Leaving his fathers team for sever.

of Gus Yauger OF the old Delaware

and that it had left no traces from
which could be determined its where

Young Yauger had stopped in a lc

team, becoming impatient, wended its
way home with no driver Some
time afterwards, Mr.. Yauger. senior,
saw his team entering the barnyard
with no driver Nothing being gone
and everything in good shape on the
sled, Mr. Yauger was not alarmed.
William Spearman, who was com

So Decide Officers Of Law
After Investigation At
Berry Home
NOISES MOST QUEER
Complete Search OF House Instituted
And "Maiefactors" Are Not To-
Gated Until The Attic Is
Reached-An Exciting
Evening

All was excitement about 1880
o'clock Thursday evening at the home
Of Patrick A. Berry, East Vine street,
when a peculiar noise was heard in
the house which was thought to he
burglars out on marauding eXpe-
dition whose intent it was to have the
necessary amount OF booty or take
tie lives of those who refused to give
up their most valued possessions.
no search was made by Mr.. Berry,
but the police department was noti-
fed of the suspected operation and
Officers McElroy and Alsdorf soon
arrived on the scene.
That their prey might not escape
their clutches, the officers left the
patrol wagon about one block from
their destination and stealthily crept
10 the back door of the residence
t'pcn entering, they found both mem
bers of the family badly frightened
and shaken from the events of the
evening.
A search was instituted for the sup
posed burglars. With guns in hand
ard their clubs ready to strike blow
that would vanquish the outlaws, the
officers OF the law silently explored
the cellar of the home with CLOWNS
flashlights. No, the cellar gave "
nothing to the inQuisitive gazes of The
small, but valiant, party.
Next came the first floor. The same
stealth and carefulness was in orde,
in this search, but nothing was re
| vealed.
The upstairs revealed nothing
| Where else could they look? All, the
attic. The burglars would be there
surely!
The stairs to the attic were ascend
ed with care The door was ilunt
open and the electric light was snap
ped on.
There before them, with his wing
Tapping frantically against the wal
in an effort to gain freedom, was
bat which had got into the house il
some manner and had caused all tn
worry and trouble.
The officers of the law silently de
parted.

Enormous Inroads On Wares
Reflect General
Prosperity
EARLY SHOPPING BIG
Many People Purchased Presents In
Morning, Tightening Work OF
Extra Force of Clerks-SaV-
ings Clubs Played
Their Parts

Christmas shopping is entering up
on it's final lap and merchants of the
city are more than satisfied with the
way their offerings have been pur
chased by eager buyers during the
season Of 1916.
The trade this year has been enor-
nous. Business men state that it has
exceeded any of previous years and
attribute it to the generally prosper
Gus condition which obtains in Mt.
Vernon, as we'll as throughout the
county.
'The ceaseless drone of do your
shopping early" has had it's effect,
merchants state, as Christmas trade
started to be quite brisk week ago.
Since Monday, extra clerks have
been put on at practically all of the
stores, and even with these reinforce
ments, the trade could scarcely be
handled, so enormous has it been.
Merchants also are pleased over
the habit of shopping in the morning
which has been instilled into many
people. This makes a distribution o.,
trade throughout the day which has
not demanded any great over-eXertion
on the part of sales forces.
The Christmas Savings clubs, both
of which are reopening for the en-
suing year at the Knox County Saw
ings bank and the Knox Savings and
Loan association, have played their
part in swelling the amount of holi-
! day purchases this year, providing,
as they did, over $4,000 in gift mon
ey.
Weather conditions have been near
| ly ideal for Christmas trade. The
change in the weather from a compar-
atiye warmth to a winter frigidity
stimulated people to prepare for the
rigors of the winter season-a some
thing which many will not do until
absolutely necessary.
There has been a real "Christmasy'
atmosphere throughout the city on ac'
count of the typical Yuletide wealth
er and its-result has been reflected in
the inroadsN made upon the wares OF
| Mt Vernon merchants.

