BROKEN
We're Two Large Glasses In
The RingwaIt Store
In Most Mysterious Manner.
Police Investigate

Two large plate glass panels of the
display windows of the J. S. Ringwalt
Co. were broken some time Friday
night by heavy objects thrown or
hurtled against them. There is an
unusual absence of clues and the po-
lice department is at loss to know
what caused the breakage
The broken windows were discov-
cred early Saturday morning when
employees of the Ringwalt store came
to work. The front panel of the
south show window is broken near
the frame and a Jagged crack extends
upward. The north panel in the en-
trance is shattered also, but not so
badly. Both windows will have to
be replaced The glass is 5-16
of an inch thick.
Various theories were set forth by
bystanders Saturday morning. Since
traces of mud appeared on both win
dows, it was pointed out that an auto.
mobile may have struck some stones
a glancing blow and sent them against
the windows. There were slight
traces of stone on the window frames.
The theory of vandalism was also ad-
vanced.
A bolt of fencing in front of the
Bird hardware store was found in the
gutter Saturday morning. Whether
this has any connection with the
broker windows cannot be ascertain
ed.
The city police department is
working on the case, but has little to
go on.

If the European war keeps up much
longer all the walnut trees In Leaven-

will be cut down. Three gangs of men
are at work cutting and saving the
trees and shipping the timber to the
east.
The walnut timber is wanted for gun
stocks, and big price is paid for it.
1t is all sawed into short lengths and
rushed to the gun manufacturers in the
east by fast freight A Kansas City
firm Is buying the walnut trees and
getting out the lumber. All trees six
inches in diameter are taken. Those
selling the trees have not been told
for which country they are being pur-
chased
One manufacturing company in the
east is reported to have received an
order for 100000 rifles to be shipped
to the allies as soon as possible. These
guns require stock of black walnut,
the wood that is found to be the most
suitable for the purpose

LINCOLN JUBILEE

Chicago, Aug. 21-The story Of the
progress of the negro race during the

lee and Century Exposition. The

uel Fallows has headed the commits
sion which arranged the Exposition,
and Cardinal Gibbons is one Of the
honorary vice-presidents.
The Exposition will be formally
opened tomorrow, and will continue
until September IS, during which per-
led official delegations of negroes will

it's is collection of Lincoln relics,

RACES
A Disappointment Last Day
Of The Fair
Rain Also Interferes With
The Events

The concluding races of the 1915
Knox county fair proved big disap.
pointment to large crowd of people
which thronged the tracks early in
the afternoon. One event, the 2:2b
trot, was cancelled altogether be.
cause of lack of entries, while the
final heat Of the 2:12 pace was not
run on account of rain.
Five of the seven entries in the
2:20 trot composed the horses in the
1927 trot and, as there were no more
entries, the race was declared off.
Although the races were not fast or
exciting in themselves, two events
happened which livened up the crowd
considerably. The first came in the
initial heat of the 2:12 pace, when
one Of the lines of Jimmy Valentine
snapped.
The accident occurred Just opposite
the grandstand on the other side of
the track. AS soon as the line broke,
the negro driver hoped off and the
horse started into run. 1t lead the
other three PAGERS twice around the
half-mile track and many onlookers
thought that force of habit might
force it to stop then.
The horse had not recovered from
its flight, though, and circled the
track once more. AS it approached the
judges stand, Mr.. John E. Ward
threw blanket over it's head and it
instantly slowed down. Mr.. Jay His
song grabbed at its bride and brought
the horse to stop
The animal was pretty we'll wind
ed as the result of it's long run and,
blindfolded by the blanket, had
grazed the wire along the track with
it's shoulder. 1t was put in the
charge of DR.. E. C. Limbaugh, who
dressed bad wound on its shoulder.
The other event which proved a
little exciting was the parley between
the driver of Robert C in the 2:27
trot and Starter F. D. Woodland. In
the first heat, the driver claimed that
Starter Woodland had allowed him
to get away in a break. In the t.rd
heat, he drew up in front of the pole
horse and, when reprimanded by
Woodland, justified his action BY his
poor start in the first heat A few
words passed between the two before
calm and order were restored.

ments, says the Newark American.
Tribune.
He is giant and an athlete and
has been employed as pipe line
foreman in the gas fields of this and
Knox counties. OF such robust phys.
ique is he that Deputy Sheriff Legge
found some diff ulty in getting his
exact fit in the new spring effects in
handouts. The fellow had cleaned
up an ice cream parlor and was sing
ing and screaming through the streets
of the town till he had been locked up
by local officers.
Holman will be held the five days
possible under the statutes and in
the meantime the Utica court has as
sessed fine of S25 against him for
the boisterous fun he had in the ice
cream parlor. 1t will hold him till it
is sure whether or not he is insane.
He had been drinking, and the pro-
bate court is in doubt as to whether it
is not the result of his drink. The
Utica officers do not take that view
of the cast and think he is an insane
person, with his great strength and
his disordered mind they fear having
him loose again in the community.
In Jail Hoffman divides his time be-
tween singing and writing what he
calls his "drunkards dream" 1t is
ly sensible and correctly written and
spelled account of his clean up of the
ice cream parlor with an adroit pa
rade of his gentility and his desire to
be freed and go home to his family.
He is going to have his "dream"
printed in book form. He sees wealth
and fame ahead of him in literature.
His predominant hallucination is
that he is acquiring property and is
wealthy in real estate. He has taken
great Shine" to E. c. Legge, the
deputy sheriff, and is going to pur-
chase for him the finest property in
Newark that his abundant, if imag-
ined, wealth will buy.
He Is too violent to be taken from
the Jail to the court room, and Judge
Hunter on Thursday afternoon visited
him in the Jail and had the Jail ply
sician, DR.. Anderson, look him over.

THE INSTITUTE
Of The Knox County Teachers
Association

The last session of the institute
was held Friday afternoon. Prof.
Eby's last talk was on Theory VS..
Practice" He said that he thinks the
theory Of the school is good but the
practice is largely wrong. Many
practices that we see in life are the
result OF practices in school. The
right conditions for thinking should
be provided so that pupils may learn
to make decisions for themselves. We
want people who can contribute to
the group in which they live and in
order to give the best service in life
they must be trained for 1t by their
work in school.
What Next?" was the subject OF
DR.. Schmucker's last talk. In this
talk, he referred to the year of work
just about to begin. This was talk
to teachers, inspiring them to their
best efforts for the coming year. In
order to do the best work 1t is neces.
sary to have good physical, mental
and moral health. 1t lies largely In
the hands of each one to attain to
this state of health. He mentioned
the various things necessary to keep
the teacher in the best possible con-
dition for work
A business session was then held
at which the committee on resolutions
gave it's report and officers were
elected for the coming year as fol-
lows:
President-C. NJ. Layton of Center.

bill and condemnation OF the petty ac.
tions of the new political state board.
The Youngstown Telegram, staunch
Republican, says the state is mot
Getting Moneys Worth" and that the
new state board of agriculture has
made a bad start" This is echoed
throughout the state and so serious
is the condition that the coming state

while behind locked doors-"the pub.

to fritter away its time and the peo.
pies money. Gradually 1t is being

istration. When a paper as hide
bound as the Youngstown Telegram
praises the work of President Sandles
and his agriculture commission in
comparison with the shortcomings of
the Willis board 1t is an indication
that the people are getting next to
themselves.
Our good young governor accuses
certain papers of acting on the theory
that "a falsehood adhered to is better
than the truth" Willis ought to
know, for there never was anything
more persistently told and adhered to
than that story about treasury def
cit and the surplus of outside Offices
