The Standard Oil Company

of oil 3 cents a gallon. The
Wilmington Star figures out
that the people Of this country
consume 976, 900 900 gallons Of
oil a year, which means $780,
$780, 900 more revenue for the
oil trust each year. And yet
we sometimes hear trusts de-
Tended on the ground that they
have cheapened the price of
commodities to the consumer.
As the oil trust controls the oil
market it can, If it chooses,
advance the price Of oil, which
is necessity, 5 cents or 10 cents
per gallon just as easily as it
can advance it 3 cents, and it
will probably do this by de-
grees. The match trust is also
a case in point. The price Of
matches was recently advanced
80 per cent. and the quality has
been cheapened-the grade Of
matches sold now beinginferior
to those sold before the ad-
vance in price, Statesville

is being built from both ends and

the cuts at Laird, which will be
about the windup.

had the effect of keeping many of the
less skillful from taking part.
The match in which the champion of
Hawaii, Mrs. c. A. Elston, and the Ala
media champion, Miss E. Hunter. came
together, was the most stubbornly con-
tested and fastest of the tournament.
Miss Hunter won the first set-7-5. In the
second set Mrs. Elston led at 81. when
her opponent braced, and by the steady
use or her swift chop stroke, ran the
score to Sc, only to lose the next two
ga mes. and the set, at 6-s. Mrs. Elston
started serving in the final set, and won
her game handily. From this point each
prayer won her service game, which was
unusually severe, until Mrs. Elston led
at 5-4, and 1t became apparent to the
spectators that the loss of a service game
would probably cost the loser the match.
sure enough, Mrs. Elston lost the eleventh
game on her service, and Miss Hunter.

set, the entire score being rs. s-s. rs.
