Col. Hugh Smith, one of Union
City's Invest Lions, returned yesteF-
day from Nashville, where he had

next sixty days.
He also says the road to Lake
County, the road to the lake and
other roads will have their attention

Where the Peach Stones Were.

A 500-ton mountain of peach
stones was recently thrown upon
the New York local fuel market as q
substitute for coal. The stones were
gathered by patriotic Americans in
war time to be used in the manufac-
ture of gas masks. They found a
ready market at 81 ton and were
distributed to the needy.-Dearborn

The Lyceum Number.

There is no disposition on the part
of this paper to allow personal pref
erence to interfere with editorial
comments. 1t W lid be discreditable
to any paper. The sact is no well reg
ulated newspaper can have personal
preferences, no matter what the pri-
vate opinions of the writer are. The
Commercial has, however, been guilty
on several occasions OF remissness,
and this is particularly true in re-
gard to the lyceum course the ladies
have provided for us during the win
ter season. The course this season
has been exceptionally fine. The
large audiences have attested ap-
prevail in numbers as well as
the genuineness of the reception of
each attraction. The Redpath fur
nished the entertainment, and the
name Redpath-is a guarantee of
the most exclusive and the most gen
uine platform and stage talent, the
greatest achievements in art and
science. We presume the audience
was highly entertained with Mr..
We tkins as it was in the summer.
The Commercial has nothing to say
in justification of it's silence except
that sickness prevented representa-
ton from the office. Union City is
exceptionally fortunate in the fact
that she is able to afford both the
chautauqua full course and the win
ter lyceum talent.

ONCE GREAT INDOOR SPORT
Roller Skating Was at the Height Of
It's Popularity In This Country
In the eos.

The roller skate was patented In
France as early as 1919. Since that
time scarcely year has passed with.
out the recording of some improve.
ment, Plimpton's Improvement con.
sisted in so gearing two pairs Of
wheels that they would "cramp" when
the footplate was canted to either
side, and thus cause the skate to move
on curved line. Several years
elapsed before the value of this lnven.
tion was recognized generally. In the
meantime the inventor was busy max.
ing improvements and taking out 9th.
err patents and in 1874 had brought
the skate practically to its present
condition
The device Of 'cramping" the wheels
secured the initial success of roller
skating. The earlier inventions were
crude affairs compared with the mod
ern appliances. About 1864 the mania
for roller skating appeared in England.
Two years later the "rlnking" fever
broke out in Australia, and spread
thence to England and the United
States. Since that time the craze has
appeared Mt Intervals only to die out
again. flng 1881 ard 1esI tie spor

the men said:

and the hook has got a fast hold of 1t.

The rope was cut and the boat pro-
ceeded on its way. Nothing occurred
In the next half hour, except getting
on shore twice and on sand banks
three times. There was schooner
loaded with bricks coming up the riv-
er, and Mr.. Bowser ran his boat very
close to her to ask the price of bricks.
The captain threw one OF the missiles
at him and called him the biggest
fool on the river Then catboat,
which was sailing peacefully along,
and fearing neither man nor beast, got
a bump from the mOtorboat, and the
owner OF the cat said he would meet
Mr. Bowser some day and punch the
head of him. Mr.. Bowser made no
reply. His unalloyed was too great TO
be interfered with by scrap. He was
sworn Mt and abused by his guests,
but he was untroubled.
The boat finally reached what Mr..
Bowser believed was good fishing

the contrast Is one of the most lmpor-
the average man does not intend to
build more than one home during that
time and he wants, II possible, to
have home for his children when he
passes into the Great Beyond. In the
planning of this new home there are
many factors to be considered, but
the two important considerations are
durability and comfort. A home pos
sessing these two qualities is bound
10 prove successful. Too many home
builders have overlooked the basic
foundations of a real home In their
zeal to get something freakish and
different. They wanted show place,
and as result lost sight of the true
character of the home. A few years
later they have regretted their action
for the so-called show place was merely
shell, and soon became the worse for
wear and tear. 1t Is only logical
and sensible that the man of moderate
means should try to get the best

1t didn't please them. They wanted
to swim ashore or have the coastguard
take them ashore. but when Mr.. Bow
ser had caught his first fish they also
cast In their lines. 1t simply was good
fishing. The fish were running strong,
and they were to be caught at the
rate OF three q minute. In hauling in
d big one, one Of the men fell OVER
board, but he was rescued, and the
was anchored In the middle of ths
channel, and during the three hours
there five or six steamships passed up
and down. They whlstled for the mo-

did not move. Mr.. Bowser said 1t was

She did not seem to care when Jumps

racing along, kicked up such sea
that a barrel or two of water came
into the boat, but all the occupants
had to do was to elevate their feet.
Mr.. Bowser and his friends fished
for three hours. Then they counted
up, They had 76 fish of good
size. The other men told Mr.. Bowser
that If he would start the boat for
home they would give him their share
of the fish. He agreed to this and, by
sheer good luck, he got the boat started
and headed In the right direction. The
trip up the river was made without ac-
cldent. but II was by the grace Of
Providence that she did not run into
seven or eight crafts or go ashore to
pick blackberries. The boat was
