BILL" Is Coming Home!

"Dad" received a letter from Ser
geant William B. Snyder the first of the
week that he is liable to come home real
soon. In letter dated at Romorantin,
France, January 9th, he conveys the
joyful news that he had been trans
ferred to Air Service Casual Company
No. 8. with instructions to report for
duty at once. This company had or
ders to proceed to Bordeaux on Janu-
airy 29th, and under ordinary condi-
tons it should sail for home within a
couple Of weeks from that date. "Bill"
writes that he had a grand and glorious
feeling and was singing the Doxology
with all the variations it could stand.
How happy the news has made his
home folks-and though the Registers
readers will miss his interesting letters,
we are sure that they will give him
hearty greeting when he gets back.
Although the signing of the armistice
cut him out of commission after he
had been passed and recommended for
a lieutenantcy, he has been promoted to
be Master Electrician in the Air Ser
vice. II all has gone we'll, he ought to
be getting close to the good old u. S.
A. right now. God bring him safe
home again, with all the other boys
whose parents and loved ones are wait
ing so anxiously for them!

An Appeal to the Jefferson County
Farmers.

A call for help has come to the West
Virginia farmers from Serbia. This
appeal comes from the Union OF Coop
erative societies of Serbia to the Feder-
alton of Farm Bureaus in West Virgin
ia. We feel that Jefferson county will
be anxious to do her part with the 9TH
er counties Of the state. 1t is under
stood that West Virginia most nearly
compares with Serbia in soil, climate,
and season than other States, there
fore the request comes to US for seed
corn.
While Belgium has been receiving
the sympathy Of the world, the Serbs
have suffered quite as much. Three
times they refused German peace
which would have removed the enemy
armies from their devastated country.
Now that their country has been re-
leased, the Serb farmers are coming to
a planting season with no seed. A few
bushels of seed corn will never be miss
ed from Jefferson county, but it will
bring new heart to the Serbian farmers
whose means are gone and gamers are
empty.
Since our contribution of seed must
be gathered to one place by March 9Th,
am therefore requesting the presidents
of the various community clubs to be
responsible for farm-to-farm canvass
to be conducted in their various COM
munities. On or any time before March
8, the seed may be delivered to Reed &
Sons Elevator at Charles Town. There
are no restrictions as to variety All
corn should be shelled, sacked in dou-
BILE sacks and sewed for shipping, and
corn that will grow Cash contributions
will be accepted instead of corn to pay
freight charges to port.
The following will have charge OF the
seed solicited in this community, and
should not delay action, as time is
short.
C. w. Blue, Kearneysville.
H. c. Marshall, Shepherdstown.

liver all seed and make reporeetao

MERCHANTS ARE GETTING RICH
 IN MEXICO CITY

Mexico City, Nov 28.-Conditions in the republic which have crowded a million persons in Mexico City, or more than 300,000 above its normal population, have greatly Increased the number of itinerant merchants who set up shop where their whim wills. It is impossible to find a street in the city where some vendor has not set up a stall. A person desiring to outfit a house can buy almost everything needed without placing foot within a regular shop. Let a prospective buy CT merely hint that he is in the mar ket for something and he is immedi- ately besieged by a crowd of ener- getic salesmen who dilate in machine gun Spanish on the worth of their wares.
 Sunday is the busiest day for these merchants. They foregather princi- pally in the plazas, spread their goods about them and patiently wait for customers. Their numbers are aug mented by men and women, boys and girls, all of them selling candies, fruits, shoe strings, pottery, tobacco, drinks, bright-colored ribbons. shoes, hats, dogs, cats, gophers and the dozens of varieties of food of which chili is the most important com ponent. The plazas present an ami mated appearance. Bands are play ing, whistles are blowing, newsboys call their editions, a man with a wheel of chance beseeches the credu- 1ous to try their luck, a boy with a huge basket balanced atop his head offers sweetmeats at five centavos each and following him comes a sell CT of ice cream with his frozen dain- ties tucked away in a container which he juggles perilously on his head but never loses a spoonful, and above all shines a glorious sun which gives no hint of breeding problems of ex- istence.
 It is happy life the native leads on Sunday when with a few centavos bask in the warm sunshine and listen to music furnished by 8 Mexican band, than which there is no better in any land.
 A man from the United States, who, on a recent Sunday morning took ! seat in a plaza, within a few minutes had his shoes shined. his nails mani cured. his breakfast served, lis morn ing newspapers delivered, his mea sure taken for a suit of clothes and was offered an assortment of diamonds and opals at a bargain. He con cluded tht there may be more modern methods of conducting business but there certainly is none more pictures que than that employed by the out door merchant

