When February i, 1914 arrived the
Harringtons planned to attend the
picture shows in the evening, in cele-
bration of the event, but large COM
pany of self-invited guests ladened
with eats, besieged their home and
caused them to change their plans.
So carefully were the arrangements
made for the affair that the impromp-
tu hosts were treated to the surprise
of their lives, but this in no way de-
tracted from the warmth of welcome
accorded the guests or the jolly good
time in store for all the participants.
MIR. and Mrs. Harrington were pre-
sented with a set of fine china, which
was in itself eloquent evidence of the
regard i'm which they are held. All

celebrate their diamond wedding an

Shortage of Spaghetti.

Olive oil is a comestible which orig
mates in Italy, France, and Greece. As
France is involved in war and Italy
likely to be, and as consignments are
not likely to come in any large guam
titles out of the Aegean, the price OF
all foreign oils has been on the ascend
ing scale.
The Florence TASKS filed with the
blood-red Chant wine are seen all
through the Italian quarter. They
adorn the tables when Americans go
in quest of the picturesque at the Ital-
ian table d'hotes. Straw clad and gay
in their gilt labels, they are the signs
of carnival. Now this is gone.
And having mentioned wine, what
should next come before the eye of the
mind but spaghetti and also marcar-
oni? Efforts have been made in this
country to raise a wheat from which
these Italian staples of diet could be
made, but so far the experiment has
not proved to be glittering success.

LEAVE FIRST LADY
Of LAND ASLEEP
At G|RLH0OD HOME

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 12.-President
Woodrow Wilson and his party are
speeding back to Washington today af-
ter the saddest mission which ever
brought president of the United
States to the South. His beloved wife
rests in Myrtle cemetery at Rome, be-
side her father and mother, and the
white house will be a gloomy official
residence for the remainder of the
term.
The scenes in Rome yesterday were
such as few Southern cities have ever
known. There was a Sabbath quiet
over the little city, yet the streets were
thronged with visitors. Every train
had brought hundreds from out of
town and constant stream of car
riages and motors sped in from near
by points. Broad street, its buildings
swathed in mourning black, was even
BACKED with humanity.
Rome was mourning not only for
the First Lady of the Land, but for
Ellen Arson, beautiful girl they once
had known. There were hundreds who
remembered her, many who had been
| her classmates, and they wept as the
funeral cortege passed through the
streets.
The citizens of Rome had worked
three days in preparation for the fun
eral, and they worked Loyalty and WE'LL
The streets and bridges were formally
closed for an hour, business houses
locked their doors, church bells tolled
solemnly for an hour. A fiotilla of
auto trucks were there to bear the
flowers, which filed a special car on
the funeral train.
The funeral itself was marked by
the severest simplicity. There was
no formal escort from station to
church, and the cortege included on
| ly the automobile hearse and autos
with the party from the train. The
| ceremony in the church was brief, but
beautifully impressive, and at the GEM
etery no one was admitted beyond the
personal friends of the family. The
president and his party left for the
return journey about o'clock.

SLATON ANSWERS
SLANDEROUS CARD

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 12.-Governor
John M Slaton has replied vigorously
to the attack made on his family by
Newt Morris, of Marietta, which
charged that Governor and Mrs. Slaton
had failed to make returns of any per-
sonal taxes for 1913. The governor,
upon his return to the city, stated ia
a card to the public:

