MARTINBBURc-cHARLES TOWN
ROAD MAY co NEW ROUTE
TO KEARNEYSvILLE.

A. surveying party composed of
Mr.. R. Hinkle, in charge, and Mesrs.
III. F. Campbell, n. G. Coleman,
r. A. Sliger and G. E. Parson, have
been in the County for the last few
days surveying proposed new Sec
tion Of the Martinsburg road from
Charles Town to Kearneysville.
The route starts from the Charles
Town Corporation line on Mildred
street and runs through Ransom to
the Starry corner on the Leetown
road, then straight on until it strikes
the road leading to Shenandoah juno
ton from the Leetown road at the
southeast corner of the Aglionby
woods, thence nrtherly along that
road to a point about the forks of
the road about a half mile southwest
of Shenandoah Junction, and from
there it takes a northwesterly course
by Bardane to Kearneysville. 1t is
not known whether or not this will be
the route finally decided upon by the
State Road Commission, but the MEM
bers of the surveying party intimate
very strongly that it will be.
The proposed new route has the ad-
vantage of being mile or two short
er than any other route to Kearneys-
vile, being about eight and half
miles from the Charles Town Cor
poration line to Kearneysville.
But much new lands will have to
be condemned for this route, and many
farms cut through, and whether the
shortning of the route will justify
this is question that is open for
discussion.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy
and Ambition Slipping Away.

Charles Town women know how
the aches and pains that often come
when the kidneys fail make life a
burden. Backache, hip pains, head
aches, dizzy spells, distressing uri-
nary troubles, are frequent indica-
tons of weak kidneys and should be
checked in time. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
attack kidney diseases by striking at
the cause. Ask your neighbor!
Here's proof of their merit In
Charles Town woman's words:
Mrs. j. E. Wilmington, 41S E.

cold settled on my kidneys and l
began to have trouble with nagging
backaches that did not let US day or

LICKLIDER CORPORATION
ASSIGNS.

The Licklider Corporation, which
has been engaged in the farming
implement and hardware business in
Shepherdstown the past five years,
has made an assignment for the
benefit of it's creditors, with Geo. M.
Beltzhoover, Jr., of Charles Town,
as trustee. Owing to the abnormal
conditions of the past year or two
having gotten overstocked with farm
machinery at high prices which can
not now be sold even at the most
moderate figures-the firm has been
! financially embarrassed of late.
I After consultation with all it's credi-
tors and with their assent, arrange
ments were made a few weeks ago
by which the business was to be
liquidated. The largest creditor of
the concern, however, brought suit
! for its account, and the firm there
upon made an assignment so that all
its creditors should share alike.
| The Licklider Corporation, whose
officers were E. 7. Licklider, presi-
! dent and treasurer, and H. L. Lick
| lider, vice-president and general
manager, did a large business in
Jefferson and adjoining counties, un-
! til the business slump set in couple
of years ago. 1t was most useful
institution, and served the needs of
the farmers of the Shepherdstown
section by keeping on hand large
stock of farm supplies and handling
the most approved implements. 1t
prospered until the past two years,
when farmers practically stopped
buying machinery and purchased on
" articles that were absolutely nee
essary. Besides this slump in bust
ness, the firm was unfortunate in
losing considerable sums by farmers
who have gone into bankruptcy dur
ing the past several years.
Edward T. Licklider has been
placed in charge of the stock of
goods by Mr.. Beltzhoover, the trus-
tee, and he is selling the stuff at re-
duced prices. The stock has been
linvoiced at between $1,000 and
$4,000, and with other property
brings the assets of the firm to
$4,000 or more. No statement of
liabilities has been filed. The cred
itors are banks of the county and
Ileadig manufacturers of farm sup
niles

CHARLES TOWN 100 PER CENT
MUSIC LOVING.

