We are credibly informed that there
are parties from Chicago working the
mutual protective buying racket. The
scheme OF these sharpers is to induce
people to subscribe $40 for a cyclopedia
of general information, the investment
to entitle the buyer to q membership
in some centrally located association
which is supposed to buy all kinds Of
goods and sell them to members at
wholesale prices. The scheme is a
feasible one with smooth talker to
advocate its strong points, but it is
impracticable and is never used by the
victim, who usually has a 81 book on
Hand ut a cost OF 81 less the experience,
which will be valuable the next time a
snide agent turns up. There is only
one safe method of doing business and
that is to deal with reputable and re-
sponsiblc home merchants. Give the
snides the cold shake.

THE WHITMAN ROBBERY.
a Young Man Arrested Charged with the
Crime-Evidence taken in Mayors
Court.

For several days the Mayors court
was occupied in the preliminary hear
ing of George Keller, arrested on the
charge of robbing Township Treasurer,
George Wittmann.
Whether Keller, or any OF the
parties whose names are connected
with the ease, are guilty or not, we do
not pretend to say, but we will simply
give II brief statement of testimony
given in the Mayors court.
Geo. Whitman says Harry Cook
came to him and claimed to have
learned who the robbers were, and
promised to give him sufficient evil
dcnce to bring the guilty parties to
trial il Wittmunn would pay him five
dollars. Whitman gave him one
dollar and promised to pay the other
four dollars when the parties were
convicted. Cook claimed George Keller
was the principal party to the affair,
and upon this evidence Keller was
arrested and the trial was had in which
Keller claims that on the morning fol-
lowing the robbery hengOt up early to
go to DR.. Thompson's to take care of
his horse and when crossing the rail-
road near Hoover's mill found 1920
and he took it home and placed it ON a
board in the barn to dry. With this
money he went to San Antonio, Texas,
purchased new clothes, and otherwise
enjoyed himself, and getting short of
cash, came home and was arrested.
A number of witnesses were exam
ined and much evidence OF contra
dictory character brought out and the
Mayor bound Keller over to Common
Pleas court in the sum OF 81 800 bonds,
in default of which he was taken to
Bowling Green to await trial.
Keller's failure to give satisfactory
explanation Tor the amount of money
he had, his contradictory stories, and
the fact that he made no effort to find
the owner OF the money found, caused
the Mayor to bind him over to court
and in the meantime it is hoped other
parties will be secured who are now
suspected of completely in the crime.
Some OF the witnesses in the case
became little too smart and his honor
gave one of them short season in Jail
to cool his ardor, and placed him under
bonds to appear as witness at court.
There is evidently very dangerous
gang of young fellows in and about
this place and no one can consider
himself safe until this crowd is broken
up. The Mayor and his officers are
using every means at their command
to break up the gang and it is hoped
they may be able to do so.
After giving information in the case
which lead to the arrest of George
Keller, Harry Cook left and all efforts
to find him were unavaillng until last
Monday afternoon when he was seen in
HI. Cooks barn and Marshal Thornton
and Deputy Chris. Hartsing arrested
him. He was taken before Mayor
Roach on Tuesday when he waived ex-
animation, and was bound over to
court in 81 900 bond. He was taken to
Bowling Green by the Deputy Sheriff
where he awaits the action OF the
Grand Jury.

OUT ON A LARK.
The Two Boys Who Hired Tromblas Rig
Caught Rt Last.

The Two Boys Who Hired Tromblas Rig
Caught ut Last.
In our last issue we mentioned the
act that two boys hired rig at from
BIAS livery and had not returned.
The boys were Roy Browning, son of
o. ~. Browning, and Johnnie Phelan
son of John Phelan, all of Toledo. The
boys had given their names correctly
and when thoir fathers were consulted
regarding their failure to return,
Browning and Phelan agreed to settle
all losses connected with the case and
began hunting for the boys. They
were found at Venice, Ohio, by Mr..
Phclan who notified the parties here
The boys were arrested and placed in
Jail TO await the arrival of Marshal
Thornton, who brought them to Per-
rysburg.
The boys left here and drove to
Bowling Green. Cygnet, Oil Center,
Bleomdalc, Fostoria, Tifin, Rocky
Ridge, Oak Harborand Graytown. After
reaching Oak HarbOr, they were about
to return, but were out of money
(having but 40 cents) and the horse
being tired out they concluded to
return to Toledo. They took the har-
ness off the horse and hitched him to
the fence and placed placard upon
the rig worded-"$l5 reward for the
return of this horse and buggy to
TrOmbla's livery, Perrysburg, o." and
then thoy started on foot for Sandusky
expecting to beat their way on the
railroad to their homes in Toledo.
There is no indication that they
intended to steal the rig but were only
out for trip around the country.
They stopped at farm houses where
they were given rest and refreshment
gratultously, but when they wanted to
return home they were unable to do
so.
They were given hearing in Mayor
Roach's court. The parents made a
satisfactory settlement: of the case and
the boys were given their freedom, but
not until after young Browning had
been given short term in the
village Jail as lesson.

