THE AUTHOR,


Thousands OF Fairnont people we're
on the streets Saturday night to hear
who was the successful one in the
Slogan Contest conducted by the Fair
mont Chamber OF Commerce. The
square in front Of the court house
was crowded to It's capacity and all
along the street for block, either
way was the dense crowd quiyering
to get glance as to when the an.
nouncement of the slogan and the
winner of the ten dollars should come.
Like all vast crowds that wait in
expectancy there was lots OF enIiety
manifested and 9few found the wait
a little irksome but these were more
than repaid when Mayor Martins
clarion voice broke the suspense by
announcing that the Slogan was In the
following words; Favored by Ma
ture; Developed by Industry" May
or Martin then introduced Miss Olive
Davis, the author Of the slogan,
Mr.. Charles w Evans, secretary Of
the Fairmont Chamber of Commerce
made an eloquent address following
the announcement Of the slogan, us
ing the words selected for tho basis
Of his discourse. He said in part:
eThis slogan campaign has proved a
great awakening in Fairmont. Indeed
Iit would appear that we are at the
beginning Of our great development
and the question which was, put to
Noses Of old mayb be. put to FaifmoHts
l1e6pie. What IS IN thine hand etc 2
We seem to have been sluggishFwe
have not manifested as much public
spirit as we should. We are city
favored by nature-iour natural ret
sources are unlimited-coal for years
to come-oil and gas-yes, we could
have made cog wheel our emblem
and had better reason for 1t than our
Capital Sister, for we are truly IA
vored in this by nature. Our water is
a resource OF no mean proportions.
The future alone will show what navi-
CATION may do for US and an abundant
supply for domestic and manufactur-
ling purposes gives US great advantage
over our sister cities. Z
Eyes, Fairmont has been favored by
nature, but that is not all. She IS
being developed industrially, Every
body works in Mlrmont would have
made good slogan. for the rich the
well-to-do, and the poor all work in
Fairmont, and the more our people
possess the harder they work.
"Yes, we are IN industrious city,
Industry! What did you say? Indus
ltry! What will It not accomplish
| A city where the toiler and capitalist
inject and greet each other on com,
mon level; where every man has q
| ieilow.feeling for every other man;
where everyone Is busy at somthlng;
where the spirit Of industry Is mani
fest on every street. and In almost
every home; when this spirit Of indus
TRY is a.going and in full blast-then
will we have the enewly chosen slogan
-"Favored by Nature: Developed by
Industry" a living reality, and ouI
fair city will then be Just beginning

NO ARRESTS
Highwaymen Who Robbed
Brewery Collector Still :
at Large.

FtATRMoNT, Aug. 312S0 far
there has been no new developments
in the hOld-up and robbery OF PHO
Garbaldi, the Italian agent. of the
Fairmont Brewing Company, who
was robbed of $4,000 by two un-
known hIghwaymen near Worthing-
ton Tuesday morning Of. this week
Yesterday agents Of the Brewing
Company sent out printed circulars
an over the country Offering a re-
ward for the apprehension 5oe the
robbers. 100
The local county omciaIs have
exhausted every clew in an effort to
get trace of the men, so far without
success. There are many strange
features of the robbery which have
not been satisfactorily explained by
Garbaldi as yet, which baRIe the au-
tliorities in their efforts to run down
tile criminals.
It is not known whether the rob
beers were italians or Americans. but
it is believed that they were Ameri-
cans. and the officers are working
on this supposition. GarbaIdi was
IN olarksburg yesterday, helping in
the work OF trying to trace the
thieves. The robbery was the bold
est that has ever taken place in
Marion county, and has excited
much comment and considerable in

Importance to the people Of the South.
1T not only aRords a sure and 1ucra-

thinks Is Of supreme Importance and
benefit to the public health.
!. Fl have always been an advocate
Of the use OF cotton seed oil as q
human 1ood,p says Dr.. wiley. There
is one product against which nobody
has any objection" and the doctor
perhaps had in mind the many prob
lens Of pure food with which he Is
daily confronted and which recently
lied to determined activity on the part
OF his enemies to have him shelved
But the newspaper and magazine
press OF the country has come out
4irmly in support of wiley. and
it now Iookes like the CHIEF advocate
OF pure foods in general and Of cot
ton seed oil in particular will con-.
tinue the good work to which he was

a speech he made in New York a.
short time ago, who had prejudice
against 1t beforehand, but on trial
Of 1t that prejudice was removed, and
then they continued to use It for
cooking purposes. just so, l believe
that the people OF this country who
are as a rule not very great eaters
OF oil at the table-not as they
should be-could be taught to con-
! sumo large quantities of this whole
some product.
.'The health of the people Will be
better in this country If they eat
more cotton seed) oil, and you Cthe

wider market for your trOduct, and
you will be benefactOr of the public
as well as administering to their
needs by teaching them to do this"
These are strong words in the, in
terest of great southern industry
coming from the CHIEF exponent in
the United States of the doctrine Of
pure food.
Cotton seed oil has been tested
thoroughly by government pure food
experts, who have recommended It
for use in the United States Navy
for salad and cooking purposes.
