand
and two hundred dollars. All these
races are guaranteed as nearly two
hundred horses have been entered
for them.
IT is needless to make extended
reference to the speed program as
the association belongs to one of the
hest half-mile circuits in the country
and will have the cream" of the
noted pacing, running and trotting
horse collections of the country,
with a goodly number of the Grand
Circuit racers performing. Conf
IDENTIFY may all predict new high rec
ords this year at the new" fair.
All these extraordinary prepara-
tons represent large expenditure
OF money, thus necessi,ating the
most liberal patronage possible. and
1t is fondly hoped the associations
efforts will be duly appreciated by
the people. A patronage in keeping
with the elaborateness of the event
Is essential to the continuance and
Development of this institution. which
gives promise of being second to
none in the United States in few
years at most. If given proper and
merited encouragement.
