PRES. PIERCE
Addresses Daughters Of American
Revolution at Their Annual
Picnic in Gambler Wed
nesday-other Good
Talks

The all-day picnic which the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution held
Wednesday at Harcourt Place in
Gambler was one of the most success
full of these pleasant annual events.
The small silk flags which were given
to each member and their guests en-
phasized the fact that the picnic was
very appropriately held on Flag day.
Mrs. Streibert, the presiding regent,
acted as hostess to the fifty members
and guests. After the bountiful lunch
con had been served, President Peirce
of Kenyon college gave very witty
and informal talk. He closed by max
ing a strong appeal to the gentlemen
present to interest themselves in pa
triotic efforts, the very uncertainty
of the national situation demanding
it. He is an active member of the AL
exander Hamilton chapter of Sons of
the American Revolution, whose
members are from Knox, Holmes and
Coshocton counties, and he urged
each gentleman to become a member
of the association if he were eligible.
Mrs. Protzman of Canton told of
the work of the D. A. R. chapter in
that place. One of the interesting
things they had done was the mark
ing of the old Macarthur trail which
runs through Hardin county. They
used as markers the old pillars from
the court house, the farmers Of the
county lending their assistance in the
work of putting these markers in
place.
Miss Bolton, member of the local
chapter, has been in Canton the last
year, and she spoke of the relic room

James HOSS Wants Partition
Madel Property
In Clay TOWnShip.--PrObatG
And Deed Records

The tragic death Of Charles e.
Smith on April 27, 1916, is the basis
of a damage suit filed in Licking
common pleas court.
It is styled Daisy e. Smith VS.. Mar
ion NJ. Fay and Converse Palmer and
the petition was filed by foreign
attorney. 1t will be remembered that
Smith, the deceased, was attempting
to start an oil-burning engine, used in
baling hay, and was caught in the
fly wheel and so badly injured that he
died.
The allegation is made that there
were some projecting hooks, springs
and clutches which were not properly
covered and protected. That they
were negligent in not having them
protected. That his clothing was
caught in them and he was caught
and battered to death by the running
machinery. 1t is also complained that
the engine could only be started by
the engineer, or person running it,
placing his foot in the balance wheel.
Damages are asked in the sum of
$4,000. The dead man left family
of children and had been employed in
the running of an engine.

THE GREATEST BLOOD PURIFIER DISCOVERED
Thousands bears testimony remedy that has stood the of
 half century-S. s. S.

Possibly there is no remedy ever compounded by the hand of man that has been able to show such a clean record for the wonderful effect it has had in remedying the ills of men and women. The library of the Swift Spe- cific Company in Atlanta is veritable treasure chest of testimonials, setting forth in distinct and indisputable lan- guage how s. s. s. has banished the horrible suffering of Rheumatism. There are thousands and thousands of letters from grateful fathers who have at last the knowledge that the heredi- tary taint that was discovered in their blood will not have to be handed down to their children. Here are wonderful records to tell where the horrible suf- fering of Catarrh has gone forever, where skin diseases that have disfig- ured the face and features have left them as clean and wholesome as ma ture intended them to be. Cases of EcZeme, or Salt Rheum, Tetters, Rash ease after case of so-called skin dis. eases who have been brought to bay by the marvellous tonic effects of s. s

banish it. The chief thing for the sufferer from blood diseases, and Rheumatism is one of the worst of them, is to realize that they cannot be cured by rubbing, by touches of hot water, salves, lotions or any outward or external treatment These remedies that soothe often do no more than aggrevate the trouble in the long run Believe that even pimples are the dan ger signal of bad blood and treat the blood and not the pimple and the re- lief is sure.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Fairly large export sales and positive assertions that President Wilson would commu- nicate to congress a disapproval of any embargo on foodstuffs were re- sponsible in the main, for an uplift in the value of wheat today.

In provisions the out come ranged from 71a decline to a rise of 12 points,
 Though large estimates of recent export business in wheat later were reduced, the contrast with yesterdays gloomy outlook elated bull trading.
 Notwithstanding much forced sell ing early and heavy profit taking by more fortunate holders later, the mar ket had a general upward slant the greater part of the session.

There was snap back in Range and East Butte and both these stocks should quickly rebound to re- cent high levels.

DID NOT KNOW AMBASSADOR.

New York, Aug. 22-Despite the fact that it has been generally known for the past six weeks that William Graves Sharp, American Ambassador to France, was coming here for a va cation and, incidentally, for confer ences with the state department. no one was on hand to welcome him when he arrived with Miss Margaret Sharp his daughter. on the French liner Lafayette yesterday. The i.nmigra- ton and customs inspectors failed to recognize the diplomat who was sent to the prescribed section with his bag gage. although the personal effects of representative of the government are immune from examination at every port here and abroad.
 The ambassador said that he had moi yet received instructions regarding 9 conference which, it is generally m. derstood, will be held in Washington with him, Secretary Lansing, and Walter Hines Page, American am- bassador to the Court of St. James MT.
