very long, but the best speech made
that afternoon.
The coming of Victory slogans and

Y.MC.A. WILL HELP
RETURNED SOLDIERS
Separate Organization Be-
ing Built Up to Do
This.

Herschel D. Wade, who until recent
ly was a second lieutenant in the Pho
neer division, has been appointed dis
trlct secretary for the Y. NJ. c. A. in
the nine counties of which Fairmont
is the head. Mr.. Wade succeeds DR..
w. c. Little, who last week was called
To Washington and informed that he
had been chosen for overseas duty.
Mr. Wade since returning from serv-
ice has been principal OF the public
school at Ida May, and is graduate
Of Fairmont Normal. Fairmont and
Grafton are the two largest cities in
the sixth district, which is Mr.. Wade's
district.
The Y. M. C. A. has decided to ac-
lively enter the employment field and
In this connection census is now
being taken OF all returned service
men in the district, with information as
to whether or not they are employed:
what they are qualified to do and
other information that will be Of val
ue in assisting the "Y'' in securing
them position. 1t will be the en-
deavor OF the Association to find po-
sitions for the returned men in their
own counties.
The first duty confronting Mr..
Wade is the appointment OF county
secretaries in each of the nine coun-
ties. These county secretaries will
:iave nothing to do with the manage
ment Of the city organizations, as in
Fairmont, but will further the work
OF the Association in the county out
side the cities where no secretary
has formerly been available.
The district and county organiza-
tions will also assist the returning
men with their insurance, back pay
and allotment tangles.
Night schools are to be established
in all communities where it is poss-
ible, where vocational training will be
given and where special American
ization class for foreigners desiring
citizenship will be a feature.
All persons who are interested in
this evening class movement, and who
feel that they might be Of any assist
ance, ar. requested to get in touch
with Mr.. Wade. whose headquarters
will be at the F'a'rmont "Y."

Over 100000 Worth Of
Bonds Sold at Saturday
Meeting.

With every report coming IN show.
ing that tho organization ID working
smoothly. rapidly and efficiently, the
Victory Loan was officially started of
In Marion county this morning. At
noon reports of subscriptions were In
complete but it is assured that II the
first days pace. is maintained there is
no question but that the countys quota
Of S1,576, 400 will be reached.
Some doubt had been expressed con-
cerning the attitude of the mining com.
; mnnities toward the drive, but this
was completely dispelled this morning
when 1t was announced that Baxter,
at a meeting yesterday had subscribed
$4,000 worth of bonds. This amount
was increased today to $500. 1t is
now the conviction that the miners, as
they have in the past loans, will be
the backbone Of the present one.
One Of the finest expressions OF the
attitude of the public toward the loan
was made at the meeting Saturday
night, when following the dedication OF
the new temporary headquarters in
front of the court house. 100000 was
subscribed. Attorney Harry Shaw
was the salesman OF the evening and
after the ice was broken 1t was not
many minutes until the amount had
been reached. Mr.. Shaw announced
at the start Of his efforts that he had
pledged his wife to sell 100000
worth of bonds that evening.
The new headquarters was used this

good work since the last report in

A letter has been received from a
woman who was formerly a city
charge here who has moved to a
neighboring town. Miss Margaret Nc
Kinney was instrumental in sending
the family to this town because she
felt that they belonged there, having
come from there here and having rela-

since moving there three Of her six
children have died with the influenza
and her husband with Brights disease.
She says she doesn't know what she

this neighboring town has given her.

GIRL WIFE DIES
OFP|STOLWDUN9
SELF NF[GTEO
Husband Left Mrs. Maud
Mitchell Smith After
Quarrel. !
SHE CAME FROM PEFNA.
Had Been Living at Home
of Relative at Nor
gan's Mine.
SHE CANE FROM PENNA.

Mrs. Maude Mitchell Smith. a Girl
of only Is, shot and fatally wounded
herself last evening about nine
o'clock at Morsan's Mines. She was
brought instantly to the Fairmont
Hospital and DR.. Ramage operated
upon here about an hour later. She
was conscious just before she was
taken to the operating room and ex.
pressed a wish that she might not
die after all. She never recovered
consciousness and death occurred at
1880 last night.
Mrs. Mitchell, the girls mother
arrived from her home in Revere, Pa.
this morning. Her father is dead.
Mrs. Maud Mitchell Smith, whose
home is in Revere, Pa, came to Nor
gan's Mines, below Rivesville, two
months ago. Her mother said this
morning that she had been married
about a year. and that several months
ago her husband left her following a
quarrel. The deserted wife grieved
and brooded over the matter to such
an extent that she finally left her
home, coming to Uniontown where
she worked for a short time. She
then came to live with her cousin,
Frank Mitchell at Morgan's Mines. 1t
is supposed that during one of her
despondent spells. she Committed
suicide.
She shot herself in the abdomen,
holding the revolver close to her
body. 1t was thought just after tho
deed had been done that the young
woman would die from the shock OF
the shot IL not from the wound. The
bullet passed entirely through her
body. No funeral arrangements have
been made as yet.
