She SAYS GIRLS have
Right TO SHOW FORMS

Xenia, Ohio, Oct 9-Women's dress
precipitated lively discussion at the
closing session of the Ohio w. C. T. U
convention. A clause in a resolution
Ceplored THAT many of our women
and girls appear on the streets in dress
unbecoming and immodest." This drew
forth warm rejoinder from Mrs. Lucy
Van Kirk, of Newark, editor of the
Ohio Messenger.
She said that although the thing WAS
favorite topic, particularly of mea
she saw in Cleveland, Columbus AMI

ACCIDENTS At
CROSSING ARE
SAFEGUARDED
ELECTRIC BELLS INSTALLED
As Safeguards Against Acct
dents There

The Americas authorities require
that trains operated through the city
reduce speed to fifteen miles an hour
at street crossings, and the ordinance
may or may not be observed, but at
all events no other collisions with al
tomobiles or wagons have resulted
here recently. Thomasville goes Am
CIRCUS one better in the line of protec-
ton against accidents. Down there
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad has
installed the bell system of gong al
arms at some of the principal street
crossings in that city There have
been some narrow escapes from SER
ious accidents there of late at these
crossings, the occupants of automu'
biles having come very near to being
killed by engines of the road and the
city council petitioned the officials tc
put in a system of alarms to avert tbs
danger and also to save the road what
might be heavy suits for damages.

"NIGGER In WOODPILE"
WHERE fire STARTED
Found Lying Drunk Near the
Blaze

A midnight blaze in a yard in me
rear of the Kelley stables had the
fire department busy for few min
utes early yesterday morning. The
fire was found in large pile of cord
wood stored there, and the presence
OF a drunken negro, lying fast asleep
near the burning pile, induced the be-
lief that he might have started the
blaze by accident. He was carted t.
the city coop, and a more comforta-
BILE roosting pole furnished him at
the usual $40 rate for unfrilled jags.

One person wants fowls for the pro-
duction of eggs, and, therefore, will
want the breed whose hens prove to
be the best layers. Another wants
the best table fowl, and an entirely
different breed will be selected. The
third man wants fowl with GER

price for it. A farmer living several

fidence he has consistently maintained

no wavcrfng In his position that the pro-
visions regarding the composition OF the
Federal Reserve Board, about which
much criticism has come from the
bankers Of the country, are fundamental
features of the bill That he viii not
consent to any change In this section Of
the measure Ii more than ever apparedt
That the question Of rural credits may
be brought up in connection with the
curreHcy iegislation was indicated this
when Congressman ]. w. Rags

gestion pertaining to agriculture" In
