BEGINNING AT THE TOP.

W/IEN an office man earning $4,000 month,
wv and keeping wife and couple of babies
on that sum, receives notice that.he will be re-
leased at the end Of the month, he draws the re-
naming amount coming to him, and, in nine cases
out OF ten, he faces the future with great uncer.
tainty as to obtaining other work. and with little
surplus to tide himself and family over the period
OF unemployment.
This is happening right along in Fairmout offices
today. There cannot help but be little bitter
ness in the heart Of the employee who has given
his best to his company, and whose services have
been satisfactory to be thus let out to face uncer-
tainty while there may be three or four fat salaried
individuals who because Of investment in the con-
cern, or personal pull from the outside are drawing
down hundreds of dollars that they do not actually
need for any other purpose but keeping an
expensive establishment running luxuriousy, or
gratifying selfish personal pleasures
There are fat salaries being paid now TO men
who do not actually have to have such addition to
their income, aud whose personal services TO the
concerns from which they are receiving these sal
aries are not worth one-tenth the sum awarded
them. When 1t becomes necessary to cut down an
office force, why not give the man who actually
needs bis earnings to support his family. the pref
erence The most OF the men working upon small
salaries have but few dollars between themselves
and actual want. In many instances the sum paid
monthly to one of these high salaried individuals,
will pay tho salary OF hard working, satisfactory
employe for several months. Things can be divided
a little more evenly II corporations and business
concerns choose to do go, and there are certainly
instances where the looping off Of extra expense in
offices should, by all means, begin at the top.

HOME RULE Ii, WEST VIRGINIA,

recent decision of the Court Of Appeals
against the city Of Huntington in regard to
issuance Of restaurant license. not only brings
out sharply the necessity Of correcting such vci-
Gus bit OF legislation at the next meeting of the
legislature, but it should serve to show the people
the need for uniform city charter for all
West Virginia cities.
Every meeting of the legislature is featured by
charter wrangles. City charters are presented and
fought over and passed upon by representatives in
ohafleston who have never In all their lives visited
I cities in question and who know nothing OF
local conditions there, nor tho injury which the
charter they are ratifying may do to the general
public in the places affected.
City charters should be made to take care OF the
welfare Of all of,the people; they should provide
absolutely fair and unbiased city law; aud every
city IN the state should have such charter which
should stand secure and not be banded about,
atneHdedsor nullifIed by lot OF interested poll

BACK TO THE FARM.

RAcK to the soil, might be good advice to some Of
II the men out of Job at present. Many men
have been lured from the farm by the call of tho
office during the past few years, when salaries were
high and men at premium.
Those men who know how to farm, and how to
raise truck gardens will be able to keep their
families in food even though the income may be
cut off for time There are many vacant lots
both large and small that could be had for the
asking IL men out of employment make their wants
known. There would be good market for all
surplus crops and enough food could be raised to
furnish the family during the summer, and give a
big lift the winter months also.
For a long time one OF the pct things which the
farmer has had to grumble about has been the lack
of help upon the farm. 1t looks as IL there should
be no complaining this summer Hundreds of
men driven of the cities by lack OF employment
will be seeking the rural districts. 1t will be a
good thing all around The healthy employment
in the open, the regular hours the muscle stretch
ing work will be more than dollars and cents to
the man who will seek work on farm. 1t will be
hard work, and long hours, and small wages per-
haps but 1t will build up hundreds OF men whom
indoor employment has weakened and bleached.

AN IMPORTANT STEP.

hnAE should be general satisfaction over the
REORGANIZATION with which tho city water com.
missioner and his committee are going after the
proposition OF getting clean, pure water for the
residents OF Fairmont The fact that the plans for
g complete filtration plant have been conflded TO
me hands OF we'll known and efficient firm OF
engtreers, Is proof that there will not be much
getting ready to fatty present the PROPOSE
tonic the people.
It's the purpose of the present commissioner to
provide q filtration plant that will take care Of
The city water for years to come. A plant that
VII make possible pure water in abundance for
theentite population. The growth Of the city will
be AIKEN into consideration in tho plans. and the
survey, when completed, will look toward the fu-
tare well as the present. Any skeptcal citizen
WING VIII take trip TO Clarksburg and sec the
mage work OF the filtration plant up there will
become an Immediate convert to like proposition
Tor Fairmont. II filtration plant can take the
muddy, filthy, water of the West Fork River and
extract every bit OF mud and dirt from It, leaving
e az transparent as the water from a mountain
stream then such plant cannot help but give sat-
tstactions with the water here which is very much
better than that Of the West Fork.
Women of the city who have struggled with
elbow stains in bath tubs and washbasns, with
the yellow clots Of sediment upon freshly washed
garments and who have put oft the family wash
ing for days until the water should be fit will an
prectate the filtration plant Thousands OF people
WHO saw the float which the Chamber of Com
merce placed in the Health Parade will remember
the convincing illustration in the two tanks of
water exhibited upon the float. It was an object
lesson that drew more comment than any other
4tloat in the entire parade. Fairmont is known
andswide as progressive city. This city never
lays but leads. The city has reputation for
handling big things in magnificent fashion, and
DECENTRALIZATION Of the filtration plant will be one
of these things. The health OF the inhabitants OF
Fairmont demands it, progress demands it. The
thing to do now is to get ready at the call and put

Financial and Market News
Local Produce

Reports of sales of Salt River val
ley apricots are not very satisfa ctory.
mainly on account of the quality.
Market men say that in order to i'm
prove this, fruit growers of the val
ley must learn to prune trees properly
and cultivate intensively in order to
propagate a better quality of apricots.
Much of the fruit offered on the
market is immature, showing it was
improperly picked. Nothing can be
gained, market men say, by sending
inferior fruit to market.
The produce market was very quiet
yesterday. the principal offering being
cantaloupes, watermelons, apricots
and potatoes. Several points in Ari-
zona are beginning to ship in Cali
fornia potatoes, notably Prescott and
Globe. Many Of the potato growers
here are holding for high local prices
and do not care TO ship.
Pfums are coming in in very small
quantities and of poor quality. Some
red plums are offered as high as 10
cents a pound by the growers.
All the lettuce coming in is from
southern California. The new pota-
to market is very weak, although the
buying is fair.
The onion market remains weak in
all the producing centers.
Following is the local produce
market.
