PAYS 5000 AN ACRE.

The Real Estate Agency of w. o..
Norris has just completed the follow
ing sales of property in this county.
Mr.. Thomas C. Wilson has purchas-
ed from DR.. J. J. Pittman his house
on Samuel street, just north OF the
jefferson Mill This property is now
rented by our Farm Demonstration,
Mr.. Hughes. 1t is Mr.. Wilson's pur-
pose to make this his home at the ex-
piration of Mr.. Hughes lease.
Mr.. Walter C. RELY, Vice President
of the jefferson Trust Company has
purchased the farm of 1861 acres of
Mr.. A. o. Davis, lying about mile
south of Charles Town on the Summit
Point road. Mr.. Davis purchased this
farm about IL years ago from Mr. H.
T. Miley, and it is looked upon as one
of the crack farms of the county. Mr..
Rely can be congratulated upon his
purchase. The price paid was 5000
per acre. We understand that Mr..
Davis is contemplating buying larg-
err place and going into farming on a
more extensive scale. We are glad
to know this, as we do not want to
lose him as citizen of this county.

THE PLACE TO BEGIN.

After few months work in JEFF
ferson County, and having talked
to representative farmers and spent
some time on their farms, the County
Agent is convinced that the problem
confronting Jefferson farmers more
and more is the question of pasture,
hay and clover crops. We believe
this SO strongly that we do not hest
tate to predict that the future pros
perity of our farmers hinges on this
factor.
The question that comes up time
and again is how to get stand of
grass. Every good farmer knows that
if he can grow grass he need not
worry about the corn and wheat.
Likewise where the grass dosent grow
and there isn't a good sod to pillow
down, so much the worse for crops
that follow.
To get grass to grow is the prob
lem. Where once clover grew in
abundance, farmers say it now fails
or brings smaller crops. 1t is not so
difficult to get it to sprout as to get
it to stay.
We note that practically all expert
ments from the various stations, de-
signed to build up soils have come to
use the clover or legume crops for
their building blocks. Sometimes
our superiors in extension work ask
County Agents to plan demonstra-
STATIONS with farmers for good
wheat and corn crops. We recog-
nize this can be done to an extent by
possibly an injudicious use of man.
ure on small era, better seed, til
lage and so forth, but we do not see
any permanent benefit to come from
such demonstrations. However, we
feel that the greatest benefit is to
come from paying most attention to
the grass crops.
The question comes back again,
what is to be done for more and bet
ter grass? The first thing is lime in
some form-burned, hydrated, lime
stone or mari. For the County mari
is probably the cheapest and best
source of lime. This is peculiar to
this county. 1t is an asset that is
destined to mean untold benefit once
use judiciously. Then there is the
question of more phosphates. With
these items, all other things being
right, the clover crop can be increas-
ed at once.
. The need of more hay is attested
by more than one empty loft this
spring before grass came.

R. D. SHEPHERD FRIDAY

The people of Jefferson county will
be given an opportunity Friday night
of this week to see Jefferson Countys
first and only photoplay player at
the Shepherdstown Opera House, at
which time r. ID. Shepherd, whose
stage name is R. d. MacLean, will be
presented in his first appearance on
the screen.
Mr.. Shepherd is we'll known to
our people having appeared to coun-
ty audiences at various times in
Shakespearian roles. In his picture
debut, which is with a good COM
pany, Mr.. Shepherd assumes the role
of Secret Service Chief in an in
teresting story which one of the best
New York critics describes as being
good as either love or detective
story"
To give the reader a better idea
as to how this production is viewed
by the staid New York critics we
quote the words of Hanford C. Jud-
son, whose judgment and experience
is recognized.
1.-The new Hampton production,
''The Best Man." is sure of wide
popularity. Perhaps, it is a detec-
tive story by first intention, but it
has as pretty a romance as one
could wish to see and is above the
average in attractiveness and inter
est. Pretty scenes, freshness of in
cident and situation, excellent act
ing and smoothly sustained suspense
are the things first noticed by the
reviewer. 1t is sure bet for any
audience and has no disqualification
The director has made an almost per-
fectly natural flow of action. The
picture is above the average in every
way"

COMMUNICATED

A travelling man passing through
Charles Town last week, said that he
did not strike a dirty town after he
left Baltimore, until he reached
Jefferson County. The towns in
Maryland through which he passed,
were clean-and we'll kept. He won
dered why the Charles Town people
with such a pretty and attractive
town were willing to have it so dirty
1t is Notifying to hear such COM
ments, and more Notifying to rea-
lie that they are just. If everyone
would as required by law clean in
front of their own premises there
would be a great improvement. If
the garbage collection was more
systematic it would be better.-The
conditions are really very bad.

DOES THE FARMER WANT A
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

l. War Makes Labor Scarce
High wages draws labor to public
works and farmers are left to shift
for themselves. Women and child
rem met the present emergency by
working in the fields of the west. The
farmer cannot compete with public
works in wages.
2 War Increase. Farmers Cost
of Living.
Increased costs of everything the
farmer buys quickly overtakes what
he receives for his crops. Under
the license of war money making in
terests grow up between the produc-
er and consumer.
8. War Narrows Farmers Market.
The submarine warfare almost cut
our wheat exports. War causes other
countries to produce what we have to sell
If the League of Nations is a stem
to bring peace, why oppose it?

