them and pick the fruit. There has
been employed during the picking
season in the larges, orchards as
many as 100 people at one time. and
this gives some idea of the good that
it does. IT has also helped to en-.
nance the value OF real estate very
much, for the reason that there has
been great deal of money made
cut of orcahrds, and when the people
sell their crop and have a good lot
Of money they use it to buy more
land or they loan it.
Three orchard companies in this
county, the North Mountain Orchard
Co. McKown Orchard Co, and the
Grimes Golden Orchard Co. paid div
idends last fall ranging from Is TO
% per cent, besides paying all taxes
and improvements and laying aside
money for expenses for the coming 70
months. These are all young orchards
and if they can pay such dividends
when the trees are young and have
not reached their full size. they GER.
tainly will be able to pay much larg-

ment. There is no occupation that
is more healthy than that of fruit
growing.
Apples will keep longer than any
other fruit, either out OF ,r in stor.
age, and those raised in a mountain
section color better and keep better
than those raised on level ground.
The apples raised in this county last
year were sold in all the biz centers
of population, and a number in the
apple district in New York State. We
can ship apples in carload lots to New
York city for II cents per barrel. ana
It costs $3.50 per barrel from Spo.
kane, Wash; or, in other words. it
costs six times as much to ship a box
or barrel of apples from the State
of Washington. to New York city as
Ii does from West Virginia Ralf of
the population of the United States
lives within $50 miles of Martinsbure
So you can see that we are practical
ly at the doors of the markets.
"All of this means a great thing for
Martinsburg which is the ounty seat
and now has a population of about 12,-
goo people and is located on the main
line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail.
road and Cumberland Valley railroad.
The Western Maryland railroad is
now in the county, and has surveyed
and bought the right of way most of
the way to Martinsburg, and we be-
lieve that inside of year this line
will reach our city, too"

That patriotism at this time is rap

that President Wilson's call to arms
is rapidly being answered.

grand old flag. This morning a young

TRIB TAKES ANOTHER PROD AT
THE PARMELEE BUS co.
The Trib took another fall out of
Johnny Shaffer of the Post and his
ParmeIee bus company this morning.
Its Washington correspondent dug
up a lot of things that Shaffer said
years ago before the interstate COM
MERGE commission.
Then the Trib man went on to find
out where the bus firm could be pros
ecuted if it was violating any laws in
coping all the railroad transfer bust
ness from the taXtfrms.
The interstate commerce comm
backed off when asked to start some
thing, but referred the TTib to the
federal trade comm, with the advice
that the independent companies of
the city should complain.
Mayor Thompson and the Trib are
working together in this effort to
take the business from the Parmelee
company.
His interest is said to be a desire
to get even" with Shaffer and Char
lie McCuIloch because they have
been humping him in their paper, the
Post.
Heavy advertising contracts from
the Shaw, Atlas, Yellow Cab and
American Taxi firms is supposed to
have goaded the Trib into its cam
paign against the Parmelee firm,
which has never contributed to the
Golfers of the trust press.
