mother with little fingers bruised, with
heads bumped, with sprained ankles
and wrists.
They are painful hurts, too. But
their pain and sting can't survive the
gentle use of this liniment. A single

ORIGINALITY MAKES SUCCESS

In an article in the December
Woman's Home Companion, a writer
says about selling things one makes:
Originality is the hallmark of
success, and can be cultivated by ex-
perimenting All single experiments
that are not successful enough to
warrant continuing as manufacture
ing proposition, should be disposed
of at a profit, and this may most
readily be accomplished at Christmas
time through woman's exchanges.
While I do not advocate the exclusive
use of woman's exchanges as a mar
keting medium, do feel that for this
purpose of selling articles in small
quantities they have q value.
Gifts for children are easily sold.
Included under this heading may be
put combinations of toys to be used
together: for example, sand sets, gar
dening sets, or dolls dressmaking
sets, each combination being of all
ready manufactured articles. bought
at wholesale and packed together in
clever, interesting receptacles."

sack costs from 20 to 25 cents more;
eggs are and 10 cents higher in price
compared with 1915 figures, and even
sugar costs 2 cents a pound more.
These are just few of the worries of
the housewife.
Celery, apples, cranberries and sweet
potatoes, which usually are added to
the dinner menu, will be about the same
in price as last year. with the best
grades selling at slightly increased
price. Wholesale and retail dealers
are preparing for big business during
the next two days, but some of them
expressed a little doubt to-day and
said that although they expected as
much business as last year, many of
their customers have been complain
ing continually about the gradually
increasing price of provisions.

BUSY DEV|S|NG
MANY THINGS
To Be Used against Germans
on Land and Sea in the
War in Europe.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Snares for sub
marines, freighters for Zeppelins and
traps for the Germans in the trench
es are but few OF the weird de-
vices produced by amateur inventors
that the Munitions Inventions De-
partment is called on to consider.
One look by the experts settles their
fate, with rare exceptions, for most
of the inventors are innocent Of the
science OF mechanics.
These appliances as a rule look like
the work of professional humorists.
But their authors are annoyingly in
earnest. AS an example Of the kind
OF schemes the department Is asked
to consider, one man proposes this
scheme for catching submarines.
Ships equipped with running moose
of steel rope and plate glass win
dow in the keel were to engage in
the chase. When the watcher at the
plate glass window reported sub
marine, the men on the deck would
pull the moose around the body of
the nnsuspecting victim, then haul
up and bring 1t as a prize into har-
Dor. Another inventor, ignoring
the mechanical details, invented hop
ping motors to use in breaking
through the Germans lines. The
motors, heavily armofed and brist-
ling with guns, were to jump like
grasshoppers over obstacles and
trenches. Half a, million spring
legged motors according to the inven-
tor, would end the war There have
been many types OF "Zeppelin-stra-
fers" submitted. But none have
been adopted.

main streets in the town, either prick
roads with cement base, or concrete
roads, and likewise to build all Of the
roads leading into the town Of Bridge
port from the surrounding district
and counties; and by making all roads
permanent Bridgeport would soon Sur
pass any town III the great county OF
Harrison, except the county seat.
The writer predicts that II SinDpSon
district and the town of BRIDGEPORT
would build permanent roads imnledi-
ately by means of bond issue, more
would be done for the advancement Of
the town in material wealth aud
growth than could otherwise be accom-
plished in a decade; for the reason
that many home seekers would come
to the town OF Bridgeport
The Hope Natural Gas Company is
large taxpayer, not only IN Harrison
county but in Simpson district, and the
writer believes that that COMPANY
would gladlyly favor a BOND issllc or
any assessment that might be legally
laid in Simpson district for Der
manent road. Why? Because in the
transportation of their SUPPLIES the
wear and tear not only upon borses
alone but upon the wagons, the har-
ness and the drivers in every way, is
such that it costs the COMPANY more
to travel over the muddy roads than
It would TO pay their proDortionate
share of the taxes for bond issue or
levy of any kind. The Writer be-
lieves that all the corporations that
we have in the town of Bridgeport and
in Simpson district will Greatly be
benefited by good road and that
they are willing to stand their part
Now, fthis is true, il it is well and
good for richer corporations IS il hot
also true for the medium land o"ner
or property owner or citizen should
be for permanent roads? Well, there
are some citizens who say they are hot
benefited at all by a good road they
do not haul any pipe line. casing or
transport any material Of that Kind,
neither do they ride on the ROAD, in
their automobile nor even a jitney bus
but that they either walk or go Oh the
street car line or stay home. This
may be true but the writer believes
that that individual would be helped.
Why? Because IL all OF the roads
leading into the town Of bridgeport
were permanent roads II would Open

