BLACKWATER, Missouri, April 29. |
Editor The West Virginian. las
am sending renewal, think, per.
haps, your readers Cor at least some OF
them) may be interested to know
about a Red Cross community sale
which was held in our town Of about
500 inhabitants on Wednesday OF last
week.
The sale had been announced for
Saturday, the twentieth inst, but by
reason Of much rain was postponed.
On Wednesday morning the rain came
down slowly at first, but as the day
advanced the rainfall increased. The
Boonville band had been engaged as
we'll as a speaker, Hon. A. T. Dunn, OF
Jefferson City. Blackwater was en-
thusiastic. A few persons favored an
other postponement. The majority dis
scented. The telephone operator was
Kept busy bidding the people come.
Three cars were sent to Boonyille for
the band boys and the speaker (who
had arrived on an early train). The
program was for the speech to be
made at 10 o'clock in the Red Cross
building and sale to begin at 1880 p.
m. The cars coming from BOonville
a distance of eighteen miles through
mud and rain, arrived at 1856 a. m.
The band played one piece in order to
gather the people. Mr.. DUNN spoke
twenty-five minutes in O'Neal hall,
then caught the noon train out Of town.
Dinner was served a little late.
Rain abated, and country folk bringing
in donations arrived from every direC'
ton. All home people, but it was
enough. The sale began at 2 o'clock,
and lasted till 6. The proceeds Melted
nearly $1,000. Some OF tho topliners
were a ham which sold for $24. An
angels food cake, S25; a Prince OF
Wales cake which had been made and
donated by colored woman, eliza
Maupin), brought 1853; an egg which
was laid in a coop after having been
brought in, was sold as Red Cross
egg and brought S151.5O. A tatted yoke
sold for $40. A child's white dress
for $3.50. A R. /. r. hen with twenty.

of corn SIG. A cow $1S1. A SOW with
six little pigs, 500.
Lee O'Neal, a stockman, who had a
lot Of wild hogs on his farm, told the
ladies of the Red Cross that it they
would catch those hogs he would give
them half.
The town boys took a stray dog and
went in search of them. The dog
caught eight which Mr.. O'Neal shipped
to the st. Louis market. On the mar
ket the eight brought 1912. One hun
dred and six of which was turned in tc
the ladies on sale day. The dog was
labelled for the Red Cross and sole
for $50. Can your state beat It?

kes il tie matter Is taken Up systematically and h 6ne
plan ought to be the outcome Of the conference % Be
held in Charleston next week Il Is suggested that The
most promising market for West Virginia coal is South
America. Before the war broke out some coal from
this country was going to South America, but TIE
bulk Of the fuel used down there came from Europe
principally Wales. Under ordinary circumstances it
would have been hard to supplant that coal in the
South American market, but since the U-boats SO
materially reduced the available shipping that no coal
could be sent out of Europe for ordinary commercial use
the South Americans have learned TO coal, and
whether they will keep using ii will depend more upon
how they like it. as compared with the former supply, than
on the price OF it.
And how they like it is one Of the first things the West
Virginia coal people and the stale authorities ought to
make an effort to find out if West Virginia is seriously to
go after this business 1t frequently happens in domestic
trade that consumers do not like certain grades Of coal be-
cause they do not know how bum them. 1t may be that
our new South American customers who have been able al
high cost to get hold of some North American coal do mol
think very highly of it for the simple reason that they do
not know how to use it. and teaching them how will have
to be part of the selling campaign.
