Want Garage Aisles
Kept Clear OF Cars
In Case OF a Fire

There is an agitation among certain
local motorists to have city ordinance
requiring that aisles of all public gar
ages used for storing cars shall be kept
clear at ali times so that cars may be
run out quickly in case Of fire.
It's a mighty good idea" said La
mar Thomas. of the Thomas Motor
company. we do q big storage busI-
ness but we heartily approve the idea
In fact. we already have a rule OF our
own that all aisles must be kept clear
and that these aisles be at least 20 feet
wide. IN case OF a fire, cars can be
quickly run out Of danger

Editor Register-The great war IN
Europe will last another year. A large
proportion of farmers are fighting the
worlds greatest battles tor democracy.
Mr.. Hoover, the food agent, says the
wheat crop of the world is 400 million
bushels short, and all our farmers are
urged to increase the average OF wheat
and double the quantity OF fertilizer used
this fall. Our county produced more
wheat than any other county in the two
Virginias the year before the State was
divided.
The United States is asked to raise a
billion bushels OF wheat next year, zoo
millions more than 1917. We can do il by
more acreage and more fertilizer. Sum-
nit Point merchants, dealers in fertilizer,
opened wide the slots in drills and let all
the fertilizer run through that could as a
test crop. They raised "a 2-5 bushels 10
the acre-see that!
Let every farmer in our celebrated val
lev emulate the test of Summit Point men,,
so we can feed the hungry and starving
world. You will get s. and up per bush
ell for il, and this is the greatest opportu-
nifty to do good and get rich. Also buy
liberty bonds and help the government.
Every 500 bond bought equips a soldier
fully. Ifyou can't 60, send fullY-epuip-
ped soldier TO fight democracy's greatest
battles. This is our duty. Let US do both.

Bakerton, w. Va, Sept. l, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Snyder-l note in the last
issue of your paper an article on GOOD
Men Get in Trouble" No one appre-
ciates the humor of the situation more
than |. and enjoyed reading it. But |
feel that on account of the fact that the
Southern Methodist Church was menilon-
ed in il that should make statement 10
clear up ar idea that seems to have found
a place in the minds of several people
The article states that the gentlemen
claim that they do not owe any license
because the moving picture show was
not run at profit 10 them. as The proceeds
went to the building fund OF the Meiho-
dist Church. have talked with two OF
these gentlemen, and they deny making
any such claim. Furthermore, want 10
say as pastor and also as chairman OF Inc
building committee that am positive that
moi one cent was given to the Methodist
Church at any time in its history as profit
from the moving picture or from any
other source OF income in the hall. |
make this statement because there may
be some who misunderstood the article.
Allow me to say in justice to these gen.
temen land they are my friends) that
our church could not have done the Work
il did without the use OF the hall as a
place OF worship while the church was
in process OF construction. Not one
cent was charged the church for rent.
The only expense we were at was the
cost OF lights, fuel and ianitor service.
The gentlemen have contributed literally
to the building fund, as they are all men,
bers OF the church, but the hall, moving
picture machine or any other enterprise
have not been run in the interest OF the
church. The money that was used in the
building was given by self-sacriflclhg,
toiling people. trust that you will give
this item little space as prominent as
the other article and thus help us clear up
a little Misunderstanding.
Sincerely your friend,

skies, and the weather has been perfect
up 10 this writing. The exhibits are moi
as numerous as usual, but what they lack
in quantity they make up in quality, Tor
in the ladies' department and in the az
ricultural department they are especially
attractive. The crowd yesterday was
not up to the average-probaoly the peo-
pie generally are waiting until THURSDAY
and for Friday, when there are interest
ing programmes. There are hundreds
OF automobiles on the grounds, including
many Fords, which competed Tor the nu-
merous prizes offered. A carnival COM
pany fills up practically all OF the space
that is given over to amusements and
shows. The grounds are particularly al
tractive this year. The grassy lawns and
the shade trees are in perfect condition
and everybody is enjoying the socia
features and the picnic pleasures.

THERE are still a good many persons

can to prevent our government from car
rying on IFS war against Germany. They
are radically wrong for two reasons: In

helping Germany, for that empire would
rather have the pacifists carrying on their

have them fighting boldly against our

based on No. northern wheat in
Chicago, has been fixed by the special
committee OF the food commission headed
by H. A. Garfield, and President Wilson
las approved the action. This price will
hold good until July, 1918. Under the
law by which the price has been fixed,
the President has authority 10 purchase
the entire crop of the country if he so
d. sireS.
This is a very satisfactory price TO the
farmers, and il is admitted that il will
yield them an excellent profit. One
good feature of the price fixing is that
they can sell their wheat whenthey desire,

fluctuations caused by various forms OF
