Store ROBBEDAGA|N
Thieves Entered Nh. RaHsburg's
Place The Second Time.
THEY UNLOCKED DOOR WITH KEY
Broke Open the Till and Carried
Away Small Amount of Cash
Bold Gang Still at Work In the
Small Towns Near Mere.

The general store of Mr.. J. A. Rams
burg, at Vanclevesville, this county
was again entered some time during
Tuesday night, the second time with
in week.
The thieves effected an entrance by
means of keys, as they did ON the pre-
vious occasion. Mr.. Ramsburg Sc
curely locked and bolted all the doors
and windows when he closed his place
of business Tuesday night, and he
found the place locked when he open
ed 1t the following morning.
Mr.. Ramsburg did not know his
store had again been entered until
he opened his cash drawer. He then
discovered that all the money, a
small amount which he had left in
the till the night before, was missing.
An inspection of his stock failed to
show that anything aside from the mo-
ney was taken.
After the robbery of the store last
week Mr.. Ramsburg changed the locks
on the rear door, putting an ordina-
Try lock and heavy paddock on the
door. The other doors are supplied
with bolts, which operate from the in
side. 1t is evident, however, that the
gang which is operating In this sec
ton is well supplied with keys, for
they easily opened the new locks, and
latter securing the cash, locked the
door again.
These robberies are occurring with
such frequency and regularity that
the merchants in the small towns in
his section are becoming thoroughly
alarmed. The officers seem powerless
10 effect the capture of the gang, and
the latter have been plying their ne
farious business with a boldness and
skill that is exasperating in the ex-
IRENE.
During the past three months there
|ihave been robberies at practicallyev-
cry town along the line of the Balti-
more & Ohio from Cherry Run to Har-
pers Ferry, no less than dozen bold
burglaries having been committed.
Some of the merchants have adopted
the plan of placing trap-gun in
position when they lock their stores
at night, and it would be a good plan
if all used this means of keeping away
the robbers.

Not grudge," the speaker replied,
but deep seated conviction, based
on actual experience and observation,
that large city Is a mighty poor place
of residence for the average human
animal, while a small town or city or

Signs of Progress.

1t is pleasing to note that on every
hand from far removed centers, yet
all within California, there are evident
strong wish and determination to
make more beautiful California, says
the Los Angeles Times. Gentle hints
and mild persuasion seem to have
failed, and city councils, city foresters,
tree wardens and improvement asso-
Citations have combined to force the
public to do what Is right and best in
all that pertains to the chief essentials
of civic beauty. Wider streets, as
phalted oiled or graveled; abolition
of billboards, uniform alignment of
streets with trees, control of park
ways and their planting by municipali-
ties and Il general cleaning up are
some of the principal earmarks Of a
great awakening. When these mighty
forces get under full swing those pessi-
mists and obStructionists who today
are hampering this work will be only
too glad to catch on to the band Wag-
on and climb in over the tailboard.
We rejoice that such things are to be
the order of the day and that there
is room enough in the ranks of the
workers for all who will help, even
though they are tardy and come at
the eleventh hour.

Pride In Farmhouses.

Homes and farms are made beautiful
just to the extent that their owners CO.
operate with nature in surrounding
them with those things most attractive
in life, says Southwest Magazine. The
humble cottage, EMPOWERED in trees
and flowers, commands love; the pal
ace, with its marble pillars and paved
walks, only admiration. Out in the
country there are trees and meadows,
flowers and running brooks. gifts the
wealth of which no city can boast, and
those who live in the country have
unlimited possibilities for making the
home acre q place Of beauty.

Elastic.
The elastic used for garters and
many other purposes is made by weav'
Ing threads of rubber, cut Ivy ma

manufacture. The weaving is done by
a special process which permits the
elastic to lengthen without impairine

cotton or silk are woven very slack
as otherwise they would prevent the
stretching of the rubber.
