akron people generally have no
idea of the extent to which the Grim

size and larger" said an Akron officer
last evening. EVERY year from 1,7OO
to 1000 prisoners arc arralgned in the
Akron Police court. While the great
majority of these men are not crimi-
mails, many of them are, and it is ow-
ing to the diligence OF the police de-

We're spectators of the entire riot in
Akron recently have been unable to

The proposed improvement of Ak
ron's fire service will mean a saving Of
thousands Of dollars to Akron's prop

that prevents an increase Of the rates
is the fact that improvements have
been provided for"

into the tree, shook the branches quite
vigorously with the result that several
apples released their hold on Nature
and fell to the ground, with ripe,

the apples. After this they retired,
The young man came out of the tree
and went home, having made up his
