$1,000 bushels Of pears.
This estimate OF the West Virginia
apple crop is only tentative and may
have to be materially revised, because
ii is so early to make any definite
estimate in bushels, the apples are
falling considerably, and many other
things might yet occur 10 inture or

The estimate was for IS per cent OF
4 normal crop which finally turned
out S,47S,0O0 bushels last fall. Now
il is estimated there is So per cent

LEGION CONVENTION

burg During the Lat,
ter Part Of August.

CLARKSBURG, ". Va, June a.
Arrangements have been perfected by
the sale 0IIicers Of me American
Legion, lor the department OF West
Virginia, 10 have its second annual
convention in the City OF farkersburg
on the days OF August 2S, "A, and 20.
These dates were recently selected al
a conference with The OFFICERS OF the
Parkersburg POST and State COM
mander Earl II. Smith and State Ad.
jutant Louis. A. Carr, when recently
paying an official visit 10 ParEers-
burg.
Ine first convention Of the Amer
lean Legion Tor West Virginia, was
held In Charleston in OCTOBER, 1918.
For the first time In this state the
ex.soldiers OF this popular ex.soldier
organization were called together by
Past State Commander Jackson Ar.
mold and Past State Adjutant Charles
Mechanic. There the crude and huge
NUCLEUS formed, after much personal
sacrifice by the last aforesaid gentle.
men, was given Its first impetus and
from that date on the "old Ship OF
State OF the Legion in West VIZ.
gin!a, has grown and grown until now
It's state organization surpasses
many Of the larger states and COM
pares favorably with all.
There are 1O4 Posts Of this oFsanl-
zation in West Virginia now, Tiers
being one or more Posts in each and
every county OF the state. Its official
membership is right at 1900 and IN.
officially perhaps closer to the lO.OOO
mark. From the Wayne Post with a
membership OF II TO the strong 10!
E. Parrish Post, Of Clarksburg. with
a membership Of 1,O26, the strength
Of the various Posts ranges.
In all communities where there e1.
lists a Legion Post, already have the
ex.soldier men and women establish.
ed themselves as community assets OF
great value, eager and ready as a
trained force that It is, for all that Is
good and right. Through It's service
department has hundreds Of cases, al.
termaths Of service in the army and
navy, been successfully closed. By
Its organization will the friendships
and acquaintance formed while
wearing the U. S. uniform, he for.
ever perpetuated and forever will the
memory OF those who failed to re-
turn be reverenced and respected.
Gone in reality though in memory will
the fallen hero forever be kept be-
fore his former "buddies" and pals
in arms"
True, perhaps this great .organiza.
ton has made few mistakes. as
all biz units have and do, nevertheless
In West Virginia, little il any criti.
cism has been encountered. Like all
successful organizations the Legion
Is rot without its enemies who have
tried to strike 1t down under different
pretences, all Of which have failed.
A one cent rate Is expected to be
arranged for all attending this con.
yention and state officers anticipate
an attendance between 1000 and 1,5OL
in Parkersburg this coming August.
All former service men and women
are advised to "put in" for furloush
or leave for Petersburg will surely
be their goal in August.

To Keep Skin Fresh and
Fine These Heated Days

It would be much better for the skin
II little cream, powder or rougue were
used during the heated term. Mixed
with perspiratlon, dust and CRIME, these
things are anything but identifying.
Ordinary mercolized wax will do more
for the complexion, and without giving
an oily. streaked. spotted or pasty APP
pearance. II Ia the ideal application
for the season, as 1t not only keeps the
pores clean. but daily removes particles
OF scarf skin which have been soiled by
dirt or weather, By constantly keep
ing the complexion clear. white. satiny,
1t does more towards perpetuating a
youthful countenance than any of the
arts or artifces commonly employed.
