People who know Governor Glass
cock realize that there Is not much
"gas" In what he says about n proluc-
tlon Tux to save our State from an nm
nunl loss OF millions each year and
from which we get next to nothing In
return. II the governor goes after the
taxation on gas MS his talk Indicates
that he will. 1t Is all day with the cor
porntons which have been fighting the
proposition. The people are with the
governor On this question and when
the governor and the people both get
busy ut the same time there Is certain
to be something done. Just mark It
down that n production tax on gas Is
coming, and that before long. too.

FREE ADVERTISING.

A recent issue OF "Newspaperlom.
n publication devoted to the interests
of the press. contains this pertinent
paragraph 1850
Free advertising Is like most other
free things-no good. If a thing Is
worth advertising 1t is worth advertis'
ing well. and the modern newspaper
is or should be too jealous Of its space
to allow graft notices to crowd 1t on
legitimate news.
During the last five years the Pitts
burg. Pa. banks that advertised con-
sistently In newspapers show an IN
crease In assets of IS per cent, and IN
Increase in deposits OF 8 per cent
while the conservative. non-advertis'
Ing banks gained 81 per cent in assets

District supervision in the public
schools doesn't seem to be the success
that It's friends had hoped for it In
some OF the counties. notably Harrison
and Monongalia. Last year both Har'
rison md Monongalla had a number
Of district superintendent whose
places will not be filled this year. This
seems like making progress backward
as supervision OF the right sort Is I'M
doubtedly beneficial In schools as we'll
as in anything else and the county dis
tricts certainly need help Of come
kind. Are we to infer from the re.
suits In Harrison and Monongalia that
these counties consider district super
vision n failure?

There seems to be some hope for the
school teachers yet Over In Harrison
county they are going to take n PROM
lnent part in the selection OF county
superintendent or know the reason
why and In Monongalia they Sly by
resolution at institute that they will
do all they can to prevent the election
OF any man to either branch OF the
State legislature who Is not pledged:
to give his support to a measure which
will give the people chance to vote
on the prohibition amendment. When
the teachers stand together and fight
on the right side they can be u power
for righteousness and it Is encouraging
to see them take an interest In the
proper kind OF politics.

Wants the Bridge Protected.
Editor West Virginian:
was pleased to see the article III
your paper of the third calling atten-
ton to the needless way IN which
some parties ride and even drive load
ed wagons and other vehicles across
the new iron bridge. The bridge OF
itself, being an iron structure. MS an
enormous weight TO bear up all the
time, therefore when shaken ns In
reckless driving, or even In 'lddng
faster than a walk. the whole struc-
ture Is caused to tremble more Or less.
and as you say the bolts and -oints
will gradually work loose, and as
they get more play. the greater the
damage becomes. So we hope an early
stop of tine practice will be made.
Respectfully.

A MILK FAMINE
HITS JAMESTOWN
SITUATION IN sTuTsMAN couN-
TY METROPOLIS NOT ENTIRE
LY SATISFACTORY, SAYS
HEALTH OFFICER.

jamestown, N. D., Nov. s.-That
the problem of obtaining pure milk
Tor jamestown Is one Of the most SER
ious to be dealt with at present, was
brought out at the annual meeting OF
the Civic Improvement league.
Alderman Flake of the board OF
health, was asked to talk on his work
during the past summer, and gave a
ten minute address full of facts. which
appeared to be thoroughly appreciated
by his audience
Among other things he declared that
jamestown Is suffering from a milk
famine. During the past few months.
since the board began its work, a
number of cows, whose milk was sold
unfortunately, have been retired
from service because their milk failed
to meet the test made by the board of
3 per cent butter fat for milk and Is
per cent for cream. This has had q
strong tendency to raise the price.
because the farmers who could supply
the city trade refuse to have their
cattle inspected.
Presumably this is because they are
afraid they will not meet the require
ments OF the board. One man, Mr..
Blake said. could earn about $50 per
month by selling in the city under in
spection. Instead OF this he sells his
cream to the creamery, obtaining only
$50 a month. His cattle do not come
up to the standard required by the
board.

