Tractor Demonstration IN Berkeley
County.

Arrangements have been made BY the
Berkeley County Farm Bureau to hold
a tractor demonstration at John W.
Stewards orchard Saturday, March p,
from 10 a. m. to p. m. Holding the
affair in an orchard will give the or
chard men as we'll as farmers an OPP
portunity to investigate the merits OF
various makes of tractor for either
general farming or orchard conditions.
Six tractors will take part in the DEM
onstration-the Lacrosse, Moline, In
ternational, Case, Cleveland and Ford
son. The features Of the demonstra-
ton which will receive special attention
will be the blowing of approximately an
acre of ground, using not less than two
l4-inch bottoms, the narrowing OF
plowed ground using a disk, and
amount of fuel consumed in the opera
ton of blowing and narrowing.
This is the first demonstration of this
kind to be held in Berkeley county, and
should be of interest to farmers and
orchardiStS of this section of the coun-
try. 1t is not so much an advertise
ment of tractors as it is to enable farm
ers to see what the tractors can do and
whether he can use one proftably on
his farm.
Farmers and orchardsts from adjoin-
ing counties and States are invited to
sttend this demonstration. For those
who have not provided their own din
ners, stand will be at hand at which
sandwiches, coffee, etc., can be served.
If weather conditions are unsatis
factory or the soil too wet, the demon
stration will be postponed until the fol-
lowing Saturday.
Rules governing the demonstration
and other details are in charge of Coun-
ty Agent Paul H. Teal and Assistant
Agent Victor Chancellor.

BACK HOME.

| visited the old town;
The place called home. sweet home,
The place where in my childhood days
/ loved so we'll to roam.
Every one was so kind to me,
They took me TO dinner and led me 10 tea
But home is not the same to me,
For Mothers face no more / see
! visited the neighboring towns,
And travelled all the country round;
But the dearest spot that had seen
Was my Mothers grave, so fresh and
green.
Oh many a time, when I seemed to them
gay
My thoughts were wandering far away,
To that dear old mother, so kind TO me,
And whose form | did not see.
Yes, they fed me on the best OF food,
Had everything that they could afford;
But with all the good things from another,
would rather had bread and water with
Mother"
Mother, we longed TO have you stay,
But God knew best and took you away,
And since you have gone from this world
to another,
shall try TO be kind to some other mother.

If the people generally understood
how easy it is to get vegetable plants
brought to their homes We might be
swamped with orders.
We are preparing for that by increas-

proven that transplanted plants, es-
pecially tomatoes, yield more and ma

WE hardly think that the country
will gain much by having turned over
Congress to the Republicans. We
frankly admit that the recently de-
funct Congress was guilty of many sins
of omission and commission, but the
new Congress looks rotten before it
begins its first session. With the old
hard-shell reactionaires like Penrose
and Cannon in the saddle, there is little
hope of progressive legislation.

STRIKES are becoming very conf
mon in this country. Labor seems
never to be satisfied-always it is
demanding more pay and less hours for
work. Unreasonable demands will re-
tard rather than hasten fair adjust
ment of the difficulties between employ
er and employee. The manufacturing
goose has been laying golden eggs
very freely the past couple of years,
but still there are some organizations
that seem determined to kill her.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and for years it was
supposed to be incurable. Doctors
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Ca
tarrh is local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is constitutional rem
edy, is taken internally and acts thru

ward is offered for any case that Halls

THE House of Delegates of the West
Virginia Legislature has passed by a
partisan vote a resolution condemning
President Wilson's plans for League
of Nations. This will have a marked
effect upon the arrangements in Paris,
for everybody knows how profound
ly our Legislators have been engaged
in the study Of the great world prob
lens. Indeed, it is likely that no other
subject has received so much attention
from them this session-unless pos
sibly it was the law requiring eggs to
be sold by the pound instead OF by the
dozen

