HOOVER RELIEF FUND FALLS SHORT $734 Final Returns Heard by Workers
 at Noon Day Lunch MORE DONATIONS EXPECTED
Some Sources Have Not Been Heard From Including collections from Parochial Schools and Others-3 Contributions of $1,OOO.

When the final returns for the Her bert Hoover Relief fund were read at the noon-day lunch at the Elks' Grill by William Judd, it was learned that the total of the drive has net 9,265.56. This however, does not mean that New Britain will not raise its quota of s30.000 as there are a few more team captains to be heard from and pledges which will fill the desired amount are expe'ted.
 Included in this grand total are sev- eral hundreds of dollars which were raised in this city but did not pass through the hands of the local com mittee in charge. The Polish church raised $400 which was turned over to the bishop. while $432.32 was raised by the Literary Digest. The employees of the Connecticut company gave $120 but sent it to the office in New Hav- en. Likewise the N. Y, N. H. & H. railroad employees raised $125.
 Public Schools Aid
 The public schools reported that $365.64 had been raised and Super intendent Holmes stated that there was still $121.55 to be reported and which MT. Judd said is not included in the total. The Sunshine society
  school $6.25, the Worthy Temple s, Lincoln Street School Parents and Teachers association s30, and the Jehuda Talevi lodge $61. As the re- suit of the five per cent. taken from the sales made at Greens store on Main street Friday of last week S5s.2S was given the fund.
 Berlin Aids Drive
 The town of Berlin turned over HOO to help swell the fund which is considered to be . good amount in as much as the people there were not asked to aid the fund. It was through the good will of some of the promi- nent residents that an entertainment and dance was held :here on Friday evening of last week at which time 370o was raised. St. Peters church gave s163.54, and the Red Cross 3.00o. a@ as E. "ss sss@E *
 Large Contributions
 There were three large contribu- tions made each of a thousand dollars There were also about a dozen be- tween *200 and $500. 4 collection will be taken at St. Mary's church on Sum- day morning and The parochiaI schools are yet to be heard from.
 Rev. William Ross, of the First Baptist church said grace and at the conclusion of the dinner Paul k. Rogers made a few remarks in which he wished to thank the members for their aid and help in this drive. He also added that success was undoubt- edly due to rhe work of Howard Platt who was at the head of the affair. MT. Rogers stated that more contributions were expected and he felt sure that the fund would go over the top when all returns have been made.

Editor The Journal,
Martinsburg, w. Va.

My Dear Sir
/ wish to protest against the mis-
leading headlines used in The Jour
nal OF the LIST inst, which reads as
follows LEGION POST SPLITS ON
STATE SERVICE" A careful read
ing Of the article appearing under
this caption discloses the fact that
a number of citizens of Charleston
met to organize home guard com
pany of some sort. There were prob
ably many ex-service men among
those present but there is no lndica'
ton that they were there as mem
bers of the American Legion. The
article contains the names OF several
men whom l know are not members
of the Legion and who must have
been the leaders of the two factions
of the meeting.
Most persons read only the head
lines of a newspaper and thus are
mislead by headlines such as the one
referred to and much harm is done
to innocent persons and organiza-
tons by this means. I would, there
fore, greatly appreciate any effort
that you would make to correct the
impression that this headline has
created and request that you give
such correction the same conspicu-
Gus place in your paper that the orig
!nal article occupied.

The people Of Northern West Viz
ginia had to go to Winchester, Va,
for their salt in the early days and
a story is told of the experience OF
John Shaver, which is worth pre-
serving. 1t happened in about 1910.
The trip to Winchester and return
REQUIRED several weeks to make as
there was little more than a trail.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was not constructed until more than
wears later. Shaver got a wagon
load of ealt for the use Of his own
family and the neighbors and when
within three miles Of Fairmont on
the return trip his wagon upset in
the river and the salt soen dissoly-
ed in the water. Shaver was forced
to return to Winchester for anoth-
err load. When he reached the dan
ger spot on the second trip all tne
men in that neighborhood were on
hand to see that the wagon remain
ed right side UP.
Romney changed hands flfty-siX
times during the Civil War. There
was no other point which suffered
anything like so many captures eG-
cepting Winchester in Virginia.
Romney historical records show
ffty-six changes and it is said that
there are omissions which might
bring the actual number up as hlgh
as eighty. There was no hard fought
battle at Romney but the troops of
the opposing sides would be taking
the town every little while. At times
the troops on one side would march
peaceably out Of town and a short
time later the troops of the oppoS'
ing side would march peacoably IN
On a few occasions the fighting at
Romney took on importance.
