WEAVER
THE VICTIM Of
AUTOMOBILE

Elmer Weaver, young farmer who re-
sides on the s. j. Vining farm, southwest Of
town, is still In a precarlous condition as
the result OF injuries sustained about 1850
O'Clock last Monday evening. when he was
struck and run over by an automobile
driven by Banker Henry Lennartz. His
left shoulder was disloeated, three ribs
on the right side broken, and he suffered
internal injuries which are still making his
condition serious and ultimate recovery
doubtful.
The accident occurred at the corner Of
Main and Wayne streets, and while con-
nlcting stories are told as to the accident
seems that the young man, who was rid
nR bicycle was struck by Mr.. Lennartz's
machine. which knocked him down and
passed over him. The machine was not
carrying lights, and I'm the darkness the
young man did not see the car until II was
almost upon him. He attempted to turn
his bicycle aside. but failed.
DR.. Oordier was almost on the scene OF
the accident with HIS car when 10 occurred.
and he hurried the unconscious man to his
home.
Mr.. Weaver is "a years OF age and mar
ried, and Is son OF Docn Weaver.
Mr.. Lennnrtz, his family and some friends
who were in the big touring car, feel that
young Weaver only collided with the side
OF the machine, and that II did not pass
over him.

SANDLES ASKING
QUESTIONS

How can black COW, fed on green grass,
give white milk? The Bible does not relate
all the miracles. How can a citizen become
progressive and keep In touch with the
world that moves. The man who is willing
to spend Il dollar where 1t will return to
him more than one hundred cents worth Of
benefit is keeping step with common sense
and marching to the music OF good invest
ment. The man or woman who travels and
goes away from home once in while often
finds bargain counter.
Last year, at the Chic state Fair, a farmer
purchased one hog that paid his expenses to
Columbus several times over. besides Inn
proving the breed OF hogs in his neighbor-
hood. city man who owned farm, while
in the great Agricultural Hall at the State
Fair In 1910 discovered variety OF corn that
added several bushels to his yield per acre
In 1911. He made more than the legal rate
OF Interest on the money which he spent by
coming to Ohios big Exposition.
The state Fair Is great picture, painted
by the brush of toll and skill. dippedin In brain
and sweat. Some farmers farm because
they have to, while others farm because
farming pays. Some business men are in
business because they can't get out; others
are in business because they are making
money. Few OF us work for our health.
Many patriot is friend of the dear people
at their expense. The Exposition helps
every branch OF business and tends to add
to the profits Of human endeavor. The
State Fair is the guide-bOard pointing to
higher ideals and better methods. The EX-
position is the store-house of what has been
accomplished In all the centuries. Dull in
deed is he who would neglect an opportun-
ity to see the finished products Of all the
ages. The time taken to visit the State
Fair is we'll spent. The money required is a
small amount and we'll invested with large
dividends certain. Many things are done
which do not pay profit, but seeing and
studying the Ohio Exposition will pay more
than hundred per cent. The date is the
last week in August. 1t will pay to borrow
the money, If that be necessary, to come.

NO RELIEF FOR
BEAVER FARMERS

County Auditor Morrow yesterday after
noon received a letter from the State
Board OF Public Works stating that they
would not decrease the volume Of water
going over the waste weir of the west bank
at the present time by increasing the fiow
at the bulkhead at the east end.
The letter was in answer to one written
by Prosecutor Romer several weeks ago.
No acknowledgment had been received
until last Tuesday, when Mr.. Romer visited
Columbus and incidentally called attention
to the matter. Then they lost no time In
answering, but as Mercer County residents
were occupying n good deal OF the stage
and causing them undue (?) annoyance
I'm their peculiar and hRrd-to-understand
relation to the Auglaize Power Co.. they
undoubtedly folt they could even up mat
ters by refusing to lessen the flow OF water
into Beaver. Mr.. Morrow stated that. from
the tone OF the letter. 1t was not likely
that the Board would pay any further at
tention to the supplications OF those who
have been seeking relief by having some Of
the overflow turned to the east.

MA CAN'T VOTE

Mas a graduate of college, and she's
read most everything;
She can talk in French an German, she
can paint and she can sing
Beautiful! She's like picturel When she
talks she makes you think
OF the sweetest kind of music, and she
doesn't smoke or drink.
Oh, l can't begin to tell you all the poems
she can quote;
She knows more than half the lawyers
do; but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters, ma must
always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to make
his meaning clear.
If he needs advice, her judgement, he adj
mits, is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers, mostly
at his own request
She keeps track of legislation, and is
taxed on bonds and stocks,
But she never gets look-inat the sacred
ballot box.
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for he's
not a graduate,
And l doubt if he could tell you who sis
governing the state.
He has never studied grammar, and II
bet he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived thousand or two
thousand years ago.
He could never tell us how to keep the
ship of state ahoat,
For he doesn't know there's such thing
but ma can't vote.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling they
got up a short debate
That was OH tariff question; he sup
posed h. I'd it straight
But before I'd finished talking he
threw up Ills hands and said
That he'd not read much about it, nor re-
membered what he'd read.
He's to badly rushed to study how to-
better human lives,
Still he looms up Ikea giant when cleo
ton time arrives.
Mrs. Gookins does our washing, for she
has to help along,
Taking care other six children, though
her husband S big and strong
When he gets job, he only holds it till
he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for wlliskey, or
else CANDLES it away
l suppose his brain's no bigger than the
brain of any goat,
And he'd trade his ballot for a drink
but ma can't votel
