UNPARALLELED SUCCESS

We are closing up our Decoration
Day business with 1913 contracts COM
pleted, representing over $50 pieces
of memorial work erected in five
states. We attribute this success to
disposing Of some of our former
workmen and employing full force
of up-to-date marble and granite
workers. Our stock is much reduced,
but we have ordered a large stock of
finished monuments of latest designs
which is now coming in. Among our
stock we have great many bar
gains which would pay anyone need
ing memorial work TO investigate.
Mail orders receive prompt attention.

OF the best in the country and for months the Office has
been supported entirely with local funds.
Since the signing of the amsice the most active and
by long odds the most important branch of the Red Gross
has been the Home service This was organized primarily
to take care of the dependents the soldiers left at home and
to preserve home morale. 1t was just getting the swing and
becoming of the really important elements of the Amer
lean efortswhen the struggle came to sudden end
and the problem and the character of the work changed
Instead of taking almost exclusively of the women
folks the Home service also took up the problems of the
soldier HIMSELF and many lad has been helped by loans
and in other practical ways by the local chapter.
Another agency for the aid of the returned soldier the
rehabilitation branch of the Y. NJ c. A This too has
been doing good work here paying special attention to
the recreation audsoca problems of the men as they were
let out of the army This work has been carried on rather
aggressivey. That is to say, the Y M. c. A. has not
waited for the soldier to take his troubles to it. but in many
has gone right out and sought the young men who
needed and did the things that were necessary to make
them easy their minds and on the road to resung their
normal places as useful citizens
AS matter Of fact when the time comes to take an
accounting of these things it probably will be found that
Fairmont and Marion county have been making as good
record as any other places and perhaps little better
than This however does not necessarily mean that
there necessity for the new work under soldier Sec
rotary who understands the psychology of the soldier and
will give his entire time TO seeing that the existing agencies
give him all the aid and comfort he may require 1t the
desire here to that everything possible is done for the
boys who served with the flag And neither money nor
work will be denied as long as the need lasts

AN AMAzlNc PROCEEDING.

HE. Monographs Valley Traction company NAV be
able to make plausible bookkeeping showing in
support of its application for increase in the price for
gas used for Industrial purposes 81 cents per thousand
feet during the winter months but the manner in which the
company going about this boost in its rates is most unjust
to the industrial and business people of community that
has supported the company with funds and good will to
degree that is seldom accorded public service corpora
tons Absolutely no warning given to the public that
increase be asked for, and on top of that the
application bears every evidence of an effort to railroad
the matter through For that reason. if for no other there
should be vigorous opposition the part of the citizens
of Famont to the proposed increase. If the officers of
the Traction company think that is the way they ought
to treat town which has stood by them through thick and
TIM is time to make them realize that they are mistaken
and that business courtesy at esat must be ac-
corded.
The FIRST notice the general public got that the company
contemplated increase in industrial gas rates came this
morning through news dispatch from Charleston chron-
cling the fact that the application had been filed with the
Public Service commission In of the numerous in
rreases gas rates within the past year and half this
news must have been complete well unpleasant
surprise he announcement that effort is to be made
to have the rates made effective September LIST doubt.
less added to The dsmay which the news caused in MANY
establishments where gas is used for manufacturing pur-
poses Fuel IS manufacturing fundamental and such pre-
cptate change its would cause serious business
loss and embarrassment upon the part of consumers
Along with every other business the gas department of
the traction company is having troubles growing out of
mounting costs and unsettled business conditions but that
IS not the slightest why should lose sight of the
fact that its first duty the people of this community
and that whent feels must raise rates it is in duty bound
to consult with and prepare the people here for the i'm
pending change. Unless the M " T. is willing to with
draw the provision that the new rates become effective eight
business days hence and is willing frankly lay its case
before the interested public here at home "a resoute fight
against raise at this time in rates for gas should be
made before the Public Service commission.

Governor sproul. of Pennsylvania yesterday urged
upon the Governors conference sitting at Salt Lake
City the expansion of the national guard as basis of
national defense. That would be all right If the War
department and congress could be brought around to
the belief that the national guard ought made the
permanent second line of defense And If that to be
the policy two things will have to be done-natona
support for state guards will have be on much more
generous scale than has been the case in the past and
the guards will have to be taken of the police bust
ness Fortunately that has already been done in some
of the states, and West Virginia is one of them.

principle holds good will have considerable bearing
upon the relation of the County to bridges and

any kind. If it is not careful may find itself in

MEXIco'c PROTEST.

MExIcos formal pEo,e', yesterday against the pres.
AVA ence upon the soil of that country of American troops
was perfectly natural development of the situation In
order to preserve record for maintaining national ines
rity that was little Mexico could do No action has
been taken by Department of State regarding the Mex
lean communication In Washington it is assumed that
none will be taken Immediately, and there bare posi-
biy that the Mexican protest may be ignored completely
That being the case whole lot depends upon what
President Carranzas next move is to be- If he merely
had the Mexican ambassador at Washington request the
government of the United States to withdraw its troops
for the purpose of keeping the records straight nothing
will happen until the War department is satisfied with the
results of the bandit hunt and the order for Withdrawal
issued In that the whole world will know that every
time Mexican bandits commit depredatons against Amer
leans United States troops will swarm across the border on
punishment bent.
On the other hand caranza may elect to add to the
force Of hi; protest the kind of furtve opposition in
the held which the column that went pursuit of Villa
1916 encountered, and there is now only one possible
outcome of such line of acOn-Me;ican federal troops
will get taste Of the kind of punishment an American
command thoroughly equipped and trained to the minute
can deal out.
