STARK COUNTY TOWNS
OBSERVE LOYALTY DAY

Gladstone citizens turned out en-
masse to attend Loyalty Day celebra-
ton held there last Thursday, the an
niversary of the battle of Lexington.
A splendid program was given, T. D..
Casey of Dickinson being the principal
speaker, a number of Gladstone men
giving short talks. The band dis
pensed martial music and the glee
club sang a number of patriotic songs.
The hall where the exercises were
held was damned to the doors, and
citizens we're in attendance from the
country for miles around. Patriotism
displayed by the Gladstone populace
is especially noteworthy, as people of
German and Hungarian descent great
ly predominant in the population, and
these were foremost in making a
grand success of the celebration.
Taylor held a celebration Thursday
of this week, when Attorney Casey
al again the speaker of the day.
A large crowd was in attendance, a
number of Taylor men gave brief
talks, and a band played patriotic airs.

answers in plain simple language the
natural questions of the active mind
of a young child; questions that are
sometimes somewhat confusing to
answer. The following are a few of
the many questions answered in the
book: How does light get into the
electric light bulb? Why is the sky
blue? Where does the wind begin?
Why does it hurt when I cut my
finger? Why doesn't it hurt when
I cut my hair? How does music get
into the piano? How did writing
first come about? Why are birds
eggs of a different color? How is
glass made? What causes the differ
ent colors in the rainbow? How is an
ocean cable laid? Why does a hen
cackle after laying an egg?

WILL REMOVE SCHOOL
BUILDING TO ANTELOPE

Judge W. c. Crawford this week
handed down decision in the Antelope
school case. Agitation to remove the
school house, 2k miles north of An
telope, to a new site resulted in an
election to ascertain whether a ma
jority of the voters wished the new
site to be in Antelope or III miles
farther north. Balloting was in favor
of removal to Antelope, the voters
writing in the location which they de-
sired. Exact location Of the site was
not printed on the ballots, and suit
was filed to prevent the structure be-
ing moved to Antelope. Judge Craw-
ford decided that will of the majority
Of the voters would rule, and the
school will be relocated in Antelope.

CAPT. WILKES A HERO.
Films of Facts Confirm Fiction Writ
ten Seventy eight Years Ago.

In 1888 Edgar Allen Poe published
his remarkable narrative Of "A Gordon
Pym." 1t was fanciful tale of a vas,
continent in the unknown Antarctic. Il
was a remarkable story told in Poe's
best style. Today that amazing imagin-
alive flight is transformed from fiction
into fact by the films which Lyman H.
Howe will present at the Odeon The
alter Tuesday evening Of Sir Douglas
Mawson's expedition and discovery of
the Antarctic continent. Still another
bit Of history conjured UP by this re-
production is the fact that in the same
year that Poe wrote his fanciful taleo
Capt. Charles Wilkes U. s. N. began
a voyage of exploration to these polar
regions. He returned four years later
in 1S42-with chronicle Of his ex-
petition that was published in nine
teen Volumes, eight of them written
by Wilkes himself. In them he told OF
a vast. mysterious southern continent
surrounded by impenetrable ice bar
riers. He could not estimate it's eX-
tent but declared it to be enormous.
However. for no reason in particular,
the world at large refused to believe
it and it has taken just seventy eight
years to vindicate Captain Wilkes by
the most convincing proof imaginable
the moving pictures just referred to.
They show conciusively that Sir Doug
las Mawson can justly be classed as
one Of the greatest heroes Of, our age.

Craze D;ggers' Job
Made ri f;c,llt BY
Much Cold Weather

dig my grave both wide and deep"
runs the old song but this admonition
Is one Of the hardest things to obey
and is becoming more difficult daily
with the continued cold weather, ac-
cording to s. w. Rubee. superintendent.
OF Riverside cemetery, who declares
the cold has brought about one OF the
most extraordinary conditions in
twenty years.
Continued cold weather early in the
winter without much snow. made the
ground unusually hard, the frost in
some cases going down as deep as
four and four and one half feet. at
least a foot deeper than during the
average winter. This, coupled with
the unusual number Of deaths during
the past few weeks has made the
work at Riverside more difficult than
for many years. superintendent Rubee
has q force Of six men at work most OF
the time at Riverside digging graves.
and declared that they were hardly
able to handle the job. The average
grave Is never less than five and one
half feet deep. and when four and
oneshaf feet of frost have to be dug
thru theCtask is no light one. Last
week the men We're forced to work
from early morning until late in the
evening to keep up with their orders.
Picks, sledges. wedges. and a special
blower device for heating the ground
are used in digging graves, but even
with these implements the solid earth
yields only after strenuous efforts.
The recent falls of snow will prevent
the frost from getting any deeper in
the ground and the work will not be
so difficult from now on, thinks Super
intendent Rubee.