sOLIVIA STRUCK BY
 MONSTER SILVER BOOM

San Francisco, Cal, Nov 28. - A great revival in the silver mining in dustry is in progress in Bolivia. &C., cording to Alberto Palacioa, Bolivian consul here.
 During the war silver mining was replacedsby tin and tungsten, thous- ands of tons of which were sold by Bolivians to the Allies. The low price of silver during this period caused many of the silver mines to be abandoned, but with the return of a demand for silver bullion and conse- quent high prices, the silver industry is taking on something of it's ancient aspect as the leading industrial ac- tivity of the South American republic, MT. Palacioa states.
 Figures show the export of the precious metal from Bolivia is now about 30 0o0,0 900 pounds year valued at s2,2o0,000. The famous Potosi mine, which has been in continuous operation for almost 400 years and has given up silver valued at bi1- lions of dollars, now is being worked at fullest capacity. according to the consuPs advices.

Fatality Result of Duck Hunting Expedition
 Yesterday

Arrested on charges. of man. daughter following the shooting of Harmao Waters. of BPS Charles street, Joseph Kornmeyer, of 127 Eansen avenue, was arraigned in the Stratrord town court yesterday after noon and held under $1,00O bonds for another hearing on Dec. 8.
 The shooting, which is believed to have been accidental, occurred yes- terday noon while the two men were duck hunting off Point-No-Poi As Kornmeyer, who was crouching in the stern of a small duck boat aimed his gun at @ flock of ducks which were passing ahead of the boat, and pulled the trigger, Waters suddenly stood up and received the full charge of shot in the back of the head. Death was probably Instantaneous.
 The firing of the fatal shot attract ed the attention of Harry Chitenden, of Pembroke street, whose boat the hunters had borrowed, and who was hunting alone in the immediate vii cinity. He roWed to the scene imn1e- diately, arriving there at the same time as did Jack WeIch, of the Pe- quonnock Yacht club, in power boat.
 . Waters body was brought ashore in the motorboat, and was viewed by the coroner at the Pequonnock Yacht club. Permission was given for the remains to be removed to the un- dertaking rooms of Mullins, Scott & Redgate.
 Greater sadness was added to yesterdays shooting by the fact that the families of the men had united for Thanksgiving dinner and were awaiting the return of the hunters to start the feast. Relatives of both

men were prostrated by the news of the fatality.
 Waters was employed at the Coe Stapley Co.'S plant, and had been close friend of Kornmeyer for many years. He came to this city from Danbury a number of years ago, and was a member of a machine gun company of the State Guards. The deceased is survived by mother, father and brother.
 Kornmeyer was released from cus- tody last night, when friends sup piled the necessary bonds of $1,- 900.

ANNE WATERWAY.

Is there a question on Gods round earth more interesting than the fol- lowing, "What attracted Shakespeare to Anne Hatheway?" She was a wo- man ten years his senior. He married her when he was IS. She lived in a thatehed cottage in the hamlet of Shettery (you may see that cottage today.) While his imagination was away among kings and queens and women of rare blossoming whose be- witchment stilled conscience, whose beauty ruled cautious men, whose ninble wit overthrow the Shy1ocks of the Middle Ages. Shakespeare chose Anne Hathaway. She bore him two sons and a daughter. and in his will he left her his best bed.
