Reports SHOW One Department Used
Up 1880 on Land Show I'm An
other State Figures are Given I'm
an Official Statement

Several weeks ago Tax Commission
er Fred o. Blue declared that the State
! OF West Virginia was sorely In need
OF more funds and that additional
taxes will be needed for the carving
on of the states business during the
coming year.
Governor Hatfield made the state
ment that he would ask the legislature
when IL convenes for s9OO.Oo0 add.
tional. which, he said. is badly need
ed for the states expenses.
State Superintendent OF Schools
Shawkey stated in his annual report
that more funds were needed with
which TO operate the school system Of
the state and he suggested divers
ways OF securing this capital, all of
which ways constitute an additional
tax on the people OF the State.
AT the same time other high state
officials of the Republican party have
declared that more money is needed
for the use Of the state and it's var
ious departments.
Many and varied have been the sug-
gestions made by the state depart
ment heads for the increase of the
| states revenue and sundry plans
have been suggested for economy and
retrenchment. Some OF the sugges-
tons made by the department heads
In regard to the accumulation of
more coin were good. and some were
not so good. but all were unit in
declaring that the funds should come
directly out Of the pockets of the tax
payers.
And. 10, in the midst OF this plain
tive wall which has swept over the
state like the wild scream OF a fright
ened coyote in the night, comes a
bold statement from Commissioner of
Agriculture Howard T.. Williams of
the disbursements made by his depart
ment for an exhibit in a Chicago
Land Show" held in the Windy CITY
last spring rough estimate of the
itemized amounts shown in Mr.. Will
liams' figures show that the state of
West Virginia, at Mr.. Williams re-
commentator, expended the appalling
| amount of $500 on one exhibit in a
lang show i'm another state. The
amounts range all the way from
$4,000, which was invested I'm a lump
sum In space for the exhibit, to ten
dollars paid to a clip bureau.
In the disbursement Mr.. Williams
shows that the department of agricul-
ture spent the state funds VIII, reck.
less abandon on the land show. for
which the states return is problema-
teal.
In addition to the enormous sum
spent on the land show of Chicago
Mr.. Williams itemizes sum of sew
eral thousand dollars which was ex-
pended on investigation of the chest
nut blight" in the state during the
past fiscal year from July 1. 1913. to
July /, 1914. The accounts of fifteen.
men, ranging from over FIVE hundred
dollars down to thirty dollars. all of
whom spent these state sums while
busily engaged in investigating the
terrible" chestnut blight. Following
are the figures of the disbursement as
shown by the audit. They show in a
measure just why some of the state
officials are advocating retrenchment
and economy, and at the same time
declaring that additional funds are
needed

The sleeves are finished with a mar
row spangled band like that at the
side of the apron-tunic.
The bodice of the tunic covers the
u~nderbodice back and front. A narrow
fringe of beads finishes the short
sleeves. At the back the bodice may
be finished with a girdle or the frill Of
lace, somewhat scantier in fullness,
may be extended around the figure. A
fat tassel of beads finishes each side
of the tunic at the bottom.
These beaded garments are shown
in all the light colors and in black.
Black and silver and black and gold
On black net are among the showiest.
Gold net with gold spangles and beads
is in high favor. The tunic and dress
match in color, as a rule.
The small corsage bouquet of satin
roses worn at n side of the lace frill
is a detail that should not be over
looked. 1t is much more than a de-
tail in the costume.

THE day has come when displays OF
j elegant footwear may be said to
rival displays of jewelry In brilliance.
Judging from the dressy shoes and
slippers which fill the show cases of
the shoe shops, and those of depart
ments In the great stores, the adjec-
tives which have been used in de-
scribing gowns and hats will find
themselves associated in the future
with clothing for the feet. 1t will
require them to convey any idea of
the daintiness and %brilliance that
characterize the newest footwear for
evening.
Black patent leather combinations
with white kid make up a great num-
Der of the handsomest slippers. But,
besides these, there are combinations
of bronze, gold and silver with fab
RIGS and slippers of these fancy leath-
ers alone, as well as slippers made of
fabrics alone. The array is dazzling
and in point of variety bewildering.
Just now there is a liking for white
satin on which gold or silver figures
are thrown up in embroidered de-
signs. These are finished with small
but most brilliant buckles of rhine
stones. Certainly such slippers de-
serve to be called CONNECTIONS in foot
wear. But to get any idea of the va
riety which c%onfronts the purchaser,
just the display in a single show case
may be described to give a clear idea
of the leading style-feature for this
season.
First there Is a satin novelty called
the Poinciana slipper. 1t is a plain,
beautifully shaped model with short
yamp. somewhat pointed toe and
French heel. AT the back the satin
extends upward to the ankle. where
1t is fastened to a velvet band. This
oand encireles the ankle, fastening
with two small pearl buttons at the
side. One may choose this slipper
in white satin with black velvet col
lar, black satin with white velvet col
lar. silver cloth with black velvet, or
IN all black.
Next to it stand the Empress, quite
deserving of its royal name with
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-04-24

