he did not remember the man saying
anything particularly to him. --
Gets Guns, Then Faints.
He said he did not faint until after
he had secured the gun as the man
was leaving the store.
One wound in his arm was about

OVER $4,000 FOR
RELIEF IN WAYNE TWP

Poor relief for Wayne township dur
ing the past quarter has cost $2,266.50,
according to the report of ]. o. Edger-
ton, township trustee. This is said to
be the largest amount for relief in
any quarter for the year. and is said
to be due to a prevalence of unerl-
ployment in the city.
Thirty-one families were assisted.
The chief item of expense was s234.50
for burial. Reid Hospital was paid
S1S2.25. Coal and clothing also formed
large portions Of the expense.
Trustee E1gerton anticipates large
expenses in the next quarter because
Of the ruling of city coal dealers that
they would not deliver less than a
half ton of coal. This may lead to
extravaganza, the trustee thinks.

rope was assured by total contribu.
tions from Richmond and Wayne coun.
ty people as the subscriptions stood

on the edge of Palladium coupon,
''If You are unable to use these stamps
please return. 1t is all we have to
give now and we want to help the chill
dren." Needless to say, the stamps
were accepted and redeemed at their
face value by a member of the local
committee. The man is now credited

necessary to save the life Of one child

LACK PROSECUTION;
LENNARD RELEASED

Because of lack of prosecution, John
I. Lennard of Richmond, arraigned
before the Hamilton, O., city court
on a charge of receiving a stolen au
tomobile was released from custody
Friday morning and the case dis
missed.
Lennards release followed the an

SLACK WORK
IN ENGLAND
is SERIOUS
Unemployed Take Advantage
of Poor Laws-Are Deter
mined Not to Starve- In
creased Taxes Disastrous.
POLICE ARE OvERAWED
(By Associated Pressj

LONDON, Jan. 7.-Growing serious
ness OF the unemployment problem in
Great Britain was emphasized today
by the action Of the unemployed in
the city Of Norwich in availing them
selves of the provisions of the existing
poor law and demanding support from
the local guardians These are the
officials who administer relief to the
needy, charging the cost upon local
taxes. 2.
''The guardians" recently decided
not to increase the scale of relief
work in Norwich on, the ground that
the tax payers were unable to afford
1t, but the chief of police notified
them he had received a communica-
tion to the effect that if help was not
granted the uner> >loyed had determin-
ed to use direct action, he declared
the police did not desire any disturb
ance Of public order, and under this
threat the guardians" yielded and
doubled the taxes applicable to feed
ing the poor.
In doing so the chairman of the
guardians" remarked it was the first
time in the history of the city that
the police had been overawed by
threats from the unemployed.
Burden on Taxpayers.
The burden thus placed upon the
tax payers has caused dismay. The
additional taxes will result in house
holder who pays an annual rent of
$50, paying more than G72 in taxes
The people of Norwich declare it is
impossible for them to pay such
taxes, as trade is stagnant
The action of the unemployed at
Norwich accords with advice persist
emily given by labor leaders and fol-
lowed at many places, though with
less serious result than in Norwich.
The Daily Herald, mouth piece of Ia
Dor, says:
Taxes Disastrous.
There is no alternative. The un-
employed are determined not to starve
and they have proved that in the poor
law they have a weapon to enforce
Justice. The increased taxes will be
disastrous to thousands of people, but
.Will compel the adoption of radical
measures at Norwich, which has
shown the way to workers all over
the country"
Leading labor organizations yester-
day rejected an invitation from the
government to participate in an offic-
ial inquiry regarding unemployment,
objecting to the terms of the proposal.

BOLSHEvIK UPRISING
AVERTED IN GEORGIA
tBy Associated Press.)

