A curious development of the war
situation appears in the report that
for the first time, as far as is definite
ly known, orders have been placed
from a foreign country for the prod

The war had naturally given great
impetus to the domestic trade in ma
tive manufactures Of cotton goods,

it is stated that several large orders
have been placed from Russia for the

THE STATE FAIR

The West Virginia State fair opens on
the wheeling Island today. For many
years the State Fair has been an inter
es,ips event TO III" people OF northern
West Virginia and portions OF OHIO ana
PENNSYLVANIA. They have learned to
look forward to it as m occasion Tor
tho display Of high class cattle. h'Sh
grade agricultural products and tna
latest and BEST in machinery. With its
interesting exhibits tho fair ms always
offered n highly attractive program OF
a,nusemcnts. The state fair this year,
in spite Of tho war. will offer hne
line Of attractions. and will be we'll
worthy OF very generous support. Inc
people Of this section will find on tho
Fair grounds all .of the old time fea-
lures and many nov ones.
II Is trite saying that the FAIR -
bigger and better than ever before ms
Is because the manage nent Of the FAR
has each year sought TO add more amusc-
nnents and 10 enlarge and strengthen tho
standard features Of interest. Each year
the State fair is made better. In so Tar
rs careful thought and the expenditure
OF money cau make il. This year the
same care and attention have been given
20 i, rs in the past and tho result is an
attraction we'll worthy OF most liberal
patronage

GERMAN INDEMNITIES

Germany kindly lets us know that she

and a half dollars from Russia. Russia
has gone to pieces industrlally and COM
nercialiy. Her factories and railroads
arc broken down and her people are al
most on the verge of starvation. yet
I;crroany expects TO secure from her an
indemnity larger than any other ever col
lccted b. one nation from another N
all history. If Germany could collect
h,,Iion and hais from RUSSIA under
rrnsenr conditions. what would she ex-
meet ~ Get frum the nitei States. II
she were able to win this war"
Fortunately. however. Germany is not
going 70 collect ANY indemnity. either this
wear or next from the United States. and
nrobably she will rot be allowed to COL
lrct much from Russia. t;crmany's ac-
tivi,y in cuIlrctinH indrn1nitirS will be

France. which she has not yet pi!laged
