Why Neglect Shenandoah Junction :?

Char eston, w. Va, Nov. 4-The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad has
agreed to make a number of improve
ments to its station facilities here, fol-
lowing hearing on the complaint of the
Public Service Commission against the
railroad. Charges at the hearing were
preferred by officers and members of
the Charleston Woman's Club.
We hasten to give prominence 10
this item showing laudable activity on
the part of the Public Service Com
mission How can we induce the CON-
mission to demand decent station for
the accommodation IF the travelling
public at Shenandoah Junction, where
hundreds of persons daily must sub
nit themselves to the squalor and dis.
comfort of the wretched hovel used
by the Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk
Western railroads? ? The station at
Charleston is palace compared to this
shanty, and though more people may
pass through the c. & o. depot, they
are entitled to no greater consideration
than our folks. We wish tine commits
sion would take one look at the Iunc-
ton shanty-'twould be enough. An
hours incarceration there would be
tic greatest Of plenty.

Turkeys Are Scarce.

There will be very few turkeys on
tne market in this section for the
coming thanksgiving season, as. prac
tically none have been raised the pas,
summer. We note by the newspapers
OF adjoining counties that the price of
turkeys has started off at forty cents
pound live weight. At such price
as ms, even IL the birds were pIenti-
idi. rev persons could afford to indulge
IN turkey very freely. II seems a long
time since the good old days when
you could buy whole Aock of tur-
Keys at eight cents pound and buyer
and seller alike were happy.

ceJnevfrat Disappointing, to support
lcgs of the Shepherd College boys, was
very interesting and exciting through

The visitors carried several mature
PLAYER nf experience, the fullback, one
ha!it.ck and both ends displaying cos
siderable coYer and skill, but they
seemed to lack experience, thus en-
eourasing the home boys to take things
easier than they should. In the crit
zeal moments there was noticeable
ack OF generalship, at one time threat
ening a present of two points on a
safety for the visitors, and at another
failing 10 make a needed half-foot for
touchdown in four trials.
Early in the second quarter a poorly
executed forward pass was intercepted
by Funk, OF waynesboro, on his htc
five yard line and from that point car
ried the ball the length Of the field
for touchdown and subsequent goat.
Then in the third period Shepherd
College made seven points when Knode
received the ball from serimmage at
midheld and raced over the goal line.
He also kicked goal,
Captain Frye was out Of the game
owing to an injured shoulder, and
Walker replaced jenkins in the back
field. Both Walker and Knode made
brilliant runs on several occasions and
Hiett pulled down the longest forward
pass OF the game. The team showed
increased versatility on attack but dis
plaved little on defense.

BRITONS TO BEGIN PRACTICE
Davis Cup Tennis Team Leave fo
 Pittsburgh Courts

New York, July 26.-The British Isles tennis team in the Davis cup competition left today for Pittsburgh to ;-cquaint themselves with the courts at the Allegheny Country club, Se- wickley, Pa., where on August 4, 5, and 6, they will play the winner onf the Canada-Austrah hsia match.
 Following their arrival yesterday on the Baltic the British players had a short practice on the courts at Forest Hills. They appeared in good form, considering they were just off ship.
 The team declined invitation to play in tournaments or remain at clubs near New York for a few days, believ- ing it was best to go to Pittsburgh to study the courts and get into condi- ton. -'
 ''It is impossible to make any pre- dictions as to the outcome of the match against Australasia at Pittsburgh it now appearing that Australasia is likely to be the British Isles op- ponent' declared Max Woosnam, cap tain of the team. All I can say is that the team is in good condition after it's voyage and that we hope to do our very best against the Australas- ians.
