By S. 3. HUDDLESTON.

Just after the revolution there was
rush of Quakers from the northeast,
principally from Massachusetts to
Guilford and Randolph counties in
North Carolina. This move was
brought about by the persecution Of
the Quakers by the war-spirited col
onists of that day in the New England
states.
The Quakers were as much opposed
to slavery as they were to the war,
but they believed slavery would died
of its own accord soon. In the course
Of few years they found that the
slave traffic in the South was so e.
tablshed that the generation living
then would not see it's overthrow. At
the same time they saw that the
northwestern states would be forever
free.
On this account the Quakers turned
their faces in that direction and start
ed new tide of emigration to western
Ohio and Eastern Indiana, which was

HURT WHILE SPEEDING STATE REFUSES TO HELP
BRAKE GETS BLAME FOR QUITE
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Two Young Men Thrown From Mo-
torcycle Last Sunday, Driver Be-
ing Unable to Make Turn.

While riding motorcycle north on
Fairview avenue at a high rate of
speed last Sunday, "Buck" Stichler,
accompanied by Robert Muscott, was
unable to guide his machine when at
the turn into Washington street, and
as a consequence he collided with the
curb in front of C. B. Stones resi-
dence, receiving quite serious injuries.
Young Muscott escaped being hurt.
The former sustained injuries about
the neck, and his right ear was almost
severed from his head when he was
thrown from the motorcycle and col
lided with the building. The machine
mounted the curb, and lay close to the
building. When picked up he was
unconscious. He was rushed to the
Dallas hospital, where later he told
those around him that the cause OF
the accident was due to failure of the
brake to work. The motorcycle was
badly wrecked.

LINER SUNK BY SUBMARINE.
Passenger Steamship With Many
Aboard Sent to Bottom.

According to a press dispatch from
London, the British admiralty an
nounced Sunday night that Ito per-
sons, including passengers and crew,
were missing from the British steam
ship Falaba, sunk by German diver
off South Wales. One hundred and
forty persons were rescued. 1t was
also announced that twenty-three
members of the crew and three pas
sengers from the British steamship
Aquilla, also the victim of a German
submarine, were missing. A state
ment issued by the official press bur-
eau said that the Falaba carried 160
passengers and crew of 80 men. 1t
is feared that many of the passengers
were killed when the torpedo struck
the vessel. The others were drowned.
The British steamship Eileen Emma
picked up 116 of the Falaba's surviv-
ors and six of these died aboard the
ship.

Of that county, since very large

Mr.. Davis is also engaged in an at
tempt to find some means of increas-
ing the number of cows per acre of
cultivated land. His main reliance,
according to Professor F. L. Griffin,
state agent of industrial club work
for the Agricultural college, is the
growing of corn and use of corn ST.
lage. To succeed in this he must have
a good supply Of acclimated seed corn,
which he is working now to provide.
1t is said that good silage corn can
be grown in Lincoln county and that
with a good but inexpensive silo on
every dairy farm dairy dairy produc-
ton would be doubled.
In addition to demonstrating the
possibility of profitable growing
the girls and boys of the clubs are
getting the best kind of an agricul-
tural education and at the same time
earning some money for themselves.
Good seed corn Of the right variety
and type sells for about five dollars
per bushel.

secure additional clerical assistance
to meet the demand. John Richter,
who had contemplated going to AL
bany ere this, has been induced by Mr..
Holman to tarry temporarily to aid in
the treasurer's office. He is familiar
with this work, and consequently is
able to get away with it in the most
approved style of the art.
The final rush will come tomorrow,
after which date, if the first half has
not been paid, taxes will be subject
to interest at the rate of one cent per
month until August 81, when they be-
come delinquent and subject to ten

terms until May %. Taxpayers can

Community Development

trying to educate them to think about
their city. We have become agita-
tors; we are not going to leave the
agitation of public questions solely to
the people who are unwise in theil
leadership, but we are going to try to
get the people to know what really is
best for the community welfare; and
jsthis is one of the great responsible
ties and duties of the Greater Dayton
association.
"We want to develop leadership in
the community. The business men of
tine city, just like the businessmen of
any other city, do not stir until some
thing affects their own private inter
ests, and we want the business men of
the city of Dayton to be alive to the
things that must be done. We want
men to take hold of a project that is
for the best interests of the communi-
ty, and we are trying to develop that
sort of leadership. We are doing this ::
We are trying to develop civic patriot
ism. Take the men ald women every
where, and when they see an Ameri-
can flag they are inspired with
thoughts of national patriotism, be-
cause they know of Concord and Lex
ington and Bunker Hill and Valley
Forge. They know of the war of the
rebellion. They know of all the
achievements. 1t is an open thing in
each mind. But I tell you that the
young people read in the papers about
the Getty Hall gang" and they hear
the city officials exposed to disrespect,
and there is not in any metropolis, in
that connection, civic patriotism
"What are we doing to correct
thatY We are having written a short
history of the city of Dayton, suitable
to be taught in the eighth grade, and
we are going to take every measure
possible to inculcate into the children
and into the men and women of the
city of Dayton civic patriotism. We
need men and women of vision of the
community welfare, men with a vision
that righteousness exalteth a nation;
men who are filled with justice and
truth and who know how projects are
to- be urged and considered; men and
women able to understand and con-
vince others that the effort at clean
illness, beauty, order, is not purely an
effort to make people do things for the
sake of change, but that the things are
necessary to right living, to health and
clean thinking, necessary to better
government

