r. D. Shepherd to be Here Friday.

The people of this county will be
given an opportunity Friday OF this
week to witness the screen debut OF
Jefferson county's first and only screen
actor, at which time R. D. Shepherd,
whose stage name is R. D. Mclean,
will appear at the Shepherdstown
Opera House in his initial screen effort,
"The Best Man"
Shepherdstown is going to turn out
enmasse to see this picture and the
management of the Opera House is
receiving requests for information
from alb parts of the county from those
who are. acquainted with this pleasing
actor. Our people are taking par
ticular interest in this offering, as they
look upon Mr.. Shepherd as favorite
son, who made quite reputation for
himself on the legitimate stage in
Shakesperien roles. His first screen
effort, which is with an excellent COM
pany OF players, is in a story that is
sure to please any audience. The
story, according to the words Of one
of New York's best photoplay review
ers is good as either love or detective
story" which shows that Mr.. Shepherd
intends to qualify for present day
themes.
Hanford C. Judson, screen author
ity, says of this production: "The new
Hampton attraction, "The Best Man."
is sure of a wide popularity. Perhaps
il is a detective story by first inten-
ton, but it has as pretty a romance as
one could wish to see and is above the
average in attractiveness and interest.
Pretty scenes, freshness OF incident
and situation, excellent acting and
smoothly sustained suspense are the
things first noticed by a reviewer. II
is a sure bet for any audience and has
no qualifications. The director has
made an almost perfectly natural flow
OF action. The picture is above the
average in every way"
This gives the reader an idea OF
the entertainment value OF the picture
in a manner better than anything else
could do, and when a picture can make
such an impression on any staid New
York critic as has this, il follows that
it is a meritorious attraction In this
production Mr. Shepherd plays the
role Of the secret service chief.

formerly of Shepherdstown, has sold
TO L. Clarke Hoge for the sum OF SILL
500 his valuable orchard property and
home on the Ketoctin Ridge, about
mile and a half west of LeeSburg and
overlooking that town. This is one OF
the finest estates in Loudoun county,
and includes about 800 acres OF land
upon which is a large apple orcnara
now coming into bearing and a COM
mercial dairy. There is a large and
magnificent colonial mansion on the
place. besides other buildings. MI.

enormous price. The place is regard
ed as one of the most desirable farms
in Jefferson county.

Federal Aid For Roads Declined.

AT a meeting of the County Court Of
Jefferson county on Tuesday 1t was
definitely decided not to ask for State
and federal aid in the construction OF
public roads. The matter was fully
discussed, and the conclusion was
reached that our roads could be kept
in more satisfactory condition as
whole il We are free from the obliga-
tons and restrictions which State and
Federal aid entail.
This action of the court seems to be
approved by the people generally,
though there are some who take the
opposite view and think that we ought
TO make the very best of roads, even
if we do not get many OF them. The
requirements of the government are
so rigid. however, that most persons
think that We will be better of with
out this alliance. Not cent OF gov
eminent money can be used for the
purchase OF road machinery, nor for
any road improvement except that
which is permanent" and in strict ac-
cordance with government specifca-
tons. The government will only duplI-
cate the money spent upon permanent
roads built after its plans.
In Berkeley county last year the
county spent S19,22e.50 on Class A
roads, but OF that amount only $1,000
was regarded as permanent improve
ment work. and the State and Federal
aid was allowed only on that basis.
Berkeley county paid about $4,000 for
automobile licenses, and gets back
only $1,000.

Want Assessment Increased.

