upheld the Mexican policy Of the viii

training, as well. as to develop the
roads and other resources Of the cOun-

The present system of enlisting re-

Owens is not effective. Referring 10

WHAT KIND or CITIES
GETS INDUSTRIES

the workman's spare hours. Is a city
that is bound TO prosper. A city with
good express. telegraph, telephone,
postofice and banking facilities great
ly aids in establishing Industries and
very often is the means Of locating
others. In addition 10 those there
must be available factory sites read
lily accessible and this is one Of the
urgent and pressing problems now
confronting your secretary and a
problem to which we must give SER
ious and prompt consideration.
Speaking from the standpoint OF
the manufacturer, with whom the
writer has rubbed shoulders for the
last fifteen years, would say, that a
city hoping to make real progress
these days OF keen civic competition
must he represented by a board OF
trade ready to meet the manufacturer
prepared to give him information out
lined In a previous article, entitled,
1.-THE Location OF a Factory We
must be prepared to give the manu-
facturer the information sought In a
concise manner. leaving no doubt In
his mind whatever as TO the truth and
t]horoughness OF the facts set forth. II
a manufacturer goes into a town seek
ing a location for an industry, his OBJ
%jective point invariably is the board
OF trade headquarters, the same as he
would seek the information bureau at
a railroad station. II he cannot find
the information or finds a n%on-active
board OF trade he will be unfavorably
impressed with the city, and such in
formation as he may receive from the
headquarters Of an ~inadcquately oper-
ated organization will be looked upon
as unreliable and misleading. On the
other hand, IL the Information he
seeks Is available without hesitation
and the assistance given is prompt
and efficient II will Invariably leave
such a favorable impression on him
as to very strongly influence the Sc
lection OF a site.
1t therefore behoOyes us good peO-
pie of Clarksburg to maintain a strong
and efficient board Of trade and see to
it that II is in~telligently, c%ourteously
and ably operated.

AGRICULTURAL
IMPLEMENTS
ARE NEEDED
In France as Bad as Munitions
of War Says Allied Relief
Committee.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.--It Is not
only for shells. rifles and other mum
lions OF war that the Allies are turn
ing to the United States. France, al
least, Is In urgent need OF agricultural
implements and must depend upon
this country 10 furnish them. What
is of added interest is the fact that
It is the FRrench women and chill
dren who will use these Implements.
The men are at the front, fighting;
It Is upon the mothers, wives-and
widows-and the girls and boys from
ten to eighteen years Of age that
France must depend for the planting
and harvesting Of her crops.
1t is In the invaded sections OF
Northern France that these imple-
ments are most needed. This fact Is
emphasized in a recent communica-
tion from the American relief clear
ance house in Paris which keeps
closely in touch with the conditions
and needs in France through the
medium of personal investigation.
This communication, in part, is as
follows:
"You must picture to yourself a
country which is absolutely destitute
of everything. except the land. The
enemy, in their retreat from the conn
tries and territories which they In
yaded, carried away with them every
piece OF metal, taking even the iron
shares"
The fact Is then stressed that It
Is the women and children upon
whom the labor of tilling the soil has
fallen. and that they must be equin-
ped with tools. An appeal Is made
for funds with which to purchase and
supnly them the following agricul-
turaI implements:

they had been bombarded by heavy

caissons, quantities Of munitions ana
numerous guns been engulfed, the des-
