ChILLICOTHE, o., Oct. %.
When the Sciotio river took few
extra twists near Columbus, it start
ed, a real problem for he educational
heads of 4 county SO miles away.
The twists made possible the
squahd conditions in Tar Hollow,
north of here which health and
school authorities Of this county can
not break mp.
Because The river cut off part of
school district west of Columbus, the
state awarded the district the Tar
Hollow strip in this county, and be-
cause of this, Tar Hollow defies all
cleanup efforts and lives happily in
dirt, poverty and ignorance.
Tar Hollow, in a glen deep in the
hills of northeastern Ross county, is
five miles from a passable road It's
residents live in miserable shacks
and cabins, in dugouts and in Clean
to" sheds.
Many have never been out of the
Hollow in their lives-even to go to
Hollow in their lives-even to 90 10
Hallsville, village five miles away.
Like tribes, families live in squaid
nuts, hardly fit for cattle, say coun-
W officials. Marriage laws are dis
regarded, schc Of laws are flagrantly
repudiated. Raggedness and fifth
complete the picture officers paint.

AT 2YLANDER



At the Rylander the&ter on Tues
day night Wagenhals and Kemper
will present their sensational dra-
matte success, The Bat" by Mary
Roberts Rhinehart and Avery Hop
wood. Seats now on sale at the
Windsor Pharmacy.
With more than two years to its
credit in New York and a record of
a solid year in Chicago by another
company in the same attraction, "The
Bat stands out clearly as the one
great big success of all years. More
over, every bit of success that has
been its share, belongs to it right
fully.
"The Bat" is a dramatic thriller
seme critics have referred to it as
q dramatic smash" The appella-
ton is a good one. 1t is exactly
that Not only is it thrilling to the
point of keeping its audiences on
the edge of their chairs from begin
ming to end, but it is, moreover, ac-
tually one of the funniest plays
staged in years.
The humor of 1.-The Batn is more
of situations than of mere funny
lines. In the development of The
story, the authors have managed to
contrive situation after situation that
leaves the audience fairly breatnles5
from laughter. Were this to occur
in the ordinary play it would not
be 50 remarkable but in a play OF
the thrilling nature of "The Bat"
it is remarkable in the extreme.

went to Tar Hollow, found these con-

But they can do nothing.
Because the land belongs to a
school district in a county 50 miles
away, local authorities cannot force
these people to send their children
to Ross county schools.
Tar Hollow folks, squatters con
the land, became aware that the
work of county school and health
officers had been hampered some
way. Since then, they have fatty
refused either to send their children
to school or to clean up their I'M
sanitary habitations.
In desperation, the matter has
been put up to state officials. Some
contend it may be necessary to pass

HARDWOOD LUMBER
IN GREAT DEMAND
But There is Also Activity in
Pine lumber Which Would
Move Rapidly If Cars Could
Be Had.

Reports from all sections indicate
which has become SO severe that in
numerous instances lumber manufac
tmers are compelled to curtail oper
ations in the face of a strong demand
for their product and prices which
are satisfactory An increase in de-
mand for southern pine yard stock
has been noted and prices, are firm.
Thus, the one spot in the lumber
market which showed u tendency to-
ward softening prices is once more
firming up. This situation is held to
be partly the result Of an increase in
demand and partly traceable to the
sale of stock by those manufacturers
who are anxious to dispose OF 1t,
says the American Lumberman.
Industrial buying continues to be
active. In the softwood field the
railroads anr ear builders are pos
sibly the most active. A number of
large orders for railroad and car
material have recently been placed
particularly for Douglas fir producers
of the Pacific coast. in the hardwood
field the furniture manufacturers are
excellent customers, for they are en-
joying a good businss.
In fact, most of the furniture fac
tories today are booking up on bust
ness and behind in deliveries. 1t
naturally means that they are pur
chasing considerable quantities OF
hardwoods from both the North and
South and this is one reason why the
hardwood market remains so active
Sash and door manufacturers con
tinue to take large quantities of soft
woods and hardwoods and their sales
are not only Of such reasonable arti
cles as storm sash, but for sash ant
doors, which demand remains unus

thence up Newcastle to the Oglethorpe

were all enthusiastic and lively,
there was the very best sort of spirit
and nothing On the rough house or

Every know specie of the goblin,
the spaok and the witch was repre-
sented and one party, whose bright
particular star essayed the role of
the witches dance, won applause
and Il large crowd of followers ,all
the evening.
The general celebration brought
large crowd of people down to the

section was in holiday and festive
mood.

was more generally observed than
has been the case in many wears.
( Of course some of the maskers
got in little mischief now and then
and as a result automobile horns did
some extra blowing, few front
doors in the residential sections stray

did fow office signs, but on the
