THE CAR FAMINE
MAY SOON Be ENDED
General Embargo Lifted and
Pennsylvania Co. Will b,
Able to Furnish More
EN- mpties.

The car famine on the Pennsylvania
railroad has been somewhat relieved
by the relaxation of Sunday business
but as yet the car supply is far from
being sufficient to meet the needs Of
the Canton Office. In view of the fact
that the general embargo on the Penn
sylvania hasi been liftedI it is thought
that the local office will have it's sup
ply of cars greatly increased by the
general stir in freight traffic which
will result from the lifting Of the en-
barge.
Under ordinary conditions, the
Pennsylvania is able to handle all the
local business by using the cars which
come in loaded, but when the embar-
go shut Off the greater part of this
supply, the merchants and manufac-
trres of this city had to go without
the needfui cars for carload lots and
freight cars were at premium.

FORCEFUL WAY OF
SERVING PAPERS
Deputy Sheriff Zaiser Has an
Exciting Experience With
q Hot-Headed
Tailor.

Deputy Sheriff Harvey Zaiser had
quite an exciting experience while
serving the papers in divorce case
Saturday. He had summons and
copy Of an injunction to serve upon
julius Machurey, tailor, and clothes
cleaner, at 504 North Cleveland ave-
nue.. The deputy found the tailor at
his place of business and projected to
read the injunction to him.
Machurey Immediately became
abusive and when Zaiser told him that
he did not care to listen to any of his
talk, the man became violent and
made for the officer. He took hold OF
Zaiser and was going to throw him
out OF the shop. At this juncture, the
deputy sheriff cut loose and knocked
the tailor down, administered few
words Of advice and departed
Machurey's wife had sued him for
divorce and the injunction was to re-
strain him from interfering with her
or encumbering or disposing of what
personal property he had.

homes that the true foundation fer
Christian life Is laid. l do not think
that any home is complete without
praying parents and without the teach
ing of Gods word. Take from Canton
her grand schools, her splendid chur-
chos and Christian homes and how
many of us would want to be called
her citizens? We must all recognize
these great and good forces in our
midst, remembering that we are citi-
2ens of no mean city.
"In conclusion let me say, that 1t is
our duty with all of these great bless
ings and advantages to make Canton
better. To weed out that which Is
evil To hold up that which is good
and do what we can to make our lit
tie city like that great and beautiful
city of which we catch a vision in tho
book of Revelation. God holds us ac-
countable, will we not as citizens aim
to please him, and under all condi-
tions do right in business, in politics
and in our home lives and social rela-
tions."

The Light Side Of Life in Canton

turions came and took him into the
castle where he was questioned as to
whom he was, when he gave the ans
wer which is embodied in the text.
"A citizen of no mean city," referring
to his home city, Tarsus. This ST.
fenced the angry crowd. which resulted
i'll permitting him to stand on the
stairs of the castle and gave that
mighty and eloquent discourse and de-
fense recorded in the following chap
ters
"When they had ascertained that he
was from free Roman city, 1t meant
something. and meant a heightened
trial in the courts of justice, even
though he didn't receive justice.
"What did Paul mean by saying
that he was citizen of no mean city?
He meant that Tarsus was Roman
city. therefore he had all the rights
of a Roman citizen. He meant also
that he was citizen of one of the
great university centers of that day
and age, and in the commercial world
Tarsus was known everywhere. He
knew that the name of his home city
would undoubtedly mean something In
his defense of justice and right. Al
though the city does not wholly make
the man yet there are influences
brought to bear which help mold and
fashion character and am glad that
with all of the evil found In the great
Centers of civilization there is suffi-
cient good to help ameliorate nociety
and thus bring it up to higher stand
ard.
"Were l to ask what are the great
and good things In our own city to-
night. no doubt there would be many
and varied answers. need not tell

it is self-evident. Let me say there
is much good In our little city which
is often lost sight of and not recOg-
nized by many of our citizens. God
has been good to us as people and
we should recognize his goodness in
his dealing with us as city.
while we are not great numeric-
ally, yet where Is there little city In
this broad land with a better location
as an inland center than Canton? In
one of the richest countries for agri-
culture and mineral wealth In the
United States. Think Of the vich and

