A WARNING TO
OUR FARMERS

On account of the wa r waging in
Europe, the Department of Agricul-
ture would advise farmers of West
Virginia to SOW a good area of wheat
this coming season. No matter
what the result of the war will be
or of how long duration, it has al
ready created a market for wheat
which will be far beyond any de-
mand we have had in recent years.
1t seems to us that it will be i'm
possible under the circumstances not
to have a good market for all the
wheat that can pc produced in the
United States next year, and that the
price will not be materially effected
American farmers must feed the
world while Europe is fighting and
we must keep up our home supply
as we'll which will also be drawn on
extensively by the warning coun-
tries.
Special attention should be given
to the preparation of the seed bed,
and where commercial fertilizers are
used a grade should be purchased
that is adaptable to the soil. In
our judgment the farmers Of West
Virginia will make no mistake in
giving particular attention to this
subject this fall.
II. E. WILLIAMS,
Commissioner Of Agriculture.

SOME Big THINGS
PRESIDENT HAS DONE
A Record Of Achievement Without aral-
lei in the History Of the Nation.

Some of the things that Woodrow
Wilson has done for the American
people during his administration,
which has yet to reach the first year
and a half of its existence, are as fol-
lows:
A firm foreign policy-one OF
watchful waiting which prevented
war with Mexico, and made inn
possible untold loss of lives, the
decentralization of business, and
staggering war debt. On the other
hand the Mexican people have adj
vanced as never before by the Pres
ident's fight to restor to them pos
session of their land.
A revision of the rules of business
without the usual and heretofore in
evitable panic AS the result of the
efforts of the President the laws
have been made the same for every
body-big and little-not by whole
sale denunciation and litigation, but
/, by peaceable and judicious means.
Retaliation of the oft-repeated
taunts that,the Democratic party had
not capacity for solving questions
requiring constructive treatment.
Witness the currency, tariff, in
come tariff, income tax, the nearly
completed trust bills and other wise
legislation that not only received the
votes of Democrats, but the votes of
Republicans and Bull Moosers as
we'll in both the Senate and House.
A tariff that compels the trust to
sell as cheeply to you as to the peo-
pie OF foreign lands. Framed with
out concessions to special interests.
A currency law under which you
get your money when you need it
one that prevents panics and insures
stable financial conditions.
An income tax that places upon
the rich just proportion of the 81, i
600, 900, 600 a year, which is now
the cost of maintaining the Federal
Government.
An arbitration act providing for
Cancellation and arbitration in con-
troversies between capital and labor,
which has already been successfully
employed in preventing great strikes
that would have tied up the entire
railway business of the nation.
Enlargement OF the scope of the
parcel post, which has reduced the
cost OF transportation, ana became
a lasting and convenient instrument
of benefit to the consumer and pro-
ducer.
The laws based on the Golden
Rule-"The trusts must do unto
Others as they would have others do
unto them,' i. e.,
Obey court DEGREES!
Abandon unfair cut-throat compe-
tition!
Cease discriminating between pur-
chasers OF their goods
Disgorge control OF competitors ac-
quired under the aholding COM
pany" system.
Surrender the enormous power
welded through interlocking direct
oratesl
(Note-This gives you and your
son q better chance in life.
Legislation providing for coopera-
tive agricultural extension work.
The fosterig and development OF
commerce at home and abroad as
never before. Legislation recently
enacted will result in the dispatch
of commercial attaches to all foreign
countries in addition to the location
of offices Of this branch of the service
~ the various large cities at home.

