LARGER FORCE
is REQUIRED
TO GUARD LAW
EXPERIENCE SHOWS STATE PO-
LICE SHOULD HAVE
MORE TROOPERS.

After nearly two years Of service,
the West Virginia State Police has
shown the scope OF the worl, for such
q constabulary force in West Virginia,
according to state officials who have
watched the progress made in organic
ing the constabulary and in enforcing
the laws
During the eighteen months which
ended December 81 last. the West
Virginia state Police made 3.549 ar.
rests. OF these 60 were for muyder.
for rape 81 for destruction OF prop
erty, 465 for gambling, 3S7 for moon.
shining, 425 for carrying conce Tod
weapons, 412 for bootleEging while
tho remainder comprised almost ev-
cry crime upon the statute books.
With t.is record, it is the conclu-
sion OF persons who are DESTROYS OF a
stricter enforcement of the laws that
the force has proved itself worthy OF
support and enlargement.
The fact that conditions in one sin.
gle southern county have required
nearly all OF the state Police force
to maintain order demonstrates that
the constabulary should be Of sufi-
cient numbers so that no such emer.
gency would call for the presence OF
90 large a proportion Of the force.
In other states where state Police
forces exist, there is a movement to
provide more adequate pay for the
officers and men Equal consideration
will be asked for the West Virginia
State Police

An Automobile Accident

Friday afternoon about FIVE o'clock
an automobile accident happened on
East Water street in front Of E. A.
Boe's restaurant. Sanford Grant of
the Grand Opera House Cafe was
driving west on Water street. John
Hegg, of Glenwood Twp, had been
in the Hoyt garage on business and
had his car parked in front of the
former Geo. z. Ode land Office across
the street. Another car was parked
on the opposite side of the street
and he stepped out in front Of it
and started across the street in a
diagonal way, when the Grant car
came along. Mr.. Grant footed his
horn and tried to turn out to pre-
vent striking Mr.. Hegg, but the
fender caught him, throwing him to
the pavement and the car passed over
him. Fortunately the wheels missed
him, which saved him from serious
injury. As it was Mr.. Hegg only
sustained few bruises and came out
unhurt, but his shirt and
trousers were ruined. MIR. Grant
stopped his car and took Mr.. Hegg
to doctors office, and after it
was found he wasn't injured, Mr.
Grant showed that his heart was in
the right place and went out and
purchased Mr.. Hegg new shirt and
trousers. 1t was one of those UNI
avoidable accidents, and Mr.. Grant
vas not to blame for it in the least.
AS it was all is well that ends well,
and both Mr. Grant and Mr.. Hegg
we're well pleased at the outcome.

Good Time at Picnic

The Congregational Sunday School
held their annual picnic Wednesday
afternoon at the w. F. Baker sum
mer home at Trout Run. A general
good time, the kind that goes with
all picnics, lots of good things to eat
and many means of enjoyment for
young and old was ~ the program.
During the afternoon the older folks
enjoyed croquet, while the younger
folks enjoyed bag swings, swimming,
ball games, etc. In the evening
there were races of all kiuls for
everyone and numerous forms of
contests. One of the bess amase-
ments, which the kidd;es enjoyed,
was being tossed in a blanket.

What Constitutes A Bushel?

"Thirty-two quarts make one
bushel," recites Young America glib
ly and positively But the house
wife who has purchased family sup
plies for years is not at all sure but
that this is~one of the many rules
that have their exceptions. Spe-
cialists of the bureau of markets,
United States department. of agri-
culture, say that the heaped bushel
varies w,ith the price of the PR.
duct and the weight bushel varies
widely in different states. A bushel
of sweet potatoes is as pounds in
the Dakotas and 60 pounds in Mary
land. A bushel of tomatoes is As
pounds in Oklahoma and go pounds
in Virginia. A bushel of unshelled
green peas is 20 pounds in Nassa-
chusetts and 56 pounds in Pennsyl-
vania. The bureau of markets re-
commends the adoption of the
"stuck" bushel---the Winchester
bushel of 2,15042 inches-as the unit
for package standards.

Death of George A. AxteIl.

Funeral services of George A. Ak
tell were held in the Methodist
Church Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Axtell was making temper
airy stay in DEBORAH while looking
after his work in Winneshiek County
as State Organizer of the Farmers
Equity Society. He was camping
with his family in a grove on the
Locust Road.
Early last week he was taken sick
and not yielding to efforts made for
him it was decided by his physician
to remove him to the hospital. But
all help failed and he died on We'd
nesday night.
Though not long acquainted about
DEBORAH Mr.. Axtell had made many
friends who, without exception, refer
to his geniality and sociability. The
sincerest sympathy of these friends
goes out to the striker widow and
children of the deceased in their
most sudden and unexpected loss,
away from home and the ministra-
tons of near relatives.
George A. Axtell was born at
Chatfield, Mimi, July 9th, 1873 and
died July 9th, 1921, aged as years
and rs days. He leaves to mourn
his loss, his widow, seven children,
an aged mother and a sister.
The remains were placed in the
vault at Phelps Cemetery to be re-
moved later to the family plot in
the cemetery of his home town in
Minnesota.
