ed On 70 tli 6 nut and Fegett
counter which contained Q bit cf eF-s
erything estat4 canned and other
wise. Canned beets, pickles, cherries
beans, blackberries, ounce, lemon GU
cumbers, stuffed peppers, rad and
green, and huge, tall celery at least
three feet high, were arranged neatly
on white tissue paper. Now, here,
we've got some of the finest pota-
toes" said Miss King, (which were
planted July 18th and dug September
18th. The potatoes were reported to
be new kind. grown by Fred Mon
roe. They were about twice the size
of the ordinary potato. Some fine look
ing butter, cakes and other baked
articles came next
The relic counter attracted the
most merely because 1t was one OF
the oldest displays Of old things seen
in long time. There was an Indian
blanket and handloom blanket and
cover 100 years old woven by Joab
Fleming, uncle OF ]. w. Everhart.
Two Bibles each over 100 years old
were precious relics indeed, one OF
them sewed carefully to keep the
pages in. Dorothy Elkins displayed
a tiny dolls dress which she mado
when only six years old. A child'S
dress made by hand which was 81
years old carried the following tag:
worn by Bob Satterfield." It was
difficult to imagine Mr.. Satterfield IN
this dress at the present time. The
bit OF dress had short sleeves and
was made Of white cotton material,
beautifully stitched by hand.
A stiletto, the property Of G. D.
Conway looked murderous enough,
especially after it was learned that
it had killed three men. 1t had a
deer's foot handle and was found in a
trunk belonging to Sam Palma, for
eigner. A knife Of like nature with
oGd key ring attached with cork screw
and blade inside, started the chills up
and down the small boys backs.
An old sausage mill at least 70
years old occupied prominent place.
A fax hackle came next-used long
ago to take the splinters out OF flax.
Candle molds looked queer indeed.
Wool cards had to be explained to
the children and even some of the
grown ups. Two old guns, very long
and heavy, got the close attention OF
the men and boys. One of the guns
was reported to have belonged to n
dying soldier in the Civil War who
asked John w. Everhart to stay with
him until he died The gun was a
gift to Mr.. Everhart for the kindness
SHOWN by him. The other gun was
said to have killed both bears and
Indians. &,
After the relics had been disposed
of, the poultry was examined with
special interest. Their owners had
spent time washing and dolling up the
white wyandotts, barred rocks and
leghorns. They stood about in clean
pens ready for prizes. Fred Monroe
had a pen of three wyandotts only
four months old. Mrs. Price had a
pen of three leghorns. Somebody
brought a duck who talkede lot.
There were six Belgian hares and one
large white rabbit. Wanda Tucker
and Hugh McDougal each had pen
of barred rocks. Annie Gaskins
brought barred rocks. Mary May Gas
llins brought some wyandotts. After
viewing the various exhibits which
ended with the poultry, ice cream was
sold both by the dish and the cone
and the fair came to successful
close after an evenings entertain
ment.

Where is private soldier Roy j.
Hartshorn? The efforts Of Congress.
man George NJ. Bowers. the family OF
the missing soldier, and the army
authorities to answer that question
have proved unavailing. In the army
records he is listed as deserter, but
his relatives at Martinsburg know that
he isn't, but believe that he met up
with foul play. They last saw him as
he bought a ticket at his home to re-
turn to his company at Paris Island
camp His brother law, Leonard
6. Scott, accompanied him to the tram
and saw him buy his ticket through 70
Paris Island from Martinsburg' Ihat
was last December. Nothing has been
seen Of nor heard from him by his
family since. Another case of mys-
terious disappearance, happily more
successfully cleared up by Mr.. Bowers
working through the Army depart
ment was that of Bernard c. Martin,
whose home is also in Martinsburg'
Martin did not return with the First
division from France, and letters from
him to his family suddenly ceased. 1t
turns out that he sustained injuries,
was separated from his command, and
was passed along from hospital to hos
nital He landed from France Gwith a
miscellaneous assortment of casuals
as late as October IL, and is now con-
yalesctng at Camp Dix.

LATE WASHINGTON
NEWS GOSSIP

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov S-Dr.
Henry A. Garfield, Fuel Administra-
tor, gave a flat refusal to the person
ally presented petition Of the smoke
less coal operators from the Pocahon-
tas field to increase the arbitrary war
rate of $2,S5 the basic ton, which rate
was restored by order of the Presi-
dent October Both. His refusal does
not irrevOCably end the case. The
operators may submit cost sheets and
further arguments in printed brief
form.
The argument these operators is
that, after the signing of the armis-
and the suspension of wartime coal
rates they voluntarily gave their
miners an increase wage of 80 per
cent the ton, hardly expecting the old
$2.35 war rate to be restored. HoweV-
er, it has been done, due to the coal
strike, and now they claim that at
that rate some of them are operating
at a loss while others find the mar
gin of profit due to efficient overhead
a narrow one.
These operators have been in meet
ing here for several days. Besides
the matter Of price, they went on rec
ord, by vote that lacked but one
Of being unanimous, as opposed to
the proposed extension of the Lever
fuel and food regulation law cover
ing six months after the passage by
the Senate Of the peace treaty. In
other words, they are opposed to the
the further government rate making
after the treaty is passed and the
war with Germany formally ended.
Report has it that the vote favc11ng
the extension was cast by an opera
tor who formerly served in the lower
house Of Congress, and who voted to
enact the wartime legislation.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 1o-A courier
racing into Juarez last night from

Juarez with the news that forces of
General Felipe Angeles were concen-
trating around Samalyuca, small
town % miles from Juarez, caused a
heavy exodus of Mexicans and other

For five hours every street car from

Mexican officials denied this.
Guadalupe was occupied last night by

OPERATORS OF
P0STALC0. MAY
NOT Be CALLED
Konenka1np Declares Only
Eleventh Hour Action
Can Prevent Strike.

Chicago, June 1o.-Onfy eleventh
hour concessions by operating COM
panies can prevent the strike tomor-
row of some 10000 telegraph and
telephone operators. S. j. Konenkamp,
international president of the Com
mercial Telegraphers Union of Amer
lea. said today after receipt Of addi-
tional reports from locals in various
sections of the country.
Union officials said that officials Of
the Postal Telegraph and Gable COM
pany might sign the new agreement
thus keeping employees of that COM
pany out of the strike. This hope was
based on a message from the west to
the effect that the Federal Telegraph
company, operating land and wireless
lines on the Pacific coast, had met a
union committee and offered to sign
the new agreement.
Local chapters in many cities have
wired President Mackay of the Postal
company urging him to sign the new
agreement before the strike" said
President Konenkamp. Mr.. Mackay
has always been very fair to US and
we have hopes he will continue to be.
1t is not at all unlikely that through
his efforts we may not have to call
out the the Postal Telegraphers."

GENERAL STRIKE r.,
IN MADISON HAS
BEEN AVERTED

Madison, Wis. June 1o.-A general
strike for Madison was temporarily
averted last night when the strike
committee voted unAmmously not to
call a strike until after the Dane
county homecoming celebration in
ors and marines, Thursday.
That the city, however. is in imne-
date danger of sympathetic action.
is brought out by the fact that dele
gates at the meeting last night gave
the macfinists their option between
a $4,000 strike benefit fund to be
raised within two weeks or q general
strike.
The geenral strike was favored by
the machinists. BARRIERS. voting to
join general strikelast night.
brought the total to fifteen unions
which have decided to support the
sympathetic action.
