Balance on Hand .....S 1864
This money could not have been
raised had not our newspapers done
for us what they did. Mrs. Hall,
our secretary, kept clippings OF the
play ground work during the sum-
mcr and l feel certain that hun
dreds of dollars OF. space was given
us by each of the papers, We ex-
tend them our gratitude.
The grounds closed September 1st,
having been open ten weeks. Tho
reports show there was an average
attendance on the larger grounds OF
one hundred and fifty per day and
sixty on the Quincy street ground.
During this time we hadstwo super
visors. Mr.. Slater proved himself a
builder OF grounds as we'll as an
athlete. Mr.. Howard Cornwell, OF
Pittsburgh, who was man of five
years experience IN the play ground
work, was a great help to us in the
organization OF our work, and dur
ing his time here we carried on four
weeks of Industrial work. Mrs.
Samuel Brobst, having charge of
this, ably assistedby the Y. w. C. A.
girls OF FairmonL. Miss Virginia
Brookficld had charge of the girls
and was most faithful and conscien-
tious in her work. Miss Laura Mae
Huntington, who was with us few
weeks, proved herself most compe-
tent, and q true play ground worker.
The picnic held on September LIST
was attended by 800 children, most
of whom competed for prizes in their
athletic work.
Our equipment consisted of three
giant slides, twenty swings. fifteen
See-saws, two complete sets of tools.
two cronuet sets. sand and boxes,
sand alone costing $500, two play
ground balls, two base balls, and two
first aid boxes.
f In conclusion, want to say your
committee realizes fully its short
comings; realizes that it knew little
about cquipping and establishing
play grounds; that its knowledge
was from reading and not from
grounds in operation. 1t feels, how
ever, with the handicap it labored
under, that it made a fair begin
ming. The people of our city, gen
orally, have come to realize the i'm |
Dortance of the play ground move
nent, and know something of its
hold on the country. This begin
hing, If properly followed up, by the
IVoman's Club and Board of Educa-
ion will show results far beyond the
expectations of its most enthusiast
lie supporters. The pioneer work Is
lone, the ground has been broken;
Ill we need now is to follow up, cul
ttvate and elaborate and the play
ground in Fairmont will be a per-

with September Morn, at the Grand
Tonight.

Tonight.
In the history OF the Grand Opera
House, many excellent attractions
have been poorly patronized because
they came to Fairmont too near the
date of some more pretentious offer
ing which overshadowed them in
public interest and advertising. Such
seems to be the case of September
Morn" a fine musical comedy which
is billed for the play house tonight,
Last night the sale for the musical
show was far from being what it de-
served and the cause seems to be that
another production to be here on
Saturday is one which has ben her
aided for weeks and one OF the most
lavish on the one night stands.
No one connected with the West
Tirginian has seen September Morn
this season but this paper is most
reliably informed that 1t is one of
the most brilliant, sparkling, tune
full and enjoyable musical offerings
en- the road this season. The other
night 1t was in Wheeling and next
morning all four of the papers prais-
ed 1t in more lavish terms than they
have mentioned any show of its kind
this season. All agreed that from
the standpoint of tunefulness. it was
the best seen at the Court for many
weeks. Besides these recommends
tions comes that of Foster Moore
here yesterday in advance of flu
ture attraction who recently saw
September Morn. 1t is, he said, clean,
high toned tuneful and one of the
best plays he has witnessed this sea-
son. The Offering is a Chicago pro-
duction which is in its favor in Fair
mont, is well cast and nicely outfit
ted, SO this paper is informed. The
early report that it is rather risque
and on the order of a burlesque Is
far from the truth.
Good attractions have been far too
scarce in Fairmont for the regular
patrons Of the Grand to miss one,
hence the object of this warning. 1t
Is entirely probable that those who
like sparkling comedy and bright mu-I
sic will enjoy tonight's Offering just
as well as will those who like more
classic poetry like the production on
he day afterwards.

will be difficult to turn the wheat
market Newspapers say exports sales
o fwheat abroad are exceedingly large.
A temporary resting spell in the wheat
selling Is due today along with a rally.
The country continues to sell very
small amounts OF corn and the corn
futures are regarded as in firm posi-
ton. There is, however, tendency TO
demand a break in corn on the basis
of the liberal June advance. The gov
eminent report on oats has had a sur
prisingly trifing effect and the bulls
are out with new buying opinions. 1t
is calculated that the June hot spell
will cost oats several points. Corn to
date has made a fair average start In
about so per cent of the belt. Another
week of dry and hot will however
bring many complaints.
Foster says the cotton states will
continue dry through June. Rains
will continue in Canada, about the
great lakes and in northeastern sec
ton of the states. In the middle lati-
tudes large sections will continue dry.
This Foster letter Is dated June and
confirms his very excellent June fore
casts issued two weeks ago. He says
new weather conditions will come In
July. Lemar, Mo-, reports considera-
BILE wheat offered from the thresher.
This is in line with requests from Mis-
souri, bearing on wheat bids from Chi
cago in first ten days of July.

Liverpool Situation.

Liverpool, June 10.-There was a
disposition for profits at opening here
prompted by the easy American cables
yesterday. lower closing at Winnipeg
and pressure of new winter wheat at
a slight decline. A fair demand de
veloped on the decline for parcels of
winter and the continent bidding more
freely. some shorts covered and part
OF the loss was recovered. The con-
tinental demand has been an extraord-
mary large scale and it is expected
that the demand will continue and this
serves to encourage speculative SUP
port.
Corn lower on the fine weather re-
ported in Argentine and freer Danub-
ian offers with cargo offers 1 1-2 to 8
pence decline. Later the distant
months advanced with shippers buy
ing. Spot market was under pressure
and 3-4 lower at the opening for plate.

Gates a new crop decrease or sO,ooo''
900 or more as compared with 1913.
The Sitting" of our 1914 wheat crop
through trade channels will evidently
be something for us to remember. The
government oats guess can be ques-
toned. Certainly the market fails 10
accept it. The June oats report. how
ever. is an early document. Oats crop
deficiencies usually show up in June.
The western corn belt has sold
trifies of corn only for several days.
Our report shows that the east.
throughout its numerous arteries, is
running on small corn stocks. Con-
tracts by Argentina are tickle affairs.
Our correspondents wire repeatedly
that Argentina cannot relieve their
June corn situation seriously.
At this period the old corn months
arc always In the grip of the grain
raiser and there are no large terminal
supplies to be used as a shelter for
bears. We have reports Of corn SELL
ing at IS cents in Oklahoma, so cents
in Kansas, 20 cents in Iowa, rs cents
in southern Illinois. and So cents in
Missouri.
Among security news we note a re-
duced steel rnil order from the Penn
sylvania road and further details Of
the Incredible millions pouring into

business cannot be discerned and it
may be that our amusement spirit is
sapping our desire to create business
records.
Just as long as the wheat news from
the northwest and Canada is favorable
there will be little merit in wheat.
Corn, oats, cotton and ribs are az.
tractive to the buyer.
