PRISONER
Gives Chief Clements The
Slip On A Train
Thomas Harrington ERfOute
To Works Escapes
And Columbus Officers Now
Searching For Him

Thomas Harrington, who was be
ing taken to the Dayton workhouse on
Friday afternoon, made get away
from Chief of Police Clements on a
Pennsylvania train just as the train
was pulling into Columbus.
Harrington made an excuse to
Chief Clements that he desired to go
to the rear of the car to get a drink
of water. Just as the train passed
Cleveland avenue, Columbus, Har-
rington jumped off and his escape
was not discovered by Chief Glenn
ents until the train had reached the
union station. Chief Clements re-
ported the escape to the Columbus
police department Immediately after
his arrival in that city and search
of the city is being made by the po-
lice in hopes of locating the man.
Chief Clements remained in Colum-
bus all night and Saturday in an ef-
fort to run down the prisoner who
made the getaway.
Chief Clements was taking Harring-
ton to the Dayton workhouse to serve
sentence for bootlegging, having
been convicted before Mayor Perrine
some time ago.

PUBLIC
Protected From SWindIerS BY
New Blue Sky Law

Printing quantities of pretty yellow
certificates and unloading them on
the gullible public, under the guise OF
bonds and securities, will be a diff
cult and risky undertaking in Ohio
hereafter, says the Coumbus Dis
patch.
The much-talked-of "blue-sky" law,
designed to protect investors against
stock swindlers, took effect Friday.
Hereafter promoters with glowing
schemes and large quantities of flow
cry conversation will have to convince
the skeptical agents of the state bank
ing department that their propositions
really have merit before they will be
permitted to sell their issues in Ohio.
Practically all of the reputable Sc
curities dealing firms of the state had
qualified with the banking department
by Thursday night and were author
in their business. They welcome the
advent Of the law, as it frees their
business from the swindlers who have
shaken the public confidence in Sc
curities generally.
Before the law took effect Friday
anybody could take a piece of blank
paper, have it properly Autographed
call it what he pleased and sell it to
whoever would buy. Ohio has been
rich picking for promoters of mines
that never existed, oil we'll companies
with pretty names and nothing else,
and development companies with real
estate that was visible only at low
tide, and like bunco projects.
Under the law several classes of Sc.
curities are exempted. 1t does not in
clude Ohio public bonds, standard list
ed stocks, mortgages on Ohio real es-
tate and certain financial institutions
which are otherwise under the regula-
ton of the state.

CORN is HARD hit
BY The DROUGHT
Loss Of Three Hundred Million
Bushels Is Noted.

Washington, Aug. ga loss Of S00,-
100000 bushels of corn, the nations
greatest farm crop, has resulted fro.n
great damage from drought and other
conditions since July 4, the govern
ment's agricultural experts estimated
In their August crop report. A total
production of 2,672,OO0,000 bushels of
corn was predicted. This is $4,000
900 bushels less than last years crop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1853 per cent Of normal
compared with S6,9 on July /. Kan.
sas was hardest hit, the condition
there being reduced from 81 per cent
in July to 80 per, cent on Aug. L.
Oklahoma came next, with a condi-
tion of "A, against 81 in July, and Ne
braska reported 81, against 81 July l.
A bright spot in the monthly grain
report, however, was the preliminary
statistics showing production OF
511 900, 900 bushels of winter wheat.
This is the greatest harvest Of wheat
ever gathered in the United States.

NO WEDDING BELLS
In Holmes County Have Rung Since
July Is

No 8 wedding bells are ringing
throughout Holmes county these
August days and the only echoes sent
back to the distant hills are the love
songs of the crickets chirping in the
twilight shades. Several couples are
waiting at the church but no father
can give or barter away bride until
Governor Cox comes to the rescue,
and raises the embargo by appoint
ing a probate judge to issue marriage
licenses.
Probate Judge Tanneyhill died on
July Is and no successor has been
appointed to fill the place. This is
not because of lack of political tim
ber but because of an over supply.
The hills of Holmes county are
swarming with politicians and the
governor is overwhelmed with appli-
cations for the place. Until he makes
a selection, no marriage license can
be issued and Cupid is balked at the
altar.

