wish Why should we not ask to
he given places of honor on their
platform and to speak Of our work
and to instruct and edify their COM
munity on the general and state Fed
erations of Women's Clubs.
Second: l would have us continue
in our state meetings the general
Federations session that has been so
successfully carried out in many
ether places. l wish especially to
commend the thought of a general
federation institute where the gen.
e-al federation state secretary meets
in small groups the women and edu-
Gates them over and over again into
what the general federation is really
doing.
Then l would go farther; 1 would
make a call for missionary volun-
teers to deliver the gospel of the
federation to every individual club
at least once each year. Decidedly
I use the term missionary volunteers,
because, friends, if l did not believe
that this work in which we are en-
gagged is religious work, l would
not feel it worth the time that we
are giving it.
| If you could hear the stories of
| sick babies made well, of women
whose lives were forlorn, and men
whose spirits were broken, made well
/ and whole by the gospel we preach,
! you would say that l had a right
to claim we were doing religious
work.
| If we have during these next two
years a religious speaker at every
state and national organization that
will give us a place on it's platform,
If we will have before every state
, convention great living presenta-
| ton of what we stand for for once
each year some consecrated woman
will go to every individual club and
set forth what the general fedora
ton really is, would there be any
| limit to what we could do?

Not, 10 per cent Of the people re-
alize the ha-dships of the life of the

see the hardships they endure, the

would wonder that men and women
could be found who would give the
service that they do for the mere

The News From Maine.

A very significant straw as to
how the political winds will blow
in November is the result in
Maine on Tuesday which result
ed in the election of a Democrat
ic Governor and part of the dele
cation to Congress.
The slump in the Progressive
vote from that recorded two years
ago shows that Teddy is on the
toboggan.
Among those who campaigned
for the Democratic ticket were
Solicitors General Davis and Col.
John I. Martin, Sergeant at Arms

mittee.
Altogether the result is heart
ening to Democracy, and goes to
prove that the people are behind

A Record Worthy of Emula-
ton.

Last Sunday the new Baptist
Church was dedicated under con-
ditions which speak volumes for.
the splendid work of its congre-
cation.
A collection of nearly five
thousand dollars was taken, prac-
tica11y extinguishing the debt.
The edifce is a splendid one
and a real architectural ornament
to the town, as it is monument
to the zeal and se1f-sacrifice of
the men and women who have
made its erection possible.
1t has cost over twenty thous-
and dollars and is perfectly equip
ped and appointed, not only for
public worship, but for all the
activities of progressive, commu-
nity-serving church work.
Those of the Baptist faith have
reason to feel proud of their new
spiritual home, and still more of
the fine spirit actuating the move
ment for its construction. They
have indeed shown the type of
faith which moves mountains. y

An Enjoyable Address.

OF the Jefferson Club and their
friends with an address on The
war situation in Europe. y
An appreciative audience, in

No Time For Pessimism.

This is no time for indulging
in Jeremiads, even if conditions
gave any justification for looking
on the gloomy side of life.
However much other commu-
mites or even sections of our own
country may have reason for la
mentation and business apprehen-
sion-no good reasons exist here
in Jefferson for anything but op-
tirnisn.
With a bumper wheat crop
which will bring far better
price than the farmer dared to
hope for at harvest; with fair
corn crop which this year will
net more than full crop would
in average years; with splendid
apple crop which will bring a lot
of money to the county if grow
ers don't get STAN peded; with
stock of all kinds command
ing good figures and the price of
horses, particularly, likely to en-
hance as result of the war, our
farmers may we'll face the future
with confidence.
One inevitable result of the
European upheava1 would seem
to be a marked improvement in
real estate values.
What other country offers such
safe haven to the investor to-
day as the United States?
And, with the destruction of
railroads, the annihilationof man
ufacturing enterprise and general
decentralization of all business
abroad and the coming demand
for our products which will tax
our every resource to supply,
where else than in this favored
land can the harraSsed of all ma
tions, tax ridden and war COM
scripted to desperation, turn with
greater confidence and safety
than to this, the garden of the
Shenandoah Valley?
The local conditions are excel
lent and likely to steadily i'm
prove. Building has been active
and our industries have achieved
an enjoyable record for steady
employment of their operatives.
Of necessity, the adjustment to
new banking conditions tempor-
arily reduces the supply of mon
ey, but with the Regional Bank
law now becoming operative, all
legitimate demands Of trade will
be accommodated.
And when these good times
do come, the relief will be gener-
al and not confined to the favored
few. Prosperity will permeate
every fibre of the body polite,
and for this happy consummation
the country will largely have to.
thank its great President and his
advisers.

