News Received Of Former
Local Mans Demise
ONCE A "BoSTONIAN"
Sang Leading Tenor Role With This
Remarkable Aggregation For
TWO Years; Interesting
Sideliehts On
His Life

Otto and Louis Baker, East Gam
bier street, received word Friday of
the death in Petersburg, Va, Wednes-
day of their uncle, Guy Grafton Bak-
er, who formerly resided here.
The sweet tenor voice of Guy Graf
ton Baker is one of the pleasant recol-
lections of those residents of Mt.
Vernon who constituted the younger
generation" twenty years ago. Bak-
er was always in demand everywhere,
linking his musical ability with an at
tractive personality.
He was the son of the late P. A.
Baker, who opened in this city
drugstore in the room now occupied
by Carl N Lorey. George r. Baker
of this city is an uncle of the deceas-
ed.
In 1898, Guy Baker Joined "The
Bostonians," the foremost light opera
company of the day, and toured the
country in the capacity of leading
tenor soloist. When "The Bostonians"
played Columbus, a number of Mt.
Vernon people heard Baker sing in
the opera, "Serenade." Associated
with him was the famous Eugene
Cowles.
In the summer of 1898, Baker re.
turned to this city and, at Delano's
Point opened what he termed Camp
Lamb" The atmosphere of the
Lambs club of New York City pre-.
vailed there, together with wide
open hospitality which attracted large
numbers of friends to the camp every
night.
Baker was with "The Bostonians"
two seasons and then retired. He
later entered the employ of various
musical concerns, travelling through
the country and selling pianos.
He was united in marriage to Grace
Orr Myers, leading soprano with
Frank Daniels in "The Wizard of the
Nile" and probably the greatest COM
&c opera soloist the country has ever
known. She survives him. Baker
was about 46 years of age. His old
time friends in this city will be dis
tressed to hear of his death.

AGRICULTURAL
Agents In Eighteen Counties
Of The State
PrebIe Most Recent Addition Ia
The Ranks-SaIaries Are Paid
Comparatively

That Knox county should have a.
county agricultural agent, as some OF
the most progressive counties in this
and other states have, is suggested
and the advocates of this forward
movement are enthusiastically advance
ing their arguments based on the
gratifying experiences of those coun-
ties which have secured the services
of county agent.
There are now is counties in this
state which have agricultural agents,
Preble being the most recent. The
other II are Clarke, Clermont, Cuya<
hoga. Franklin, Geauga, Hamilton.
Highland, Mahoning, Marion, Miami.
Montgomery, Portage, Sanduslzy, Sum-
NIT, Stark, Trumbull and Washington.
These agents conduct demonstra-
tions in improved agriculture and are
employed comparatively by a county
farm bureau association, the Ohio
State university and the U. s. DEPART
ment of agriculture.

Lad, Once OF DANVILLE, FINDS
FAMILY AFTER TWENTY YEARS;
WAS SOUGHT THROUGH WEST

ed by the lady whom he addressed
that he was speaking to Miss Mona
Milless. Mona, who is half-sister
of Jacob, was an infant when he was
taken to the orphans home, and
through the dim mist of the ensuing
years, he family recalled the baby's
name.
Confident that he had at last To-
Gated his fathers family, Jacob made
known his identity and was warmly
greeted by the sister whom he had
lately shown to the Milless home on
Main street a few doors from the
American House where he was pre-
sented to the stepmother by the hap
py sister.
The remainder of the day was spent
in gathering together the members Of
the family which had become scat
tered over the central part Of the
state, and the most touching scenes
were enacted as the reunion of the
family became complete. The joy Of
the occasion was mitigated only by
the death of the father, still fresh in
the minds of the entire family, but
which was the unhappy medium
through which the reunion was made
possible.
The family and friends were
pleased to learn that Jacob is mar
ried and is established upon fertile
farm of his own four miles south of
Columbus where he is bringing up his
three children under the tender care
of a devoted father and mother, a
blessing which was denied their
father.
A full brother, Cyril Milless of Orr
vile, and three half-sisters and two
half-brothers,i including Mrs. Eve
Weaver Of Sixth street, Coshocton,
and Alfred Milless of Frazeysburg,
Joined in the happy reunion.
Jacob Miles returned to his home
Wednesday evening only after repeat
ed promises to bring his entire fam
lily to Millersburg for an extended
visit at an early date.

SELLS
Indicted For Non-Support,
Is Arrested
Came Back Here Friday Night And
His Freedom Was Most Short;
Placed In Jail

Acting on a tip received Friday
evening, Sheriff Mossholder, Deputy
Lytle and Juvenile officer Purcell
went to a home on Water street Sat
urday morning and placed under ar
rest Irvine Sells, indicted at the last
April term of the grand jury for
non.support of minor children.
Sells was placed in Jail. He was
sued in the spring Of 1916 for nom
support. The court ordered that he
pay So a week to his wife. He did
this one week and then, it is claimed,
quit. He complained to the officers
arresting him that he could not make
enough to support himself.
He arrived here Friday evening
from Akron where he has been en-
ployed.

Mothercraft Note.

Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value un-
til it has reached years of discretion.
There are so many little helps that can
be offered to make work attractive to
children. For instance, successful
way to teach child to put its soiled
clothes out of sight is to make for its
own use a little laundry bag of some
cheerful color and on it embroider the
word Laundry" Hang it on a peg
low enough for the child to reach and
you will not have to remind the child
more than two or three times Of its
duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room you
should at least let the child share a
bureau or dressing table with some one
so that it can be taught quite young
to put hair ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc.,
in a certain place. Let it understand
that the space reserved is all its very
own.

STRICKEN
With Apoplexy, Switzer I'M
Serious Condition
Venerable Resident OF JelIoway In
Found On Barn Floor In IN
conscious State

Jelloway, Jan. 21-Found in an UNI
conscious state on his barn floor this
morning, William Switzer of this
place was taken to the house where a
physician was called. A stroke oe
aDoplexy was responsible. Switzer is
about IS years of age.
Saturday morning Switzer, who is
an active man for his years, went to.
the barn at the rear of his home to
do several little pieces of work. When
$3.50 o'clock came, some neighbors,
who wanted to see him, went to the.
barn and found him on the floor in a,
state of semi-consciousness.
He was taken Immediately to the.
house and local physician was sum-
moned. A short examination showed
that apoplexy was the cause. The
physician in attendance stated that
the stroke might prove fatal, as It
was very severe and Switzers age
was against him.
Switzer is one of the pioneer farna-.
ers near this place and is well known.

BAD TASTE IN FURNITURE.
A Preaehment About Good Lines and
Hard Woods.

"OOdos
1t must have been William Morris
who discovered the bad state of things,
for he was the most conspicuous men,
ber of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood,
the group of persons who banded
themselves together to see if they
could not better matters. To make
way for better things the bad had to
be done away, and Morris faithfully
crusaded against the anti-macassar, the
whatnot, the floral carpet. the gilded
chair, the old black haircloth and the
hideous fun iture of the time
He fell short of absolute success be-
cause he tried to create a new and bet
ter thing. If he had only turned the
tide backward and resurrected the
beautiful furniture of the eighteenth
century the world would have been
just so much more full of good and
beautiful things. Instead, he made
possible by his movement the simplici-
ty of the newer furniture, which,
If not a thing of beauty in itself, clear
ed the decks for action, so that when
its time was run somebody else would
cast the necessary backward glance.
All this, of course, has taken up I'M
til this twentieth century. The back
ward glance happened some years be-
fore the merchants began to feature
period styles. In between people real
lied that there had never been dis
played such genius as the designing of
furniture in the bygone time. They
took to it as ducks to water. Its
vogue had increased and grown until
the whole modern furniture trade has
bent its back to accomplishing this
business properly.

WILL EXAMINE ALL
PHASES OF LABOR
Secretary Leroy G.. Mayer
Secures This Promise,
At Cleveland Meet

A complete industrial survey of
the city of Mt. Vernon, costing be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, of which ex-
pense the city will not have to bear
one cent, is the promise Secretary
Leroy G. Mayer obtained Thursday
from the industrial department of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad in Cleve-
land at the conclusion of the joint
meeting of commercial secretaries
of the northern part of the state and
representative of that department.
At present, the department is con-
Quoting an industrial survey at Mans
field. This will require several weeks.
Within the next three months, like
survey will be made here at the eX-
perse of the railroad.
1t will probably take three or
four weeks to make this survey of
Mt. Vernon. The purpose of it is to
disclose the advantages and disadvan-
tages of the community for manufac-
turing, wholesale and trading pur-
poses.
The survey will bring out the fol-
lowing: number of laborers, charac-
ter of labor, hour of employment,
wages paid, source and cost of pow
er, source and cost of materials,
freight rates, principal markets, tax
es and insurance, water supply, as
well as statistics on railroad yards,
including facilities for loading and
unloading.
This valuable information, compiled
by experts under the personal super
vision of DR.. W. II. Manss, assistant
vice-president, will be given free to
Mt. Vernon for such use the city may
care to make of it,
One of the objects of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad is to assist the
cities along it's line in securing manu-
featuring plants. This, naturally,
would increase railroad shipping,
hence the proposed cooperation.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
! which Secretary Mayer attended that
Ohio ships raw products. to New
England states where these are man
ufactured and then shipped back and
sold in Ohio. The Baltimore & Ohio
railroad seeks also to develop the
manufacturing of these raw products
within this state.
Present at the meeting were COM
mercial secretaries from Elyria, Lodi,
Mansfield, Akron, Canton and Massil-
lon.
In addition to the formal work of
the meeting, pleasant social time
was enjoyed by the secretaries in
which views and ideas were ex-
changed.
Secretary Mayer states that it was
one of the most interesting meetings
he ever attended any place.

Corsaae Rouquets.

Probably never before have artificial
flowers had such a vogue as at present,
and a small corsage bouquet is one of
the best means of giving color to a
dark street suit.
There are punches of tiny flowers in
brilliant red that are very good There
are bouquets consisting of rosebud, a
few forget-me-nots and sprig or two
of green. There are also nasturtiums,
poppies and many other flowers in
their own natural rich coloring.
The placing Of the flower is rather
important. 1t can be pinned to the
eft shoulder with good effect and looks
wen at the closing of the run or close
collar OF velvet and fur.
