OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MARIE1TANS

Last week the Journal inaugural
ed A series of little stories of Mari
ettans". The first citizen to be sub
1ected to analysis was our popular
druggist, j. N. CAN'T and it happen
ed that the subject was baseball. OF
course we failed to mention one of
the most ardent fans that ever "sift-
ed dope on teams probabilities and
. possibilities and got the expected
call. Everybody has seen a show
and before the first act was over had
criticised the play or the actors only
to find their judgment misplaced as
the program continued and the star
got in his or her big hit.
There is not only star in the
armament of baseball fanatics in
Marietta but that star plays a double
role. Everyone knows Harry Haynes
and the reason that he didn't figure
in the cast last week was that he de-
serves a chapter to himself. There
is only one thing that Harry gives
more attention to than baseball and
that is his cleaning, pressing and
laundry business which is also a
star. If you don't believe it see
his lad" in the Journal which shines
as regular or more so than the real
stars in the sky. (the which above
refers to the ad. not the Journal, we
are not throwing boquets at our
selves)
The most admirable thing about
Harry Haynes is that no matter if
his favorite team always Atlanta)
lost every game the year through he
would be just as loyal when the sea-
son closed as when the first an
nouncement came out in the spring
We like to see a man stick to a thing
and we do not know anyone that
sticks to anything as loyalty as the
subject of this dope does to his two
hobbies-baseball and the business
that gives him the wherewithal to
purchase the staff o life as YOU have
heard him call loaf of bread at
Rogers grocery store.
Harry is also the fellow that raises
the funds every year to get the de-
tail score of the worlds champion
ship games

MOTHER
FIGHTS
OFFICER

An indignant mother, who de-
clared that her daughter was be-
ing "railroaded" to the Chehalis
training school, disrupted court
proceedings in the Pierce county
court house today when she made
vicious assault on Probation Of
ficer s. s. Healey, knocking over
a desk and chairs, battled with
two husky officers who attempt
ed to restrain her, and finally
tried to assault a girl companion
of her daughter. The mother
was finally elected from the court
house and the daughter locked in
Jail, but not until after clothing
had been torn, hair pulled out,
and faces scratched in the gener-
al scrimmage that resulted.
The battle royal between the
mother and Officers began after
Judge Clifford had sentenced
Lily Hanson, age II, to the train
ing school.
The mother, screaming with
rage, rushed upon Officer Healey.
After a desk and chairs had been
knocked over, the mother was
taken below to the jailer's office.
Here, turning her wrath upon the
Paul girl, she jerked out hand
fuls of the girls hair and spat
out invectives upon her. She was
again overpowered and taken to
the street.
The two girls were arrested
Wednesday, and Mrs. Covell, pub
lie morals officer, prepared the
charges against them.

watched by thousands of spectators Suddenly a
heavy detonation was heard Instantly the huge gas
bag was swept by flames from end to end It dropped