rounded. 1t can be said of all the
roads in Stark county, that all roads
lead to Canton, for it is there that the
farmer finds a splendid market for
his produce and in turn can trade for
almost any line of goods needed for
his consumption. Situated on the
great railroads, having splendid inter-
urban connections, Canton is a great
city even though but forty thousand
Inhabitants.
"In the industrial world. Listen, on
tomorrow morning hear hundreds of
whistles and see thousands Of men
and women making their way to the
great factories of our fair city. What
does it mean? 1t means that we can
say as did Paul, 81 am citizen of no
mean city" AS people we are bless
cd with employment as never before
and should not forget that it is God
who giveth us strength to get wealth."
Were we to see on exhibition the pro-
ducts of our own industries, we would
find a great display of the handiwork
of man from the smallest article to
the largest piece OF machinery. Cau-
ton is known throughout the world
for her wonderful productions.
"In history we stand in the front
ranks. Fame and honor have bean
| written In the annals of our city.
When we say that we are citizens OF
no mean city and give the name OF
Canton. Ohio, there are always many
ready to give us a hearing. Canton
has been the mecca of strangers and
visitors from all parts of the globe.
Her sons have made her famous in tho
legislative halls, In the consulate. in
the mansion of the chief executive and
again her name goes down in today's S
history with the honor of having one
OF our brainiest men appointed to one
of the highest positions of honor af-
forded by our nation These things
which mention are source of hon
o,ablo and just city pride.
"But let me call your attention 10
another phase of our city's life. We
have been talking of her splendid. To-
/, cation. her great commercial advant-
ages and activities, her renown achley-
ed In the worlds history because c [
her great men. May not ask, why all
this? There are those who would stop

that these things could not and would
not he were 1t not for our splendid
public schools, our many churches with
their loyal and devoted votaries, and
our cozy Christian homes. l mention
these last but do not consider them
the least, but make them the basis of
all the foregoing.
schools are considered in this great
state as being in the first rank. With
their splendid modern equipment,
large and able corps of well qualified
instructors, we cannot help but have a
city pride that others do not and
say II am a citizen of no mean city"
Parents who fail to send their chill
dren to our schools and children who
deprive themselves of these great op-
portunities and blessings are to be pit
led. What the world needs today is
trained men and women and the youth
of Canton have golden opportunity
to. lay foundation for future life
which means success and honor.
Il know when l approach the sub
ject Of the church, there are Away
those who are ready to hurl the dart
of criticism and find fault, and many
! express themselves as caring nothing
for and having nothing for the preach
ers, churches, church members or
Christianity in general Were you to
ask this clvss of people to live where
there are no churches, they would soon
say they do not want to be classed
with the heather. They readily admit
that the church Is a good socializing
influence. even though they will admit
nothing more. Parents are always
anxious to live where there are the
best school and church advantages, for
they know that these stand above all
material wealth and furnish rich leg
acies of Immortality. Sometimes I
hear unkind words about the Canton
churches. about their pride etc. | de-

Canton Markets

Eggs took a drop Monday morning
from 30 to 28 cents. Some dealers had
been selling at that price Saturday.
The paying price is 25 cents a Dozen
although some OF the dealers hesitate
to pay this much. 1t is coming the
time of the year when 1t is not safe
to stock up very heavily with eggs, as
every few days the price Is sure 10
drop, and the storekeeper who has
half a dozen crates on hand is sure
to lose money.
Merchants who handle flower and
garden seeds are getting in their
stock. 1t will be only week or two
until greenhouse men begin planting
for their early spring trade. The call

FLOWING tributes to his home city
u were paid by Rev. Brewbake,
pastor of the First United Brethren
church, Sunday evening in his sermon
on "The Bright Sides OF Canton"
With words of praise he spoke of the
industries. advantages, schools, chur-
ches and inhabitants of this city.
which he characterized as "a city Of
beautiful. Christian homes"
Rev. Brewbaker took as his text,
Acts, 21:39, "a Citizen of no Mean

upon the great centers of civilization,

movements have their origin In the
cities? While 1t is true on the other
hand that the great cities are the hot

English writer OF today, In writing of

mentions the following: London It,

Set Fire to the Prairie.

Will Kelley, of near Goodwin, a
young man with auburn hair, perhaps
about 20 years old, and who was par
doned ont OF the penitentiary last
March by his excellency Governor JEFF
ferson Davis, WAS arraigned in Squire
Sanders court Wednesday, charged
with malicious mischief, in setting fire
to the prairie near Goodwin short
time ago. The prosecuting witness was
Joe 1lolut, and there were quite a
number of other witnesses for the state
and also for defendant.
Hon. r. j. Williams represented
Kelley, and S. II. Mann appeared for
the state. After the evidence was all
heard, the magistrate held the defen-
dlnt IN the sum of 800 to appear be-
fore the circuit court next March. He
gave bond and was released.
The fire is said to have burned a strip
of prairie about mile aud half long
and an average of quarter Of mile
wide, and also about six tons of hay
which HolAb had cut and was on the
ground with a press for the purpose Of
baing the same. Holub had purchased
all the hay then growing on the ground
which was devastated by the fire, and
his loss was quite considerable. He
believed that Kelley did it through ma.
lice, and hence the prosecution.
