enterprise, so that the farmers DO
tato crop may be utilized this fall.
The plant will utikze the entire crop,
using the merchantable sizes for the

mainder of the crop. About fifty
thousand bushels of canning potatoes
are said to be in the county and this
enterprise will save the farmers in

from P. m. to 8 p. m, the courthouse
I was we'll filled when the speaker ar
klvedAabout Sis accompanied by c.
-. Weaver, William Lewis and Atty
Myer Goldberg, who occupied the
rostrum with him, Atty. Goldberg
introduced the speaker after the ap-
plause subsidized, which lasted for
about a minute after the party ar
rived in the courtroom. Atty. Gold
berg said in part:

american citizen, and I believe that
In majority of the members of the
american Legion and ex-service men
deeply resent the campaign of Wilt

Friends and foes, politically speak
ing cheered Mr.. Goldberg, when he
8psed his Introduction and present
90 Mr.: Hardwick ia the audience.
NSMr. Hardwick attacked the League
o. Nations and it's promoters, the
s.cratic administration and every
I le'!se which failed to meet the
~ W'rl1ai OF the ex-senator during
his ong service in public life. The
American Legion, its officers and
members came in for a full share of
criticism.
Mr.. Hardwick defended himself
against the charge of disIoyaIty, al
leging his votes to have been cast
tor the most part in behalf of the
succFsstul prosecution of the war
and at no time was his vote cast
against the support of the army dur
ing the war.
Governor Dorsey's administration
OF state affairs received his vitriolic
attention and on him seemed to be
conferred the main attack, both in be-
half OF Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Smith,
Mr.. Hardwick apparently dividing
@n1s tealty between the two candidates
opposing Mr.. Dorsey for the U. S.
Senatorship
Clifford Walker and John Holder
both were severely raped by the
speaker and his caustic criticisms OF
both, caused several outbreaks of ap-
Rr2val from his large audience.

SIPS For a Quart of Liquor.

Whiskey at SIPS a quart is getting
pretty steep, but that's what a quart
cost Ward Turner. Of Harper's Ferry.
For some time past boozers and boot
leggers have been causing a good deal
of trouble in Harper's Ferry, much to
the annoyance of the respectable resi-
dents OF that place. Recently crowd
of tough characters invaded the town
and shot it up in fine western style.
They beat up Constable White, who at
tempted to uphold the dignity of the
law, and when they left they notified
the authorities that they would return
and make it hot for anyone who inter-
fered with them. The town officers
quietly sent word to the State con-
stabulary force located at Martinsburg.
Several of them went to Harper's Fer
ry last Saturday night, and when the
fun began they took a part in it, They
nabbed Ward Turner, who had paraded
the streets fourishing a quart bottle
of liquor, and hailed him before Justice
Nichols, who fined him S1QO and costs.
This with the original price of the
liquor made it stand Turner about S125
and at that the bottle dropped on the
sidewalk and was busted. Carl Ed
wards, another drunk. was also taken
into custody by the State police for
being disorderly, and was fined $40
and costs.
The State constabulary is on the
job and is doing fine work all over
West Virginia.

Old Friends Return.

Rev. Landon R. Mason and his
daughter, Miss Lucy Mason, of Rich
mond, Va, spent the past week with
their friends in this neighborhood,

Mason and Miss Mason. when a num-
Der of their friends were delighted
10 meet them. Sunday morning Rev
MIR. Mason preached a vigorous sermon
in Trinity Episcopal Church, in which
he expressed himself in no uncertain
way as to the League of Nations. whi,h
he regards as a very practical method
of bringing peace upon earth. Rev.
Mr. Mason was formerly pastor OF
Trinity Church, and though he has
been away from Shepherdstown for
thirty years, our people still chcri n
the greatest affection for him and his
family. Although he is showing SOM
of the effects of his advanced years, in
that his ears are not as keen as they
once were and hs eyes are growing
dim, Mr.. Mason is the same bright an
genial and lovahle gentleman that he
was when he lived in Shepherdsnwn
Miss Mason is leading a most useful
life, and her talents have been de-
voted to service in various lines of pa
triotic endeavor and civic uplift.

NEWS OF THE APPLE CROP.

The apple market shows no improve.
ment. Although picking time is here
buyers are few and far between. and
IT looks as if considerable par, OF
the crop will have to be placed in s,or.
age for at least while. Some few
buyers have been around, but they
seem to be looking for bargains and
make no acceptable offers for fruit
The big buyers say that the reason they
are not bidding is that money is tiph,
and the banks refuse to loan money
for the purchase Of apples to be held
in storage-that this is a speculation
and they can have no part in il. The
real reason for not buying, however
is probably the expectation that grow
ers will get frightened and dump their
Iruit on the market at a low price
The apple men are sitting tight and
there Is general belief that before
long the buyers will get busy.
The government Bureau of Markets
at Washington has sent to Berkeley
county F. G. Robb and Robert Bier
who will remain until the apple
season has closed and inspect apples

points where the apples are received.

fered deterioration in transit and par
