HOOTS!
(By OWL

There has been numerous ques-
lions asked at this office as to who
the owl is that writes this stuff.
We never have been in favor of
lynchings, so the owl is wise enough
to keep quiet. Therefore the readers
of said junk must fix the blame to
suit themselves, or else cuss an un-
known somebody, and there is not
much satisfaction in the latter. We
will say, however, that he is not a
, schreech owl, nor a horned owl, but
simply a plain old chicken owl and
, can be seen chasing chickens most
any night.
When striking three the other
night the clock woke the baby on the
last stroke. The baby showed re-
sentiment at the interruption of its
slumbers and gave full vent to its
feelings. We had just made the
last step safely and were cOngratu-
lating ourself that everyone was
asleep when the above resounded.
While seated on the top step waiting
for things to settle down bit we
thought it out this way: The clock
struck twice, but the third one was
ball (bawD, so there was nobody
out but the owl and he was all in.

Why is it that a woman who shows
such unlimited talent when lectur-
ing to her husband would be abso-
lutely helpless before the public? A
man is exactly the reverse. He may
make a great hit upon the platform,
but give him his wife as the sole
audience and he doesn't dare make
a hit.
The excitement caused by the new
leaves is about all over and things
have about resumed their normal
proportions. If we hear of anyone
keeping their resolutions we will
run their names in this column next
week.
We didn't turn over a new leaf.
We got plenty of room left on the
old one.
If some of those who think they
are so wise could see themselves "as
ithers see them they would find it
otherwise.
Now that the Russians are tenn
perance people they ought to change
the names of some of their cities so
that a sober man could pronounce
them.

AUTO SAVED NEGRO WHO
WAS SOUGHT BY A MOB

Waxahachie, Texas, March 2.-Running
the gauntlet of AN excited mob that filled
the streets in the vicinity of the county Jail
Sunday afternoon, an automobile contain
ing Joe Lockett, a negro arrested on a
charge of murder, heavily guarded BY off
GERS, dashed ont of the city in me direction
of Dallas. A number Of shots were fired M

The arrest of Lockett fonowed a man
hunt which lasted nearly all day, as the
result Of the killing of Jack Jones, aged
about p, in his bedroom at the W.. b. Jack
son garage some time during the night.
investigation showed that the Office Of
the garage had been broken open, and the
cash register rifled of about 5000 in cash.
Ii j. believed that Jones, who slept nj the
garage at night, heard the robbers and
started To make an investigation. Blood
splotches ON the cement floor near the
main entrance To the building Indicated
that Jones was first attacked there. Ii j.
believed that in the fight with his assailants
Jones broke away and sought refuge in
his bedroom.
There are indications that he might have
tried to use one of the telephones in his
room to call for help. The two phones
were found torn loose from the wall and
their pieces scattered about the floor. An
operator In one of the exchanges states
that when the removal of the receiver
caused the light on the switchboard TO flash
she heard what she thought was the groans
Of some one in agony. This was about
IL 80 o'clock Saturday night. The body
Of Jones was found about s o'clock by a
negro helper at the garage.
The body was lying in a puddle of blood
on the floor and walls indicated that a
terrific struggle took place in the little
sleeping room.

GOVERNOR SAYS BANDITS
ON MEXICAN BORDER BUSY
by Associated Press.l

Austin. Texas, March 2.-3epredations
along the Mexican border on the Texas side
of the Rio Grande are increasing, accord
ing To information received by Governor j.
+. Ferguson from persons living in the Dor
der country. The alleged lawless acts, it
IL said, are being committed by Mexican
bandits. The governor has written Presi-
dent Wilson on the subject, urging that the
federal government bear part of the ex-
pense of increasing Texas ranger force.
The ranger force has already been in
ceased by five and the governor wants
thirty more TO work on the border to pre-
vent cattel thefts and other unlawful acts
charged against Mexicans. Mr.. Ferguson
thinks the national administration should
either adequately protect the border or
bear part of the expense in doing so by the
state of Texas.

DISCOVERY OF
VITAL VALUE
ANNOUNCED
United States Government Has Process by
Which Gasoline Output Will be Increased
by 200 Per Cent and Dyes Will SuppIant
Supply Furnished by Germans.
RESULT OF YEARS OF RESEARCH
BY ENGINEER IN MINE BUREAU
Federal Government Proposes to Make
Free for Use Of All Process Which is
Expected TO Increase Yield TO Gasoline
by Several Hundred Per Cent.

Washington. ID. g.. Mar. Two dis
coverics of vast importance 10 American
industries. and one regarded also AZ a
priceless military asset. were announced
today by Secretary Lane Of The Interior
Department. They are chemical process
SEES developed after wears of research by
DIR. Walter II. Rittman. chemical cnpin-
Ger of the Bureau Of Mines.
One IL expected "a aid vil refiners io
increase their output Of gasoline by 200
per cent the other makes possible the pro
duction from crude petroleum Of toluol
and brnzol, bases for dyes and high ex.
plosiytA. for which in the past the United
States and the remainder Of the world
has depended almost exclusively upon
Germany.
DIR. Rittman has applied for patents
upon his process to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of any monopoly i'm their use. and
will dedicate them To the American PEG
pie.
These processes" said Secretary Lane
to-day ARE fraught with the utmost i'm
%portance. The Standard Oil Company
has had a big advantage over the indie
pendents in the production Of gasoline,
having a patented process obtaining
three times the amount Of gasoline from
a given quantity Of petroleum the indie
pendents now obtain. Independent pro
ducers as a whole never nave been able
to even approach thes. results"
Now the Federal Government. thru
the efforts Of pr. Rittman. proposes tn
make free for the use Of all a process
confidently expected to increase their
yields Of gasoline fully o per cent. and
perhaps more. DIR. Rittman claims his
process is safer. simpler and more eco
nomical. These are economic factors of
great importance.
With u steadily increasing demand
for gasoline for automobiles. motor boats
and engines. this fortunate discovery

CONTINUED from page ID

ment far and wide. Here is one of
such comments as taken from the
Wheeling Intelligencer.
The opening of the new addition to
Clarksburg, the Cor Plaza, today, to
the investment of home-seekers,
marks one of the distinct evidences
of the progress that city has been en-
Toying for the last decade. The recla-
nation of the site of the Cor Piazza
was a wonderful work and it took
wonderful man to do it, Mr.. Cecil b.
Highland, who saw the possibilities
of the property long before he de-
cided to transform it into habttable
shape. 1t has required over year
and a half of hard work in grading
and filling and beautifyng before the
protector took breath to look upon
what he had accomplished.
The enterprise speaks we'll for the
future growth of Clarksburg. 1t Is
also an instance Of the confidence in
the expansion and coming greatness
of Clarksburg as one OF the chief in
land cities of West Virginia. 1t took
Just such a man as Cecil Highland Is
to realize the needs of Harrison coun-
ty's capital, and to grasp the oppor-
tunity and go forward to accomplish
ment. Other men would have quailed
before the task this Harrison county
native set himself to perform. Clarks-
burg is to be congratulated in hav-
ing such an indefatigably progressive
citizen. 1t is such men that tmpart
spirit, civic pride and action to others
and make up a community's depend
able assets.
