looked forward to the ride with zest.
They started south on the Newark
road and had not reached the end Of
the street car tracks when the smash.
up occurred.
The driver Of the car was decidedly
wobbly and lost control of the ma.
chine, swerying II from side to side
Of the road and finally swinging
against the car tracks with such
force that one of his companions was
tossed out of the machine a distance
of about fifteen feet.
The accident had SOLDERING effect
and 1t was party of three badly
frightened boys which returned back
to Mt. Vernon to restore the car to
its place in the garage.
When George Israel, owner of the
machine, went to get it Sunday morn
ing, he found the car in rather a bad
shape. The spokes Of two of the
wheels were shattered, while two of
the aXles were broken. The rear
wheels were very much askew and
made zig-zag tracks.
The owner of the garage protested
utter ignorance of the condition of
the machine, stating that it had not
been out of the garage to his know
ledge.
Israel was unsatisfied with the idea
of having the repair bill shouldered
on him, SO he started a quiet little in
vestigation in the various garages of
the city on his own account, and grad
ually pieced together the story of the
accident, together with the names of
the participants.

The lad admitted that he was un-

theft by taking a key from another
car, entering the garage in which the
Israel machine was quartered, noise

LOCAL and GENERAL news

Trustees of Liberty township, Fair
field county, are enjoying the most
pleasant surprise of their official ca
reers, and at the same time are super
intending the improvement of poor
piece of road, the material for which
will not cost the people of the town
ship one cent.
r. f. Wolfe of Columbus, proprietor
of Columbus newspapers and manu-
facturer, owns a summer residence on
Journal Island at Buckeye Lake, and
goes back and forth between Colum-
bus and the lake by automobile, al
most daily, using the Refugee road
leading into Millersport. About half
mile of this road, between Millers-
port and the BaltimoreKirkersville
pike, was in bad condition, and the
trustees of Liberty township were
preparing to improve it.
Mr.. Wolfe wrote to the trustees of
fering to relieve the township of a
greater part of the expense by person
ally paying for the crushed stone used
in making the improvement, and the
offer was gratefully accepted. The
donor explained in his letter that he
was a taxpayer in Fairfield county by
reason of his holdings at Buckeye
Lake, but in such small amount he
felt he was indebted to the good peo'
pie who build and maintain it's roads.
Hence the offer.

Speed must be exercised in this
city if it is desired to organize vol

same officially attached to the state
troops.
In conversation Monday with Ad-
jutant General Hough of Columbus,
Secretary Leopold of the chamber Of
commerce which, in conjunction with
julius w. Headington, has taken up
the proposition of organizing a volun-
teer company here, was informed by
Hough that while he could not offic-
tally sanction such a movement, at
the same time he could impersonally
advise that local people "get busy"
Headington wrote Monday to Col.
Harry d. Knox of Marietta, who is or
ganizing the Third Ohio Brigade
ment, outlining the local situation.
He received a telegram Tuesday from
Col. Knox as follows: 'Many appli-
cations. First companies to send list
will be accepted. Get busy"
The new regiment, which Col. Knox
is organizing, will not be offered to
Gov. Willis until twelve companies of
men each have been organized. Six
teen cities of the state have already
offered companies to Knox.
1t is planned to have big patriot
ic rally in this city before the week is
over to stir up enthusiasm over the
organization of some sort of COM
pany here. 1t is pointed out that
Knox is the only county in the state
which has not some military organi-
sation. The matter will be discussed
at the MONDAY luncheon of the cham
ber of commerce Wednesday and it is
expected that some activity will re
suit.

ceived a warrant for $3.50, which
she had presented for collection
so she could buy pair of shoes
that were badly needed, but
there was no money to pay the
warrant This was too bad, and
especially in view Of the fact that
she had to go ten miles from the
center of the county to attend
court and pay her own expenses.
There are numerous other like
instances. and we are paying five
times the average cost of con
ducting the business of the coun-

a condition confronting us, it is
