FOUL PLOT is FoILED.

Dynamiters Planned to Destroy Reser-
voir and Endanger Many Lives.
Ogden, Utah.-Partially successful
attempts to wreck with dynamite. at
an early hour Saturday morning, the
big Solomon Stephens reservoir in the
Burch creek district on the southeast
bench, near Ogden, placed the lives of
thousands of citizens in danger and
imminently threatened a property loss
amounting to millions of dollars. Even
as matters now stand, the plotters sue
ceeded in causing one explosion that
tore great hole in the side Of one OF
the reservoirs, and but for the lodg
ment of a small portion Of earth
against only a small twig would have
started a flood that must have re
suited in heavy loss.

The Fairmont Trust company have
agreed to cooperate with the local
farm bureau in an undertaking which

to get some pure bred Poland-Chi
pigs into this county. The opportunity
to do so has been furnished by the
Trust company and 1t is expected that

a pig.
The method to be used is the end
less chain proposition through the
boys and girls agricultural clubs.
ANY boy or girl in the county between
the ages OF 10 and 1S may have a pig
by signing certain agreements. They
must agree to keep the pig for two
years and to return to the farm bureau
two pigs in return. These two pigs

State Chairman MacCorkle
Asks Marion to Put
State Over.
TANK At MANNIKGTON
Price of Peace" War Film
Lost Between Here
and Morgantown.

I'VE are expecting Marion county
to turn in an oversubscription Of at
least quarter of q Million" declared
State Victory Loan Chairman w. A.
MacCorkle by long distance telephone
to County Chairman Smith Hood this
morning.
Arrangements have been made by
the county organization to receive
subscriptions at every bank in the
county and through tn echairman of
every district. Subscriptions have
been coming in every day and 1t is
believed that there will likely be an
oversubscription such as is desired.
Discussing the necessity of some
counties oversubscribing to provide
for the failure OF some of the interior
counties. State Chairman MacCorkle
says: by reason of economic condi-
tons Of certain sections of the state,
counties may fall down in their allot-
ments for the Victory Loan. There
fore some other counties must be
ready to make up this deficiency. This
hase heretofore been largely done by
the counties of Marion, Cabell, Kan
awha. Wood, Harrison, Monongalia
and Mcdowell.
ut would be ruinous to West Yir-
ginia, economically, financially and
patriotically, II she should fall down.
Such failure would bring incalculable
injury to our every interest. Under
the circumstances appeal to Marion
to give her chairman her vigorous
support and make her oversubscrip-
ton sufficiently large to insure the
Victory Loan in West Virginia."
Mrs. w. H. Conaway. county chair
man of the Woman's committee, has
received the following telegram from
Mrs. George Simpson Poffenbarger.
state chairman for the women: Con
gratulations, men and women of Mar
lon county, In contest Victory Loan.
/ expected it. Mrs. George Simpson
Poffenbarger."
Yesterday the tank was at Man
nington and performed there before
hundreds Of people. One OF the
steepest hills of the city was charged
by the machine and successfully nav
igated.
THE Price of Peace" which vas
to have yesterday been shown at the
Grand theatre here and today at Man
nnfgton, at last minute failde to sohw
up. The film had been used at Nor
gantown the day before and advices
from Charleston declared that the
film had been forwarded from that
place.
AS the campaign continues there is
further evidence that the loan is be-
ing taken by small investors. At the
Fairmont Trust comapny, a represen-
tative bank of the county, there have
been $40 subscriptions taken, the
largest being for but $4,000 and the
remainder for less than $4,000. Fig
ures for the last campaign showed
that 60 per cent Of Of the total bond
issue was for bonds Of $50 denomina-
tion and it is likely that the present
campaign vii be largely put over by
the $50 investors.

The first yiolator OF the sanitary
laws and regulations to be brought
TO justice since the laws were ordered
rigidly enforced was up at special
session of police court held last even
ing and fined two dollars for the Of
fense. The offense for which the man,
Morris Weintrob. was arrested con-
yicted and fined was burning some
rubbish and trash In the rear OF the
Carrico hotel, causing damage to a
lot which had been previously cleaned
UP by the owner at an expense Of If
teen dollars and also endangering
propery in that vicinity. Weintrob
was tried before City Attorney Albert

THE CALL OF THE CHURCH.
To the Laymen.

WHY A CHRISTIAN SHOULD
ATTEND PRAYER MEETING:
Because the greatest and best
OF all his friends have appointed 1t
as place where he may have an
interview with Him.
because he can not think OF
better place-a place of greater
honor. profit and safety for the
time being.
Because his absence will be
noticed with sadness by the breth.
rem and may greatly dishearten
them.
because his unnecessary alb.
sence will comfort Satan in the
prospect Of success in his next as.
sault upon him.
Because impenitent sinners
and backsliders will comfort them
selves over his neglect, and follow
his bad example.
6-Because his faithful attend.
ance is one OF the links in that
chain of influences which he needs
to bind him fast and firm to his
divine Lord.
Therefore, he should go to prayer
meeting. No matter who fails, II
must not. It shall not be /.

NEW SHOE STORE
OPENED TODAY
Present Moving Marks the
Fourth Expansion for
Shurtleff & Welton.

Fourteen years ago in a small room
in the city the firm OF Shurtleff and
Welton established shore store. To-
day the final touches are being added
to their new store, the finest in the
state and occupying 4,536 square feet
Of space in the Fleming building.
Shoes are now on sale in both the OLD
and the new stores.
BY close application to their bust
ness and their policy of Shoes That
Satisfy" the firm ,of Shurtleff and
Welton has grown at such rate that
four times since the partnership was
first formed. it has been necessary for
them to enlarge or move their store.
In 1905 Shurtleff and Welton's store
occupied but $50 square feet of floor
space. In 1907 the business had grown
so that 1t was necessary to secure addi-
tional space and 720 square feet was
secured. The growth continued and
In 1911 they secured LILO feet of space
and in 1917, 2,020 feet of space and
still this was too small to properly
serve their increasing patronage.
The room to which the firm Is NOV.
ing is next door to their old location.
The action of Shurtleff and Welton
indicates the faith of the firm In the fu.
ture of Fairmont. They believe that
this section is entitled to as good q
shoe establishment as is to be found in
West Virginia and designed their new
store with that idea in mind.
Their new room has been beautiful.
" decorated and fitted up with the fin.
est and most modern furniture. Spa
ciousness and good taste are the i'm
pressions one receives in stepping
through the door
The firm of Shurtleff and Welton
has always been believer in public
