CITIZENS FIRE COMPANY TO
MAKE DRIVE TO LIFT DEBT
About 81, 500 To Be Raised.


At a meeting of the Citizens Fire
Company members, together with
friends of the organization last night
| in their meeting hall, ways and means
were discussed for the lifting OF q
debt of $50, with interest, which
the company owes. After consider
able discussion it was decided to start
the drive at once, and every citizen
of Charles Town and jefferson Coun-
ty will be given an opportunity to
contribute to this cause.
Messers. F. A. Brown, Harry Mars
teller, E. G. Henson, R. c. Rissler,
and c. L. Haines were appointed a
publicity committee to give the drive
the widest publicity possible.
A committee of arrangements was
appointed, consisting of Mayor G. K.
Wysong, and Messrs. E. E. Cooke,
John Briscoe, Capt. C. c. Perks and
former captain B. D. Wood. This
committee will meet in the next day
or two and formulate plans to make
the drive success, which will be
given in detail next week.
1t was the general opinion of
those present that it certainly should
not be difficult to raise the amount
needed by the company to wipe its
slate clean of debt, and every citizen
should prepare to cheerfully contri-
butte to this cause, as more worthy
one is hard to find. If every voter
would give dollar or two, and every
property owner from five to twenty
five dollars, it would be put across
promptly and with some over.
When the dred fire alarm sounds
in the night, it may be four miles
away as it was early yesterday
morning, or it may be your property,
no one knows whose will be next,
and whosever it is, the firemen will
probably be needed badly and need
ed promptly.
1t is duty we owe to ourselves,
as we'll as to the faithful and efficient
fire fighters, to help them to the ex-
tent of our ability.
So don't wait until you are called
on, but come forward promptly with
donation, which will be received by
any member of either of the above
named committees.
The Citizens Fire Company is a
worthy and efficient organization
and has often promptly and effec-
lively helped to stop what might have
been a very series fire indeed. 1t
has a good equipment, well above the
average of companies in small towns
but we hope to see it have better
one in the near future.
So watch for the plan of the drive
and be prepared and ready to help
the Fire Boys with a substantial do
nation.

Power to Levy was carried by
large majorities in all five of the
School Districts of the county.
The vote in both Berkeley and
Morgan counties was light. Charles
N. Campbell for the House of Dele
gates was defeated by small ma
jority as was his associate Mr.. Lloyd,
the majority aginst the former being
172 and the latter, $50. George M.
Bowers for Congress had only three
majority over Allen, the vote for
Bowers being 1924; Allen 1921. On
the Senatorship the vote stood:
Sutherland 1886; Nicely, 2961. Miss
Bessie D. Kilmer won easily over
Mr.. Keesecker, the Republican in
cumbent by SIG votes, for County
Superintendent Of schools. Her ma
jority was the highest given any
candidate on either ticket. Even
Morgan county, the most confirmed
Republican section in the country
forgot her allegiance long enough to
elect nearly all Democratic officials.
The national ticket Jared better.
Sutherland was given 1917 to 933
for Nicely. For Congress, Allen re-
ceived 1908 votes, while the total for
Bowers was 1880.

Professor Wright Denny has
right to be proud. He informs us
that the students of the Charles
Town High School were transferred
on last Tuesday to their new COM
modious High School Building on
Congress street. The Building has
been thoroughly overhauled and
splendidly equipped in furnishings,
&c. The rooms are well lighted and

MANDARIN SLEEVES CHARACTERIZE NEW COATS

Topcoats Of the moments are all
most without exception shown with
wide mandarin sleeves. Yet the
smart suit of this season has still, in
most cases. the extremely snug sleeve
that has been in vogue for several
years. Why?
To learn the reason for the wide
sleeves of the new coats, one must
consider the dresses over which they
will be worn. for the fun length coat
is the boon companion of the one
piece frock, and must conform to
that frock's changing moods or see
itself sLpplanted by cape.
The bare elbow has for some
months been hiding itself in long and
wide sleeves some hanging loosely,
mandarin fashion, others gathered
into a snug cuff or frill at the wrist
1t is to accommodate these large
sleeves of the newest frocks. that
topcoats widen their armholes some-
times actually to the waist line, ana
add many inches to their width from
shoulder to cuff.
Tweeds and homespuns Will un-
doubtediy furnish most of the palmer
type of topcoats for 1922. Such ia
brics are desirable for business, mo-
tor and rainy-day wear.

tricotine are said to be replacing

what used for coats, as it's agreeable

Little Stories For Bedtime
DANNY MEADOW MOUSE HAS TO
PROVE HIS LOVE
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

Good morning" said Danny
Meadow Mouse. when he suddenly
found little Miss Nanny Meadow
Mouse sitting with her back TO him,
quite as if she hadn't the least idea
that he was anywhere about Miss
Nanny pretended not to hear.
Good morning. said Danny little
louder than before, Little Miss Nanny
turned her head and pretended to be
very, very much surprised.
"Good morning. said she in very
low voice, and appearing very shy,
Danny thought it was the sweetest
voice he had ever heard.
1--we come to make a call" said
Danny, because he couldn't think of
anything else TO say.
"Oh" said little Miss Nanny. and
then both laughed because it was all
so very funny and foolish sounding,
DO you always. chase people until
they lose their breath and are too
tired to run another step when you
make calls?p asked Miss Nanny
do you always hide when you see
callers eoming?' asked Danny.
Then they both laughed again, and
in two minutes they were talking as
if they had known each other always.
And every minute Danny Meadow
Mouse was falling more and more in
love- 1t seemed to him that he just
couldn't live without little Miss
Nanny. He wanted 10 take her right
home with him. He told her so. He
told her that she was the most beau
tiful Meadow Mouse in the world and
q lot more foolish things which Were
very pleasant to hear.
IF you will come home with me
and be Mrs Danny, I'll fight for you
and work for you, and you won't ever
