COMPLICATING CRIME.

Everett Maddox, of near Reynolds,
a sixteen year old boy, is in Jail,
charged with the crime of having
carnal knowledge of a female under
sixteen years of age. Wymond
Brown, of the same community, is
under a similar charge, but fled pre-
cipitately when an arresting officer
approached him. The girl involved
is Veola Temple an orphan girl, who
has been making her home with John
Bellamy. A warrant has also been
4 sued for Bellamy. charging him with
subornation of prejury. II IS said
that men, other than the two men
toned, have had Illicit relations with
the girl. She came to the Reynolds
community from Hancock county sew
eral months ago. The girl stated to
the officer issuing the warrant that
she was advised by Bellamy 70 make
certain statements to tine officer. and
is was for this charge warrent was
issued for Bellamy. The girl will
become a mother as a result Of her
immortality. 1t is a deplorable situa-
ton, and the county officials will
make a strong effort to increase the
membership of the criminal club at
Eddyville.

HENRY FORD'S BOY
KEPT OUT OF WAR

Henry Ford's boy, Edsel Ford, was
refused exemption by the local and
district boards, but was released from
military service by Presidential ex-
emption. Thus Henry is still en-
abled to sing the Democratic cam
paign hymn of 1916: 81 did not raise
my boy to be soldier" and can
truthfully repeat the slogan: "He
kept us out of war" Just what the
effect of the transaction will be upon
the mothers and fathers of Michigan
boys, who not being favored with an
influential ancestor, are called upon
to make the supreme sacrifice in be-
half of country, remains to be seen.
There have been several cases of ex-
emption of this kind. Two of them
kept young men of the Scripps family
out of war. The Scripps family owns
a string of newspapers which whoop-
ed it up for the Democratic party on
the pacifiest platform in 1916 and
which have been whooping it up on
different grounds ever since the last
election. Edsel Ford and the Scripps
boys are no better than the rest of the
boys in this country, no matter how
many newspapers and automobile
plants their dads own, or how many
senatorial booms they may have con-
cealed about their persons. If one OF
the two Fords is essential to the con-
duct of the fiivver industry, let Henry
stay at home and let Edsel go to the
front, instead of having Edsel stay
at home and Henry go to the Senate,
by command. Edsel doesn't exactly
sound like a warriors name but it is
probable that he will make as good
a soldier as his father would a states
man.-National Republican.

LATE HOUR WEDDING.

Weddings, like births, are not re-
specters of the hours of the night
as was illustrated here Thursday
night, when Mr.. NJ. S, Bartlett and
Miss Cora b. Smith, of the Taffy com
munity, appeared at Judge Cook $
residence at eleven in the evening to
have the nuptial knot tied. Mr.. Bart
lett and Miss Smith ostensibly started
TO church and, giving their friends
slip, came on to Hartford to get mar
ried. They came to the Clerks Of
fee, procured the necessary license,

CHOOSING ROAD MATERIALS.

There are many inalienable rights
of the individual with which neither
friends nor enemies have any call to
interfere. He may wed a wife with
the brains of a dead haddock and we
cannot say nay, nor may we use more
verbal advice to prevent his early de-
mise by eating "slip-on" that famous
food of lower New York consisting of
foundation of hot mince pie and a
wearing surface of sizzling WEIGH
rarebit. But when he takes advan-
tage of the right he possesses in many
places to select the kind of pavement
laid in front of his property every
body has justification for raising
strong objection. The road is for
public use, and even when a consid-
cradle part If its improvement is paid
by local assessment the community
contributes the remainder of the cost
and therefore should have a voice in
determining its nature. The average
taxpayer is not a road expert; the
ability to drive an automobile over a
slippery pavement without skidding
does not make him one, although it
may make him a helpful critic. II
takes years of study and experience
to develop a road expert. He must
know not only the method of con-
structing types of roads under diff
ferent conditions, but also the eco
nomical advantages of all these diff
ferent types. Sooner or later he will
be employed on every important road
undertaking and the beginning of his
service should be at the outset of the
work, so his knowledge may be the
guide for the selection of the type of
construction. To wait until the con-
tract is let, is to throw away a very
large part of the help he can give.
No engineer can be held responsible
for the behavior of roads unless all
the steps that must be taken in origi-
mating and carrying on the construc-
ton have his approval,-American
Highway Association.

REFITTING THE BASTILE.

The county bastile is being refitted
with modern caging and equipment.
New caging of the highest grade pris-
on steel is being installed, and when
the work is completed no equipment
of saws and crowbars would avail

steel cages will be put in on the
ground floor, and the upper floor will
be fitted up for female, and child pris-
oners. When the improvements now
in progress are completed Ohio coun-
ty will have one Of the most secure
and sanitary jails in the state.

DRAFT REGULATIONS.

Advices from Washington, appar-
emily authentic, are that 1t is very
probable that the registrants in class

be called for service. The authori-
ties apparently are contemplating

DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTNING.

Tuesday afternoon, lightning struck
the barn of Mr.. Elbridge Bennett, a

departure of quota of boys for the
army camp, good crowd was at
the depot to bid them god-speed
on their journey and a safe return.
There is little demonstration now at
the departure of the boys. The war
has come to be regarded as a serious
business rather than a matter of en-
thusiasm, and their going is looked
upon as a necessary event in a great
world business. The boys themselves
so regard it. They display little en-
thusiasm for the task before them but
look upon it as a duty to be borne
with resignation. Those leaving
