FARMERS MEETING POSTPONED

That Farmers Week, the big state
meeting annually attended by more
than thousand farmers, farm women,
farm boys and girls from all parts of
West Virginia has been indefinitely
postponed was announced in Morgan
town on Monday by the officials at
West Virginia University.
Reports coming from all parts of the
State indicate such widespread dis
tribution of the ssfiu" that the author
tiles at the University after comforting
with health officers and rural leaders
in different sections of the State have
concluded that it is decidedly inadvis-
able to have this big gathering of men
women, boys, and girls on the date
originally announced.
While plans We're practically COM
pleted and instructors secured for the
best and most attractive week of its
kind in the history of the institution,
those having the matter in charge be-
lieve nevertheless that the University
itself should assume an active leader
ship in safeguarding the health of the
States people.

Three young men stole a Hudson
touring car owned by Mr.. John B.
Brazier from his garage on the night
of December Is, and were in the act
of getting away with it when one of
Mr.. Brazier's neighbors came on the
scene to interrupt the work. The
lock on the garage door was smashed
to allow them to get inside. They
started up the machine and backed it
out in the alley when the neighbor
came along. Two of the thieves who
had not gotten in the car at the time
made a hasty retreat. The third man
was already in the car, but leaped
out and ran away when the neighbor
began to question him about the
ownership of the machine. No trace
of the men has been found since,
though search for them was made
in the vicinity of Charles Town.
