PETITION FOR DITCH

John Sam Ford and others have
filed a petition in county court for the
opening of a public drainage ditch.
1t is proposed to begin the ditch at
the bridge across Bens Lick creek
and extend it to Rough river near the
NJ. II. and E. railroad bridge across
Bens Lick creek. A lateral ditch is
also asked for, to begin at the old
Lawrence shop on the Hartford and
Centertown road and extend to the
main ditch. The principal ditch would
be about one mile in length and the
lateral ditch about three quarters of
a mile.

Three battallions of American SOL

To ANSWER CALL
Big Demands Made On Ohio
Countians For Second
Army.

the number of men sent from this
county up to S37.
There are now 1876 men of the first
class on the qualified list, and the
men to be sent will nearly exhaust
class one. OF the total number to
qualify in class 1, 23 were colored,
and of these eight have already been
sent to camp.
When the last call was made the
board was ordered to exempt farmers
as far as possible, and as a result of
that order many farmers put out
crops, with the understanding they
would not be called until the crop
was cultivated. Now many farmers
will be called, and some of their
crops will have to be abandoned.
Probably half of the number now
called will be farm boys. 1t is given
out that the number called is based
on the total number in class /, but
in looking over the number called
from other counties it appears that
the demand made on Ohio county
must be too large.
The exemption board has made
register of the following named men
to answer this call:

Heaviest Gold Colin.

The United States has the dlstinc-
ton of coming the gold piece having
the greatest intrinsic value of any In
the world. This is the $50 double
eagle. Three coins of other countries
rank close to this in comparative
worth. These are the Argentine 20
peso piece, worth $19.94; the Colon
bian 20-peso piece, worth $3.50, and
the French 100-franc pieces, whose
value is 5000. The double-eagle is
not only intrinsically the most valua-
BILE, but is likewise the heaviest gold
piece, weighing 33.456 grammes. The
lightest precious metal coin is the B.
cent piece of the Netherlands, weigh.
ing but 0.6S5 grammes. One would
have to carry nearly so of these to
equal the weight of one double-eagle.

GRAvEST0NE 200 YEARS OLD
Stands Over Burial Place Of Col. John
Hathorne, One Of Judges Who
Tried the Salem Witches.

A gravestone which is 200 years old
is one of the things of historic inter-
est which commands the attention of
sightseers to Salem, Mass. 1t is the
gravestone of Col. John Hathorne, who
died May 10, 1717, and who was buried
in the Charter street burying ground in
Salem. Colonel Hawthorne was an an
cestor of the famous Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, who is best known as the au-
thor of "The Scarlet Letter." The colo
mel was one of the judges who tried
the Salem witches, an incident which
Salemites are glad TO forget.
It will be noted that there is q diff.
ference In the spelling Of the two Haw-
thornes. According to report, Natha-
MEL, the author, disliked the odium
which was brought on the family by
reason of the colonel's' connection with
the witchcraft cases. Thereupon the
writer inserted "W" in his name To
"take out the sting" as he expressed It.
A rather hideous looking skull Is
placed at the head Of the gravestone
although the design in itself is artistic
enough.

about the art of being done over. IF

she said. "What do you think? I

London,s Guild Hall.

Guild hall, where the lord mayor OF
London is elected each year, sees many
representatives of the old craft guilds
at the banquet which celebrates these
occasions. Formerly the various guild
officers met In the counsel hall Of this
historic edlf1ce to decide important mu-
nicipal questions. Now the vote Of the
guildmaster counts only as much as any
other Londoner, yet the influence Of the
livery company Is of no mean impor-
lance to the Englishman who Is run
ming for lord mayor. Unfortunately,
the individual guild houses of London
are so scattered that they do not make
the show that they would If grouped
together as in Brussels. In that city

men on the Grand place are one Of the
sights of the city. With other build
ings of prominence they form the finest

Where cocosnuts Grow.

Coc"anuts are one of the largest
money-making crops of the Philippine
islands. While they will grow In al.
most any province, there are localities
that are especially known for their
great nut production. There was until
recently no system for planting these
trees, as plantations were usually sold
after the trees were two and three
years old. The object was to get as
many trees on given area as was pos.
sible to grow. These plantations were
then sold for so much tree. When
1t was seen that the trees would not
bear the quality of fruit they should,
more pains were taken In the planting
and some definite planting scheme ad.
hered to. This has greatly increased
the size of the nut and the quality OF
the meat.

Where Queens Really Rule.

Walter f. McCaleb, author of Hap
py: The Life of a Bee, said not Ions
ago to one who questioned him FOL
further information about bees, tina
he had observed a curious fact In re
gard to the Municipalities of bee col
onies. Two hives may be side by side
with the same surroundings and tn,
same possibilities for gathering honey
yet one Of these colonies will do twice
the work of the other. In his opinion
this difference is caused by the person
alities of the queen bees, some, he
finds, being much fiercer and more en-.
ergetic than others.

WHAT SHE USED TO ENDURE
Woman Tells of Things to Which She
Submitted Before She Cult "Grum-
bling" and Began "klcklne."

Grumbling, complaining and "kick'
Ing" are not synonymous terms; the
first two are as a rule effectless,
while the latter is effective, generally
speaking. A woman who gave up the
first and took to the last, reducing
it to fine art, tells what she used
TO endure before she got the habit Of
complaining to the proper authorities
when things did not suit her.
II would endure inattention from
statesmen or women, and go away

BOARD OF HEALTH NOTICE

Have you been vaccinated? The
State Board of Health has decided as a
war measure to stamp out smallpox
in Michigan and has made vaccination
compulsory. 1t is believed that all
patriotic citizens will at once comply
with the order. There is no higher
patriotism that can be shown than that
of protecting the lives, health and eff
ficiency of our people. Certainly, as
our young men are going to the front
to fight, and If need be die for us, we
owe it to them to see that they are not
needlessly jeopardized by each or any
one of us failing to do our bit towards
stamping out that preventable disease,
smallpox.
