THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

That is what many write us. who make
a gift OF a Youths Companion suoscrip-
ton to friend or relative. Thousands
can recall the first Christmas that The
Companion came into the house, and how
it was passed from one to another as a
most precious thing, and the beauty OF il
was that every week il was looked for,
and bounced upon and devoured, and
everything else put aside for it. You can
bring that same sense Of delight into any
home by sending The Youths Companion
to il for year-$2. 00-only four cents a
week.
The Companion home calendar goes
TO every new subscriber and to everyone
who makes gift subscription.
You can, if you wish, take advantage OIL
The Companions special arrangement
with McCaIl's Magazine, and by sending
$2.10 get both publications for 1917.
This makes two Christmas Presents fol
the price of one. Everyone taking ad-
vantage OF this offer has the choice OF
free Dress Pattern sentby McCaIl'S Maya
zine on receipt OF 2-cent stamp.

Another Ware Fire.

Mr.. John N. Ware, son of Rev. and
Mrs. ]. w Ware, OF this place, was burn
ed out OF house and home Sunday night
at Seewanee, Tennessee, where he is a
member OF the faculty OF the University
of the South. Rev. Mr.. Ware received
telegram saying that the clearinghouse,
which is one OF the college group, had
been burned and that they had saved
most of their household goods. A daugh-
ter was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ware on
thanksgiving day, and Mrs. Ware was in
hospital at the time of the fire, so was
thus spared the excitement and possible
danger. Ii is singular coincidence thai
just two weeks previously the home OIL
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Ware, Jr., in this
county, was also entirely destroyed by
file. The brothers have taken their mis-
fortunes heroically, however, and are in
no wise cast down.

We Are Always On the map.
The appointment of Robert N. Harper
TO be chairman OF the committee that will
be in charge of the inauguration ceremo-
MES in Washington next March, when
President Wilson will begin his second
term, is another re ninder that Shepherds
town is always on the map. Mr.. Harper,
who is a distinguished banker and
business man OF Washington City, is OF a
former well-knoxn Shepherdstown FAM
lily. He is a grandson OF Wells Harper,
who lived here many years ago, and
Wells Harper was a nephew OF Col.
Charles Harper, one of our most prom
inent citizens before the war. The FAM
lily home of the Harpers was the residence
on Main street now occupied by b. D.
Pendleton, and Col. Harper had drug
store where Mr.. Pendleton now has his
place of business. Col. Harper was the
commander of the only company OF artil-
lery that Shepherdstown could boast,
and though he was small OF stature, he
was a man OF soldierly bearing and mil
itary ability. InShepherdstown's ancient
and honorable history of almost two
hundred years there have been number
of military companies that were the pride
OF the community, but none was more
interesting than this famous artillery COM
mand. We wish that we had some
organization to send to the inauguration
from the old home town OF Chairman
Harper's ancestors, but there is none tc

esting and beautiful one, and the more so

family for more than $50 years. Miss
Eleanor Staley, niece of the bride, was
maid of honor, and Rev. Robert A. BOYLE

region, has increased its price to $3.50 a
year, and in doing so if makes this peril
nent statement 1.-THE Journallowered its
price in 1902 to $100 per year. Then
labor cost us half as much as it now does.
Then we could purchase good news print
paper at 81 00to$2. 30 per hundred bounds.
II now costs $3.50 per hundred. Then
the editor could purchase two bushels oil

at so to 60 cents. sack of buckwheal
flour at so cents. Now the wheat flour
costs us 81 so per sack, buckwheat flour
about 81 .25 to 81 40. Butter cost us then

Beefsteak then cost us 10 cents, now p
