4 Letter for ClarkSburg

Hon DIN C. Carter OF Middlebourne.
w Va. has addressed an open letter to
Hon. John 5. Barst. state auditor, rel
at!ve to the location of the state capi-
;ol. Mr.. Carter Is n strong advocate Oh
Clarksburg and objects 10 the cavalier
manner In which MIR. Darst presumeS
to rule out of consideration all other
applicants for the state capitol IMAM
Charleston. The letter Is as follows:
Middlebourne, w. Va.
Jan. S, l92l.
Hon. John s. Darst,
state Auditor.
Charleston. W. Va.
My dear Mr.. parst:-
The papers report you as stating that
"thc capital is as permanently ilXeu
at Charleston rs the hills that surround
the city, and that there will be no fight
worthy OF the name 70 remove IT.
In this particular section Of the state
we are ut a loss to understand why
this Is so, or why you should believe It
to he so.
We believe here that the seat of our
state government should be at Ciarks-
burg, and assign for some OF the rea-
sons the following:
Clarksburg Is Geographically located
right: it is Il railroad center and easy
10 rC1Cn from pIdCt'Cat"y All lIt''' -
the state; it has surrounding 1t great
farming, mining and manufacturing
country: the city Is sufficiently large.
and is substantially built. 1t Is easy for
you TO state that II IS permanently
fixed etc" but what reasons have. or
do you assign for these statements?.
The people residing in the counties or
Upshur, Lewis BraXton, and Webster,
are all within two hours ride by train
from Clarksburg. I mention these coun-
ties for the reason that you perhaps re-
gard them as southern counties. We
presume that your section of the state
will not object TO the calling OF 4
special election for the purpose of Civ
ing the people fthe state an oppor-
tuuity to vote on the proposition OF the
removal. You have the right to contend
for what you believe 10 be for the best
interests OF your section Cf tho state.
hut in doing so we would like 10 know
why you believe Charleston preferable
to ClarkSburg, as 4 suitable place for
the seat of the state government. Up
here we do not believe that you can
assign q good reason. Let's see II you
ran? Where would it SUIT best tho COun
lies Of Preston, Hucker, PCndl"ton, Bar
bour. Fnrdy. Mineral. Hampshire. Nor
gan, berkeley and Jeffrrtrn, rot mcn-
tion.ng all the northern. central and
some of the southern counter TO have
the seat Of the state government?
With kindest regards. | am.
Very trhIy yours.
DIN -. Carter.

''WatCh
Your
Step''

The first thing a stranger looks
at is your feet. Note that eye
travels from your face to your
feet, and as a rule the feet re-
ccive the greatest attention.
A suit or costume by Worth could
be spoiled if the feet were en-
caScd in ill-ftting footwear.
1t is a duty you owe yourself to
wear footwear which do your
feet justice. Comfortable shoes
do not always mean homely
shoes. If the feet are properly
fitted, they are also prettily
fitted.

AS ludicrous perhaps a old misconcepton some
skeptcal folks used to have about advertising.
There was time when advertisements had to
be taken with grain of salt. A few misguided adj
vertisers thought they could sell their goods better
by msrepresenting them. Those advertisers have
long since gone out of business mended their
ways Hard experience taught that untruthful ad
vertsng didn't pay
Other advertisers proved that the only way to ad-
vertise successfully, make regular customers, and
build up good will to tell the absolute truth
about their goods in their advertisements.
You can depend on the merchant manufacturer
who advertises. The that tells you frankly
what it is doing is good with which to do
business. The store that advertises is progressive
store that has something really worth while to say
to YOU And companies that advertise their pro-
ducts or their service have confidence in them You
can safely share their confidence.
Inferior merchandise cannot masquerade in the
quality clothes of advertising.
Read the advertisements!

WOULD SELL WALTER REED.
Representative Would Have Medi-
cal Center in More Quiet Spot.

Representative Keller Of Minnesota,
member of the House District COM
mittee, said today that he is drafting
bill on which he expects to have con-
member of the House during the sum-
mer with view to getting favorable
action in the fall when appropriation
bills are being considered.
The proposed Keller bill will provide
for selling the land now occupied BY
Walter Reed Hospital and the pur-
chase of other land and construction
of real medical center which will
furnish the best possible care for war
victims.
Representative Keller said today that
he believed that adjacent to Washing
ton great medical center of this sort,
equipped with most modern facilities.
should be established, where the most
necessitious cases resulting from the
world war could be given most careful
attention. He proposed the construc-
ton of a modern hospital building
equipped with all the latest scientific
appliances.

the development of surroundings prop
