The One Secured by MIR. Bittman for
Next Week a Good One.
The theatregoers of Oakes will be
given real treat on Sept. 5th, when
that big New York comedy success,
"a Bachelors Honeymoon" will be
presented at the opera house under
the management of A. Mayo Brad
field. Briefly, the story Of the play is
as follows: Bachelor has two daugh-
ters who are under the care of a de-
voted sister. While they are away at
the seashore, their father marries an
actress, who is not aware that he has
chick or child. The actress learning
that her husband haa daughters, the
bride is not bit flattered. All sorts
/ of absurd complications arise The
sister must not be told that Benjamin
has married again and least of all
that he has married an actress, or
Benjamin will be cut off from the for
tunes of his father who made one of
the conditions Of his Inheritance that
he should not marry again without
the consent of Minerva, Benjamin's
sister. The bride is an actress of note
and the papers md her theatrical man.
ager have taken up the affair; de-
tective is sent to the home of Benja-
min Bachelor, who denies that he has
married and introduces his wife to his
sister as governess. More trouble
comes at this time, and in punishment
for the affair, Minerva, the moral
guardian of the children, demands
that her brother marry the woman he
has brought to mis- home, in order tc
prevent further trouble and scandal
So, after all, the honeymoon ends
happily.
The cast will include Mr.. Eddie o.
Brien and Miss Rose Ainsworth, who
will be supported by company of
we'll known players.

Pacification of Our Neighbor by Other
Means Than Force Seems
Almost Impossible
MESSAGE ADVISES AMERICANS TO
Get OUT OF that COUNTRY FOR SAFETY
Does Not Want to Intervene but Conditions Gradually
Growing Worse-Our ENJOYS Ready to
Sail at Moments Notice

Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson played his trump card in the
Mexican situation today when he ap-
peared before joint session of con-
gress to read message which ad-
vised:
That all Americans pe earnestly
advised to leave Mexico at once.
| That Mexico be informed that sum-
mary punishment will be made if
Americans are endangered.
That he deems it his duty to let the
various Mexican factions fight out
their troubles.
That he must prohibit shipment of
arms to both federals and rebels to
insure strict neutrality by the United
States.
Failure Of the negotiations of Spec
ial Envoy Lind was reported by the
president. But he said the door is
not closed to resumption of peace cv-
ertures.
Regards Situation as Critical
The president regards the situation
as critical. His address breathed
Friendship for the Mex.:an people, but
1extreHe .pessimjsn1 as, TO the outlook
ifor immediate restoration of peace,
because of President Huerta's rejec-
tion of the mediation plan.
The hope that tn. .luerta govern
| ment, which had requested delay of
twenty-four hours in the delivery of
the message, would indicate a desire
to meet the wishes of President Will
son was dissipated as the day length
ened and no word came upon which
to base any further halt in the pres
ident's program.
Envoy Lind was at Vera Cruz, wait
ing for final instructions. Huerta
was silent. But early this morning
Charles O'Shaughnessey cabled that
the Mexican president had sent note
to Gov. Lind. This caused a further
delay
Waited Until Last Moment.
President Wilson desired to make
no move while there was possibility
that Huerta would yield in advance
of the delivery of the message.
When the cable from Charge
O'Shaughnessey was deciphered at the
state department it was found to con-
tain nothing to warrant further in
terruption in the presidents plans.
Accordingly, he started for the CAPT.
tol and at 1:22 o'clock had read his
message to the Joint session of con-
gress. He required but 20 minutes
for the delivery Of the momentous de-
claration.

MEMBER Of COURT
Was Appointed Late Monday After
noon. Succeeding Thomas n.
kearns, Deceased.

