Especial. )-There will soon be con,
siderable activity in every city, town,
village and hamlet in West Virginia In
preparing plans for observing the 50th
anniversary of the admission, of the
Little Mountain state to the Union
There Is no reason to believe that our
citizens will be less patriotic than those
of other communities in the state, and
as soon as the 0au is announced for a
mass meeting here to take some def.
mite action there will probably be a
nearly response. AS is we'll known,
the date of West Virglnia's birthday
party Is June 20, and an effort will be
made to declare a legal holiday for
that occasion.
The publicity bureau of the Semi.
Centennial Commission has been &C,
tive for the past so days in sending out
literature informing West Virginians
of the desirability OF making the
golden jubilee matter of state-w wide
observance. The idea has met with
favor everywhere, and hearty letters
or response have been received en-
dorsing the plan and offering earnest
cooperation and assistance towards
making the event success.
1t is impossible in the short time at
the command of the Semi Centennial
Commission to personally reply to
every one who has sent a West Vir-
Or ri lou ~ To-
letters sent out, and this paper is re-
quested to thank those In our com
munity for their interest and the
promptitude with which they have in
dicated an interest in the approaching
anniversary and a desire to assist.
meeting will undoubtedly be called
here In few days, notice OF which
will be given in our columns. 1t Is to
be hoped that there will be a big turn
out and that our people will give as
good an account of themselves as any
other in the state. The statewide OBJ
servance of so important an epoch In
cur history is tribute that will not
only appeal to and arouse the pride
and patriotism of our people, but will
be looked upon as rare privilege that
will call for spontaneous and hearty
response throughout the common
wealth
There Will be no apathy here, and
our columns will be open to the Semi
Centennial Commission in their worthy
and patriotic endeavors and to our
readers who have suggestions to offer
as to what form the celebration shall
take in our home town.
Let US get busy and show our neigh
bcrs that we are ever ready to take an
active part in matters pertaining to
the stimulation Of state pride. Success
to West Virginia's Birthday Party,
June 20l Let's make our participation
3 noteworthy one.

In big campaigns where casualties
