Just where a woman's place should
be in time Of war is difficult, almost
impossible to answer.
Much depends upon the conditions of
the home, the woman, and most of all
the wish of her husband, who is always
better able to judge in such matters
what is best.
That which is distant can only be
seen IN large outline or felt through the
finer sense, that possesses every wife
the feeling Of intuition when danger
menaces her own.
For my own part simply cannot say
which is the Drawer thing to do--to go
where duty Is or where you feel it to
be, or to stay at home In obedience to
reason and advice of friends. Every
woman must decide that for herself

There arc slot machines where only

which money Is given. The last-named
are the most extensively patTonized, and
are the most demorallzlng.

staid bankers and merchants and pro-

Among the many beneacences OF the
Dingley tariff none has been Of greater
range than the Impetus given the wool
growing industry. Under the debllita-
ting and destructive Wilson measure
sheep husbandrY was ruined in this
country. and It is only just now recov-
ering from hamilton. on every slope
the aocks have increased and the farm
er has been amply rewarded for his In
vestments. Wool has advanced sharply
In price, and the upward tendency
promises to continue as long as the
general prosperous conditions prevail.
That reliable and conservative au-
thority the American Wool Reporter,
commenting on this feature of the wool
market says: at is claimed. and with a
fair show OF reason, that wool occupies
a very peculiar position at this time.
Other commodities, notably iron and
steel, nave experienced a marked ad-
vance in price. due almost entirely to
the great Increase in the general pros
perlty of the country. But wool. 1t is
asserted. Is now not only feeling the ef-
feet of the general prosperity, but is
also being Influenced by special condI-
lions. Therefore why, after the extra
ordinary advances which have been wit
messed in other commodities, should
there be any surprise over the present
upward movement In wOol?"

The Intell!gencer the other day called
attention to the Industrial activity in
southern West Virginia. and mentioned
in that connection several railroads
that were projected to AFFORD an outlet
for the product of the mines and the
forests. and we also noted the fact OF
several already building. Now comes
the assurance that the Hooking Valley
railroad will invade this territory to
reach the coal fields of that section Of
the state.
In a letter to the Manufacturers Re-
cord, Of Baltimore, Chief Engineer
Sheldon writes that surveys have re-
Gently been completed to ascertain the
best location for a connection between
the Hooking Valley and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio, and the estimates OF the
cost are now being prepared. The
former road terminates on the Ohio
river. extending for several miles along
the shore. BY building a bridge and
forty miles Of extension the connection
with the Chesapeake & Ohio could be
made at Charleston.
The Hooking Valley system is about
$50 miles long, and reaches many of the
most important manufacturing in
Ohio. 1t has train service direct to To-
ledo, Columbus and Upper sandusky.
and through its connections reaches
Detroit, also Chicago. the latter city by
way of the Chicago & Erie railroad. BY
the connection referred to 1t would form
the nearest route to many of the princi-
pal manufacturing towns in Ohio from
the West Virginia coal fields, thus ex-
tending the market for the mining dis
trlct along the Chesapeake & Ohio.
