Mr.. NayIor was at Clarksburg Wednes-
day and went to Charleston later
"The land show is a back to the
land movement and that is what we
must do in West Virginia. We are
neglecting our agricultural POSSIBLE
ties sadly and we are losing money
by it. Not long ago coal company
located in Randolph county where
they can raise the finest potatoes in
the world, imported ten car loads
from Germany when they would have
been only too glad to have bought
them from nearby farmers. 1t was
Just that much money that went away
but could have been kept in Randolph
county had there been some one there
to supply the goods.

is "a fact. that we have 10000 acres
of good West Virginia land on our

NEW YORK. Dec. s.-The Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst has not lost his
punch.

AS Is pretty well known, DR.. Park

active crusader against vice. Par
ticularly have his crusades been
directed against police and other city
officials who have made vice not only
possible. but profitable: who have
maintained evil conditions for the
graft" that accrued.
The doctor naturally incurred the
enmity of many men whose unhallow-
ed incomes were Inonaced by the OPP
erations OF his crusaders. One cold

brutal act had been instigated by DR..

decidedly warm of late. because Of hts
having been called to account by press
and public for the deplorable gambler
police-gun conditions revealed by
the Rosenthal murder, and for his
"well. what OF it," attitude concerning
those conditions.