THAT little group of wilful Senator'S
which President Wilson referred to
some time ago has grown little larg-
er, but it doesn't represent any greater
constituency than it did couple o.
years ago. The people of this coun'
try, who have backed up President Will
son in all his dealings with our Allies
and have heartily approved his manage
ment of our foreign affairs, are still
with him. The professional politicians
who for selfish purposes of their own
are trying to obstruct and annoy him
will, eventually find this out.

encouraged to us, and threats are made
that general strike will take place all
over the country if the laws against the

liquors shall be enforced next July.
The poor simpletons who are crying
"no beer, no work." seem not to know
that they are being used as tools by
the brewers and distillers and saloon
keepers. The sensible working people
of this country are not crazy for liquor,
though the whiskey and beer sellers are
trying hard to make it appear so.

IN spite of the fact that there is a
tremendous surplus of coal in the
country, and that the people are REBEL
ing against the outrageously high
prizes which they have been forced to
pay for fuel, the coal producers not
only refuse to reduce prices, but on the
contrary are trying their best to force
them still higher. The enormous
profits that the coal operators received
during the war, instead of satisfying
them served only to increase their Gu
pidity, and they cannot concede re-
duction to fair rates. One insolent
Pennsylvania coal man at a meeting
in New York few days ago, called on
the retailers to stick together and keep
up prices, and he had the assurance to
tell them that the people who are being
so numerically feeced are trying to
"bamboozle" the dealers and producers.
He ought to be lynched.
Just how prices can be brought down
is hard to tell. The government seems
unable to find a remedy, and both the
soft and hard coal men have combina-
tons that are hard to beat. The on
ly suggestion we have TO make is that
the consumers economic in every way
possible and buy no more coal than is
absolutely necessary.

Will Work for Low
 River Barge Rate

St Louis, Mo, Aug. 6,-Outlining his policy, Lewis T. Kavanaugh, new ly appointed manager of the Mis- slssippi- Warrior river section of the railroad administration, announced he would work to win the application for barge freight rate of 20 per cent less than the railroad rate; would ask government appropria- tion for the construction of docks, and would urge that the barge line be extended to St. Paul.
 The application for the barge rate, now before the railroad adminsitra- tion, affects only territory bordering the Mississippi from here to New Orleans, and MT. Kavanaugh ex- plained he would insist that it extend to all barge systems.
 He asserted the docks at East St. Louis were inadequate to handle the shipments that pass through them from Chicago, St. Paul, Milwaukee and other northern cities, and said he would throw his efforts toward hav- ing them enlarged
 He expressed the belief that if the barge line is successful, the govern ment will extend it to all navigable streams in the country.

CUBANS COME TO U. s.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 7.-Stow- aways from the West Indies have been taken from so many vessels docking here recently that pert au- thorities have sought reason for the sudden increase in the number of Cubans, and other West Indians who i'm this manner seek entrance here. Shipmasters say there is always trouble with stowaways at this time of the year, when the West Indian sugar season is over, and there is lit tie work for the laboring classes on the islands, but they have not before encountered stowaways so numerous and so persistent. The captain of one steamer reported he found nine stow 'aways aboard when he cleared one West Indian port. They were sent ashore on the pilot boat, but on leav- ing another West Indian port he found seven aboard. These also were sent ashore but when his ship arrived here he found another aboard.
 Lack of work and unusually high prices prevailing now in Cuba and other West Indian countries are gen erally considered the reason so many laborers stowaway for the United States. Prices of necessaries of life, recent arrivals from Cuba say, are higher there tkan in the United States.

The development of trained adult wage earner at well-controlled and well-administered public expense is advised by Herbert E. Miles, of the United States training service of the department of labor, in the current number of the Nations Business.
 sOur, country spends $7O0,O0O, ,000 annually on general education. It spends $5,000 of public funds on any one who can abstain from wage earn ing for series of years and use this money to become a first-rate profes- sional man, or third-rate, or worse. It rarely spends single dollar to- ward the making of mechanic.
