MEET IN STH CONVENTION

WHEELING, w. Va, Dec. 10.--Ir
the development of the country anc
the rush for position, power anc
wealth, very little thought has beer
given by the majority of people to the
protection Of wild life. The same i.
true of the exploitation of the wood.
lands, which has continued until the
conservation of forests has become one
Of the most important issues of the
day
Eight years ago there was formed
IN the city of Clarksburg an Nassocia-
tion which set for itself the task Of
conserving both game and forests
the West Virginia Forest, Fish and
Game Protective Association. This or
ganization is now holding its eighth
annual convention in Wheeling. From
ninety-five its membership has in
creased until it numbers over 600, and
with representatives in each county
In the state.
BY bringing these members together
annually better understanding can
be had relative to conditions existing
throughout different sections. With
this object in mind two sessions were
held yesterday in this city, with fir
sized representation from far noints
Of the state in attendance.
One of the most important subjects
which will be considered during the
present convention is the establish
ment of fish hatcheries in West Vir-
ginia, to be supported by the state.
Action will not be taken on this mat
ter, however, until this evening.
At last evenings meeting two excep-
tionally interesting and enlightening
discussions were held. The first on

was led by w. H. Weaver, formerly of
New York, now of the West Virginia
Central Fire Protective Association; j.
B. Samson, of Pittsburgh, editor of the
well-known publication an the Open"
told Of the propagation of game in the
state of Pennsylvania, and how the
same work could be carried out in
West Virginia
Mr.. Weaver, in his paper on for
estry protection, gave credit for the
great decrease in fire losses in West
Virginia to alliance of the federal SER
vice, of the state service, and an asso-
citation of cumberland owners, known
as the Central West Virginia Fire Pro-
tective Association. By working to-
gether these organizations, he said, |
had been able during the past year to
reduce the loss from forest fires over
rs per cent.
He told of the establishment of look
out towers ON high mountain tons.

WHY THE WOMEN LOST.

WASHINGTON, D. C.--Indignation
is expressed at the National Woman's
Suffrage headquarters over the reports
that are coming in from Ohio, where
an equal suffrage amendment to the
constitution was defeated in the recent
election. A formal statement from the
Ohio suffragists will show that while
the suffragists supported the dry
cause in the election, the drys did not
reciprocate. An informal report is
sued hy the suffragists Of Summit
county, Ohio, states that the figures
indicate that some of the vets voted
for the suffrage amendment.
Although there were 1924 votes
cast in this county for home rule. an
out-and-out wet amendment, there
were only 11,279 votes cast against
suffrage. Nearly a thousand men
voted wet but did not oppose suffrage
and probably some of them actually
voted for it" says the report.
And what were the drys doing !?

fore breakfast"
I'VE need better deputy system
a more comprehensive forestry law,
we need bird and game refugees in
every county in the state where birds
and game may be propagated and pro-
tected. We need system whereby
our birds may be fed during the ex-
treme cold weather of winter.
Eve have the greatest opportunity
in West Virginia to make success Of
these subjects Of any state in the
Union, but results will not be accom-
plished unless we apply modern meth
DDS to this work.
There are many little changes that
should be made to correct inconsistent
cies of the law, but in my judgment
all other provisions sink into insig-
nificance when compared to this one
fundamental or basic principal, with
out which we will not and can not sue

where provided with long range fielt
glasses and telephones, watchers were
able to detect an outbreak of fire with
in a radius of sixteen miles, and tt
direct attention to it Immediately
and of a patrol system under which
woodsmen were employed to travel
over long routes through the forest
on the alert for all fire hazards. Every
effort, he stated, is being made to edu.
cate the people frequenting the woods
and impress them with the Importance
of fire prevention.
Game Propagation.
"ln the state of Pennsylvania over
one million acres of ground are being
used as game preserves" Mr.. Samson
stated in discussing the subject of game
propagation. "Six preserves have been
established and the increase in the
number of deer and wild turkey, which
have been planted is remarkable.
I'VE have recently inaugurated a
new scheme. In order to give every
citizen an opportunity for hunt, we
are using the money obtained from
resident hunters licenses, to lease tho
hunting rights on large tracts Of suit
able land in each county. am of the
opinion that this system could easily
oe aadopted in West Virginia"
Rev. D. S. Hammond, of Middle
bourne, formerly pastor of the Chap
line Street M. E. church, this city, de-
lighted those present by the telling Of
a number Of interesting and even
thrilling hunting experiences. Before
entering the ministry, Rev. Hammond
spent much time in the hunting of big
game, and included in his reminis-
censes of last evening were number
of "real bar stories"
1t was announced by President j.
A. Viquesney that two of the speak
ers scheduled to deliver addresses be-
fore the convention at the last minute
found it impossible to be present, in
GLIDING the Rev. A. B. Brooks, of Nor
gantown; Senator R. L. Gregory, of

Of Marlinton.

burg; DR.. D. P. Fitch, of Fairmont; ].

