I am perfectly willing. 10 admit

pended on, or that the farmer brings
in his produce when he happens to
lave it without consulting anyone
or engaging 1T in advance and then
blames the merchant because lie has
a supply and cannot use more.
However, the writer tried garden-
ing on small scale experimentally
a couple years. Two years ago I had
gone vegetables to sell and no mar
ket. One day 1 went to six of the
principal groceries in Fairmont. u
each ] asked the same question:
Want any sweet corn, tomatoes,
beans, cucumbers. etc" All same
answer, "Notlting:R OF all l asked.
"can you tell mel when you will want
any, Saturday,? No? Next weeK?
No? wleis:'ifsAn} said, "oh we
can't tell you ahead when we want
anything bring some in when you
have it or lett bis 5know and we can
tell you If we want any" What be-
comes of the contention that tlid
farmer wont contract ahead for GER
tain days? Is it merely convenient
subterfuge? OF each l asked, DO
you buy of the home growers or OF
the produce houses?' and each said
lie bought of home growers but the
markets were Just swamped. Now
really WHO Of you believe that a half
dozen of the largest groceries in
Fairmont were purchasing all vege-
tables of local growers ana the mar
kets were so swamped that vegeta-
bles were going to waste? Now
don't all speak at once. rfsthat Is
true it is no longer matter Of get
ting people interested in gardening,
!. is question of finding u market
for the surplus.
In justice to at least one grocery
IL Fairmont will say that they buy,
to my knowledge, Of local growers ex-
clusively, buteI don't wish to EN-:
tarrass anyone BY giving names as
of course they can't buy all that ev-
crybody has to sell.
The other point is the difference
between what the grower gets and
what the consumer pays, and let me
say AM moved TO write this screed
IS much by the appeal of the wo-
mans Clubs as by the circular of the
Chamber of Commerce.
When grower sells to u mer-
chant lie usually receives trade, and
about 60 to IS per cent. of the retail
Price. For instance, he sells bunch

see that the farmertgets q square deal
in the disposal Of what he produces.
I. is not nearly so important, from
the farmers point of view, that more
be produced as that the farmer be
assured Of prompt market for what
he does produce, and a fair share OF
what te consumer has to pay for tile
same. When that much desired con-
summation has been brought about
twill be little trouble to getsthc peo-
pie to growing things. OF course !
don't refer to such staples as wheat,
corn, oats, hay, etc. The growing
|cf these things is of doubtful profit
in most places near Fairmont any
way. Irefer to truck and vegetables.
Now, I don't wish to be misunder-
stood. am not actuated by any i'll
will in the least toward the Chamber
of Commerce, nor its secretary, Mr..
Evans. Nor yet the business men OF
Fairmont, or the idea OF a county
agent. am in hearty favor Of the
latter. If were financially able /
would be glad to help 1t on, and will
give what moral support ! can in my
humble way. However, / am con-
WINGED that the matter of which /
speak is a crying evil. also believe
that the Chamber Of Commerce, il ii
will, can do much in the matter, and
there is no better way In the world
for them to prove TO the farmers
their faith by their works, SO to
speak. Let the merchants who be-
long to said Chamber buy vegetables
and truck Of Marion county growers
in preference to growers elsewhere,
in preference to the wholesale pro-
duce houses.
Many may declare that such is al
ready their policy but I can easily
prove that such is not the general
policy Of the Fairmont grocers. 1t is
true there are few, q very few, who
will not buy of the wholesale pro-
duce men when they can procure OF
local growers but they are the ex.
ccption and not the rule.
Two or three years ago the Hortl-
cultural Department of the Agricul-
tvral! college and Experiment Sta
ton at Morgantown had represea-
tatiye interview about all the gros
eerymen in Fairmont and other towns
IN regard to their attitude toward
the purchasing of vegetables of home
growers. The results Of these views
were written down and filed. 1t
was the good fortune of the writer
to see these reports. Some few re-
ported that they always gave the
home grower preference and bought
few supplies of that Kind elsewhere
in summer; others, and they were
more numerous. stated that while
they got. u few vegetables OF local
growers the source Of supply was IN

the masculine viewpoint OF life through
its drama lists, managers and producers.
although there are few women
dramatists and a few actresses whose
word carries authority and a very few
women stage managers and producers,
still in general It is impossible to get
across any real and distinctive feminine
feeling or opinions. Although IS per
cent. Of the theatre going public Is COM
posed of women nd consequently the
managers are lying awake nights trying
to secure productions which will make
a hit with them. they obstinately refuse
to accept women's Judgment. No mat
ter what an author says the play is
remodelled and whipped into shape by
those men in charge, who cause the
herolnes to talk and act not as real
women would but as men think that
women ought to talk and act.
"Then again It Is the women Of to-day
who have the leisure, ideals. aspirations
to put upon the stage something fine
and noble. The word elevate has been
worked to death. We do not want
things elevated: we desire no luxury. no
high subtleties, no stars or personalities
airing themselves and commanding i'm
mense salaries, for which people pay in
the exquisite JOY OF gazing at their
gorgeous costumes. We intend to get
down to essentials.
There shall be no moralizing. but a
simple, natural method by which the
people can learn life, its richness and
Its lessons through a perfectly natural
reproduction Of the experiences Of real
people. There shall be no man con-
nected with the management, because
men have tendency to monopolize and
manipulate, and We desire to work out
certain ideals OF the woman's national
theatre along certain definite feminine
lines. 1T must be clean. 1t must be

that the Woman's National Theatre Is
