She recalled many pleasant mem.
cries of the times in Big River; of
their annual picnic made up of the
Sunday School and surrounding
districts. How we were all glad to
meet again and greet our old friend,
Mrs. Bliss, and in memory of the
old times she presented to her in
the name of her many friends gath.
cred there, a solid silver knife and
fork and spoon with the request
that she use them daily. Grandma
Bliss then responded in her own
beautiful way; how dear her friends
were to her and how glad she was
to meet SO many there that day.
She did not need that token to re-
mind her of their love, but never
the-less she would use them with
pleasure. That day would always
be a bright spot in her memory, and
she thanked them all for the gift.

Getting the
Strategic
Position

I'm commerce. as in warfare, it
i is usually the man holding
the best strategic position that
wins. The only times when he
doesn't are when he fails to
note the superior advantages of
his location. The parcel post,
once dreaded by the small mer-
chant as giving an added advan-
tage to his big competitor, the
mail order house. has really
placed him in a superior strate
gic position. He is now the CEN
ter of a district extending fifty
miles In every direction wherein
be can ship goods at a much
lower postal rate and much more
expeditiously than any one out
side that zone.
A leaf from the book of his an
cient competitors, the mail order
concerns. might aid him in reap
ing the fruits Of his advantage.
PEOPLE will not send half thou
sand miles or more and wait a
fortnight for something that
they can get as readily from the
man nearer home, delivered al
most overnight.

SHERIFF F! AGA!NlN

Sheriff Cummings Assists Sheriff Rock
Of Harrison County in Captur-
ING Young Horse Thief.
CAPTURED WEST OF DUNLAP
Had Passed Worthless Check on Dun
IT, M-~~h9r+ and Admitted He
was Just Out Of Reform School

Sheriff H. J, Cummings seems to be
living up to his reputation of running
down and capturing horse thieves fol
only last week he figured in a sensa
tional capture of young horse thie1
four miles west of Dunlap. Sheriffs
of surrounding counties, who are on
the lookout for thieves. realizing Mr.
Cummings ability in this line, call up
on him to assist them in running
down their victims.
The above mentioned capture oc.
Cured on Saturday last at 3 o'clock in
the morning when Sheriff. Rock, as
sisted by Deputy Sheriff M. D; Myers,
Sheriff Cummings, of Crawford coun-
ty, Roy Davis and Claude Kelly, two
farmers near Pisgah, apprehended a
young man four miles west of Dun
lap with a bay team, spring covered
conveyance, blankets, rifle, a large
supply of cartridges and camp equip
age. The young man admitted that
he had taken the team from or near
Osceola, Clark county, Iowa, but the
buggy he had traded for the spring
covered conveyance as it suited his
purpose better He also admitted that
he was just out of the reform school
and he had on his personal check OBJ
tanned SIG worth of merchandise and
the remaining amount in cash from
one of the merchants of Dunlap.
The young man is quoted as telling
the other prisoners that he had
made $500 in the week past by similar
methods with merchants elsewhere. He
is about 10 years of age.
The young mans apprehension was
brought about by the two Persia
farmers who observed the camper"
and his camp equipage and when he
disappeared they missed brides, horse
blankets and celluloid rings. They
phoned to Logan Friday but Sheriff
Rock was away, and about 10:30 they
went to Logan with q touring car and
took the two officers to Dunlap, where
e was heading late in the afternoon.
At Dunlap the officers went west and
found his first camping ground, but
the lad was not there; however, by
the use of the flashnght Sheriff Rock
traced him to a second camping
ground, where, with little trouble, he
was taken into custody.
As the team checked to dot with
the description which Mr. Rock had
received from Clark county of a team
stolen there recently, Mr.. Rock wired
the sheriff that his missing property
was awaiting him.
