TALK ABOUT THE FAIR

BUCKHANNON, Sept. 18.--It is
now time that the Uphur County Fair
should be the topic Of thought and
conversation throughout this whole
community, BY everybody near enough
to reach it. Every person should
make UP their, mind now that they
are going to attend the evsns next
week, September 23rd, oath, and Goth.
Progress is born Of experience and
no place has yet been suggested where
so much experience can be had in so
short time and at SO little expense
as at the Upshur County Fair. Now
one Of the sublimenst things in the
world is plain truth and when the
management says that, the Fair next
week will be unexcelled. They want
it understood that they mean to be
forcible as well as sublime, and,
again, if the golden moments in the
stream of life rush past us, and we
see nothing but the ripple of the
waves, we get the shadow without the
substance. 1t is only those who do
attend the Fair next week that will
be making the most Of time as it flies.

directly to them by the President that
they must return to their work and
abide by the decision of the War La

10 YEARS FOR DEBS,
is COURTS DECREE

Cleveland, Sept. 14.-Eugene v.
Debs, four times candidate for Presi-
dent on the Socialist ticket, convicted
here Thursday for making disloyal
utterances, was today sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years on each of
three courts
The sentences are concurrent. Debs
is to serve his time at Moundsville,
w. Va.
He was allowed bail pending hear
ing of his appeal only upon condition
that he return to his home at Terre
Haute, Ind, and remain there until
his case is finally passed upon.
To newspaper men after the verdict
Debs said:
st is all right. / have no COM
plant to make 1t will come out all
right in Gods good time"
The verdict found him guilty on
three counts. He was found guilty of
attempting to incite INSTRUMENTATION,
disloyalty, etc, in the military and
naval forces; attempting to obstruct
recruiting, and uttering language tend
ing to incite, provoke and encourage
resistance to the United States and
to promote the cause of the enemy.
Counsel for both sides said they
considered Judge Westenhaver's in
struction fair. They were exhaustive
and couched in simple language and
delivered in kindly manner, requir-
ed one and half hours. He made no
comment on the evidence which, pre-
scented by the Government, was adj
mitted by the defendant, but assured
the jury that the Espionage Act was
wholly valid.
The jury was out five hours and a
half. When it was announced that
the jury was ready to report, Mrs
Rose Pastor Stokes, herself under con
viction on similar charge, came inside
the railing for the first time. Pre-
viously, at Debs's request, she had re.
NAMED hidden in the body of the
audience.
She drew her chair beside his, ant
into her hands he slipped his owr
gaunt paw, where it remained while
the clerk was reading the verdict anc
polling the jury.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 49,
Under the rules of the War Depart
ment for executing the new draft law,
special provision. is made for inform
ing the district boards in regard to
farm labor requirements in order that
necessary food production may be
maintained, says statement issued
by the Department of Agriculture.
The statement continues:
In the new draft the district boards
are charged with the duty of putting
into deferred classes those persons
who are more likely to further the
war by remaining in civilian occupa-
tions than by entering the Army. Ac-
cordingly three advisers are to be se-
lected for each district board-one
for agriculture, one for labor, and one
for other occupations. The agricul-
tural adviser will be appointed by the
board upon the recommendation Of the
Secretary of Agriculture. The adj
visers are not members of the board
but may, when invited, attend its
meetings.
