The Swartz Family Reunion.

Uncle John Cochran who recently
returned with his wife from visit
| of several weeks at their old home
at Redwood. Ohio, has handed us a
copy of the Redwood Gazette con-
| tanning the following account of the
first annual reunion of the Swartz
family near Redwood, which he and
Mrs. Cochran attended:
The first annual reunion of the
Swartz family was held Thursday,
Oct. 2. at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy billiard, one mile north of the
power house. The relatives arrived
early at the billiard home, coming
by way of the c., M. S. & N. traction
and the Hooking Valley railroad. The
cars were met by big wagons and the
short drive was much enjoyed. The
company numbered 100 and the old
est members of the family present
were Aaron Swartz, of Radnor, Da-
vid SwartZ OF Redwood, Mrs. John
Cochran, OF Leon, Iowa and Mrs. Apn
Waring, Of Ostrander.
Upon the arrival or the large COM
panv at the scene of the reunion,
greetings were exchanged, the meet
ing of the older persons being quite
affecting. Mr.. and Mrs. John COch-
ran, who came here from Leon. Iowa,
had not met their relatives for thir
ty-eight years. The history Of the
Swartz family has been traced back
to the year 1865, when Lawrence J.
Swartz was born. He married Mar
garet Shoup, who was born in the
same year. Ten children were born
to their union. About the year 1903
the couple settled in Thompson
township, Delaware county, and
many of their descendants now are
living in this section.
At the noon hour the members Of
the large company were invited to
find seats about the long tables
which were spread under tent
40x60 feet in size. The dinner was
a most elaborate one and was en-
joyed to the utmost by all. Ice
cream and cake were served through
out the afternoon. Following the
dinner the hours were spent socially
and music was furnished by Mrs.
Drake and her music class, Misses
Mabel Richey, Iona Wright and Alma
Hildreth. An election of officers was
held, resulting as follows, Mrs David
Swartz of Radnor, president; Will
liam Swartz, of Redwood, secretary;
William L. Swartz, of Ostrander,
treasurer; executive committee, Cory
Allen, of Redwood, Earnest Swartz,
of Ostrander, and J. D. Newell, of
Upper Sandusky A vote of thanks
was rendered the officers for the past
year and also to Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Hilliard, for their hospitality. 1t was
decided to hold the reunion next year
at the home of David and William
Swartz, near Redwood, Tuesday of
State Fair week, 1914.

building which the people of Amiens
put up in the same place when they
had sufficiently recovered from the
losses of the invasion was destroyed
by lightning in 1919. The next struc-
ture was burned in 1107 and the one
that replaced it was struck by light
ming in 1918 and completely ruined.
In 1920 the present cathedral was be-
gun. Even that has not escaped en-
tirely from the lightning and con-
flagration that had wrecked so many
structures in the same spot. In 1858.
before the work was completed, the
woodwork caught fire, and was SO
badly charred that part of it had to
be taken down and rebuilt Traces
of fire may still be seen on some OF
the arches. Later the slim central
spire, which is one of the striking
features of Amiens Cathedral, was
so badly damaged by lightning that
it had to be made over.
The chief treasure of ATf1iens is
part of the alleged head of John the
Baptist, naturally religious relic OF
extraordinary interest. 1t is kept in
the chapel of Saint John Baptist, and
shown only at the most important
ceremonies. All that remains is the
front part of the skull, including the
face. and this is inclosed in a hood
of silver gilt. The relic is said to
have been kept for long time in
one of the churches in Asia, from
which it was removed to Constanti-
NOBLE, and later taken from that
city to Amiens, where it has rested
ever since.

Four-Year-Old Girl, Tagged,
Crosses Two Continents

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The child
that attracted the most attention on
board the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, ar
irving yesterday from the Weser, was
-year-old Margaretha Ritsehen,
with a placard stitched to the skirt
of her dress on which is written in
several different languages:
please take care of me.
81 am going to my mama.
please do not kiss me-"
1t seems that Margarethas father
died in a town not far from Vienna,
and her mother married again. The
mother emigrated with her new hus-
band to Kenwood, Sonora county,
Cal, leaving the child behind in the
care of a relative.
When she was ready to receive
curly haired little Margaretha the
mother sent passage money to the old
country and directed that her daugh-
ter be shipped.

GaynOr's Billboard Probe
Condemns Huge Signs


= NEW YORK, Oct. AFTER an
eight months study of the billboard
problem in New York, the special
commission appointed by the late
Mayor Gaynor has arrived at its con-
illusions, which are embodied in a
book of more than $50 pages.
The findings of the commission arc
that the billboard constitutes a nui-
sance because of its unsightliness,
that it constitutes q further fire haz-
ard in many places and also a menace
to public health on account of the
rubbish it often hides Restriction of
the use of the billboard is recon-
mended. including proposals to tax
such advertisements to establish q
censorship upon designs; to authorize
health officials to prohibit large eeo-
trio signs where they are found to
interfere with sleep in residential
districts and both health and fire
officials to order removal of all signs
which are menace to health and
safety.

Federal Control First Step
to Stop Floods, Say Officials

WASHINGTON, Oct. THAT the
first step toward preventing recur-
renee of the floods which devastated
the Ohio Valley last spring is to give
the federal government entire control
of all unnavigable as well as navi-
gable streams in the valley is the
opinion of the Board of Army Engi-
neers appointed by Secretary of War
Garrison to investigate the inunda-
ton and it's causes.
Artificial contraction of river chan
nels and their adjacent flood plains,
which caused the disaster, the board
declared, can be prevented only by
control by the government without
interference from the state authori-
ties The report is, approved by
Brigadier- General Rossell, chief Of
engineers. and by Secretary of War
Garrison.
