Caught in Springfield-On the
evening of July %, 1921, James Dav-
id Stone, aged &c, of Carson City left
Wacousta with Miss Elma Bloom,
aged Is, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Bloom of that village. The
couple drove west in an old Ford
truck having a gravel box painted
green attached. Stone had been
boarding at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Bloom for several months, and
had won the confidence of the entire
family. His father and mother live
in Carson City also his wife and three
children whom he is said to have de-
serted
Sheriff John S. Barnes and Prose-
cutting Attorney Oliver Spaulding
have been making every effort to To-
cate them and finally found them liv-
ing as man and wife near Springfield,
Ohio. Sheriff Barnes Immediately
went to Ohio and brought them back.
Stone was lodged in the county Jail
while Miss Bloom was taken to her
parents in Wacousta. 1t is expected
that Stone will be turned over to the
Federal authorities to be held for
white slavery under the Mann Act,
which will mean a lengthy term in
Leavenworth prison.
Elsie Man Honored-When Gen.
John j. Pershing arrived back from
France to take part in the memorial
services over the body of the un-
known American soldier, to be held in
Washington on Armistice day, Nov.
IL, band of specially selected army
musicians, probably designated as
"Pershing's Own greeted him. In
this band, as assistant solo clarinet
player, was Staff Sergt. Wilfred +.
Vincent, formerly leader of the 63rd
Infantry band, and stationed at Madi-
son Barracks for the past two years,
until his transfer to Plattsburg this
! summer with the regiment. Staff
Sergt. Vincent is a resident of Elsie,
south Of here.
Haskins Sells Out-Another inn
portant change in the business life
Of Shepherd has been made, whereby
G. p. Taylor of Pickford, Mich, takes
over the business conducted by Mel
son Haskin.
Mr.. Haskin has been in business
there for about six years and ne feels
now that he has passed the allotted

Tax Rate Still Up-Nisions OF a
lower tax rate for the good people
Of st. Louis went glimmering when
the tax roll for the school district
was spread upon the 1921 list
amounting to s56,s00.00.
st. Louis has an assessed valuation
OF s2,744,4s1, and every tax payer
VIII pay his assessment upon tms
amount. The ways and means com
mittee fixed the budget at $5S,5O5.Vi
y which amount will take care OF the
running expenses of the city.
The rate will be S4.20 for every
hundred dollars of taxable property

tax, but the high figure is on the
school tax.
The city budget of SOS, 603.01 is not
high considering the improvements
that have been made, only S35, 100000
of this amount going for city expense.
The rate in st. Louis is much higher
than in Alma.
Invited to Attend Funeral. w.
Mentor, of Ovid, has received an in
vitation from the Secretary of War,
to attend as a guest of the nation, the
ceremonies incident to the burial of
an unknown American who was a
member Of the American Expedition
airy Forces, and who lost his life in
the World War. The funeral services
for the unknown hero will be held at
the capitol on Nov II, and interment
will be made in Arlington cemetery.
1t states in the invitation that if
Mr.. Mentor is able to attend he will
be one of the official mourners, who
will follow the procession. Expenses
to and from Washington were offered
by the government.
Mr.. Mentor will not be able to go
on account of his advanced age. He
received a congressional medal for
bravery during the Civil War and it
is probably due to this fact that he
received this invitation to be present
at the impressive ceremonies in hon
or of the heroes of the. World War.

Alexander Shook, widow of Milton
Shook, aged rs years, and pioneer
of Bethany township, died suddenly

The Captain called my attention to the army worms crossing the road Where they were crossing 1t was sandy and they could not get across the first rut we'll, so that the car killed lots of them. The Captain says he has seen 1t in the river bot toms where the wagons would mash so many of them in the ruts that they would make the ruts muddy.
 My object in going via Gross Roads was to see the kind of work done on the Wye road at Step Mountain. I found that a wide right of way had been cut and the road changed at the mountain so as to obtain a better grade. A beautiful job was done at the mountain. It being nicely graded as city street with a rock curbing at the edge and an occasional culvert. It was splendid job and the people are using it. They would have liked to have had more work done this year but the judge thinks that he has strained a point to do as much as he has. Judge Mover now has a force of hands working on the road from Gross Roads to the covered bridge and on towards Little Rock. The people in this neck of the woods high ly appreciate this work.

When they had left I missed my knife and told several of the cir cumstances without mentioning any names. l am sorry l misrepresented the boys though, for it appears that instead of stealing my knife they had just played practical joke on me.
