Chamber of Commerce
Committee Will Meet
- This Afternoon.
%
Indications this afternoon % re
that tonight's meeting of the Clumber
of Commerce's War Memorial
"committee, which will be held at
tjic rooms of the chamber, will prove
interesting. Citizens have been talking
to the membeis about the project
and it is expected there will be a general
exchange of views, and perhaps
some steps will be taken to encourage
expressions of opinion upon the part
of the public for the guidance of the
members of the committee in formulating
their program.
It is also expected that the proposition
to cn'arge the committee to
take in the people of the county dls
fLk itL3 au~4 wi o v?
ganizations will also some up tonight
and that some action will be taken
Bearing directly upon this natter.

a letter from John Burchiaal,

REGIMENTAL INFIRMARY. 210th
ENGINEERS. CAMP MILLS. X. Y..
Lee. 2, 1918.?[Editor The West Virglni&a.j?Taking
advantage of your
invitation to the public to avail Itself
of the columns of your paper tor the
presentation of its views regarding
the scope and character of the pro
posed Memorial to the citizens of the
county who have participated in the
great war. I am moved to express the
gratification all men in the service
must feel, who know the interest that
is being manifested In the discussion
of this project. The apparent desire
of those who have interested themselves,
thus far, in the-project seems
I to be the accomplishment of a thing
o&such importance, as to fittingly perpetuate
the memory of those who
* have sacrificed themselves in our be,
half, and to reflect credit upon the
community.
It mart seem to me. then, that the
attainment cf such an ideal would
not be fulfilled in the addition to, or
in the^ further embellishment of any
commercial monument, especially one
which expresses, merely .the city's inArnanqton
?? rlnr??j fh*> rt^xc
IMonongahela river bridge .
The bridge, acmiraoly designed as
yx it is. would require important changr
es in its design to express, throughout.
its commemorative character. For
, i I do net believe that the placing or a
? i- . detached monument on, or near, the
' ' bridge would be considered as being
a' the proper expression of the county's
'y , sentiment. In view of these facts,
and the fact that the bridge is of more
local than general interest, it is doubtX
. ful if any effort toward using the
jsgji Jr bridge as a county memorial would I
evince any particular enthusiasm \
among many of cur citizens.
There are. however..certain definite j
things, for which the need in Marion

Advice Furnished by t>
the Government. d
ff
Yesterday afternoon a number ot a
expert gardeners about the city, aijd , fr
Cooifty Farm Agent W. E. McComas. jil
got together and arranged for an : a
organized garden division of the .
Fat in bureau. Each person joining i J1
will have all Farm bureau service !
and in addition an expert gardener |
wilt be employed by the United States :
Department of Agriculture who will
visit each member in this city and
aid in the malting of gardens a thorough
success. _?
Real estate people interested have
agreed tc turnish land for people who
have none, without charge. It Is stated
on. good authority that food products
w:!l not drop much in price this
coming year and people who want to n'
cut down the cost of table living can Ci
do so by payin2 more attention to a *
properly planted and tended gardes ?<
?more attention this coming year i
than ever before.
County Agent McComas is covering 81
the entire county this week - and is 12
encouraging all members and those d
who wish to become members of the
Farm bureau to work farms this coming
.year as never before. This week's E
drive is for the special purpose of $;
proving to all land owners beyond the P;
possibility of p. doubt the necessity for fc
continued food conservation and food a<
production, so that no food famine
can possibly tonch either ourselves or
our. allies, and with the immense 1\
work on our hands of feeding a great
part of the world, a possibility of
food famine is not altogether a foolish
dream. , t
Fifty cents membership fee for city
gardeners is asked. This money will q
be kept separate from the regular b<
funds of the Farm bureau and next hi
Call will be used for prizes and inci- ?s
dental expenses. d:
