FEMINISM AT
COUNTY FAIR
Men Must Retire For Lady
Driver And Female Band
Mayor Mitchell Will Not Require
Drivers Licenses OF Those Who
Wish To Operate Buses
During The Week

Vesta Sitbbs of Lebanon takes of
her hat to no man when 1t comes to
sending trotter around race track
and her appearance here on Friday OF
the county fair in the 1922 trot has
already aroused much interest among
devotees of the turf who regard her
coming as the novel event OF this
years racing card.
Miss Stibbs is bona-fide entry
as a racer she is not a freak attrac
ton. Secretary Howard c. Gates OF
the Knox County Agricultural society
was informed by a Tiffin man who
had seen the woman horseman in
competition with men that Miss Stibbs
will make anybody go to nose her
trotter out.
For both Thursday and Friday, the
agricultural society has engaged the
20-piece ladies' band of Akron. There
are only two men in the organization
the first cornet player and the
manipulation of the base drum.
Mayor Mitchell has authorized Sec
retary Gates to state that no special
license fees will be demanded of auto
mobile owners who care to hire out
their machines during fair week.

there and participate in the good
time.
Unsuspectingly, Rev. adm Mrs. Dye
proceeded 10 the church and, on en-.
tering, we're surprised TO hear the
spirited tones OF wedding marc.
pealing forth from the organ. They
observed the congregation occupyins
seats as usual and, suddenly realizlng
that the march was being played IN
their honor, they rose to the situa
tion and marched down the aisle, arm
in arm.
Congratulations followed in abun-
dance, all members Of the congrega-
tion crowding about the surprised
couple to wish them many happy re-
turns Of the anniversary. Then fol-
lowed a program which was presided
over by Deacon Herbert w. Smith
This consisted Of speeches, a solo,
two quartet numbers and recita-
tion by Miss Pauline Smith, THAT
Old Sweetheart of Mine"
Suddenly there appeared on the
scene several members Of the congre-
cation bearing large table over
which was thrown a cloth, evidently
for the purpose Of concealing some
thing. This table was carried down
, the aisle and deposited in front Of
Rev. and Mrs. Dye who we're felicitat-
ed by Deacon Smith and then pre-
sented with that which reposed on
the table-the beautiful set OF silver
ware. Rev. Dye. visibly affected, ac-
cepted the gift on behalf OF his wife
and himself.
Refreshments we're served and the
balance OF the evening was given over
to a good social time.

BEARD
MAY BLAME FLIES FOR HIS
BROKEN LEG

Flies annoyed horse so badly Fri
day afternoon that it ran away on
the old Gambler road, just east of the
Center Run bridge, and threw the
three occupants of the wagon into the
ditch.
Arthur Smith, who lives on the
Gambler road, was driving in to town
with his grandson, Arthur Beard of
Columbus. A little girl was in the
wagon with them. The horse sudden
ly became unmanageable and dashed
across the road into deep ditch,
where the wagon was upset.
Mr.. Smith and the little girl were
thrown clear of the wreckage and,
save a few bruises, were not injured.
Young Beard, however, was caught
underneath the wagon and his left
leg was broken just below the knee.
