STANDARD HELPS.

Why there should be such pre-
JUDGE against the Standard Oil
Company is not quite clear to the
people of a number of sections of
West Virginia, except as to the
SYSTEM" which Tom Lawson talks
about, which consists, perhaps, Of
side issues of the company itself,
forming a process of gambling. In
Harrison county the Standard has
brought about great development.
which has resulted and is now re-
sulting in great advantage to its peo-
pie IN a number of ways. The farm
ers have received thousands of dol
lars, where there have been produc-
ing wells. Other farmers all over
the county have been getting rentals
for years. Many have derived great
er prices for their products of the
farms. Laborers have received
much higher wages than before the
development began. Many persons
have been conducting boarding
houses with the price of board far
beyond what used to be their expec-
tations. Transfers have been
busily engaged and the breeding of
horses was thus encouraged. Black
smiths and wagon repairers have had
lots to do. Country merchants have
increased their business largely.
In fact, most every line has adj
vanced, all mainly as the result of
the Standards entrance into West
Virginia, and yet today the cry of
monopoly does not hold good. There
are many independent oil and gas
operators in Harrison county and
scarcely week passes that this pa
per does not note the chartering Of
additional Independent companies.
This would indicate that it is unfair
to denounce the Standard as having
an oppressive grip on the county.
And, all in all, when the facts are
considered, it will be readily seen
that such denunciations are mostly
prompted by prejudice and design
against the Standard.
There are but few farmers in the
county who deal with the Standard
and its branches, who regret the day
that concern entered Harrison coun-
ty to develop its oil and gas. Many
of them have been made independ-
emily rich by that entrance and
many others have become very we'll
to-do. Still others are in comfort
able circumstances, and yet Others
by the hundreds are more than pay
ing their taxes with rentals they re-
ceive from leases the Standard holds.
yea, they are keeping their farms up
and improving them with the rental
money.

There really should be no wonder,

Aenemic it unquestionably was.
Distressing to the vernacular of the
dav sit had never been worked for
what it was worth :" and possibly no
expression could more literally de-

else had ben productive of defective
circulation. Dry rot at the top and
cold feet. Endemic eruptions nat

had practically abandoned law for
the physics of finance, was at his
wits end, which is saying a great
deal. for if ever a man displayed
true genius, he did in maintaining

B. & o. HISTORY. =

The B. & o. upon five per cent.
basis, as by the action of the meeting
last month became the fact, marked
another epoch in the historical old
company's record which is contem-
poraneous with the railway develop
ment of the country. Still operat-
ing under the original charter, the
first instrument of the nature in the
world, it is the only one of the
pioneer companies continuing with
name unchanged. Familiar as
household words may be said of it
and thus an interest in what may
come to it, of good or of bad, more
widespread, perhaps, than felt for
any like corporation.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1905-08-14

Ups and downs the B. & o. has
had, and, usually, distinguished by
features fixing attention as out OF
the ordinary. Precedents it has es-
tablished without number and its
annals are replete with innovations
of pronounced influence upon trans
portation problems.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1905-08-14

The University of Railways, the
B. & o. came to be called, and as
have other institutions, ultimately
grew to manifest more pride in blue
than in red blood, so to speak. In
other words, resting on the past to
the exclusion of consciousness OF
the inadaptability and Anticipated
procedure to radivally changing
environment.

About Introducing.

One of the most difficult things a
young girl has 10 do is to Introduce
people. As a rule she is not expected
to do this. but there may be circum
stances under which she finds herself
with two older women. whom she must
make known to each other. The torm
OF introduction now is always: Mrs
So-and-So, may | present Mrs. Smith
Jones?" Mrs. Snrith-Jones' name is not
then repeated, as was done long years
ago. and it is understood that thu
younger woman is presented to the
older. This is a fine distinction not to
be regarded, except when the ages Of
the two women are markedly different.
A woman who is tactful can always
manage to say a few words after an
introduction that shall put the two
strangers at their ease. with a subject
of conversation. A young girl can
hardly be expected 10 do so. but if she
can,s so much the better.

The tiny baby should have her little

hal these spots do appear. the scalp
should be well rubbed with pure olive oil
for several days, after which the forma-
ton can easily be removed by means Of
a fine comb. Applications Of a warm
solution of boric acid will keep the
trouble away.
AS the child grows older, the hair
should be thoroughly washed every
week. Use several eggs and plenty OF
warm water. The simplest way is to
break the eggs in a small bowl Git is o

a little at a time through the hair and

such a simple way OF directing these

The present-day method of keeping
the hair bobbed all around is a most
excellent one. The difficulty of sham

strands and tangles every day is made
much easier for both mother and child.
The hair grows evenly. and it car safely

way until the little girl is II or IL years
old. After that, it can be permitted to
grow out, and by that time the infant
beauty-seeker will be able to attend to
her own glory-halo.
