RESOLUTIONS OH SYMPATHY.

We, the Convention Bible Class of
the Charles Town Sunday School
wish to extend much love and SYM
pathy to Mrs. A. D. Barr in the loss
of her beloved husband, Mr.. A. D.
Barr, who was a faithful Teacher of
our Bible Glass and was loved by all.
He loved the men and the men loved
him. He was Superintendent of the
Baptist Sunday School for Is years.
In 1917 when he had a call to do a
greater work, he resigned as Super
intendent and organized one of the
first Bible Glasses there ever was in
Charles Town, which became a joy
to his soul. The Class grew in num-
bers and Spiritually and has been a
great help to the Sunday School work
in Charles Twn. He always had a
kind word and loving smile for all
with whom he came in contact.
He will be greatly missed in the COM
munity in which he lived, as he al
ways carried with him a Christian
countenance that brought light to the
darkest path of a sinners life.
E. l.. Wilson, President,
F. L. Bushong, Teacher,

MOTHERS DAY.

All through the year, our thoughts
run wild,
On one thing or another;
Bat on this day, so sweet in May,
Thoughts turn to one-that's
Mother.
Then if she's living, one should wear
A flower of brightest hue;
But if she's passed beyond the bar
Tie white Carnation pure.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.


&'AAs IL ~ AsOftAt VI 062A1iiC 1i1c a
field of alfalfa unlimed, except a
strip about three yards down the
centre of the field. The lime could
be very plainly noted for two rea-
sons. Where the lime was applied
there was less cress and more alfalfa.
Where there was no lime there was
more cress and less alfalfa. In
fact the difference is so marked that
it is very plainly visible. 1t is a
known fact that many weeds flourish
in sour soil. Mr.. Roger is the vet
eran alfalfa grower of the county,
being the first farmer to raise the
crop about Is years ago.
Mari and Clover.
Farmers wishing to see the marked
benefit mari is to clover, will find a
good sample on Mr.. G. B. Rodeffer's
clover field just southeast of the
Lime-Marl plant, due to the north
west wind the fine mari dust from
the plant has been carried over the
railroad track into the field that was
IN wheat last year, 1918, Mr.. Rodef-
fer says that in cutting wheat the
binder cut the tops of the young
clover into the wheat bundles. The
clover growing on the fields this
spring is as good as can be found in
the county.
Hog Cholera Outbreak.
Hog cholera is getting an early
start in the country. There are al
ready three outbreaks very recently.
There has been so much in jefferson
that infection is permanent Far
mers ask if there isn't some other
way to combat the disease without
vaccination. There would be no need
for cholera if every farmer who gets
the disease would vaccinate all hogs
without fever, burn or bury all in
fected animal effectually, clean up
his premises and disinfect with prop
err materials and maintain a strict
quarantine. Not all farmers will do
this so the infection will spread
Vaccination is successful, tho many
have had bad results because of bad
serum. However a better product
is coming on the market now. 1t is
the only certain preventative. We
AllLSuu W Tame up tliio piODlCHi elb Jul
June meetings. We will demon
strate the method of vaccination and
give a report of results obtained in
this and other sections by use of vac
cination. 1t cost about $1.00 to buy
vaccine for a hundred pound shoat,
besides the veterinaries fee. The
large hog growers of the country are
making practice of regularly immun-
ing their hogs.
Farm Bureau Picnic
The Berkeley county Farm Bureau
has invited the Jefferson county
Farm Bureau to a joint annual pie
mic at Mr.. |. D. Vanmetre's grove,
west of Kearneysville. Arrange

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE BEHIND
HERE.

Although Harpers Ferry and Shep-
Aer6stown have subscribed their
allotments in the Victory Loan Drive,
the balance of Jefferson County is
greatly behind. Charles Town,
kabletown and Middleway districts,
out of an allotment of 1924, 900, have
only subscribed $4,000, according
to figures furnished US by Mr.. w. F.
Alexander, Jefferson County Victory
Loan Chairman, yesterday.
This leaves $169, 500 yet to be
subscribed by these three districts
during the last week of the drive if
taey are to go over the top. 1t looks
ike they will have to get move on.

If the people propose to pick candi-

The people have FULLY determined to
revoke the power of attorney, now held
by the local bar, to select candidates
for the district bench.
A most acceptable holiday present
to the Rip-saw would be the addition Of

Too much John johnson has brought
John McSweeney face to face with a
lamage suit in which John johnson, an
humble working man, demands $1,005
Of Cloquet's chief of police for false
arrest.
The Rip-saw's readers will remember
the story in the previous issue which
told how chief Insolvency. came up to
John johnson, whore he was wheeling
mortar on the 'Braafladt-D iesen build
ing in Cloquet and arrested him. He
first took hold of John johnson g arm,
something like, a bulldog taking hold Of
a root, and set. about to take the poor
hod carrier to the hoosgow. When
johnson wanted to know why he was
captured in that sudden and summary
manner. the brave McSweeney grabbed
him by the back Of the neck and made
him walk turkey" all the way to Jail.
After being incarcerated in the Clo-
quet Jail for several hours, John Muir
ply, chief Of police of the city of Du-
nth, came and took John johnson to
the lousy city Jail. Some hours later,
it was found that another John John
son, q carpenter, was the man really
wanted, therefore John johnson, the
bod carrier, was turned loose on a cold
and cherries world.
John johnson believed that his rights
had been infringed upon, therefore he
consulted Charles V. Mccoy, a Sir Gal
ahad Of the law, associated with Thor

at No. $40 Torrey building, Duluth.
After listening to and considering

Last March, the editor Of the Rip
saw received an anonymous, threatening
letter, purporting to come from "The
Knights Of the Tar Bucket" That
letter was enclosed in an envelope of
the Plaza hotel, in Chicago, but was
stamped in Duluth. Inquiry developed
the fact that Supt. Hoke and Doc.
Schaibly registered at that hotel Feb.

work as laborer and thereby lost his
time from his said work for half day