of the year and thus the farm prod
ucts-thc butter and eggs and the like,
which at this time Of the year are al
most impossible to be delivered to the
town by reason of the muddy roads;
but Nth permanent roads the farm
products could be hauled in and sold
ut greatly reduced price which would
be a benefit to all and especially to
the man, or individual who says: II
do not use the road and am not bene-
fitted But he in this way, by the
reduction Of the price OF farm prod
usts. Is benefited directly by good
roads.
Not only would the town of Bridge
port and districts OF Simpson be
greatly improved by the building OF
permanent roads but 1t would be
benefit to the entire county and TO
the adjoining counties II such were
true.
There are many different angles
from which the road building and
the methods OF raising money aud
time employed in building perman-
ent roads. may be considered But
the writer believes that 1t would be
better for the town OF bridgeport and
the people OF Simpson district to bond
the same, and to build the roads
within the next few months rather
than TO string out the building Of
permanent roads over period OF
several years by the laying Of levies.
The writer believes that the great
income would meet the extra cost Of
paying the interest upon the bonds.
Why wait ten years to get good roads
in Simpson district? why walt five?
The people who own the property,
we believe are awake to the propo-
sition and desire good roads now, and
not five or ten years in the future.
The direct benefit, to say nothing
OF the pleasure derived from perma-
nent roads would certainly outweigh
the small amount of interest upon
the bonds-let US not wait for those
now on the stage of action to pass
away in getting good streets and
roads in piece meals; why not issue
bonds and get the benefit and use Of
good roads now while the present
generations lives?
The writer trusts that this letter
to the Telegram may bring forth
other letters and suggestions from
other parties in interest. Let the
viii and wish of the majority rule,
and say whether we want good roads
and whether we shall have them now
or Sometime in future years.

NV "a Citizen.)

The people of the little town OF
Bridgeport, just east of the city OF
Clarksburg, and the land owners OF
Simpson district are at this particu-
lar time brought face to face with
the worst road conditions the town
of Bridgeport and vicinity have ever
experienced.
In the store. in the postofiice, at the
tireside and everywhere, the main
discussion in Bridgeport and vicinity
IL: What shall we do with the road
situation?" The town of Bridgeport
has recently installed an up-to-date
sewerage system and water works
They have done this in preparation
for the building Of better streets. hav-

is no question but that the popula-
tion of the town of Bridgeport would
grow.
A few months ago there was not an
automobile in the town of Bridgeport.
but last year quite large number
was purchased by the residents OF
said town. Within the last few
months the Hope Natural Gas Com
pany has located branch supply sta
ton in the town OF Bridgeport and
from this new station hundreds OF
loads of piping and supplies for oil
and gas wells are hauled out in all
directions from the town Of Bridge
port. The increased business in the
town by the reason of the Hope Nat
ural Gas Company's plant or supply
house and the increase in automobile
owners have greatly augmented the
interest in the subject Of better roads
and streets.
The vital question before the people
Is: In what way and manner are We
to meet the situation as We find it to-
day." 1t has been thought by many
that the best plan that can be possibly
taken by those in interest is TO bond

of Bridgeport and to build all of the

buy grain in foreign markets. The
possibility OF moving the grain over
the Russian railroads and through
Russian port into England and
France was then held up by the En-
tente agents. But RumanIan grain
producers could not share his view,
nor were they able to see their in
terests cared for by storing all the
grain on options. They were willing
to sell their products and store them
on cash-in-hand basis. Many OF
them had lost considerable sums by
storing their grains in 1914 under
an arrangement with the Entente
agents, who later refused to take up
their option sand promises on the
plea that faulty storage had spoiled
the grain.
Negotiations will soon be under,
taken for the sale to the central pow
ers of about $4,000 tons OF benzine
and gasoline now held in storage and
the monthly output of $4,000 tons
of the same fuel. The export OF Ru-
manian meat cattle is also being dis
cussed. Rumanla's position is such
at present that, as opposition mem
bers in the .Rumanian parliament
have pointed out, 1t has become the
ally OF the central powers economi-
cally IL the military situation does
not change in favor Of the Allies.
This is true also in report to Ru-
manian imports which at present
come from Germany and Austria
Hungary. and which. with most stores
virtually depleted will go far in Off
setting the cost of the grain bought
by the central powers.
