for a Car Load Of
Meat Next Week.

There are still about 40 cases of
government army canned goods at the
fire department for sale. The table
was not put up today though il sales
warrant 1t will be used tomorrow Only
tomatoes and corn are left, the beans
and peas having all been disposed of.
A carload of canned meats will ar
rive in the city the first of the week
and from inquiries 1t Is expected that
this will go rapidly. The canned goods
remains for sale and anyone wishing
to buy some may apply at the fire de-
partment. The corn sells for 12h
cents a can by the case, "a cans to a
case and the tomatoes sell for 1914
cents a can by the case. Both are good
quality.
1t is thought that owing to the un-
usual Elk festivities in the city today
the sale will run low 80 the fire de-
partment clerks are taking things easy

INDUSTRIES ON
EAST SIDE GETTING
SET FOR WINTER
Four Camden Producers to.
Be Built at Owens
.---.,Factorg.

Industrial work out Hickman run
may is progressing as usual with
some changes and improvements
during the summer months, The
people say they have doubled their
output since June. They are fur
nishing the usual corrugated box to
tho Owens Bottle Company and full
nish very few boxes to other con-
Germs. A part of the bottle factory
is being used by these people as a
put together plant and about IL
girls under the direction of Mrs.
Frances Armstrong are employed by
Mid West people. The girls work in
the bottle factory as 1t saves much
heavy hauling of the cartons finish
ed. A platform built above the rail-
road tracks at the rear of the bottle
plant reaching to the Midwest fac
tory is used to haul the corrugated
box pieces flat. The girls then
finish them at the bottle plant at
the far end of the building near the
shipping department
Yesterday great inconvenience
was felt because the boys were
compelled to carry all drinking
water from the Valve and Tank
Works. The Owens factory have a
very fine system of cooled, filtered
drinking water but for some I'M
known reason the water refused to
run yesterday. Men and boys could
be seen all day carrying pals and
bottles. With the factory running I'M
der extreme heat, especially close
to the bottle machines, cool drink
ing water is a necessity. Engineers
were at work yesterday and it was
expected that the water would be
running all right by evening.
The Owens people say they would
like more girls. Girls at this plant
have proved excellent help on the
lehrs, using three girls to do the
work formerly done by two men, has
been found satisfactory from all
standpoints. More girls are wanted
on the lehrs. There is employment
also for few men out here. I'VE
aren't making serious effort to To-
cate more men for they turn up ev-
cry few days and whenever a good
enc comes along We hire him. We've
got an ad in the paper for girls
though, said one of the managers
yesterday. Work is progressing
slowly on the brick building inside
the bottle factory. This division en-

.PARADING ELKS
MADE A FINE SHOW
Big Initiation at the Opera
House Followed the
Walk Around.

Ten thousand visitors are in Fair
mont today for the big Elks parade,
the GROWING feature of the annual
convention OF the West Virginia Asso-
citation of Elks Lodges, especially as
far as the public is concerned. There
are $500 marchers in the big parade
this afternoon.
After threatening weather for sew
era! hours the sun was brightly shin
ing at 2 o'clock and the indications
were that the parade would cover its
entire route before the weather man
might interfere. Storm clouds were
in the air, however, and the weather
was threatening.
Hon. John K. Tener, of Charlerol,
Pa, former governor of Pennsylvania
and former president of the National
Base Ball League, who is past exalted
ruler of the Elks, reviewed the parade
from the Adams street side of the
court house. He was accomapied by
the officers of the West Virginia
State Association and visiting grand
officers. There was considerable
cheering as the members passed for
mer Governor Tener.
With its decorations Fairmont never
looked prettier and despite the heavy
rain yesterday the decorations contin-
ued to show up very nicely. All Of
the down town section and many res
licences along the parade route were
decorated for the occasion.
Visiting delegations began to arrive
during the morning and the trolley
cars brought many people to the city.
Mayor Conway had traffic policemen
assisting in handling the crowds on
Adams street and avoiding any mis-
haps that might mar the pleasure OF
the occasion. Everything passed off
nicely. Early this afternoon the
crowds began to assemble on Fair
mont avenue and Adams street in
anticipation of the street parade. Bus
mess places and shops were open
throughout the day although activities
were suspended through the parade
hour. Restaurants hotels and lunch
stands did big business and ven
ders of Elk pennants and arm bands
reached the city for the occasion.
Places of amusement were literally
patronized because everybody held out
hearty welcome to the visitors.
No doubt the first sign of the parade
was at 1905 o'clock when the dele
cation from Clarkslburg $50, arrived
in town by mter-urban and made
things hum down Adams street. 1t
numbered 200, although many of it's
members came to town earlier unat-
tached. The delegation was headed
by its own Elk band, which attracted
much attention.
Shortly after 1880 o'clock the Hello
Bills" of the various towns began to
wend their way out Fairmont avenue
o the place of formation. After the
interurban cars came into Fairmont at
2 o'clock the paraders began to get
busy, The Monongahela Valley Trac-
ton company did not operate cars I'M
til after the parade had ended. 1t was
2:15 o'clock when the procession be-
gan to move down Fairmont avenue
from Eighth to Adams to Quincy,
thence to Jackson to the Grand opera

