The Rag-Time Tournament goes
merrily on, and the high score Of 1160
announced last week has already
been exceeded three times. First
Woodhead and Gross rolled 1164, then
Lumsdon and Woodhead knocked over
1173, and finally Wolfe and Joe
Woodhead's brother, known as Jimmy
Smith to avoid confusion, stole in
one dark night and spilled 1248.
That's the top SO far. In the singles

entries have rolled, and of these

The Movie Committee have just
busted out with a big announcement
which they have been keeping under
their hats for some time. The
reading public will readily recall that
Manager Albrechtson spent few
days in ST. Paul and Minneapolis a
few weeks ago, but his object in do
ing so was not altogether revealed at
the time. It is now announced that
while there he spent quite bit of
time with the film agencies, looking
for big pictures and was fortunate
enough to get hold of three produc-
tions which are probably among the
greatest spectacles now current. The
first of these is "Over the HILL"
which is an eleven-reel picture based
on the poem, cover the Hill to the
Poorhouse," and which features Mary
Carr probably the most beloved in
terpreter of "Mother" parts now on
the screen. This picture will be
shown next month. The second is
''The Queen of Sheba," one of the
most spectacular productions that
has ever been screened. Betty
Blythe takes the part of the Queen,
and she gives characterization OF
this famous lady which is--well, call
it an eye-opener. Prominent the
ologians, who have always wondered
why it was that the late Solomon,
King of Israel, used to go around
babbling to himself in his later
years, tell us that it is all very clear
to them now, since seeing this pic
ture. Betty shows 'em.
Then to cap the climax, "a Con-
necticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" will be shown later on in the
summer. Everybody who has ever
laughed himself sick owed Mark
Twains tale of the resouceful New
Highlander who took the Kingdom of
Great Britain in hand, and the
Knights of the Round Table, and
few other things, and made loyal
Americans and good union men out
Of them in spite of themselves, will
never miss his picture. It's world
beaten.
Watch for the announcements, and
don't miss one of these pictures, or
you'll regret it the rest of your life.

TRADE EXPANSION

He merchants of Fsirmopt are making plans
i for their fall Trade Expansion Campaign which
will take place next month. There never was a
better time in the history of Fairmont for expand
ing Its trade and the proposition should have the
hearty support Of every merchant of this commun-
ity. With the manufacturing plants running full,
the coal mines producing coal on large scale,
and the railroad men back at work, there will be
plenty Of work at high wages during the fall and
winter, and as the coal shipped is being sold at
price that will net a good profit to the mine own
er, everyone will have money with which to supply
the needs that have accumulated during the bust
ness depression.
There will be good business in this entire valley
and 1t depends entirely on the merchants of Fair
mont whether or not they will receive their share
of the prosperity. If they have the required stock
of goods at right prices and will put some enter
prise into their business, they need not fear the
competition of neighboring cities. 1t depends en-
trely on the enterprise of the local merchants and
each one of them should enter whole heartedly
into the Trade Expansion Campaign The more
each one puts into the campaign, the more benefit
they will derive from it.

STATE SHOULD TAKE ACTION

y report to Governor Morgan, Warden j. o.
Terrell Of the state penitentiary at Moundsville
makes the recommendation that the state estap.
ish state farm to which those prisoners convict
ed of crime for the first time should be sent The
warden gives two reasons for his recommendation:
First. that the penitentiary is over-crowded, It
having facilities to properly take of only one
thousand prisoners while the number at the end
of June, 1922, was 1902; 1T has only been by the
efficient management of the institution that the
prisoners have been kept in healthy condition
Second, that 1T is detrimental to the welfare Of
the first offenders, especially young men SEN
fenced for short terms to be associated with the
older and more confirmed class of criminals.
1t is suggested by the warden that the state
purchase large tract of tillabe land in some ac-
cessible part Of the state and that wooden build
ings be erected for the housing Of the prisoners
sent to the farm. suitable location Of fertile land
that would meet the requirements OF such farm
can be found along the Ohio River between Park
ersburg and Huntington, and 1t is stated that such
a farm would not only be self sustaining but that
the surplus products could be furnished other state
institutions.
The rapid increase in the population Of the PEN
entfary has been due in part to the general crime
that has swept over the country, to the in
crease in the population Of the state and to the
vigorous enforcement OF the state laws. Contrary
to the general opinion, only comparatively small
number of prisoners sent to the state penientiary
during the past year was due to the prohibition
laws, the number amounting to but 1s1 out of
total of $40 admitted to the state institution dur
ing the past year.
The records show that the crime for which the
largest number were sent to the penitentiray was
grand larceny
The suggestion of Warden Terrell is one that
will appeal to the common sense of the people of
West Virginia and which no doubt will have their
hearty approval. The session of the legislature
which will convene next January should give earn.
est consideration to the Warden's suggestion and
provide the farm recommended.

FORTUNATE FOR UNITED STATES.

HE, refusal of the Republican Senate to
the Treaty OF Versailles and the Coven-
ant of the League Of Nations is once more being
indicated by events In Europe. BY this refusal
the United States was kept out OF the League Of
Nations. Her membership therein would have
bound her irreyocably to participate in all Euro
pean matters; to have helped maintain the bound
aries and division of territory as fixed by the
Treaty Of Versailles
Europe is again on the verge OF a general war
involving practically all the nations that were al
ediagainst Germany during the World War. This
newawar Is made imminent by the war which has
beens going on between Greece and Turkey over
Boundaries and territory which were fixed under
The Treaty of Versailles.
The war between these two nations is in itself
IN defiance Of the Treaty OF Versailles and the
League OF Nations. The fact that 1t has been going
conclusive proof of the futility and mpotency
ef the League Of Nations, whose sole excuse for
existence Is its pretended ability to maintain peace
in Europe, primarily and throughout the world as

At no time since the creation OF the League
OF Nations has there been peace in Europe al
though none Of the wars that have been going
pnssnceA the League was created has approached
