latter display was rather poor at the
apple show last fall was because no
room was provided or could be proyid
ed at the market house.
Mr.. Robinson said the committee
had planned to hold the show, or many
of the features under a tent in the pub
lie square, with the band stand as
sort of center. For an apple show, at
least, the square seemed to be ad-
mirably suited, with a tent to protect
exhibits and visitors.
Chairman Nadenbousch asked what
aid the firemen would lend the under
taking. with his eye on DR.. w e.
Langford. chief of the fire department.
The chief said that the Martinsburg
firemen could be relied on to do their
duty in this case as they have always
done in the past, whether at a fire or
frolic. Ftl
Noticing the members of the Board
of Affairs at the meeting Chairman
! Nadenbousch called upon them to say
something with respect to the home
coming movement Mr.. l.. H. Thomp-
son, speaking for the board. said that
the committee could rely on them to
give all proper assistance to the UNI
dertaking in question.
Observing the presence of three
bank cashiers at the meeting. namely,
/ nnI. ID
| ledge and A. ID. Darby, the chairman
remarked that no enterprise could be
successfully carried on without the as
| sistance of the banks, and he called
on the three gentlemen In turn to say
something that would have an encour-
aging smack to it, Mr., Wilson and
| Mr.. Darby said their banks would GER
/ tainly do their part in the matter of
contributions. But Mr. Rutledge went
one better. basing his pledge on con-
versation he had had that day with
/ Mr.. Howard H. Emmert, president of
the Martinsburg Clearing House AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Rutledge remarked that
the five local banks had hereto
! fore given $25 each towards the apple
show, but he thought that this time
they would subscribe 800 each or a
matter of $500 at one jump. SO this
sum added to the $3.50 which Mr.. Wal
1 ter W. Trout said he had collected in
the way of subscriptions-and hadn't
/ been turned down in a single instance
/ either, he declared-makes over ST.
/ 100 in sight and the show is way off
/ yet.
/ Some one asked If the time selected
I by the committee (the week of Octo-
/ Der 21) were the best for the show.
/ Chairman Nadenbousch replied that
I that matter had been carefully can
/ yassed and the members of the com
mittee had agreed that the week after
/ the Hagerstown fair would be the best
everything considered. 1t is just about
I right for apples, not too cold for out
side or open-air events and not too
near the fall election when everybody
! is talking about politics,
Brief remarks were also made at the
meeting by Messrs. w l.. Jones. Post
master K. c. Henshaw, e. l.. Williams,
Allen b. Noll, Frank J. Trammell,
Adolph Kogelschatz, A. Zimmerman,
Jr., and II. A. Bush. All the remarks
were along encouraging lines and in
some instances good practical sug-
gestions were offered relative to ten
tative plans.
