Quarantined.

In one of the little mountain towns
Of the south Chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes especially did not under
stand what II was all about.
Across the front of the little hotel of
the village was flung banner bearing
the one word "Chautauqua."
UP to this hotel one day drove an old
negro In one horse wagon containing
a few vegetables. which he hoped to
sell to the proprietor, as he had done
on former occasions. But when he
saw the banner with its ominous word
he was seized with fright and would
not go into the building or even get
out OF his wagon. When the proprietor
appeared the old fellow inquired nerv-
ously, What disease Is you all quar-
antined for, boss "-Youth's Compan-
ion.

There is what's wrong with the good
roads program of Ohio"
Il. II. Deffenbaugh, who recently re.
tired as state fire marshal, has won
an enviable record and one that re
fleets credit not only on himself but
on the administration under which he
worked and was selected. The state
examiner who checked his office at re-
tirement said "By his untiring ener-
gy and business methods he has rails.
ed it (the Office of state fire marshal)
to so high a degree of efficiency that
other states are now copying his sys.
tematic methods of conducting the
business of the Office. 1t is to be re-
gretted that men who serve the pub
lie so ably and disinterestedly can
not be retained in Office indefinitely. ."
This is on par with the high
praise paid to w. F. Mason, the for
mer state oil inspector, not only for
the clerical conduct of his office but
as well for the economy aud efficiency
Of the conduct thereof. The same
was true of the office of state printer,
filled by Frank Harper, and in practi-
cally all of the others with but few
exceptions of minor Importance. The
people of the state are beginning to
realize that the preceding state ad-
ministration selected men for office
who were qualified to fill the places
to which they were named. This fact
las been amply shown also in the dis.
tinct promotions which have come to
many of the Cox appointees who re.
tired from office.
The new attorney for the new state
fire marshal was admitted to practice
law in the June, 1915, class. He had
been lawyer just six weeks when
appointed and never had a case or
retaining fee. But his father was an
original Willis man.

All of the charter amendments sub
mitted at the special election on Tues
day were defeated. There were 284
votes cast. The first amendment lost
by 80 to 191, and the vote on each of
the amendments was about the same.
The fact that all of the amend
ments were defeated by about the
same vote shows that they were not
given sufficient publicity and that the
voters did not understand them. There
was only one amendment which was
even debatable. and this was adopted
after full discussion /. by the charter
commission.
Practically all of the amendments
simply cured little defects in the
charter. Other amendments were more
important. The present charter pro-
vides that sewers must be paid for
when built. All of the sewers have
been built on the deferred payment
plan, and the amendment provided
this. ..: =
The defeat of such amendments as
this will halt proposed city improve

daughter, Mrs. Sieber, of Hancock,
Monday afternoon. They were &C

daughter who brought the visitors to
Morris in their handsome automobile.
Mr.. Solhaug is distant relative of

merchants of Minneapolis where he
established a store on Twentieth
avenue before that prominent business
street was thought of as an important
street. Although he is not personally
active in it's affairs Mr.. Solhaug still
owns the store.
Stephen Deutsch says he was mar
ried twenty -one years ago next Mon
day and on the same date did a little
business with H. B. Lund, the jeweler,
when he bought family clock. This
week he brought the clock back for
repairs after continuous service and
on the wedding anniversary next Mon.
day will again set 1t in motion. Dur
ing the twenty one years the clock has
harped on it's single theme it has
marked off the seconds accurately and
only once or twice did Mr.. Deutsch
find it necessary to quicken its falter-
ing pace with shower of kerosene.
Time and changing temperatures have
greatly changed the appearance of the
clock and its dial has grown a
beautiful butter.color. The hands
were held in, place with a toothpick
and indentions in the dial in the vicin-
lty of the key holes showed where
Mr.. Deutsch had made his mistakes in
attempts to wind the clock in the
