West Virginian
Flag Coupons

The sudden huge demand for
American flags has had the effect
Of completely exhausting the sup.
ply all over the country and in spite
Of their very best endeavors the
manufacturers have been unable
to keep pace with the demand.
This Of necessity has thrown
into confusion all the plans Of
the people who have been distrib.
uting flags. When the price Of
flags went up like a skyrocket The
West Vlrginian made an arrange.
ment whereby It was enabled to dis.
tribute many hundreds of them at
very small cost to the public.
But In the past few weeks 1t has
been very difficult to get these
flags. For a time we took orders
for them on the strength Of state.
tnents by the manufacturers that an.
other supply would be In our hands
within o few days, but because OF
frequent disappointments we have
decided 10 withdraw the coupons
until the new invoice Of flags or.
riyes,
orders that are already IN hand
Win be filled as soon 90 the dags
get here. This may be tomorrow
ana Il may not be for Q week. The
feh9pearance OF the coupon dn
theSpaper win be notice Mat they
have arrived.

WORKING HARD TO
BRING CAMP HERE

When Major NJ. M. Nicely, NJ. c., Wis.
tied Warrington yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of looking over the sec
ton lying between Homewood and
Downs which has been suggested as a
concentration camp for West Virginia
he was greeted with a brass band, q
large delegation of citizens and pre-.
scented with petition signed by 1,700
residents of that section asking that
he use his influence to get the camp
site for Marion county.
Congressman Nicely has been work
ing for this section ever since he first
learned that West Virginia would hold
one of the camps. He has been held
up in Fairmont for a few days to look
after local matters but will return to
Washington with the idea uppermost
that Marion county is the best place in
the state for the camp. He only has to
inform the War department or who
ever might be allotted the task of find
ling proper place that there is on file
in Industrial departments Of all rail
roads in this section data concerning
this plot which plainly indicates that
there could be no better location in a
state full of mountains.
He has already notified the depart
ment that all arrangements have been
made to receive the Board which is to
select the land and to take them over
the grounds. He himself will accom-.
pany the party when it leaves Washing.
ton for Fairmont. Data on file in the
offices Of the railroad are to the effect
that there is water on the land, that
gas and electricity can be supplied the
camp in day and that coal and tim.
Der are plentiful and cheap.

City Hall Notes

Fairmont has always been touted
as having the rottenest whiskey and
the best water in the state. Concern
ing the whiskey other peoples words
have to be taken for that, but when II
comes to water the truth is that in this
months analysis at West Virginia Uni
versity Fairmont showed the best pos
sible water as concerns bacteria. There
was total absence Of colon bacteria
In the sample sent. This is because
Of the chlorine treatment which Water
Commissioner Ira Smith long ago rec
commended for the city and which was
accepted. Fairmont tops the list OF
good water towns in the state.
.
E. H. Harder, of the Concrete Steel
Engineering company, is still in the
city, design for the Coal run bridge
not having been selected today.
