AUTO THIEF
Toledo Auto Thief Transfers Oscar
Geer's to Fostoria-Gets Check for
$25.O0 on Account and Disappears
Sheriff Boone and Toledo Police
Get Car But Not Thief.

Oscar Geer who lives North of
ience in rapid transfer of property
from himself and back agan-Presto-
change-now you see it now you
dont-see it.
Last Saturday morning his son and
family drove his auto to Toledo for
the purpose of doing some trading;
some of the purchases were made and
deposited in the car, consistiny Of
sheet music, shoes and other articles
also two overcoats and lap robes
were left in the car which was left
standing on the street. About $3.50
in the afternoon the party were
ready to start home but when they
went to get the car it was not there;
the place that once knew it. knew
it no more. Search in the city prov
ed fruitless, and Mr.. Geer notified
sheriff Boone of his loss; Mr.. Boone
Immediately got in touch with the
Toledo police force and by 11:00
o'clock Saturday night they had the
car located at Fostoria. Investiga-
ton disclosed the facts that the thief
had sold the car to a Fostoria party
for $4,000 had taken a check for
S2500 as part payment on the car
and two overcoats then disappeared.
On Sunday sheriff Boone went to Fos-
toria secured the car and delivered
it to the owner, Mr.. Geer. The
thief will be located sooner or later
But Mr.. Geer will not be apt to leave
an auto alone on tie street of Toledo
hereafter. Mr.. Boone is congratu-
lating himself that he succeeded in
locating the auto in so short time
and we presume the thief is feeling
good that he got away with two per-
fectly good overcoats; then, he may
be able to convert that $25.00 check
into cash.

as the candidate against Foraker for
his third term. in 1889, said:
"The nomination of the Governor of

his command is an outrage against

The spirit of the people behind the Camn

The direct and efficient way they went about
It's realization. The 100000 people of the

community was asked to give $40 for each
OF its representatives among the soldiers
at camp. AT time, when the building
committee was confronted untimely with
bills for $4,000, special appeal was sent
TO one community, and the amount in full
was forwarded to Chllicothe in less than

r very Day Is
A Circus Day

Fer that is just what it is now in the
camp towns. Military bands, scores of
them! Parades, daily and sometimes twice
and thrice daily! All the more exciting,
because unannounced! Horses, wagons,
cannon, machine guns, armored automobiles
flying flags, pitched tents, rows after rows
of barracks, and, all manned by men in
uniform.
Is it any wonder that a town (whose
thoroughfares are always crowded by the
visit of circusl, suddenly becomes the
Mecca for thousands upon thousands Of
visitors, when train after train ushers
in fresh troops to encamp for training in
the National Army, each with its separate
bands and each with its separate sets of
equipment? That John Doe, the circus Wis
itor, brings a different self--a Sightseeing
business, patriotic, or perchance son-ad-
miring SELF to the camp, does not mat
ter. The point is, John comes. He is con-
fronted by an entirely new situation in
his own and in the communitys life. To
him the routine surrounding the camp is
complex, as it is to many a civilian and
soldier living in the community and in the
camp. He is at sea until he consults some
one who knows
And Mr. Average Citizen, thanks to the
War Camp Community Service of any camp
town, can now refer him to some one who
knows
There are stationed in the railway sta
tions, in churches and schools in the corri-
dors of public buildings and in booths along
the sidewalks of any camp town informa-
tion secretaries whose duties are to make
themselves useful to any one, soldier, sailor,
marine or civilian, who presents himself or
herself at the desk. From early morning
until late night these versatile community
intelligence dispensers consult. inform and
advise; consult, inform and advise; consult,
inform and advise.
If War Camp Community Service did
nothing else but act as an information bu-
reau for soldiers and sailors and their civil
ian friends it would be performing worth
while task. But this is only where its work
begins.
