A savage .fbe in Africa daubs cloth
with clay, then rubs the dirt out in
the river. That's a good deal like
using a hunk of yellow soap that Is
made heavy with rosin and stale
grease The rosin stays In the cloth
and keeps some of the dirt with it. and
then your clothes look streaky. Easy
Task laundry soap-the white soap
made of cocoanut oil, borax, naphtha
and wholesome tallow-takes the dirt
out. That's its business-taking dirt
out and driving disease germs away.

William j. Bryan's record as sec
Rotary OF state has been so full OF
mistakes and rebuffs as to entitled
him to to the Jonah man champion
ship. His latest blunder was that Of
referring the Thaw extradition case
to the British ambassador, who has
no tur isdtction Of such matters. His
other mistakes include his Balkan
note, which was rejected, his Mica
raguau project, which was discarded,
his unwilling recognition of the
Mexican government, his protracted
absence on the lecture platform;
his note Of commentator to Ambas-
sador Wilson in Mexico, which was
followed by that officials recall

IA long as ClarkSbgTrg exercised
the wisdom Of 1oosins after IT'S own
labor affairs and letting other places
do likewise without interference
either by intervention or sympathy,
,CIarksburg had no serious labor
troubles and the TIN plate strike
marks the hrst one OF serious ma
ture.
While It Is true that the tin plate
company operates mills at other
places, 1t Is fact that the mills are
not operated IN connection with the
C1arksburg mill. Except as to own-
ership, the SteubenvilIe and Weirton
mills are as foreign to Clarksburg as
mills in Pennsylvania and the East.
Owing to this fact it seems that there
was lack OF wisdom in a sympathy
strike here. The mill men at Steu-
benviIle do not live in Clarl1sburg
and doubtless most of them have
never been here. they are not even
known to the C1arksburg mill men
in general except as tin plate work
ers. They have no homes here, own
no property here and do not trade
here.
ON the other hand many workers
at the mill here, most OF them IN
fact, are residents of this commu-
nifty. Many of them own their own
homes. They all do all their trading
here. They are extended credit by
the merchants from month to month.
SteubenYille and Wierton do not APP
peal to them as even places to visit.
Their actual acquafntances at the
two places are few and far between.
There are no mutual relations ex-
listing.
Under such conditions there is no
better reason that the workers at all
three places should be banded to-
gether than there would be for the
coal miners in the West Virginia and
KENTUCKY dields OF a local coal com
pany toqbe banded together. The
manner Of living here, the conditions
of society and life itself here are diff
ferent from what they are at Steu-
benviIle and Weirton. Mill regula-
tions at steubenville and Weirton
doubtless would work undesirable
changes for the workers here,
adapted at the local mills. The COM
munittes are too far apart not only
in distance hut in, many other ways
to harmonic in conditions.
The rank and file of the workmen
ought to readily see that they have
nothing to gain. so far as the Tele-
gram sees it, by continuing the
strike. The proposition offered by
the company does not call for radical
changes from the former policy with
which the workers seemed content
the last several years. 1t is fmprob-
able that the company will make any
other proposition and it is up to the
workers themselves to say whether
they will return to work and draw
pay or remain idle and have no pay.

Be Careful

Claim Agent Hunter of the
G. & N. w ], has requested us
to warn the people when cross
ing the railroad tracks to take
extra precautions at this time
of the year. During the cold
weather when a person is driv-
in , it is quite essential that
they have their ears covered
up AMI when they are crossing
a railroad track it is almost i'm
possible to hear an approaching
train. When steam is escaping
in the winter it interferes with
the engineer seeing ahead and
the combination is such that q
large share of the railroad &C.
cidents occur in the winter
time. Be careful when you
are driving all bundled up that
you look we'll in both directions
before crossing the track.

Your writer was a visitor at
the Riverview Farmers Club
hell at Frank Brothers last Sat.
Two propositions were dis
cussed with great interest and
enthusiasm. Viz: Which is the
better to list or check corn and
Should the farmers combine
and build a common ice house.
A very practical and earnest
talk on the corn planting
subject was the chief feature
of the day. A full hour was
given to hearing the practical
experience of advocates #
both sides the decision being q
draw with the small favor of
the checking on extreme low
wet ground and quite a balar &c
in favor Of listing on dry and
lighter soil.
! The ice proposition brought
forth much interest and throu-
ghout the debate thu inclin-
alton was towards each farmer
having his own ice house,
Mrs Reeser's reading on
i" Idealism" and Mrs Axtel's
essay on Care of chickens
were very comprehensive and
appropriate for the occasion.
We would like to have time
to take up the various exer-
cises of the children. To say IL e
least your writer can qualify
that the declamatory work of
the farmers boys and girls on
the day was equal to the best
of the public rhetoricals given
at the close of many of our
schools.