CAN VOTE FOR BUT ONE TICKET
Attorney General Fellows Rules on
the Primary Law

Attorney General Grant Fellows has
recently made public an opinion rela-
tive to the manner of voting in the
August primary election. in which he
emphatically points ont that voters
must stick to the one party on the pri
mary ballot, and any diviation from
this course. any attempt to participate
in the nominations of more than one
party, will invalidate the ballot.
The opinion was prompted by the
fact the attorney general has received
number Of inquiries from differsnt
parts of the state, the misunderstood.
ing evidently being based on the fact
that the tickets of all parties Will be
placed on the same primary ballot
Attorney General Fellows quotes
from the law. as follows
After the closing of the polls Oh
the day of holding q primary election.
the ballots shall be counted as proyid.
ed by law for the counting of the
ballots Of any regular election. In
counting such ballots only those can.
didates for nomination to Office who
have a cross made in the square at the
left of their names shall be deemed 20
have been voted for and any ballot
upon which the voter fails 10 indicate
his party choice bv making cross in
the circle at the head of the party
column shall be counted Provided
the voter does not vote for any candi-
date in more than one party column,
but If the voter votes in more than one
party column the ballot shall be void
and shall not be counted and any bal
lot upon which any more candidates
for any Office have been voted for than
may, by law. be elected 20 such Office
or any ballot upon which any candi-
date is voted for outside the party col
umn designated by the voter as his
party ticket by the placing of cross
In the circle at the head of such ticket
shall be rejected as to all names ap-
pearing for that office
Mr.. Fellows concludes his letter by
stating IL is my opinion that under
no circumstances can any ballot be
counted where the voter has attempted
to select candidates in more than one
party column

OUT OF RACE

JAMES A SURE CONGRESSMAN
Mr.. Fishers Withdrawal Means that
Forces viii be Centered to Get
Rid of Macdonald Menace

James L. Fisher of Laurium. candi-
date for congress from this district has
with drawn from the race and an
nounces that he will support W. Frank
James for the position. This means
that the Republican atmosphere will
be clarified so far as the congressional
situation is concerned and the entire
force concentrated upon Kidding the
district Of the menace Of Macdonald.
Mr.. James will be tho next congress
man.
The withdrawal of Fisher came as a
great surprise TO every one down here
for 1t had looked as If the race was 10
be TO finish. Mr.. Fisher had much
encouragement and. while il didn't
look as if he could have been nominate
ed, yet there are two months of the
campaign left and what he might have
done Is problematical. Thus Mr.
Fisher is entitled TO great deal of
credit for withdrawing as he has done
and allowing the entire republican
force to concentrate against MacDon-
aid, move that can be made now.
The statement of Mr.. Fisher is as
follows:
II wish 70 take this opportunity
to thank my friends for their evil
dences OF allegiance and their promis-
es OF support | entered the contest
at the behest OF friends who have been
loyal and enthusiastic. After close
survey of the political conditions of the
district the fact presents itself that.
while | am assured of support, unfalt-
ering support, from every part OF the
district, contest in the republican
party would be disadvantageous 10 the
success Of the organization.
II am of the opinion that close
contest at the primaries would be a
serious handicap 10 the success Of the
party ticket and / am willing to sscri-
tice my personal interests for unity of
tire party | am convinced that Mr..
James will have the support Of unit
ed party at the polls in November and
that republican congressman will
be elected hy an overwhelming vote
! believe Mr. James has every quail
fcatlon for the office and will devote
whole-souled energy and strict atten-
tion to the interests OF all the people
of the district
Il cannot too heartily thank my
many loyal friends for their proffers
Of assistance and | assure Mr.. James
and all republicans that he will have
my unqualified assistance in the cam
paign.

Ore Movement Shows Improvement

Estimates OF the 1914 iron ore move
ent are now being given between 80, :
900. 600 and 30, 900, 600 tons, or only
about 90 per cent of the capacity of
the fleet, when coal shipments are
reasonably heavy. BY July / the ore
shipments will run about 10, OOO, 600.
tons. leaving only about 22, 600, 900 tons
to be brought down. figuring on a
basis OF S2. 600, 900 tons, which seems
70 be the popular estimate Unless
there is decided improvement in the
outlook, the boats will have little ore
to move in November and an average
Of less than 5000. 900 tons month
during the next four months. And
those who are close TO developments in
the traffic are of the opinion there will
he no important change in the situa.
tion during the next two months.
During the last week there has been
increased activity in shipments from
the Escanaba docks One. or more.
steamers has been in process of loading
at each Of the docks tbs greater part
Of the time. While the sales of ore
have been slow, there has been some
improvement during the last two
weeks An average OF the shpments
from all lake ports shows. howeyer
that there has been only a slight gain
Not much buying is now expected for
no least thirty days and the marked
improvement that was expected this
month is not now looked for before
August or September No further cur
tailments of the working forces at the
mines Of this range are reported
The effect Of closing down some OF
the mines ana working others only
part Of the time is being felt in the
coal trade.
