TAFT Will HAVE
1T BY April l3
Pennsylvania Primaries That
Day Will Likely Settle
the Contest.

WASHINGTON. Mar. est is pre-
dicted that on the night OF April 10
President Taft Will practically be the
nominee OF the Republican party for
the presidency, for on that evening
he will have secured sufficient num-
Der of delegates to secure his renom-
ination. On the 18th day OF April the
primaries in Pennsylvania will be
held, and 1t is belieyd that the dele
CATION from Pennsylvania will be
practically solid for Taft. Previous
10 the Pennsylvania primaries the
elections in other states will have
increased the number OF Taft dele
gates 20 the point where Taft vic
tory In Pennsylvania will end the con-
test.
Under the primary system in Penn
sylyania, delegates cannot be instruct
cd, but at the state convention, which
will be held In Harrisburg on May l.,
resolutions will be adopted which
will be binding on the twelve dele
gates-at-large there to be elected, and
which will be accepted by all the
Taft delegates elected at the primaries
on April 10, as equally binding on
them. 1t is not impossible that there
may be some Roosevelt delegates
from Pennsylvania, for it is conceded
that in the mining regions there is
some Roosevelt sentiment. Indeed, in
view of the fact that President Taft's
strength in the convention will be SO
overwhelming that votes can be
spared, it is by no means unlikely that
President Tafts friends in Pennsyl-.
vania may in several of the mining
districts concede the victory TO Roose-
welt delegates in advance, by not even
putting up TAFT delegates.
The following table shows the re-
suits to date.

BIRD MEN MAY FLY
HERE JULY FOURTH
Aviation Meeting Likely 10
Be Held at the New Fair
Grounds Then.

There is good promise of an ayi.
alton meet here in connection with
the Fourth of July meeting to be
held at the new fair grounds this
year. AS there has never been any
thing of the kind here, the attrac-
ton viii doubtless draw great
crowds.
John w. Berry, director general
Of the Morok Aviation Company. of
New York, is in the city comforting
with men for the purpose of having
bird men fly here on that occasion
and there is every reason to believe
that he will be given favorable an
swer.
Grafton is to have home coming
week the last week in May and Mr..
Berry signed contract there yester-
day to have an aviation meeting there
May IS, 20 and 80 in connection WITH
the other features OF the celebration.
The Grafton Sentinel says OF Mr..
Berry's visit there. slg ftts
There will be something continually
stirring and there will be aeroplane
flights for three days, three day OF
not less than flyesmlles each. during
the three days for which the aero
plane is contracted for.
The contract has been closed for
the flights with the Morok Aeroplane
Company, of New York. and an ex-
perienced airman probably the re-
nowned Charles H. Morok himself,
will be on the ground to make the
flights. A big deposit will be made
in one of the local banks by the
aeroplane company as a guarantee
of good faith and the fulfillment OF
the contract. 1t will be real big
week and the various committees
are busy and on the job pounding
the final preparations for the big
week into solid substance.
The contract for the aeroplano
flights was closed with John w.
Berry, director general of the Morok
Aeroplane Company to make three
flights each day for three days of the
week beginning May 81 and this con-
tract will expire June /.

billy SUNDAY
Agrees to Come to Clarksburg
in October to Give
Dry Talks.

a committee of Clarksburg bust
ness men and ministers visited the
Rev. Billy Sunday at Wheeling
yesterday and obtained his consent
to come to Clarksburg in October

sues involved in the present cam
paign for the amendment to the con-
stitution. At that time Mr.. Sunday
will look the ground over with the
view of coming later for a great
evangeiistic effort The committee

. generauy adopted By other

been generally adopted by other
stores.
The first store in Clarksburg TO
adopt general newspaper advertising,
and at present 1t is carrying the
largest regular newspaper advertise
ments of any store in the state. The
first to issue one-page, two-page,
three-page and o four-page adver-
tisement.
The Watts-Lamberd Company was
the first to inaugurate early closing
hours; the first to close at o'clock
the year-round; the first TO close at
$3.50 during the summer months; the
FIRST to give its employees a halliday
holiday each week during the summer
months, closing Its store at noon on
Fridays, and so-far as known, the
only store in the state giving its en-
ployees these weekly half holidays.
This liberal policy towards the en-
ployees seems to have met the ap-
proval of the public. as on the days
when the store was closed in the
afternoon the mornings business
alone has equaled the average whole
days business. The store was the
first to allow each employee one
weeks vacation during the year WITH
pay.
The future growth and expansion
Of the Watts-Lamberd Company will
be watched with interest by its many
friends and patrons.

