AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

The American Legion deeply re-
grets' the fact that we omitted our
most interested patrons from the
Honor Roll in the last issue of The
Mail and hope that we will be able
to rectify the mistake in saying Mr.
A. B. Riley, the popular manager Of
Fred Harvey's at Winslow with his
great patriotic ideas has been the
prime mover and initial contributor
to the Fourth Of July funds, also we
wish to mention that Mr.. F. D.
Howe, owner of the Ideal Laundry,
is another patriot who came to the
assistance of the Legion with money
and good advice. So we hope our
mistake will not be held in mind
and the good wishes we have enjoy
ed from the public spirited citizens
will be continued. In this connec-
tion we wish to add some more of
the business men of Winslow to our
Honor Roll:
| j. G. Lathrop,
Winslow Hotel,
Central Drug Co.,
Greaves and Dye,
| A. E. Gillard.

shape like a narrow meat dish. 1t
runs east and west. and slightly
tilted from north to south. To the
north the land slopes pleasantly
upward in pasture and orchards,
and here was the site of the Penny
Green Garden Home Development
Scheme. Beyond the site, a con-
siderable area, stands Northrepps,
the seat Of Lord Tybar. Lord Ty-
bar sold the Development site to
the developers, and. as he signed
the deed Of conveyance, remarked
in his airy way, "Ah, nothing like
exercise, gentlemen. That's made
every one Of my ancestors turn in
his grave" The developers litter
ed respectfully as BELTS men who
had landed a good thing.

Press Room at Zero Hour
a Busy Scene Every
Afternoon

Between the hours Of 4 o'clock,
the usual time for The West Vir.
ginian to go to press, and 6 o'clock
each evening, more than 5000 pa
pers are placed In the hands OF the
people Of Fairmont and Marion
County. This is made possible BY
the energetic work Of more than
$50 men and boys who are respon
sible for the distribution.
Every day 4 o'clock is the zero
hour In the press room, and tho
few minutes which precede /
o'clock are filled with action in
preparation for the jumping OF, or
the placing Of all the bundles which
go out on the interurban cars and
the trains at that time. All OF this
Is done SO that tho bundles Of pa
pers will reach all OF tho suburban
agents on time. The West Virgin.
ian realizes the Importance OF get.

live out along the car lines and on

view every effort is made to get

nearly 100 suburban towns in Ma.

the bundles are counted, wrapped,
dispatched and placed on the 4
O'Clock cars and trains in less than
ten minutes each evening. To do
this, The West Virginian has spared
no expense in its effort to give Its
readers perfect service.
Out in the suburban towns,
plucky little fellows stand ready
to receive their bundle OF papers
and deliver them to their subscrIb'
