Major Murphy cables: "Begin shipping at once one and one-half million each knit-* ted mufflers, sweaters, socks and wristlets. There are desparately needed before cold weather. In view of the shortage of fuel and other discomforts they will be of Incredible value In botl} military and civilian work. t Last winter broke the record t | for cold and misery among the s people here.

Thousands of Belgian and French refugees and repatriates are being returned through Switzerland to France." The Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross, under the direction of Miss Florence M. Marshall, has prepared c directions with complete information c as to the knitted articles asked for ^ by Major Murphy. The circular which will be available to any woman who . applies to the nearest Red Cross . chapter, tells exactly how to obtain . yarn, detailed knitting instructions, j and where to send the garments for : immediate shipment to France.

XTlI HiCtlf WARRANT IffflEGULAR ITTHEARRESI HELD So Monongah Man wifl Have to Answer in Two Courts. The preliminary hearing In the case o 1 Taroffino Jobblon of Monongah, charged with Illegal selling and with baring a wine distillery In bis bouse, was held before Justice M. R- Musgrove yesterday afternoon, The dedefendant was represented by Attorney Ernest Bell and the interest! of the state were cared for by Prosecuting Attorney Walter Haggerty. The trial was attended by many auditors. It developed at the hearing that the warrant on which the man was arrest-, ed was not in legal form and that the | return by tho constable making the arrest was not properly made out. At- a torney Bell attempted to have the prls- L1 oner released on these grounds but j the Squire overruled the opinion. jl A five gallon jug containing a por-j} tlon of the wine seized at the timejV was brought Into court and a hasty |, examination was made of It to ascer- I tain whether or not it contained more 5 than the legal amount of alcohold. No conclusions could bo arrived at as a nnnivsis will he necessary to! authoritatively state the exact per cent of alcohol contained therein. : Justice Musgrove held Jobbion for '' I tho action of the grand jury which J meets here on November 12. The I bond required was $500 to appear before the grand jury and $500 to secure j the prisoner from selling liquor pend- 11 ing the settlement of the case now . against him. Immediately after the Justice ren- i" dered his decision in the case the prisoner was taken up by Deputy United States Marshal John Moore. The preliminary hearing before Unitled States Commissioner ICirby was j waived and a bond of $500 was placed j I on the man. The amount was tutis-l factorily secured and the prisoner was I released. He will appear before the Federal court at Martinsburg on September 18 to answer the charge. One Traffic Offender In Police Court R. H. Ballah was the only one to ap- II pear at police court this horning. Bal-1| lah was charged with passing a stand- j I ing street car and was summoned to appear at the regular nine o'clock session of police court this morning. He appeared as summoned but knew nothing of the offense. The case was postponed until eleven o'clock at which time Traffic Officer Ward was present and testified in the case. Ballah was found guilty of the offense and given a fine amounting to two dollars which he paid. 8BSK35BBSBB0B085BS8S EVENT| r19171 splay I iloring Co. g d customers pt 5 1 Mid Fit j| il Satisfaction |l Tailoring Concern on ev- w atter What the Cost | u will find our showing to better Grades Cor- ? espondingly Low. 8 customer is our aim.
