2-STORY FALL;
HIP FRACTURED
Little Carolyn Denney Has
Startling Escape
PUSHED SCREEN OUT
Child, Playing Upstairs, Mounts Box
To Sill--Horrifled Mother Reach
es Daughter Speedily
Broken Bone Only In
jury Sustained

Falling a distance OF two full
stories, little Carolyn, the sixteen
months-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Louis e. Denney OF the Columbus
road, had a remarkable escape from
death at her home Tuesday after
noon at 5 o'clock, the sum extent of
her injuries being a fracture of her
left thight.
The little girl was playing upstairs
at the time, having been left with
her toys by her mother, who was
busily engaged in the kitchen. The
supposition is that the child procured
a box and, mounting upon it, attained
the height of the window.
At any rate, Mrs. Denney was sud
denly interrupted in her work by a
crashing sound and, gazing out, saw
a screen fall to the ground and, i'm
mediately afterwards, her little
daughter.
She ran out of the Kitchen and
picked the girl up. The child scream
ed and was plainly severely hurt, but
fortunately for the peace of the mind
of the mother, did not become uncon-
scious, thus indicating that her head
was not injured.
A physician was summoned and a
thorough examination made. This
disclosed practically no bruises at all
but the little girls left thigh was
found fractured. This was reduced
Little Carolyn was very restless
and nervous Wednesday morning, but
her condition was regarded as good
by the physician, it only being a
question of time until she recovers
completely.
To fall from the window, it was
necessary for the girl to mount tc
the sill which she did by a box
Once there, her baby weight served
to dislodge the screen and she fel
forwards. The spot where the chill,
alighted was covered with grass. Il
is this, coupled with the fortunate
manner in which the child fell, that
probably saved her from fatal injur
les.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES

Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth In

The Democratic platform of 1912
made this promise to the farmers Of
America:
"Of equal importance with the ques-
ton of currency reform Is the question
Of rural credits or agricultural finance
Therefore we recommend that an iii
vestigation of agricultural credit socie-
ties In foreign countries be made. so
that 1t may be ascertained whether q
system Of rural credits may be devised
suitable to conditions In the United
States, and we also favor legislation
permitting national banks to loan a
reasonable proportion Of their funds
on real estate security.
"We recognize the value of vocation
al education and urge federal appro-
priations for such training and exten-
sion teaching in agriculture in coop
GRAFTON with the several states"
These pledges. with many other serv-
ices to the farmer. have been com.
pletely fulfilled in the legislation of
the present administration The record
of Democratic Performance Is offered

record of broken promises TO the farm

Condition Of Fredericktown
Man Still Regarded
Serious
WANTS BACK AT WORK
Recalls Nothing OF Automobile Acct.
dent In Which He Figured
More Details OF smash.Up
Which Happened Near
Mt. Gilead

Insisting during rare intervals of
consciousness that he wants to get
up and work, Oren Buckmaster of
Fredericktown, partner of +. j. Har-
ris of this city, still lies in an ex.
tremely critical condition in Mt. Gil
cad as the result of an automobile ac-
cident in which he figured recently.
Word came to this city Wednesday
morning that Mr.. Buckmaster was
slightly improved, but that he still
fails to gain his senses for any
length of time. He has absolutely no
recollection of the accident in which
he figured and has but one desire
to return to work
Concerning the accident, the Mt
Gilead Register has the following tc
say:
Mr.. Buckmaster was returning from
Mt Vernon and was accompanied by
his little son, Paul, and brother-in-
law, Frank Dalrymple, of Frederick
town. The auto driven by Mr. Buck
master was Ford on which was d.
racing body. This at first gave rise
to the story that the two machines
were racing, but this, it seems, was
not the case as all parties connected
with the affair state. In fact, the
Ford was the regular type of car, ex-
cept for the body on it. No change
whatever had been made in the
speed ratio. The only change made
had been to lift one style body OFF
| and put on another for the purpose
of making a display at the fair, as
Mr.. Harris of Mt. Vernon stated.
The car following the Ford and
driven by Horace Vail, son of ]. d.
Vail, had been noticed coming some
| distance in the rear and, although
Mr.. Buckmaster was running, as Mr.
Dalrymple states, about 20 or %
miles an hour, the lights on the car
in the rear indicated that it was ap
preaching at high speed. In fact
only few seconds before it attempt
ed to pass, Mr. Buckmaster remarked
to Mr.. Dalrymple, That car must be
coming some" At the same time
the Ford was driven to the right as
far as possible to give plenty OF
room to pass, states Mr.. Dalrymple
but it seems that the, passing cal
swung back into the road too soon
struck the Ford in such q way as Il
send it off the road. The Ford die
| not overturn, but the three occu
pants were thrown out with grea
force. Mr.. Buckmaster fell on hi!
face and sCruck with such force tina
he was rendered unconscious ant
had to be removed to his home ii
Phillips ambulance. Mr.. Dalrymple'
right arm was broken. Paul, Mr.
Buckmaster's little son, who wa
seated on Mr.. Dalrymple's lap, es
capped without injury.

Can't Fool Workers, How

KNOW cox rs THE
FRIEND OF LABOR
Hence, Petitions Seeking In

With petitions, sent out by the
Federation of Labor of Ohio and
placed in the hands of laboring men
of the city of Mt Vernon asking that
the workmen's compensation law be
restored to what it was under Cox,
being eagerly signed in the city of
Mt. Vernon by the workmen of Mt
Vernon in scores, the Republican has
the sheer, unadulterated nerve to
tell these selfsame laboring men Of
Mt Vernon that they don't know
what they're doing!
With a Mt. Vernon Republican
one who remarked while Gov. Willis
spoke at the county fair that "he'd
knock the whole blamed workmen's
compensation law out If he had 6
chance" referring to the Good Young

leaders in seeing that the petitions
are signed in this city and an honest
administration of the workmen's
compensation law--which has NOT
