The above society was organized in
1896 for the care and training of the
orphan and homeless children of all
West Virginia.
Shortly after the organization the
late Hon. H. G. Davis, the great
friend of West Virginia orphans, gave
the Society a home TO rthe unfortun-
ate little ones, which is located in
Charleston, w. Va, supplementing
this generous gift by the yet more
helpful donation of 500 per month
since 1896. To this first building
Mr.. Davis has added twostory build
ing, thus greatly increasing our cap
acity for caring for orphan children.
Into this Home, named Davis Child
Shelter in honor Of it's generous do
nor, we have gathered 1909 homeless
little ones in whose behalf we make
this earnest appeal for Thanksgiving
Offering. We need to accumulate a
surplus fund for winter supplies, and
to carry the Child Rescue Work far
into the new year. We would like to
give an extended account of what the
resuce of these 1909 homeless orphans
means to the State, society and espe-
cially to themselves, but space will
not allow: We appeal to every patri-
otto citizens to send liberal Thanks
giving offering to the undersigned.

FARMER THE WORST SUFFERER

Washington, Nov. 1.-(Special Cor
espondence) Judging from the sur
vey recently made by the Department
of Commerce in connection with the
unemployment conference, the farmer
is about worst sufferer from depress-
ed pieces, and of him the Department
well says the farmer can not resume
his full consuming power and thus
give increased employment to the
other industries until either his prices
inchease or until more of the other
products and sevices come into fair
balance with his commodities, and
Therefore within the reach of his in
come"
Taking 1913 as the base year, the
index number at 100, the cost of liv-
ing ia the summer of this year was
1870, the average wholesale price Of
food was 152, the AVERAGE retail 155;
while the average price to the produc-
err of live stock was lib and of farm
crops, 100. While bread retailed at
an index number of 173, wheat aver
aged to the producer but 1913.
Pork products ran from 115, in the
case of lard, to 1877 for retail ham, but
"hogs to producer" stuck at 116.
Beef varied from liz for retail
round, but the cattle aveage to pro-
Queer was 81.
Wages in the packing plants stood
at 1876 and freight rates at 214.
Hides were way below the 100 for
1918, but leather went to 100 for sole
and 225 for wholesale boots and shoes
while wages were at 200 and freights
at 210.
Cotton to producer stood at los,
compared with 1913. Yarns averag-
ed 107, sheets, brown, 118, and whole
sale prints at 1877
Wool cloths ran from 148 to 1873,
but wool to the producer stood at 90;
wages in the wool mills were 200 and
freights 210.
Southern pine and Douglas fir we're
1913 at them mill; brick, New York
and Chicago, 1879; cement It's at in
terror points.
The union scale in Is building oc-
equations averaged 1870; in 8 occupat-
ions, frame houses, at 1877, and in
eight occupations, brick houses, 1913.
In its recommendation for agricul-
ture the committee onagriculture nam
ed by the unemployment conference
pointed out that it represented an in
dustry employing more workers and
involving an aggregate investment far
greater than in any other industry,
saying: "This industry provides more
than half of the raw materials used
in manufactures furnishes approx
mately so per cent of the gross
freight revenues and makes consum
ers' market for 40 per cent of all man
ufactured goods.
at is plain that an industry of ID,
100000 workers out of total of 40,
100000 in all industries, an industry
furnishing 40 per cent of the consum-
ing power of the nation, a basic in
dustry on which all industries and
workers depend for food and the raw
materials of clothing and many of the
other. necessities of living, has pow
erful and all pervading influence on
unemployment.

SECURE $4,000
WAR FINANCE FUND
LOCAL BANKERS MEET WITH
COURTEOUS RECEPTION
AT HELENA

Rudolph Hoel, vice president, and
w %. Hougen, cashier of the First
National Bank, returned last week
from a journey to the state capital
where they went to arrange the pre-
liminaries incident to the application
made by their bank for $4,000 of
the War Finance Fund being loaned
by the government to banks on farm
collateral, particularly live stock.
Mr.. Hougen says that he and Mr..
Hoel were very courteously received
by the secretary in charge Of the
Montana branch, and that, although
there were many applications filed
ahead, they were given prompt at
tention and the mass of details re-
were disposed of without UNI
necessary delay. The great advan-
to banks and their customers
in the war finance funds lies in the
fact that it can be borrowed for a
year and need not be renewed every
days as is the case with the
money obtained on ~rediscounts with
he Federal Reserve banks.
Through the program mapped out
and backed by the agricultural bloc"
1t Washington, the war finance fund
s being converted to channels that
relieve to some extent the
financial %stringency, especially in in
he west. Some of this fund is being
lsed to aid farmers in pooling their
rain through organizations for that
purpose.
