PANIC AND MUSICIANS.

musicians in moment of peril. The Eleventh
Division Band in the midst of the general panic
and the cries of the hysterical and injured. kept

bandmen knew the steamer might be sinking, and
their own danger very real, but there were no
faltering notes, weakening in the gay in
souciance of music that endeaTored to tell the
frightened people that canlness was best, and self

Seldom it recorded that band of musicians
ever fail do their utmost to control a panic.

NEWCOMERS OF SPRING.

The little speckle-breasted brown
: wood thrush has made his appeac
| ance in Fairmont and residents
who dote on him and watch and
listen eagerly for his first notes
and a sight of his golden brown
little body were delighted Saturday
and Sunday when his song was
heard and he was seen hopping
about the lawns of several resi-
. dences.
On one certain lawn with him
yesterday were a pair of cardinals
a pair of Jenny Wrens, a pair OF
catbirds and a number of robins.
The cardinals and wrens stay the
year around Z but the catbirds,
thrushes and orioles are only sum
mer guests.
The oriole has arrived too. Usu
ally he comes with the blossoms OF
the apple trees. On several tai.
trees in Fairmont avenue he was
noticed by those who are interest
ed in bird lore. His golden plum
mage and chirp are interpreted as
IA farewell to wint1y blasts.
On the back porch Of a Locust
avenue home a pair of wrens have
already brought into the world a
nestful of young birds.
The brown thrush usually arrives
about the 10th Of April, but it is
thought the cold weather and
frosts delayed somewhat his ap-
pearancel this year.

FRUIT CROP TO BE
SAME AS LAST YEAR

MORGANTOWN. w. Va. May
2.-The first complete report on
the fruit damage caused in West
Virginia by the frosts and contin
ued cold weather were made pub
lie here today by the state expert
ment station, showing that there
will be little, if any, more fruit this
year than in 1921. The losses to
fruit growers all over the state will
probably mount into millions OF
dollars
The fruit injury mas varied wide
ly@with the localities, there being
some sections which seem to have
entirely missed the killing frosts.
The great Ea stern Panhandle
fruit district indicates a complete
loss of all stone" fruits and from
so to 80 per cent injury to apples.
However, some growers are Opt.
1nistic and feel that the York I'm
perialS, which grow to their finest
state Of perfection in this state, will
give half a crop.
The higher central section of the
state, including Braxton. Upshur.
and Webster counties, escaped with
little or no injury What injury &C
Cured was confined to the low
ground and the cherries on the
high land. The majority Of or
chards in this section will probably
have such heavy settings OF fruit
that thinning will be necessary.
In the counties OF Harrison,
Lewis, Monongalia and Marion. the
loss is as severe as in any section
of the state. and is esmiated a.
from rs per cent damage to a COM
plete loss.
The Northern Panhandle, because
of its relatively late blooming per
iod. indicates another good crop
this year It was the only section
of West Virginia to come through
with a good crop in 1921, reporting
IS per cent.
Some Ohio River sections report
heavy loss, as in Ohio County.
while others in Tyler and Pleas
ants counties indicates a crop OF
fifty per cent or more of apples.
The fruit set of buds on grapes
is complete loss the state over.
though some fruit should be had
from the secondary buds.
Complete reports from the eigf-
teen leading fruit counties OF the
state shows SO per cent of the ar
pies killed, which means crop
that is not more than 40 per cent of
the fine 1920 crop. The peaches
will not turn over 20 per cent.
plums 10 per cent, pears 5 per cent
and cherries is per cent of the
bumper fruit Yields in 1920

Berton Braley's Poem
THE coon oID sTUFE

:The novel realistic with an outlook
pessimistic
Has, at present, quite a literary
vogue:
And there's always an attraction
in a novel full of action
Where the hero gets the better
of a rogue;
Then the analytic study of a soul
that's rather muddy
Gives the Unprecedented reader
quite a whirl;
But the novelist's endeayor that
is popular forever
IS the story of a Fellow and a
Girl.
Tales of superheated passion are
at certain times in fashion
And the socialistic novel often
scores;
And the volume where the cynic
holds sort Of social clinic
Is the thing one type of reader
most adores;
But the tale that hits all classes,
from the highbrows to the
masses.
And that sets our sleeping pull
seS in a whirl
Is the book whose glamor hovers
.4ooAd d pdli u youtdAu4
lovers,
Just the story of Fellow and
Girl!
How we Joy to feel the splendor
of love that's sweet and
tender.
How we ache to make the low
ers' pathway. smooth;
How we agonize to aid them when
their trou bles have way1aid
them,
How we'd like chance to coun-
sci them and soothe!
Masterpieces grim and tragic lack
this blithe eternal magic
That makes all our hidden SEN
timent unfurl;
Oh there's nothing else that fills
US with a happy glow and
thrills US
Like the story of Fellow and
Girl!
