WEST VIRGINIA IS
 RICH FRUIT REGION


 MARTINSBURG, w Va, Dec. 19.- An example of the importance of West Virginia's famous Eastern Panhandle fruit belt is given by statistics just compiled here of this seasons yield from single orchard It is that of the, Northern Virginia Orchard Com pany, near Arden, originally owned by John M. Miller, who made a for turne from it. Two hundred of the 300 acres of the orchard this year pro- duced 31 ,466 barrels of apples, which, if loaded into freight cars making up single freight train, at 160 barrels to the car, would have made a solid train two miles in length. Of the total apple crop 26,366 barrels were being culls, or cider apples. The crop number ones and twos, 5,100 barrels comprised York Imperials, Ben Davis es and Grimes Goldens. The remain ing 100 acres were hit by frost, and part of the crop was ruined for the season. The entire crop was ex> ported to England.

PUT ]. s. COIN IN GERMAN BANK,
 BROKE NOW

DEFIANCE, Ohio, Dec. 19. = His S5,OO0 savings have diminished to sir because of the depreciation in Germany of money values, Fred Grueber, formerly of this county, has returned, after spending fifteen years in the Fatherland. He is glad to get back to the United States, even though he has to begin all over again, at the age of siXty,two years.
 q first landed in America in 1888, with thirty-fiye dollars" said Grueber. 1.-TWO weeks ago I landed again with thirty-five dollars. But the first thirty-five dollars belonged to me, while the second is what I had, left from two hundred dollars borrowed from relatives in this coun- try to pay my transportation.'
 After operating a saloon in the village of Okolona, Henry County, for twelve years, Grueber went to Germany with more than I$5000 savings and placed the money in a bank at interest. The money still is in the bank, but is practically worth less.
 The $200 sent him to return home on. Grueber said, would have pur- chased 450,0OO German marks. But that doesn't mean much, Grueber added, in country where shoes cost 10000 marks; butter, 500 marks per pound, and pound of coffee costs 800 or 900 marks.
 "The German laborer is suffering because he receives only about nine- ty marks an hour,' said Grueber. "Every village and town is printing paper money, and every time the press starts the value of the mark drops.
 "The people have lost all religion, I'll political faith and are a disor- ganized mass, incapable of being governed by any party or political regime now. They have no use for the kaiser and his crowd. They pay little heed to the existing Berlin government.
 Few go to church, Sunday is not observed People work and drink seven days each week. in a con stant effort either to get something to eat or to drown their troubles in alcohol The dollar is the sole ob- iect of the people, and the old ideas of culture are forgotten" declared Grueber.
 Tales of Germany's postwar pros perity and rapid industrial recov- cry are mythical according to Grue- Der.

Hubert ID. stephens, running on a
pfc-Wilson platform, by less than
200 votes on the face OF partial re
turns from II out of 81 counties in
yesterdays Democratic primary. Miss
Belle Kearney, the woman candi-
date, has polled a good vote.
Stephens is confident that he will
defeat Vardaman when all the Mis-
sissippi returns are in
If Miss Kearney should receive
$4,000 votes or more, there will
have to be another primary in which
the two highest candidates will be
pitted against each other.
One of the features of the contest
was the partially successful efforts
Of the Stephens Democrats to pre-
vent the Socialists and Republicans
from voting in the Democratic pri-
mary. Nardaman expected to get
10000 votes from this source. IT
is conceded that Miss Kearney drew
votes that otherwise would have

PACIFIC BASIN
TO SEE CHANGE
Great World Development
Movement Will Be Cen
tered on the Pacific.

LAKESIDE, Ohio. Aug. L.
Bishop Charles Edkard Locke, OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, forecast
that the next great world movement
would be in the Pacific basin in a
speech delivered here before the
summer assembly of the church.
Bishop Locke, who lives in Man.
LA, is in the United States on Off
cial business.
"The Pacific is fer all peace low
ing nations" said Bishop Locke.
Disarmament is the new watch
word OF the nations.
The next great world movement
will not be on the shores of the
Mediterranean nor of the Atlantic,
where have been enacted SO many
thrilling scenes in the drama OF CIV
ilization. The central arena will be
transferred to the Pacific basin. The
Oriental and the Occidental either
ere to cooperate or meet in deadly
antagonism which may mean the
eXtefmlndtlOn OF tHe Wedhei races
and the extinction of the proud
progeny of Adam from the face oil
the earth.
Great statesmen must bring
their mighty intellects to the contro-
vcrsies Of the Pacific. but the para
mount service OF humanity in this
crisis OF events will be rendered by
the ambassadors OF Christ.
Disarmament is the new watch
word OF the nations. Arbitration il
more humane than war. The worlc
has had enough OF Alexander and
Caesar Machiavellianism, but moi
enough of Christ"

no matter how humble. If she wish
es to live her own life, have her own
dreams of happiness and forget
about the world her wish should be
respected Let her go meet her

VAROAMAN lEADS-SECONO
q PRIMARY NECESSARY

JACKSON, Miss. Aug. 16.-Varda
man headquarters claim a lead for
former Senator Vardaman over
s ephens of approximately 5000. The
following figures were given as the
present standing of the candidates
Vardaman, 59,045; Stephens, 53,067 ;
Miss Keaney 16400.
