 TO PAY OFF EMPLOYES

DUBIN, Dec. (by Associated Press) - Proposals have been made that the corporation of the city of Dublin sell some of it's official para phernalia in order to obtain funds for it's employees or charities. This is an outcome of the refusal of the gov ernment agents to turn over to the Sim Fein city government certain public funds which heretofore were utilized to support the city admins tration
 One of the articles, sale of which has been proposed, is the massive gold chain of office of the high sheriff of the city. The present high sheriff is not Sim Feiner but physician who strved through the war and was appointed by Lord French; but he has suggested that the chain be sold and the proceeds be devoted to keeping open the Pigeon House hospital for "IlCl lHt DOi dtlOll had closed for lack of funds when the government withheld them
 A Sim Fein councillor, P. T.

 Several of the pictures proposed to be sold are good examples by old masters

 GREATLY IMPROVED

CHICAGO, Dec. 6 (by Associated Press). - A great improvement in rails now in use in the United States is reported by the American Railway Engineering Association. Some years age the number of rails that failed to give normal service or broke under moving train became alarmingly large, the worst condition being reached about 1905 This led to in vestigation by the American Railway Association and later by the railway engineering association.
 "A drop in the rail failures from almost 400 per 1>& track miles for five years service in 1908 rails to "A in the 1914 rails is a decrease of over 80 per cent" writes M. H. Wick horst, engineer of tests of the engi- neering associations rail committee in his report just issued here "We may well feel elated over this good performance and congratulate the mills and railroads that brought about the result.
 "A close study of the detail reports indicate that a further decrease of over eighty per cent of the failures of the 1914 rails is possible"

 CONTINUE OIL DRILLING

Sellander drHler, made statement of the pro- gfess of the drilling, and read log of the well, and MT Thompson made a statement of the financial condition of the company. MT. WaXon and MT Burman, both employed at the we'll were called upon and made state ments favorable to the continuation of the drilling. Mir Sellander eX- pressed his confidence in finding oil at shallow depth, basing his opinion on the similar conditions existing here and in the Katalla field, where the oil is encountered at a depth of from 200 to 600 feet. The presence of gas was spoken of and Capt. Lath- rop brought out the fact that the wells and the camp at Katalla are lighted by natural gas, which is also used as fuel
 At the suggestion of Sidney Ander- son committee was appointed to so- licit funds to continue the drilling According to Driller Sellander the well can be continued without casing as long as the solid formation lasts, at which point string of four-inch casing will be started and the drilling continued the same as before. The committee appointed consists of Cap tain Lathrop, Sidney Anderson and Arthur Shonbeck. The committee will take active steps to raise the neces- sary funds.

THE INDUSTRIES OF RossFoRD

Rossford has several things in the
line of industry which have helped it
to become the fine town it now is, 10
years of age, with nearly 1000 in
habitants. Modern in all respects, the
finest club in the state, the largest in
dependent glass works in the United
States, feed mill which, when the
$500,O00 addition is completed, will
have a capacity of 800 carloads daily,
one of the largest sugar factories in
the United States, and the baby plant
of Geo. Purcell & Sons, which although
only in operation six months, has been
enlarged and is doing fine business
in the line of beveling glass.
The Ford Glass was really the main
cause of Rossford's existence, the main
part of the town being built by Edward
Ford at the time the Ford works was
started. At the present time they are
erecting 45 modern homes and one of
the finest apartment houses in this
section of the state.
The $4,000 club house is the gift
of Edward Ford to the town. The club
has large membership. Friday eve
nings are devoted to sports, bowling,
cards and dancing for the ladies. The
club is welcoming men who are not
connected with Ford's also, and also
has junior membership for the young
boys.
Rossford has one of the most modern
banks to be found anywhere. With the
addition of a new $50, 900 M. E. church
to be erected on Superior street will
fill up all the available space on the
street.
Eagle Point Colony on the river ad-
joins Rossford and is one of the beauty
spots of our town.
In fact there are no "limits" to
Rossford's advantages.

CAREER OF EDWARD FORD

Edward Ford, president of the Ed
ward Ford Plate Glass Companay, was
born at Danville, Ind, January FL,
1S43. He received high school edu-
cation, and his first ten years of bust
ness life We're spent in boating on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, first in the
capacity Of clerk and later as captain.
His run was from Louisville to New
Orleans After selling out his steam
boat interests he engaged in the
manufacture of window glass with his
father and brother. In 1870 his father,
Capt. ]. B. Ford, built the~first plate
glass works in America, at New AL
bany, Ind, which was destroyed by fire
before all the machinery was in place.
The works were rebuilt and ran for
number of years, until Capt. Ford sold
out and went to Creighton, Pa, where
he built the first works of what is now
known as the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Co. When he built, however, this COM
pany was not in existence, the orig
inal name being the New York City
Plate Glass Co. When it was organ
lied Edward Ford was elected its
president and general manager, re-
naming with the company in that ca
pacity for fifteen years. He then sold
out his entire interest to the company
and retired, going to Wyandotte,
Mich, where his father was interested
in the soda ash business. For two
years he managed the business, but his
heart was not in it. AS he expressed
it: 81 am no chemist, and the soda
ash business is all chemistry"
He longed to get back into busi-
ness he understood, and it was but
natural that he should return to the
manufacturing of plate glass. He then
came to Toledo and built No. factory
and at the same time established the
town of Rossford, o., in the year OF
1899. In 1913 No. 2 factory, which is
the largest plate glass factory in the
world, was completed and put into
operation. Mr.. Ford, on account OF
poor health, for the past year has not
been able to give the business but very
little attention, depending on his sor
George and his able assistants to lool
after the affairs of the company.

BOOST, BRETHREN

Talk about your Dixie Land
Or "Swanee River" home,
"Greenland's Icy Mountains"
Or where e'er you care to roam;
There's no where in this country,
The land that gave us birth
A better lace than Rossford,
It's the best old town on earth.
We love its pleasant places,
The churches, club, and homes,
Its sea of happy faces
As on its streets one roams;
And each one seems so CHEEKY
And smiles and says, Hello!
The days are never dreary,
When Rossford folks you know.
So let's Hurrah! for Rossford,
The grandest town there is,
And boost till all the knockers
Will go about their "biz;"
And love the town as we do
And sing it's praises loud.
So, Friend, if you're knocker,
Come join our booster crowd.
There's very old saying,
"Think twice before you speak,"
Let every body try it
A couple times this week.
Now every time mean thing
Into your "noggins" pop,
If it's about old Rossford
Think twice, then smile, then stop.
This town is what we make it,
So please don't snarl and frown;
Just take your little hammers
And help build up the town;
Knocking" gets you sorrow,
Hurts many others too,
So boost bit tomorrow,
It's the one real thing to do.
Of course we cannot all be "Fords,"
Or even build like WATTS"
For they with cash and bricks an,
boards
Make homes on vacant lots.
But every person round here
Can smile, or nod their head,
For pleasant look will cheer,
Though not word is said.
Be sure to say "boosty" word
| When on friend you call;
IT'S better to "have loved and lost,
Than never loved at all"
And Rossford's one thing you can
lose,
It's here to stay, for life,
So make it just the place you'd choos
AS home, for child and wife.
/ think we all make some mistakes
AS through this life we pass;
One guy is friendly, your hand shake
One yells: "Keep off the grass!"
But dear old Rossford. Bless it!
Gives every one a chance,
So boost and then / guess it
Will help our town advance.
