CLARKSBURG To NEW YORK
NEW HIGHWAY PROJECT
Appalachian Good Roads Highway AS
ISOLATION Give Matter Consideration.

AT meeting of the Appalachian Good
Roads Association, held at Bluefield, w.
Va, last Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, at which the Governors of
Maryland. West Virginia, Virginia and
the Carolinas were present, the matter
of improving the old Northwestern
Turnpike from Clarksburg to Oakland
was given serious consideration and
movement was set on foot which will
probably result in the accomplishment
of the matter.
With this improvement made the re-
building of the Northwestern Pike from
Clarksburg to the Red House, where it
will connect with the Maryland system
of good roads-it would make it pos
sible for Clarksburg automobile parties
to travel the year around TO New York
or any other Of the metropolitan cities
Of the east.
With this improved road Oakland
would get the benefit Of every motor
vehicle that passes over 1t. The road
from Oakland is always good probably
the finest in the entire country In
the worst winter weather, except dur
ing blizzards, Maryland motorists make
the trip to the East in their machines.
The distance from CIarksburg to New
York is about 500 miles by road. In the
summer local autoists make the trip
| frequently and they are working hard
now to have the connecting link the
/ IS miles-improved. that they may be
able to go to New York at any season
in the year
Clarksburg is not working alone in
the movement for the improved high
way. Fairmont, in Marion county,
Grafton, in TAYLOR, and other West
Virginia cities and counties have put
their shoulder to the wheel to make a
West Virginia to New York" modern
highway a reality.

MANY GARRETT COUNTY
LAMBS FOR SLAUGHTER
Eight Hundred Young Nuts Assem-
bled at Accident and shipped
From Friendsville.

Meyersdale has its full share of young
NUTS at all times 1.-THE kind that in
fest the street corners and other public
places and contaminate the air with
cigarette smoke) but the little town of
Accident, on Tuesday of last week had
Meyersdale far out-classed as to the
number of young NUTS within its
borders. But the young "mutts" in
Accident were not of the cigarette
smoking or no-account variety. They
were of the innocent kind that are led
to slaughter. everyone a genuine NUT
ton-head, though that was not to their
discredit.
ga 1t was some gathering of young
NUTS, otherwise known as lambs,
on their way to the shambles to be con-
verted into lamb chops and juicy roasts
OF immature mutton. There were 800
of them gathered in from Garrett
county farms by Henry Smouse, the
sheep dealer of Oakland
Mr.. Smouse bought up the young
sheep on the farms around Accident,
and Tuesday, Oct. 18th. was the day
they were delivered to him in the village
of Accident. Owing to heavy rain in
the early morning, they were a little
late in arriving, but by 9 O'Clock they
began to come and the scales were kept
busy until p. m. By that time the
town was white with Young sheep and
their plaintive bleating drowned out all
other sounds.
At 80 o'clock Mr.. Smouse and his
drivers started for Friendsville with
the big drove, where they were loaded
on four double-deck cars on the C. & o.
branch of the B. & o. railroad. and
shipped to the Baltimore market. 1t
was one Of the largest single shipments
OF lambs ever made from Garrett
county which has deserved reputation
for the number of sheep aud quality OF
mutton it produces. Meyersdale Re

COTTON USED IN THE MANUFACTURER
 OF EXPLOSIVES

The Europeon war has created an unsuitable demand for ammunition New establishments are being erected for I the manufacture of explosives, and the possibility of increased profits is in- ducing firms engaged in other indus l tries to enter this tield. This state ot affairs of course, has an important ef- feet on the price of cotton, which is largely used as d material in the man ufacture of explosives.
 Director Rogers of the bureau of the census is carrying on an extensive cor respondence in his endeavor to obtain statistics of all establishments using cotton as a material. Consumers of cotton naturally desire to know the total quantity used in all lines of in dustry, and they can aid in the com pilation of accurate statistics by fur nishing the census bureau at Washing ton with the names and addresses of establishments which have begun the
 
 the commencement of the European war. MT. Rogers says that a great many letters are being received request ing information as to the quantity of cotton and linters used in the manu- fracture of explosives. Some express the fear that the bureau is not aware ,f Lo ;ah vii Is are now being used for this purpose. The director desires to state that the Census bureau is aware of the greatly increased demand for cotton and lin- | ters, and has been endeaoring to col lect complete statistics concerning the total quantity used by all consumers of cotton, in compliance with the law which requires monthly reports on this subject.
 Unfortunately it is impossible to supply statistics as to the amount of cotton used in the manufacture of ex- plosives alone. The act of congress au- thorizing the collection of cotton sta- tistics concerning " the quantity of raw cotton consumed in manufacture es- tablishments of every character <" While some manufacturers of explo- sives purchase the raw cotton and sub- ject it to the necessary processes of purification in their own establish ments, many of them buy it from other establishments which purify and treat the fiber so as to render it suitable for use in the manufacture of explosives Many of these establishments prepare cotton not only for manufacturers of wholly different products and it is not feasible for the census bureau to ob- tain separate statistics of the amount of purified cotton turned out by such establishments for uses in the manu- facture of explosives.