VIOLATIONS
NUMBER MANY
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRlcUL-
TURE RECOMMENDS PROSE
cUTIoNs WITH EXCELLENT
RESULTS.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 22-In the
enforcement of the food and drug
act during the last year, o. s. depart
ment of agriculture officials analyZed
29,S33 samples of foods and drugs Of
fered for interstate shipment and for
import A physical examination was
made of samples from 76,46S ship
ments offered for import. OF these
foreign shipments, 6,353 were found
to violate the law in some respects
and were either excluded from the
country or admitted only after the
importers had relabeled them to
comply with the law
OF the samples of domestic prod
ucts analysed, 3,535, either because of
the nature OF the product or because
the label on it did not tell the truth,
were found to be in violation OF the
federal law. In 1,S64 cases the de
partment recommended to the depart
ment of justice that criminal prose
cution be instituted against the manu-
facturers or that the goods be seized
In many cases where there was no
evidence of intention to defraud. and
where there was merely some easily
remedied flaw in the wording of a
label, the shippers. after being warn
ed in hearings, voluntarily took steps
which made their products fully COM
| ply with the requirements. IL all,
there were held Sis such hearings,
many OF which resulted in the prose
| cutions indicated and the gathering
Of evidence for large number OF ad-
ditional cases which will be forwarded
| TO the department of justice.
The bureau of chemistry, in its an.
nual report, also calls attention TO the
! fact that through the system of SER
vice and regulatory announcement
now in use, manufacturers are given
due notice of the requirements and
thus are enabled voluntarily TO make
their products conform to the law.
in this way, the government achieves
it's purpose, frequently without enter
ing into needless and very expensive
litigation.
In the regulatory work, special EN-
phasis has been given to the control
of drug products and foods liable to
spoilage and pollution. These fire.
ouantlv constitute a serious menace
to health. The food inspectors have
been instructed to be particularly
4 watchful for interstate shipments OF
bad eggs, milk, oysters, and spoiled
canned goods, and false and fraudu-
Ienty labeled medicines and spuri-
Gus. synthetic drugs.

Depth Of White Flakes
Runs AS High AS
Two Feet
INCOMING TRAINS
MANY HOURS LATE
Traffic Temporarily Paral-
yzed-Biggest Snow
In Years

The biggest single fall of snow
within the recollection of many of
the older residents of the city oc-
Cured Thursday night and Friday
morning between the hours of IL 7.
m. and 3 a. m, and Mt. Vernon awol;e
to find itself almost snow-bound.
On the level, the depth of the snow
measured from IL to IA inches. All
residents of the city virtually had to
shovel their way out of the white
flakes.
The city snow-plow found speedy
cleaning Of the sidewalks most diff
cult so that business and shop men
were forced to trudge slowly through
snow almost up to their knees in or
der to reach their work.
Taxicabs were at premium, all
companies doing a land-office bust
ness early in the morning. Traffic was
temporarily paralyzed.
Eight years ago, the city had a
snowfall, or rather a series of falls,
which brought the depth to the high
water mark of IS inches on the Level,
Thursday nights fall, however, came
in the short space of four hours. The
flakes were large and binding. Auto
mobile drivers could scarcely see OF
account OF the steady pouring of the
xuiY, dSbiaI1c
Rubber boots, arctics and other like
enoasements for the feet and legs
could be seen everywhere Friday
morning. One man, not possessed o!
any of the above articles, pulled on
a pair OF his wifes stockings, slipped
on overshoes and made his way down
street with ease and without getting
his feet wet.
Reports OF the depth of the snow
varied a great deal when they were
received Friday morning from differ
ent parts Of the county. The mini.
mum depth was six inches in Center
burg, while the maximum was two
feet in Drinkhaven and Bangs. The
reports run as follows:
Brinkhaven-24 inches.
Bangs-24 inches,
Danville-21 inches.
Gambier--18 inches.
Bladensburg-14 inches.
North Liberty-10 inches.
Freder cktown-9 inches.
Jelloway--S inches.
Centerburg-6 inches.
Contrary to expectations, no tele
phone trouble was reported. Neither
of the local companies had single
connection off Friday morning, al
though both expected to put manl
trouble men" into the field.
Rural carriers attempted to mal;'
their customary deliveries, but wer'
forced to turn back. The task con
fronting them was big, as the snow
had drifted in many places, maxim
detours necessary and involving ;
certain amount of danger.
Not only has the traffic of Mt Ver
non been held up by the heavy snow
but the trains on both the b. & O
and Pennsylvania lines have ais
been held up to certain degree,
The Pennsylvania schedule ha
been as follows:
8:45 out of Columbus to Clevelan
IS hours, 20 minutes late.
$40 out Of Cleveland to Columbu
q hours, 80 minutes late.
1905 out of Cleveland to Columbu
Il hour, 20 minutes late.
The B. & o. schedule as follows:
11:2S south from Chicago houl
- minutes late.
11:52 north to Chicago hour, 3
minutes late.
