county Court House in Marinsburg.
1t is definitely known that the com
promise of $40 as arrived at by the
Congress of the United States has
been vetoed by the President. The
farmers of the county feel that there
has been a discrimination somewhere
and that they should be given a hear

their sentiments as an organized
group that the call has been issued
to meet and discuss these mat ers mn

BUILD NEW Church
ON VIRGINIA AVE.
COUNCIL GRANTS PERMISSION
TO PENTECOSTAL WORSHIP
PERS.

AT a special meeting of the City
Council last might representatives of
the Penecostal Church and their at
toney, X. Poole, appeared and ask
ed for permission to erect a new
church on Virginia avenue. Their re-
quest was granted and the council
commenced as soon as they made the
proper application.
Some time ago the church members
asked to move their present building
several feet front on their lot on Vir-
ginia avenue, but as a number of
property owners objected, this was re-
fused This time the claim is made
that the owners intend to erect an en-
tirely new church, and it was this
fact which guided the council in
granting permission.
The matter of renting the Spillman
property, West King street, which was
recently purchased for a new home
for Hose Company No. l, was placed
in the hands of the real estate COM
mittee. The property will be rented
until everything is in readiness to re-
pair the property for the fire COM
pany.
1T was ordered that fifteen feet of
ground to cost $225 be purchased for
Hose Company No for the enlarge
ment of their present headquarters.
This company now has 81 500 in its
treasury which is to be turned over
to The city as part payment ON the
new auto truck.
Pavements were ordered laid on
West King street from Raleigh to
front of each property where there is
not now any pavement but concrete.
Yale Northern Virginia Power Com
peny was notified to lay a pavement
and curb at its property on East
Burke street.
B. Smith, East Eulalfa street, was
ordered to lay pavement and gut
ter.
Fred Glaze, owner of the old rink
property on South Queen street, which
was destroyed by fire, was ordered to
clean up the rubbish there within the
next week, otherwise the city would
clean it up and would have the bill
charged up to him. -

PRESIDENT VETOES
S2.4O WHEAT BILL
SEES IN 1T RESULTANT INCREASE
IN WAGE SCALE THROUGHOUT
COUNTRY.
(By the Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, July 12-President
WILSON today vetoed the annual ag-
ricultural appropriation bill containing
an amendment increasing the price
of wheat to $40 per bushel.
Members of Congress from wheat
growing states will make a fight to
pass the bill over the veto, but indi-
cations are, that the wheat price pro-
vision will be eliminated.
The Presidents message said that in
crease in the price of wheat would
add 81 to the cost of barrel of flour,
and would add $685., O00, 900 to the
price of the 900,000,000 bushel crop of
1918 wheat 1t also would cause a
corresponding increase in the price Of
Sanadian wheat, the message said, and
would add very materially ito the gem
eral high cost of living.
In his message the President said.
81 dissent upon principle because I
believe that such inelastie legislative
price provisions are insusceptible of
being administered in a way that will
be advantageous either TO the produc-
er or to the consumer establishing,
as they do, arbitrary levels, which
are quite independent of the normal
market conditions, and because l be-
lieve that the present method of reg
ulation by conference with all con-
cerned. has resulted in the most sat
isfao.ory manner, considering the
completely and variety of the sub
ject matter dealt with.
=" 1t is evident that the present meth
cd of determining the price to be paid
for wheat has had the most stimulat-
ing effect upon production, the esti-
mated crop of spring wheat for this
year exceeding all high records in a
very remarkable and gratifying way
BY an overwhelming majority OF the
farmers of the United States, the
price enthusiastically fixed has been
regarded as fair and liberal, and OBJ
jections 10 it have come only from
those sections of the country where,
unfortunately, it has in recent years
proved impossible to rely upon climat-
ic conditions To produce a full crop
of wheat, and where, therefore, many
disappointments to the farmer have
proved no be, unavoidable.
No Such Stimulation Needed.
personally, I do not believe that
the farmers of the country depend
upon the stimulation. of price to do
their utmost to serve the nation and
the world at this time of crisis by
exerting themselves to an extraordi-
nary degree to produce the largest
and best crops possible. Their patriot
ic spirit in this matter has been
them playing most admirable and
gratifying part in the full mobilization
of the resources of the country To a
very greatly Increased production of
wheat they have added an increased
production of almost every other Inn
portant grain, so that our gnararies
are likely no overflow. and the anxiety
of the nations arrayed against Ger
many with regard to their food sup
plies has been relieved

COOPERATION NECESSARY
IN ORDER TO WIN THE WAR

The war has now reached a critical
stage. We may as we'll face the fact
that to achieve the high aim so ad-
nirably stated by President Wilson,
the whole American people must or
ganize and act with all their united
force.
We must fight; we must work; we
must save; and we must sacrifice, not
rs individuals, but as united, har-
nonious people, dedicating all we are
and all We have to the cause of liber-
ty.
This is not the first time that the
United States has been called to such
m ffOrt. We have never failed to
meet the issue and we shall not now,
but this war is greater and more evil
and the issue is more vital than any
the human race has ever before fac
ed. Only complete and speedy organ
ization of all our resources and the
cooperation of all our forces will win
this great struggle for human rights.
The average man cannot bear arms
he cannot serve in any specialized ca
pacity, but he can contribute of his
means, and this is, after all, so little
by compassion that no one should fail
to do so.
There are very few whose resources
are not sufficient to enable them to
buy Liberty Bond; few who, by
emitting useless expenditures, cannot
ave the price of a Liberty Bond !;
there is scarcely home where Lib
erty Bond cannot be owned if there
d will and desire to do 80. The
