METHODIST
BOYS. START
OUT ON TRIP
Determined to Do Battle Royal
with Fairmont Normal and
Marietta.

BUCKHANNoN, Jan. 1S-The
Wesleyan basketball five left here
this afternoon FOR the first strenu-
Gus work Of the season, having sched-
uled to play the Falrmont Normal,
Ohio University, Marietta College
and Muskingum College in the last
four days Of this week.
+, From local standpoint and the
standpoint OF the players by far the
most important games to win are
/ those with the Normal at Fairmons
| and with Marietta College at Mari
eta The Fairmont Normal looms
up as a real contender in West iVr-
ginia and in order to again estab-
lish itself Wesleyan must win the
game at Fairmont Wednesday night.
Wesleyan feels keenly the tie game
at football with Marietta last fall
and will go onto the floor at that
place to avenge it. The Fairmont
Normal through its victory over
West Virginia has shown conclu-
sively that it has fast basketball
aggregation and all local fans feel
that Wesleyan will have to go at top
speed in order to win from the Nor
malites on Its own floor. Marietta
has its team Of 1915 practically in
tact, and in addition has wealth of
new material. Last year the Wesley
an and Marietta teams split even in
the series Of two games played but
Wesleyan strongly desires to mako
clean sweep of the series this year
and in order to do this a magniii-
cent battle will have to be put up on
the Marietta floor Friday night.

OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT
Of TR|-STATE
Latest Reports Of Operations 10
West Virginia, PennsH-
IL. vania and Ohio.

Zero Weather will cause a sus-
pension Of active operations in the
oil fields. There Is no territory that
calls for rush OF development work
and operators are not making any
great effort to start new work. New
territory, capable OF furnishing gush-
ers and ample room for expansion
would be an incentive for active work
even II the weather conditions were
not favorable. There is no such ter
rItory In the eastern fields at this
time and the ne1ds that have been
most active have nothing but rou-
tine work.
Lincoln county Is still holding close
to the first place in work under way
starting. In Duval district, the
South enPn Oil Company has drilled
It's No. % on the Horse Shoe Creek
tract through the Berea grit and 1t
Is pumper good for fifteen barrels
day. The company is drilling three
wells and has the rigs completed for
two on the same tract. In Sheridan
district the Columbia Gas and Elec-
trict Company is starting good deal
Of new work in Duval district. The
Carter Oil Company is increasing its
operations.
Gasscr in Harrison County.
On Big Elk creek, Sardis district,
Harrison county, the South Penn OIL
Company drilled its No. 5 on the w.
T. Robinson farm through the Cor
don sand and found nothing. A very
good gas pressure was developed In
the Stray above the Gordon sand and
1t will be operated for gas. In the
same district the same company is
due in the Gordon sand at a second
test on the II. v. Thompson farm
and has the rig completed for a sec
ond test on the Wetzel heirs farm.
At Ellenboro, Richie county,
company composed Of local talent
has drilled a test on the NJ. L. Lam
bert farm through the Big 1njun
and it Is a gasser in that formation.
In Gran, district. G. I. Bunnell has
abandoned his location for a test on
the j. Mclaughlin farm and has
moved the rig. In Murphy district,
A. b. Daley and others completed a
second test on the A. NJ. Scott farm,
and have small gasser.

three years ago there was little de-

looked promising, but as develop

were encountered and since then
nothing had been done in the way
Of drilling tests.

WOMAN AND WAR

A Western woman doctor declares
that women are physically At for ser
vice at the battlefront. Probably
some exceptional women may be, but
are not the majority prone to all
ments which make even household
care burden? Hence the necessity
for that great remedy which during
forty years has done more than any
other to relieve such ailments and
mitigate the suffering Of American
Women-Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound Advertisement.

1t. may be noted that in the recent
municipal election here he easily led
the ticket voted for.
The fact that this section Of the
state heretofore has not been recog-'
nized very noticeably In the making
UP Of the state ticket, and that 1t Is
as surely deserving as any other por-
tlon to be 80 honored, especially
when 1t can produce q man Of the le-
gal acumen and pronounced party
fealty OF Mr.. Rider, will be readily
acknowledged by everyone. His well
known influence In politics would add
prestige to the ticket and give 1t
undoubted strength with the voters
Of the state and he would prove him
self a campaigner Of yirility and.

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is allyou will
need), apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of It, no matter how much
dandruff you may have:
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, SILKY
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better,

BROUGHT TICKETS WITH THEM
Mary Ellen Satisfied That at Least the
Visitors Had Right to Be
Admitted.

Mary Ellen, the colored maid. had
been carefully instructed by her new
mistress in a number of things con-
corning which she appeared to be pro-
foundly unenlightened. Particular
stress had been laid upon the proper
manner of receiving visitors and of
informing the mistress of their pres
ence in the house.
Perhaps altogether too much had
been said about it, or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright at the crucial
moment, for when the first callers
came, after Mary Ellen's advent into
the family, she "ushered" them only
as far as just inside the hall door.
Taking the cards they gave her, and
leaving the visitors standing there, she
went to the foot of the staircase and