Joshua B. Taught field agent OF
assessments, representing the State
Tax Commissioner, was in Charles
Town Tuesday in conference with the
Jefferson county board of equalization
and review. Acting on instructions
from Charleston, Mr.. Taught insists
on increasing the real estate of the
county by at least 20 per cent. At
the meeting of the local board in Shep-
herdstown yesterday Mr.. Taught
presented the following written state
ment:
To the Board of Equalization and
Review OF Jefferson County, W. Va
| have this day made a partial ex-
animation of the land book Of your
county and made comparison Of the
ratio of the assessed value of realty
with the selling price of your said es-
tate. and find your assessed values to
be very much under the true value;
and therefore move the board TO make
raise Of the assessed value OF not
less than 20 per cent on all realty.
Much of the realty has sold for several
time the assessed valuation. | make
this motion in behalf Of the State of
West Virginia and the citizens. Of
Jefferson county.
Yours Very Truly,
J. B. HAUGHT.
Field Agent of Assessments.
The board took the matter under ad
visement, but was not able TO agree
upon a decision. II will further con-
slider the question and try to reach a
conclusion.
Acting under the conviction that
Berkeley county real estate assess
ments in the past have been too 10
and especially convinced of this by
reason OF recent sales of real estate
in both city and county, the board o.
equalization and review after a con-
ference with Joshua B. Hought, of the
| State Tax Commissioners Office al
Charleston, on Monday decided to in
crease real estate assessment figures
in Berkeley approximately twenty per
cent. There will be some exceptions,
| some of which will be increased not
so much, some to be increased more
but these will be the exceptions, ii was
said. and not the rule. The decision
came as result of directions from
| Charleston ordering an increase. The
local board did not understand the or.
| der. and asked that a representative Re
sent 10 explain. Mr. Hought went IL
response to that request, and the &C.
cision followed his communications.

ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting Influenza Explains
How Curative Serum Went From
Patient to Patient.

The prevalence of influenza and
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes it imperative to resort to heroic
methods of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted ones only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy
for influenza, writes DR.. Charles r.
Humbert in the Medical Record, to-
gether with the inability to obtain
antipneumococcus serum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
The Endless Chain.-It is a WELL
known fact that persons convalescing
from pneumonia have anti-bOdies In
their blood streams. As soon as the
patients condition permits, therefore,
they are bled as much and as frequent
ly as possible.
Serum is prepared and treated, and
is placed In stock. When another pa
tient comes in with pneumonia, treat
ment Is begun. When convalescence
sets in the above procedure is repeat
ed. 1t Is a case Of one gives serum to
two, two gives serum to three and 30
on, the Procedure becoming endless.

CRUX OF LABOR PROBLEM
Necessity Of Employers and Employees
Alike to Realize Possibility Of
of Danger Ahead.
BY NATHAN A. SMYTH.

assistant Director General, L. 8. En-
ployment Service)
The great danger in the coming four
months is that there won't be enough
Jobs to go around; that unemployment
will come with attendant misery and
social unrest at time when anarchist
lie tendencies are contagious.
The remedy Of building public works
Is not available on a large scale until
spring. The farms will not call ur-
gently for men until frost thaws out.
Building cannot for a season be re-
sumed to any great extent. Chiefly
must we look to our manufacturers to
carry the burden.
But they are hesitant. Taxes are
not yet determined. The cost Of money
is high and credit timid for a while.
To meet each of these deterrent fea-
lures is an immediate national task.
Consideration of patriOtism-which
must not flare out with the end Of the
war-should urge the manufacturer to
get his wheels moving with the utmost
speed. The laborer must realize the
uncertainties which cause the employ
er to hesitate. Each must refrain from
taking advantage of the other.

Consuitatlon, Decide to Abandon
the idea.

Organized labor has abandoned the
idea Of forming national political
party, II was announced by Samuel

ed at the twO-day session of the exec
utiye council. held at New York.

state declarations may enter into the
political field either Independently or
otherwise" said Mr.. Gompers, "the
council decided that II is not within
the province OF the central bodies TO
form or become part Of national la
Dor party" The council was OF the
opinion that the best interests Of labor
would be served by more thorough
organization Of the workers, skilled
and unskilled, In the trade union move
ment.
Mr.. Gompers also announced the per-
sonnet of the delegation which Will
represent American organized labor ct
the international labor conference to
