posed Festival.

At the meeting of Hutton Grange

lowing tentative program for the six
weeks succeeding was adopted: A
young peoples festival on the after
noon and evening of August 10Th, to

will be held during the second week
of September The Hutton Commu-
nifty Fair will be held during the last
week of September and just preceding
the County Fair.
The literary program will be main

gram will be shortened to meet these
conditions.
At the last meeting there was the
aal fine singing and a reading by

Notes from Sunnyside Grange.

A very enjoyable evening was spent
at our last meeting. Instead of pro-
gram by the men, we had ice cream
and pie, which was greatly enjoyed by
all present.
We as a body of Changers, want to
extend our thanks to the good broth
ers for their generous treat After the
ice cream was served we had a short
song service by both men and women
The women will furnish our pro-
gram at the next meeting, August 25,
but will appreciate any help the men
may render along that line. Messrs.
Yutzy, Gortner and Stahl. the chal-
lenge is still open, so why not start
the ball to rolling.
At our next meeting we are going
to. discuss whether or not we shall
hold Community Fair sometime this
fall. Some of the members suggest
ed at the last meeting that fair and
picnic combined be held. We hope to
have large attendance and all take
part in the discussions. REPORTER.

FIRE AT TERRA ALTA THIS
MORNING BURNED STORE
Offutt-Lakin Building Complete
ly Observation-Disclosures Fire
Department Responds to Call

Responding to call for aid in fight
ing a fire which broke out in the large
Offutt-Lakin store building at Terra
Alta, West Va, ten miles west of
Oakland at three o'clock this morn
ing, Mayor Fraley and the Oakland
Fire Department hurried to the neigh
boring town and lent what help they
could in an effort to save from de-
struction the building and surround
ing properties. The fire, however, had
made such Roadway in the Offutt-La-
kin building that nothing could be
done and efforts were then centered
upon adjacent property with the re-
suit that aside from the property in
which the fire had its inception no
other owners suffered loss.
The burned building belonged to the
D. E. Offutt estate upon which an in
surance for $4,000 was in effect.
1t was occupied by Messrs. Keith
Wiles and his partner, Mr.. Casseday,
as general mercantile store and was
well stocked with goods, much of
which was burned.
In addition to the Oakland and Ter
ra Alta fire departments the King
wood department was also present and

TWO CARS WRECKED NEAR
CRELLIN SUNDAY NIGHT
Occupants Of One Cut by Flying
Glass, Another Bruised.

Two persons were more or less pain
fully hurt and two automobiles We're
badly wrecked on the Oakland Crel-
lin road Sunday evening at eight
o'clock when they came together on a
sharp curve at point just below the
Inn, near Crellin.
One of the cars, Chevrolet coupe,
driven by Joseph Littman, of Oak
land, was going west toward Crellin
ard the other, a new Studebaker Sc
dan, said to be owned by R. L. Currey,
a banker of Parsons, West Va, who
had as his companions William Har-
mon, lawyer, also of Parsons, and
two young women named Right, of
near Oakland, were coming toward
town when it is claimed by Harmon,
who was driving the car, that his
brakes locked and caused the vehicle
to skid into the Littman car, which
spun about on the roadway. The Par
sons car, with it's passengers, left the
road and plunged over a culvert wall
to the earth below, wrecking it to
some extent To get the car back
on the highway required the brushing
out of roadway through the UNDER
growth.
One of the Misses Right received a
badly lacerated knee and was other
wise cut by flying glass, while Mr..
Harmon was bruised very painfully
about his chest when he was forced
against the steering mechanism of the
machine as it plunged over the wall,
Tuesday night Currey, accompanied
by garage man from Parsons, came
to Oakland where he arranged for
the repairs to be made to the Littman
car and paid a fine of S25 and costs
for not reporting the accident within
the time limit.
Mildred Wolfe, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Wolfe, of Oakland, sus-
tanned broken collar bone and two
fractured ribs on last Thursday night
when an automobile in which she was
riding was wrecked on the Oakland
Accident road. The injured girl was
brought to town by Roy O. Winters
and her injuries were dressed by a
local physician.

The Proposed Seventh Annual
Picnic of the Knights of Pyth-
las to be Held Labor Day.

Progressive strides are being made
in connection with the Labor Day pic
mic to be held in Oakland on Monday,
September 9Th, under the auspices of
Garrett Lodge, No. lib, Knights of
Pythias.
Unprecedented interest is evidenced
by the enthusiasm displayed at each
successive conference of the picnic
committee. The placards and other
advertising but partially convey the
actual scope and magnitude of this
picnic. Many new features, both in
the parade and at the grounds will be
noticeable. Some definite announce
ments will be given in later report
of the committees activities. Thus
far the picnic machinery is function
ing perfectly.
Without the loyal support of our
friends from neighboring localities
and our local citizens, success will not
attend our efforts
We take this opportunity of extend
ing hearty thanks to everyone who
has in any way contributed to the sue
cess enjoyed in former years. The
committee feels confident of the nee
essary cooperation on the part of the
public and depends upon the continu-
ance of the same generous interest
and patronage.

