Wages in the Orient

Mir. Clarence Poe in the July Worlds Work gives some interesting figures con corning the pay of laborers in various Oriental countries.
 In China a member of the Emperor grand council told me that the average rate of wages throughout the empire Is probably IS cents a day. In Japan it is probably not more, and in India. much less. The best mill workers l saw in Osaka average 22 cents a day; the labor CTS at work on the new telephone line in Pekin get 10 cents; wheelbarrow cooles in Shanghai, $4 a month; linotype opera tors in Tollio, only 45 cents day: press men, 50 cents; policemen. 40 cents; the iron workers in Hankow average about 10 cents: street car conductors in Seoul make 35 cents; farm laborers about Nan kou 10 cents. The highest Oriental wages are paid in the Philippines, where the or dinary laborer gets from 20 cents to 50 cents day.

Concert at Ensley Park

The first of a series of band concerts will be given at Ensley's new park this afternoon by the Italian band under the charge of Professor S. Costa. An excellent programme has been arranged and a large attendance is predicted. The park is fast becoming a popular recreation place and the concerts will add to its attractiveness no little. The following programme will be rendered this afternoon:
 March, "Simfonica Italian" M R.
 Overture. Guarantee" Charles South well.
 Stop, Stop. Stop" Irwin Berlin. Sextet from "Lucia," Donizetto. Intermission.
 "Intermezzo Simfonico," Cavalleria Rusticana; Mascagni
 Selection from opera Martha" Floto.
 Waltz, "Leonore," F. H. Losey.
 Medley overture, Yankee Hash" Miller.
 No concert will be given at Corey this afternoon as was originally planned. Un- settled weather is the cause of the post ponement. The concerts will be resumed l in the near future, however, when the | wea ather conditions have become more settled.

Keeping Cool in Kentucky

From the New York World.
 To keep cool in Kentucky in such weather we fear God and keep his com mandments. increasing the quantity of ice in the julep and reducing the sugar to q minimum, using, of course. lavishly only the tenderest sprays of the young mint. Sugar is heating.
 Under this admirable formula exalted femperatures soon become matters of in- difference and usually disappear alto gether. I regret my inability to forward the accepted and standard recipe for a julep, having loaned it to MT. Henry Watterson, who is planning 8 reciprocity reception to the star eyed goddess of 'bunc.''

Noise and the Nerves

From the LOnuOn IhIeS.
 We have recorded the case of trades man who was indicted at the Surrey quarter sessions for having attempted to commit suicide. It was pleaded on his behalf that he had suffered from insom mia brought on by the noise made at night by the motor omnibusses and trans which passed the premises at which he resided, and he stated himself that he had been unable to sleep owing to the traffic. This was an extreme case,- per haps, and possibly this particular victim of street noises was a man of abnormal ly nervous temperament
 But no mans nerves are entirely proof against the sapping influence of disturbed and interrupted sleep, and, un- happily, cause and effect in this case are very apt to react upon and intensity each O. Ter. The nervous fear of not being able | to sleep is often enough the primary cause of sleeplessness, and thus an ir- regular series of intermittent noises tends | to induce, especially in a sleeper awak- ened by them, state of nervous appre- hension which may lead in the end to serve and pronounced insomnia. This is a very serious matter but for all who havt,
 to depend on their services No man can
 do his work efficiently by day if he can
 not sleep at night, and when pubic serv-
 ants like Sir Henry Morris and other
 of our correspondents tell us how great
 and growing the evil is. it is high time for the community at large to bestir itself and insist on a remedy being found and
 applied
 Of course the traffic of a great cit, can never be entirely sstilled. There mus jalways be occasional passngs ever in th. I uuietest streets. These we must put ur with as best we may, as we must als; with the continuous roar of the grea lthoroughfare up to late hour of tn, might. But these are not the enemies o sleep which Sir Henry Morris special, complains. It is the multiplication of tn, motor car and the needless sounding O lits raucous horn in the small hours tha Justly provoke his indignation and re

Epidemic Under Control

The epidemic of infantile paralysis Is fairly we'll under control at Ensley, and will soon be thing of the past. No new cases have reported in the last 24 hours and the six cases previously re- ported are we'll in hand. There is a marked decrease in the number of peo- pie to leave town lately so that the re- cent scare is wearing off.

Greater CIarIrsburg Assured.


The many business men Who did
such splendid service IN the mem
bership campaign the CIarksburg
Board OF Trade conducted the last
three days OF last week deserves the
very highest commentator for the
part they took In the campaign.
These men under the direction OF
experts and Secretary v. D. King,
together with the loyal assistance OF
the board OF directors and other
members of the board OF trade, gave
their entire time and attention not
less than two hours every day the
campaign was on to the work. They
braved storms and cold weather
and worked with all their might
They brought marvellous results
and awakened not only widespread
interest here but also deep inter
est In other cities Of the state.
Everyone here talked and is talk
ing board Of trade and Clarksburg's
rich and cheap natural resources.
In other cities OF the state board OF
trade men have their eyes on
Clarksburg in this movement and
from the, leading cities of the state
men came to see how to put a city
the size Of Clarksburg on the map.
Huntington, Parkersburg. Charles
ton and other city newspapers are
commenting fayorably on the get
together here OF the business
citizens and they are also letting
the fact be known that Clarksburg
has four-cent gas, the cheapest fuel
of any city in the world. Already
has Clarksburg enjoyed renewed
advertising an to it's cheap natural
advantages and the high character
of its business men as a result Of
the membership campaign.
The campaign itself having shown
what can be done by organized eff
fort, the future work OF the board
of trade based on such organized
effort spirit and a modernly sys-
tematic operation Of its AFFAIRS, in
which time and attention must be
given by business men delegated as
directors and committees, will con-
sfsts not only Of advertisinb but also
of the splendid results advertising
brings. Clarksburg is not only to
be on the map but it is also to get
many additional Industries, and it
is sensibly predicted that the Fuel
CITY OF the Fuel State" will enjoy
a growth the next few years, the
immensely of which will eclipse the
rapid strides it made the last de-
cade and be second to none Of any
city in the United States.
Why should not the many bust
ness men who engaged in the team
work OF the campaign not be highly
compIimented for the good work
they have helped to inaugurate?
Certainly they deserve to be praised
and all persons or firms engaging in
the movement by becoming identified
with the membership OF the board
also should feel pleased. All may
well feel that Greater Clarksburg Is
assured.

C1nrl,sbnre,s SLOGAN.


AS some of the speakers said at the
board OF trade get-together meeting
the other night. Clarksburg has a
slogan that means much. Indeed,
It means all. Under 1t Clarksburg
grew within a decade from coun-
try village to a live modern city.
This slogan is, 1.-THE Fuel City OF
the Fuel State"
Analyze the slogan. 1t says that
this Is a fuel state. That Is. truly
said as the world knows that all over
the state coal, oil, gas and timber,
all good for fuel, abound In super
abundance.
That part OF the slogan being de-
hned to the satisfaction OF all, next
give your attention to the city Of
Clarksburg as a fuel city. You all
know that there is plenty OF COAL
oil and gas within stones throw
of the court house and you all
know that timber Is easily gotten.
with those four fuels handy, 1t is
truly asHuel city.
But, the slogan has still more
powerful meaning. Notice that the
slogan does not refer to as a fuel
city merely, but it states emphat-
ically that 1t is the fuel city. Some
other city in the state may be fuel
