GREATER FAIRMoNT.

aT,HE entry OF the Monongahela railroad into Fair.
mont is another step towards a better and greater
city, o condition much to be desired; It is another
step In developing this section OF West Virginia, where
great resources still remain to be developed. The new
road will double the facilities for getting shipments into
and out OF Fairmont and thus be a great boom to the
commercial activity OF this section. The new road will
also help bring new places in touch with F%airhont, ow.
ing to the fact. that the Monongahela touches at points
where the Z. & o. does not.
But u must not be thought for a minute that the COM
ing Of the Monongahela railroad is a direct blow at the
b. & o.. Not at ALL There is plenty of business for the
two roads, and the fact that the Monongahea line is
now In operation is a boost not only for the community
In general but the B. & o. railroad as we'll. IT is simply
o step4in the further development of the city, which
in B. few years hence, will rank first in the state. The
commercial activity that will be brought to Fairmont
in the opening of the new railway line into this city
will bring a great volume OF trade to the B. & o. road
as well as to the Monongahela.
When the Monongahela railroad came into Faifmont,
1t meant that the dream of Col. Schoonmaker had been
realized. For years and years he had planned to ex.
tend his railroad up along the Monongahela river and
up to the headwaters. 1t was his dream to get his rail.
road into this territory and have a part in the further
development OF this great section of West Virginia.
The Colonel saw the possibilities many years ago, and
at last his railroad is here.
With the return Of a Republican administration in
1916. with two railroads running into the town( We
might say three lnes) Fairmont should come to the
front with a rush. The last few years have been be.
low par; Out the tide is turning and the future looks
bright.

THAT MILESIAN STRAIN.

When England wants a particularly
strong man she goes over to Ireland
and gets a pug-nosed boy with the
peat mud on his bare feet, and brings
him up in the way he should go.
Edmund Burke is called England s
greatest orator.
Oliver Goldsmith is her gentlest
poet.
John Tyndall was one of the world s
greatest scientists.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan is quot

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Welling
ton, is the man who gave the Corsi-
can his Waterloo.
All these were Irish, and so is
Kitchener, he of the mathematical
brain.
Admiral Jellicoe is Irish
General French, commander of Bri-

WHEAT NOW BEING
RELOCATED TO REAR
Average Eastern Farmer Uses II
Merely to Get Crop of Clover
or Timothy.

Instead of planting every available
acre to wheat, the average farmer in
lie Eastern states plants wheat mere
" to get d crop OF clover or timothy,
SAYS writer in the Baltimore Ameri
can. If our fathers and grandfathers
could have had the acreage OF land
hat is available and under cultivation
.oday they would have grown nearly
billion and a half bushels of wheat had
they given it the same care ana atteu
tion that they gave the acreage OF 40
years ago.
For several decades wheat has been
relegated to the rear. 1t IS no longer
looked up to in the highest respect as
the means of paying the taxes, re
pairs and living expenses as was once
the case. 1t resolves itself, therefore.
into a question largely Of price, ana
wheat is relatively the cheapest in
trinsically Of any commodity that is
produced on the farm, ard wheat flour
is today lower than any food the la
borer is required to buy. Wheat mus
be kept near the dollar mark if farm
ers are to grow it as a money enter,

WHY, JEFF.

Jeff Livingston, who, in spite of
the fact that he is the president of
the great Snider Preserve Company
and a millionaire, is as democratic
as his first name, was once poor
boy and wore his rags and patches
with the rest of the kids. Jeff oc-
casionally finds time to indulge in a
little literary work and his most re-
cent effusion is founded upon an in
cident in his early career. Here it is: :
Two ladies say met a boy one day;
his legs were briar-scratched,
His clothes were blue, but a nut
brown hue marked the place where
his pants were patched.
They bubbled with joy at the blue
clad boy with his spot of nut brown
hue.
why didn't you patch with a color
to match?" they chuckled, "Why
not with blue?
Come, don't be coy, my blue-brown
boy speak out" and they laughed
with glee;
And he blushed rose-red, while he
bashfully said THAT amt no
patch; that's me-

PUT IN COMPLETE
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
No Better or Safer Investment
for Average Farmer Than
Plan of Tile Drains.
(By w. NJ. KELLY.)

There has been much discussion in
the agricultural press concerning the
best investments for farmers In my
opinion there is no better or safer in
ve3tment for the average farmer, than
tile drainage on such parts of the
farm as fail to produce maximum
crops during wet seasons.
There are many acres of naturally
fertile soil that are not paying the
owner the cost Of working, that could
be made the most productive portion
Of The farm, if a. good system Of under
draining were put in.
In many cases the first crop will pay
the entire cost Of drainage. OF course
many farmers are so situated that
they cannot afford to put in the com
plete drainage system at one time.
My advice to such men is to have
their plans made at one time, and dc
a little every year.

ENTRYMEN GIVEN AID.

Many a desert entryman will learn
with qualification that congress has
afforded him relief in an unexpect-
ed place, in the urgent deficiency
bill passed by congress in the late
session. The relief comes in the
shape of rider to the bill, having
no more to do with the measure than
it could have to do with the ship
purchasing bill
1t was proposed by several west
ern congressman to be attached to
the bill while it was in conference,
Mr.. Hayden was engaged in confer
ence on another measure and was
not aware of the adoption until late
ly when he received a copy of the
bill as approved by the president.
The rider allows to the desert en-
trypan three forms of relief If he
has failed within the time allowed
him under the desert land entry act
to be able to make final proof of
reclamation and irrigation and culti-
Yation within the time allowed him,
upon a showing of diligence and re-
qulrement with the provisions of the
act, he may be granted an extension
of three years.
If it then shall appear that he has
still failed and has expended as
much as So per acre in an attempt to
reclaim his land he may be per-
mltted to homestead the land. There
is still, then, another thing he may
do. He may pay so cents an acre,
make proof that he has perfected
permanent improvements of the value
of $125 an acre, and subsequently