Big TOURING CAR
Is DESTROYED
OWNER WAS MAKING GOOD TIME
WHEN FLAMES BROKE OUT
UNDER THE MACHINE.

New Rockford, N. D., Nov. 3.-Will-
lam Wilson of Sheyenne ,ost his ele-
CANT Jackson touring car by fire near
the L. A. Arbogast farm Sunday af-
ternoon. In company with A. H.
johnson and another gentleman he
was going out for an afternoon hunt,
and was bowling along at good rate
when suddenly he discovered flames
breaking through the bottom of the
body. The machine was stopped ami
the gentlemen hit the ground in rec
ord breaking time, to find the ma
chine one mass Of seething flames I'm
derneath. There was no chance TO
save the car, the occupants having
barely time to save their guns and
hunting paraphernaIia before the gas
cline tank which contained nearly
seven gallons of gasoline, let go and
scattered flames for several rods
around the machine. This started a
prairie fire and the boys had siren
uous time putting 1t out, having moth
ing but their fur-lined coats with
which TO fight it. Both Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. johnson lost their coats be-
fore the fire was finally extinguished
The car had been but lately overhaul
ed and Mr.. Wilson is at a loss to I'M
derstand the cause OF the fire. 1t was
one of the best cars in this section
and, while insured, will still prove a
big loss to the owner.

Granville Young Man Receives Bad
Injuries in Accident.


Granville, N. d., Nov. 3.-Mr. and
Mrs. p. A. Olson seem to be having
more than their share of misfortune
these days. Following the death of
Mrs. Olson's son, Herman Thibido, an
other serious accident happened to the
family. Paul, son of Mr.. Olson, was
helping to set a telephone pole near
George Lippman's place, northwest Of
town, and had his arm broken near
the wrist and his leg broken just
above the ankle. The pole was a large
one, thirty-fiye feet In length and
Paul and a number OF others were
raising 1t to drop in the hole when it
started to turn. There was no chance
to get out Of the way and he was
thrown to the ground the pole strik-
ing his ankle and breaking 1t. 1t is
supposed that the fracture at the
wrist was caused when he fell, as it
is not thought that he was struck
there by the pole. He was brought to
town and the fractures set and later
he was taken to the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Carnathan, where he is resting
as easily as could be expected under
the circumstances. II is a mystery
how thee theirs who were with Paul
escaped being injured, but he was tAe
only one to suffer seriously.

stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long ia
find relief from indigestion and dys-
pepsia, or an out-of -order stomach
with the common every day cures adj
vertised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
else wrong, or believe theirs Is case
OF nervousness, gastritis, catarrh Of
the stomach or cancer.
This, no doubt, is serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, gas and stom-
ach poison, which putrefy in the di-
gestive tract and intestines. and, be-
sides, poison the breath with nause-
Gus doors.

gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery OF the stomach, il

almost any day. II is true that Mr..
Blaisdell has time and time again said
that he was out of politics, but his
friends have been after him strong to
reconsider. We who have watched
Mr.. Blaisdelrs work as secretary Of

he run for congress. l believe we can

Forman, N. d., Nov. s.-Wilhelm
Brosz, a 15-year-old lad, who has been
working for George Burkhardt the
past summer, met with painful acct
dent last week that came near ending
fatally. He was at work in the barn
and had just entered manger where
there were two, young horses, when
they got scared at dog and started
kicking, striking young Brosz and
knocking him down and trampling him
badly. His front teeth were knocked
out, his nose broken and he received
several scalp wounds and severe
ruises on the body. He was taken to
Medina and later to the hospital at
jamestown accompanied by Adam
Bolinger. 1t was certainly close call
for the lad-as If the horse had been
sharp shod he would probably have
lost his life. Reports from the hospi-
tai state that he is getting along NICE
