SECOND YEAR or HELEN LOSES TEN Doll
MARRIED LIFE. TEL R WARETN iBo BOUT fr ~
BY MABEL HEIlBFIT URNER.

Helen took of her coat and put il
with her handbag and bundles on a
chair beside her. Then she drew out
her gloves. united her veil and leaning
back with a sight of relief. She was
tired. very tired
Ii was the last day OF her Christmas
shopping. She had started out at Ii
this morning. IL was about and she
had come up 20 the restaurant on the
top floor OF "A big department store for
a light luncheon and few moments
rest.
The place vas crowded. Every body
looked tired and everybody had
bundles. The mattresses were rushing
back and forth with orders Of chicken
patties, lobster salad, chocolate eclairs
and all the other things that women
have when they lunch alone.
Helen had ordered tea and chicken
broth as something quickly served
and eaten. The waitress put IL down be
fore her. scribbled off a check for
thirty cents AND hurried on.
Helen slipped at the broth slowly.
X was interesting 10 watch the
wOmen-and they We're all women. In
the whole OF that huge lunch room
there were hardly half a dozen men.
And what tired worried unattractive
looking women.
Instinctively she drew out her

rubbed a leaf from a powder book
over her face. There was nothing
that made her more uncomfortable
than a feeling Of untidiness and a
consciousness Of a shiny nose.
She was not rested; she would have
liked TO have fingered longer over the
tea. but there was still many small
things 10 be bought and IL took so
long now to be waited on. Slowly she
drew on her gloves and gathered up
her packages.
When she opened her purse 20 pay
the check she suddenly discovered
that instead Of having a ten dollar bill
and some change-she had only the
change.
The Lost Money.
With a sick sinking at her heart
she searched restlessly through her
purse handbag. muff and under the
table. Again she searched through
her purse. handbag, muff and under
he table, but still no billi Woman
like she was futilely repeating this
process for the third time when the
waitress came up.

again Helen made her nervous search

To The Farmers OF West VIRGINIA.

On account OF the war raging in Eu
rope, the Department of Agricu',ur,
would advise farmers of West Vireini
to sow good area of wheat this coming
season. No matter what the result OF
the war will be or of how long duration,
it has already created a market for
wheat which will be far beyond any de-
mand we have had in recent years.
1t seems to us that it will be impossi-
bic under the circumstances not to have
good market Tor all the wheat that
can be produced in the United States
next year, and that the price will not be
materially effected. American farmers
must feed the world while Europe is
tighting and we must keep up our home
supply as we'll which will also be drawn
on extensively by the warning countries.
Special attention should be given 10
the preparation of the seed bed. and
where commercial fertilizers are used a
grade s1ould be purchased that is adapt.
able to the soil. In our judgment the
farmert of West Virginia will m axe no
mistake in giving particular attention
to this subject this fall.

4 Many-Sided Fair.

The management of the Great Hagers-
town Interstate FAIR are working to
make that Fair as many sided as posi-
BILE. They believe that FAIR must be
increasingly instructive, inspirational
and entertaining and are working to
make the Great Hagerstown Fair fill
this formula. Fait managers generally
are doing this and the management of
the Great Hagerstown Fair have moth
ing but praises for other fairs, but, they
do say to you, without fear of contradic-
ton, that their Fair leads. Stop and
think what they offer you. Figure
whether or not visit to the Great Ha-
gerstowu Iuter-Sta Fair next October
would be Of value to you from the stand
point of business as we'll as of pleasure.
Ii some other Fair is nearer, don't stay
away from it. You can gam something
there, but, we believe you can gam
MORE OF whatever you want MOST
by spending few days at the Great Ha
gerstown Interstate Fair. Try it and
see. The management urges compar-
sons.
