No Fair This Year.

The officers and directors Of the Nor
CANS Grove fair, after careful consider
alton and consultation with the people
of the community, have decided not to
hold the usual fair this year. This de-
cision will, we believe, be generally ap-
proved. There is great scarcity OF
labor, and a good many farmers seri-
ously objected to the loss OF week at
the season when preparations for wheat
seeding and corn cutting keep all hands
busy, and apple growers are also OF the
opinion that il would interfere with
their necessary work. The directors
believe that il will be impossible, al
most, to secure any attractions worth
while. and there is small likelihood that
the exhibits would amount to anything
Then, too, many persons think that this
is not the year to spend money for non
essential things, and as the fair is al.
WAYS source of considerable expense
to our people individually, il is regard
ed as wise and patriotic 10 economist in
this matter as in other things. or
course, we shall all miss the pleasant
features of the fair and the delightful
family and friendly reunions that are
customary at this time, but we agree
that the directors have acted wisely in
emitting the exhibition this year.
1t is proposed that there shall be one
good big days picnic and reunion at
the time the fair is usually held, which
shall be of a patriotic character and ad-
dressed by persons of national reputa--
ton, and when programme OF especial
interest shall be rendered. We shall
give further particulars of this event
later on.

Matthew Page Andrews Coming.

Thursday, July 25, at o'clock, our
own Matthew Page Andrews will come
to his home town to deliver an address
on "Our Friendship for England" or
some line of thought contained in his
latest book, The Heritage of Freedom.
This book, il will be remembered, has
been highly complimented by Viscount
Bryce and is the outgrowth Of lecture
which was delivered by the author be-
fore a Philadelphia audience a few
months ago and very favorably receiv-
ed there because il called attention to
many generally unrecognized historical
facts which strengthen the feeling OF
kinship to our mother country.
A signal honor was conferred on DR..
Andrews when he was chosen chairman
OF the committee, consisting Of Booth
Harrington, Hamlin Garland, Ellen
Glasgow, Julian Street and others,
which selected the new Americans
Greed. He has since been serving as
chairman of the committee to give pub
licity to the creed, and is now busy pre-
pairing for the United States Govern
ment commentary on the same, which
is TO be translated into forty-seven
languages.
This lecture comes as the last of a
number of special features arranged for
the Shepherd College Summer School,
which feels specially indebted TO our
distinguished historian for the favor.

Automobile Catches Fire.

Last Saturday about noon the fire
alarm bell was rung in such lively
manner that folks quickly assembled
on Princess street and watched thrill
ling fire. in front Of the two garages.
Andrew Luke, of Washington, accom-
panied by his wife and his sister, Mrs.
Leuright, had driven up to the Shep-
herdstown Garage to have his car look
ed over, as it had been giving some
trouble, and while workmeh were eX-
aiming it there was an explosion, and
in a moment the car was in flames. 1t
was quickly run into the middle OF the
street, where the blaze was put out with
fire extingushers before the fire en-
CINE was called into play. Mr.. Luke
was rather severely burned about the
hands and on one leg, and Mrs. Leuright
had her hair singed and was burned
slightly on one hand. The car, which
was a handsome new Buick, was con-
siderably scorched, the top and the up
holstery being damaged a good deal.
The travellers, who were on their way
to Front Royal, Va, were quite bit
excited at the episode, and Mr.. Luke
suffered a good deal of pain from his
burns. Mrs. Bernie Billmyer played
the part of good Samaritan and made
them comfortable at her home, and Ia
ter in the day they were able TO resume
their journey, the~working part OF the
car not having been damaged.

How Garland Alder Died.

The particulars of the death in France
of A. G. Alder, formerly of this place,
have been received by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Alder, of Brunswick.
1t appears that Mr. Alder had just taken
a position with another contractor as
superintendent, his first contract hav-
ing been completed He was taking
an article from one place TO another
two miles distant alone in an automo-
bile. On his return at night he had a
railroad to cross, and not being allow
ed lights on the car he crashed into an
iron gate closed at the crossing. He
was killed instantly, the top of the car
being torn off: His body was taken
to the base hospital, from where he was
buried three days later. His body was
wrapped in an American flag and his
casket was covered with flowers sent
by the men with whom he worked. The
chaplain who officiated was a Mason,
as were also some of the men. He was
buried in the American Heroes Gene
terry, his grave being marked No. a..
His parents will spare no expense to
have his body brought home, but owing
to present conditions they are not hope
full that this can be done.

