New Automobile Regulations.

The tremendous increase in auto
mobiles and the constant use OF our
streets for this sort Of travel has made
it necessary TO have stricter regulation
of the traffic, and the town council al
its meeting Tuesday night adopted new
rules for automobiles and motorcycles.
These rules may be found in. our ad-
vertiSing columns this week. Stated
briefly, the following are the provi-
sions of the law which is now in ef-
feet:
The speed limit is twelve miles an
hour; the use of cut-outs is absolute
ly prohibited; cars must show two
white lights in front and a red light
in the rear: cars must be driven on the
right side of the street and pass other
vehicles to the right, except that over
taken vehicles must be passed on the
left side; cars must stop only on the
right-hand side of the street; the
motor must not be left running if the
car is unattended. There are num-
Der of provisions in the above which
have not before been required, and
warning is given especially against the
use of cut-outs and heading the car in
the wrong direction against the curb
line. An officer will be appointed to
see that the regulations are properly
observed.
The council has ordered that four
automatic policemen-or automobile
signs-be placed in the centre of the
four principal squares of the town:
At Main and Duke streets, Main and
King, Main and Princess and Princess
and Washington. We have been fortu-
nate in escaping serious accident here
tofore in this town. BY observing the
new regulations there should now be
but little danger from collision.

Cling TO Your Insurance.

No discharged West Virginia soldier
or sailor who has allowed his govern
.ment insurance to lapse, and has taken
no steps to have it reinStated, will be
able to claim later on that he didn't
have first class advice a-plenty to hold
on to his insurance. Representative
Bowers is the third member of the
State delegation in Congress to send
out a warning. He admonishes the
discharged soldiers to see that their in
surance is paid up. 1t is an invest
ment, he says, that not a one of them
can afford to give up. A soldier in his
district recently died suddenly. He
had allowed his insurance to lapse, and
his family, though they had knowledge
of il, took no steps TO pay up. The
soldier was insured for the maximum
amount, $4,000. The policy had only
lapsed short time before his death.
Representative Bowers advises his
soldier constituents and their families
IL pay no attention to the neighborhood
gossip derogatory to War Risk lnsur-
ance and tells them it is the safest
and cheapest insurance that can be got
ten anywhere in the world, and ex-
clusively for sailors and soldiers.
Policies that have been allowed to
lapse can be renewed if steps are taken
to that end at once, Mr.. Bwers say.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARMNOTES.
MEETINGS ON WHEAT DISEASES.

A special series of meetings are be-
ing planned with reference to the
diseases found in wheat. Stereopticon
slides are being procured from the
Department of Agriculture to illustrate
the life history of these wheat troubles,
and the remedies as found by the
various experiment stations. These
meetings will begin about July 18th
and continue throughout August. At
the same time we are attempting 10
locate seed that is more disease resist
ance than those grown in the county,
so that a few seed plots may he
seeded this fall.
A GOOD FIELD OF WHEAT.
On W. A. Fulk's farm, near Kear-
neysville, Cleveland Griffith has ap-
parently one of the best fields Of
wheat to be found. This is said to be
miracle wheat. Mr.. Griffith thinks it
may be Fulcaster. Anyhow, all
bearded wheat seems to be more de-
pendable than the smooth. Any wheat
that does we'll this year is undoubtedly
a good variety for Jefferson county
and should be sought for seed.
FRUIT GROWERS MEETING.
Jefferson county fruit growers are
requested to meet at the courthouse
in Charles Town on Saturday, July
26, at 2 p. m. Representatives of the

After going "over the top" in six
major offensives with the 10th In
fantry in France during the war with
out being seriously hurt, Lieutenant
Louis Snapp, of Winchester, had his
arm broken and received other in
juries which caused his death when an
automobile, driven by A. w. Myers,
crashed into telephone pole south Of
Winchester few nights ago. The car,
which belonged to Mrs. Joseph Wright,
was completely demolished. Myers
was injured internally, Carol Smith,
Beverly Wright and Fred A. Affleck
were badly cut and bruised, and bull
dog was killed outright. A colored
valet, pitched high in the air by the
impact, landed in the midst of the in
jured and wreckage, but escaped in
jury. The young men had been MOTOR
ing after a dance. Lieutenant Sns
who was p years old, had received the
French croiX de guerre for bravery in
action.

PRESIDENT WILSON arrivedin New

PRESIDENT WILSON arrivedin New
York from France Tuesday afternoon,
and was warmly welcomed by great
throngs of people both in that city and
in Washington, which he reached
Tuesday night He will go before the
Senate today and present the treaty
of peace.
The President has accomplished a
wonderful work in, Europe. AS the
representative of the United States in
the peace negotiations and the con-
sideration of questions of world i'm
portance his influence has been great
er than that of any other man and his
wisdom and justice and broadness
have been undisputed. He has caused
our government to be genuinely re-
spected and has made the nations OF
the earth to give us our rightful place
in the councils Of the great. Never
again will any really important action
in the old world be taken without con-
sidering the United States.
Now that the President has been
away, completed satisfactorily his
work and returned home again, how
puerile seem the objections and criti-
cisms that were made when he first
announced his intention of going to
France and taking personal part in the
deliberations of the Allies. When the
plans for the League Of Nations shall
have been finally ratified, as they must
be, the partisan and cantankerous OBJ
iectors who have opposed him and
tried to defeat the project will appear
equally foolish
