top-notchers on the markets of the
country.
AS one Of the editorials said, it
matters not what the farmers pro-
duce, it is necessary that he have a
market for his products. This is
where the N. G. has filled another
want. A free market bureau has
been established and the growers
are to be kept in touch with the
NEST advantageous markets, and
the buyers are to be advised Of
what the farmers have for sale.
In connection with the campaign
recently conducted in the sweet po-
tato and strawberry growing Sec
tons. the road proposes to secure an
expert packer and inspector to as
sist the farmers in preparing these
crops for the market. and has also
assured the growers that the neces-
sary equipment will be afforded
them when the crops come on that
the markets will be reached as soon
as possible. They also have been
urged to consider quality along
with acreage, so that they may be
able to commend top prices for
their offerings.
The improvement in live stock
has been through the cooperative
sales. through the efforts Of the
other agencies at work in the field,
and through the community bull
idea which was recently inaueurat-
ed by the road and which is bring
ing about splendid results.

Fairmont, May 5-tEditor The West
Virginianl-At a recent meeting Of
tho Fairmont Socialist local and pur.
suant to the party principles, the local
Socialist members OF the party voted
to disclaim Mr., BAIL llayman as the

The Socialist, like no othe. political
party, demand that their representa-.

whose votes he was elected and when
he fails to meet the demands OF the
majority OF his constituents, by neglect
OF duty or failure to consult with the
party In matters concerning his Off.
cial duties, he is disclaimed as Social.
list representative or recalled from Of.

In the case OF Mr.. Layman he was
disclaimed. 1t being impossible under
the present charter for councilman
to be a representative OF the people,

n Insitana, one Of the greatest steamships Of his
tory TO the bottom of the ocean. and over 1900 tn
deent souls were sacrificed by blast from the Teu
ton undersea terror Among those who lost in the
sinking OF the Lustana many Americans some Of
high standing in society," others Of the rank and hle.
The world was shocked by the catastrophe. Although
the Germans had given warning In advance that they
would send the Lusania down to depths Of the ocean,
II was thought that the threat would be carried out;
It was not though for nsant that any party TO the
greatest terrible in the history Of the world
would stoop tactics low that 1t is probable that the
