The tactics of Sheridan in his Shen-

new. He was cautious himself to q
degree that in others has brought con-
demnation. and he persistently ignored
the wishes of the department ut Wash

blows and bold advance into the in
terror. His cavalry was not primarily
his fighting force. Sheridan command
ed an army. At Cedar creek he had
seven divisions of infantry and three
of cavalry. and the cavalry was about
one-third of the force. At Opequan
and Fishers Hill he formed his main
line of infantry and placed the horse

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS Ap.
PEALS TO THE FARMERS OF
WEST VIRGINIA,

On account OF the war waging In
Europe, the Department OF Agricul-
ture would advise farmers OF West
Virginia to sow a good area Of wheat
this coming season. No matter what
the result Of the war will be or of
how long duration, 1t has already Gre
ated a market for wheat which will
be far beyond any demand we have
had in recent years.
II seems to US that it will be i'm
possible under the circumstances not
to have a good market for all the
wheat that can be produced in the
States net year, and that tho
price will not be materially effected.
American farmers must feed tho
world while Europe is fighting and
we must keep up our home supply a.
well which will also be drawn on ex.
.tensiyely by the warning countric.
Special attention should be given
to the preparation of the seed bed,
and where commercial fertilizers arc
used q grade should be purchased
hat is adaptable to the soil. In our
Judgment the farmers of West vir-
yinia will make no mistake in Civ
ing particular attention to this sub
lect this fall.

The Universal Film Manufactur-
Ing Co. will release another sereal,
Trey o. Hearts, following the present
Universal sereal, Lucille Love, to be
released in fourteen or sixteen dis
tinct parts, each of two or three reels
in length.
Louis Joseph Vance, one OF the
best known modern fiction writer's.
has been engaged to write the new

the largest newspapers throughout
the United States will carry the story.
In Europe, Australia and South
America the new Vance serial will
be arranged along the same line in
conjunction with the photoplays as

Mr.. Vance is one of the few Writ,

incidents in them. His novels. which
ran serially in Muncie's Magazine
The Brass Bowl. The Black Flag and
The Bronze Bail, were particularly
noted for the yirile treatment given

at the Universal's West Coast studios
at Los Angeles, CAL, and It Is expect.
ed that the author will assist in the
screen adaptation of the story.
