DUNDORE RESIGNS
Accepts Position With Ma
rion Department co.

Pearl f. Dundore. one of the most
experienced and efficient furniture
men in the city has resigned his po-
sition as manager of the Hoover
Rowlands company. to accept that of
head salesman of the Marion Depart
ment company. Mr.. Dundore took
charge of the opening of the Hoover
Rowlands company's local store
shortly after the McClain company
in whose service he remained eleven
years, closed their bushes in this
city. Because of Mr.. Dundore's per-
sonal popularity and efficiency as a
salesman the Hover Rowland COM
pany gained a large portion of the
McClain clientele and made many
new friends. So well did they think
of Mr.. Dundore's service that they
made him a most fattering offer in
connection with their Canton store.
The Department company is fortu-
nate in securing a salesman equal to
the demands of any bushes or con-
dition. He will assume his new du-
ties at once.

WOMEN VOTE
Claridon Has a Very Lively
Primary.
ITO save The HIGH SCHOOL
Women Were Made Leave
Their Kitchens.
Every Woman Called for Repub-
lican Ticket When She Faced the
Election Officers flight on the
other Ticket was Lacking.

Women figured prominently in the
primary held in Claridon township,
South precinct Tuesday, as the re-
port received by the election board in
dicates. Just 92 members of the fair
sex cast their ballots for members of
the schoolboard in the township and
the candidates favored by them we're
elected
1t Is peculiar that Of the 92 women
voting, not one cast ballot for q
Dc mocratic member of the school
board. The Republicans polled IT'S
votes and 92 of these were women
The Democrats failed to arouse much
enthusiasm and only % appeared at
the primaries.
The fight in Calridon, South. is
over the keeping up or doing away
with an advanced school in Claridon.
The advanced school Is taught by n
special teacher and IL makes IL pos
sible for older pupils who have fin
lshed In the common schools to go n
trifle higher and get some of the
work that Is given in the city high
schools
Word leaked out early Tuesday
morning that certain of the school
board aspirants intended to do away
with the advanced school on ac-
count of the expense. Citizens be-
came enraged and telephones were
called into use. Men drove fur,
iously about and aroused their neigh
bors Throughout the country TO ac-
ton. Farmers were taken from their
work and housewives from their daily
duties to go to the polls and vote to
save the institution which was re-
Gently established.
At the. polls there was excitement
aplenty. Those who favored one side
or another engaged in arguments and
at one time it was feared that seri-
Gus trouble would result. Even wom-
en- got into the arguments and told
their side of the story. Being sure
that three of the candidates favored
the continuance of the advanced
school the women voted in bunches
SC to speak, and there was soon lit
| tie doubt as to the outcome.
Men, some of them old politicians
say that the women saved the day

time In the past when the mother

Recently there was trouble in Clar.

A quite large attendance marked
the opening session of the annual
meeting of the Ohio Free Baptist AS
sociation in the local church Tuesday
evening. Much interest has already
been aroused and with the coming OF
more delegates and visitors today
the meeting will be full of enthus-
iasm.
At the service Tuesday evening.
the church was quite well filled and
the pastor Rev. George Il. Barnard
introduced Rev. w. ]. Fulton, presl-
dent of the association of the Ohio
Free Baptist churches, who was in
charge of the services to be conduct
ed. Rev. T. o. Reed, of Westerville,
Ohio, was introduced and read the
scripture lesson from 1 Corinthians
10. After prayer by Rev. George e.
Moore, of Rochester, Rev. John M.
Davis of Rio Grande preached the
sermon of the occasion taking his
text from / Corinthians 1871, When
| was child, | spake as child,
understood as a child, thought as a
child; but when | became a man
Put away childish things"
"A manly man." said the speaker,
should look toward what is to be
done in the future and not what is
to be enjoyed in the present. This
trait of childhood, ever seeking for
the present, Is very deplorable in the
man. 1t should be gotten away with
by every manly man or noble woman
This is a childish trait which it Is
we'll to put aside"
Rev. Mr.. Davis, spoke of the var
ious traits which are worthy of keep
ing fresh in ones life, after they
have been cultured in childhood
days.
"The child possesses a very won
derful love of the beautiful and has
a childish approval of all things
which are pure and holy This trait
OF childhood should be preserved
and would appear we'll in the life of
men. The chllds willingness to trust
is another very estimable trait which
should be cultivated by the mature
man and woman. The ability OF the
child to quickly forget differences
is very enviable trait which should
b. found in the character OF the men.
There are many traits OF the child
which are sometimes forgotten but
which one should seek to preserve to
the fullest extent.
Let us mourn over the banished
love OF our childhood. think that
they might play greater part In
our life. 1t Is a loss when these
characteristics fade from our lives.
Let us restore them to our souls even
now.
There are also many traits OF
childhood which should be banished.
Among these Is fclleness. To be
overwhelmed by an appetite for Inn
mediate qualification Is also unde-
sirable. Men should be strong against

the transient influence of evil and
not act as children at any time"
In closing the minister spoke Of
the growth of the association and
compared the traits of childhood in
the men who have played great
part in the history of the church.

 The Maps are bound to clean up on Washington and against every pitcher who usesA an out-drop curve against thenl the coming season. 7 They say so themselves. and this confidence Is half the nattls, They haye , suifersd a,sh. iong ,g by Tom Hughes. Charley Smith. Wal ter Johnson and other stwirlsrs using those tantalizing drop curves. and in- tend to rise in all their might ana and the Maps say that their days will start on April 14 next, and will not terminate until they have cleaned up on Tom Hughes amt others of his kilt The Maps realize their. weakness against this sort of pitching. They also fully, realize wherein. they have made their mistake. year after; year. They have not been patient enough: Patience will eyer be rewarded. and this was more than forced nome upon Birmy. Hihch. Sfovali.4- Brad. Turner and others who were weak against this particular brand of pitching. It will be different the coming season. So say the Maps who are here and they are confident that the absent Nappfes will make good their prophecy. It will be a case of wait. wait; wait with the Nap batters when they face Hughes, John son 6 Company next season. There will be no wild and proniiscuous swing tHe. dt Wtucit todt-uiops' EOt oy O 1Ao- bile minA julep. which latter Is pret- ty good ', ,hen you consider that Mobile is a dry town. Heretofore it has been . case, of walk right up. swing. swing. swing, and walk right back again" Never again!" say the Maps. They intendSAo make those out-drop Ringers work. They. will help them no more. There, won't be any more of that wild swinging. Hughes and the others won't get away with four to seven balls an inning against the Maps the fortunate to get through an inning with less stiian fifteen,to twenty pitch- ed balls. There can be but one result. The Naps will loom up stronger and the opposition twfrlers will be weak CT. When twirier gets through six innings with en average of about six or seven balls per, it stands to reason that he must be just as strong at the finish as when he started. If, on the other hand. the Maps keep Hughes. Johnson & Company busy ringing fif- early rounds. watching the wide out curves go by without offering at them, 1t also stands to reason that these pitchers will not be nearly as strong In the last three as in the first six rounds Another thing in the Naps' favor is this: If the pitchers who have been their hoodoos in the past once learn that the Maps win not offer at the oid-tfme foolers.. they will endeavor to put a fast one, across the plate, and if only occasionally. the Napr are sure good their determination. the Wash ington pitchers must have something to dish up to them In addition to their out t-drops.
