They chose for this amusement the

In due course the monks returned

HELD IN SECLUSION FOR
TWELVE YEARS
To Guard Against Elopement- Weigh.
But 81 Pounds When Released.

Easton, Nd, Nov. 22.-Grace
Marshall, the young woman
whose father and step-mether
are charged with having impri-
soned her in their home near
st. Michaels for nearly IL years
spoke today for the first time
since her liberation last Friday.
She asked for an apple she saw
on the table of her room, in
her aunt's home where she is
under the care of physician.
Miss Marshall was imprison-
ed, it is alleged, after attempt
ing to elope at the age Of 16
with a man of whom her father
disapproved. Relatives thought
her dead. Marshall said he con-
sidered the girl crazy and that
as he could not afford to send
her to an institution he thought
the only thing to do was to lock
her up in her room. When re-
leased she weighed but 81
pounds. Marshall is said to
have admitted that the woman's
step-mother was the only per-
son who had seen her during the
last three years.

STAT NORMAL SCHOOL
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT.

President Joseph Roster of
the Fairmont State Normal
School evidently believes that a
state school supported by state
taxes, ought to serve the state
in every way it can. If young
men and women cannot attend
the Fairmont Normal, 50 Presi-
dent Roster believes, should go
out to them. Acting on this
principle, Extension Glasses have
been organized, in Fairmont
and nearby towns, conducted by
members of the faculty, Cores
pondence Courses in Rhetiric,
Algebra and Physical Geography
are being carried on, faculty
and student lecture and enter
tainment courses are to be Civ
en- at several small towns, I'M
provided with a regular lecture
course. Members of the facul-
ty are going out from the school
almost every day to judge edu-
cational exhibits, to conduct dis
trict institutes, to speak at edu-
cational meetings, to examine
schools, etc. All in all, the
Fairmont NormaPs Extension
department bids fair to do a
great work for the northern part
of West Virginia.

UNITED STATES TO
DEMAND APOLOGY

Washington, Nov. 22.-The
United States will demand an
apology from Great Britain for
the searching of the American
steamer Zealandia by a British
.warship within the three miles
limit Of Progreso harbor, Yucca

The action of this government

Commander Dismukes Of the
battleship Kentucky and John
German, American consul at
Progreso. They asserted in
reports received at the State
Department late today that the
Zealandia was boarded within
the neutral waters Of Mexico.
State Department officials

STORAGE OF CAR
REALLY IMPORTANT.
Motorists Who Want Their Car In
Shape Next Spring Should
Observe Precautions.

| wilmer ~ coming. W. nat are
you going to do with your car?
! Every motorist should know
that unless he pays particular
attention to the way he stores
his car or the manner in which
he uses it during the winter
months, he will incur large
repair expense bill.
The manufacturers Of Dia-
mond Tires wish to make few
recommendations to motorists,
believing that if they know how
to properly take care Of the car
and its equipment they will get
better service and satisfaction
from the Diamond products
which they are using,
Those motorists who do not
drive their cars during the win
ter months, should be very care
full to store the car properly. The
wheels should be lacked UP and
blocks set under the axles to
prevent the car from slipping.
When lacked up the tires should
be removed, washed carefully
and if the tread or side walls are
cut they should be repaired be-
fore storing. The winter months
offer an excellent opportunity
to the motorist to get his car in
good shape for the coming sea-
son.
If the tires are in first-class
condition they should be wrap
ped in dark paper which will
prevent light from getting to
them and then stored where
there is no danger of freezing.
Heat, light and cold are all emf
mics Of rubber and the motorist
who does not take this precau-
tion with his tire equipment will
find that his tires have deter
iorated during the winter
months.
The car should be gone over
carefully and cleaned, grease
taken out of the gears, they
should be repacked and special
care taken to drain the radia-
tor. If this is not done there
will be danger of freezing.
Leave the pet cocks under the
radiator and engine open.
Another thing which you may
not remember to do is to put
up the top. If it remains down
during the entire winter it will
set in creases and if it is stretch
ed tight it will keep in good
shape.
With the aid of these few sug-
gestions you will be able to keep
your car in first class shape
through the winter months, SO
that it will be in good servicea-
BILE shape when warm spring
days dry up the roads and you
are ready to use your automo-
bile again. A stitch in time now
will save dollars next spring.

