to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-

To sum up. II may be stated with
confidence that the demand for every
product of the farm will be unprece-
denied. and that the agriculturist will
receive the highest prices on record
for all that he has to sell.
The duty of Canada, therefore. is to
keep up its work of assisting In sup
plying the need. 1t can do so. It has
the land available at low prices; the
market is there; railroad facilities are
good, the climate and the soil produce

Canada offers the opportunity and the
unceasing flow of farmers into the
country indicates the fact that advan-

Trouble in Martinsburg.

Something Of sensation was
created in Martinsburg the past week
by the incident described below, as re-
ported by the Daily World:
"A warrant charging DR.. I. K. Oates
surgeon at the City Hospital and one
of the most prominent physicians in
this section, with assault and battery
preferred by Miss Margaret V. Moler
former student nurse at the hos
pital, was sworn out last night by Pros
ecuting Attorney Allen B. Noll, and
the doctor is TO be put under arrest
today. He will be given a hearing be-
fore Justice J. c. Wolf in the next few
days, the Office of the prosecuting at
torney said today. Miss Moler alleges
that DR.. Oates attacked her twice in
one evening few weeks ago while she
was in training at the hospital, and that
she fought off his attack. Her rel
atives have sinced pushed the prosecu-
ton of the case"
Miss Moler was formerly from Jeffer-
son county. Information here is to
the effect that following trouble be-
tween her and DR.. Oates, he caused
her to be discharged from the hospital
She had told her family of certain oc9
currences, and the warrant was issued
on this information. Dr.. Oates vol
unfairly appeared before the magis-
trate when he learned that the warrant
was out, and was held in $1,000 bond
for his appearance at hearing.

The Harper's Ferry Road Question.

A special term Of the County Court
was held Tuesday of last week with
President Roberts and commissioners
Wysong and Moore present. A dele
CATION Of fully fifty Harper's Ferry
and Bolivar taxpayers appeared in
court with a petition asking that High
street in Harper's Ferry and Washing
ton street in Bolivar be made a part
of the Class A road system OF the
county. The road along the Shenan-
doah river through the two towns, be-
ing an extension of the old Harper's
Ferry and Middleway turnpike, had
been designated as a part of the Class
A roads Of the county. In compliance
with the existing law on the subject.
the court at a previous term had or
dered that Shenandoah street with IFS
southern extension be put in good or
der and then be turned over to the two
municipalities. This proposed i'm
provement was disapproved by the pc
titioning taxpayers, who want what
ever State and federal funds that are
TO be expended on the roads within the
corporate limits TO be expended on the
other streets, namely High and Wash
ington. The court voted to recommend
the desired change in the plans to the
State Highway Commission.
The following resolutions were sign
ed by the mayors, members of the
town councils and leading taxpayers OF
Harper's Ferry and Bolivar, numbering
nearly fifty citizens, and We think the
court has done wisely in complying
with the recommendations
Resolved, that it is the sense Of the
citizens and taxpayers of Harper's
Ferry and Bolivar, in mass meeting
assembled, that the Class A road TO be
built through Harper's Ferry and Boil
var be ordered by the County Court
of Jefferson county TO pass according
to the survey made under the direc-
ton Of County Engineer Jas. K. Hen
bricks May, 1919, and passing over the
main streets of the two towns, known
as High and Washington streets, this
being the only route of value and ser}
vice to the people.
And further be it resolved, that the
thanks of the meeting be extended to
the County Court and the county en-
gineer for their unanimous and favor
able action in recommending the fore
going resolution 10 the State Road
Commission for its approval.
