CLAYTON ROTARY WINS
THE DISTRICT TROPHY

No longer will the people of Clay
ton be able TO lay claim to being
the smallest town in the world with
a Rotary Club President Rixey has
suggested that in view Of the fact
that the advantages of Clayton have
caused it to grow from a mere vii
lage into a thriving little city, that
the people now adopt instead Of the
smallest" "The Best town in the
world with a Rotary Club"
The little town of Tippecanoe City,
Ohio now claims to be the smallest
town in the world that is helped and
guided to better things by the spirit
of Rotary. With a population OF
only 2O83 they have established one
of the real live clubs of the Buckeye
state. Clayton, in relinquishing her
right to the title that rightly belongs
to another, has the consolation Of
having taken the 2ist district con-
ference by storm and carried off the
hOnors.

unsatisfactory.
Whether the Clayton club remains
in the 2ist district or the new con-

motto, and as the club has prospered
this year under the direction OF its
present board, so shall it 90 on in
the future. The statement has been
made to the News that every dele

advertisement for Clayton and Union
county, and the speeches of the
Clayton Rotarians and Rotaryanns
wre the equal of any given.

ATTENTION TAXPAYERS
Of TOWN OF CLAYTON

The proposed bond issue for 500
000OO for waterworks improvements,
upon which you will vote at the
coming election on April iih, has
heen put before you in the light of
safety and preventative measure.
You are aware of the fact that it is
only possible To vote bonds every
two years and at regular municipal
elections No special elections can
he called in this state for the pur-
pose of voting bonds. We are there
fore facing the necessity of voting
this issue now or waiting two years
before funds from this source can
be made available for necessary inn
provemcnts and extensions of our
present water plant.
Nobody conversant with actual
conditions and who has the welfare
of The community at heart will deny
The wisdom of placing this issue be-
fore the people now, so that they
may have funds available in case it
becomes necessary to do the work
so much needed to put our facilities
i'm shape TO give the people the best
service at the least cost.
Water waste is money waste, be-
cause money necessarily must be ex
pended in the colleoti0u, publication
and distribution of water and the
greater the water waste the greater
is the money waste in building larg-
pr dams and reservoirs, erecting big
ger filtration plants, effecting more
rhlorinaliOn. and installing larger
pumps and pipe lines than actually
are required.
The term water waste is applied
10 nOn-revenue producing water and
is caused by waste from leaks of
mains and services, house waste due
10 leaking plumbing fixtures. under
registration of meters, and the lille
gal use of wafer through fire lines
or other means.
The importance of preventing
water waste has been fOrCibly i'm
pressed upon water works officials,
duo to the recently increased pro-
duclion cost of water. Furthermore
since it costs as much tn produce
waste water or non-revenue pro-
ducing water, as it, does to produce
useful water. or revenue producing
water, you can readily see that wat
er waste being a money waste acts
as a continuous financial drain on
the resources of the water depart
ment
The proceeds from the sale of
the issue will be used for the fol-
lowing work:
New engine and generator
Cast Iron Pipe TO Replace
present wood main ------ 20000OC
Laying new main -------- t5,0O0M
Filtration Plant -------- 100000
Special attention is called TO the
last item of the above. namely the
filtration plant. In order TO supply
the citizens of this community with
clean. sanitary wafer supply it i;
necessary TO install a filtration
plant. The combination Of filtra-
lion and chlorination follows the
most approved plans of water sup
Dly. and is being used successfully
by many.Of the Largest cities all over
the country.

Lyceum Number viii
Be Wednesday Night
Peter Clark MacFarlane, Noted Jour
naliSt and Lecturer. Brings I'M
SpiratiOnaI and Humorous
Message.


