having looked the field over and decided what they wanted done, asked for estimates of the cost of the work from several different parties, th4 estimates when receiv- ed running all the way from $25OO up to $4,U0O.
 The council has been working quietly on the matter ever since and last night it Was brought up and decisive action taken to push it along to an elr'y completion. The public works committee was au. thorized to proceed with the work at once and Marshall Page was in structed by them to get out the brush for the filling and as soon as the frost is out of the ground so that work can be prosecuted to ad- vantage to go ahead with it with all speed.
 Mayor Ganty was or the opinion, which was concurred in by the oth- CT members, that it is better for the present council 70 iuaugurate the work, although theg may not re main in office long enough to see it completed, for the reason that they have familiarized themselves with what is necessary to be done, the probable cost and everything else pertaining to it, whereas it will take newly elected members some time to acquire this Knowledge, and when they are well enough posted to act intelHgently the season will be so far advanced that work will have to be put off for another year.
 We think Mayor Gunty and the members of the town council are to be commended for their action last night, for a portion of the large surplus 'n the town treasury can be put to nc better use than to turn the waters of the river so that it will be practically Impossible for the spring freshets to cause any great amount of damage within the town.

SAFEGUARDING THE TOWN.

To Mayor P. H. Ganty, probab- Iy more than to any other one mem Der of the town council, is due the action taken last night ill reference to the putting in of q wingdam at the intersection of 18th street with the Skagway river for the protection of property against the spring freshets that each year threaten to overwhelm the town and to cause an immense amount of damage.
 This has been A very apparent menace ever since tns tUwL was first located and soue work has been done by both the town govern ment and the w. P. & Y. Route management to turn the waters of the river across to tine westward side of the valley along the base of the foothills there, where they would have a straight and unob- structed outlet into 'ae head of the bay.
 The work done so far, however, has been of a temporary character and not of nature to withstand such a torrent of water as is liable 10 pour cown from the mountains in the spring when the warm sun melts the snows that have been ac- cumulatilg all winter.
 Last May, after the danger of flood had passed, Mayor Gauty and several members oi the town coun- cil made an Investigation of the most practical method of safe guarding the city and reached the conclusion that a wingdam, con- structed of willows and rock, with filling of sand, would prove very much like those built on the Miss issippi river, where the action of the water has a tendency to sOlidify the work and make it permanent.

Lime is Needed.

Nine-tenths of the unproductive
lands in West Virginia are deficient
in lime and humus Normal produc-
tiyeness is out Of the question until
the lime and humus have been re-
stored. Farmers can grow the humus
vegetable natter, but the lime must
be applied, and this, with lime at the
present price, is the most serious
problem confronting the farmers Of
this state at this time, No very gen.
eral improvement need be expected
in the so-called worn out" lands Of
the state until lime is obtainable at
much lower prices.
Fortunately there is no county in
the state but has small lodges Of
limestone that could be used II burnt
or crushed in small local plants and
the Experiment Station is receiving
many samples of such formations
from farmers in all parts Of the state.
Such samples are analysed free Of
charge in the order received, provided
they represent the ledge formation
from which they were taken and pro-
Yided further that they are accom-
panied by all data necessary to locate
the formations. A series Of pieces Of
rock taken across the face Of the
ledge from top to bottom makes a
fairly good sample.
Anyone interested in locating and
utilizing local lime supply should

Experiment Station, Morgantown,

Garden Pests,

Simple and effective remedies for
two Of the most common and de-
structive garden pests were recently
outlined by Professor l.. NJ. Montogom-
cry, of the College of Agriculture,
Ohio State University. Cucumber
beetles and cabbage worms are among
the worst pests the gardener has to
fight The cucumber beetle is a small
yellow beetle with black stripes run
ming down its back. 1t causes heavy
damage not only to cucumbers but to
melons and other vining plants.
One part of paris green to fifty to
100 parts of air slaked lime is very
effective remedy. This should be sift-
I'D over the plants in the morning
when they are covered with dew. For
the cabbage worm, one ounce OF white
hellebore dissolved in two or three
gallons of water Is used. This should
be sprinkled or sprayed heavily on
the cabbage If some soap is added
II will add to the sticking properties
Of the solution. The helebore may
ak o be applied in powder form. 1t

poisonous properties are lost on eX-
posure to the air for two or three days.
This makes it necessary to repeat the
application on the plants every few

West Virginia Republicans are no

that the Senate was stirred up by
reports that a gold mining project

Census Committee. Our own Will

lis incidentally some pumpkins as a
promoter, still no one in West vir-

Automobiles

The trade estimates that
the sales of automobiles for
1914 will aggregate a total
of $500, 100000.
1t is interesting to note
that this immense volume
of business has been largely
built up through persistent
advertising linked with con-
sistent craftsmanship.
And more enIghtening
still is the fact that much
the larger percentage of Gu-
tomobile advertising is used
IN the daily newspapers.
The newspaper GdUertis-
ing aghick IN most cases is
directly linked up aUith the
name of the local dealer is
the sales message that
brings direct results.

not been such aggressive
and intelligent advertising
its manufacture would still
be among the infant indus

that West Virginia coal is displacing
Welsh coal In a number of markets,
Especially is this true as to the
Mediterranean ports and Egypt, and
Welsh coal producers are beginning
to fear those markets are slipping

ton In its grip. Presidents,

major and minor leagues in the
United States. These athletes
combined earn salaries amount
ing to more than 5000, 900 a
season-some star players are
said to receive more than $15,-
600 for six months work. The
outcome Of games is awaited
throughout the country with
deeper interest than many Of the
grave problems that confront
the government. There Is hard
ly a school, university or So
cial club In the country that is
not represented at least once on
the baseball diamond during the
year. There are many baseball
HAhes Inaue up OF girls ana Wp-
men who can play nearly as well
as their brother-players in many
minor leagues. Baseball is not
only the national game today; it
is rapidly becoming information

there are rabfd baseball fans and
professional players. In the
