Utica Business Men Attend
Noon Luncheon And Speak
Favoring Project
IMPROVEMENT WOULD
BENEFIT MT. VERNON
Popular Subscription Must Be
Relied On For Portion
OF Expenses

The topic of discussion at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon We'd
nesday was the project of paving five
miles of road between Mt Vernon
and Utica.
Two representatives of the Utica
business men and citizens, A. X. Ais
dorf and +. A. Ottman, were present
and both spoke in regard to the prop
osition. Mr.. Alsdorf said that the
present road was one of the toughest
in the country and he felt that the
generous proposition of d. p. Camp
bell to donate brick should be accept
ed by all means. The right-of-way
has been secured for the entire dis
tance with the exception of that from
three owners OF property who claim
ed damages. He stated that Utica was
willing to do her share in subscribing
to pay these damages. Mr.. Ottman
was of the opinion that from $1,000
to $1,000 could be raised in Utica for
this purpose.
Pres. McCrackin said he thought
the proposed road improvement would
be of inestimable value.
j. w. Rubin of the Chamber of
Commerce trade extension division
thought that there was practically no
limit to distance people could be
drawn to Mt. Vernon, providing they
have good roads on which to travel.
Others who spoke in regard to the
matter were Charles C. Iams and Sec
retary Mayer.
Chairman Robinson, in conclusion,
stated that the B. & o. railroad had
practically subscribed $1,000, the Paw
ing Brick association $500, and the
Mt. Vernon Chamber of Commerce
$500, and said that individual sub
scriptions would be necessary to raise
the remainder.

DEFICIT In TREASURY
OF HOME FOR AGED

The annual Harvest Home" for
the Home for the Aged occurs this
year on Oct. 81. That the Home fills
a demand for the care of old persons
is shown by the fact that since it's in
stitution by the Womans Christian as
sociation, it has always Deen filed to
capacity.
The admission fees of the Home are
placed in an endowment fund from
which the interest only is used This
fund now amounts to $4,000, but the
income derived from this source is
not enough to pay running expenses,
consequently the Home is obliged to
rely upon the generosity of the people
to make up the deficit each year and
donations are solicited for the annual
Harvest Home.
There are no salaries connected
with the Home other than that of the
matron. Physicians kindly donate
their services.

15O HIGH SCHOOL
CD ON
STRIKE TUESDAY
Demand That Expelled Boys
Be Admitted To
Classes

Angered because of the action of
the board of education in expelling
two students, one CT whom is a men,
Der of the high school football team,
for their part in painting party"
which took place at the high school
building about week ago, 150 men,
bers of the high school, mostly boys,
but with about 20 girls included, went
out on a strike at noon Tuesday and
marched to the public square where,
after considerable cheering, they
waited upon different members of the
board of education and present their
grievances.
Forming in orderly ranks, the stu
dents then marched to LOrey's drug
store, where they dispatched a com
mittee to interview Dr.. Lorey, a men,
ber of the board of education.
Dr. Lorey was not in and the strik-
ers then went to F.. W. Stamms place
of business but also failed to see Mr..
Stamm.
The strikers then returned to the
public square and declared that they
would remain out of school indefinite
ly unless their two fellow-students
were permitted to return with them.
Glasses are going on just the
same" said Supt. Iemer Tuesday af-
ternoon, "and those who are absent
are so of their own accord and will
be accounted absent until they re.
turn. The two boys expelled admit
ted their guilt when taken before the
board Monday night and were duly
expelled. For my part, I'm inclined
to stand by the guns.
'The boys went out on strike,
think, due to the influence of one or
two Of the members of the football
team and for no other reason and ii
football is to have effects such as
these | am in favor of abolishing ii
from the schools"

Annillilated

Mrs. John Guthrie of Frederick
town is in receipt of the following in,
teresting letter from Wilber Rock of
l. Battery:
Camp Sheridan, Alabama,
Oct. Z, 1917.
Dear Friend:
have put off writing you letter
and only have written you a card for
the reason that | wanted to look
around and see what the conditions
really were and now | will take the
time to write you few lines and tell
you the true condition the best that
] can.
| am feeling better than / ever did
in my life. The air is very light and
dry. There was a heavy rain the day
before we landed, but since we have
been here there has scarcely been a
cloud in the sky. Just as clear as
crystal and~very warm in daytime
and very near as cold at nights as it
is in Ohio. We have good beds to
sleep in-cots and straw-ticks and
two blankets-anc we use those big
pins to make a sack of the blankets
and we keep very warm. Tents are
like houses. Soldiers are coming in
here by the thousands. | know not
how many soldiers there are here, but
there are some over 10000.
The camp is five miles square.
Three-fourths of it is level and the
rest is swamp and woods, and the lev
ell land is SGndy. 1t is a fine place
for camp. The camp seems like a
big city or a fair. Every regiment has
band and every battalion has a Y
M, c. A. They give us lot of enter
tainments such as picture shows and
vaudeville. The vaudeville is made
up of soldiers who are in camp. Some
sing dance and others tell stories.
We had one man here who was in
the war in Europe. 1t was the awful
est story that ever heard. His name
was Ben Scovel. He was captain OF
a company of soldiers from Canada
and was in Europe when the French
blew up the Hill 10, which sent 1S,00(
Germans to their happy homes. This
man was wounded and got an honor
able discharge.
The boys were talking about get
ting homesick last night. l got my
Testament out and | referred them tC
the notes you put in it and then one
read a chapter in Revelations. They
took turn about till they read very
nearly all of it. There are nine in m.
tent, but most of them have onl.
eight.
viii write moro soon.
Hoping you are all well,
WILBUR ROCK.