The last number Of the High
Schools Lyceum Course, will be Civ
on in the High School auditorium
at 8 o'clock next Wednesday night.
April 5th. This number will he
lecture by Peter Clark Macfarlane,
one of the foremost lecturers and
journalists Of America. You have
read his stories in The Saturday
Evening Post, The American. and
other magazines, and now you have
the opportunity of hearing him The
admission for those without season
tickets will be fifty cents for adults
and twenty-five cents for students
Peter Clark Macfarlane is prob
ably the rarest combination Of in
spirational and humePqus iecturer
on the American platform today. You
laugh with him till tears are IN youi.
eyes and pains are in your dia-
phragn; then all at once you are
soaring 10 the clouds on the wings
of one of the inspirational passages
with which his lectures abound
One thing which makes his lecture
distinctive is that the laughs Of
which it is so prolific are not got
by the importation into it Of funny
anecdotes. They are hegotten Of
pure humor that crops up by way Of
comment or is inherent in the mar
raiive itself Nor is the laughter
merely sprinkled in. There is a nub
of humor in nearly every minute
nj the ninety he is accustomed TO
speak. The chuckles occasionally
break into ripples. and frequently
nipples sweep up into gales.
Tie has a story Of being sent to
interview o bear in Texas, which he
tells sometimes, that is al once a
classic and n scream. II is far fun
nier than Mark Twain's Jumping
Frog II is as funny while it lasts
as Frank r. Stockton's Casting
Away Of Mrs. Locks and Mrs. Ale
shines" And all the while the story
teller is adding vignette after Wig
nette 10 the album of American
characters which. in the end, he
binds up and presents TO his audi
tors.
But in the midst Of laughter comes
the tear. He has word-picture OF
Roosevelt in extremis IN the jun
giles Of South America obtained in
part from the Colonc's own lips
and in part from George Cherry ihe
naturalist, who accompanied him,
that is one of the most moving re-
citals of herOism ever heard from
a platform. This closeup Of Roose-
welt in what be thought was his dy-
ing hour, is exceedingly intimate
land personal, and yet recOunted with
the utmost delicacy and good taste
This bare narrative cuts into the
listening mind like an intagho, anc
lentirely unembellished, the vivid
facts constitute one OF the mos
blowing tributes which has eVeI
been offered 10 the memory of that
great man.

BEBECCA BOX SUPPER GIVES
AMUSEMENT TO BIG CROWD

The Rebccca lodge gave box sup
per on last Thursday night, which
was enjoyed by a very large crowd.
The only thing that was to be re-
grctted was that there were more
young ladies present than young
men, and therefore more boxes than
there were men to buy them. but
this was easily taken care of by
those present buying more than one
box. Some of the boys had as high
selling of the boxes. Prior to the
selling of the boxes a good program
was rendered and then the evening
concluded with dancing. Everyone
present enjoyed themselves to the
fullest extent, and a nice sum was
added to the Rebecca treasury.

necessarily mean large manufactur- CT who advertises his wares all over the country, because there are many smaller battery makers who haven't the distribution nor the advertising volume The battery business is one that must be studied in order to pro- duce a good unit at low cost. This study calls for constant experimental work in every branch of manufacture, and this is something the back al ley builders do not care to do.
 Once you possess a good battery the next thing to do is to give it the care it deserves. All you have to do it to add distilled water once each week in summer and once every two weeks in winter or at such intervals as found necessary to keep the cells filled to level. Aside from this simple proceed ure see to it that the terminals are clean and tight and the battery as unit is mounted solidly in place. If a white or green deposit appears on one of the terminals little or no current will flow into or out of the battery. Disconnect the terminal and scrape off the deposit, wipe the terminal dry and cover with light coat of grease or vaseline.
 Never add anything but distilled wa ter. There are some garages and even battery service stations that will try to sell you some special electrolyte to revive" the battery. These special solutions should not be used, for while it is perfectly possible to add chemi- calls temporarily to revive any battery it harms the battery in the end. If the battery is so far gone that it will not take a charge. special electrolyte will give it only temporary relief at great cost.