BIG STORE WILL
Be STILL BIGGER
Watts-Lamberd c o m pan y
Breaks Ground for a
Large Addition.
FLOOR SPACE
And Still Better Equipment
for a Strictly Up-to-
Date Store.

This week ground was broken for q
large addition to the Watts-Lamberd
Company's constantly growing de-.
partmeut store, which. when com
pleted, will give floor area of more
than 10000 square feet. and place the
store among the foremost department
stores in the state, and larger than
any other in Clarksburg.
Progressive methods and the appli-
cation of modern business ideas have
characterized the growth of the Watts
Landlord Company in this city. Surely
to accomplish such growth the pure
blood of honorable commerce and
fair dealing must have been running
through its business all the ten
years, building up anew the old It's
sues, and creating new and better
business muscles TO meet the new de.
mands. A store only becomes great
because Of the favor ond appreciation
CT the shopping public, and the past
continuous progress and development
OF the Watts-Lamberd Company, and
its plans for future expansion indi
cate that its business has the conf
dence and support of the people CT
Clarksburg and its vicinity.
Charles E. Lamberd, the head of this
store, states that profits have come in
these ten years of hard though pleas
and work. but have gone right back
into the business TO make 1t better
and of still greater service to its pat.
rons. Mr.. Lamberd says he believes
in putting back into a community the
profits that are taken out OF it SO
that it may comrBund in value to all
the people who have been instrumen.
tai in its creation. and so that he
feels that his company alone has NOT
been building its business, but its
friends and patrons, the entire conf
munity, revolving around this center
of Clarksburg, have had a mutual
hand in 1t all.
In reviewing the history of this
store and its business methods the
following facts are of peculiar local
interest: Nearly ten years ago the
Watts-Bamberd Company started with
a floor area Of fewer than 1000
square feet. Its new store, with the
addition, Just begun, will have a floor
area of more than 10000 square feet,
The Watts-Lamberd Company has
been first in the introduction and APP
plicatlon OF many up-to-date bust
ness methods in ClarkBburg, notably
in the following:
The first to inaugurate special
sales in Clarksburg, such as daily
and hourly sales. which ideas have
been generally adopted by the other
large stores.
The first to install all-glass cases
instead OF counters. thus affording
more convenient facilities for the
display of merchandise.
The first to install telephones
throughout the store with local and
nearby out-of-town connections for
the free use OF patrons.
The first to make alterations in Its
ready-to-wear department free Of
charge.
The irst to make. lay and line car

TREASURY TO HAVE
BETTER VENTILATION
New System to Be Installed Which
Will Furnish Pure Air to
Clerks.

A new system Of ventilation is TO be
installed in the Treasury building.
Plans are being drawn for supplying
fresh air to as many Of the office rooms
az possible. through a duct system
which will nump In fresh and pure air
from the outside and distribute It TO
rooms and corridors having . minimum
of ventilation at present.
This new system will supersede ven
tilator installed a few years ago. which,
from a hygienio standpoint, has not
been q success. The old system took
the air from the west basement court.
This court is the dumping place for all
coal consumed In the building. and Is
the outlet for boiler rooms as well as
the sidewalk coal storage cellars. Con-
sequently a good deal of coal dust and
other impurities we're brought In with
the supposedly fresh AIR.
with the new system contemplated,
the air intake will be high above the
roof In the center court. and 2 cloth
filter will remove all dust and foreign
particles that might otherwise got In
Force pumps will distribute this fresh
air throughout the building.
