IN another column may be found a
notice calling for meeting in Charles
Town on Friday OF this week for dis
cussion of the prices Of fuel for the
coming GEOGRAPHICALLY the gross
margin to be allowed the dealers in the
several communities Of Jefferson coun-
ty. This is very important matter,
and everybody interested ought to
avail themselves Of the invitation to at
tend the meeting. There has been a
good deal of talk to the effect that deal
ers have been charging more than they
ought-that their profits are exorbitant.
Now is the time to go into this question
in the proper way, and find out if this
criticism is iustfiable or not. The
people are entitled to get their fuel at
fair rates-this is the desire OF the
government lat the same time the deal
ers have a right to reasonable profit,
and no fair-minded person should OBJ
ject to this. In our opinion, the right
thing to do is TO discuss the situation
fly and frankly, make known the facts
and figures, and fix upon a fair price
fer both the dealer and the purchaser
price that will yield an honest profit
10 the seller and which will disarn
those consumers who have been criti-
cising the rates OF the past winter. We
believe that Fridays meeting may be
productive Of much good

form price for coal in the several COM
munites of Jefferson county:
1t appearing to the undersigned that
the gross margin now permissible to

coal of various kinds may be sold by the
retailers of said communities. And it

Ordered, that all dealers and con-
sumerS be given reasonable notice by
publication in some local newspaper or
otherwise, and an opportunity to be
heard during said committees work Of
making such investigation, and that

served among the records Of said COM
mittee. And also it is
Ordered, that upon said committee
having arrived at finding or decision
in these matters, the same, together
with the written evidence and the rec
ords of the oral evidence submitted, as
we'll as all other facts ascertained by

TEXAS is going strong for prohibi-
ton this year. The Legislature prompt
" ratified the national prohibition
amendment. Then it passed law pro-
hibiting liquor selling within ten miles
Of any army cantonment or aviation
field, which on April 18th will close
almost every saloon in the State. The
finishing touch was put on the liquor
business by passing Statewide pro-
hibition law. which forbids the manu-
facture or sale Of liquor and will make
Texas entirely dry within ninety days,
having been signed by the Governor
last Thursday.
And the liquor people counted Texas
as one of the wet States!
On Tuesday the lower house OF the
Massachusetts, Legislature ratified the
national prohibition amendment by a
vote of l45 to 81. The measure now
goes to the Senate. This action was a
heavy blow to the vets, for they have
never thought of Massachusetts, as be-
ing doubtful so far as the liquor ques-
ton is concerned. If the Senate shall
also endorse the amendment we think
that the liquor people will be about
ready to throw up their hands.

"A Modern Musketeer" Monday.

Last Sundays Baltimore Sun contain
ed a whole page of hair-breadth photo
graphs taken from the play, "a Mod
ern Musketeer," which will be shown
next Monday at the local opera house,
with Douglas Fairbanks in the title
role, with Marjorie Daw, a sixteenyear-
old star, assisting. Those who saw
these photographs in the Sun were
amazed at the hazardous positions
Fairbanks assumes on high mountain
peaks in the Grand Canyon Of Colora-
do, 1000 feet above sea level. With
his head resting on one stone and his
feet extending to another, with nothing
but air beneath for several thousand
feet, nothing but amazement takes hold
Of one who witnesses such feats Of
athletic skill. This and many other
remarkable efforts are made by Fair
banks in this picture, which is con-
sidered not only the best, but the most
wonderful picture he has ever made,
which is saying much. Under these
conditions it goes without saying that a
pleasant, thrilling evening is in store
for all who see il Monday.

