$4,000 POUNDS OF
STEEL BUMPERS
Shipped From Local n. &

For Allies.

One of the largest war orders

break of the European war, was re-

munition manufacturing concern of
Cumberland, Maryland, for the pur-
chase of thousands of steel car
bumpers which were discarded over
year ago by the railroad and were
thrown in the junk heaps in the var.
ious repair shops az being valueless
forany'hiug except ballast, for which
they were occasionally used.
News of the big order became
known here when 1872, 900 ponds of
the bumpers were dug out of the
scrap heap at the Kenova shops and
were shipped TO Maryland, Ship
ments from other terminals on the
road are passing Kenova daily and
already several million pounds of
the bumpers have been shipped TO
Cumberland.
The munition factory melts the
bumpers and then the steel is cast
into shrapnel shells. They are es.
pecially adapted for this purpose,
owing to the nature and quantity of
the steel from which they were
originally cast. 1t is what ls called
"puddled" steel, valueless for ordi-
nary steel work but the exact COM
position employed in the manufac-
ture of the shells which are requir>
ed to be brittle and easily exploded.

that Wayne comfy can be made

they need is encouragement and

AGENTS REPORT.
President Johnson enclosed the
following report of his field agent
showing the results obtained in
Wayne county:
81 wac invited by the Wayne
county, West Virginia, Fair assc.
citation to address the farmers of
that county at Wayne on Tuesday,
September Z. / accepted this ~
vitation for the reason that spent
the first four days of February with
Mr.. b. B. Ezell, farm agent for
West Virginia, in organizing the
county and engaging the services
of county farm demonstrator.
"The citizens of Wayne county
took 80 kindly 10 the proposition
that on March Is, or less than six
weeks after our campaign, they
had made all arrangements for a
man and put him to work.
"WayDe county for the past ten
years has attracted my attention
for the reason that | saw the lands
getting poorer and thinner every
year. | also noticed that the live
stock shipped from the county was
increasing each year. l therefore
was much enthused when Mr.. La.
Baume permitted me to Join Mr..
EZell in this organization cam.
pa gn.
"The results of the campaign
already are evidenced on all sides.
Early in July they had a farmers
meeting, which was addressed by
Judge Cassel, and which was com
mented on very favorably on my
trip few days since. Among the
accomplishments this year are.
A boys corn club of fifteen mem.
bers; girls canning club Of nine
members; about fifty acres seeded
to alfalfa, FIVE hundred acres IN
COW peas, (the fret ever grown in
the county, and numerous other
improvements, the principal of
which is the interest manifested
an live stock.
THOROUGHBRED STOCK.
81 did not know that WAYNE
county had any thorough bred stock
until on this last trip. After max
ing my address, the chairna an of
the meeting called on Mr.. J. B.
Burgess, whose farm is near Ardel
pOstofice and Wayne, for his ex-
preston on the live stock industry.
Mr.. Burgess made a very able ad.
