Is Made for a Thanksgiving
Offering for the ChiIdren's
Home at Charleston.

The following earnest appeal for a
Thanksgiving Offering is made in be-
half Of the fChildren's Home Society
OF West Virginia:
The above society was organized
in 1896 for the care and training OF
the orphan and homeless children of
all West Virginia.
Shortly after organization the
Hon. H. G. Davis, the great friend
OF West Virginia orphans, gave the
society a home for the unfortunate
little ones. which is located in
Charleston. w. Va. supplementing
this generous gift by the yet more
helpful donation OF 800 per month
since 1896. To this first building
Mr.. Davis has added a two-story
building, thus greatly increasing the
capacity for caring for orphan chill
dren.
Into this home. named Davis
Child Shelter" In honor of its gener-
Gus donor. we have gathered 785
homeless little ones in whose behalf
we make this earnest appeal for
Thanksgiving offering. We need to
accumulate a surplus fund for win
ter supplies, and to carry the child
rescue work far into the new year.
We would like to give an extended
account of what the rescue of these
1856 homeless orphans means to the
state, society and especially to them
selves, but space will not allow.
We appeal to every patriotic citizen
to send liberal Thanksgiving offer
ing to the undersigned.

Experiences with forest fires on the
national forests this year show that
automobiles, where they can be used,
furnish the quickest and cheapest
transportation for crews of fire fight
ers. Motor rates are higher than
those for teams for the actual time
employed, but the total cost per dis
lance travelled and in wages paid to
men in getting to- fires is much less.
The time-saving is self-evident: trips
which ordinarily require two days
time by team have been made by auto
mobile in asfew hours

RATES NEEDN'T Be RAISED
Unless Express Companies Meant to
Raise Them-There is no Law
to Compel Them

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Mr. Lloyd S. Tenney,
secretary and manager Of the Flori-
da Growers and Shippers League:
To the Members of the Florida
Growers and Shippers League:
On February 1st there was gen.
eral reduction in express rates over
the United States. This reduction
was made at the order of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. 1t
seems that in making the changes,
the rates on fruits and vegetables
shipped from Florida were increased
rather than decreased. There seems
to be some question as to the right
of the express companies in making
the increases, but the fact remains
that the rates now demanded by the
express agents, are greater than they
were before the first of the month.
These increases have no doubt come
from the fact that the old rates were
already below those ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
We trust that these changes have
beel made through misunder-
stan, Ting in the traffic department of
the express company.
On January 10th the Florida
Growers and Shippers League sent
telegram to the Interstate Com
orly5 no hot hoI
increased rates be suspended until
full investigation of the question:
could be made. Many similar tele-
grams were sent by other interested
parties. The commission answered
thru its secretary as follows:
You are advised that the commits
sion declined to suspend the opera
ton of said increased rates, but
this action is without prejudice to
your right to file formal complaint"
In instances throughout the state
the express agents are giving out the
information that it is necessary for
them to collect the increased rates,
since they have been ordered by the
commission This is not true The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
prohibited by law from ordering any
increases in freight or express rates.
If the express companies had rates
lower than were ordered by the
commission, they were perfectly at
liberty to keep these lower if they
SO desired.
1t is the opinion of your manager
that before doing anything further,
an attempt should be made to secure
a reduction, at least to the old rates,
Through personal interview with
the managers of the express COM
pany. Steps have already been TAX
en- by this league to this end. / be-
| lieve these men are too good bust
ness men not to see that an increase
in rates will injure the state, there
fore the business of their company.
calling in this, there remains only
the filing of a formal complaint be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. l should like to have an
expression from you of the advisa-
l'Jility of doing this

ART
Collection to Be Thrown on the
Market as a Result of Bank
IND Firms Failure.

LONDON, JUNE 27.-The failure of
the banking firm Of Chaplin, Milne,
Grenfell and Company, which shook
the financial district recently, will re-
suit in an important art collection OF
old masters being thrown on the mar
ket, at which wealthy American col
lectors are expected to be lively bid
ders. The collection to be auctioned
at Christie's for the benefit OF the
creditors of Arthur M. Grenfell, in
cludes the portrait OF the Countess of
Chesterfield by. Van Duyk, formerly
hung at Blenheim Palace, and a por-
trait Of man in red cap ascribed
to Titan.
The Dutch and Flemish schools are
represented by Boil, Breckelenkan,
Cuyp, Dow, Pieter Dubordieu and
Wouvermans, and the English by
portraits from the. brushes OF Sir
Joshua Reynolds and Sir Thomas
Lawrence. The only modern picture
is G.. F. Watts IA Greek Idyll. .
Much public interest is excited over
the Titan, which has been auctioned
several times by Christie's, for the
uncertainty Of its authorship makes
1t more or less Of gamble.

SALVATION Army
DELEGATES ARE
Disappointed
American Embassy Flies No
Flag and Page Doesn't
Even Shake Hands.

LONDON, June 27.@The American
ambassador, DR.. Walter Hines Page,
came near to being charged with lack
of patriotism by the seven hundred
American Salvation Army delegates
ON their Official visit to him, but the
misund ding was cleared BY one
OF the embassy clerks.
The Salvatfonists made an Ameri-
can patriotic display on this occasion
as has been rarely seen in London.
Bands played American patriotic
tunes, the American co1ors alternated
with the Salvation Army banners
and each Of the paraders waved a
small American nag as they marched
through Victoria street past the win
dow at which stood DR.. Page. The
chief officers then paid formal call
on His Excellency. But in the mat
ter of bunting, the embassy might as
well have been one Of the big shops
alongside.
Where is the American iag?"
asked one of the officers in q grieved
tsne of one OF the clerks. Our
parade was simply ab1aze with old
Glory and there isn't single flag
displayed at the embassy to welcome
us. It doesn't look patriotic"
The clerk explained that the flag OF
the embassy has purely ceremonial
duties to perform rather than patriot
ic or ornamental, and is displayed
only on instructions from the State
department at Washington.
This explanation was passed around
and seemed to satisfy the patriotic
scruples OF the visitors.
On account of the comparatively
small quarters American diplomats
without large private means neces-
sar1ly maintain in foreign countries.
DR.. Page was unable to invite the sal
yationists to his home, and the en-
hassy itself is likewise cramped. A
reception in the street would have
lacked dignity, SO the delegates felt
disappointment in not being able to
shake hands with him. They had
been rather spoiled on their way over.

traterized with them, sood in snan

streets and private dwellings,. Trees
set in pits lined with brick bordered
the streets, and walls, quays and
landing stages were built along the
river front. This city was the CEN
ter of the iron industry of the time,
and the Stag from the smelling fur
naces show that enough metal was
worked there to supply the whole OF
