EARLY ORGANIZATION OF CENTERvILLE CLUB
MAKES WAYNE LEADER IN WOMAN'S S0CIET les

Wayne county is referred to by Pur-
due authorizes as one OF the leading
counties in the state in its woman
club organization. Much OF the credit
for this condition is due to the Center
vile Cemetery association, which,
started by pioneer women to provide
for protection of the graves in the
primitive clearings, became first gath
ering places and forums for the ex-
preston OF womens' opinions, and
from that, the foster parents of the
numerous Wayne county women's rur
al and suburban clubs, which recently
have been banded into a county fed
Grafton.
The following history of the associa
ton has been submitted by one of the
officials

pose Of retaining Crown Hill GENE

to which 1t had fallen. This group
/ had first secured the permission of
the town board TO do anything in their
| power, this provision being necessary
as the town owned the cemetery
! Previous to the organization of the
association. the grounds were moved
/ before Decoration Day only, in the
best possible manner considering the
presence of heaps, mounds, holes,
sunken graves, leaning and broken

! Emily King Anderson; vice president
Mrs Minnie Wright; secretary, Miss
Ada Hill German; treasurer, Mrs. AL
media Dunbar.
This board met with Mrs. Ella Dun
bar and with the aid of Mr.. Hart. an
, attorney. drafted a code of bylaws
which was adopted at the next meet
ing and is still in use by this associa
ton. The dues were made small, q
cents per year, so every woman fan
and near could belong and be a part
of this work
/ Name Executive Committee.

Of Mamades Sarah Gentry, Lizzie Dun
bar, Mary Trumbull, Bethany Lashley
and Miss Kate Frazier had charge o
all work. This body of women wa.

dent until death removed the frs

The first work done was to leve

tons Of money and labor made worI
active. George Moore was the frs
man hired and was caretaker for sew
eral years at 15c per hour

ROLLER SKATES USED
IN HOLLAND IN 1900

Early in the eighteenth century. the
good people of Holland were in the
habit of making hurried errands OF
skates, but on far more primitive
skates than are sold today. even by
the smallest shops. 1t was quite an
art TO navigate the Dutch skates OF
those daya--they were heavy and had
only Jwo wheels
The rest of Europe never thought
of using them until J. L. Plimpton a
New York inventor. took hold of the
idea. The first thing he did was to
put four wheels on each skate, Then
he invented rubber springs. and final.
Iy. in 1868 he put his innovation on
the market In such form that it immc-
diately became. popular and soon was
sold everywhere as one OF the fayorite
toys.

today take warning. If this debt is
not settled now, in time, instead of
pushing to present claim for back pay,
the effort may be made to revive the
extravagant, much abused, and unsat-
isfactory system of general service
pensions, which it has been the worthy
purpose of our War Risk Insurance
and our Compensation Acts to fore
stall and avoid. 1t is not only fair
and ius,, but it will be much more
economical in the long run to settle
the obligation now. We have provided
insurace, compensation, disqualification,
and training for our disabled veterans
We have provided aid for the depend
ents of our dead We have adjusted
the compensation of our war contrac-
tors to the tune of S3,0OO,OOO,OOO under
the Dent Act We have adjusted the
compensation of the railroads to the
extent of $500,000,000 We have settled
the war bills of the Shipping Board for
countless millions. There remains only
one more war debt to pay. If we pay
it now, | can not see that the soldiers
and sailors Except those suffering from
ailments incurred during the war; will
have any other claim that ought to be
recognized either now or in the future.
1t is to our interest to pay it now, and
as Washington said, one hundred and
forty wears ago of the bonus proposed
for the soldiers of Revolution; ut is
debt of honor which can not be can
celed until it is fairly discharged"
