point of view OF the public interest.
What he said the other day In a
speech at Atlantic City Ia genuine
expression of his spirit. He was speaa
ing OF an issue raised In that place by
lawlessnes and corruption, of the need
of moral pride, and OF the willingness
TO fight evil at all costs. There can
be, said Mr.. Wilson, so long as we

tomology.

have shown that more than $50 spec
les of insects inhabit the chestnut.

Postmaster E. c. Henshaw told a
World reporter this morning that a
pretty sure indication of the business
of town is the business done at the
post office-a barometer of the times,
so to speak. He stated that the pro-
fits of the Martinsburg post Office for
the month of July show considera-
Bile increase over those of the cores

as per the following figures: July,
1910, $1,S0759; 1911, S1,962.3s; 1912,
s2,S70.35, and he says July is the
dullest month in the year at the post
office. The books furthermore show
that for the last four months the in
crease in business is 1866 over tho
corresponding four months last year.
All of which indicates healthy con-
dition OF the finances of this commu-
nifty that is eminently gratifying.
