two committee oonis of the county
commissioners' suite in the court
' house for the local league's service
rooms.

Grand Army of the Republic rooms by
the commissioners last week, but the
action met with such strenuous oppo
sition from the Grand Anmy of the
Republic that the commissioners had
to back up on their arrangements. No
othsr rooms being available, the com
missioners had to give up their own
extra space for the good of the cause.

be m progress in the new rooms. The
commissioners will hold their com

New York, Nov. 21. The board of
directors of the Sta.idard Oil com
pany of New Jersey elected A. C.
Bedford chairman of the board and
made Walter Clark Teagle president
of the company. Mr. Bedford has
been president and Mr. Teagle a di
rector and formerly a vice president.
The change is noteworthy in that it
brings to a position of great power a
comparatively young man. Mr. Teagle
is only 39 years old and is considered
one of the most competent corpora
tion executives of the country. For
several years he has been in charge of
the Standard Oil company's export
business, am did much to build up
that world-wide commerce.
Mr. Teagle's father and grand
father were known as ''Standard Oil
men." His maternal grandfather.
Morris B. Clark, was one of the pio
neers of Cleveland. O., and was the
first partner of John D. Rockefeller.
They were then in the grain trade
and later went into the oil refining
business at Cleveland.
Mr. Teagle s father was a member
of the oil tirin of Scofield, Schurmer
& Teagle of Cleveland, where Mr.
Teagle was born. He was graduated
at Cornell' university with the degree
of bachelor of science and at once en
tered his father's oil firm at Cleve
land. When that firm was merged
fwith the Republic Oil company, in
1900, Mr. Teagle became vice presi
dent and three years later was called
to the export department of the
Standard Oil company of New Jer
sey, with offices at No. 26 Broadway.
In college he was known as a "live
wire," was manager of several ath
letic teams and in the forefront of
student activities and he continued
with that reputation in business.
For several years Mr. Teagle lived
abroad and became thoroughly fa
miliar with the oil trade in foreign
countries. When recalled to New
York he was elected a director of the
company and later became one of it
vice presidents.
