In former times printing, to the
average person, simply meant the i'm
preston of type upon paper. The
printers art has, however. in recent
years, changed this idea and now the
progressive business man realizes the
fact that the character of his printed
matter exercises decided influence
upon his customers.
The Hayworth Publishing House,
one OF the oldest established and most
modernly equipped printing concerns
Of this city. has succeeded in pro-
dueins. among other specialized lines
of printing. high-class office station
cry, such as letter-heads, envelopes,
cards, etc. which conveys the idea they
are the work Of the die stamper.
Nevertheless, they are produced with
out the use of costly plates. and are
rapidly gaining favor with business
houses that are particular as to the
character of their stationery and other
printed matter.

JOHNSON HIT
BY A HEAVY TIE
Fellow Worker At Danville
Is A Bit Careless
CONTUSIONS G A u S E D
Injured Man Rushed To This CITY
And Placed In HospitaI-Con-
dition Not As Bad AS
First Indication

The full extent of the injuries
sustained Monday afternoon at Dan
vile by Ed Johnson, colored, whose
home is in Charleston, W. Va, but
who is in the employ of the local
Pennsylvania shops, has not been de-
termined. The railroad tie with
which he was struck across the back
made number of contusions and
those are all the injuries as far as is
known now.
Johnson has been employed here
for only short time and was mem
ber of a section gang which was
working on the Pennsy tracks near
Danville. Some railroad ties were
being unloaded from a repair car and
Johnson was helping. Another man,
also member of the section gang,
in throwing a tie off was bit care
less. it is said, and struck Johnson.
The worst was feared for Johnson
by his co-workers, as he was unable
to move except to turn slightly on
his side.
An engine and caboose were se-
cured as soon as possible and the
injured section hand was brought to
Mt. Vernon for the attention of the
local shop surgeon. He was taken to
the Mt. Vernon hospital in an ambu-
lance where a thorough examination
was made.
Commissions made by the tie may
be the extent of the injuries sustain
ed by Johnson, although it is feared
he is more seriously hurt.

WORK
On Martinsburg Utica Rd
To Start Again

Last summer the contract for lay
ing four miles of road from Martins
burg to Utica was awarded the
Mansfield Construction Co. This
concern started in on the work, but
only succeeded in constructing a few
culverts when it went into financial
bankruptcy. A receiver was appoint
ed and the road remained unfinished.
The Knox county commissioners on
Monday were informed that the state
highway commission had entered
into a contract with Edmund Burke
for the completion of the road by
force account. Mr.. Burke will be
paid by the day for his services. 1t
is hoped that the road may be COM
pleted by the end of this summer.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especial
ly careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.

JAY R. Clutter
STEPS down AS
COUNCIL HEAD
Resignation Forced BY Re
moval From City
PIPE PRESENTED HIM
Service To City His Happi-
est Recollection Of
Mt. Vernon
PIPE PRESENTED HIM

Jay R. Clutter formally relinquish-
ed the reins of president Of the legis-
latiye branch of city government
Monday evening when his written
resignation was presented to council
and accepted, but with outspoken re-
gret.
AS an attest of the esteem in which
he has been held by his confreres
during the nearly two years of his
service, a handsome gold-mounted
pipe-the gift of councilmen, city Of.
licials and newspaper reporters
was rendered MIR. Clutter by Coun-
Gilman Brentlinger, who acted as
ments OF the donors in saying: I'VE
deplore that you are leaving us, but
join in wishing you luck and God
speed in your new venture"
Mr.. Clutter left Tuesday for Co
lumbus where he will take up the
practice of law. He expects to re-
turn to Mt. Vernon frequently the
next several weeks in clearing up
his practice here. After that, he will
be located permanently in Columbus.
In his resignation, Mr.. Clutter
spoke of the courteous treatment ac-
corded him on the part of the coun-
cilmen. He emphasized that he was
proud TO have presided over such an
intelligent body of men. Orally, he
said that it had been a source of
great satisfaction to him that the in
dividual members of council had,
without exception, cast aside selfish
motives and impulses in voting on
measures, and looked forward to the
common gooG of all. He reviewed
hastily the most serious problem
that OF finance-with which the city
has had to contend, and breathed the
hope that some day Ohio cities may
be able to cast off the shackles of
financial bondage and be led by a
Moses out OF the Wilderness"
1t has been a frequent comment of
Mr.. Clutter, during his incumbency
in Office, that all problems should be
viewed over a period of years and
not merely from the standpoint of
the present. He again referred to
this Monday night and expressed the
hope that council would continue
with this vision. He concluded with
the statement that the happiest
recollection he will have of Mt. Yer
non is the period he served the city
i'll capacity of president of council.
Charles X. Salisbury, by virtue OF
his position of president pro tenn,
becomes president of council. Coun'
Gil has the power to fill vacancy in
it's number by direct vote. An cleo.
tion is not necessary. 1t is expected
that nominations for the vacant posi-
tion will be made at the next regular
meeting of the body two weeks
hence. Already a number of names
are being mentioned.

KNOX COUNTY SHOULD DO
ITS BIT IN INCREASING
RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP
Communicated

President Wilson has asked that
the American people strengthen the
American Red Cross society to one
million members.
1t needs this number to support
the movable base hospitals and field
ambulances in their relief to the sick
and injured soldiers and refugees.
Overwhelming demands are being
made upon the American Red Cross,
which numbers less than 300, 900
members out of our 100,000,000 popu-
lation. Japan, with a population of
but 40,O0O,OO0, has 100000 Red
Cross members. England, Russia and
France have each over 100000 mem
bers.
Many do not know how they can
join-they think the Red Cross is a
society of doctors and nurses only.
Any man, woman or child may hold a
membership without regard to race,
politics or religion. 1t is the one way
in which we can SNOW our mercy ana
patriotism. 1t is the only volunteer
society authorized by the United
States government to render aid
Become a member by paying 81, So,
So, or any amount you can afford
from 81 up.
Membership is our first duty. Al
ter that you may sew, knit, nurse or
do nothing more, as you wish. No
active work or field service is re-
quired OF members. Have your mon
ey ready when the membership com
| mittee visits you
The Red Cross does not work with
any other organization, in war or
civilian relief work, under different
names.
