G. Of G. to Consider
Freight Situation

"A very important meeting Of the
Fairmont Chamber Of Commerce is
called for next Monday evening In the
rooms OF the organization in the Fair
mont hotel building at 1880 o'clock.
The question Of the separation Of the
two local freight stations, which have
been working as q JOINT station since
shortly after the start Of the late war,
will be taken up. New conditions
ahout the B. and o. citation caused by
the construction Of the NEW RIVER
bridge makes prompt action on the
matter imperative and 1t Is hoped that
a large representation Of the member
ship Of the commerce body will be
present Monday evening. All members
are invited to attend, which, Of course
includes the members received in the
big drive Just closed. The call for
meeting is made by v.ce president N.
A. Fletcher. Other matters may come
before the meeting Monday evening.

ball" OF course any man who goes
into baseball as a means Of making
a living, /. e., by playing with a league l,
al Baseball clubs, is permanently
barred here and. elsewhere. The ma
iority Of college men who play sum
mer baseball do so as a mere Incl
dent Of other employment anyhow,
OF course men who play independent;
football have never been permitted
to take part in athletics here. This IS
a general practice
hope that | have made our posi-,
ton clear as to summer baseball
and that II you have occasion to
mention the matter hereafter you vii!
NOT accuse US Of violating the rules.
Very cordially yours,
H. A. STANSBURY,
Director.

Sounds Queer,

An advertisement on the front page
of last nights Paper informs US that
we can get a limited amount Of sls-
ar for 20 cents a pound. Perhaps We
ought to be glad to get it at any price,
We haven't any Of US come risi;
down to absolute sweet!essness yet
SO i don't know Just how we'll feel
when we do. But at present It sure
" sounds queer to be told We are priv
ileged TO pay 81 cents II We like.

The Primitive and the civilized.

Last evening the champion jumper
Of the universe, namely Douglas Fair
banks-did some wonderful stunts in
a picture which is visiting the CITY,
The picture II most fascinating N
that Il takes one to Arizona and gives
one glimpse OF real Indians in Their
dances and costumes. The real coun;;
try too is portrayed faithfully and
the wide open spaces stretching end
lessly, filled oany an eye and hear
last night with pleasure.
There were some particularly I'M
prcssive thoughts in the picture which
| appreciated, to the effect that after
ali he primitive and the civilized are
primarily the same. The Indian dan
ces contained the "shimmie" Of to.
day. The rock caves. the homes Of
the Inuians. from q certain prospec-
tive assembled Monte Carlo. The beat
OF the TOM toms and the gyrations OF
the Indians Who swayed and stamped
while they Lept them in action were
much the same as the actions OF
some Of our Jazz orchestra leaders
today who play and sing and dance
ali at the sane time. The picture
was unusually good.

1851 Souls

What LOT of folks! None finer any place on
earth. we are sure Of that, and none more blessed
with pleasant, healthy community in which 10
live.
We read in the papers that many are appar-
emily skeptical about the accuracy Of the gov
eminent census figures. But granting a diner
euce Of a few hundreds. we must realize that
Fairmopt stands with somewhere around eigh-
teen thousand population, and that, IN ITSELF Is
very handsome increase over the last census
figures Of ten years ago.
unquestionably Fairmont is just beginning 10
grow. Many industries already established mere
will be the means Of bringing more Industries
TO the city, and that means more people to i've
among US.
We who have been here in the past and have
watched this awkward. stumbling infant grow
ON m to sturdy, Independent manhood, as testi-
fed by the new figures, will have faith that be-
fore another census day comes around we shall
have reached the twenty-five thousand-yes.
even the thirty-fve thousand population mark
Courtneys sincerely hopes that this orsanz-
tion will be enabled to progress in service efi-
cheney and increase in business volume to keep
mace with the continuing growth Of the commun-
ity to which it has pledged its faith.

Simplicity

y B a.
Simple styles in dress are replacing the az:
IRENE extravaganza that followed the limitations
Of war days. 1t was but natural that woman
kind sought gayest and elaborate modes fora
brief period, but during the last two years many
STYLES have been positively grotesque. such IS
long narrow skirts, SO narrow that they detracted
from either comfortable appearance or comfort
able feeling.
History shows that every period Of extreme,
dressing has been followed by one Of simplicity
as it apears in the present tendency. There IS
little likelihood that aress will remain simple for
any great length Of time. for the love Of orna,
mentation cannot be suppressed. Dress began
as an ornament, not as covering for the. body
1t is written that the primitive savage adorned
his body with juices Of berries long before he.
thought Of covering it, and down through the
ages history is replete with evidences Of both
luxurious and grotesque raiment.
The present departure toward more simple
styles is pleasing, for it creates determination
for interesting contrast when wotnens apparel
again becomes elaborate and ornamental.

More About
Advertising

II an article is worth making 1t Is worth SELL
inc and if it is worth selling it is worth adver-
tslng Moreover, II it is worth selling itshouid De
advertised so its value and usefulness may be-
come generally known.
The merchant no more than does his duty when
he adyertises THAT he sells. BE fails in his duty
when he handles the very things peoplewant and
doesn't tell them so.
The advertisements Of a modern retail estao-
lishment should be like the index to book,
guiding the way to interesting features in the
store Just as in the book index one may choose
the interesting articles to read.
1t is the policy Of courtneys' to advertise as
much as the volume Of business will permit--for
the advertising expenditure is definitely known
Oer cent Of our selling cost the same as in all
modern stores each Advertisement aims to
tell about both the new and the old things our
patrons want.
We urge You in all sincerity to read our 'ad-
rertisements. Many and many time We tell
about the very things you want and which are
not obtainable elsewhere.

Notes About
Things to Wear

Women seem never to tire Of black and Hhita
In summer hats this combination is a great fas-
orite: It will be found in the all-silk models IN
hats Of silk and yarn, in lace hats as well q
many made Of straw. ANY one Of them would
be fashionasly correct
Among the summer skirts Of beautiful dlken
fabrics the preference is still for stripes but
there are some in most interesting plaids and
checks. Novel belts. pockets and layer altar
layer Of pleats are featured attractions which
make the Courtneys' skirts so desirable

All the Shrinking Done.
Before You Wash Them

The materials Of which our exclusive line Of
"shur.Shrunk" white wash skirts are made
would shrink, Of course the same as practically
all cotton materials. Neither yourself nor the
most expert laundress could keep them from
shrinking the very first time IN the Tub ware It
not that. the materials are THOROUGHLY
sHRUNK before being made into the skirts We

1t Is instantly evident that there Is great
advantage in purchasing "shur-shrunk" skirts,
thus doing away with the possibility Of the waist

following the first dip in the tub.
