The Best Family Newsnaner.

An ideal newspaper for the American
home must be habitually clean and
highminded, it must offer something of
interest to every member of the family,
and it must present daily the news of
the whole world in authentic and read
able FORM. A large contract, you will
say. Well, the newspaper that comes
nearest to filling it in the West is The
Chicago Record Herald. It's moral tone
is always high, its news service is un-
surpassed, and probably no other paper
in the United States has so brilliant an
array of special features suited to the
tastes and needs of every member of the
family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded The Record Herald as the
best paper for their own reading be-
cause of its unequaled faculty for get
ting all the news of the world and put
ting it into the briefest possible form
for the busy man. They also esteem it
for the reliability of its financial, agri-
cultural and market reports. Young
men perhaps find its greatest attraction
in the excellent sporting department,
which fills four entire pages on Sunday
and page or more on other days.
Wives and mothers emphatically prefer
The Record Herald on account of it's
we'll conducted feminine departments
its daily recipes and menus. It's daily

Wife's Body to Dissecting Table
While He's in Jail.

Tom Park is one of the County g
boarders at the Jail. While reading a
paper Saturday, he came across the
notice of his wife's death at Battle

started to meet his parents at Ovid, but
got drunk at Durand and was sent to

Michigan Delegation is the Strong
est IN Capital Says John A.
MCKAY
ginaw Courier.Herald.

From the Saginaw Courier.Her
John A. Mckay has just returned
from Washington, where he has been
an interested witness of the progress be-
ing made by the tariff conferees regard
ing the matter of placing linen manu-
featuring machinery upon the free list.
This item was one of the first placed
upon the free list by the conferees at
their meeting just started.
"a great deal of credit is due Repre-
sentative JOS. w. Fordnev and Senator
j. G. Burrows for the able manner In
which they are looking after the indus
trial interests of the state in the tariff
fight" said Mr.. Mckay. People here
do not realize what they are doing nor
how strong they are.
'It cannot be impressed too strongly
upon people that Michigan is now rep
resented more strongly in w ashingtor
than any other state. The great work
of Fordney and Burrows can h ardly be
appreciated by people right here.
Everything considered, outside of the
Speaker, Fordney is the strongest man
in the house today. The fact that Bur
rows name appears second on the list of
conferees also speaks for itself. 1t is
also fact worthy of note that Michi-
gan is the only state besides Pennsyi-
vania which is represented by more
than one member on the tariff confer
ence. The work on this means long
hours and enormous work under the
most trying climatic conditions.
This great strength and the conse-
quent ability of the cong ressman to
protect the interests of his constituents
is only the result of continuous service
in Congress. The Michigan representa-
tion at Washington is reck oned among
the strongest at the capitol and it's
members are high in national affairs.

Only Twice as Many School Teach

interesting facts are brought out, as
for example, the following:
1T is practically impossible to find
a community in the United States that
does not spend more money for whiskey
and tobacco than for education. The
report of the U. S. Commissioner of Ed
ucation shows that there are only twice
as many school teachers as there are
bartenders in the country"

NATURAL GAS HERE
FOR USE THIS WINTER

made TO bring about the Introduction
Of natural gas.
Natural gas In Baltimore means that
we viii be supplied in this city. The
line will come from the best West
Virginia gas fields and will be about
$50 miles TO Baltimore. II is the long.
est, large PIPE nne in the world and
the supply viii De ample for the needs
OF the territory 1t is proposed to sup.
ply.
Natural gas means cheaper light
heat and power. The price TO be
charged in Ba timore. will be from A
to SIS cents. This will mean that Mar.
tinsburg, will pay not more than that
price for gas supplied here.
Natulal gas when introduced here
will mean much for our manufactur.
| ing enterprises and will bring in others
that will use more OF our territory
and enhance tie value OF our city. 1t
will mean less labor 70 he housewife.
1t VIII do away with dirt when used
as fuel and give rs cleaner and more
thrifty city
As stated before in this paper, this
proposed line will pass east through
the state some whore IN the the neigh
hood o. Bunker Hill. and a branch
line is pre-. losed to this city. The line
will cross the Potomac some where
in this section and it is said that in
order to do this, a tunnel will be dug
under the liver.
The almost positive assurance OF
the early supply of natural gas in this
city, will give our people. and the
newly organized Board OF Trade an
opportunity to get manufacturing en-.
terpriseG here with fuller assur-
ance that they will be able to secure
natural gas. for all necessary pur-
poses. This one hing will do raore
for the the up-build.ng or Greater Mar
tinsburg than anything else.and as has
been said before the people OF this
CITY will hail with Joy the information
that the construction OF the line has
been begun. There is hardly any
doubt but that the authorities OF Mary
land and he city OF Baltimore will
guarantee the necessary cooperation
for the success OF the project and as a
vast amount OF money. some twelve or
fifteen million dollars, will be required
to finance the project. those who
would invest will not be willing to put
their money into the enterprise until
they have every assurance that there
will be nothing thrown in the way o.
carrying out the plans, by the city OF
Baltimore or the Legislature OF the
state OF Maryland Mr. Warfield and
his associates. backed by the trade
and industrial organizations OF Balti-
more will surely be able to overcome
any objections that may be raised
and with these people working Tor the
advancement OF the enterprise there
Is every reason to believe that we are
assured OF natural gas.

Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1909-05-15

From The World Of Wednesday:
As told exclusively in The Evening
World more than a Meek ago, all indi.
cations point to the early connstruc.
ton OF the natural gas pipe lines
through this section. AS stated at the
time. estimates had been asked for the
construction OF the line, and it was ex-
pected that the order for the pipe
would be placed in the near future.
Bearing out the prediction OF this
paper, it would seem by the declara-
:tion made yesterday In Baltimore, by
Dir. s. Davies Warfeld. that natural
gas will be supplied to this city, early
this fall, provided The cooperation Of
the city OF Baltimore. and the state
authorities OF Maryland is given. Mr..
Warield has been working on plans to
introduce natural gas into the Monu-
mental City for year or more.
The details Of the plan have all
been carefully worked out and it was
further stated that the Consolidated
Gas Company OF baltimore, would be
ready to furnish natural gas during
the coming winter, II they could get
the necessary corporations of the
state and city authorities.
Mr.. Warfield, yesterday afternoon,
laid his plans before the trade organ
cations representatives OF Baltimore,
and the wide spread interest that has
been taken in the matter by the indus
trial interests of that city bids fair
to bring the necessary cooperation.
The proposition made to the city
of Baltimore Is a most liberal one and
fully protects all the interests OF the
people and municipality.
Every effort will be made to secure
the cooperation of those concerned
and the early introduction OF gas in
this part II the country seems almost
assured Great benefits will inure to
the city of Baltimore, from the con-
sumation OF these plans and every ef-
fort o. Governor Crothers, Mayor Ma.
hool and other officials, with the v.ri-
GUS organized trade bodies, will be
