Prosperity Is Reflected In
Decreased Number Of
Vagabonds
Is MORE BURIALS
IN 1916 THAN IN 1915
Decrease Is Noted In Fires;
Some Interesting Stats
tics OF Past Year

A concrete example or tne prosper
ity of the country is found in the
greatly decreased number of vagrants
lodged in the city lookup during the
year just closed as compared with
the figures for 1915.
During 1916, there were SAT home
less men who sought the shelter af-
forded by the city. These were of all
nationalities and came from all Sec
tions of the country and the globe.
In 1915 there were, in all, 1886
vagrants housed by the city-over 500
more than last year.
This also indicates that all va
grants are not mere "bums." The in
flux of this particular class of So
ciety to Mt. Vernon has behind it all
the economic and financial conditions
of the country. Five hundred men,
unemployed in 1915, were probably at
work in 1916 and, still more probably,
they were honest in their appeals for
assistance when in Mt. Vernon. This
is natural inference.
1t was during the month of March
this year that the largest number of
vagrants was housed. An average of
more than eight night slept in the
city lookup, the total for the month
being 257. During the months of
July, August and September, there
were no vagrants, all probably
sleeping out-ofdoors. In June, there
were only two.
The total number of arrests made
last year is 1920, as against 1885
made in 1915. Omitting vagrants,
there were 373 arrests in 1916 and
2S2 in 1915. The arrests by months
follow:
January-215.
February-175.
March-2S1.

Mound View cemetery the past year,
according to Charles Fredericks, su'
perintendent.
In 1915, there were 156 interments;
in 1914, there were 140.
The month of January, 1916, with
80 buriais, represented the largest
mortality. Last year, the largest
month was October, with 20 burials

Mother Appears; stranger FIees


Gallon, Dec. 30--"There's lady
sick and she wants to see you," was
the remark of well-dressed stranger,
apparently about 80 years of age, to
Mary Ellen, the six-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Feight of
Gallon.
When the little girl hesitated, the
man savagely added, "If you don't go
with me I'll lick you."
At this time, the mother of the
youngster appeared on the scene and
the man fled down the alley.
According to the story as told by
witnesses, the youngster had stopped
at the home Of Burt Cole, formerly
of Mt, Gilead, who lives next door, to
see the little Cole girl. When she
left the Cole home, she was accosted
by the stranger with the above re-
marks. Luckily, the mother saw the
affair and came out of the house, prob
ably just in time to save her daugh-
ter from fiendish attack.

Skates IS Years Old

Mt. Gilead, Dec. 3O-John Hayden
of Mt. Gilead has pair of skates he
values highly. His father gave them
to him 55 years ago this Christmas,
when John as mere lad first learned
to skate.
They are of the ''stub-toe" kind, a
we'll remembered style of skate, quite
unlike the huge "turnovers" with
acorns at the end of the gracefully
shaped toe-end of the skate worn only
by the grown-ups who could afford
them.
Mr.. Hayden's old skates are in a
perfect state of preservation, and if
he could be permitted to remain upon
the old earth a thousand years long
er they would still be skates in per-
feet order, no doubt.

Kempster S. Paderick, son-in-law of
Governor Cats, is state naval stores

There is hardly a doubt that the
senate in its first executive session
will fail to confirm the recent ap-
pointment of S. S. Stanford as county
Judge of Hamilton county, to succeed
Judge B. B. johnson, recently remov-
ed by the governor for alleged
drunkenness. There does not seem to
be as much objection to the removal
of Judge Johnson as to the oppoint-

by Johnson in the primary last spring
and who was one of the Cats adj
visers in the recount proceedings
from Hamilton county before the SUI

DOLLARS F BOND
SALES FALL FLAT
Government Can and Will
Lay Hands on All Wealth
if Necessary

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Declaring that
the Liberty Loan affords splendid
opportunity for the removal of the
savings from the stocking to a safer
place. Secretary Daniels in an address
before the lroquois Club here to-day
made a stirring appeal for the sue
cess of the second offering.
Money is plentiful in America" +"
declared the Secretary. The banks
are overfowing with it; the stock
ings are bulging out with it. That
depository is not the safest would
advise all who use that ancient de-
pository to take every dollar out and
put it in Liberty Bonds.
Il wish every dollar in America
was on legs, so that 1t had to march
up the street and ride on the street
cars to get home. Then we could
see the dollars and enlist them In
the selective draft. Under the law
we have the right to do so but the
first Liberty Loan was responded TO
so cheerfully and so fully that there
was no necessity and there will lie
no necessity now.
Just as truly as a republic can
lay it's hand on a young man and
send him to France in the trenches,
so 1t can and will, If necessary, lay
its hands on every dollar in Amer
ica."
