court of Knox county has been in

attracted the attention of Clerk of
Courts Guy Taylor to such an extent
that he decided to go over the records
to ascertain just what the increase
has been. For the purpose of COM
parison, he took the first quarter of
each of the last three years. In the
investigation data of civil actions
alone was taken. For the three
months ending March 81, 1914, the
number of suits brought was 3S. For
the same period last year the num-
ber was II, and for like period this
year the total was 96. Compared
with two years ago, the increase has
been almost three-fold.

GOOD ROADS
TOPIC AT MONDAY. LUNCHEON
OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Committee Announced; Robinson and
Riley Speak; Members Display
Vigorous Interest and
Spirit

Definite action in good roads foI
Knox county was promised at the
weekly chamber of commerce lunch
| con Wednesday noon by Chairman w
l.. Robinson of the good roads depart
ment, who announced the following
as members of his committee: f. O
Levering, G. c. Iams, II. c. Devin. s
G. Dowds, II. G. SlingluT, Walter M
Riley and w. s. Anderson. Chairman
Robinson pointed out that each OF
these men was in a peculiar position
to benefit the work.
A letter was read by the chairman
from the state federation, asking tina,
definite committee be appointed
from this city to meet in Columbus
shortly and discuss the Cleveland. Co
lumbus and Cincinnati road. Mr.
Robinson stated that a representative
from the state federation will be ask
ed to attend one of the MONDAY
luncheons of the local chamber and
address the members.
Supplementing the remarks of Mr.
Robinson, Auditor Walter NJ. Riley re-
counted in detail the road improve
ments which have been started or
are under contract in the county. He
spoke particularly of the plan of the
commissioners to build two miles OF
road toward Mt. Vernon from How.
ard, which would leave only a gap of
little over a mile when the present
improvements on the Coshocton road
are completed.
There was an intense enthusiasm
and lively interest displayed on the
part of all present on the good roads
subject and many informal inquiries
were addressed to speakers by those
in attendance.
AS clearinghouse for questions
confronting the chamber of COM
merce, there can be nothing better
than the MONDAY meetings. The in
formality of everything, the snappi-
ness of talks and the chatty CONVEX
sation all tend to strengthen the eff
fectiveness of the organization.
Vice President j. s.. McCrackin pre-
sided at the meeting. Secretary Leo
pold was introduced at the start and
made an enthusiastic speech. w. B.
Wilkinson of Newark, formerly of
here, was guest of honor.

BASKET BALL
LUCRATIVE SPORT AT THE HIGH

Paying off debt of $50 incurred by
the football team of 1915 and pur-
chasing large, black v-neck sweaters
with gold 'V" fastened thereon for
all members of the team, the high
school basketball season just closed
has been extremely successful from
financial standpoint, let alone the
record of II victories and a single de.
feat.
Manager Doherty is busy working
on a report of the season and the
same will be presented not far hence.
In his report, he will show that the
old debt has been paid off, the sweat
ers have been purchased, two trips to
Delaware paid for with a balance
still remaining in the treasury.

Named For Big Democratic
Cuunty Rally, April 22
QUARTERS ARE CROWDED
With sUper-Enthusiastic Democrats
Who View With Delight Gov.
cox's Advent This Month.
Tuesday Nights
Meeting.

The Democratic headquarters in
the Kirk building were crowded
Tuesday night, the largest gathering
yet known at the meetings of the
temporary organization assembling
for the purpose of discussing plans
and making suggestions for the big
Democratic rally on April % when
Ex-Governor James M. Cox will
speak.
1t was reported that the X. of p.
armory had been leased for the day
and that the hall would be placed in
suitable array with decorations of a
characteristic nature.
A band or like musical organization
will be hired to make things lively
on the big day and to meet Governor
Cox at the train on his arrival. An
automobile parade will also be form
ed at that time and his escort to the
armory will be of elaborate proper
tions.
Interest and enthusiasm prevailed
on all sides at Tuesday nights meet
ing and such large assemblage at a
special meeting was regarded as very
much of a criterion of the mammoth
turnout that will greet Governor Cox
on his triumphant return to this city,
vindicated in every particular and the
restored idol of many who temporar-
lily deserted his leadership, blinded by
the malicious falsehoods rampant in
the campaign two years ago.
Disaffection in the Republican
ranks was reported on all sides at
Tuesdays meeting, a number whose
homes are out of the city telling of
the prejudice existing against the
present incumbent Of the guDernator-
ial chair at Columbus. Conquer with
Cox seemed to be the slogan of the
gathering.

with injury, she asks that the defend
ant be enjoined from interfering with

minor children during pendency of
suit, and on final hearing she be de-
creed a divorce with custody of the