An Artistic Performance.

The recital given in the college au-
ditorium Tuesday evening by Mrs:
Charlotte Pendleton Goldsborough and
Mrs. Frank Dobbins, as courtesy to
the Shepherd College Summer School,
was one of the most delightful must
cal performances given in our town in
a long time. The Register will not at
tempt comment on the programme.
We can only say that Mrs. Coldsoor-
ouph's rendition of classical numbers
on the piano was exquisite and artistic,
and the selections were of such char
acter and her playing so genuinely hne
that the music could not but be ap-
preciated. Mrs. Dobbins' songs were
most happily selected and charmingly
sung-indeed, we think that she has
never sung any better or with finer eX-
preston than she did Tuesday night
A gathering storm caused a few per-
sons to leave the auditorium, but when
Mrs. Goldsborough proposed emitting
the last numbers there was such strong
protest she was obliged to finish the
programme. 1t was genuine compli-
ment. We are sure that there are few
towns Of the size of ours that could
present more delightful recital than
that given by our two local artists, OF
whom we have right to be very proud.
Mrs. Kuhl, Of Washington, repre-
senting the Junior Red Cross, will
speak in the college auditorium next
Wednesday evening, July oath, at 8.l5
o'clock. Public cordially invited.

Send the BOYS Their Home Paper.

"More home newspapers, is the con-
slant appeal from the American SOL
diers in the camps and hospitals in
Great Britain" says the American Red
Cross report made public in London
last week. The American Red Cross Ii
brary committee in London is now fur
nishing reading matter for $4,000 men
weekly, the report states, but the sup
ply consists largely of books. The
supply of home newspapers is not equal
TO one-tenth offhe demand for them.
Regarding books" says the report,
"the men ask principally for fiction,
and light fiction at that, but the Ameri-
can magazines and newspapers give far
greater satisfaction than do books. The
cry of the men is continually for more
home newspapers"
The Register is regularly sent TO a
considerable number Of our soldier boys
in France, and there can be no question
that they are enjoying the paper as
they do no other news from home. The
paper can be sent TO them anywhere in
Europe at the same rate charged for
subscriptions here, namely, four months
for so cents, six months for rs cents
or a year for Sl.50.

Wedding Bells.

Lieutenant Henry Shepherd, Of Shep-
herdstown, and Miss Elizabeth Temple
Green, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. T. c.
Green, of Charles Town, were married
last Sunday afternoon at half after six
o'clock at the home of the brides pa
rents. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. S. Alfriend, rector of Zion
Episcopal Church, assisted by Rev. ]. W.
Ware, of ShepherdStown. The wedding
was very quiet one, and was witnessed
only by members Of the immediate fam
lilies interested. Lieutenant and Mrs.
Shepherd left for Washington after the
wedding, where they will reside until
the Lieutenant, who is on duty in the
Ordnance Department in that city, is
called to service elsewhere. He has
applied for duty overseas, and is eX-
pecting to be sent TO France by autumn.
We hope this young couple, who have
so many friends in Jefferson county,
may be attended by happiness all the
days of their life.
Mr.. Thomas Franklin Ewers and
Miss Frances Powell, both Of Hamp-
shire county, were married last Thurs
day at the home of the brides parents
by Rev. Mr.. Earle. Miss Bessie Bay
Johnson was maid of honor and Mr..
Arthur Z. Ewers was his brothers best
man. The groom, who is brother OF
Miss Lucille Ewers, was a student at
Shepherd College several yearsago He
recently enlisted in the army, and left
on Saturday for the training school
at Richmond, Va.
Mr.. C. w. Jones, of Fredericksburg,
Va, and Miss F. Virginia Hahn, of Sum-
nit Point, this county, were married last

Makes An Assignment.

