the way Is It can'tonment, canJ'l
ton'ment or cantone'ment? Webster
doesn't decide between the first two,
and the public seem about equally divided
in their use of all three pronun
clations. Strictly speaking, however,
"camp" Is probably nearer the correct
I word than "cantonment," although
K the government makes use of the latter.
WebBter says a "camp" Is "the
K ground on which an army pitch tents"
M jind a "canonment" Is "a part of a
Mown or village assigned to a particu*^ar
body of troops." Better use "camp"
and not be bothered about the proi

Fairmonters who have been accustomed
to watching the ponies go are
v regretting that there will be no Fair'
njont Fair this year This omission,
however, need not keep the owners of
prize herds or the woman who thinks
her jellies and cakes are "poems" and
"masterpieces from seeking other
worlds to conquer. The fair season
has come, and neighboring towns are
sending out the Macedonian cry,
"Come over and help us."
Pennsboro, as usual opened West
Virginia fair season, in what is said
to have been the most successful fair
ever held there. The State Fair at
Wheeling occupies the field during the
week of September 3-8, and undoubtedly
will attract an unusual number of
Falrmonters Clarksburg, profiting by
pasl experiences, offers only three
days entertainment, September 11, 12.
and 13, but these should be record
breaking days. Weston, whose fair tor
years has been an institution of Lewis
county, promises the best program In |
n decade. Buckhannon, too, offers attractive
entertainment for the week,
following. The agricultural feature of
the various falr8 will have unusual
prominence this year, due not only to
-the efficient work of the West Virgin !
la Agricultural Department, but also |
to the growing realization among pro '
moters that on the agricultural inter-!
ests depend: the future of the county ,
fair. The man who likes to watch 'em
come up the homo stretch is a good
patron, but the man who wants to
know of Mary "How Does Your Gar
den Grow?" is the man who brings a
whole family of patrons.

(BY HOWARD MANN.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.?Hundreds of
thousands of American mothers are
giving up their sons to help "keep
the world safe for democracy,' but
lew of them are facing the heartbreaking
experience of Mme. Schumann-Heink,
who is sending one of
her sons to the American navy where
he may have to fight against his
"brother in the German navy.
Two other sons and her son-in-law
are in the draft age, and may he
celled lo bear arms against their
brother and other near elatives in
the German and Austrian armies. The
youngest son is not eligible to draft.
The daughter of an Austrian officer,
with the traditions of generations
of Teutonic militarists behind her,
I Mme. Schumann-Heink can look philosophically
on the system which calls
her sons to war; but the idea of
| rending one sou to light against the
[ other is crushing her mother's heart.
"What do 1 think about having my
sons lighting against each other?
sometimes I dare not think oi it, it
| is too terrible," she told mo today.
"If there were a war of defense I
would send them cheerfully but to
