GASOLINE PRICES,

gives convincing proof of the great practical usefulness
ate the Trade commission undertook an investigation Of the

Cornwell Condemns
Dents Opposition

CHARLESTON, April 25.-Gov.
John j. Cornwell today sent tele-
grams to Congressman NJ. NJ. Nicely
and Adam Littlepage as follows:
1t seems to me that every patriotic
citizen, especially members Of the
Democratic party, should express
their severe condemnation of the con-
duct of Chairman Dent and the other
members, especially the Democratic
ones. who are opposing the bill fav-

though the Rockefeller. father and SON. may compose

Oh never changes either its methods or its morals In this

Just So Standard Oil has been so careful to obey the
letter of the law that has mahged the spirit out of exist

better today than it in the Seventies and the Eighties
of the last century when John D. Rockefeller assisted by
Rodgers and Archbold building his huge machine
and committing pretty nearly all the crimes in the calendar
while doing it.
The Federal Trade commission anticipated this pious
attitude of the Standard for the very first of the remedies

pursuits of the petroleum overlods Now let's have that

residents of Gilmer county, have to

rendered ten gallons of lard The hams

sides picked and hides tanned. There's

lard is also good to stop the noise in

SHAVING

Whoever first started the shaving idea probably knew very little about hair He made great mistake when he didn't read up more on hair. If he had really made study of hair he would never have invented the first shave.
 He didn't know that hair would grow out again.
 The man who invented slaves had no idea that more than one would be necessary. When his wriskers appear ed again he was astonished. His wife was puzzled and mentioned it to her neighbors. Other husbands tried it and sure enough all of their wriskers grew out again. The custom was soon widespread.
 The world is now used to the phen- omena and the growth of whiskers no longer excites wonder. The man who shave today knows that he will have to shave again soon though he does not know why. We cannot understand the inscrutable laws of nature.
 There was a day when a man could hold down a good job on the strength of a long beard alone. Five feet Of whiskers then would keep him in poll tics for years. Solomon had no more wives nor wisdom than he had whis- kers.
 If man could have one big shave that would last for several years a shave would not be such a nuisance. As it is life is full of lots of little slaves and so little is gained by them after all.
