An Attractive Business Place.

One of the most attractive bust
ness places in Shepherdstown is that
lust about completed on H. L. Snyders
lot on Main street, replacing the old
stone building destroyed in the big
FIRE several years ago. The ouildinf

gree. Ii will be used as show room
for Dodge automobiles and lnterna-

popular machines. The location is
one Of the best business sites IN town

Negotiating For Another Road.

The board Of commissioners OF
Washington county, Nd, is negctiat-
ing for the purchase of the twelve
mile turnpike between Sharpsburg
and Hagerstown. The directors OF
the turnpike company ask $4,000 foi
the property, while The commissioners
have offered $4,000. The owners
seem to be firm in their opinion that
the price offered is entirely too low,
but the commissioners decline TO give
ANYTHING like $4,000. The matter
will be considered again, with the hope
that a satisfactory compromise may
be reached.

Mutual Companies.
The burned mill, which was oper-
ated BY the c. N. Whiting Milling
Company, of which c. N. Whiting was
president and general manager, was
one of the best mills in this section.
II was comparatively new, having been
put in operation just about four years
ago. II had a capacity Of 80 barrels
of -four per day, and was equipped with
the very best milling machinery that
could be installed. II has been sue
cessfully operated from the very bel
| ginning. most of the time running night
and day. Mr. Whiting is frst-class
miller and one Of our best business
men, and under his management the
mill was recognized as among the lead
ing establishments Of the kind in this
| State. There is great regret that such
fine property should be ruined, and
many EXPRESSIONS of sympathy for Mr.
Whiting are manifested. The destruc-
| ton of the mill throws a number OF
persons out Of employment and is a
real loss to our community in many
ways. Mr.. Whiting has not yet made
any plans looking to rebuilding, ou'
everybody hopes that he will take cour,
age and out Of the ashes Of the old
cause an equally satisfactory enterprise
to be established.
As the walls and framework Of ths

timbers afford fuel for the FIRE. Tn
theory is that the fire will smother it

wheat will still be good for feed. |

Value of Advertising

Those who bubble about the
value of advertising in a news
paper would be startled to know
what the largest and most sue
cessful and progressive concerns
of the country pay for space in
some of the leading journals of
the country. Statistics recently
submitted to Congress show the
cost per page in many publica-
tons, few of which we quote
below:
Saturday Evening Post, $1,000.
Golfers Weekly, $1,000.
Literary Digest, 81, 280.
Youths Companion, 81, 600.
Delineator, $500.
Cosmopolitan, ST., 700.
Ladies' Home Journal, $4,000.
Woman's II ONE Companion
$1,000.
1t is also worthy Of note that
the same statistics showed that
the amount of space devoted to
advertising is Increasing year by
year, thereby proving that those
who used it was good and want
ed more. For example, on April
IA, 1913, 81 percent Of the Satur-
day Evening Post was used by
advertisers.
What is good for those who
use space in these publications
should also serve a good purpose
for Mississippi concerns and for
business interests in Winona.

BOOST FOR M'COSH
High school Supporters Want Him To
Coach Football Team.

AOtlCn H OOADAAA AGAAhs
"A sudden boom for Jay McCosh for
coach of Topeka High school athletic
teams developed today after the news
was bruited about that the local highs
were out on a limb without mentor.
It seems that until a short time ago
It was planned that J. Z. r. Barnes
should continue in the service as
coach of the high school athletes. This
was during the time when ii was pur-
posed that Capt. William p. MacLean
assume the duties of physical director
for all of the grade schools of the city.
Now MacLean has accepted the super
intendency of the Boys Industrial
school and ]. z. r. Barnes has been
shifted to the dictatorship of grade
school physical activities. The result
Is the high school football, basketball,
and track teams and gym classes are
in the sea of ambition without a guild
ing oar.
Information of the schools predica-
ment leaked out today and the boom
for McCosh started almost of its own
volition. McCosh was star haf-back
on the Washburn football teams of
19161917. He went to war and came
back. At present he is engaged in
selling athletic goods over the counter,
and his abilities as a coach are going
to waste, 1t is announced that Nc
Cosh's friends will endeavor to bring
his name before the school board at
Its meeting Monday night in the effort
to have him named mentor of the To-
peka high school football and basket
ball teams this fall.
