Notes From The
County Agents Office

Considerable interest was dis
played by the potato growers at
Powell last week in the seed plot
demonstrations. Over fifty farmers
were present at one or more of the
meetings.
The purpose of these demonstra-
lions is to acquaint the potato grow
ers with the value of seed selec-
ton, and Identification of the COM
mon diseases which may be CON
trolled to a certain extent by rogu-
ing during the growing season.
A large percent of potato grow
ers in any section of the country
still continue to sell their best po-
tatoes and keep what they cannot
sell as market stock, for seed. This
practice has caused potato sections
to become badly infested with di-
seases that cut the yield from 20
to 70 per cent. Consequently the
cost of production is becoming pro-

toes If the farmers will exercise a
reasonable amount Of care.
Imagine the results, if the screen
ings from the threshing machine
and tanning mills were used for
seed grain. Potato growers as a
rule do that same thing, and the
results are similar.
1t will take years to overcome the
damage that has been wrought by
planting Gull seed potatoes, and
the sooner a general start is made
to change the old practice to a
practical breeding basis, the sooner
potato growers can look for a low

1t has become increasingly evil
dent during the past three months,
judging from complaints and cor
respondence reaching the office of
the Commissioner of Labor and
Statistics that in many localities
the Wyoming avs relating to the
conditions under which female la
Dor may be employed are being
partially evaded or disregarded al
together.
Accompanying this accumulation
of evidence is a vigorous and CON
% certed demand that any and all
such violations shall be investigat-
ed Immediately by this department.
which is delegated to enforcement
of laws governing female labor,
and that prosecutions shall be in
stituted when more peaceful meth
DDS fail to bring about a correc-
ton of unlawful conditions, wheth-
err committed wilfully or through
ignorance.
Harry c. Hoffman, commission
er of labor, has been for some time
conducting a survey of the state
n announces that he will begin
at once the circulation of informa-
tive data on this subject which
will be followed at once by a Wig
orous campaign of enforcement.
which will be kept up until the
spirit and the letter of all laws
for protection of the girls and
women of the state shall be uni
formally observed and respected.
In this connection Mr.. Hoffman
makes the following statement.
Wyoming has during the past
few a placed upon its statute
books several remedial laws govern
ing the employment of women
which have aided materially in i'm
proving conditions under which
such persons are employed. While
considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced at times, with 10th en-
ployer and employee, in the enforc-
ment of these laws. this depart
ment adopted a policy of helpful CO.
operation with those showing of
a desire to adapt themselves to
changing conditions and resorting
to prosecutions only when all
other methods of adjustment have
failed.
During the 1928 session of the
Legislature a new law for the bene-
fit of women employed in certain
industries was passed. This limits
h hours women may work in
any occupation. with a few minor
exceptions. to Sh hours in any one
day and to Sc hours in any one
week. BY the terms of this law
no woman working six days a week
shall be required or permitted to
exceed Sh hours in any single day
nor a total of 81 hours in any
week. In cases of employment
seven days per week the same
daily limit of Sh hours per day
obtains and the total number of
hours each week must not exceed
Sc.
The law also provides that every
such employer shall keep posted in
an open and conspicuous place in
each room where such females are
at work a copy of this act printed
in such form and style as may be
easily read. In the future a limit
ed time will be allowed employers
of female help to show cause why
action should not sbe instituted
against them for violation of this
feature of the law. In default of
any response thereto. or of suf-
ficient reason or other showing,
within the time allowed, the matter
will be placed before the attorney
general with appropriate recon-
mendation.

the passion and death of the Saviour
may be fttingly observed and that
His great life and example may strike

OAKLAND HOMEMAKERS'
CLUB is ORGANIZED
Mrs. ID. S. Davis, President of
Newly Formed Organization.

With a membership of twenty-six
women the Oakland Homenfakers
Club was organized at a meeting held
in the Parish House of st. PauPs NJ.
E. church here on Friday last.
The. officers of the club, chosen at
this meeting are as follows: Presi-
dent, Mrs. D. S. Davis; vice-president,
Mrs. c. A. Shilke; secretary, Mrs. S.
D. Whipkey; treasurer, Miss NJ. ].
Roberts.
A constitution, governing the club,
was presented, read and after making
some changes and additions, it was
adopted.
The club was formed under the di-
rection of Miss Lola Belle Green, the
County Home Demonstration Agent,
working under the direction of the
State Extension Department. Miss
Green addressed the club and gave a
very interesting talk on the proper
ties of certain foods and the need of
these properties to keep the body in
a healthy state, dwelling especially
upon the needs of children in their
daily diet. This constituted the first
lesson of the present years work and
was greatly appreciated by the mem
bers of the club. Miss Green in clos
ing her address expressed the hope
that she may please and interest the
women so that Oakland may have
large and enthusiastic club of home
makers.
The lessons this year will deal with
foods and their nutritive elements. A
demonstration in which meat, three
vegetables and a dessert, or a full
meal, was cooked in fifteen minutes
and was served to those present.
The second meeting of the club will
occur at two o'clock on the third Fri
day of next month, when another les
son and demonstration will be given.