LECTURE LARGELY ATTENDED.

Rev. Ernest Caldwell, of
Foo Chow, China, who is maxi
ing a tour Of the United States
in the interest of Missions, gave
a very interesting and instruc-
tive lecture in the M. E. Church
Monday evening to large au-
dience. His discourse was diff
ferent from the ordinary lee
lures of this kind. He is much
informed on the conditions in
China. He says there are thou
sands of Chinese ready to en-
brace the Christian faith if on
~ they could be reached, thru
their own language and local
preachers.
For each dollar contributed
toward missions 931a cents
reaches the foreign field-the
small difference is used for post
age, stationery, etc, in this
country.

THE BENEFIT OF GOOD ROADS

According to a recent news
dispatch the postal department
will establish seven rural deliv-
cry routes in Jefferson county
ranging in distance from fifty
to fifty-seven miles each. The
letter carriers Of these routes
will be equipped with automo-
biles and the service will begin
December 18th. These are
the first routes of this kind to
be established in the state, and
among the first to be established
in the United States, which
speaks well for Jefferson county
but the reason for the establish
ment of such routes is based up
on the good roads found in that
county. Jefferson county has
284 miles Of macadamized road
out of a possible 344. Prior to
1904 Jefferson county was ex-
pending from thirty to thirty
five cents on each $500 per year
building macademized roads and
since that date has been expend-
ing all of the funds they could
possibly raise under the law.
The wisdom of the good roads
movement in Jefferson county is
demonstrated, not only in the
foregoing news item, but in the
increased value of all farm lands
in that county. According to
the census of 1910 the average
of all land in the State was $780,
65. The average value of farm
hand in Jefferson county, accord
ing to the same census was
S53.5 the average value Of the
fund in Ohio county, which has
2O2 miles of improved roads out
Of a possible 240, was $60.35.
while the average value of the
land in this county was $23. 81.
There is so greater argument
for good roads than the clean
concrete example shown in the
comparison of the above figures
jefferson county has no coal, oil
or timber to increase it's value.
The values given are based en-
tirelv upon the farm and these
farms are made more valuable
BY reason Of the roads that are
constructed to them; Nearly
every acre of land in this county
is as valuable as that Of Jeffer-
sson, yet the condition Of our
roads makes the difference

widow and a number of grown
up children to mourn the loss Of

friend. He is the father of

err Cox. Mr.. Ice was a consis-
tent member Of the Christian
Church, and a highly respected
citizen.

Every man who owns an acre
Of land in this county would be
making profitable investment
and valuable use of his time by
applying the difference in the
average value per acre between
the lands of this county and the
land of Jefferson county to the
roads in his community. There
is nothing that will bring as
great prosperity to the State of
West Virginia as general sys-
tenn of good roads on which the
mails can be transported quick
" and over which the products
of the farm can be marketed as
well as materials taken from the
market to the farm to improve
it.
We suggest that our readers
take little time to compare
carefully these figures, that each
farmer take the acreage he has
in his farm and figure the diff
ference, making a comparison
of the average value of the land
in this county with the average
value Of the land in Jefferson
county. Then add to this the
conveniences of such rural let
ter routes as the farmers of JEFF
ferson county now enjoy, the
possibilities of getting to and
from home without wading thru
mud, and we have picture Of
real life yet it is one that we
can all have if we will but not
forth the effort to get better
roads in this county. The con-
dition Of the roads is the future
depend upon the attitude
OF the people Of this county will
take toward the public highway.
