St. MARYS MAN
Said to Have Considerable Money ON
His Person, Has Dropped
From Sight

William Massie, well known St.
Marys resident has been missing from
that city since last Thursday, and no
clue has as yet been found to his
probable whereabouts.
He is supposed to have had consid-
cradle money on his person at the
time of his disappearance and his
family fear he may have met with
foul play
There Is also belief that he may
have lost his mind, The st. Marys
Leader, in commenting on, his disap-
pearance, says:
I'm monemtary viist, Wednes-
day to Ed Hoewischer's confection-
cry, formerly conducted by Tony
Massie, the elder Mr. Massie is quot
ed as saying there was company at
the house and he did not care to stay.
This is accounted strange, as he is on
friendly terms with the callers, Geo.
Brodbeck and his daughter, Mrs. Ru-
dolph Simon, the latter of Celina.
Just prior to leaving his residence
Mr.. Massie said H. G.. McLain, at the
Banking & Trust company, wanted to
see him. This circumstance causes
further fear on the subject of his
mental balance, as Mr.. McLain says
he had not sent for Mr.. Massie, and
that the latter did not visit the bank,

Don't They Turn Out and Kill Hawks,
Then, and Show Their
Patriotism
[Auglaize County DemocratI

GAuglaize County Democrat
Some sportsmen in and near WRpa-
koneta are making what they believe
to be a righteous holler" anent the
passing recently of legislation which
places the quail in the song-bird class.
By the provisions of the bill which
passed the legislature of the state
several weeks ago the quail is given
protection from the hunters the same
as the songbirds. The sportsmen
realized the wisdom OF passing such
a bill, yet they claim the game law
is still unsatisfactory in that it does
not protect the bird against its worst
enemy.
1t is said that chicken hawk will
kill more of the birds which it is
sought to protect than will hunters
of the state during the open seasons.
The hunters do not claim that the
law is bad as it stands, but the OBJ
lection is that they are to be prohib-
tied from killing the birds while the
hawks will be allowed to make in
roads on the Bob-white population as
they have in years past without ade-
quate steps being taken to prevent
them.
1t is pointed out that law is in
force which provides a head bounty
for chicken hawks, but it is said To-
cally that there is no fund available
for the payment of the bounty were
the birds of prey to be brought in.
Hunters feel that if a part of the Ii
cense required from them annually
was expended in the eradication of
the hawk, which they say, is the real
enemy of the quail, this legislation
against them" would be unneces-
sary.

SOUEN C. SORENSEN
WIN Be the Third Number Of Wash
mgtOn Township Lecture
Course, March 3

.Soren G. Sorensen will entertain
the people of Washington township
at the third number of the lecture
course, on Monday evening. March s.
Mr.. Soresen has travelled widely in
Denmark, Norway. England, Canada
and the United States. His lectures
are absolutely original He speaks
only upon countries through which he
has travelled and subjects with which
he is thoroughly acquainted. His
broad experience, high ideals, and
culture, which has come from college
, life, extensive travel, three years of
successful lecturing, and association
with people and conditions of extra
ordinary interest, enables him to
bring a message of surprising charm.
Mr.. Sorensen's lectures on Scandi-
navia are unique, interesting, beauti-
full. He speaks in the native cos
tunes of Denmark and Norway. His
Danish accent is just the finishing
touch to his lectures.
Mr.. Sorensen's comments on the
European war are well worth hear
and neutrally But because of his
own ancestry. he is able to throw an
inside light on the causes and events
of the war, which the American is
unable to grasp.
Mr.. Sorensen is a magnetic speaker
charming his audiences because of his
perfect freedom, well modulated
voice, distinct, yet attractively for
eign enunciation, and strong person
ality. He holds every audience cap
tIvated by his beautiful descriptions.
He fasinates them by the unusual
ness and charm of his personality and
his message.
Mr.. Sorensen is one of the able
men on the lecture platform today.
His work is highly endorsed by pull
pit, press and audience. Those who
hear him once, want to hear him
again.
