as Clarksburg.
The improvements at John
Brooks beach at Worthington were
given the hearty approval of all
who inspected them. New bath
houses have been added and Mr..
Brooks states that he will make
more improve ments during the com.
ing week.
B. & o. trains and local traction
cars were kept busy all day, haul.
ing. the large crowds. Many per-
sons went to the Valley camps,
also, giving them what was prob
ably their largest population SO far
this year.
While little damage to. bathers
was done by the rain, it helped the
crops in this SECTION. Recent days
have been fair and windy, drying
out the ground to the extent that
corn and other crops have suffered.
For this reason, the rain is being
welcomed by the farmers.

Berton BraIey's Poem

OF the many folk who drive. the
majority will strive
To be mod erately careful as they
go;
1t. is more or les their code as
they spin along the road
To give other drivers something
of a show;
Now and then of course. you're
stuck by some driver of .
truck
Who will hog the road while
travelling in first;
But OF all the pests there on
the front seat OF car,
It's the chauffeur of a taxi who's
the worst!
He will pass you on the right and
it fills him with delight
When he mikes you execute 2
sudden swerve,
And his eyes with pleasure shine
when he crowds you out Of
e line,
oh he blocksyou when you want
to turn a curve;
And ne KNOWS u JOY uhi9OS "h0h
he hears your brake-bands
shrek
AS he shoots across the roadway
like flash
He's a most annoying bird and MS
risibles are stirred
When you lust escape involve
ment in smash!
Oh, he holds the rules in scorn.
and he never blows his horn.
And he loves to make yGNr tres
ses stand on end.
And he likes to bawl you out when
you're nervous and in
doubt
He is every drivers foe and no
mans friend.
So I'm waiting with thrill till
get such wondrous skill
I can beat him at his own
peculiar sport;
Then I'll somehow SO contriye that
he'll have to turn and drive
