December 5

A local option election under the
Beal law to determine whether sa-
looms shall be permitted to operate in
Clinton township will be held Tues
day, Dec. 8, the same date as the
election in Mt. Vernon for similar
purpose. This was determined upon
Wednesday night at meeting of the
trustees of the township when petit
ton asking for such an election was
presented. The petition contained
29O names Of qualified voters. As on
ly 25 per cent of the names of the
voters was required to have an cleo
tion, 1888 names would have been suf-
ficient. This means that nearly So
per cent or over half of the voters Of
Clinton township signed the petition.

Water PIPE
Burst At Lamb Residence And
Much Damage Done

Her attention directed to the East
Gambler street home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rex M. Lamb, now absent from the
city on visit, by stream of water
flowing from the front door, caused
Mrs. Effie P. Hildebrant, a neighbor,
TO make an investigation Wednesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, which re-
vealed that a water pipe in the house
had bursted and the water had flood.
ed the entire lower floor of the struc.
ture.
The water was shut off by employees
Of the water works, a key to the
home secured and an examination
made. This showed that the break in
the pipe occurred in the bath room
upstairs. This portion of the house
had been flooded and the water then
descended to the first story. A large
portion of the plastering on the cell
ing of the first floor had fallen, when
the sweeping water loosened it. Three
new oriental rugs, recently purchased
by Mr.. Lamb, were badly damaged by
'tEH water, In addition to numerous
articles of furniture and other fur
nishings.
1t is thought that the pipe froze and
then burst, since there was practically
no heat in the house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lamb have been away from the city
for the past several weeks, Mrs. Lamb
visiting relatives in Bexley, suburb
of Columbus, and Mr.. Lamb stopping
at Magnetic Springs.

QUARANTINE
On Hay And Straw Has Been
Modified

Washington, D. c., Nov. 19-The
provisions of the Federal guarantees
declared on account Of the foot-and-
mouth disease have been somewhat
modified in SO far as they apply to
shipments of hay and straw. The
new regulations provide that hay and
straw cut prior to August l., 1914, and
baled prior to October 1, 1914, may
be shipped without disinfection from
any Of the quarantined areas, provided
that it has been stored away from
cattle, sheep or swine. Hitherto 1t
was necessary that hay should not
only have been cut before August 1st,
but that it should also have been
baled before that date.

ter from counties where the disease

shipments may be made permits must
be obtained from the inspector in
charge Of the district in which the

uniqu. Engineering Fest.


When railroad building was under
taken in Alaska following the discov.
cry Of gold unique engineering feat
was performed. At a point eighty
miles out of Skagway the survey had
been made for the road along the shore
of a lake, but 1t was found to be 30
irregular and broken by so many coves
that the plan was adopted Of getting q
better line by lowering the level Of the
lake. This was done by cutting an
outlet channel. through which fourteen
feet Of the lake drained Of. But pres
emily the new channel. having been cut
through sandy hill, gave way, and
the escaping lake water wore an enor-
nous canyon through the country and
reduced the lake level again over sew
enty feet. A fine. level roadbed was
secured over what was formerly the
bed of the lake.-Arg0naut

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAkES.

Someone has said: There Is only one good-knowiedse; and only one eviElsnorance!"
 This is, true. Knowledge lights the way to everything which is true and good and useful; 1t reveals to the hu- man soul all that is1beautiful and gives it power to rise above that which is gross or evil
 Ignorance means darkness. If you have wandered around in the dark and bumped your head or tumbled over things you know something about the accidents and hurts which befall those without light.
 You are sent to school to awaken in you a thirst for knowledge-a de- sire to know, because to know the way of life Is to find the way eternal which Is the highest aim in life.
 To be proud of what you know is a gross manifestation of ignorance A great writer has said. the wise carry their knowledge as they do their watches, not for display, but for their own use" Not to know ones need of knowledge is the greatest ignorance.
 Your teachers are trying to awaken 3n you . spirit of inquiry so you may be alert in life as to the why and the when and the wherefore because only knowledge of causes can help you to check effects which are perilous and might be disastrous. It is pos sible to be very learned with regard to books and to be densely ignorant
