w. VA. FACES DEFICIT.
State viii Not Be Represented At
Panama Exposition.

Charleston, w. Va.-Governor Henry
d. Hatfield, in a statement, declared
that the reason the $4,000 appro-
priated for a West Virginia building
at the Panama-Pacih Exposition, at
San Francisco, is not available is be-
cause of the deficit facing the State
treasury. Should all appropriations be
paid, West Virginia's treasury will
have a deficit of more than $780,
900 in 1915. The Governor says the
Paint Creek strike cost 100000, and
that prohibition will result in a de-
crease in State revenues of more than
1912, 900 annually.

something more than a drum

than mere salesmanship-on-pa-

force in business, it builds facto-

1t makes two blades of grass
grow in the business world where
only one grew before. 1t multi
plies human wants and intensifies
human desires. 1t furnishes eX-
cuse to timorous and hesitating
ones for possessing the things

they could easily get along with

The human mind is so con-
structed that it is appreciably af-
fected by repetition and, after

Narrow Skirts,

Paris, June 24.-Once more the
question of fashions for women
is the subject of controversy in
Paris.
A few days ago the European
edition of the Herald published a
letter from a Franco-Russe, who
inquired what had become of the
changes which Redfern some
time some time ago said were
imminent. He particularly re-
ferred to paniers, balloon skirts
and other Anticipated horrors. "
Redfern returns the attack.
He disclaims ever having wished
to revive the Anticipated horrors,
but he repeats his statement
that the hobble skirt has gone
out.

Great and wise men have ever

enable freedom of movement.
If you look around you will see a
distinct tendency in that direc-
ton. The Parisienne has aban-
doned the hobble skirt. In tail
or made costumes the skirts will
be tight around the hips, but, in
stead of being still further tight
ened lower down, as in the hob
bic skirt, will fall straight.
There will be much greater
change in afternoon and evening
dresses. We have not got to the
panierS, but at the drags and the
Grand Prix you will see the new
mode in fiounces or dragery of
lace.
Lace especially is one of the
features of the coming fashion.
The skirts will still be close fit
