The train was stopped by an auto

One passenger in the observation car,
rather than hold up his hands, jumped
from the train. AS he was fleeing one
of the bandits shot at him.
l.. A. Torrens and wife, of New York

LOGAN, w. Va, Aug. Slogan
County authorities announced tonight
that telegram had been sent to
Washington stating that unless troops
we're sent at once the county would be
attacked by between 1000 and 5000
men. Sheriff Chain at the same time
issued the following statement tc
newspaper men:
There has been more or less con-
tinuous firing on four points of the
line to-day. The points are Beech
Creek, Blair, Crooked Creek and Mill
Greek
Casualties, according to the best
reports we can obtain, were limited te
three in the defensive or Logan County
forces. John Gore, a deputy sheriff
was killed. The most serious fighting
was reported from the vicinity Of
Blair. At all points our forces sue
ceeded in driving back the invaders.
Reports Repulses Of Invaders
"Our opponents advanced one mile in
the Blair district, but were driven
back. In the Beech Creek district they
advanced one mile, and there also were
turned back. The furthcst advance was
in the Peck's Mill district, where they
advanced two miles along Hewitt
Creek. Here we also drove them back

The announcement that an appeal
had been made to the Federal govern
ment TO hasten dispatch of troops was
made by officials at the courthouse

Mcdowell men, six miles Of rough
mountain country were said to scpa-
rate the outposts. Through this Wild
section scouting parties from both sides
passed during the day, and while de-
tails were lacking it was assumed here
that the casualties were caused when
they came in contact with one an
other. Surgeons and nurses were sent
to Peck's Mill. where a field hospital
was established late in the afternoon
Other hospitals, it was said. would be
ready before tomorrow.
Women Feed Volunteers
The little county town Of Logan was
the scene Of intense activity. Volun-
teers continued to come in from all
over the southern part of the state.
Women of the county served them with
food and hot coffee, while trained mill
tary men organized them into service
units and hurried them to the front.
Everywhere the gravity of the situa-
tion was recognized.
The unusual situation confronting
the people of Logan County, which has
been described by Governor Morgan as
an insurrection, is the direct outgrowth
of the long controversy between the
organized and unorganized miners of
this section. All of Logan County east
of Spruce Fork Ridge is unorganized,
but the little section lying between the
eastern slope Of the mountains and the
Boone County line is filled with union
miners.

Family May Make
200 Gallons Of Wine
Government Imposes No Re-
striction as 10 Alcoholic Con-
tent: Maker Must Register

Every householder in the United
is empowered to make 200 gallons of
wine year for the use of his own
family and to be consumed on his own
premises, according to ruling of the
government received yesterday by
United States Internal Revenue Collec-
tor Robert O. Eaton at Hartford, Conn.
There are no hampering restrictions
as to alcoholic content Of the wine that
may be made, nor as to the sort of
wine. The government is said to have
taken the point of view that no house
holder could tell the alcoholic content
of a given quantity of home brew, so
the matter is left open. The 200 gal
Ions of wine per family is not subject
to tax, according to a statement issued
by Collector Eaton last night
There is stipulation that the maker
OF wine must file formal notice of his
intention before he starts manufactur-
ing. This provision, the collector said,
is in accord with the regulations that
have been received from Washington.

many sales departments to condi-
ton their mental viewpoint.
Statesmen, in many instances, are
DEMORALIZED by the return of
a buyers market. They have lost
their power to compete. Softened
by three years of unprecedented
ease of selling, the old vigor and
fighting power which enabled
them to do business under far
more difficult conditions years ago
are no longer theirs.

prices which present raw mate
rial costs do not justify, DE- =,
SERVES the penalty which loss
of patronage will speedily bring.
For the continuation of busi-
ness it is necessary that manufac-
turers have ORDERS. The mer-
chant must place those orders
NOW. It is amply proven that
further depression of prices in
many raw material markets will
be wholly artificial. 1t is NOT to
the advantage of the country that
such depression shall take place.
The time to buy confidently has
come.
Manufacturers have right to
expect that the merchants will
look forward to the future of busi-
ness with courage and confidence.
They need orders; they should
have them at once.
What manufacturers
must do
Manufacturers owe it to the
public to keep their plants in oper-
alton so that unemployment may
not exist. If there is reduction in
work there will be a correspond
ing reduction in buying power. 1t
is idle to urge the public to buy
merchandise while at the same
time taking away from the public
the power to do so. And (as every
basic study of conditions proves)
this country is sound financially,
industrially and agriculturally.
This is no time for a general
policy of drastic retrenchment
and cessation of production.
Furthermore, manufacturers
must remember that during the
entire war period production was

What merchants
must do

Merchants in every line of busi-
ness must accept their inevitable
losses due to the drop in raw
material prices. They must re-
duce the prices of their present
stocks in accordance with the cost
of replacing those stocks today.
They must tell the public that this
has been done.
And merchants are amply able
to do this. Some have already
done it. It is NOT a matter for
admonition it is a matter for
purely selfish judgment. The
merchant who today attempts to
force the public to continue to pay

public's buying power.
If you have been deferring the
purchase of any necessities or
commoner luxuries, contribute
YOUR share to the general public
welfare by making the purchase

THE United States is going
l. through a period of adjust
ment Of living costs and COM
modify prices. 1t was inevitable
that the changing business condi-
tions and buying habits would
create a general feeling of uncer-
tainty. Readjustment and uncer-
tainty always have been insep-
arabic companions. The present
condition of business was to be
expected and is, in a sense, en-
tirely normal.
But it is not necessary that
present conditions be continued.
It is possible to enter period of
prosperity just as quickly as the
people Of this country WILL 1T.

for merchandise are FAIR. The
man or woman who idly spreads

And the public, second, must
