MAKING DYESTUFFS.

Some textile concerns must be pro-
yided with dyes, for recent report
of the dry goods market noted that
mills that were well provided with
dyes and wool were making extensive
displays of fall goods. That many
other mills are having much trouble
is true enough, but white goods are
not yet universal, and the domestic
dye industry is straining every nerve
to meet the demand.
The quality leaves a good deal to
be desired, according to many re-
ports, but we have chemists in this
country-some of them are Germans
and they are trying to improve the
fastness Of the hues as we'll as their
variety We observe that the Federal
Dyestuffs and Chemical Company
with a plant near Bristol, Tenn, has
just shipped its first barrel of blac,
dye to Riverside. n J. when in full
operation it will employ 5000 per
sons.

WEST vIRGINiA,s SPRINGS.

The bulletin issued by the federal
bureau for foreign and domestic com
merce for the purpose of interesting
manufacturers of aerated and mineral
waters in the South American mar.
ket for their goods, suggests the
thought that the mineral springs of
West Virginia have not been exploit
ed to such an extent as their excel.
lence warrants. The bureau calls at
tention to the fact that in Argentine,
Brazil, Chile, Peru, and various parts
of Central America the drinking
water is of such poor quality that all
who can afford 1t buy bottled water
imported from other countries. The
United States furnishes considera
BILE quantity, but West Virginia sup
plies none of it that is shipped from
this country Notwithstanding the
purest and most health-g giving water
to be obtained anywhere flows from
springs in the mountains of this
State.
A hand book recently issued by the
West Virginia Society of the District
of Columbia advances the claim that
the Little Mountain State possessea
more mineral springs than any other
State in the Union. Among those emu
ne Grated in this pamphlet are Berke
ley Springs, in Morgan county; Capon
Springs, in Hampshire; Healing
Springs. in Mercer; Red Sulphur and
Old Sweet Springs, in Monroe; Shan
nondale Springs, in Jefferson; Web
ster Springs, in Webster, and White
Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier. Most
properties are to be found at many
of these are located at more or less
popular summer resorts. White Sui
phur being the most famous, but
waters containing equally beneficial
other places. A water which it is said
that analyses show to be ideal for
table use, and which is likely to be
put on the market with an extensive
advertising campaign, is that which
flows in abundance from Minnehaha
Springs, located near Marlinton, in
Pocahontas county.
The water from all the springs mem
TONED compares fayorably with wa
tiers which are extremely advertised
and in great demand all over the
country. Big fortunes have been made
through their sale, yet they do not
show up as we'll in analysis as water
which flows from West Virginia
springs, and which furnishes splendid
opportunity for capital and enterprise.

HENS WILL LAY
IN CLEAN HOUSE
Don't Expect Eggs If House is Not
Perfectly Sanitary in All
Respects.

1t has often been said that hens
always lay we'll in new house. The
reason for this is that d new house is
perfectly clean. Dust, filth, lice and
disease germs are absent. To get as
many eggs in an old house it must be
made, from sanitary standpoint, as
good as new
First the%walls and ceilings must be
swept to remove dust and cobwebs.
Then all the dirt on the floor should
be taken out. If there is board or
concrete floor the job of cleaning is an
easy one, but if there is only a dirt
floor then all the dirt should be re-
moved that has been worked in by
the hens.
After the sweeping and shoveling
are done cover all cracks in the walls
with tarred paper fastened on with
lath, and then the walls and ceiling
can be whitewashed, is the excellent
advice given by G N. Whitaker in
Farm and Home. The orchard spray
er may be used, or a bucket sprayer
will answer the purpose equally we'll
The whitewash should cover every
thing and penetrate every corner and
crevice.
Half sack of hydrated lime makes
five or six pals Of good wash and
practically all of it will pass through
a nozzle. By adding half a pint OF
crude carbolic acid to each pailfull the
henhouse will be thoroughly disin
Ifected
Leave the nests out of doors to be
purified by sun and rain and replace in
the house as fast as the hens need
them, first giving them a good going
over with disinfecant. II, when all
this is done, the windows are washed
suitable ventilation and sufficient lit
ter provided, the fowls will have
clean, well-lighted quarters and the
winter egg problem will be more than
half solved.

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1916.
HON. w. T, HlTE.

The Republican party has never
been lacking in good material. There
has never been time when the par
ty was compelled to nominate Just
anybody to make the race for any
particular Office, because the ranks
are crowded with splendid men who
are willing to make sacrifices for their
party's welfare as we'll as that of the
State and the Nation.
This year the party has two SPLEEN
did candidates who aspire to sue
coed Senator William e. Chiffon
former Governor Albert B. White, of
Parkersburg, and Hon. w. t. Hite. of
Huntington. Undoubtedly the former
is the better known, as the latter has
not taken as much interest in poll
ties as the Parkersburg statesman.
Mr.. lIite only recently announced
his candidacy, and in coming before
the people does it as any good citi-
zen has the right. He plainly states
ing the high Office to which he as
pires. He is willing to submit his
claims to the party, and should ma
jorityg rule in his favor he will wage
vigorous fight against his Democrat
ic opponent but should an adverse
verdict be returned he will gladly
abide by it and support the Republi-
can nominee.
Mr.. Hite is not very we'll known in
this section of the State, but enough
of him is known that the rank and
file of the Republican party feel that,
should he be successful, he will rep
resent the State in an able manner,
being ready at all times to look after
the interests of his constituents. He
has a strong following throughout the
State, and the manner in which he is
conducting his campaign is evidence
that he is clean. able and progress
sive.