The firm Of w. S. Haines g. Company,
plumbers and heaters, which has been
operating in Shepherdstown for the
past year or two, has made a general
assignment for the benefit of its cred
itors. and Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover has
been named as trustee. He is in charge
of the affairs OF the firm and will en-
deavor to find a purchaser for the es-
Enlistment as a whole. W. 5. HaInes,
who came here from Hagerstown a
couple of years ago, and who was tina
manager of the business, left a few
weeks ago without notice, and R. B. M.
Reno, who was associated with him,
concluded to make the assignment.
Mr.. Haines is in Newport News, Va,
where, il is said, he is working for the
government at Camp Eustis, one of the
big army camps in that section.
There's agood opening in Shepherds
town just now for good, reliable
plumbers, for the waterworks system
has just gotten into working order and
almost everybody in town will have to
have work OF this sort done.

The Death Record.

Mr.. Leonard B. Nottingham, brother
in-law Of Rev. ]. w. Ware, OF this place,
died last Sunday at Atlantic City,
where he had been FOR the past year IN
precarious health, most of the time in
hospital. His sister, Mrs. Ware, was
with him when he passed away, having
been called to Atlantic City last Thurs
day by the news of his critical condition:
Mr.. Nottingham was a native OF
Northampton county, Va, and was 81
wears of age. He was gentleman OF
culture and refinement, and had many
friends and relatives who will mourn at
his passing. He is survived by son,
Spencer G. Nottingham, OF Hopewell,
Va, and a daughter, Miss Lenore Not
tingham; two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Ware
and Miss Sallie Nottingham, Of Shep-
herdstown; and two brothers, II. X.
Nottingham, of Eastville, Va, and K.
L. Nottingham, of Buffalo, n. 7. The
body was taken to the old home at
Eastville, for burial.
Mrs. Cornelia D. Ransom, wife OF DR..
lanes M. Ransom, of Charles Town,
died last Friday, aged 90 years. She
was a native of Madison county, Vir-
pinia. Surviving, in addition TO her
husband, is daughter, Mrs. Van b.
Wilson, of Jefferson county; two
brothers, the RI. Rev. DR.. William Ca
bell Brown, Bishop Coadjutor Of the
Diocese of Virginia; Mayo c. Brown, OF
Lynchburg, Va, and a sister, Miss LIZ
zie Brown, of Baltimore.

rison Huff, of Charles Town, died at the

Hard Times For Newspapers.

These are trying times for newspa-
pers and printing Offices. There has
been another considerable advance IN
the price of news printing paper, and
an enormous increase in the cost OF all
sorts of stationery, paper stock, cards,
inks. etc.-indeed of everything that is
used in the printing establishment.
Now comes the government and adds
TO our troubles by increasing postage
rates 80 per cent, and by calling upon
daily newspapers TO curtail their eX-
change lists, forces the weekly news
papers to pay cash for papers which
have from time immemorial come TO
them in exchange. II the Register
should pay for all the dailies it has
been accustomed 10 receive, and most
of which are necessary in order TO get
a clear survey of local and general
news, il would call for the expenditure,
probably, of a hundred dollars. All
sorts Of printing materials are away
up in price, and items that few years
ago were trifling must now be con-
sidered most carefully.
During the past year hundreds OF
country newspapers have been dis
continued, and We predict that a great
many more will be forced out of bust
ness the coming year. In the West
most of the weeklies are increasing
their subscription rates TO two dollars
a year, in order TO meet the constantly
increasing cost of production.
The Registers friends have been
standing by it very Loyalty, and though
there is not much profit in the business,
we hope to keep going in some sort OF
style. But the time has come when
everybody will have to pay for the pa
per and pay promptly. We have just
a few persons on the subscription list
who are slow in settling up, and these
will now have TO come across or be
dropped. We will try to send out bills
within the next few weeks, and We hope
that all of our subscribers will respond

Farmers Must Candle Eggs.

A recest ruling by the United States
Food Administration states that eggs
which are sold to the local dealers by
the producer must be candled before
the sale is made In response TO an
inquiry, letter from the Food Admins
tration headquarters says in part:
"All eggs are TO be candled when
purchased from farmers and not after
they have been purchased. The object
is that by paying only for good eggs
the farmer will be encouraged TO market
his eggs often and will not hold them
until more or less OF them are spoiled"
The produce merchant is compelled
to candle eggs before shipment, and
as often is the case he finds spoiled
eggs among days purchase. Should
he ship spoiled eggs exceeding limit
ed allowance for deterioration while in
transit he is liable TO heavy penalties.
Furthermore, by the purchase OF only
good eggs he is enabled to allow closer
margin when buying because the loss
through buying bad eggs will be very
small.