There will be number of changes
in the program, formerly announced
Tor today, but it is hoped to finish up
most of the business at the afternoon
session. In the evening there will be

Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1914-12-17

!. with an address of welcome to the Wis
iting delegates by J. Harold Brennan
city solicitor. F. M. Glenn, of Parsons
Tucker county, responded on behalf o.
the association.
In his annual address, President
A Viquesney, after reviewing the pas
history Of the organization and tracing
its growth from its formation al
Clarksburg in 1906 to the present time
told some Of the things which have
been accomplished through the com
bined efforts of it's members.
Since this association was formed, >
he said, 1--WE have seen a wonderful
change, not only in the enactment of
laws, but better sentiment favoring
their enforcement. The sale of all
kinds of game and the shipment of
same from the state has been prohib-
tied, which has done more to save our
remnant of game than all other pro-
visions of the law. Open seasons have
been shortened, a close season has
been established on the woodduck and
all imported game birds, and better
sss,.'aeS.ssen system has been established
throughout the state.
"A splendid provision of law was
enacted by the 1909 legislature estab-
fishing resident hunters license, but
before it was fully demonstrated the
great good that this law would do, it
was repealed by the Legislature of
1911. This law was really measure
which benefited the farmer more than
any other class, because the farmer
was allowed to hunt on his own or adj
joining land without any license what
ever, the sportsman did not object to
it, for he above all others realized the
good that would come from such law
in fact, no one objected seriously to
the law, except few pot and market
hunters, whose chief mission in life
seemed to be the final humiliation of
our game and birds. Had this law that
you asked for seven years ago not
been repealed we would today stand in
the fore front of states in game and
fish propagation and protection.
"The Appalachian forest reserve
bill, Endorsed by your meeting, seven
years ago has become reality, and
West Virginia will profit immensely
BY the government acquiring vast
areas of mountain land for the purpose
Of preserving the fast disappearing
forests of the state, and assist
in preserving an even water supply
for the streams and rivers of our
staets.
Already more than 100000 acres of
this land has been approved for pur-
chase, with a purchase area of almost
one million acres yet to be investigat-
ed. All the lands approved for pur-
,hase by the government are carefully

Forest Fires Decrease.
THE West Virginia conservation
committee collected data in the year
1909 which showed that we had ITO
forest fires during this single year,
burning over an area of 1,703, $50
acres, the standing timber was 943,-
$4,000 feet, worth s2,9O3,5OO. The
lumber, tan bark, and improvements
burned were valued at $490,175; the
injury to underground and soil was
placed II s1,703,s50, making a total
loss Of 5000. 1926.
I'm the six years since we have had
system of preventing and extin-
gushing forest fires, we have had less
than one-half the loss that accrued in
the single year of 1908. More than
$5,000,000 of forest products have been
saved each year through the instru-
mentality of this provision alone.
Mr.. Viquesney said that .ka~,paen-.
toned these few matters to remind
that the very things asked for in the
meeting seven years ago have been ac-
complishea.
There ara few things yet needed"
he said, "and this association can WELD
tremendous influence if all will work
together toward that end.
eve need above all things else, the
re-enactment of the resident hunters
license. / have talked to many men,
bers of the legislature of the session
Of 1911, and they practically all admit
that the repeal Of this law was bad
mistake. This law, if again put upon
our statute books, will not only fur
nish revenue sufficient to make the

by which many violations of the law
can be successfully detected.

Need Fish Hatcheries.
I'VE must have at least fish hatch
cry or two if we ever expect to stock
our streams with fish. 1t is true the
government has furnished us a few
fish in the past years, but as far as an
ample stocking of our streams is con-
cerned, this supply is nothing less than
a joke. There were only 1886 fish
planted in West Virginia during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1914" He

UNCONVENTIONAL: For the dinner at the restaurant followed by the theater you should wear a semi-evening dress, though many women wear full ball costumes with elbow sleeves. rather than short ones. Either trained gown or one that just clears the ground is permissible. As you are commuter you will find the latter prefeable. If you must get new gown, the most serviceable for such occasions will be one of black satin with tunic of black chiffon, the blouse part over white lace with perhaps a little gold lace on the lower part of the bodice. Have the neck cut In rather deep front and back and the sleeves tc just turn the elbows and loose and straight. The sleeves need not have the lace under them. With this costume wear soft. dressy hat of black velvet, with white feather or ornament white gloves and black slippers with cut steel buckles, if you have party shoes, otherwise wear smart patent leather shoes. You will need a long evening coat. This should not be too tight, as travelling in the cars Is hard on it.

 MRS D. D. D.: Grape is not so perishable nor so costly as it was formerly. It is pre- pared by new process and is not ruined by every drop of water. A nice quality for bandings ana other triihininss can pe poushe for s1, ,50 to S2 yard. It is not confined to widows, but is worn by every one who goes Into deep mourning for near relative. The length of wearing crape differs with the degree of relationship. For parent, broth- er or sister it is worn at least six months. generally for year. A widow wears 1t two years or longer, though some young widows take 1t off at the end of year. As you want to wear deep mourning for your father-in-law as if he were your own parenr. by all means have your gowns trimmed with crape, but wear short net or chiffon veil with deep crape border rather than the long veil.
 WIDOW: The crepe veil is more fashion