In London.
Unless the British, as German SYM
pathizers viii readily regard as pos

the papers, the tales of Won Papen's

PRESIDENT BATTING.

While as a nation we have grown
in efficiency, wealth and many of the
other things that make up a great
commonwealth, it must be admitted
that we have not improved as much
in manners, at least so far as the
treatment of our national leaders is
concerned, as could be wished. In
the rude, crude days when the strug-
gle for liberty was fresh i'll the mind
and the seemingly eternal struggle
with the wilderness and its wild in
habitants was always present, some
crudity of temperament and acidity of
expression could be forgiven easily.
But the soothing influence of more
civilized surroundings and the accum
ulation of creature comforts have not
smothered that spirit of carping criti-
cism which is particularly so ill-tim-
ed in such an emergency as now ex-
lists. If ever there was time for
President-baiting now there cannot
possibly be any

that 1t was Mr.. French who led the
nght against DR.. Hatfield for the
president OF the state senate in the
famous fight in 1910. which resulted
IN the rout and retreat of the fifteen
republican senator's to Cincinnati, and
the ultimate selection of Senator
Preston as president of the upper
mousse and the discontinue of Hat
field. The manner of Mr. French's
election to the state senate also adds
an interesting chapter touching on
dis personal popularity, for he was
elected from the 9TH district. nor
mally 1,5OO Republican, by major
ity of 1000, and carried every coun-
ty in the district, which included
Mercer and Raleigh, both Republi-
can strongholds.
In the state senate Mr.. French was
a commanding figure at all times
and much meritorious legislation re-
suited from his efforts, among which
was the primary election law, rec
ognized as the best the state ever
bad, which was SO ruthlessly kill
ed aud the present partisan measure
substituted by the Republicans at the
last infamous legislative session.
Mr. French is a Virginia gentleman.
native of Giles county, coming to
West Virginia "a years ago and being
prominently identified with the devel-
opment of the southern section of the
state ever since. BY occupation
lawyer, he is in every way fitted to
conduct the affairs of state in a man.
ner that will not only be creditable
to him, but which will be an assur-
ance of a continuance of Democratic
administration in the commonwealth
for the future and the utter rout or
boss rule and peanut politics.
What ever Mr.. French's views may
/ be ON the subject of entering the
race, he is, to our way OF thinking,
the logical Democratic candidate for
governor in the campaign of this year,
and no better choice could possibly be
made, and it is without any apology
to Senator French that we advance
his name for the endorsement of the
public.

PLANS TO FIGHT
SAN JOSE SCALE
States Fruit Trees are Threatened
With Ruin, Says Commissioner
Williams.

Officials of the state department of
agriculture are manifesting consider
able interest in a movement on foot
among orchardists of the Kanawha
spraying of fruit trees, shrubbery and
lawn trees for the determination of
the San Jose scale during the remain
der of the winter. Commissioner e.
Fl. Williams, of the department, is
authority for the statement that
Charleston and the surrounding coun-
try is full of the pest. In fact, he
thinks the fruit trees of the entire
Kanawha valley are threatened with
ruin, particularly apple and pear
trees. He is of the opinion that the
community effort should be made in
this direction by the owners of city
lots having such trees on their prem
Uses. as we'll as by the farmers up
and down the valley.
Hence he welcomes the suggestion
that somebody be encouraged to OPP
crate a portable spraying outfit in
that vicinity this spring.
If any good is to be done in the
interest of next summers fruit crop
it will have to be done between now
and the middle of April. and so con.
cerned are the orchardists over the
alarming spread of this destroying
scale among the trees during the last
few months that it is reasonably GER
tain the interested persons will have
such an outfit at work soon.

tbT the knfernnffoa4l news scrNfcesD
New York, Sept. 6-Traders were quick
today to take up the suggestion that the
great manufacturing companies can make
no money until the stun they make has
been carried to market by the railroads
and the steamship lines. Rails were the
prominent features on the market and
shamed the presidents by rising an aver
age OF points all around, while those
WORTHLESS were in session trying to fig
ure out how to obey the recently enacted
law and escape recefvership.
o Under cover Of this strength in the
rails there was some professional profit
taking in the Industrial HIST, but not
enough to hurt the market. 1t was the
advance in Union Pacific that made Wall
Street pay most attention because the
railroads have been laughed out of their
plea Of poverty, and the Union Pacific
directors have no longer any reason for
Withholding that special cash dividend
Of per cent which some of them wanted
to pay a month ago. Payment Of it would
help the market and therefore It may be
expected soon.
New York Central and even the Hill
roads, Great Northern and Northern Pa
Cinc, which were absolutely sure to be
ruined II the eight-hour day went into
effect, rose about points each. So did
Mr.. Ripley's Atchison Railroad to pre-
vent tne complete run OF WHICH FTcSl-
dent Ripley has already made plans to
60 to Jail as q martyr to the eight-hour
law, which he says will never be obeyed
by his road. It Is extremely awkward
that the railroad earnings should con-
tinue at such a heavy rate and that the
prospects for a big business even after
the war should be so good.
In anticipation of continued prosper
ity for the railroads the railroad equip
ment shares, American Car and Foundry

Spring were unusually strong. The lat
ter made a new high record with an ad-
vance OF FIVE points.
American Can sold higher than at any
time since the big boom last year. In
dustrial Alcohol made a new high record
for the movement. This strength in the
munitions Is due TO a growing fealiZation
cf the fact that the war is not half over.
Col. Robert NJ Thompson. who has soms
reputation as a military authority, stated
today that he expects the war to last
for ave years. He Is one Of the control
ling interests Of International Nickel and
that accounts for the strength Of nickel