Epicures Already Lament the
Shortage of French Cham

Cheese and Mushrooms
Irish Bacon a Memory

New York, Aug. 12.-Sardines and
pate de foie gras-all dietary Europe
is spread over the map of the United
States, and here also is a state of
war. The supply has ceased; the for
eign colonies pine for their favorite
delicacies and delicatessen. Their suf-
fering is keen, but what of the epicu-
reans not European-those who have
been brought up to consume the food
from Germany, from France, from
Russia, and have formed habits which
mayhap they cannot break without
much denial of self What is to be
done?
Tons and tons of edible products of
Europe have been coming into this
port every day, rivers of wine and
lakes of larger are the liquid rations
of New York week by week. And re-
member, too, that this New York is the
great entrepot of all things good to
eat shipped from the European shore.
Thousands of kilos of sardines from
the coast of Brittany, Niagaras of OIL
i've oil, hamparts of marmalades are
brought to this port and distributed to
all parts of the United States.
Dependent Upon Europe.
1t is in the city of New York, how
ever, where the foreign colonies are
so great, where the tastes of the
people Of American origin are so cos
mopolitan that the realization will
come as to how dependent Columbia
is for staple Injuries, and sometimes
necessities, upon the resources of Eu-
rope. Times have changed since the
days of the old American hotel, and
now are French kickshaws and Ger
man delicatessen on the bills of fares
of the caravansaries and the restaur-
ants.
German ham is already scarce, and
no more can be had. The same is true
of beer.
Germany has many chapter on
cheese in her dietary history. The an
cient Chinese were accustomed to en-
ploy pots filled with odoriferous sub
stances in wars of determination, and
it is left to Germany to ertain her own
limburger to repel the assaults of the
fastidious races. And Germany, rival
of France in many things, has been
producing a Camembert of excellence.

End of Real Caviar.
The prize contribution of Russia to
the luxurious living of the United
States is caviar, and here it could not
be said by the late MIR. Shakespeare
that so and so was caviar to the
general" The interest in caviar in
this city does not have to be stimulat-
ed. A few grains like black powder
on a tiny square with segment of
lemon alongside are costly, bat in
some quarters, and, in fact, nearly
everywhere but in the Russian section
itself, caviar is regarded as a neces-
sity.
In the lower Russian section there
is great demand for tobacco brought
overland from the distant East.
Little Switzerland has scattered can
tons about the city and stands guard
in the natural rife pits of its own
cheese.
Things From Old England.
England has no definite quarter in
this great city, although the flag of her
consul general flies in State street and
also at the Majestic.
Of course there is the English
breakfast tea, and the defenses might
be made of stodgy crumpets. There
are Yorkshire hams and Irish bacon
and the long line of jams and MARINA
ladies' brought from the other side in
jars. Biscuits in tins, plum pudding,
and various potted cheeses are also as
ISOLATED with the English taste.

Euope's SMploads of DeHcacies Vanish

of which everybody knows, while the
pot cheese has always flourished in
German territory. Even pumpernickel
shall be worth its weight in filed
gold.
Hard Hit for Fine Wines.
The importations of champagne have
fallen off considerably on account of
the short crops of grapes in France,
and the golden wine was high enough
as it was. Now the rates are soaring,
and if the war continues long there
will be none of the gilt topped bottles
to be had at any price.
There are many other wines which
will be missed ere long from the tables
Of the epicures, such as those Of Bur-
gundy and the lighter vintages which
come from the banks of the Rhine.
The supply of cordials of all kinds is
likely to fall off. There will be little
French vermouth to be had for cock
tails.
The holds of the great steamships
which come here in the fall of the year
have great stores of the cheese OF
France. Normandy is a gerat Gaseous
emporium. Her farmers are banded
togther in associations for the produc-
ton and the marketing of cheese.
Brie, Camembert, Roquefort and all
their sisters and cousins will gradual
ly drop from the American market,
and this country Will eventually have
to depend upon full cream of New
York and Ohio.

tons are that the entering class OF the
College of Agriculture will be so large
as to tax its class room facilitles.
Dean Sanderson gives assurance,
however. that all will be properly
cared for With the increase IN the
faculty and with the additional equip
ment, the instruction given Will De
the best for West Virginians, obtain
able anywhere, and the course Is even
attracting students from other states.
There will probably be an entering
class of fifty, total of over one nun
dred students enrolled in the four
year course in agriculture. This num-
Der is not large when compared with
that of other states, but in compar1-
son with the entering class OF 1our
and q total of seventeen Just four
years ago when Dean Sanderson De-
came connected with the inst1tutlon,
the growth is quite remarkable. rms
increase is doubtless due to the TACT
that practically every graduate from
the college is either successful farm-
er or is now holding responsible
position in the agricultural work OF
this or other states.
Among the new men in the faculty
is Professor e. w. Sheets, head OF the
Department of Animal Husbandry,
who spent last year in graduate work
at the University of Illinois. Professor
Sheets grew up on Harrison county

Interest in agricultural education
is now state wide due to the broad

organizing its work to serve all the
