DRILLING BOUT GETS SUPPORT
 OF MINES
EXCAVATION IS FIRST COMPANY TO KICK IN WITH CONTRIBUTION TOWARD PURSE; JER- OMERS WANT RULES.
(From Sundays Daily)

Judging from the responses which arc being received by the miners drilling contest committee, the idea of holding such contest is meeting with approval throughout the county.
 c. w. Johnson, of the Arizona Binghamton, has the honor of being the first to come forward with sub scription toward the Sl,000 purse which is being raised for this event. 'I am certainly in favor of seeing such a contest held in Prescott There is no question in my mind that this contest will mean much not only to the miners, but also the mining opcr- ators. It should be supported by every company in the county and boosted to the utmost" were the words of Mir. Johnson, when he gave Chairman Bilcs check of $50 from his company towards the purse. Fol lowing as a close second to Mir. John son, Major A. J. Pickrell, of the Com mercial Mining Company put up $50 for his company. This started the ball rolling with respect to the mining companies.
 Yesterday afternoon telegram was received from Robert E. Tally, super intednent of the United Verde, in which S2OO was pledged from that company toward the fund. This is the largest subscription received. Mir. Tally also requested information as to the rules, etc.
 Individuals are also showing keen interest in this contest and a sum close to Sl00 was received from the following men; Charley Hooker, Clarence Denny, Joe Rudy, Elmer Branncn, w. P. De Wolf, Jenkins, Jas. Brown, Burt l.. Savage, w. A. Cline, L. C. Bennett and J. P. Odcll.

ANswER.THE-KAIsER.

Columbus celebrated an Answer
-Kaiser-Day Thursday of this week
The celebration is original with the
Liberty Loan Committee of the Co
lumbus Area and is significant be-
cause it marks the close of the sixth
German war loan, which is being
fipated ON the plea that Germany
should answer President Wilson's
threats to witness the overthrow of
the Hohenzollern autocracy; the Co.
lumbus committee proposes that Ohio
shall indicate by heavy subscriptions
to the Second Liberty Loan on that
day that America is a participant in
the world war to its successful con-
clusion. One of the features of the
day was an armada of airplanes cir
cling over the streets Of Columbus.
The committee challenged Col. G.. N.
Bomford, commandant of the Gov
~ernment Aviation school at Dayton;
"betting" 100000 in Liberty Loan
Bonds for every airplane he esent to
fly over Columbus. Col Bomford ac-
cepted the challenge and informed the
committee that they would have to
raise $2,500,000 in subscriptions as he
would send twenty-five airplanes.
This occasion marked the first at
tempt on the part Of the government
at long fight Of fleet Of its war
aircraft; the trip from Dayton to
Columbus and returning being about
one hundred and fifty miles.
Thursday was also the opening of
the National Dairy Show in Columbus

AT the regular meeting of the coun-
Gil Monday evening, Mayor Hoy read
a letter from the States Attorney
General, Joseph McGhee in which the
attorney general advised the Mayor
that he had ordered the State coal
clearing house to send is car loads of
coal to the regular dealers at Wau-
seon. Mayor Hoy has been in com
munIcation with the state officials in
regard to coal for this village for
some time back ard the letter from
the Attorney General received last
Monday indicates that his efforts to
secure fuel for this village will result
successfully. Attorney McGhee
stated in his letter that he had just
returned from Washington after hav-
ing secured an order from the FEEDER
al government, directing every coal
operator in Ohio to load domestic
coal and supply the immediate wants
of every community in the state and
that he had turned over to the State
clearing house an order for Is cars
to be shipped to the regular dealers
in Wauseon, Mr.. McGhee also
wrote the Mayor that if IS cars was
not enough to "holler" for more as

Property owners on Marshall street
were present with a petition asking
for the Improvement Of that street
from East Elm street north to Wal
nut street by paving roadway 20
eet in width with reinforced concrete
The petition was signed by owners of
two-thirds of the foot frontage on the
proposed improvement. The conucil
seemed in favor of granting the pc
tition but owing to the fact that the
season is to far advanced to permit
the completion Of the Improvement
this year it was suggested that the
| petitioners might file a petition for a
sewer which is very much needed on
Marshall street and which will have
to be placed before the street can be
paved. The sewer can be construct
ed this fall giving the street time to
settle before the pavement construct
ion is begun next year, thus making
possible a better and more durable
pavement. The petitioners present
slgnified their intention of acting up
on the suggestion.

After many months of suffering
due to failing health, Mrs. Margaret
brennan passed away at her home
three miles west of Wauseon on Tues
day afternoon October 9th. She
was buried Saturday morning from
St. Caspar's Catholic church of which
she had been a faithful member dur
ing the entire period of her residence
in this community.
Rev. T. A Kennedy, the pastor Of
iciated at the last rites and told how
well Mrs. Margaret brennan was pre-
pared to meet her Creator.
She never had up to the last mo-
ment any doubt that the long years
fef faithful service to Him who "doth
mark the sparrow's fall" would let
her plea to rest with him go unheed-
ed.
Mrs. brennan was born in County
Sligo, Ireland, nearly four score and
ten years ago. She was one of that
long train of migrants who were
lured to the land of the free by the
promise of livelihood and the bless.
ing of liberty and freedom of wor
ship.
Bereft of parents at an early age
and only a sister to counsel and ad
wise, the struggle was a hard one
but gifted with that determination
that surrmounts all obstacles she
labored long and WELL How vel
she succeeded in her labors was at
