EVIL REPORT

hold that Amos Aikenside is all
pure wool and three feet wide. I've
dealt with him for many moons and
got the worth of my doubloons. He's
sold me milk and melted ice, and al
lays at a decent price. Men say that
Amos must be watched; his moral
character is botched, and If he gets a
chance, they say, he'll bring his har-
poon into play. Ny neighbors some
times say, "Gadzooks, why patronize
that prince of crooks7" Perhaps the
truth has not been told; who knows
what grudges they may hold against
this Amos Aikenside, who sells fresh
henfruit, plain or fried? Perhaps their
hatred is bestowed because he asked
for what they owed; for many peo-
pies heads get sore when they lose
credit at the store. Perhaps they
hate this Amos jay because he doesn't
vote their way. A score of reasons
might be found why they rear up when
he's around, but while old Amos treats
me right l shall not say to him, Good
night" What others say about gent
does not impress me worth cent. so
long as he seems good and straight,
and gives full measure, honest
weight. OF worth man cannot be a
judge if he is moved by every grudge
that drooling gossips may expound,
with futile heat and empty sound.

It was a hot night and all the

Lovers were swearing eternal fidelity

at the stars. A policeman walked by
and a poor woman took sandwich
out of newspaper and began to eat
it. The fountain played on, and the
noise of the water was cooling. Sud-
denly shot rang out. A poor creature
had decided that it was not worth
while. He was dead when the ambu-
lance doctor came.

SHERIFF ILLUSTRATES
ESCAPE OF PRISONERS

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Sept b.
Sheriff Walter Peterson prevented
jail delivery of nine prisoners Mon
day when he discovered hacksaws in
cells. They had been used to cut iron
bars. some of which were already
severed. The prisoners were all lined
up and marched to cells upstairs
while repairs were made.
1t was due to the work of Sheriff
Peterson that the plot to escape was
frustrated. The officer, believing that
the prisoners were up to something,
made two Investigations before discov
ering the saws, so cleverly had the
men concealed evidences of their
work.

Generous support should be given to the
show which the Wayne County Breeders asso-

The effort of the association is accompanied
by an amount of hard work which will be re-
Quilted adequately if the public responds with a
generous attendance.
Only those who have helped make arrange
ments for an affair of this kind know the work
and worry that is involved in looking after all

Report Made by Surgeons.
The autopsy surgeons reported Of
ficially that Miss Rape died from the
effects of an internal rupture, adding
however, the fact that certain elements
of the girls physical condition might
have contributed to the tragedy. In
fact, DR.. William Ophuls. one of The

been due to natural causes, specifically
adding that he had found no external
indications of violence

Dr. L. E Rumwell. physician. who
attended Miss Rape for three days as
she lay in the hotel, said he first De-

coholism. Later he observed symptoms
of peritonitis whereupon he summoned
two other physicians, Drs. Rixford and

The Budget Plan

The economies which Gen. Dawes has sue
ceeded in making in government expenses will be
trivial in comparison with the appropriations
considered to be necessary by congress, reports
from Washington say.
The people believe that President Harding is
sincere in his desire to reduce the cost of govern
ment and has given Gen. Dawes free hand to get
results. 1t seems, however that members of
congress have as yet not learned to economic
and that little Roadway will be made as a result.
The suggestion has been made, and it is n
good one, that voters write to their representa-
tives in the national legislative body asking them
to cooperate with the executive branch on this
point.
