MARSHALL FOCH DAY
OCTOBER 2s.

Marhall Foch Day is to be observed
in the public schools of West Vir-
ginia Friday, October % according
to plans issued from the De-
paItment of Education by Superin-
tendent of Schools, George M. Ford.
The great French General is to land
in the United States for an official
visit on that day.
The school children in the United
States have been asked to contribute
toward purchasing gold medal to
be presented to Marshall Foch by
President Harding. 1t is to express
gratitude on the part of the cshool
children for the noble work t he
Generalissimo of the Allied army did
in the World War.
In addition to presenting the
medal to General Foch, the school
children are goingr to give two me-
mortal high schools fully equipped
for the use of the children indevas-
tated France.
The pupils in the high schools of
West Virginia are asked to give ten
cents each and the pupils in the
grade schools are asked to give one
cent for this purpose.
Il do not want any person in the
State to feel that this is drive or a
charitable request" said Mr.. Ford,
ct is merely way in which the boys
and girls in our State may show their
appreciation in a small way for the
work of a brave man, possibly the
greatest general in his day."
1t is hoped that an appropriate
program will be arranged in each
school in the state for Marshall Foch
Day.

Milton Shaull and Forrest Watson
from the Middleway neighborhood
were victims of a motor accident on
a counting expedition over in
Maryland few days ago. The two
young men with Misses Hazel and
Jessie Cook, of Sharpsburg, were en-
joying little journey in Mr.. Wat
sons Chevrolet touring car. They
sped out the Hagerstown pike and
were returning home when at the ton
of hill, they met another car on
their side of the road. The choice
of collision with the other car, or a
sudden turn to the right and down a
bank, was presented to them. They
preferred to avoid a collision and
down the bank they rolled, the
Chevrolet turning over several times
in its flight to the bottom of the de-
cline. Arriving at a lodging place,
all the passengers except Mr.. Shaull
were pinned under the machine.
Mr.. Shaull managed to free himself
from the wreck. He then busted
himself releasing his companions.
All of them sutained bruises, while
Mr.. Shaull came out of it with
broken nose and one rib fractured.
The car was not greatly injured.

A GRAVEYARD JOKE.

A short time ago the wife of a
prominent Charles Town official, de-
sireing to take part in King Carni-
val parade following the festivities
of one of their Fall Festivals, sent
her husband and a friend up to Zion
churchyard for Fall leaves for deco
rating costume. So the sister-in-
law thought she would have some
fun, so got sheet and proceeded the
men to the churchyard, entering in a
side gate. 1t was beginning to get
late, so the young lady threw the
sheet over her head and hid behind a
tomb stone: When the men came in
and began gathering the leaves
the young girl began rustleing
among the dry leaves and finally
started to crawl around the tomb
stones. When the men saw this
spook they were so frightened they
ran down the brick walk home. They
told afterwards, that for moment
they felt as if they were rivited to
the spot

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investigat-
ed. Testimony of Charles Town
Citizens.

When a Charles Town citizen
comes to the front, telling his friends
and neighbors of his experience, you
can rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. In
vestigation proves it true. Below is
a statement of Charles Town resi-
dent. No stronger proof of merit
can be had
D. H. Seibert, blacksmith, SIP w.
Congress St., says: 81 have found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be a good
remedy. My kidneys troubled me at
times and often l had severe back
aches and my limbs also ached con-
siderable. The action of my kidneys
was irregular. l used Doan's Kid
ney Pills from Brown and Hooff's
Drug Store and they strengthened
my back and kidneys, also relieving
the aches and pains. Ihave the
greatest confidence in Doan's Kidney
Pills."

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Mr.. Seibert had. Foster-Milburn

BARKER HELD FOR ASSAULT,
CALLILHER FOR MoONsHININC,
MORGAN co. GRAND JURY.

Berkeley Springs, Oct. 17.--John
Barker of Orleans Cross Roads, was
held for the Morgan County grand
jury, meeting IN january, at his pre-
liminary hearing this morning before
Justice John Wesley johnson on a
charge of having criminally assaulted
Mary Galliher 11-year old daughter
of Rudolph Galliher, of Orleans Cross
Roads. No bail was permitted and
Barker was sent back to Jail to await
trial in January.
Galliher, father Of the assaulted
girl and complaining witness in the
case, was arrested this morning here
on charge of manufacturing liquor
near Orleans, was given hearing be-
fore Justice T. j. Coughlan, and was
held under $500 bond for appearance
before the grand jury next January
on the moonshining charge. The
evidence against Galliher was given
by Barker, whose information given
earlier to the officers resulted in a
fruitless search of the Galliher prem
Uses last week by state officials.
Both the girl and her father took
the stand against Barker on the as
sault charge this morning, while Bar
ker did not testify in his own behalf.
There was no excitement at the hear
ing, fair crowd being present, but
no evidence whatsoever Of threats of
violence, and the officers declare they
anticipate no difficulty in holding Bar
ker in Jail here.
Galliher, who was missing when
the case was first called last Friday
and who was the object of a search
at his home, drifted into Berkeley
Springs on Saturday just as Sheriff
Dyche. was ready to start in search of
him again. Galliher explained that
he was at the Hagerstown Fair last
Thursday, when the Sheriff and his
deputies visited the farm. The auth
critics had gone to Orleans Cross
Roads to follow up information fur
nished them by Barker, who charged
that Galliher was the leader of band
of moonshiners, who had been operat
ing for months in the West Virginia
and Maryland mountains.
