BARBERTON
Will Annex Akron
Before Ten Years Have
Passed Away,
And Perhaps Sooner,
Says Mr.. 0. C. Barber.
Match King Enjoys a Little
Pleasantly
And All at Akron's Expense
Neigkbors Growing.

o. C. Rarbers faith in the possibili-
ties of Barberton's growth is synony-
nous with that Of the good old dame,
who, upon being asked If she believed
the story about the whale swallowing
Jonah. replied: Indeed / do. The
Good Book says so, and if it said that
Jonah swallowed the whale, I'd yet
believe it,
Notice Mr.. Bnrber's optimistic views
expressed in the following interview:
"Barberton expects to annex Akron
in ten years." facetiously remarked o.
G. Barber to Democrat reporter Mon
day afternoon.
But, without Joking" he continued.
"Barberton's population will be in
creased 1000 this coming year. There
are 200 people daily coming to Barber
ton to work, and almost 800 houses are
needed. Last year about 200 houses
We're erected.
by spring Barberton will have con-
nections with seven railroads. This
will be done by means of the Cleve-
land, Barberton 4 Western road which
we are now building. We will connect
with the Northern Ohio at I'airlawn;
with the Il. c. & V.,near Botzum; with
the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling at
Easton, and with the Wheeling & Lake
Erie at Creston. This will give Bar
berton shipping facilities second to
none In the state.
Grading for the Cleveland, Barber
ton & Western road is Completed from
Barberton to Fairlawn, n distance of
eight miles. Track material Is distrib-
uted along the line, and we hope to
have the track completed by spring.
"The new coal field, being opened
by Wagner & Rowley, Il half mile
north Of Doylestown, means much to
Barberton. 1t will furnish good and
cheap fuel for al. our Industries, and
that will be of incalculable advantage.
,fhc vein is five feet thick and the
field has $50 acres. Within few
months, the SHIFT will be completed
and everything connected with the
field put In lively operation.
~ have recently had map made,
showing the relation of Barberton to
the great business centers of the
United States. The. Magic City is
shown to be within the fraction of a
day to all the centers; and, in fact, is
itself the center of a 40O-mile circuit
whose population exceeds 25,0O0,OOO."
"Well, IL that is the case," venturcd
the reporter, isn't Akron the center
of all this territory?"
"Yes,,' was the reply, "but then you
know we have already begun to re-
gard Akron rs part of Barberton."

IN A TRAP
Stepped Two Young Men
From Canton.
Business Has Been Brisk In Police
Court Circles.

On Saturday afternoon Frank Sickles
and John McCaus, Of Canton started
for Akron. On the same train with
them was John Miller, of Akron, and
the boys got acquainted.
When they arrived at Akron, the
Cantonlans asked Miller to direct
them to n boarding place. He took
them to n house on Arlington st. near
the railroad.
That night the strangers heard
whispering outside their chamber
door. They became frightened and
arose. When they got outside, they
discovered that they had forgotten
something in the room. Back they
went. On the way, they mot John
Miller and John Kelly, whom they
allege assaulted them with intent to
rob.
Sickles' head was slightly cut, but
his friend escaped unhurt Siclsles
had 81 bill. He saved 1t by putting
1t In his mouth.
A police call was sent in, and both
McCaus and Sickles were placed in
the City prison for safe keeping. Of
ficers Mcconnell and McAlllster later
arrested Miller and Kelly.
They were arraigned in Police court
Tuesday morning, pleaded guilty to
robbery and were bound over to
Common Pleas court in the sum of
$500 each. They admitted their guilt
to Prlsonkeeper Washer prior TO their
arraignment.

FIRST OF ALL.
Akron Leads With the
Automobile Patrol,
Which Will be Used Within {
Few Days.

Perhaps there is not city Of It's
size in the Union that has given to
the industrial world so many import
ant inventions as has Akron.
The list of inventions is varied, so
that there is included in 1t articles
peculiarly adapted to every phase Of
industrial and mechanical pursuits.
And in the line of experiment Ak
ron as city, and Akron's people are
up.to-date in everything.
When the practicability of the au-
tomobilc was first discussed in cleo
trical and mechanical circles Akron
mechanics We're not slow to figure
out its possibilities, and today, be-
sides having several automobile ve-
hicles, this city has had built and
placed in operation the first automo-
bile patrol known to the world-and
that it Is a success was demonstrate
ed Thursday afternoon, November
%, when it was given thorough
trial run.
The cost of constructing and COM
pleting the novel vehicle will reach
S2,4O0, and while the automobile is
large and heavy, there is nothing
uDgainly about 1t. Its weight Is
5000 pounds, and its normal speed
1S miles an hour. Two four-horse
power electric motors, hung on n
frame suspended under the bed and
connected with the mechanism
moving the rear wheels, furnishes
the locomotive power. Batteries are
located under the seats. Both motors
are capable of developing nearly
100 per cent in excess of the rated
power, making the total energy pro-
duced equal to 16-horse power. A
30-mile run can be made without its
becoming necessary to rechnrge the
batteries.
Two seats, arranged lengthwise In
the vehicle, will comfortably accom-
modate 12 persons, although In cases
of emergency--such as the pulling"
of poker gang-the entire outfit,
including the jackpot, could be hand
led cleverly, for Is persons have been
seaten In the automobile at one
time.
The driver of the horseless turnout
has his seat in the regular place In
front. The steering device is regu-
lated by wheel. An electric head.
light is provided, as well as an cleo
trio gong.
Mechanical Engineer F. F. Loomis
is the designer of the automobile, and
under his supervision it was built
The body was built by the Collins
Buggy company, which also did the
painting. Access to the vehicle Is
gained by two steps at the rear, and
hand-rails of brass tubing are also
arranged about the seats.
The body of the automobile is paint
cd Brewster green, with gold trim
mings. The gears and wheels are
painted red, with gold stripes. On
each of the body's sides are painted
the words, police Patrol" The let
ters are in ors-carmine, gold, red
and green. A canopy top, provided
with curtains, insures protection
from the elements, and perhaps will
frequently shield many a poor indi-
vidual from the gaze of the curious.
The vehicle will soon be placed in
active use. Then 1t will be housed in
u special room added to the north
east corner of the City building.
1t has been said before, and will
here be repeated-"Akron leads;
other cities follow"

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change
a few years of married lite will make in
the appearance and dispos ton Cf many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach rudely handled. The matron is
only dim shadow, faint echo of a
charming maiden. There are two Iea>
sons for this change. ignorance and neg
lect. Few young women appreciate the
shock to the system through the change
which comes with marriage. Many
neglect to deal with the unpleasant
drains which are often consequent on
marriage and motherhood, not under
standing that this secret drain is rob-
bling the cheek of its freshness and the
form of its fairness. AS surely as the
general health suffers when there is de
rangement of the health of the delicate
wOmanly organs so surely when these
organs are established in health the face
and form at once witness TO the fact in