ELOQUENT ADDRESSES

nesday Features.

Praising the patriotic work done by
the Benevolent Protective order OF
Elks during the world war Hon. John
X. Tener, OF Charleroi, Pa, ex-Con-
gresham, Ex-Governor OF Pennsyl-
Yania, former grand exalted ruler OF
the order and chairman of its War
work committee, made the chief ad-
dress at the public meeting last night
in the Grand opera house which was
crowded. He referred to the recep-
ton being rendered General Pershing
by the Elks in New York city. In re-
Spouse General Pershing made an ad-
dress, which Mr.. Tener received by
wire and read to the audience. 1t was
this gathering that delayed Frank l..
Rain, OF Fairberry, Neb., grand exalted
ruler, and Fred c. Robinson, OF Du-
buque, Ia, grand secretary, so that they
were unable to attend the gathering Ill
Fairmont last night.
The formet governor of the Key
stone state referred to the service nag
which contains 10000 stars, the num-
Der of Elks that we're in the United
States army service. OF the number
one tenth were officers, The Elks
were leaders in war work and actiyi-
ties generally and demonstrated the
patf.otism for which the order stands.
When the crisis came the Elks lived
up to their precepts. Their work in
taking care of the dismembered and
wounded soldiers was referred to-
Congressman NJ. Nj. Nicely, who pre-
sided over the meeting, was at his best
and he ELECTED much applause and
laughter at his numerous side re-
marks.
The opening number was an organ
prelude by Mrs. Minor Durham, which
was followed by the invocation by Rev.
Clarence D. Mitchell, of this city. The
audience then sang 1.-THE Star Span
gled Banner" The Elks' quartet rem
dered several numbers in very pleas
ing manner including Marching Men"
"Annle Laurie" and others. W. d. Bar
ringt =, one of the members of the
quartet, made the big hit of the even
ing when he rendered, Hats OH, the
Flag Is Passing By"
A. ]. Kern, city clerk. welcomed the
Elks to Fairmont on behalf of the city
officials. Mr.. Kern's remarks were
breezy, especially his references to the
boundary lines of Fairmont. He out
lined the industrial development Of
Fairmont in we'll chosen words. Mr..
Kern told the Elks that if any were
unfortunate enough to be enmessed
with tangle foot and reached the city
bastile the key would be placed on the
inside and after they had reposed suf-
ficiently they might proceed unmolest-
ed. This humorous reference was well
received.
Hon. William S. Raymond, Judge Of
the Marion county Circuit court, ex-
tended the welcome on behalf of Fair
mont Lodge of Elks In opening he
paid high tribute to the chairman,
Major Nicely, whom he said he had
seen climb the ladder of success from
the time he entered the university at
Morgantown. He trusted that this lad
der might be like the ladder of Jack
of the Bean Stalk without limitations.
Judge Raymond urged the brethren
to "eat, drink and be merry" but also
cautioned them there was some ltmi-
