Grain and Produce
CHICAGO, July 6.?Overtopping of
all previous high prices continued yesterday
in the corn market, notwithstanding
that the record-smashing has
been going on since last Saturday unchecked.
Urgency of demand was
largely due to reports that distillers
would be allowed to grind all corn of
which they had ownership on July 15.
The market closed nervous, 2% to 5%c
net higher, with July at $1.62% to
(1.62% and September at (1.54%, to
(1.54%. Wheat gained 5% to 8c, closing

; STATE NEWS [
Storm stories make good reading
even when they are a little late. Here
is one from the Marlinton Journal of
June 28 which Is unusually interesting.
"The most damaging hailstorm
that has been seen in Pocahontas county
within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant visited that section lying
around the heads of Thomas's creek
and Laurel rutt, three miles from
Dunmore, last Wednesday. The storm
itself lasted a couple of hours, and
for a half hour <fr this time hailstones
literally poured out of the heavens.
Gardens In the path of the storm were
ruined and fruit trees were greatly
damaged. John Grimes, who lives
near Dilleys Mill, reports having seen
hailstones piled up in the road to a
depth of four inches the next day at
10 o'clock." ., ,

J. V. OUlIIVttll, VjUOI 1CDIUU Jionnj/Hr
per man, has been named secretary
of the state advisory council of defense
and will relinquish active newspaper
work for the present. He will
have office quarters at the .capitol,
probably In the speakers room of the
house of delegates chamber, and will
have charge of all the publicity work
of the council and attend to its general
correspondence.
Clarence L. Stonaker, of Newark,
N. J., whose services have been accepted
by the executive council of defense
from the Russell Sage Foundation,
has started an investigation of
the various institutions of the state,
with the purpose of determining their
availability as emergency war hospitals
in the event they should be
needed later on. He is assisted In this
inspection by President James S. Lakin,
of the state board of control.
Several JefTerson county firms
have united with similar interests in
Winchester to protect themselves in
the purchase of coal by buying a coal
mine near Confluence, Pa., the output
of which Is shipped to them regularly,
says the Martinsburg World. The
Northern Virginia Power Company, of
Winchester; the Halltown Paper

Town, and tie knitting mills, of Winchester
are said to be co-operating In
the plan.
An experiment, so far entirely successful,
Is being tried by the Wheeling
Electrical Co., according to the Telegraph
of that town. One of their big
autos is being run with coal oil sub- ,
stituted for gasoline. While the experiment
was pnly begun a few days
ago, the result has been more than
satisfactory, and fuel bills have practically
been reduced a half. Local
autolsts are much interested In the
idea and It may revolutionize the
auto business locally at least.
The auto upon which the experl- .
ment Is being tried, is equipped with
the large reservoir containing coal
oil, and then there Is a smaller reservoir
filled with gasoline. The en- ,
gine is printed with gasoline and
started, alter which the switch Is i
made from zasoline to the coal oil. !
Contrary tp general opinion It' is
declared that tire coal oil does not
produce any more carbon than the.
gasoline.
The sheep-killing bear that has
been preying on the sheep and lambs
on the head of Williams river will
not commit any mtfre depredations,
says-the Warlinton Journal. He was
killed the first of the week by Fred
Oalford on Spruce KJnob.__ The bear
was one.of the largest ever seen In
that qiectjton of Pocahontas county.

There was a reward of $40 offered for
the scalp of the bedr.
Alpheus Griffin, one of the pioneer
residents of Wood county, is as active
at ninety-one years of age as many
men of half that age, says the Parkersburg
Sentinel. Mr. Griffin has a I
large patch of potatoes at his home
in Wllllamstown which he is giving
his personal attention. On Friday, one
of the hottest days of the season, he
put in the whole day hoeing and cultivating
his crop, and repeated the performance
on Saturday without apparent
fatigue.
Five barhers and two barber chairs
in one barber shop'is the newest
wrinkle sprung in Wheeling to escape
going to the farm. In order that they
will not he arersted under the antivagrancy
law three men do nothing in
a certain barber shop but help the
customer with his hat and coat. One
takes his hat, the other his coat while
the other brushes his clothes. After
he is shaved one hands him his hat
another his coat and the other brushes
the dust from his clothes.
The remarkable increase In the collections
of the Internal revenue, making
the paSt month a banner one in
th history of the Parkersburg office,
is due lo some extent to the recent
rise in the rates of taxes on incomes
and corporations, but was due.to a
greater extent to the promptness of
the taxpayers in remitting the money.
The total collections for the month
of June amounted to $7(i!),338.30, makin
gan Increase of $321,SC9.21 over the
previous month's collections, amounting
to $147,469.09. The collections for
the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted
to $3,400,370.38. against $2,009,127.46,
making an increase of $1,367,242.92.
Mike McMahon, of the Fourth ward,
Wellsburg, who volunteered his services
to Theodore Roosevelt in the division
he desired to take to France,
has received a letter of appreciation
from the Colonel thanking him for
volunteering, and releasing him from
his promise to serve. With the letter
is a statement relative to the or
ganization of his army division which
was prohibited by the refusal of the
President to grant permission to go.
Mr. McMahon prizes the letter very
highly.

much to the attractiveness of the

The work on the interior of the build

Work on -the third story addition to
the Mining Machine Company's office

Is probable that the new addition will
be completed and in use by the first

A WAY TO
SAVEJEETH
[ The wise old saw, "never pull a
tooth until all else fails," is getting
stronger and more deep-rooted among
the profession and the laity every day.
There is good reason for this. One
tooth out means more coming out unless
you are quick to take action likely
to arrest the trouble. Most of the
tooth trouble comes from microbes or
germs that live in the mouth in sheltered
places. You don't realize these
germs are doing their deadly work until
it is too late. Some line morning (
the glass shows you a receding gum.
ui juu icui y um luuiu ih juuHening or
you notice a big black sploch on the
enamel. It is well for you if in your
sensitiveness you notice the trouble <
in time, for science says you can save J
your teeth.
The old saying that your tooth stops '
aching as soon as you get up your
courage to go to a dentist is strong
upon us?Indeed, hundreds and hundreds
of teeth could have been saved
to their owners had a little precaution
been taken in time. When the gums
recede from the tooth, are swollen and
tender and ulcerated, don't wait until
they pass away from the enamel.
When your teeth become loose and
rock to and fro and you use your tongue
to keep this rocking up, you can
surely prevent further annoyance if
you will but go to your druggist and
get just four ounces of fluid ergan (no
more will be needed) and put a teaspoonful
into the mouth morning,
noon and night, and keep in the mouth
a few minutes. Don't use water for
a little time. Your gums will be cleaned
of microbes and infestments, a
rich, red, rosy gum will be keen in the
glass in the morning?all the bacteria
will disappear over night. You will
be tree of the .distress of pyorrhoea
and its attendant discomforts, as it
dissolves the infestments from the
teeth. Bleeding of the gums -will stop,
the crevices and lurking places for
germs will be washed clean and free,
a healthy tissue will begin to make
the teeth firm and strong in the gums
and altogether you will be free of
mouth and teeth troubles. Don't use
your tongue to rock the teeth or get
out the infections as these little microbes
that eat away the enamel of the
teeth and render them yellow and subjects
to decay will disappear entirely.
Yellow teeth become white, the black
one the enamel comes off, and your
teeth are as white and as strong as
ever.
