md Made to DO Some
HustlinE.

CLIFTON FORGE, VA. April TO-
With tho coming OF the spring months
there has been general revival In
business conditions I'm this city and
section, and the outlook has had a
wholesome effect on the people here
abouts. AS proof Of better conditions
in tho business world, the Low Moor
Iron Company has planned TO begin
operations at Low Moor. four miles
west of Clifton Forge, OH the 18th OF
this month. The large iron furnace of
this corporation has been idle for two
years Or more. The decision to start
up means work at good wages for a
large number of men. both in the mines
and at the furnace. II is said the
company will add a number Of i'm
proFements with view OF making
Low Moor attractive to tho people who
live there. A number OF arc lights

ana n moving picture show operated
for the pleasure of the employees
In chiffon Forge there are evidences
OF revival In business by reason Of
The fact that the Chesapeake and Ohio
hallway is enjoying an immense In
crease in its freight traffic. The G. <
.. has been fortunate In securing a
great deal Of business arising from
the European war I'm the transporta-
ton OF horses Aside from this. there
are more buildings being erected and
under contract for construction than
has been the case for a long time The
Fraternal Order OF Eagles at this place
has its new home we'll under way
When completed and furnished this
building VIII cost $4,000 or more Dr.
w. NJ. Revercomb has let the contract
for the erection Of a handsome new
residence on Mccormick Street and
others will follow suit in short time
This does not take into account the
improvements being made TO property
row In usc. But this is not all for
the City Council expects to spend close
to $4,000 I'm street improvements dur
ing the spring aud summer months
At It's last meeting the Council de-
cided to purchase an auto fire truck at
an expense OF $4,000.
For some reason or other clifton
Forge has never been able TO keep its
Chamber OF Commerce alive for any
extended period. but II Is understood that
the business men here will take stems

the north by Kentucky, the dividing line
being on the top OF the Cumberland
Mountains: on the east by Buchanan;
on the south by Russell, and on tho
west by Wise County The area is %2a
square miles. or 1851 acres. Perhaps
there are as many as 500 farms most
ly on the small order. none having under
cultivation amy large acreage.
The products are corn, wheat, rye,
oats, millc;. potatoes, sorghum, buck
wheat and some tobacco The lands both

state in which there might he better

h Piece of the Pattern is Also for ldcnti6cation

Onc-piece gowns are to be ex'
 tens;vely worn throughout the autumn and winter. Here is one of the simplest that could be devised, yet one ot the snartcst. It is really one-picce, tor the bodice and skirt are cut together and held at the waist line by means oi the belt. Here, it is made of lowered silk and plain and the two are combined at about half the depth of the skirt, but there are various ways in which the model can be treated, notwithstanding it's perfect simplicity. As 1t is made here, it is a dressy costume, but If 1t were made of one material throughout and that material were a simple serge or ea,1ardine, it would be a useful gown, adapted to shopping and to general ser vice of the sort. The pattern gives lndi- cated lines on the bodice as well as on the skirt where the materials can be joined, therefore it would be pos s;ble to make the upper part of the bodice of a different material from the lower part and a very smart effect could tion, the sleeves and the lower part of center portions of the gown, the upper part Ol lIlC SislII etIll l.N iO"Sl l's@i VI the bodice, are of another.