RATUM, Jan. 7.Danger of a Boil
shivik uprising in the republic Of
Georgia has been averted, for a time
at least it is said by allied officers
here. The communist movement has
been stamped out it is said, and 1000
communists have been expelled from
the province of Koutais, north of this
city.
The Bolsheviki, for political reasons,
delayed their proposed attack on Geor-
gia, and the Tif1is government took
advantage of the chance to take pre-
cautions against internal strife.

collateral requirements of commercial
houses.
For their part the banks which have
loaned money to exporters that apply
to the corporation will have to pay a
higher rate of interest than the re-
discount rate of the federal reserve
bank in their district.
Many members of congress who
voted for the act and to pass it over
the presidents veto are aware of
these difficulties and, it is said, some
what skeptical of the practical effects
of the legislation. There are an equal
number of legislators who are con-
vinced that such difficulties as now
confront the corporation will be easily
overcome, especially after Mr.. Hous-
ton retires as secretary of the treas
ury.
There is no discounting the fact
that there was a popular demand for
the revival of the corporation, espe-
cially in the middle west, the west
and the south.
Maternity Measure.
Perhaps of all legislation now pend
ing before congress the American
women, as whole. are most interest
ed in the SheppardTowner maternity
bill. This measure passed the senate
without appreciable opposition, but
there are breakers ahead of it in the
house. Quite a few members of the
house look askance at that provision
of the bill which carries an appropria-
tion of $2,000,000 for the carrying out
of its provisions. The house has been
cutting all general appropriations to
the bone and frequently cutting away
some of the bone. Practically no ap-
preparations for new projects are be-
ing provided.

KENTUCKY CONCLAVE
IS SEEKING SOLUTION
OF TOBACCO MARKET
(By Associated Press)

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. Tobacco
growers, bankers and warehousemen
were meeting here today in an effort
to find solution of the situation in
central Kentucky created by failure of
tobacco buyers to offer prices salts
factory to the growers for the 1920
crop. Growers met at 10 o'clock this
morning, while the meeting of bankers
and warehousemen was set for the
afternoon
Delegates from every county in the
hurley tobacco belt, which is compos-
ed of central Kentucky and portions
of southern Indiana and Ohio. were
expected to attend the meeting of
growers. The call for the meeting
stated that a proposition to agree not
to plant tobacco in 1921 would be
voted upon and that efforts would be
made to work out a satisfactory plan
for selling the crop at satisfactory
prices.
Sales opened this week were dis
continued when prices offered ranged
only from 81 to $50 100 pounds, as
compared with prices three times as
high year ago. Prior to the meeting
of growers it was stated that an
effort would be made to adjourn the
session until night.
This was prompted by the fact that
the bankers and warehousemen would
not meet until the afternoon and no
arrangements for financing any move
ment by the growers could be made
until it was seen what financial ar.
rangements could be made.

"For Joy is the law Of the open road,
And glad are Its ways, it's laughter

Away with your town-wrought weary

And in this matter of gypsying, we've
got the gypsy beat to a frazzle. The
mileage that can be covered IL limited
only by the length of vacation time,
know Of one family last summer that
started from Philadelphia June ~ and
returned September II. They visited
Rocky Mountain. They climbed Pixies
Peak. They saw the petrified forest
on the way to Los Angeles over the
Santa Fe trail. From San Francisco
they went to the Yosemite, and thence
back home over the Lincoln highway
just about 10000 miles, camping al
ways, except when conditions were too
unfavorable.
Conditions in this year OF 1921 and
the prediction that It will be only a

lantic coast and make the round trip
to the Pacific on good roads and camp
ing by the roadside In comfort on pub
lie gronnd-national, state, county,
municipal and local parks. That Is
the keynote of the campaign begun
last summer at the national conference
on parks at Des Moines.
It is a shame to talk about making
money In connection with motor-gypsy-
ing and trout streams and snow-clad
peaks. but here goes; Suppose every
one Of these 100000 gypsies who Wis
tied the national parks scattered an
average Of 500 along his route. That
means 1O0,00O,O00 American dollars
kept at home and put In circulation
and business for ali sorts of people
along the road. Do little figuring
for yourself along this line, guessing
at the number Of motor-gypsies there
were In addition to those who visited
the national parks.
The best thing about all Is that the
people are beginning to get 1t through
their heads that the national parks be-
long to them. And they are begin
ming to use them. And maybe 1t isn't
a good thing for the people and coun-
tryI Maybe it doesn't make for ac-
