RAILROAD COMPANY
FOSTERS NEW PLANT.
In the Nature Of a Canning
Industry for Putting Up
Tomatoes.

BALTIMORE, Nd. Sept. IA new
industry of vast Importance to the
state OF West Virginia in a CONNER
cial and agricultural way has recent
ly been established at Parkersburg
by the Imperial Canning Company,
packers of tomatoes. The company
has under construction one Of the
most modern caanerips in the east,
the building being OF cemen: and
equipped withthe latest and most i'm
proved type Of canning machinery.
The officers Of the new company are
James S. McCluer, president; Sam
NJ dis, treasurer, and II. E. Daw-
son, general manager.
The output of the Imperial Canning
Company win be about 100 carload
OF tomatoes a season, the expectation
being that this output will be in
creased within a very short time. The
canning factory will have track con-
necAon with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, assuring ready access to the
principal markets Of the country.
Establishing the new canning com
pany at Petersburg VIII mean much
as an impetus to West virginia truck
farmers. With a home market for
tomatoes where standard prices can
be obtained farmers will be encour-
aged to devote more attention to to-
mato growing. Experts in soil fer
dlity pronounce the West Virginia
farm lands especially adapted to prof
table farming, particularly truck
growing. This is attestcd by compar-
ing the crop yield per acre within the
state a,Da similar statistics for other
states.
In the development Of agriculture
West Virginia has elected the assist
ance Of outside interests in bringing
the crops up to, and above, the
standard yield. For many years the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
taken an active part in this move
ment and has directed the attention
of farmers in other sections of the
country to the possibilities OF West
Virginia. The railroad has also ex-
tended its cooperation to those en-
gagged in farming, horticulture, poul-
try raising and kindred pursuits,
with a view to bettcring present con-
ditions This has been done largely
by means of farmers trains which
have toured the states. Carrying the
watchword of better farming to the
front gate
The continued cooperation of the
Baltimore and Ohio with the farmers
is assured by the recent appointment
of J. Fl. Stewart as agricultural agent.
Mr.. Stewart, a recognized authority
on agriculture, was formerly connect
ed with tile state university at Nor
gantown. He will devote his atten-
ton to assisting and counselling with
the farmers in the various states
through which the road runs. Mr..
Stewart seeing the opportunities for
canning the West Virginia tomatoes,
was instrumental in establishing the
Imperial Canning Company in Park
ersburg.

state, on the prohibition amendment
issue. DR.. CRANBERRY, in a lengthy
article quoted DR.. Hataeld's frank
declaration made in the personal
Platform issued by DR.. Hatfield last
April when he formally announced
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination. In fact. it Will be re-
membered. Or. Hatfield declared
that II the amendment was ratified
he would see to its strict enforce
ment; II it was not, that he favored
the enactment OF the most stringent
local option laws. This declaration
was amplifed by DR.. Hatfield in his
speeches. he declaring time and
again that he would enforce the
amendment II ratified even IL it
we're necessary for him to keep the
state militia in the field to do it.
DR.. Granbery quoted all OF these
statements; also. he quoted from
letters received by him from the Re-
publican candidate. He said that
these declarations were entirely sat
Iisfactory to him Cranberry that
they are perfectly satisfactory to
me-" He referred to the fact that
the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor had never said a word bearing
on the issue, and that is true now
the same as when DR.. Granbery men
toned 1t. Thompson has been dumb
on this issue from the time he en-
tered the arena as candidate up
IL the present time, although every
effort has been made, especially by
the friends of the amendment, to
force him to make some sort Of a
declaration in reference to it.
The case of DR.. Cranberry is SINH

self inside a religious tabernacle al
work, and there many would sup.
pose that even such an aggregation
of audacious schemers would moi
dare to try to enter and carry on
their work. SecuIarly-that is, in
business life-men have felt the
revenge of politicians in .dsxious and
circuitous ways, but this is the first
time, so far as is known, that polit,
ical bosses ever worked upon the
organization of a great church tc
bring success TO selfish and un.
worry projects and to ayenge a fan
cied grievance on a mere individual.
BY the forced departure of DR..
CRANBERRY the state Loses forceful
personality anf man OF great
worth; the various organizations OF
which he was the active head, and
with whose affairs he was more IA
millarly acquainted than any other
individual, are compelled to hunt
for somebody else to guide them-a
decidedly hard and uncertain search
likely to go unrewarded for some
time to come; and his church in this
state is deprived OF the services OF
one of its brightest minds and most
militant figures. And all because
DR.. Granbery crossed the paths of
Clarence w. Watson and William E,
Chiffon. pair of political bosses
who have a fairly firm clutch on the
government OF West Virginia and
who hope to be able to secure a
ffrmer grip on IT at the election to
be held next November.

BANKS AIDED
BY PROPER STATUES
New York Laws on the Sub
jeet Are Pronounced Best
in the Country
BUSINESS IS BRouGHl
To Banks in Massachusetts
as the Second Best
State in Laws.

DETROIT. Sept. 12.-The saw
ings bank and its value to the com
munity were discussed before the
American Bankers Association con-
ventlon today by John j. PuIleys,
comptroller OF the Emigrant Indus
trial Savings Bank OF New York
City. Savings Banks, he said. had
far outgrown in significance, useful
ness and power the comparatively
narrow scope and purpose OF their
original intent.
"fhe number of savings banks in
the United States in 1872" he maid,
sis estimated at about 1000. the
amount on deposit four and one
quarter billions and the number
of depositors about 100000 or
practically 10 per cent of the entire
population of the United States.
These four and one-quarter billions
of dollars of savings bank deposits
were distributed as follows:
Six New England
states. ........s1,375.o 90. 900
Eastern states. tNew
York. Pennsylvania
and New Jersey :. 1880, 900. 900
Southern states, -. $4,000. 900
Middle west states. S6O,O0sOOO
Western states, -. 1900, 900
Pacific states, ... $4,000. 900
Total, ......... 1920. 900, 600
These statistics show that so
per cent of all the deposits are in
the eastern banks and 20 per cent
scattered over vast territory, thus
demonstrating that adequate facilR-
ties are not provided for large
proportion OF our people. In the
state Of New York with Its most
carefully guarded savings bank law
40 per cent OF the savings of the
people of the United States is depos-
It'd. This important fact is due to
the confidence inspired by a good
law faithfully executed. The signi-
ficance OF this fact is accentuated by
the realization that about one-fifth
of the wealth of the union and not
quite one-twelfth Of the voting pop.
ulation are in New York state.
under the stringent provisions
of the New York law and the extern
slve savings facilities accorded, we
have an illustration of the best
thus far provided for the safety and
accumulation of the people and be
cause OF such features of safety and
convenience the savings banks OF
that state are literally patronized
by the masses.
Massachusetts ranks next to
New York in excellence of statutory
provisions relating to savings instI-
tutions, and as result of the con-
fldence thereby inspired, such banks
in that state hold one-fifth of the
aggregate of all the savings depos-
its in the banks OF the United
States"