tion of the specie. All normal life, and most abnormalities relating to sex is based upon this primal feeling.
 With a woman, her relations to man whether conscious or unconscious, means the preservation of the species and the love of the man is really the love of the child born or unborn. To most women this is almost all of life. No other instincts, interests, feelings or customs stand against it.
 When it is interrupted, either direct ly through the child or indirectly through the male, it means to her an interruption of life. It means that the fundamental law of being is raised in protest Laws, customs, institutions, and even common kindness are of no effect to control conduct.
 Equality Impossible
 For those reasons equality of jus tice between the sexes is impossible. If men and women could be judged alike. it would ultimately mean the extinction of the human race. Human laws and human customs cannot undo the innate feelings and instincts which are the basis of life.
 If human institutions could be evolved where coplete justice would be meted out to all, then every person would be judged not only according to his actions, but according to the phy. sical and mental makeup of his ma chine and according to full considera tions of time and place.
 If this were done. probably no one would condemn another. There are very few women who commit murder who could be deterred from it or in any way influenced, no matter what the consequences might be.
 A general crusade, or a general feel ing in favor of visiting severe penal ties on women who slay, would simply result in sorrow, disgrace and misery to thousands of women and their fam. lilies without in any way changing the conditions of life.
 Not only is it unscientific and cruel to judge men and women alike, but it is really unjust to judge any two hu- man beings alike, and the safest way is not to judge at all.

Warns Motorists to Beware of Auto

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. - A warning against joining fraudulent automobile associations has been issued here by Fred Galley. secre- tary of the National Motorists As sCciation.
 The warning comes after atten- ton of the association officials had been called to the organization throughout the country of various societies" which were selling mem berships to automobile owner
 The men behind these alleged fraudulent societies open up an of flee in either state or national capi- tai and from it send circulars to motorist prospects. Their fees have ranged from $6 to $39.60.
 The inducement is an offer to furnish automobile accessories at from 20 to 30 per cent discount, free touring and other information and certificate or other identifi cation of membership in the socie- tN.

 A feeling of what is called chivalry has grown up as a consequence of this attitude Men are taught that they must give women many courte- sies and considerations which men do not give to each other.
 Every one with common experience knows that in every way, the law has been both made and administered to give women privileges which men could never claim. If man kills his wife he is almost sure to hang But wife can kill her husband and run little risk of punishment.
 If a man strikes his wife, he is a brute and no sentence is too severe But let a woman strike her husband or nag him, or make his life unbeara. ble, and the public applauds her con duct and says he deserves it.
 Sex As Cause
 Most all murders committed by women grow out of sex relations, whether in the family or outside. Is there any biological reason for this or would the indiscriminate hanging of women restore equality and prevent this class of murders?
 Nature seems interested mainly in the preservation of life, and in it's pre- servation women are the most import ant Both as to the bearing and rear ing of children, women necessarily take the responsibility and must take it.
 This is not only true of human life, but it is law that reaches all animal life as we'll

If you consider the cost of a battery and the work it has to do you will readily realize that it needs exactly the care that you give the engine.
 There are now on the market more than 100 different makes of storage percentage are virtually worthless when compared with topnotch batter ies made by responsible concerns. The worthless ones are sometimes called back alley batteries, because they are made in barns, garages and shops that have no recognition. It does not take any particular skill or experience to make such batteries. The plates are purchased from one source, -oXes, jars and erectrolyte from others, and so the parts are put together and the resultant called a storage battery.
 If the parts were properly made and correlated a good battery could be produced, but such a battery would then have to sell at such a stiff price as compared with the reputable makes that the alley builders could not com pete. So the motorist is asked to buy these put-together batteries at low price, sometimes at a high price. It does not matter much about the price, for the motorist 'gets stuck" either way.
 If you need battery, buy one made by a reputable firm. That does not

the battery up to charge. Some driv- CTS do little continuous driving with the result that the battery is under charged. Others do constant driving and little starting and stopping with the result that the battery is usually overcharged. It is difficult to antici- pate driving conditions therefore the wise owner occasionally has the bat tery charged at a service station. If possible go to a reputable station where the shop equipment is adequate and where an honest opinion will be given.