black satin vamp and white satin
quarters. Very plain, very beautifully
finished and very elegant, the En-
press is shown in this single combina-
ton.
A third strikingly beautiful black
and-white slipper has a black satin
vamp and heel, with quarter of white
satin extended over the instep in a
strap. The edges of the slipper and
strap are bound with black satin and
this new creation is fastened with a
double buckle of brilliant rhinestones
at the side. One may have it in all
black or all white, either of them
handsome enough but having not
quite the snap of black and white and
rhinestone in conjunction.
Next a quiet model in bronze
kid having a tongue embroidered
with bronze beads, and then a tango
tie in bronze laced across the instep
with ribbon which ties about the
ankle. These are to be had in other
materials and colors.
Less snowy, a slipper in dull kid is
exquisitely shaped and supplied with
four straps acros the instep. The
toe and straps are beaded. This is
made in white or in bronze, with
beads to match. Then comes a marvel
in white satin and gold brocade and
after it an array of plain satin opera
slippers in all the evening colors.
Truly she who is looking for some-
thing new and beautiful in slippers
will have no trouble in finding all that
she is looking for, and more, too.
For there are other showcases filed
with other slippers.

OUCH a pretty party gown. In which
- M of those beaded garnitures is
featured, is shown here. The bodice
and apron-tunic, of beaded net, is a
new development of the ready-made
bodice and tunic affairs that have
so delightfully."- helped out in the MAX
ing of evening gowns. The straight
hanging front, with frill of lace falling
below the waist line, is the most up-to-
date of style touches. lust nov fashion
does nothing to the waist line but
ignore 1t. She would like to have all
her devotees forget 1t, and a great
number of them do.
The dress is of crepe de chine made
with straight-hanging skirt with some
drapery near the bottom where the
left side vanishes under a hemmed
bias edge at the right. The bodice is
the simplest imaginable, a baby
waist"-that is, a plain gathered front
and back with short plain sleeves. 1t
is merely a foundation and background
tor the beaded bodice of the tunic.

A BIT OF ADVICE.
First-Don't Delay. Second-Don't
Experiment.

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; If
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys Of
ten need help.
Doan't Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble-they are
recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citizen
of this locality?
Mrs. William Doughty, 700 Mulber-
ry ST., Millville, N. j., says: 81 had a
severe pain in my back and I'VE my
kidneys. l took Doan's Kidney Pills
and in a short time was relieved of
the trouble. l am today free from
kidney disease. Another of my fami-
ly had been troubled by kidney COM
plant. The kidneys were weak and
caused annoyance. Doan's Kidney
Pills were used and made a great i'm
~provement."
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy--get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Doughty had. Foster-Milburn

Ting with the most terrifying giants.
Remembering this, each Christian
should daily strive to overcome little
weaknesses, little frailties-to conquer
In the little battles with selfishness, an
ger, malice, envy, evil-speaking. Veto
ries and experiences gained with Gods
help in overcoming these give prepara-
ton for the greatest trials.
The Divine promise, ITO him that
overcometh will grant to sit with Me
In My Throne" teaches that a great
victory must be won to prove ourselves
worthy of the great honor to which
God has called His Church. This vic
tory. however, is not always to the
strong. but to those whom God will
bless. The conflict which God will re
ward is not strife with friends or neigh
bors, however unreasonable they may
be, but strife against sin and every
thing which the Divine Law opposes.
This strife and victory belong primari-
ly In our own hearts and minds, but
will extend. as Divine providence may
indicate, in battling against public
evils and in support of Righteousness.
We are not to forget, however, that
the great giant of Sin and Iniquity,
which has dared Gods people for CEN
turtles, win be smitten down only at
Gods appointed time, and by the Anti
type of David-The Christ, Jesus the
Head and the Church His Body.
Shortly, a slingstone of Truth will

The Challenge Accepted.
David was amazed that nobody had
accepted the challenge. Realizing the
Covenant between God and Israel, be
accepted the Divine promises implicit
~. He wondered at the lack of faith
manifested by his countrymen, and In
timated that, backed by Gods prom
ises, he himself dared to meet Goliath.
King Saul had promised great honor
to whoever would meet the foe. Young
David was brought before him; but he
realized that the sinewy youth would
be no match for the giant, one blow
from whose spear would destroy David.
Then the STRIPPING pleaded his cause.
AS keeper of his fathers sheep, he had
often delivered them from the mouth
and the paw of the lion and the bear.
He would give strength for victory in
the duty of the hour, the meeting of
the giants insult to Jehovah.
The king was impressed. He would
lend David his armor-the best in Is
rael. But after trying it, David de-
clined 1t with thanks. Unaccustomed
to such armor, he could be himself bet
ter without it. He took with him mere
ly his shepherds staff and sling. Pass
ing over toward the Philistines for the
combat, he chose five smooth pebbles
from the brook. This slight armament,
with Gods blessing, was more than
sufficient; for he used only one pebble.
The giant was indignant, saying, Am
1 a dog. that this boy should come GU
to meet me with a stick?" According
to tradition, he threw back his head
and laughed as the lad approached.
His helmet fell off, and he was ex-
posed to the sure craftsmanship of his
despised opponent. The giant stunned,
his armorbearer fed. David quickly
dispatched him with his own sword,
and took his armor as a trophy. Sur
