WASHING Windows.

If windows are washed when the

there is time to polish them, and look
streaky. Always dust windows before
washing them. Add a little ammonia
to the water to make the glass shine

ABAp HABIT

HERE occasionally happens in Faimont line
of talk which doesn't set at all well with the
BON West Virgnian. Everybody hears touch Of it
occasionally and nobody cares for much Of it The
person who springs it is always person from the
outside, and generally one who is making quite a sue
cessful living in midst 1t IS the habit OF this per
son from Ohio. Pennsylvania, or wherever to roast
our town. and our state, and draw mfavorable COM
parison between West Virginia and MS naive state,
or Fairmont and his home city.
While wa do not deny that this city owes much
10 outside capital. and that it is greatly slndebted to
many Of its residents who come from other states, yet
we believe that we more than balance accounts when
we receive assurance from the very presence OF this
capital invested and from the fact that people are
living here who were not bonn in West Virginia, that
for the lime being anyhow these folks finding
West Virginia mighty good place to be. and are re-
cevng more than they would get in their home city or
state or they would not be here.
Sometimes our native folks grow very FESTIVE under
the lash of these knockers from outside, and being
somewhat in the position Of host and his guest it IS
difficult to cling fast to breeding and ciwy and listen
in silence. Women worse than men. we lind, IN
criticism of this kind. IF the women find it different

Blue as always happens when moving into a strange
place. they apt to open up in sarcastic fashion In
the presence of West Virginia women. in way that
would probably make their husbands sqrim if they
could hear. Naturally this does not make it any
easier for the stranger.
Fainnont has literally hundreds Of residents from
without the state. Many and many Of them have
grown to like US 50 much that they settle down for
life and find just as much eontentment here as in
their native state. Numbers of these people are the
warmest friends that Fairmont possesses. and would
be as quick to resent inyidious comparison as any
resident of the town. We like them, and they like
JUS and are happy at their presence here. but to
the outsider who lines his pockets from our wealth and
our industries and then sneers at city and our
state we should certainly be glad to bid final adieu

After some discussion on the subject it

among which were the establishing OF
more camping facilities on the camp

signs at every mile along all main roads
leading to Custer, membership drive,
