influence they possess to see that the state high
way between Clarksburg and the Pennsylvania

alive to the Importance Of speeding up the work

ADD1TIoNA1 FIRE EoUrpsrENT.

HE efforts of the Board of Directors of the
1 city toward adding additional equipment to
the fire department will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of the people of Fairmont. It has been
apparent for long time that the equipment,oE the
local fire department not adequate for the pro-
lection of city as large as Fairmont. Indeed 1t
has been felt that only good fortune has prevented
the city from suffering much loss from disastrous
fires. The city directors are to be commended for
being careful before purchasing additional equip.
ment to see that the right kind is secured, but
no time should be lost. Winter is coming when
the danger from fires is greatest.

Berton Braley's Poem
TOLERANCE


A little boredom now and then
Is healthy for the brightest men
1t touches patience calm and poise
And adds a flip to our Joys;
For when you've listened to a
bore
For halt an hour or maybe more,
You are so glad to get away
That anything will make you gay!
The dullest books. the dullest
folks,
The fustiest Of tales and jokes
Enhance your natural delight
In anything that's new and bright,
So when a bore drones in your ear
Long yarns you do not care to
hear,
Consider, US he talks to you,
How glad you'll be when he is
through.
II you can listen with a smile
While he goes on in dreary style
II you don't Crack Beneath the
Strain
Think how your Character will
gaini
You've learned the secret OF con
troll,
And you are Captain of your soul
The bore's a useful chap. YOU
see
From whom. Good Lord, delive,

President Harding, as highest
leader of his party, will make no
speeches In this years campaign.
He has politely turned aside all
suggestions offered to that end.
Nor does he expect to write any
campaign letters. The feeling at
the White House is that the situa.
ton is not now, or is likely to be
such, as to necessitate his taking
hand In the contest between the
two parties. Besides, the Presi-
dent has on his hands much i'm.

many big questions Of state to con.

get more outdoor exercise than he
has been able to get for some
months past. One matter that he
will avail himself OF the lull in con.

any better invention. Nobody has
yet been able to come forward with
one, although merchant marine has
been under discussion in and out OF
Congress for upwards Of year.

that there has been a marked

 However the solicitor said he would ask one question of those interested in the movement which is construed by some to mean that he is not en- tirely in sympathy with the work be- ing done in Lambert's behalf
 The question asked by the solici- tor is:
 .,Did any one of those who are working in Lambert's behalf hear the trial or have they read a transcript of the testimony"
 Lambert is scheduled to hang March F for the murder of Martha GilleIand. an Ens&ey girl It Is said that he was disappointed because she refused to marry him Among those who are working to save Lambert s life arc MrA R.
