Barboursville Will Have
Homecoming.

Thriving Little City will also Celebrate
its Centennial, 5Oth Anniversary of
State and 25,h of Morris Harvey
College. Events Scheduled for June I-6
A celebration which has never been
equalled in magnitude or character in
Southern West Virginia is scheduled to
take place in Barboursville during the
first six days of June. In the first place
this thriving junction city," SO named
on account of the confluence ofAthe Mud
and Guyandotte rivers and the junction
of the Guyandotte Valley Railroad with
the c. & o. at this, point, has reached
its hundredth milestone and is one of
the few towns that can boast of hay
ing centennial. = The town was
founded and designated as the county
seat of Cabell. County just one hundred
years ago, and remained as such for
seventy Ave years. In 1883 Hunting
ton was made the county seat and Nor
ris Harvey College, now, one of the
best known and most efficient colleges
in West Virginia was established in the
abandoned county buildings. now re-
built and enlarged The quarter-cen-
tury year of the college will therefore
be the second big cause for celebration.
Then, the state itself has its half-cen-
fury birthday this year, and day will
be set aside to commemorate this event.
The fact that the town justa decade
ago began splendid industrial develop
ment, resulting in its being practically
rebuilt, and its population increased
three-fold, will be the final cause for
rejoicing; and all of these reasons for
celebrating are gong to be put to good
use
The dates for the various events will
cover the first six days of June. De.
tailed programs, showing the happen
ing5 for each day will be issued at an
early date. Many speakers of nationa
and state prominence will be here, and
some sort of entertainment, especially
of the "home. coming" variety, will be
scheduled for every hour of the days
! selected for the celebrations.

Apple Growers Cut Cedar frees.

West Virgfnians declare war on red
cedar in order to protect orchards.
Last year fhe apple growers Of the
great Shena1loah Valley region of Old
Virginia aud West Virginia lost fully
800 thonsan4 dollars through damage
done by the lngous disease known as
cedar rust. This disease destroys the
color and surface appearance of the
apples and Materially reduces the size
Of the fruit A popularity of this fun
gous crowd is the fact that it requires
two hosts or mediums upon which to
complete tsslife cycle; 1t must devel-
op first upon the red cedar Here it is
common sight and is ordinarily known
as the cidar apple. From these the
spores are carried to nearby apple trees
and there develop the rust.
The growers of this great Shenandoah
section, which by the way is destined
to rival in the very, ear.fpture the
famed western ''HfAa faeion.
tried the usual fungicide ) such as
bordeaux, lime-sulphur ETC., but with
out any great degree ofsuccess. After
seeing several crops more or less COM
pletely destroyed they finally sent out
the edict, ''Since the red cedar harbors
the rust spores, obviously the red cedar
must be destroyed. : This was favor
ably received by the large growers but
opposition was encountered among the
non-growers and the ultra conservatives
of the country side. Since nothing less
than complete annihilation of all red
cedar trees within three fourths of
mile of all orchards would suffice. the
case seemed hopeless.
Then the Agricultural Experiment
Station of West Virginia came to the
rescue and by the aid of friendly legis-
lature had a Crop Pest Commission
created. This commission has power
to compel the cutting of all red cedars
within one mile of a commercial or
chard. Now, under the direction of ex-
perts from the Experiment Station
many thousands of red cedar trees are
falling before the axe. When this work
is completed as it will be without de-
lay. one Of the finest apple regions of
the world will be permanently freed of
one of the most serious menaces to the
production of perfect fruit.

Turnpike Signs.

Turnpike Commissioner Mcdonald
is having metal sign-boards, support
ed by metal posts, erected at all the
turnpike intersections in the county.
The signs bear a hand in relief, with
the index finger pointing in the d.
rection of the most important points
on the pixies. At Mechanicstown, for
instance, there will be three signs, one
indicating the direction to the river,
another to Kabletown, and the third
to Charles Town. The signs were

Flags For 5000 Schools.

Several years ago the legislature
adopted a design for a West Virginia
state nag but on account of its diff.
cult color scheme 1t was not possible
to have the flags made at reasonable
prices. Secretary Of State Reed has
at last succeeded in solving the prob
lem and under his direction beau
tiful flag has been evolved. having all
the emblems and colors originally des.
ignated but arranged SO as to make
the iithographiag and color printing
possible at minimum cost. Eight
thousand of these state flags will be
delivered about June first and distrib-
uted among the eight thousand schools
In the state. Up to this time very few
people have even seen the state flag
or have any well defined idea as to
what it is like. 1t was therefore a
most happy conception of the Semi

Sometimes one grinder may be long

tooth being soft or entirely gone.
Occasionally horses take a mouthful

then force it from the mouth, or when

This is a sign that their teeth are

and the mouth should be examined
carefully to find out exactly where the
trouble is and have it corrected at

In rasping or floating horses teeth
great care must be exercised to rasp
of only the, edges of the teeth that
are doing the injury and to avoid
touching}he grinding surface that
nature has made sharp to enable the
animal to grind its food properly. To
accomplish this the rasp must be held
SO that the file surface touches only
the sharp outside edges of the upper
grinders and the sharp inside edges OF
the lower grinders. The time re-
quired to do this, if the horse is quiet,
should be but three or four minutes.
The farmer should net allow
ordinary horse farriers who travel
about the country to float his
horses teeth. These veterinarians,
as they call themselves, f1nd

There are, in fact, very few families
who can afford or will employ a
trained nurse in case of illness and
many will contribute to the visiting
nurses fund SO that in case OF sick
ness they can have the services OF the

NEW YORK, Jan. Most of the
foreign security markets showed
greater steadiness than did our own
today The feeling at London was
optimistic, in spite of the dulIness in
the trading there, and prices in gener-
al were fractionally higher. Here
the market was dull at the opening;
then there was partial advance.
This movement was short lived, how
ever, and before the end of the first
hour the whole market reacted sharp
ly, SO that under the influence of
heavy selling. many Of the active
stocks declined from II to two points
below yesterday. On the decline
there were rather heavy offerings of
such stocks as Union Pacific, Read
ing, Amalgamated Copper and Steel.
There was relatively little support on
the decline, but around delivery hour
the market improved and portion OF
the early losses were recovered. The
rally carried several issues near the
closing quotation of yesterday, but on
the recovery trading became distinct
ly dull.
Most Of the active stocks closed at
fractional losses for the day, the
market being very quiet in the final
trading. There was no change in
foreign discount rates and the tone
was easy. Exports of wheat from the
United States this week exceeded by
nearly 100000 bushels ell other
records for the period.