Such thing as a Non-Lover of
Music in this town is simply myth.
This Klean-Kut-Klassy Band was
organized for the benefit of the
town. Some possibly think we are
for ourselves alone and wish to be at
daggers ends with any other organi-
zation-such is not the case. We
are for every musical organization
that stands for public entertainment
and will go the limit to help any one
of them to make showing. The
letters (some of them) were written
by the undersigned simply as a
teaser ad. The aim was to get a
uniform and every one will agree we
asked no one 70 "a donation-true,
lots of donations were made-but
never asked for. The letter signed
"Citizen" praising the band &c. got
by alright, but no comments were
made. Every one stood 100 per cent
for the band and passed it up for
truth-then "Non-lover of Music"
got busy with his pencil and told
how bad the band was, and the
answer is simply-New Summer
Uniforms. So in the end we wish
to thank each and every citizen
big, little, old and young, for doing
their part. We just had to blow
our own horn to obtain results-but
what else should band man do? :
E. G. Henson,
For the Band.

In loving remembrance of our dear
and only child, Evelyn Virginia
Dunn, on her 9Th birthday.
Oh, the vacant chair in our lonely
home,
My heart grows sick with pain,
l long for one glimpse of the vanish
ed form,
That will never come back again.
Dear Evelyy, could you speak to US,
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be
healed;
But this we wish in vain.
Oh, Evelyn smile on us from Heaven;
Ask God to lead US when we die,
That we may meet our dear Evelyn
Some sweet day by and by.
Keep her Jesus in thy keeping
Till / reach that shining shore,
Then, o Master, let me have her,
Love and keep her as before
Thy face my mind will forever see
Forgotten thou shalt never be.

ATTENTION FARMERsi

Due to the bad quality of wheat
this season we are forced to make all
purchases strictly on grade. We
have instructed our Elevator foreman
to make test of each load as we
find wheat from the high lands much
better than from the lower lands and
we wish to give the producer every
advantage.
Owing to the Railroad strike and
our inability to secure care we want
to advise all our customers not to
thresh their wheat while in wet or
tough condition, as it is impossible
for us to handle it as it will heat and
burn up before we can get same to
destination.
Assuring you that we are here to
serve you to the best of our ability

1922 WHITE POTATO
CROP BREAKS RECORD
Over $1,000 Carloads Shipped Off
Peninsula This Season. -661
Cars One Days Record.

The white potato crop of the Mary
land-Delaware Virginia Peninsula,
from Cape Charles, Va, to Whining
ten, Del, inclusive, has this year
broken all previous records for both
production anG shipments. Practical
j: the entire crop of this region, which
is one of the chief potato producing
sections in the country, reaches mar
Eet over the lines of the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad. The movement for the
present season is practically COM
rleted. To date it has consisted of
16,019 carloads, an increase of 10
Ter cent over the previous high rec
ord, made last year, of 500 cars.
Most of the crop goes to the mas-
kets of the Philadelphia, New York
and New England districts, and to
the Central Western region between
Pittsburgh, Chicago, and st. Louis.
his year about 60 per cent of the
crop went east and 40 per cent west.
Nearly 20 per cent of the entire crop
V ent into New England, an unusually
large portion.
On the heaviest single day this
year, the Pennsylvania Railroad car
ried 661 carloads of potatoes away
from the Peninsular farms. This was
en- July 18th, and constitutes the
highest record for any single days
rctato shipments from the Peninsula.
The heaviest previous day was July
7 of last year, when 653 carloads
were moved.
The record week this year was July
1G to Is inclusive, when 3543 car
lads of potatoes were hauled, as COM
Jared with 2,446 during the week of
July to 8, last year, the heavieso
rcriod of 1921.
Although the movement of the crop
las been the heaviest ever known, the
car supply this year was entirely ade-
cuate to all requirements, and the
condition of the cars furnished was
repeatedly commented upon by farm
ers and shippers as being the best ir
tFeir experience. The shopmen's
strike was on during the greater part
Ct the period; nevertheless, neither
the car supply nor the handling Of the
loaded cars was affected or intcrfereu
with in the slightest degree. About
600 box cars We're required to handle
the crop each car averaging two
round trips between shipping point
and market.
