On Sunday, 17th, Dr. Gelston of the First Presbyterian Church preached the Baccalaureate sermon. On Wednesday, 20th, the members of the senior class gave their annual exhibit in Science Hall.

"Someone's tampered with the bulletin board," declared the agent, rushing excitedly to the platform.

I followd closely.

We both stared at the board, then at uncle, then dropped into hysteria of laughter. The bulletin read:

"All trains on time-Sept. 1."-Exchange.

The state is promised one of the largest grain crops in its history. The wheat acreage is the largest in history and the grain, just ready to harvest, is first class. Growing corn is reported to be in perfect condition. Oats are off a little, but a large crop is anticipated. The prospects of a big grain crop is causing predictions that the drug and other trades will be booming before long. In Indianapolis many of the drug stores are doing little business aside from their ice cream soda trade.

A BUCKHANNON INSTITUTION.

Old, staid and dignified; old-fashioned enough in some ways to be characterized as quaint, the small city of Buckhannon, in Upsher county, West Virginia, is distinguished as the home of West Virginia Wesleyan College and Young's drug store.

Ordinarily a drug store is just a drug store; it may be a little better arranged and equipped than another establishment of its kind, but usually all bear about the same marks. Young's store is different. Mr. Young is different. Mrs. Young is different. For a good many years the Youngs have lived in Buckhannon and whatever success Mr. Young has gained, a large part of the credit is due to Mrs. Youngfor she is a wonder.

In no town in the United States the size of Buckhannon, will there be found a finer drug store than Young's-a broad statement, but

one made by all the travelers who have ever visited Mr. Young's place. He is sole owner of the establishment and conducts a branch store at Phillippi known as the Young and Windum store.

This well-established business is the result of a plan Mr. Young had in mind when he first engaged in the business, and now might sit back and watch it grow, but he keeps right on at work, employing an average of 15 clerks.

The building was planned to fit his individual needs, and has 11,000 square feet of floor space. It is three stories high, with basement and of fire-proof construction. In the retail store the ceiling is mahogany-beamed, the floor is of beautiful design in Mosaic tile. The Bangs' fixtures form one of the most elaborate outfits ever turned out by that firm. The fixtures are of selected solid mahogany of beautiful grain, with gold trimmings; all-glass shelving with mirrored backing; frameless plate-glass doors in all the fixtures. The fountain is onyx of the Bishop-Babcock-Becker make; there are seventeen show-case-top tables for fountain customers.

The Linolite system of lighting is in use inside the show windows and cases, while nineteen lanterns suspended from the cornice and illuminated from within make a striking

appearance.

There is a mahogany beam ceiling harmonizing with the remainder of the interior, the same idea having been carried out in making the telephone booths at the rear of the big room, which match the fixtures, have beautiful art glass doors and side panels illuminated from within. The telephones are for the use of the public, an independent service being maintained for the store.

The windows are remarkably elaborate, being of brass frame construction with verde antique marble base, prism lights above the transom bar while the overhead portion of each window is of varigated colors in art-glass set in copper and formed into a curve presenting a striking effect. The wood portion of the windows is mahogany with bevelled-plate mirror backs and plate-glass shelves along each side supported by metal brackets. In this one room the lights in use equal 5,000 candle power.

The office is situated on a mezzanine floor overlooking the ground floor, or retail portion of the establishment. Three and sometimes four persons are employed there. It is fitted with modern office appliances and everything is arranged for the expedition of work.

Mr. Young has his own electric light and power plant, located in the basement. Light is supplied for the drug establishment as well as
