N. A. Freng, an employee Of the
Nezperce Trading Co, went TO
Moscow Sunday to spend the day
with his family and on arriving
at that place was informed that
a fire early that morning had de-
stroyed the house his family was
living in and that his wife was
badly burned. In speaking of the

The fire started from a defee-

Shepherdstown People Should Not
Wait Until 1t Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fac
that the little kidney troubles are usual
" neglected until they become serious
The slight symptoms often give place
to chronic disorders and the sufferer
may slip gradually into some serious
form of kidney complaint.
IF you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc,
cretions are irregular OF passage anc
unnatural, do not delay. Help the
kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them
Here's a case at home.
Mrs. John Snyder. Shepherdstown
says: "Several years ago suffered
from an attack of kidney trouble. MY
back ached constantly and sometimes
pains of a sharp nature would shoe
through the small of my back and into
my sides. My kidneys acted irregular
ly also. AS had read Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills | got some at Hills Phar
macy. The first box helped me 81
much, continued their use until was

THE American Hotel Association, re-
Gently in session in New York, has ap'
pointed a committee to carry on a
vigorous campaign against the ratifca
ton Of the Federal prohibition amend,
ment. They will focus their efforts ir
thirteen States, the number required to
prevent the adoption Of the amendment
We hardly think that they will ac-
bomplish their desire. Thu people
have decreed that the saloon must go
and the politicians who will try to stifle
this expression will most certainly be
squslched
The big hotels really ought to be
satisfied with their present facilities for
robbing the public, without making
them drunk besides. And we have nc
doubt that they can readily devise SON
additional methods OF extortion that will
make up for the loss Of revenue whel
their bars close.

THE wisdom OF Presidet Wilson'S
trip to Europe 10 becoming more mani
fest each day, and the criticism OF those
who opposed his going seems now utter
iy futile and absurd. Kings and men
OF the most exalted station in govern
mental affairs are visiting him and
giving him honors and paying him the
tributes OF Difference to his advice and
acknowledgment Of his wisdom and
Justice. He is recognized as the worthy
representative Of a great nation, and
his counsel will be supreme at the peace
table. With no selfish purposes to
subserve, with no undesirable ambitions
to be sratiHed, standing on the broad
principles upon which he has stood
from the beginning, he will be potent
in his determination to make the world
safe for democracy. His clear vision
and absolute unselfshness are con-
ecded, and he has in full measure the
respect Of all the other nations, both
for himself and the great nation he
represents.
Every American ought to be proud Of
President Wilson and the position he
occupies in the estimation Of the peo-
pies Of the world.

THE cheerful news comes frol

years our State has gotten 4,4S4 mile:

only drawback to this lovely condition
is that you cannot run automobiles or
paper roads, nor drive buggies ovei
them, nor even haul grain and produc
or drive live stock to market. In lief

how many thousand OF miles must b,

loads of Americans soldiers reach
home port-happy evidence that the
war is really over. Let them come on
as fast as steam can bring 'em and
resume their rightful positions in {

ONE thing is certain: II the serious
problems that confront the American
people are to be satisfactorily solved
We must have wise legislative action or
the part of Congress and executive
ability OF high order. President Will

Farm Demonstration Service.

Directed by the West Virginia Agri-

July list. This work is provided for
by the national Department OF Agn'
culture.
After a survey of the county, it has
been determined that the most FEAST
ble plan of work will be through about
eipht communities of the county, dis
tributed so as to be accessible to any
farmer of the section. These COM
munities centers will probably be
Charles Town, Shepherdstown, Moler';
Cross Roads, Kabletown, Summit Point
Leetown, Kearneysville and Shenan-
doah Junction. -, :, ~.
Community meetings will be called
at school-houses probably, where lee
lures and demonstrations will be glver
with reference to the various problems
the farmers have to deal with in this
section. These lectures and demon
STATIONS will be given with reference
m the various problems the farmer:
have TO deal with in this section. These
lectures and demonstrations will be
given in a series, and probably will re-
late TO the question of soil fertility
with special reference to the soils
this section. All who are interested
farming are cordially invited, no
charges of any kind will be made. La
fer announcements will be given out.
AT the same time assistance will be
given to about fifty farmers in these
communities in growing crops with {
view to soil improvement, and feed for
| live stock such as cow peas, soy beans;
clovers, alfalfa and fertilizer tests on
corn or wheat and potatoes. AT the
meetings topics relating to rotations, le'
pumes, lining, inoculations, fertilizers
and cultivation will be discussed. Only
such things as have been found true
at the various experiment stations and
by farmers of wide experience will be
| presented by the Jefferson county farm
ers. Come, and let us have your ex-
perience and bring your questions.
The bows and girls will also be given
