CONTRACTS SIGNED FOR
TWO HOSTESS HOUSES

Contracts have just been signed for
hostess houses at Quantico and Camp
Humphreys, and work will begin as
soon as possible. In both camps there
is a big need. Camp Humphreys has
never had a hostess house and Guam
tico has outgrown the one room which
is being used for the purpose at the
present time.
Quantico is practically an en-
-barkation camp for the marines, and
relatives are pouring back and forth
to the camp in huge numbers to bid
farewell to sons, brothers, husbands,
fathers, sweethearts, and friends just
before their departure for overseas
service.
Mrs. Edward N. Townsend, chair
man of the hostess house committee
OF the war work council, announced
in New York on Tuesday that there
are thirTy-seven houses in the
process OF construction, and requests
have been received for eighteen more
for which the contracts have not yet
been let.

County Farm Bureau Notes

The natural advantages in regards
to market facilities and climatic CON
ditions have long made Berkeley and
Jefferson counties desirable sections
in which to carry on dairying. As
anything planted seems to grow, Civ
en- a fair season, and the proper pre-
hminary attention, no difficulty is ex-
perienced in raising crops with
which to feed dairy cows, either on
pasture or in the stable AS a conse-
quence of these natural advantages,
the dairy industry in Berkeley county
has been growing rapidly. Whereas,
there were but a few herds ten years
ago, there are three or four times as
many now, and one can see silos most
anywhere one cares to look.
With the idea of encouraging the
production of necessaries, milk and
butter, Mr.. III. w Cave, Dairy Spe-
ciaHst of the College of Agriculture,
Morgantown, W. Va. is spending
few days in the county Mr.. Cave will
visit a number of the dairy herds as
we'll as farms in the county, advising
silo construction this fall. He will
cooperate with the Berkeley County
Farm Bureau in carrying on silo-
campaign for the present sea
son. 1T is hoped that at least ten, if
not more, silos either of the tile, wood

LOGICAL REASONS
Why Hon A. Hughes Should BE Nominated Elected
to the United States SenaeBy Reason of His Ability and
Broad Experience He Is Best Qualified for the Honor

Ability and experience will be
needed by the various men elected
TO both branches of congress this
year, in fact, the very future of
America is dependent, not only up
on the election of both branches of
a war congress, that will enact nee
essary laws, but upon the presence
in the national legislature of men of
vision, ability and broad experience,
who are The best qualified of our
citizenship to correctly solve the
great internal and international
questions which viii come before the
next congress.
Hon. James A. Hughes, candidate
for the nomination for United States
senator, in the primary election to
be held August 6, possesses both the
ability and experience and is making
his appeal to the Republican voters
of the state and is backed by a rec
ord of IA years in congress and this
record was one of distinguished SER
vice and one of which any man
should feel justly proud. He accom-
plished many things, not only of in
terest to his constituents, but the
state and the nation as we'll and his
familiarity with legislation and the
working of government machinery
would prove distinct asset to him
and to the state, in case he should be
nominated and elected. The Repub-
Ecan voters of West Virginia are IA
minar with the platform enunciated
by Mr. Hughes and they know that
ne has made a careful study of the
needs and conditions of the country
and has pledged himself to pursue a
patriotic business-like course which
should commend him to the thinking
element of the party
The West Virginia Commoner be-
longs to the yeomanry of this state.
He is not a military man, neither is
ne a bank president and he is pre-
senting his claims TO the plain peo-
pc, the masses, the men who consti-

Movie Taxes Uncertain.
With regard to motion picture taxes,
the Treasury Department suggested
the adjustment of the present film
tax and doubling the rate of admission
tax. "A 5 per cent tax on the rental
received by The movie producers was
also proposed
Alcoholic beverage taxes would be
doubled. W'hiskey, now taxed 1920 a
gallon, would be taxed $640 gallon.
All tobacco and cigarette taxes would
be doubled. A license tax on automo-
bfles, graduated according to horse
power, would be levied

tute The rank and file of West Vir-
gnia citizenship and is willing to
leave the verdict in their hands,
knowing that it will be a just one
He knows the needs of the class
above mentioned and has pledged
answering loyalty to them and their
interests.
There is another very potent rea-
son why the West Virginia Commo-
ner should be nominated and elected
to the United States senate. He
halls from the southern portion of
the state which has never been hon
ored with representation in the up
per branch of congress. This state
has never had a Republican senator
outside the cities of Wheeling,
Clarksburg and Elkins and many
leading Republicans of the state re-
cognize the fairness of the claim and
in consequence will support Mr..
Hughes.
West Virginia now has more than
10000 soldiers in the trenches in
France and there is hardly a day
but what we see that some of our
boys have made the supreme sacri-
flee and have given up their lives
in the fight for Liberty and Demo
cracy, in order that the German
beast may be crushed and the world
made a safe place to live in. The
casually hist will continue to grow
and thousands of our brave, loyal
boys may have to lay down their
lives ON the blood-soaked fields of
France and it is of vital importance
to have men in congress who will
look after the interests of these
fighting men and their families
MIR Hughes is pledged to such a
program and during the IA years that
he represented the old Fifth district
in congress, he secured more PEN
sions for old soldiers than any other
man in the lower house. This state
ment is backed by the records.-Po-

will keep perfectly until a time when
more sugar is available or until a

way are excellent for pie-flling and

In canning fruit without sugar, can

over it. Pack the product carefully in
hot glass jars or tin cans until full
