The play entitled '"The Old Oaken
Bucket and put on by the manage
ment of the Social Center club, was
a great success. 1t was attended by
a large and very attentive audience.
The play itself was very entertaining
and was very we'll rendered. each of
the actors doing their part in real
true life style, and the specialties be-
tween acts were very good, especially
the two songs: Don't Bite the Hand
That's Feeding YOu," and " The Star
Spangled Banner being very appropri-
ate in view of the strained relations
now existing between our country and
some foreign powers. We should new
er fail to show our loyalty and rever-
ence for the old flag at every oppor-
tunity, also it teaches the children the
respect they should have for their flag,
one Of the vital things that has been
sorely neglected for a great many
years, but the old patriotic spirit is
being resurrected lately from one end
of the United States to the other The
proceeds were $685. which will be
used for few much needed articles
for which to carry on the community
work

the last few days, making it very bad
for some Of the school children who

the river full to the brim, and the
huge ice cakes floating one after an
other in a long continuous string for
hours.

"Shoo!n
And in front of him, retiring back,
ward, Ida thought she saw q phantom
woman's form. But 1t must have been
delusiOn, because it was only by
straining her eyes that she could dis
Germ anything at all; and now and
again the figure seemed to vanish into
the air
The man was Clouts. AS he passed
her, Ida called to him. Clouts jumped
He looked at her with a comical ex,
preston of fear on his face.
"Clouts! Where Is Donald? Can
you get me out of here? Take me to
him at once!"
ClOuts looked terrified.
Certainly, marm," he said. "But
that isn't nobody. There's all sorts of
shapes and things here, but it isn't q
real person, marin. I'm telling you
this so you'll understand, marm."
He fastened past her, and, far ahead
Of him, Ida discerned the shadowy
shape of the queen.
"Clouts! Help mel You aren't go
ing to leave .me?" cried Ida pitifully.
She heard ClOuts muttertng tones
come back to her, and he was lost IT.
the hydrogen haze. She was aStound-
ed at his abandonment. Hadn't he IN
derstood?
To do the sailor justice, Clouts had
one of those minds which are open to
only a single impression at time.
Just then his mind was open to the
necessity of keeping Donald's elusive
sweetheart from Ida's knowledge.
He could see only the faintest lumi
Mostly now, and he stood with his arms
stretched out to prevent her slipping
past him. Suddenly he heard singu-
larly melodious sound proceeding from
her throat.
1t was a note unknown even to Mac
Beard. 1t was, in fact, the demi-semi-
tone between G sharp and A, which is
unknown to the Bach scale, though the
bagpipes and Oriental music in general
are acquainted with these subdivisions.
1t was the swarming note. The queen
was ready to lead the brood forth upon
its adventures The spirit, emanatfnf
from her, made itself felt simultane
ously throughout the herd.
Instantly, from all quarters of the
crater, the monsters rushed together
The hydrogen haze rolled far away
The ocean opened to it's summit. Ida
could see the sky above her, and the
daylight. The air became surcharged
with oxygen.
MacBeard amazed by this develop
ment, rushed in. He sounded the dis
persal. But the swarming note took
precedence of the dispersal, and the
monsters, gathering into a gigantic cir
Gle, ignoring the professors call, began
to scurry wildly about the crater, seek
ing their leader.
MacBeard saw that the creatures
were beyond his control. For the first
time his tuning forks had failed him
He was afraid of being torn In pieces.
And up il the cave Sam Clouts
found himself engaged in the most fu-
rious tussle that he had ever known.
For, like fury, the queen rushed
at him, and ClOutS, at first solicitOus
about striking a woman, sOOn found
himself hard put to it to maintain the
upper hand with all his strength and
with the use of all the wrestling tricks
he knew. He painted as he grappled
with her.

Of Rome, Adams county, on what is
known as the Red Circle Route, COM

line around the Horseshoe Bend to the
Chester school house, a distance of a.

Up and needs the use of the drag.
Those who travelled it the past week
state that it is in very bad condition
and the officers of that town should
get busy and look after it.

To The Voters Of Morgan County
and to the World at Large.

