EDUCATED BULLFROG LOST;
TELLS DAY OF THE WEEK

HALIFAX, Pa, Aug. 16.-Charles
r. Swope, editor of the Halifax Ga
zette, has sent out a general alarm
to the public to watch out for one
large green highly educated bullfrog;
weight, two and one-half pounds;
answers to the name of Uncle Pefeg.
The frog disappeared last night.
Swope captured it single-handed
some time ago and quickly taught
it, he says, to stand on It's hand legs,
turn somersaults and indicate the day
of the week by the correct number of
croaks.
According to Swope-and neighbors
Uncle Peleg has voice like the
bull of Bashan, and 1t got to be such
nuisance that Swope housed the
frog in barn at night. Swope sus-
poets that Uncle Peleg was stolen
by some jealous neighbor. If the
frog is returned Swope promises to
carry his education much further

NEWARK SETS EXAMPLE AT
MUNICIPALITY LEAGUE

With a representation of five city
officials. Newark interests were well
looked after at the seventnth an
inual convention of the League of
American Municipalities at Winnipeg,
Canada, the last three days of last
week.
So well Impressed was the conven-
ton with the local representation
that City Auditor James A. Rowe
who represented the mayor, was
called upon to lead in the discussion
of a paper on Financial Administra-
ton Cities" presented by w. Sand
fprd Evans, ormer mayor of Winni-
gag. Following Mr.. Rowe's address
Newark was voted one of the most
progressive and up-to-date cities in
the league.
Mr. Rowe in his discussion touched
upon the local system, quoting prin-
scipally from his yearly report lie
Explained also that under the pres
lent system the city was often able
Ito borrow from its own sinking und,
paying interest at only 4 per cent.
This statement was questioned by
some who contended that the law
would certainly not allow such pro-
cedure.
Mr.. Rowe also presented to the con-
vention a resolution for home rule, >"
which was. adopted unanimously.
Briefly it set forth that the city gov
eminent in many cases at present
have not sufficient power, and must
run for each little thing to the Legis-
iature. This is not right, Mr. Rowe
contended. because it places the mat
ter in the hands of men unintelligent
in the local city government or its
needs.
In financial questions especially,
Mr.. Rowe contended, the present
LEGISLATORS are entirely incapable of
handling the situation.
President John II. Donnelly, of the
Common Council, was reelected as
vice-president of the league, while
City Treasurer Elmer A. Day was
elected sergeant-at-arms. Mr.. Day
was nominated for treasurer, but de-
ciined to serve, and the post of SER
geantatarms was forced upon him.
Others in the party were Alderman
Patrick II. O'Brien and w. Frank
Hopping.
