its energetic operator lays claim
to the distinction of being the
first West Virginian to build an
airship that would fly
Hartley took his place ON the
machine and started the motor.
The graceful little aeroplanc inn

After travelling about 600 feet
Hartley effected q safe landing
The flight was made shortly be-

Robbery in Writ County.

The general store of w. w.
Cheatham, located at Dulin, Writ
comfy, six miles above Elizabeth
and the United States Postoffice
in the same building, were bur-
glarized early Sunday morning
and Ben and Burley Geer are in
custody at Elizabeth, charged
with the crime. The Geer broth
ers were trailed down by blood
hounds, being arrested Sunday
night, after a chase lasting sew
eral hours, the same resulting
in the brutes leading the author
tiles directly to the Geer home.
AS the men are charged with
having robbed a United States
Postoffice their crime comes
within the scope and under the
control of the Observation-Disclosures
The Geer brothers, Ben and
Burley, are nineteen and sixteen
years of age, respectively. Ben
Geer was given a trial in this
city within the last year on the
charge of horse stealing. He
stole very valuable horse be-
longing to eX-Mayor G. H. Turn
CT, of this city, and was tried in
the Criminal Court under the
name of Sylvester Geer, was con-
yicted and sentenced to a term
in the state reform sch DOL at
Pruntytown. About six weeks
ago he was released from the re-
form school and now is in deeper
trouble than ever.
The authorities Of Writ county
do not know just how much mon
cy and goods were stolen from
the-postofice and store. Per
haps less than fifty dollars in
money and stamps were taken
from the postofice, while a large
number o. articles were taken
from the store, the proprietor
not knowing the exact amount
of the goods taken nor the value
thereof.
Immediately after the discoy
cry of the robbery Sunday morn
ing an officer was sent to Spen
Ger, where he procured a pair oil
bloodhounds, and Sunday after
noon they were put on the trail
and after a roundabout trail wen
the Geer home some distanc,

Increase in Production

Wnlie many OF the other mid
die and eastern states have been
claiming the laurels that West
Virginia is justly entitled to, the
census bulletin No. "A shows that
the Mountain State has made
more progress and has developed
to a greater extent than her
neighboring states, and with the
exception of a very few states
have progressed more during the
past ten years than any state in
the Union.
During the past ten years %
new glass houses have been
built in this state, while four
giant steel and iron mills have
been started. The Mountain
State is a close fifth in the glass
producing states and her indus
tries have been operating in full.
The value of the glass output
has arisen from 81, 81. 795 to
$4, 598, 563. Production of pig
iron has also greatly increased
during the past few years. Since
the last census was taken the
number of manufactures have
increased from 1924 to 2,118.
Over $21, 1853, 042 is paid annually
in this state for wages and at
present the majority of the in
dustries are operating in full.
West Virginia now leads all
other states in the Union in the
production of lumber and during
the past several years the num-
of saw mills have increased 1876
per cent. Hundreds of men are
given steady employment in the
lumber mills of this state and the
product is being exported to all
parts of the world.
Next to the lumber increase
railroads have come second in
growing in this state-during the
past ten years. Over 200 miles
of new railroad trackage has
has been laid in this state during
this time and all the railroads
have arranged to carry on this
work of expanding on a much
larger scale. The railroads dur
ing this time have increased the
values of products 40 percent
and the number of employees
63.3 per cent.
Flour and grist mills have
nearly doubled this time, while
the farm products have increased
wonderfully. The state stands
second III coal and coke produc-
ton and the entire products am
cunt to 500, 100000 annually.
This includes the states entire
production.
West Virginia has over 100, 600
farms, producing a great amount
of garden truck that is sent to
supply the residents of other
states who are less fortunate
The soil here is adapted for
farming and the agricultural
movement is spreading through
out the state with Governor
Glasscock at the helm in the
"back to the farm" movement.
During the past year $1,000, 900
barrels of oil were produced by
this state, which has enriched
the farming element to a great
extent.
Keeping pace with the advance
ment Of the greatest state in the
Union, the banks have made
made wonderful gains. At'pres-
ent there are ITS State banks,
IS National banks, and s40 trust
companies.