Get-Together Meeting.

The Get-Together meeting and
Dinner to be given under the aus
pices of the Charles Town-Ran-
son Board of Trade bids fair to
be the biggest thing of the kind
ever pulled off in Charles Town,
and deserves, as it doubtless will
have, the hearty endorsement of
those who loYe their town and
want to see it prosper.
Charles Town-Ranson d n t
have to be put on the map. They
are there in big letters. But
while other less favored Commune
mites are putting on the slow
pedal, this is the psychological
moment to draw the attention of
the country to the manifold adj
vantages we have to offer to the
farmer, the manufacturer, the in
weston and those seeking homes
in Gods own country.
The men behind the Board of
Trade movement are not working
for themselves.
If properly backed up, their eff
forts will result in active demand
and better values for real estate,
work and plenty of it for every
one that really wants it, and gen-
eral prosperity in the town and
county.
Already the affair is assuming
big proportions. The dinner will
be given in Rouss Hall at eight
o'clock q Monday evening, Sep
TENDER 18th, and it is enough to
say that it will be served by the
ladies of the Baptist Church.
That means a repast to make
ones mouth water in at1tlclpa-
ton.
High officials of the Balti-
more & Ohio and Norfolk &
Western Railroads, the Secretary
of the National Chamber of Com
merce and other speakers of note
will address the assemblage, as
will Col. R. P. Chew and others
of our own people who haye the
success of the Board of Trade
movement at heart, and are put
ting their time and energies at
the disposal of their fellow citi-
zens.
They should and will be backed
to the limit BY all men and wom-
en- of public spirit. to the end that
new era of prosperity may be
inaugurated, in which the COM
1nunity will join.

for the Southern district of West

matter. They are asked to ASCERTAIN
the cause OF any such advances.
whether justified by conditions in
Europe or not, and to make sug-
gestions as to what action. II any,
should be taken by the government.
Similar instructions have gone out
to every United States attorney In
the United States and they have
been asked to get busy and make re-
port as soon as possible. Here. IN
Washington the work was begun by
turning the matter over to the grand
jury which was in session. and sum-
moning several merchants, buyers
for large hotels and consumers as
witnesses before the grand jury, to
ascertain what effect the war has had
on prices and to inquire the causes Of
the sharp advances which have been
reported in prices.
What plan the West Virginia dis
trict attorneys will pursue is not
known here. nor is it known whether
they will follow the example of the
attorney in the District of Coluu bia
and submit the. matter to the grand
juries. One thing is certain, how
ever, that prices, are soaring and that
the explanation that it + because OF
the war in Europe does not seem to
most people to explain.

DAYTON CASE
May Not Be Reported on BY the
House Committee at Present
Session Of Congress.
,r,Ie,Al q me r,Lra.An,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. IL,
The House committee on the judici-
airy, which has had under considera-
ton the resolution calling for the i'm
parchment of Judge A. g. Dayton,
has shown no inclination to make
report upon the matter soon. There Is
no disposition on the part of any
member of Congress to take up at
this session any matter which can be
avoided. and the delay in making
the report may be for the reason that
the members Of the committee do
not want to inflict on the House the
duty of taking up an impeachment
case at this session, from which every
one is anxious to escape. Or 1t may
be that the committee has not had
the opportunity to Investigate the
case to its satisfaction. and is giving
it mature consideration before re-
porting on 1t. There is no indica-
ton now as to when the report may
be expected.
