Partners for Life"-The author OF
this scenario deserved mention. We don't
know what was submitted; but the pro-
ducer's result is one of the best pictures
by any maker in some time. 1t is a
story of married life and of young peo-
pie. The man thought he was to be the
boss; the girl, with the advice of girl
chum, decided she and her husband would
be partners The man is glad to give
in when she gets through with him. 1t
is an American life portrayal. Miss Mary
Fuller is the wife; Mr., Augustus Phillips
is the husband, a dry goods clerk and
Miss Jean MCPHERSON is the wife's chum.
All three do good work whenever they
get the chance and do fine work here.
The photography and everything con-
nected with the picture is first class.

WOOL DRESSES

We are still talking Wool Dresses.
The reason we are saying so much
about these Dresses is because we
have an exceptionally good line, and
at prices that appeal to those we
have shown them to as the best val
ues they have seen.
When you can buy for 1918 an
All Wool Serge in all colors, made
in a good style and of a model that
fits like Dress you would pay $1,000
for, you cannot afford to be with

draped over live models, thus insur-
ing a perfect fitting Dress.
AT $3.50 are two extremely good
models. These are Dresses that are
made by practical Dress people, and
the fit of them gives them the

THE 8. & o. ORDERS 1000
NEW STEEL HOPPER CARS

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company has jst announced it has
placed an order for 1000 steel hop
per cars. This is in line with its pol
icy OF recent years of bringing its
equipment up to the requirements OF
the company's increasing freight bust
ness.
The announcement is regarded as
an indication that the officials of the
road are we'll satisfied with the way
the freight business is increasing and
is looking for the further increase in
this direction.
The B. & o. has spent millions of
dollars since its reorganization and
the installation of President Willard
as head of the road,for the purchase
of rolling stock and the Improvement

CITY IS CHARGED
POLLUTIONOF
TUSCARORA CREEK
Grand Jury Makes Direct Charge
to the Court.

Before Concluding Work Grand Jury
Reports TO the Court Who Is Re
sponsibIe For the Pollution of Tus-
carora Greek and Its Tributaries
Prisoners Arraigned and Trials Set.
This morning in Circuit Court the
grand jury completed its work and
made its final report The most i'm
portant matter before the body was
the pollution of Tuscarora creek and
its tributaries, and before the jury
was dismissed by Judge Faulkner, the
following report was made to the
court:
Honorable f. Boyd Faulkner, Judge
of the Circuit Court of Berkeley
County, w. Va.
In the matter of the pollution of
the waters Of the Tuscarora creek and
its tributaries, flowing through the
corporate limits of the City of Mar
tinsburg by refuse from the mills ana
manufacturing plants of the city and
the sewage from the city, your grand
jury, now in session, finds from the
evidence before 1t that said creek and
it's tributaries are polluted; and in
their present condition are a nuisance
to the persons living along the same
and dangerous to the health of the
citizens of this county.
1--WE further find that the pollution
consists chiefly of dye water and re-
fuse from the manufacturing plants of
the city and human excrement inject
ed into the same through sewers under
control of the city of Martinsburg.
Your jurors would further report
that they have consumed a portion of
yesterdays session and all of today's
session in the investigation of the
foregoing matter and having examin-
ed numerous witnesses, from the ev-
idence before them are unable to find
any facts upon which to base a Grim
inal responsibility upon the part of
any individual; but we do find that
the corporation OF Martinsburg
through its officers have been neglect
full in providing a proper remedy for
the conditions above recited.
Respectfully submitted,
"F. d. STALEY,
Foreman"

FOR NEW DEPOT AT
SHENANDOAH JUNCTION
Baltimore g. Ohio and Norfolk G.
Western viii Conformity Build
Handsome Structure

There is hope that Shenandoah
Junction may in the not distant future
secure the new union station so great.
" needed at that place by the N. &
w. and b. & o. roads. The present
unsanitary and disgraceful shack, de
void of ali comforts and conveniences
has boone SO intolerable that the com
plants Of the travelling public can no
longer be disregarded, and it is ex.
pected that the b. & o. will at last CO.
operate with the N. & w. in the cree
ton of new depot, the latter road
having long been anxious for the inn
proyement. Plans for the new station
have been prepared and submitted 10
the local officials of the roads or their
inspection and criticism. 1t is propos-
ed to construct the depot in the angle
owned by the railroads north of the
B. & o. and ives Of the N. & w. tracks
1t will be two stories high-the upper
floor to be convenient to the N. & w.
tracks and the lower fr the B. and o.
use. The building win be roomy and
well arranged, satisfactory alikt to
the employees and the patrons of the
roads. Baggage is to be handled by
means of an elevator and proper CON
yeniences win be provided for the
comfort of the public. The most de-
sirable feature of the new plans is
the provision for handling passengers
for the b. & 0. trains. An island
platform" between the lacks will be
provided, thus avoiding the danger of
crossing the tracks-a peril that has
always menaced passengers at this
place. This platform will be reached
by a subway under the track and
will be a most acceptable safeguard
The location of the proposed new sta
ton will be most satisfactory to the
people of Shepherdstown, as 1t will do
away with the necessity of driving
across the tracks in order to reach
the depot. Let us hope that the i'm
provement may soon be commenced
Officials of the b. & o. are working
out plans for changes at the station
at Harpers Ferry that will result in
greater safety for patrons of the road.
The recent deaths of passengers at
that place has been greatly regretted
by the company and it is realized
that better care must be taken for the
protection Of the public The plans
provide for subway, so that passen-
gers using west-bound trains will not
be required to cross the tracks at this
extremely dangerous point 1t is stat
ed that this improvement will be
made within a few months.

LIQUOR LICENSES
NOT YET GRANTEE

The anxious fellows have so far to-
day been doomed TO disappointment
in regard to the granting of liquor IL

mandate from the supreme court

would grant the licenses and all the
places would be opened so the thirsty

However, the mandate had not ar
rived at 2:30 o'clock and Martiasburg

wagon. 1t is expected that 1t will ar

court will act at once.
Those who are engaged in the bust

opening. and all that is necessary is
the appearance Of the mandate. Sew
