drafted men from the county and
all those who have enlisted with q
Sewing Kit or House Wife and the
material and patterns for making

little bags can be folded compactly
and carried in the pocket without
Inconvenience, and we are sending
them to our boys as an apprecla'
ton of their service.
The work room of the League
will be open Saturday afternoon
from to 5 and those interested in
this movement can bring their do
nations or contributions of money
there, or else make a kit and fur
nish it themselves. We will be
grateful for any help that is given
US.
We arein receipt of letter from
the Highland boys at Camp Lee
expressing their appreciation to
the women of the League for the

Boy Locked Up

Late Saturday evening Sheriff
Graham brought to town anc
locked up a lad named Russell
Ginger, the warrant charging him
with completely in the robbery Of
C. P. Houlihan's store, Jackson's
River, on Sept. 81.
1t seems that the evidence lead
ing to his arrest was the effort on
his part to dispose of one or two
pocket knives thought to have been
among the punch board prizes on
sale in the store when the store was
robbed, and about which he was
said to have told conflicting stories.
Young Ginger, who is a son of
Mrs. Pierce Simmons, is only about
Is years of age, and it seems to be
the opinion of the authorities that
he knows something of the burglary,
even though he may not have been
there himself. 1t will be recalled
that the firm whose store was
plundered, last week offered a re-
ward of 500 for the apprehension
of the thief or thieves. and what
ever the outcome of the present
arrest may be, the sexual shows
that advertising puts Ginger in
business.
Later Since putting the above
in type, the lad was given a trial
Thursday morning before Justice
Samples and released for lack of
evidence.

very i'll for week at the home OF
her son, W. L. Trilnble, South of

denly last Friday, and her con-
dition has since then been regarded
as critical.
The sale Of T. ]. Rexrode's per-
sonal property, held Wednesday

quick and lively. The sale aggre-
gated something like 81 200. E. D..
Swecker was auctioneer.
Geo. L. Eakle, of Elkins, sent US
a renewal and pays his old home
paper the following compliment:
1.-The Recorder comes each week
rs a most welcome addition to our
reading matter, and is eagerly
sought and enjoyed by each member
of our family"
Now, that the town authorities
have given us a splendid street,
something that every citizen
should approve and may point to
with pride, it will be most un=
fortunate should our people fail in
individual, civic pride and good
taste. Failure on the part of prop
erty owners to shape up frontage,
SOW grass seed, keep down weeds,
prevent the accumulation of waste,
provide neat fencing these are the
things that will mar and spoil the
effect of what has been so we'll
done.
Except where civic pride is an
unknown quantity in mans make
up, a "neat-andin- order" cam
paign produces a sort of contagin
and all fall in line, each vying with
the other in an effort to maitain
the approved standard and con-
tribute his part toward "the city
beautiful" The public eye is on
you, Will you do you individual
part, and do it in keeping with the
fitness of things?

WITH PERJURY
Local Collector Arrested On

UIDn an affidavit made by Isaac N.
Shafer of Columbus, with whom he is
said to have had dealings early in the
year, Bernard Kern, of the Merchants
in the Knox county Jail Friday after
noon by Patrolman James Taylor to
await the arrival of an officer Of the
Columbus police department to take
the accused man to that city to an
swer in the Columbus municipal courts
to charge of perjury.
The affidavit was made on Novem.
ber ) and 1t was not until recently
that it became known to the local pc.
lice that Kern was wanted. AS soon
as this was ascertained and the nature
of the charge was intimated to the
mayor, Officer Taylor was ordered to
arrest him and did so at Kern's office
on the west side Of the public square
at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon.
A telephone call was put in by Mayor
Mitchell to the Columbus police and
Officer William ]. Nugent came to this
city Saturday morning to return with
Kern to Columbus.

Emma Kern against |. N. Shafer, al
action brought to collect an alleged

OF ROAD BUILDING
Good Roads Federation Trus-
tees Vote Against Too
Great Retrenchment

Copies of resolutions adopted by
the board of trustees of the Ohio
Good Roads federation at a meeting
Tuesday, have been received here.
The federation declares against u too
great reduction of road.building pro-
grams. In this connection, it may be
noted that, because of the fact that
there is one mile of the proposed
Wooster road on which there is no
rural route, the Knox county federal
aid program now calls for four miles
paving there and two miles on the
Columbus road.