Spangled Banner" the audience join
ing in the latter.

ROAD TO TILLAMOOK COAST
MUST BE DELAYED.
High Commission Is Financially Un-
able to Expend Necessary Sum
This Year.

The state highway commission hav-
ing declined to give financial aid to
the proposed new road in which Polk,
Yamhill and Tillamook counties are
interested, and which would give a
better grade to the Tillamook coast,
the project will have to be abandoned
for the present year. The commits
sion has not sufficient funds to con-
tribute to the construction Of this pro-
posed road, although it appreciates
the value such a highway would be to
travel to and from the coast. Com
missioners Beckett and Wells recent
ly held conference with the Yamhill
commissioners at McMinnville, and
while there the state commissioners
were consulted with the result as CIV
en- here. The road as proposed would
necessitate an expenditure of approx
mately 100000, Of which amount each
of the three counties contemplated
contributing $4,000, the remainder
to come from the state. Polk could
i'll afford to expend that sum on this
project this season, yet is had prac-
tically agreed to do so in case the
project was financed by the state to
the extent of one-half the cost. Til
lamook was slow in making good, its
court not having made any provisions
to take care of its end of the under
taking. Yamhill has appeared to be
anxious to construct the proposed
road

Henry Quiering Has Narrow Escape
From Serious Injury.

On Saturday afternoon team of
horses driven by Henry Quiering took
fright near the corner Of Main and
Clay streets and becoming unmanage-
able ran down the latter thoroughfare,
The wagon to which they were hitched
struck telephone pole in front of the
residence of l. N. Woods, tearing two
wheels off and throwing Mr.. Quiering
to the ground. The horses continued
their course, and few blocks farther
on the coupling pole caught under
and tore up crosswalk, disengaging
the wagon from the team. The AMI
mails were finally stopped on Miller
avenue. Mr.. Quiering, although bad
ly shaken up and somewhat bruised,
was not seriously injured. He was
taken to the home Of Conrad Stafrin,
where he soon recovered from the
shock.

If the hopgrowers in this vicinity

There is a tendency throughout the
country to carry community building
into the schools, and nowhere is better
success being attended from this eff
fort than at Dayton, Ohio, an ac-
count of which is given by an ex-
change. A history of the city has been
written for use in the eighth grade of
the schools there, and this is designed
to inspire young people with true con
ceptions of civic pride and the need OF
city building in the most acceptable
way. In this connection, portions of
an address by the chairman of the
Greater Dayton association presents
ideas that should prove profitable to
people of every town and city truly
interested in its general betterment.
He said:
"And so we formed the Greater
Dayton association, and the ideal of
the Greater Dayton association is not
greatness, it is not bigness, it is not
industries. The ideal of the Greater
Dayton association is service, and the
ideal of the Greater Dayton associa-
tion is true community welfare. Back
of every great forward movement
there must be the force of some ideal,
and back of the force of our move
ment was that ideal Of community
welfare. Our first great responsible
ty is to maintain and perpetuate our
city-manager form of government. Ev-
cry activity has our attention, it does
not matter what it is; every social,
every commercial activity of the city
has had our attention, and we are not
afraid to attack anything that we be-
lieve is wrong. We are not afraid to
advocate anything that we believe is
right. 1t will either affect adversely
the whole welfare of the community
or it will affect it favorably. The
first thing that we undertook was the
federation of charities. The charities
of the city of Dayton were diversified,
overlapping, and we placed them into
one body, so that we could have one
body to deal with and so that there
could be no overlapping. We have
now going on, OF will take very short
ly, surveys of poverty and crime,
housing conditions, health and SANTA
tion, etc. Mr.. Bryce, in his book on
America, said that the most evident
neglect of the people of this country
was the neglect to vote, but the great
est neglect was the neglect to think.
What we wanted to do was to get the
people of Dayton to think, and we are
