Tax Being Paid on Cor
poration That Exists
Only in Name

; Directors of the Fairlnont
Chamber of Commerce today con
sidered the question Of canceling
the CHARTER OF the old Fairmont
Board of Trade. The Chamber is
paying $50. Useless Incorporation
tax on that organization yearly.
The discussion brought ont that
there are some stockholders in the
Board CT Trade and either the cap
ital zation could be reduced and
then the tax would be only SO q
year. or the stock could be tGken
in. C. w. Evans was appointed
to act with Thomas Council to
make a survey of the situation
with the lessening Of this tax in
view.
Secretary Cornell was authortz-
ed to see what could be done
about getting signs at the cross
roads in this vicinity.
The question OF raising the dues
OF the chamber was brought up
since the bylaws are being re-
vised. No action was taken on the
problem. 1t was thought by some
that more people would belong to
the chamber with the dues at $40
a year as they are now, than II
they were raised 10 S25 a year,
as 1t Is in most other cities. That
was the first object In setting the
dues at that figure.
The Industrial Exhibit which
opens soon at the Y. NJ. G. A.,
room will cost the Y. NJ. c. A..
$3.50 to advertise 1t. They asked
the Chamber OF Commerce to do
nate $50 for this part OF the
work. The chamber acted favor
ably on the request and the mon

A contest is being conducted by

Wheeling and Erkins which passes
through Fairmont. Secretary
Cornell, Of the local chamber. will
send complete information out TO
all the members OF the body and
to fother civic organizations IN
Fairmont so that all may take
part in this contest. There was
much enthusiasm at the Morgan
town meeting yesterday about the
contest, and in. the short time that
1t twas fbefore the meeting over
fifty names were1suggested.
Several interesting names such
as 1.-THE Morgan Highway and
the Washington Highway" were
suggested at the chamber meet
ing today. 1t was felt that a name
should be selected that had some
real West Virginia ring to it.

MIRACLES

tables saunter about the room, and ap- pies and potatoes fly from their recep- tacles and sometimes playfully bump the heads of investigators. When Marie goes into the garden stones and chunks of earth leap into the air. All these mir acles are vouched for by learned Ba- varian doctors. The wisest heads are puzzled and somewhat worried, and the University of Munich is preparing to in- stitute further investigations
 If they are frauds. it must be admit ted that Couion the pug and little Marie are very excellent ones. And there are plenty of others almost as good Europe demands wonders, and if the French and Germans do not share the Englshman's liking for ghosts and seances it is quite proper for them to have marvels of their own.
 Of course, science has some explana- tion for all these seeming miracles But science is a kill-jcy. A mystery that is explained is no longer interesting After it's years of war agony Europe deserves all the comfort and amusement it can get out of it's playing with the supernatural, and one is almost willing to hope that the wiseacres will refrain from spelling the fun.

fession joined them joyously in spend ing the salary of Baby Marie. Illus band and wife drifted apart, the characters of both suffered in the evil dence brought out in court, but the mother was granted a divorce.
 Baby Marie ought to be rich now, but she isn't. The money that ruined the lives of her foolish parents has been squandered and the world looks rather bleak to all three of the Os- bornes.
 The lesson of this domestic tragedy will be lost on an army of other dot ing fathers and mothers who aspire to see their children stars of the screen. N

AN UNrIDY GIRL

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The remarkable thing in the state ment of Lillian McGill, 20, and, of course, pretty, who says she killed a man Sunday night. rolled the body under the bed and forgot the murder until Tuesday, is her frank admission that she didn't sweep under the bed between Sunday night and Tuesday tidy girl would have swept the whole room Monday.
 Our criminal annals show that there is nothing in the experience of women in court in the role of the flair accused that would cause a casual murder to give handsome lass moment of anxiety. Upon the other hand every book or article upon good hodsekeep- ing says the minimum requirement is sweeping under the furniture, or mov- ing the furniture before sweeping Possibly the explanation that she was "dazed" for two days may, in the eyes Of aejury not composed of women and good housekeepers, serve as an ade- quate excuse for Miss McGilrs not hav- ing swept under the bed Monday, but good housekeepers will not hold her guiltless.

Alabamian Finds
 Poultry Profitable

HIRED CLIFFORD, progressive U Butler county farmer, produces figures showing that poultry is a val uable agricultural asset. His fig ures, based upon flock of 50 Rhode Island hens for period of one year show net profit in actual sales of eggs, young hens and flyers of $40 In addition, the family had fresh eggs as often as they desired, the grazing land produced 20 bushels of corn and 100 bushels of potatoes and, finally he has flock of 112 hens, 12 more than double his original total, to be- gin this years poultry efforts.
 And here is the important feature This decidedly good showing was made virtually with no extra work. MT. Clifford merely practiced intelli- gent methods. He constructed hen houses and GOODS that resisted the in- vasion of rains and rats and lice and disease. In other words, he gave the hens a square deal and he and the hens prospered.
 It is astonishing that more farmers do not pay more attention to the poultry end of their business. h. stead of regarding this feature as an incidental, it is possible to develop it into an asset that will pay the an nual grocery bill, the taxes and con siderable portion of other fixed ex- penses.
 Some day, and the time is quickly arriving, farmers will give the hen proper attention and when they do, they will observe their bank accounts growing.
