CITY GOVERNMENT is
AN UNKNOWN THING

two-thirds OF all their work on Ian,
guage and HteraAure-you have evil
dence of a large displacement OF at
tention, more of which should go TO
the social sciences, unless we are go
ing to be content with the aristoerat-
ic and individualistic view to find still
of culture and of the function OF the
college. a view we regret to find still
somewhat common among college
teachers.
THE tendency to the development
Of a social focus in college education
exists and is rapidly developing. but
1T is still lacking In intelligent dtrec-
ton and ip clearly defined purpose.
Scores of students wish to express
their religious and moral impulses
through SOCIAL service as a vocation,
but too many people, both students
and teachers, think of social service
as synonymous with settlement work
and friendly visiting. Perhaps when
the economy of a really constructive
morality and the value OF the yoca~
tionaI motive IN education are better
understood we shah have more def
mite and conscious social focus than
today. That IL Is coming is proved
BY the stubborn hght the classtcists
and individual culturists are putting
PUP against 1T.

but will also aid in adjusting the
American youth to twentieth-cen-

as they were. Our college authort-
ties are beginning to recognize, often
hesitatingly and with many obvious
misgivings, that the era of rampant
and negative individuaiisIa is passing.
No business or profession is longer
to be called purely private. Private
and public are being linked and weld

EXQUISITE WORK
BY MISS PARLOW
Great VioIinist Charms Enthu-
siastic Audience of Music
Lovers at Theater.

Miss Kathleen Parlow, the cele-
brated vioIinist, came, saw and con-
quered.
Never has Clarksburg had such
musical entertainment as that given
Thursday night at the Robinson
the Marcato club by Miss Parlow.
She came heralded as the greatest
woman violinist in the world, but To-
cal critics say the limitation can be
removed and thai she can be consid-
cred in the same rank with 4saye,
Gilman and Kreisler. Each OF her
numbers, so we'll rendered, ELECTED
round after round of applause 70
which she generously and gracious
w responded. The applause was new
er confined to few appreciative
souls but was general all over the
house and so insistent that the artist
kindIy. gave encores after coming
back and bowling her acknowledge
ments three or four times. One of
Miss Parlow's attractions is her ut
ter absence of mannerism.
BY special request Miss Parlow
su bstituted Kreisleras VienneSe Ca
price, and MoZart's "Rondo" for the
Handel sonata. After this group she
received several recalls and played as
an encore BeehoVen's beautiful min
uet to which she had to bow her ac-
acknowledgements several times. At
ter the third group she played ''Valse
BIuette" by Auer, Cher teachcr) and
at the close OF the program her au-
dience was so insistent that she play
ed Dborak's Hum oresque." Even
then the audience very reluctantly left.
Never has a Clarksburg audience had
the rare pleasure of listening to such
a mastery performance.
Charlton Keith played the accom-
paniments for Miss ParIow in beau
tiful and sympathetic manner. He +
declared to be one of the greatest
pianists that has ever visited Clarks-
burg.
The Marcato club has set a very
high standard in its orchestra recit-
ais this year, in fact having had en-
iy the greatest, and it is to be hoped
that the club will next year meet with
hearty support in maintaining this
high standard.

Professional Players to Hold
League Franchises Here
and at Fairmont.
THEY VISIT BOTH CITES
Question to Be Finally Decided
at Another Meeting of the
League Saturday.

If professional league baseball is
20 this summer in Clarksburg and at
Fairmont as the result OF the recent
offer of franchises by the Pennsylvan1a
and West Virginia league, two well
known professional baseball players
will take the franchises and manage
the clubs. 1t is believed that there
would be more chances OF success IN
following this method than in that OF
forming stock companies to hold the
franchfAes as has been the case in
both cities in the past.
These professional players are Hugh
shannon, now of Buffalo, n. Y, who
has the refusal of the Clarksburg
franchise, and George Needham, a
former player of the international
league. who has the refusal of the
franchise for FairmonG Shannon has
played league ball in Clarksburg. He
was a member of the Butler, Pa, team
OF the old Western Pennsylvania lea
que when CIarksburg was in it. Last
year he managed the Bay City, Mich,
team.
Messrs. shannon and Needham Wis
tied Clarksburg and Fairmont Friday
for .he purpose of ascertainlng the
possibilities of putting league teams
in both cities as a part of the Pa. and
w. Va. circuit. They were tentatively
awarded the fran chises for both cities
at the meeting of the league Thurs
day in Pittsburg and 4. ]. Mchinnon'
Of Unfontown, Pa, president OF the
league, sent them to this section to
sound sentiment and learn whaJ OPP
portunities there are. They Will re-
turn to Pittsburg and submit report
of their findings at a meeting of the
league to be held there Saturday, at
which time it will be finally decided
whether Fairmont and Clarksburg are
strong enough for professional ball

PULASKI

Marcus Pulaski, who residedp here
years ago and was associated with the
West Virginia Short Line Railroad
Company, when that road was IN rs
incipient promotion The suave Mar
Gus had a special hobby at the time
in that he purposed to make the town
of Iumberport the center Of the
world and change its name to Pulas-
XII. 1t was to be even greater than
the city of London. But Marcus and
his dream finally wore out and Mar
Gus moved away. Many thought him

Saw-Trimmer Company of Michigan,
promises, it is said, TO develop into a
stubborn legal fight for the possess

to dissolve the attachment is. fixed at
$40, 00D, although the claim of the
pIaintin against Pulaski only aggre-

Trimmer Company against Pulaski.
but no statement accompanied it.
Pulaski was in PittsbuFg yesterday
and both writs were served on him.
He gave bail in both cases and left
for Buffalo last night. He laughed
when questioned as to the suits and
said it was merely the beginning of a
suit for possession of his 500 shares
of stock in the Miller Saw-Trimmer
Company, of which he was manager
and is now solicitor. The company
has a plant in Pittsburg for the man-
ufacture of combination saw and

printing business, which Pulaski says
is a very valuable device.
He claims the bill against him at

STOCK CONTROL
HURTS SHIPPERS.
WALLACE
Oil District is Now Well Defined
and New Wells Are Now
Lighter.

Light oil wells are the result OF
development work in the West vir-
ginia and southeastern Ohio fields
The very few districts that have been
presenting fairly good producers and
an occasional large well are OF less
interest than few months ago. The
Wallace d district, this county, stood
at the head of the list for number
of months, but is now thought to be
defined and the complications inside
of defined limits must necessarily pc
much lighter.
In the Wallace district, this coun-
ty, some, of the wells are still hold
ing up very. creditably. The last
guages were as follows: Vesper Gas
Company, NO. G, Perry, 275 barrels;