Late Monday afternoon John G
Lloyd. of Winchester avenue, was ap
pointed member Of the county court
succeeding the late Thomas r.
Kearns. After qualifying Mr.. Lloyd
took his seat on the bench and sat
with his associates during the re
mainder OF the session. Mr. Lloyd
needs no introduction to the people
Of Martinsburg, or Berkeley county
Twenty years ago he moved TO Win
chester avenue, then Arden district
but did not become a resident OF the
city until recently when the court
changed the boundary lines.
By wise investing Mr. Lloyd has
accumulated quite large amount OF
property. He has always been regard
ed as a splendid business man, and
having made success OF his own
business II is reasonable to presume
that he will give the county's affairs
every attention. When the campaign
OF 1912 opened he was elected secre-
tary Of the Democratic County Execu-
tive committee, and 10 that capacity
rendered his party valuable service
Today he is sitting with the court,
but is being kept busy receiving the
congratulations Of his friends.

| large number of varieties which are
grown here should give one OF T. 9
finest displays that has ever been
opened to the public.
While the shows in past years have
been of a high order 1t IS believed this
year, that with the experience that
has been gained in the past, the ex-
hibits will be put up in more attrac-
tive manner than they have been here
tofore. The individual pack will most
likely stand out this year as il has
never done before The commercial
pack has been standardized and there
will be much competition in the way
of excellence in packing.
The place for holding the carnival
this year is ideal. No better place
to make show OF this kind could
have been found. Through the gen.
crosby OF Mr.. Kent Miller. the car
nival committee win have the use of
large portion of the new garage
which he, is just about completing
on East Burke street and 1t WI lend
itself most readily TO decoration and
advantageous arrangement Of the dis
play.
The committee in charge OF the
carnival expects that all the growers
and citizens will lend as wiling as
sistance to the success Of the car
nival as has M. Miller.
There is no section Of the country
this year which has a crop of apples
such as Berkeley county. In fact
there is no section which can compete
with us when it comes to the quality
of the fruit grown. This fact Will
likely draw the growers from OTHER
sections who will be interested IL our
product
It should be the aim of every grow
err to have an exhibit at the carniva' .
/ Prepare now to have Ut least one
variety on exhibit n. If you can
make it two or three so much the bet
ter. There, is every possibility OF
large competition. secause you think
that the other fellow will show better
apples than you, is no reason why
/ you should not put yours on show
Let every one turn to the gathering
! of his show apples, so that the ex-
hibit will not only be a credit to
the county but a credit to each in
divdual grower in the county IL
that he has an exhibit alongside Of
the other growers. If you grow ap-

DIR. E. L. Bitner, Chairman.

With the naming of the sub-com-
mittees for the Apple Carnival the
real work of the event will start. The
date at the present time is during
the last week of October, but the
days of the week have not as yet been
fully determined. While the week
itslf is not ironbound there is scarce.
ly any possibility that it will be
changed
The Annual Apple Carnival in Ber-
kelley county has done more to
spread the name and fame of Mar
tinsburg and Berkeley county through
this land and in fact the world at
large, than any other event or cir
cumstance that has been incident to
the community.
Through the Apple Carnival the
great fruit sections of the West an
Northwest have come to notice the
fruit that is grown in this county.
For years they have had control of
the markets of the world in the pro-
duction and marketing of apples but
with the institution of the Apple Car
nival in Martinsburg and the reports
that went out from here of the su.
perior quality of apples grown in
Berkeley county, the growers of the
west have found that they have a
rival in the production of fine fruit

From Missouri" and they had to be
shown, but when they came to TIE
apple show here and saw what we
grow in the way of apples they were
forced to acknowledge that we were
their equal if not their superior
They admit that We have apples that
for flavor are far superior to the
finest grown in the west or any other
section of the country They admit
also that we equal them in the color
ing of the fruit and as for size we
can grow them just as large
The growers of other parts of the
country have grown envious of tie
reputation that Berkeley county fruit
has gained through the exhibits that
have been made here and at the CLt
cago Land Show and other places.
Wherever Berkeley county has had
an exhibit of apples they have been
a surprise to those who have seen
them.
It is proposed this year to have a
larger and finer exhibit OF fruit grown
in Berkeley county than has ever
been exhibited before The fruit in
this section this year is exceptionally
fine. There are many growers who
have fne specimens which win be
made part of the exhibit The