OPPORTUNITY
For Mt. Vernon To Secure
Big Cigar Plant
Pittsburgh Company Wants
To Locate Here

Negotiations between the Webster
Cigar Co, of Pittsburg, Pa, and the
Mt. Vernon Citizens Association,
now under way, may result in that
company establishing a large factory
in Mt. Vernon to manufacture cigars
on large scale.
Mr.. w. D. Phillips of Pittsburg,
representative of the Webster Co.,
was in the city Saturday inyestigat-
ing conditions here.
The above mentioned firm is now
located in Pittsburg They are now
experiencing some trouble with their
employees, alleged to have been
stirred up by outside influence. The
factory will, if brought to Mt Vernon,
employ from fifty to two hundred per-
sons. Seventy FIVE per cent of the
workers will be girls A location has
already been chosen by the company
on condition that they come here
They ask for bonus Of $4,000 to de-
fray the additional expense of moving
here and also of breaking in new
girls.
The proposition, according to the
opinion of Secretary L. A. Stream,
looks. like good one for Mt. Vernon.

MEETS BANKERS
OF CENTRAL WEST
McAdoo Makes Arrangements
For Distribution Of Millions.
WILL ASSIST IN MOVING CROPS

by the Currency Bill.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The $50 ,000,-

posted in the national banks OF the
west and south to assist in moving the
crops will be increased to $3.50, 900 900
II necessary. The desire of the gov
eminent to mobilize all the needed
cash Of the treasury in the agricul-
tural belts of the country to avert the
money stringency characteristic of
the crop-moving period, was commu-
nicated to banks of the central west
at a conference with Secretary Nc
Adoo and Assistant Secretary John
SHELTON Williams, called by the treas.
ury department to make arrange
ments for the distribution of the big
sum.
While these representative finan-
ciers, fresh from the crop-marHeting
centers of the middle states, vel.
coined the prospect of the proposed
deposits, the consensus Of opinion, it
was stated, seemed to be that $780,.
100000 would be ample to meet the
situation.
The dominant tone of the bankers
expressed convictions was, the treas.
ury announced, that business condi-
tions are good. but that the promised
deposits would relieve the usual
strain.
The 81 bankers gathered at the
meeting seized the opportunity to pre-
sent their views on currency legisla-
tion to the government. They urged
two material amendments to the
pending Glass-Owen bill-one curtail-
Ing the powers of the federal reserve
board proposed to control the re-
serve bank system, and the other es-
sentially modifying the reserve re-
quirements of the measure, so as to
minimize the decentralization of cred
its. With these changes, 1t was
stated, all but two of the 81 bankers
favored immediate banking and cur
rency legislation.
Amendments to the bill were pro-
posed to Chairman Owen Of the SEN
ate finance committee, after the con-
ference with treasury officials regard
ing the deposits. 1t was urged that
the federal reserve board be deprived
of all powers of initiative, lodging
that function with the proposed ad-
visory board, composed of bankers.
This provision would confine the
administrative activity of the federal
reserve beard to the approval or dis
approval of suggestions from advisory
council. The bankers argued that the
federal reserve board should be strip
ped of administrative powers, and
mace essentially regulatory body.

TRICKS OF LIGHT.
Why People Sometimes Feel Dull or
Uncomfortable at Table.

Why People Sometimes Feel Dull or
Uncomfortable at Table.
How few people realize that they
are actually suffering from snow Blind
ness In miniature every time they
read or work over q white surface on
which brilliant light shines directly.
Half tone paper, for instance, which is
the common medium for the majority
of books we read. will throw blind
the light strikes it at the wrong angle,
and it forms an excellent test for the
selection of proper lighting for a room
and for the placing of the lighting fix
lures, for lighting diffusion should be
such as to allow comfortable reading
from half tone paper in any position.
A dome hanging above dining table
on which is white cloth causes the
light to reflect into the eyes of those
around the table at an angle that pro-
duces muscular strain. This has q
peculiar effect upon the senses, and
drowsiness and mental inertia are apt
to result People are apt to complain
of feeling of dullness at table or
that they have indigestion when 1t is,
in reality, the effect Of the light.
A too brilliant light shining directly
into the eye plays many curious psy-
Geological tricks. Deaf people, for in
stance. cannot hear so well if they
are facing brilliantly lighted room,
and, as for being able to see better by
bright light than by dim one, ex-
actly the reverse is the case, for de-
tail of objects become practically lost
to the eye when too much light enters
it.-Suburban Life Magazine.

Vain Desires.

I want to be elemental,
To wear skins and kill my own grub;
Like the cave men of old

And WOO me a bride with my club.
I want to be elemental,
In primitive fashion to dwell.
But my barbarous wife
Just dotes on the life
or blasted expensive hotel!