amount of S3,OO0,OOO,OO0, bearing in
terest at the rate OF Az per cent, will

day a letter from Governor Cornweli
was read, calling upon that body to see

bodied men between the ages OF 10 ana
60 to work at least SO hours week be

hours a week, and these must now give
an account of themselves and get busy.
Persons who have knowledge OF such
idlers will do patriotic duty by giving
their names to any officer Of the law,
who will take the necessary action. A
suggestion is all that is necessary, and
the name of the informant will not be

come under the class Of shirkers. The
burden of proof is upon him, and the

IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of my dea,
this life one year ago, March rs. 1917.
One weary year has passed,
Yet it seems but yesterday,
Since we saw them place her form
Beneath the cold and silent clay.
Lonely the home and sad the hours,
Since our dear mother has gone;
But, Oh, brighter home than ours,
In heaven, is now her own.
Oh, how hard We tried to save her.
Prayers and tears were all in vain;
Happy angels came and took her
From this world OF toll and pain.
And we often sit and wonder
At what you would say,
II you only knew the changes
That have happened since that day.
By Her Daughter, Mrs. Mary Gsno.
In sad but loving remembrance OF my dear
father, Jacob Coe Grim. who died seven years
ago. February Is, 1911. l.oved in life, in death
remembered.
Sleep, dear father. and take your rest,
God called you home, He thought II best;
1t was hard, true, to part from thee,
But Christ's strong arms supporteth me.
dear father from US has gone.
A voice We loved is still,
A place is vacant IN our home
Which never can be filled.
Yet again hope TO meet thee,
When the day OF life is fed,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are she'd

THE past week has witnessed the
greatest battle OF the dreadful war that
is deluging Europe with blood. All
the week the Germans have been press
ing with greatest ferocity the British
section of the battle front, throwing men
by the hundreds Of thousand against the
defenders OF civilization and bringing to
bear many thousands OF cannon and
other engines OF war in attempt to break
through the lines. But while the Brit
ish have been forced back step by step,
their line still holds, and though bent
mas not been broken. Vast numbers
of men have been slain in the terrible
combat on both sides, the Germans be-
ing slaughtered by tens Of thousands
as the Kaiser and his generals from a
safe distance in the rear drive them
forward. The British have lost many
soldiers as prisoners Of war, but they
have fought against overwhelming num-
bers with great bravery and with un-
daunted spirit.
The French reinforcements are now
supporting the British and the Ameri-
cans are also joining in the battle.
The issue is still in doubt, but we be-
lieve that the Allies will be able to
stem the German attacks and beat back
the enemy. If the Allies can withstand
the fearful onslaught that Is being
made upon them at this time they will
save the war, for that this is the su-
preme effort of the Huns is conceded
on all sides.
God be with the brave men who are
fighting the battles for humanity and
for civilization.

THE Food Administration has issued
new regulations requiring the people
tc still further conserve food stuffs,
and patriotic citizens will Of course dc
their best to comply with these require
ments. A very large proportion OF the
people would be much more cheerful in
their compliance, however, il they could
be assured that the breweries must stop
rotting grain in the manufacture OF
beer. Last year 100000 bushels Of
barley and several million bushels of
corn and rice went into beer, and the
waste is still going steadily on. Natural
ly, as the New York Sun puts it, what
We drink We cannot have to eat.
OF course the brewers will do nothing
voluntarily, for, besides being greedy
for their profits, practically all Of them
are Germans from the heart and have
no real desire TO see the United
States win the war Our government
has mighty good reason, il seems to US,
for shutting down the breweries, just
as the distilleries were closed.

1T is said that a combination has been
made by which former Governor Hat
field, Editor H. C. Ogden, Of Wheeling,
and Virgil L. Highland, of Clarksburg,
will pool their political resources and
use them for the election Of Mr.. High
land as the next United States Senator
from West Virginia We doubt if the
Republican party will stand for this
scheme-certainly the people Of West
Virginia will balk at it.
The plan is. apparently, for this
precious trio" as it has been called, TO
control political affairs in West Virgin
ia. Mr.. Highland is to be Senator and
Mr.. Ogden to be national committee
man, while Governor Hatfield, by using
his State appointees, who still control
nearly all of the departments OF the
State government, will so manipulate
the machine as to insure his nomina-
ton for the Senate TO succeed Senator
Sutherland at the end of his present
term.
