The close was heavy IA M17s cents to 215 c B cents net lower. with May s1317s and July s1237. Other lead l. ing staples. too all finished at a loss-corn $ to 1as cents: oats 1% to 21a cents and provisions 712 to 25 cents.
 Breaks in the price of wheat fol lowed one another swiftly once the market began to give away.
 Oats were relatively bearish throughout the day as compared with corn.
 Falling off in exports had depressing influence on provisions.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION

The Special Election to elect
congressman to fill the unex-
pired term of VIM. G. Brown, de-
ceased, will be held Tuesday,
May 9th. The following candi-
dates will appear on the ballot
Democrat Ticket-Hon. Sam'l
V. Woods.
Republican Ticket-Hon. Geo.
M. Bowers.
Prohibition Ticket-Rev. Mil
ton Steele.
Socialist Ticket-A. S. Bos-
worth.
Much interest is being shown.
The democrats claim they have
a right for their man to succeed
the late Junior" Brown. The
republicans say the district be-
longs to them. The prohibition
lists insist on a national repre-
sentative. The socialists want
to divide the wealth of the coun-
try by electing their men. Voter,
take your choice. You pay the
bliss, any way.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS

Hon. Geo. M. Bowers, the re-
publican nominee, is a native
West Virginian. He was born
Sept. Ia, 1868, in the little will
age of Gerrardstown, Berkeley
county, West Virginia. He be-
gan life on the farm, the place
where SO many of our success
full business and professional
men have begun. He has a
family consisting of a wife and
four children. He is affiliated
with the Presbyterian church
at Martinsburg. He is now a
farmer, orchardist and banker.
He is a big hearted manly man,
and never turns the needy away
from his door with empty
hands.
He has always taken keen
interest in politics, having rep
resented Berkeley county in the
legislature of 1887, and was a
candidate for State Auditor
when Judge Golf was a candi-
date for Governor and carried
his own county of Berkeley by
an unprecedented majority.
He was a friend of VIM. Nc
Kinley and was appointed by
him as U. S. Fish Com'r. His
record in this Office was SO pro-
gressive and clean that he was
reappointed by Theodore Roose-
welt. We believe that the man
who had the respect and conf
dence of two such eminent men,
differing so widely in tempera-
ment, will this year have the
support of a united party.
But the strongest endorse
ment of Mr.. Bowers is the fact
that two years ago, when a cam
didate against a strong democrat
and strong progressive, he
carried his own county, Berke-
ley--the county where he was
born and raised, and which IS
close politically-by nearly a
thousand majority. Any man
who stands so high among his
neighbors must be a good neigh
Dor himself and man Of sterl-
ing worth. -Philippi Republi-
can. (Adv.J

swapping the down over the

The High School showed q
great improvement over their
last game and hit the pill to all
parts of the field.
Ramsey's pitching, Cade's hit
ting and Moorise's fielding were
the features of the game, while

MOTHERS DAY.

The second Sunday in May is
Mothers Day. This year it
fans on May 18th. The beauti-
IN I'm thought of setting aside one
day in the year to be particular
" devoted to ones mother was
first suggested by Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia, who
founded the Mothers Day In
ternational Association to pro-
vide the necessary organized
support for the fostering OF the
movement. Thanks largely to
her efforts, Mothers Day has
become a recognized institution
al the day on which each of US
should pause to acknowledge our
debt of affection and gratitude
to "the best mother who ever
lived" on which we should be
with her if we can, and, IT we
unfortunately cannot, should
make a point of sending her a
message of affection and cheer.
II The emblem of the day is the
white carnation, and it is the
hope of the Mothers Day Asso-
cation that it viii be worn by
every one as tribute of respect,
not only for his own mother,
but also for all the gentle and
noble motherhood of the land.

ODDITIES OF THE FOREIGN
PRESS.

Newspapers from distant lands
The Chamberlain Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa,
manufacturers of Chamberlain's
not only in this country but for
eign lands. A copy of each is
sue of every newspaper contain
ing their advertisement is sent
to the office of the Chamberlain
Medicine Company as proof of
the insertion of the advertise
ment. Some of the papers bear
names of places, which require
one to recall forgotten geog-
raphy or refer to the atlas to To-
cate. Some of them are partic-
ularly curious as they are pub
lished in the vernacular or ma
tive languages which might be
likened to the carefully written
notes of a shorthand writer.
Here are the we'll known
Chinese characters arranged In
vertical lines reading from top
to bottom, the lines arranged
from right to left.
The Burmese language, as
printed is composed principally
of a combination of circles.
Some one wittily suggested that
for this reason circulars would
be properly printed in this lang
uage.
Cingalese, the language of
Ceylon, is also curvilinear. Jaw
anese and Siamese are composed
largely of vertical lines connect
ed by loops at either top or bot
tom but rarely at both. These
languages bear some resemb-
lance to the vertical writing now
practiced in our public schools.
The Progressive has just re-
ceived bunch of these papers,
which are on file in our office.

WESLEYAN VS.. MARSHALL
THIS WEEK AT BUCK
HARMON.

Two of the best baseball
games to be witnessed in the
state this year will take place
on Friday and Saturday of this
week at Buckhannon when the
Wesleyan and Marshall College
baseball teams hook up. Mar
shall won the championship of
the state in 1915 and has al
ready beaten Wesleyan two
games at Huntington this year
by close scores. Wesleyan is re-
puted one of the best teams
that has ever represented the
Methodist institution and the
same might be said of Marshall.
The game will be played at three
o'clock in the afternoon and
special train arrangements have
been made for the big crowds of
people from Weston, Clarks-
burg and other points in that
direction. If the roads are
good many local fans interested
in the success of one or the 9TH
er of the teams will likely go
from here in cars. Thurman
and Shriver for Wesleyan and
Lawrence and Davidson for
Marshall are slated to do the
pitching. These are four of
the best pitchers ever connected
with College baseball in West
Virginia and some great games
are sure to result.
