SPECIAL MEETING HELD.
Fraternal and Civic Organi-
cations Will be Invited
to Participate.

Plans for a Decoration Day pro.
gram. in which all the various lodges
and societies OF the city may partici.
pate. are being discussed at meeting
sf the Meade Post, G. A. r.. being held
Shis afternoon. The meeting was
called as special meeting for 2 o'clock
this afternoon by order of Commander
VI. P. Wells.
1t has been some time since Fair.
mont has celebrated the 3Uth of May
in the manner in which 1t used to be
celebrated. and the old G. A. Il. men be.
.leve that in the light of present war
time conditions, a real old fashioned
decoration Day should be observed.
With the cooperation OF the various
fraternal and civic associations of the
city, the old veterans are hoping this
afternoon to set on foot an affair which
will be one OF the events of the year in
Fairmont.
On Decoration Days in the past, to
an altogether too great an extent, 1t
has BEEN the practice Of Fairmont
lodges and Fair.nont people, to go out
of town for some special celebration
which is being held elsewhere. This
year, however, it is hoped that every.
body in FairmOnt and Marion county
will cooperate in making 1t the big.
gest patriotic celebration N the Goun-
tvs history. Rain, to certain extent
hampered the Patriotic celebration OF
the Fifth, but coed weather permitting,
Decoration Day can be made to far sur
pass 1t.

Thirteen Car Load Order
Placed Through Farm
Bureau.
Will COVER 1900 ACRES
All Over the State the Or
ders for Fertilizers Have
Increased.

AS an evidence of the increased
agricultural activity throughout the
country this summer more fertilizers
are being purchased by the farmers
this spring than ever before. In ad-
dition to the quantities purchased
through local agents. which show "a
marked increase over those of prev.
ious years, two hundred and seventy
tons of fertilizer have been ordered di-
rectly from the factory by the Marion
county farm bureau.
Last year the farms of West Viz.
GINA used over forty-six thousand tons
OF fertilizer at a cost of over one mil
lion dollars. in an effort to maintain
or increase the fertility of the soils
OF the state. Although the exact total
quantity that will be used in the state
this year is not vet known it is Ger
tain that it will be much larger than
last year, and this des oite the increase
in price.
Thirteen car loads of fertilizer were
ordered by the Farm bureau some
weeks ago but the shipments have
been delayed and have not all arriv-
ed. However, division freight agents
on all the roads have been ordered
by. the government to rush all ship
ments OF fertilizer in order that the
preparation or the soils and the plant
ing of crops throughout the country
may not be longer delayed and it is
probable ihat the local shipments will
he received very soon.
The quantity ordered for this coun.
ty Is sufficient to fertilize eighteen
hundred acres using three hundred
pounds to the acre, which is very
liberal average. This is the third
year in which Marion county farmers
have co.operated through the Farm
bureau in the purchase Of fertilizer.
