ter contains the following:
Text Of Letter
The Social Service Bureau is again
ready for work, and there is a big
field for its activities in this commun-
ity. You may be familiar with it's
work in the past, but we want to give
you a synopsis of its operations, and
leave you to judge if it merits your
assistance in the future.
It's functions have been the distribu-
ton of charitable relief, the care of
dependent and delinquent children.
baby welfare work, the elimination of
professional begging, the establish
ment of a general dispensary, the Sc
curing of a tuberculosis hospital, the
employment of a public health nurse,
and other matters of civic betterment.
The Bureau was instrumental in re-
ducing the number of dependent chill
dren in the public institutions from
IS in 1915 to % in 1915, a decrease of
701s per cent. At an annual cost Of
$4,000 for each child, this meant a
saving of $9,7820O to the taxpayers.
Dependent Total Reduced
The number of dependent families
was also greatly reduced through the
investigations of the Bureau, and with
the cooperation of the Township Trus-
tee, effecting a considerable additional
saving to the taxpayers.
Too much of the work of the Bureau
a direct and tangible financial benefit
cannot be traced, but which is reflect
ed in a better and more wholesome
community.
If you are interested in the continu-
alton and extension of this civic and
social work will you not duplicate
your former contribution or increase
it, if possible? The success of the
Bureau depends largely upon the finan-
cial support of the citizens. We do not
wish to make a personal solicitation,
believing you will act just as con-
scientiously through this form of
appeal.
The Bureau is pleased to announce
that it has secured Miss S. Ethel Clark
of indianapolis for General Secretary.
Miss Clark has been connected with
the Board Of State Charities for the
past nine years, and had had five
years previous experience in this work.
In her Official position Miss Clark has
travelled all over the State, thus plac-
ing her in touch with the various Off
Gals and institutions connected with
social and charitable work.
Thanking you for your cooperation

FARMERS CAN'T
SHIP OUT HOGS

Wayne county farmers and stock
buyers are losing money on hogs
because of the lack Of facilities to
ship them to the markets.
Owing to the lack of box cars, the
railroads are unable to handle live
stock that is to be shipped to the
markets. This kind of weather when
hogs cannot be turned out and must
be fed to keep them in condition, it
is proving an expensive proposition
to the farmers. To make matters
worse many large stock feeders are
running short of corn
However, the Trans portation serv-
ice company will aid in solving the
problem of moving the stock to In
dianapolis and Cincinnati markets as
soon as the roads are in condition
for the trucks to be used
Many farmers of the county are
taking advantage of this possible way
out of the difficulty

Kills Wife As His Father
Did Mother ~ Years Ago

DAYTON, O., Jan. "a Under cir.
cumstances similar in every respect
to those under which his father shot
and killed his mother, and then be.
came the victim of his own hand. 27
years ago, Sam E. Geist, AZ years
old, fatally shot his divorced wife,
Eva Finfrock Geist, so, at her room
ing house 551 West Third street, at
s o'clock last night, and then turned
the revolver upon himself, dying in
stantly.
The reports of three shots brought
D. D. Wells and D. Lloyd, roomers
at the house to the scene where they
found both bodies in the hall. They
called the police Immediately. When
policemen Firestine and Horne ar
rived, they found the front door
locked. Gaining entrance through
Wells rooms in the rear of the house
they went to the front hall finding a
candle which the woman had carried
lying on the floor by her body, the
flame having caught the collar of her
dress.
After extinguishing the candle they
turned their attention to the man
whom they found dead in unique po-
sition. After shooting the woman
twice, once in the left eye and the
second bullet taking effect in the
right cheek, he had evidently knelt
over her body to see if she were dead
before turning the gun upon his right
temple. AS he fell backward in the
kneeling position his left arm flung
itself behind him, bracing against the
floor and supporting the body in an
angular position. The revolver of 80
caliber was found half concealed by
the woman's body where it had been
flung from a nerveless hand.
