To the surprise Of many and yet
pleasant news to all Mr. Thorn Rohr-
bough and Miss Dorothy Lee Jones
were married July 4th.

but from reliable sources. So quiet
was this wedding that more than two
weeks passed before the facts could
be gathered from even the suspicious
of a wedding. Any way they are
married, and all is well.
The groom is an industrious young
man of Belington who has the conf
dence and best wishes Of his many
friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
H. H. Jones on Brown Ave. She has
been connected with the Citizens Natl
Bank for several years as book-keeper
and has proven her efficiency by good
work for that institution.

Congratulations.

Two Arrests Sunday

Two young men who live near Phil
ippi, walked up Main Street Sunday
evening, having in their possession an
overdose of moonshine or other in
toxicating beverage and were using
profanity unfit for the devil to hear.
Chief Ruckman ordered them to cease
using it, but they seemed inclined not
to hear him. With the aid of night
policeman England, Ruckman took the
men to the county Jail where they
were given free lodging and break
fast and as dessert they were fined
by the. mayor, VIM. James.
Those who wish to get drunk and
disorderly will find the woods to be

The employees of R. S. Dayton &

day at noon, demanding an 8-hour in
stead of 10-hour day. The demand
was refused by the company and new
men were promptly employed to take
the place of the strikers. The work
was not delayed for moment as

FORMATION OF AN AMERICAN
LEGION POST IN BELINGTON.

Ex-Service men from Belington and
surrounding vicinity met on Thursday
evening July 10, 1921, in the
Monohan hall and organized a local
post of the American Legion. The
turnout exceeded all expectations,
and the following officers were elect
ed:
Post Commander--Grover D. Strother
e-Comr.-Porter D. Wilson
Finance Officer-Orion H. Gall.
Post Adutant-D. Merrel Gamer
Historian-Son Boner
Chaplain-to be elected later
Following the lection of officers the
name of the post was considered.
Afterdue consideration of all men
from this vicinity who were killed
in action, the post was named in honor
of the two first men who made the
supreme sacrifice. These men were
killed on July IS, 1918, in the Chaut-
eau Thiery drive, nearly three years
ago. The name Myers Channel, hon
oring the above mentioned men,, was
Kramer, Simmons, and Ice, in addlt-
ion the above men from this vicinity,
gave their lives in the World War, the
naming of the post was no easy task.
In fairness to allthe post was given
a double name, honoring the two first
men killed in action, which as we have
learned took place on the same day.
We hope that the naming of the post
will bring to the local post host of
enthusiastic supporters from this COM
munity.
An event of the future while pro-
misses to be the utmost Importance, is
the formation of the Woman's Aux
iliary of the American Legion. This
meeting will be called by the post
commander or by someone designated
by him. Those eligible for member
ship are the mothers, wives, daughters
and sisters of all men and women
eligible to belong to the legion. One
big advantage of those two organizat-
ion is that they cooperate for COM
munity betterment. Every woman
interested in this organization should
begin to boost at once, and soon the
auxiliary will be going in full force
and will be great asset to the COM
munity. Due notices will be given
for the meeting to perfect this organ
ization.
The next Legion meeting will be
Thursday evening at 7:15 o'clock July
20, 1921. Every one is urged to be
present and participate in the Legion
affairs. Remember this is your post,
and it is something that will be a
great benefit to you if you only take
advantage of it's privelages. Every
one, no matter if you are member
of another post, come out to the meet
ings and become imbibed with the
spiritof the ex-service men. HOW
ABOUT ENROLLING YOU AS A
MEMBER? WHY, SURE. Then see
Merrel Gamer and he will fix you up
in short notice. How about it, Ell?
Come on comrade.

close to the pin in his second.

and the coxswain, who were expected
to have another season of rowing.
Glendon will have to form an en-
tirely new varsity next year, and has
none the best material for the pur-
pose The third class is very deficient
in rowing material, and the present
fourth class, though doing better, is
not likely to furnish many oarsmen of
varsity caliber after but one season of
rowing.
Season to Open April 80
Glendon is devoting himself to the
crews which will open the season
against the University Of ylvania
here on April 30. Pennsylvania will
send four crews, according to present
information---its varsity, second, fresh
man and 150-pound crews. The Naval
Academy will enter spending
crews against the first three, but has
not developed 150-pound crew this
season, and will probably form third
crew.
With six of the varsity Of last year.

crew which won the worlds champion
ship, and with the two vacant places
filled at the beginning of the season.
Glendon has had to make no change in
his regular boating, and contemp plate

crew should be in fine condition for the
Pennsylvania race The boating is:
Bow, Lee; No. 2, Frawley; No. 8, Jor-
dan; No. a, Moore Captain; No. 5.
Sanborn; No. 6, Johnston; No. z. Gal

Lee and Frawley are the new men in
the boat, and they are both doing finely.
Frawley is an unusually powerful man,

last year.
Moore, captain of the crew, gradu-
ates in June, and will have a short
leave All of the other regulars and
most of the good substitutes are mem
bers of the second class, which will by
special order graduate next December
These men will be given short leave
after June 8, and they have voted that
they will forego it in order to take part
in the Poughkeepsie event.
Expects Record Season
The Naval Academy is looking for
ward to a highly interesting rowing
season. The races against the four
Pennsylvania crews will inaugurate it
in worthy way. and the next event will
be the races at Princeton against Har-
