TWO CENTS
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
Board of Regents to Meet Sep
TENDER 23.

Call has Been Issued by Secretary
Stewart by Direction of President
C0wden-Hard Time fer Students to
get Rooming and Boarding Places.
The Board of Regents will meet 10
Morgantown'on Tuesday September
Esd. A call to that effect has been
issued by the secretary Of the board
upon direction OF the President OF
that body. All of the regents arc ex-
pected to be in Morgantown for the
meeting which will be an important
one.
Several new members of the faculty
will have to be chosen, One OF these
is of a man to take charge of the en-
cheering department. This depart
ment will be seriously handicapped
unless something OF this kind Is done.
Prof Il. L. Morris has declined TO ac-
cept the position and some other Sc
lection will have to he made.
Two or three members OF the sta
tion stan have resigned and these va
cancies will have TO be filled also.
There will be lots OF things for the
board to get busy with and their esti-
mate Of what they will need from the
legislature will be discussed.
Students are making arrangements
for rooms and boarding and great
many of them have already been
placed through Prof. Barbe and 9TH
ers The old students will find
places for themselves but the new ones
will have to hustle. There will be
lots of fun connected with hunting
rooms by the last 100 students who
come in.
From all indications the records for
attendance will be broken again this
year. Inquiries are coming in in very
large numbers and from every part OF
the state the outlook is most encour-
aging. As noted .above the problem
will be to take care of the young peo-
pie who will be here. However many
people will take students to room or
board who would not think of taking
any other class Of people. This con-
dition will relieve the congestion
somewhat.
Members of the tfaculty are strag.
CLING back to beiready TO take hold of
their work when the institution opens
It's doors on September Is. Most Of
them are back at home from their va
cations but several are yet away.

he said: Don't you remember that
the Bible says that one cannot fore
tell what day will bring FORTH"

TROUBLE Is CAUSED
BY BELL COMPANY.
Raises the Rates and the Citizens are
Indignant-T0 Hold mass Meeting.

PARKERsBURG, Sept. 3-Parkers-
burg people are up in arms over the
action of the Central District &
Printing Company, better known as
the Bell Telephone Company, which
has arbitrarily raised the rate to sub
scribers. Notices were received
through the mail Sunday morning by
all subscribers announcing that after
the first of November the rate for
residences, which has been SIS year
would be increased to $50 and the
business Office rate would be increased
from $21 to $50 year. The fact
that the company has recently built a
new office building and installed a
metallic system was assigned as rea-
sons for the increase. 1t was at once
conjectured that the Independent
Telephone Company, which has been
in business here for four years and has
over 500 subscribers, had come under
the control of the Bell company or
that it had entered into contract
with the Bell to raise rates. But in
vestigation shows this TO be mis-
take 1t offers to make five year con-
tracts at the present rates. A mass
meeting Of citizens was called for to-
night 20 take action in regard TO the
increase in rates, but many indignant
citizens have not waited for the meet
ing or for any concerted action, but
have ordered out their telephones at
once. 1t is said that an effort will tie
made to have the franchise declared
void, as at the time it was passed it
was said there were Irregularities
about it. The Bell people have stir
red up hornets nest and will lose
many subscribers.