HIGHWAY In W. VA. WILL
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Northwestern Turnpike Follows
The Line Laid Down in 1888
by C--czet, French Engineer

The Northwestern Turnpike will
have been entirely rebuilt, it is ex-
pected, within the year and West Vir-
GINA will have rival of the National
Road, leading from Cumberland to
Wheeling.
Following the line of the turnpike
built in 1888, the modern State road
will have its beginning at Winchester,
Va, twenty-eight miles from Romney,
it will cross over the Allegheny
Mountains and drop down by a gentle
grade into the North Branch (Potom-
ac) Valley
After leaving Romney it starts on
its way west through fredericksburg
Gap. From there it will wind its way
to the Ohio River on to the West.
Were it not that the title, North
western Turnpike, had so much at
tached to it, the highway would un-
doubtedly be called the Crozet Road,
in honor of its original designer and
builder
The turnpike was constructed I'M
der the engineering skill of Claudis
Crczet, an officer under Napoleon
Bonapart if the Russian campaign
and later an instructor at West Point
Military Academy. His field note book
is still in the possession of the West
Virginia Road Commission. 1t was
his custom TO make his plans for
bridges IN this book and that they
were good is proven by the fact that
one wooden bridge built by him in
1888 will be retained in the new road
being constructed.
Through the Eastern part of the
State the road has been completed
and only short detours are found in
the Western part. The distance from
Parkersburg to Washington is prac-
tically the same as the distance from
Wheeling to Washington over the old
@atiQnal road.
R Although in crossing the state the
NllOle SySIeIH VI IlOulLdiHS fulfilling
from north to south are traversed, at
no place is the grade more than five
per cent. Uniformly on the whole
pike a uniform width of Fl feet is
maintained.
AS the state road from Charleston
to Parkersburg is completed it will
give a connecting link between the
Midland Trail in the Southern part
of the state with the Northwestern
turnpike in the Northern. This road
is about 700 miles long. About so
miles have been completed and the
remainder is expected to be finished
soon. This highway will make it
possible to visit all the big towns in
the-Northern part of the State with
out leaving hard roads.
Nearly all the new road passes
through the scenic section of West
Virginia. 1t is laid around Chestnut
Mountain, through the virgin forests
of Cheat river, and over Cheat Noun
tain at an elevation of 1900 feet
above the river.

When They Are Underweight.

A well balanced diet with an album
dance of milk, fruit and green veget-
ables, meals at regular hours, plenty
of sleep at night and nap during the
day, are recommended by DR.. J. H.
NJ. Knox, Jr., Chief of the State Bu-
reau of Child Hygiene, as safeguards
for all young children and especially
for the prospective frst-graders who
will enter school in the fall and who
have been found to be underweight
at the child health conferences that
have been held throughout the State
under the auspices of the State De-
partment of Health.
Commenting upon the fact that one
out Of every five children examined
during the early weeks of the sum-
mer were underweight, DR.. Knox said,
1.-TWO things should be remembered in
planning the daily routine of every
child. First, the necessity of a bal
anced diet; second, the Importance of
plenty of sleep. 90.
st is not possible to give hard and
fast rules" he continued, because
each child is law unto itself and
needs individual attention. Accord
ingly, all that we do at the Bureau
conferences is to suggest certain
things that are good for the average
child, and we ask each mother who
attends the conferences to take her
child to her doctor for specific advice.
A report is also sent from the Bureau
to the family doctor of every exami-
nation.
Zone does not have to hunt far for
some of the causes that are response
BILE for the under par condition of
some of the prospective first graders.
These causes are: too much candy and
other sweets and too little sleep. With
apologies to the person who invented
the famous phrase about an apple
day, we can say with equal certainty,
"a nap day to keep sickness away
for all young children. We talk
great deal about the high strung,
nervous child. A nap or a rest in
quiet airy room or on porch, in the
middle of the day, will do a great deal
to counterfeit the tendency to tant-
runs and will also give the child a
chance to store up reserve strength
Sometimes the underweight child
is benefited by a mid morning or
mid-afternoon lunch not lunch of
candy and cookies, all day suckers
and things of that sort, but by SIM
pie nourishing lunch--a glass Of milk
with a slice of bread and butter, or
possibly dish of junket or baked
apple with two or three graham crack
ers, if it does not interfere with the
appetite for the three regular meals.
Certain things are bad for all chill
dren and should always be avoided.
Among them are coffee or tea, fresh
baked bread, corn, cabbage, cucum-
bers, pickles, unripe fruit, cake, candy
or pie"