LARGE STILL NEAR WILSON
CONFISCATED MONDAY
Unknown Man In Charge Made
Get Away When He Saw Pro-
hibition Officers Approaching

With the approach of Prohibition
Enforcement Officers Cleveland D.
Jarvis, of the Maryland Division, ac-
companied by Agent H. R. Stotler, of
Keyser, West Va, one man was seen
to run through the woods from a hut
located in a valley through which
mountain stream flows four miles east
of Wilson, Garrett county, Monday
afternoon, hence the only quarry cap
tured as result of the investigation
made by the officers was the capture
of a 200-gallon still, 1000 gallons of
mash, IS gallons of whiskey, 300
pounds of sugar, 500 pounds of grain
and cases of yeast, all of which the
officers destroyed before leaving the
scene by setting fire to the building
and seeing that it was completely
consumed, following which they made
a report of the capture to their super
Tors and returned to their base of op-
erations.
The officers, prior to their visit to
Wilson on Monday afternoon, had rea-
son to suspect that still was located
in that community and going on
still hunt it was located after short
survey of the ground through which
they were travelling.

YOUNG MARRIED MAN is
FOUND DEAD IN ROADWAY
Father of Three Small Children
Died Suddenly on Monday

Adam Schroyer, aged % years, the
father of three small children, was
found dead along the roadway near
White Rock, miles west of Hoyes
on Monday morning.
1t is said that Schroyer was on his
way home from the residence of a
neighbor when he was overcome with
an attack of epilepsy and died as a
result of exposure.
The finding of the body of the dead
man gave rise to rumors of various
kinds, one being that he had met
with foul play, having been seen with
companion at or near the spot
where the body was later found. A
post mortem examination was held
yesterday by States Attorney Rem
ringer, who impanneled a jury Of in
auisition, the body rendering verdict
that death was due to natural causes.

OLD NORTHWESTERN PIKE
INTEREST ONTHE INCREASE
West Union Joins In Project to
Have the Highway Completed
Through West Virginia.

The members of the West Union
West Va) Kiwanis Club expressed
their interest in the early completion
of the Northwestern Turnpike at their
regular weekly luncheon held in XII
wants Hall last Friday evening.
Three members of the Northwest
ern Turnpike Association, Oscar C.
Wilt, banker; N. R. Garland, secre-
tary Of the Chamber of Commerce,
and ]. E. Matthews, all of Clarksburg,
were present at the meeting and all
made addresses in favor of an early
completion of this leading highway
across the State east and west. They
showed that their association is not
only interested in the completion of
the road at as early date as posi-
BILE, but the desire of taking up the
matter Of advertising this road which
travels across the State, giving a
much shorter route than any other and
traverses one of the most picturesque
and beautiful mountain sections of
the entire country. These gentlemen
maintained that the opening of this
road across the entire State would
mean more to the people along the
route than anything else that could
happen. The revenue derived from
these tourists would be almost an in
credible amount
Nj. Wilt made the statement that it
would mean more to the business in
terests of West Union alone than the
payroll of the largest enterprise in
Clarksburg. He urged the people, and
especially the members of the club to
get behind the movement and help
push it across and then help to beau
tify this highway and tell of the Won
ders of this region to the world by a
thorough system of advertising. He
urged the people to get ready for it
and be prepared to give tourists a
welcome and good impression when
they come so they will come back
again.

YOUNG MEN ARE ARRESTED
FOR SHOOTING UP TOWNS
Rode Train Between Cumberland
and Grafton and Shot AT Peo-
pie Along The Route.

Two youths, charged with a series
of crimes committed in Taylor and
Preston counties, West Va, were ar
rested after a gun battle in the rail
road yards in Grafton and are being
held in the jail there awaiting trial
on number of more or less serious
charges.
The youths gave their names as Roy
Swiger, aged 10, of Clarksburg, and
James Cochran, aged IS, of Mt. Clare,
near Clarksburg. They were en- route
from Pittsburgh to their homes and
were riding freight train. The
young men were both intoxicated and
had in their possession a quart of
wlliskey and a rife. AS the train
passed through Keyser, Bloomington,
Tunnelton, Newburg and other towns
along the route between Cumberland,
Vt which point they boarded the train,
nd Grafton, the two youths amused
themselves by taking pot shots at per-
sons near the railroad tracks.
When the train reached Grafton Off
GERS, who had been notified by tele-
phone of their presence on the train,
attempted to effect their arrest. Bal
timore and Ohio Officer c. F. Dunno
gan and State Trooper J. w. Waddell
were in the railroad yards when the
train pulled in and made an effort to
arrest the two men. One of them
opened fire upon Dunnegan with the
rife and the officer returned the fire
with his revolver. The two boys then
leaped from the train and attempted
to escape. They were captured on the
b; nks of stream near the railroad
II ks after they had run consider
al distance.
Charges of transporting moonshine,
p sessing high-power rife, resist
il arrest, promiscuous shooting and
t ain riding were made against the
j1air in Taylor county.
Investigation has led to the discov-
cry that Swiger is wanted fer COM
plicity in the robbery of B. & 0.
railroad train at Wilsonburg some
weeks ago. The youths are to be held
in Grafton for hearings on the charge
preferred in Taylor county and will
then be taken to Kingwood to face
charges of illegal shooting in the
Preston county towns. They may also
be taken to Clarksburg for trial on the
train robbery charge at Wilsonburg.