The Republican convention re-nom-
mated President Harrison as the stand
ard bearer OF the party and in so
doing gave proper recognition of his
services during the past. 1t is generally
acknowledged that he has given the
United States as clean and excellent an
administration as any who have graced
the Office before him. During his
term of Office, many great and import
ant matters have been pending and
been adjusted and the President has
been the one to whom the people
looked, and he has never been found
unable to properly handle the ship of
state through the many dangerous
storms that have bescs her, and while
he may not have been the choice OF
many of the wire-pulling politicians
he is the choice of the people, and it is
the people who elect.

A WONDERFUL WATCH

At the time of her coronation at Mos
COW, in 1924, Catherine l., Empress of
Russia, was presented with watch
which weighed seven ounces, and was
both repeater and musical time
keeper. On the back there was an ex-
act counterpart of the Holy Sepulchre,
with carved image of the Roman
guard: this scene could be viewed
through the glass in the case. Upon
opening the case, the imitation stone
would roll away from the mouth of the
sepulchre, the guard would kneel, an
gels appear at the opposite sides Of the
opening, and about this time the mu-
sic would start up and play, in soft
sweet strains, the Easter SO we'll known
to all Russians. The maker of this
wonderful piece of mechanism is said
to have worked upon it almost uniter-
ruptedly for period Of nine years.

THE WOMEN OF BOLIVIA.

AS rule the Indian women Of Bo-
Iivia are superior to their lords in in
teIigence and earn the larger share
of their mutual support. Being the
elder of the two, she is naturally the
head of the house, and is more likely
to thrash her dutifu1 spouse than he
is to misuse her.
In the markets where farm prod
ucts are disposed of she can drive q
better bargain than he; she can carry
as heavy burdens, endure as much
manual labor, chew as much coca and
drink as much alcohol. The Indians
have little orno money, their mediums
of exchange being whatever they may
raise or the labor Of their hands. They
viii eat when not hungry, drink when
not thirsty, sleep when not sleepy,
anywhere and any time when oppor-
tunity offers, "against the time of
need" they say.
The majority Of them are in a state
of semi-intoxication from baOyhood
to the grave, alcohol being used on
every pretext, freely as their means
will allow, on occasions of births,
deaths and feast days, the latter oc-
curing nearly every day in the year.
They are social creatures, and not at
all inclined to live alone, hence their
houses are always in groups, and
community of them, though number
inc not more than half dozen, is call
ed an estancia.
In the interior of Bolivia, if an In
dian desires to change his place ofres-
idence, he is not allowed to settle in
another village until the authorities
thereof have looked into his private
history, when, if the record is not sat-
isfactory, he is ordered to move on.
But that seldom happens, for they are
like cats in their attachment to places,
and will cultivate the same bit of poor
land from generation to generation,
though barely able to keep body and
soul together.

ono NEED OF RELIGION"

Some gentlemen tell US very compla-
|cently that they have no need of reig-
Ion; they can get along well enough
\ without it. Let me tell you, my friends,
\ the worst kind of religion is no relig-
lion at all. And these men who live in
ease and luxury, indulging themselves
Din the amusement of going without re-
|ligion, may be thankful that they live
in lands where the gospel they neglect
has tanned the beastiness and feroc1ty
\ Of the men who, but for Christianity,
might long ago have eaten their bod
les like the South Sea Islanders,o or cut
off their heads tanned their hides like
1.-The monsters of the French Revolu-
/ ton. When the microscopic search of
|scepticism, which has hunted the heav-
the existence of Creator, has turned
Its attention to human society and has
found place on this planet ten miles
|suuare where a decent man can live in
decency, comfort and security, sup
porting and educating his children I'M
|spoiled and unpolluted, place where
| age is reverenced, infancy respected,
|Momanhood honored and human life
held in due regard-when the sceptic
can find such a place on this globe
where the gospel of Christ has not
gone and cleared the way and laid the
foundations and made decency and
security possible, it will then be in or
| der for the skeptical literati to move
|thither, and then and there ventilate
|their views. But so long as these men
are dependent upon the religion which
|they discard for every privilege they
enjoy, they may well hesitate little
before they seek to rob the Christian
| of his hope and humanity of its faith in
THAT Saviour who alone has given to
man that hope of eternal life which
makes life tolerable and society posi-
pie, and robs death of its terrors and
the grave of its gloom.