One of my opponents in the
race for the nomination for Jailer,
Mr.. George W. Stacy, has made
the statement to as good people
as there are in Morgan county
people whose word will not be
doubted for an instant-that |
have been ordering whiskey for
use in my campaign, and that |
have ordered it in such quantities
that | could not get it all out of
the express Office at one time and
had to make separate trips for it.
This statement is as false as the
lie that killed Ananias and Sap
phira, and its author knew that
it was false when he made it. ]
have not ordered a gallon, a
quart nor any other quantity of
whiskey for two years, and
don't know just how much long.
er, | won't be specific about the
time. | have not touched whis.
key but one time within three
years. | am opposed to the use
of whiskey at any and all times
and | am especially opposed t
the use of it by a candidate fol
office to secure votes. If it tool
the use of whiskey to nominal,
me for Jailer would quit tn,
track right now. | would no
have a nomination procured b.
. such means.
Again, repeating and emphasiz
ing what | have said about tn
falsity of the statement made b.
Mr.. Stacy, | am,
; Yours very sincerely,
JOE Roe WELLS.

1t has been reported in various
parts of the county that am

nomination for Sheriff. This re.
port was doubtless started be-
case Of the relationship between

here and now brand itas untrue

Circuit Court Convenes and Ad.
journS.

The regular June term of Cir
cult Court convened here Monday
with Judge D. w. Gardner and
Commonwealth's Attorney Floyd
Arnett both present. Owing to
the fact that the farmers of the
county have in larger crops than
usual, the unfavorableness of the
season and scarity of labor it was
deemed best to adjourn the term
until a later day, which was done,
and the II day of September
was the date fixed upon which to
re-convene.
Judge Gardner called a specia
term for August 9Th to hear such
cases in equity as might be ready
for trial.

WHITAKER ENDORSED.
Senators Hogg and Arnett
Withdraw and DR.. J. D.
Whiteaker Endorsed

Harmony reigns supreme in
the ranks of Democracy in the
34th Senatorial district and sue
cess is a certainty.
On Monday, the opening day
of Circuit Court Senators Ed
Hogg and Chas. D. Arnett, ri
val candidates for the Democrat
ic nomination for State Senator,
in the interest Of party harmony
withdrew from the contest and
recommended the nomination OF
DR.. J. D. Whitaker, of Camel
City.
These two candidates sprung
the announcement on the dense.
ly packed court house as a sur
prise, and when the Democrats
realized the magnitude of the
sacrifice these two men were
making for the sake of harmony
pandemonium reigned, and today
Ed Hogg and Charley Arnett are
two of the best loved men in the
district.
DR.. Whiteaker was presen
agreed to become a candidate
and so popularity liked is he tina
it is probable that he will have
no opposition.
Licking Valley courier., 1917-06-21

for County Attorney; but the
Court Of Appeals and the Attor-
ney General at Frankfort, say |
am qualified; and | will cite my
authority to my opponent if he
will come into my Office. Do you
think | would contend for a place
that | could not hold?
If, after having looked into my
record, you see in me the quail
fications Of a County Attorney,
and you decide that you can con-
scienciously cast your vote for
me, it will be greatly appreciated
by me.
If | am elected | shall try to
make you feel glad for having
voted for me by serving you well.

DR.. Whitaker Announces.

In this issue of the Courier
appears the announcement of
DR.. j. D. Whitaker, of Camel
City, as a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for State Sen-
ator from the 34th district.
DR.. Whiteaker enters the race
unopposed by any other Demo-
cfat and as the unanimous choice
Of the Democracy of the district,
and unifies the party to such an
extent that nothing short of a
state of overconfdence on the
part of the Democrats can defeat
him.
1t is fortunate for the party
that DR.. Whiteaker is it's candi-
date. A man of high intellect
ual attainments, ranking high in
the medical profession, a man of
clean life and temperate habits,
he is a candidate that all can en-
Enthusiastically support.
Temperance people can sup
port DR.. Whiteaker with a calm
assurance that their cause is in
safe hands, for he not only advo-
Gates temperance he lives it.
1t is not likely that DR.. White
aker will have opposition in the
general election, but should such
be the case old Morgan would
easily roll up 1900 majority for
him, so great is his personal pop
ularity.
The Courier will have more to
say as the campaign progresses,
bnt we firmly believe that there
will be no opposition to him.