COUNTY COURT TURNS DOWN
FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS

The Jefferson County Court was in
session at the Court House in Charles
Town today, with the President of the
Court, Nelson R. Roberts and Com
missioners Charles D. Wysong, Chas.
c. Henkle, Charles H. Moore and Lo-
gan B. Shut, present.
After full discussion, it was
decided by the Court
that 1t will not accept State and federal
aid in the construction of Class A
roads. but will use the county money in
road improvement without obligation or
instruction from the outside. This de-
cislon meets with the approval of County
Roads Engineer James X. Hendricks,
who expresses the belief that conditions
will be better if we undertake road i'm.
provement on our own account
1t is estimated that to improve our
roads according to government specifi-
cations will cost in the nsighborhood of
Sl2, 900 mile, and that the maintenance
thereafter will be $500 mile. 1t will
be seen that very limited mileage can
be built in year with the small amount
available, and it is said that if the con-
structlon of Class A roads ia entered up
on there will be little or no money for
the maintenance of the other turnpikes
In the county. Those who have studied
the question most thoroughly declare
that the roads can be better maintained
without State and federal assistance,
for if we go into this partnership we
will have to comply rigidly with the
government specifications, which will
be most costly obligation. 1t is true
that a small amount of very fine road
can be constructed each year, but it
will be at the expense of the county
roads in general, which must of neces.
sity be neglected.
County Engineer Hendricks states
that by an expenditure of from $500 to
81. 900 per mile on our present turn
pixies he can bring them into firstrate
condition and keep them that way.
With about $45, 900 available, he can
take care of at least fifty miles of turn
pixies, keeping them in satisfactory
order and at the same time making
permanent improvements With the
government aid added to this sum, at
most there would probably be no more
than seven or eight miles of Glass A
roads built in year. At this rate it
would take long time to get over the
county.

The first meeting of the Charles
Town District Board of Education I'M
der the new school law which provides
for increased salary for teachers, and
the abolition of district trustees was
held on July 7. President Jno. d.
McGarry, Commissioners Phillips and
Beavers with Secretary c. w. Conrad
were present
Among the subjects that occupied
the Boards attention was the salary
of teachers of the District This
however, required very little discus
sion, the law having fixed the salary
to be paid. Teachers holding number
l certificates will be paid $75 month;
number 2 certificates $50 a month,
and number 8 certificates $45 month.
The new law plays havoc with the
old trustee system. Under the old
law three trustees were appointed for
each district school, one of their du-
ties being to contract with a teacher
to conduct their school. Now only
one is needed and he has no authority
to employ teacher. The law impos-
es on him the task of caring for the
school property, the entire teaching
force being appointed by the Board of
Education.
Pursuant to the new law, trustees
were appointed as follows: DR.. w.
w. Brown, Shenandoah Junction; J.
Ern estWatson, Wiltshire's; N. w.
Myers, Zoar; James Slusher, Ramey's;
NJ. H. Hummer, Mechanicstown; VIM.
NJ. Burns, Riverside; j. 7. Smallwood,
Bardane, and S. H. Penwell, Man
nings. o. L. Watson, of Ransom, was
appointed truant officer for the Dis
trict.
The Board found a shortage of
teachers when they approached the
subject of selecting a force for the
coming year. Appointments for the
Charles Town Graded and High School
were made with one male teacher
needed to complete the faculty of the
latter. Prof. Wright Denny was re-
principal. His assistants
will be Misses Craighill, Campbell, La
Boyteaux, Mrs. V. S. Milbourne, Mrs.
Annie B. Baker, Misses Katie Leslie,
Elizabeth Kercheval, Julia Moore,
Mrs. Nellie o. Dick, Misses Mary T. |
Howell, Parthenia Thomas, Ethel B. |
Moler, Mary Engle, Nellie Turner and
Katherine Baylor. Miss Bette Beller
was reappointed librarian for the
High School.
Last years faculty for the Eagle |
Avenue colored school were reappoint- |
ed, with Prof. Philip Jackson as prin-
,ipal.
The appointment of teachers for
the district schools was left incom-
olete, there not being enough teachers |
70 supply all of them. Two teachers
will be employed at Mechanicstown
where only one has been employed for
many years. Miss Pauline Hall was
'eappointed as principal. Miss Flea
nor Selden will be her assistant. At |
he beginning of the term only one
,eacher will probably be employed at
shenandoah Junction. The appoint |
nent there was given to Miss Mary
Swisher who taught last year. The
,nly other teachers appointed in the
District were Miss Ethel McGarry, in
Ransom, and Miss Meta B. Shirley at
Ramey's.
The attendance at Manning's school
IN the east side of the river has been
unsatisfactory. There is serious
thought of closing it entirely unless
he patrons manifest greater interest,
md will manage to keep their children
n school. No teacher was selected t
or the school. There are vacancies
also at Riverside, Wiltshire's and
loar.
