 Edwin Lewis Burr, 69, left his home on the o'clock trolley Tues. day morning, May 1st for New Haven. His intention was to collect rent for double house which he owns there and return before night. Since leav- ing his tenants nothing has been heard from him. Mir. Burr has been sub- jeot to attacks of unoonsciousness, yet these were of short duration and quite infrequent. His health has been much impared since the death of his only son just year ago. A diligent search has been made through the proper authorities in Hartford, New Haven and New York. Mrs. Burr's brother, J. NJ. Leach, has followed out every possible clew but as yet without avail. Because a man of excellent habits, in dustrious and prudent, the searching officials believe that it is case of a deranged mind, and that he will soon be heard from. He has been in the dry goods business here for many years and his only daughter, Miss Lavilla, is conducting the store during his strange absence. Mrs. Burr and daughter have the sympathy of the entire community in their terrible sorrow and suspense.

 About the town aud borough are several unsightly and health mepaoing spots. Side hills, river banks and other places have been used as dump ing grounds for partially emptied tin food containers and general rubbish. The tin cans accumulate water and so become breeding places for mos- quitoes and other disease carriers. Won't you inspect your property and see that all rubbish is disposed of and prevention taken to insure the cleanli. ness of the place in the future? Staf- ford needs the patriotism of everyone to protect her beauty and preserve her health.
 
 It is predicted that the world is facing the greatest food shortage ever known. Unusual efforts are being made to have as much land as possible planted this year. A public meeting will be held at Oomique theatre on Friday evening at 7.45 in the interest of food production. All men and women are urged to be present. There will be addresses by. Prof. W. L. Slater of the Connecticut agricultural college on "The food situation, and by ex-Attorney General Charles Phelps of Rockville oh "Our national duty. '' The Italian band has consented to furnish music, although the time is too short to prepare special program. This is vital question in which every. one should be deeply concerned and is of much more importance than many people realize. Show your patriotism and attend.

At the morning service of the First
Methodist church a very interesting
address was made by Senator w. S
Meredith.
DR.. j. C. Bloomfield, pastor of the M.
P. Temple, preached splendid SER
mon at the Temple in which he dis
cussed various phases Of the war situa-
ton. DR.. Bloomfield in this sermon
takes very optimistic view Of the
war and believes in the ultimate trt-
umph Of the allies and the firm estab-
lishment of a permanent democracy
throughout the world. DR.. Broomf1eld
predicts that in the great council which
will follow the war and the triumph Of
the allies that the United States gov
eminent will be the controlling force
in the establishment of such democ-
racy.
Dr.. BroomHeld believes that the en-
trance Of America into the world con-
flict has united the nation which had
been torn and divided in sentiment for
a period of time and that the people
as a nation are legion in upholding the
hand Of the government in its efforts
to promote stable democracy.
DR.. Broom0eld believes that the
most hopeful sign of the times is the
awakening spirit of reform. Every
throne in Europe" he said, lis shaking
before the bombardment of reforms
and the nations which by social re-.
forms liberates the spirit of humanity,
will awaken in it's people fever Of
patriotism hitherto unknown"
Dr. BroomaeId touched on the sub.
iect of food conservation and while he
believes in the conservation of the food
resources of the land and believes in
each individual and corporation con-
serving to the best of their ability the
foodstuffs he believes this phase Of
war economy should extend further
and reach to the matter of nation wide
prohibition and the conservation of the
vast quantities Of grain which are an

BASEBALL GAMES
FOR THE FOURTH
Two Interesting Games to
be Played at Traction
Park.

Lovers of baseball will have a
chance to see two good baseball games
on the Fourth of July. Besides the
two baseball games at Traction Park
on that date there will be many 9TH
er attractions but baseball will be the
main feature of the days program.
In the morning at ten o'clock, the
program will be opened with a fast
contest between team from the First
Regiment and the Monongah Out
laws.
Having many candidates for the
team, the Regimental lineup for We'd
nesday is yet uncertain. With one or
two exceptions the same team that de-
feated Baxter yesterday by a 40 sco:e
will represent the outlaws.
The afternoon contest will be be-
tween the Consolidation Coal Company
team and the Frostburg Independents.
With vic Toothman the well known
MOnongah professional pitcher on the
mound, the locals were able to defeat
Frostburg in a game played here May
% by a 81 score. Since that time the
Frostburg team has been reinforced
with several new players.
Tho Frostburg team will come to
Fairmont with revenge, and with a
pitcher other than Toothman on the
mound, they will be confident of vic
tory. The two fbest men on the visit
ing team are Boyle and Whitlion,
short stop and pitcher, who are both
deaf and dumb. They direct the other
members of team by talking on their
