They tell a story of Pitcher George Winn's prowess in the box. The Cleve- land pitcher was called upon as a relief pitcher with the bases filled and none out when he was in the Coast League. He struck out the first two men and pulled an excellent piece of fielding to retire the third in order. Winn pitched for Hartford several years ago, being sent here by the Bos- ton Red Sox.

SEE AMERICA FIRST

IA MERIcANs are fussing about the excessive
81 charges that are made at foreign ports for
examination Of tpassports. A representative of an
automobile concern brought concrete evidence and
sound complaint when he exhibited his passport
and declared that It had cost him $500 in years
time forsy ises.
The charges are said to be made in retaliation for
what foreign countries consider exorbitant Wise
chang over here. It is all right, in the main,
Tor this kind of highway robbery to exist, even
thoughsit little rough on those who have to be
in Europe on legitimate business The present time
isnos time for gadding about. Europe would not toll
crate American tourists now II it were nottfor the
hope Of bleeding them. Europe needs the money
spdso IL puts up with the tourists and since this
Is matter Of common knowledge those who 20
over theteion pleasure jaunt need expect nothing
else and their protests should receive but scaut
sympathy
Because Of. the rich harvest which Europe hoped
70 REAP. as great front" was put on last year in
amusement lines and food specialties. 1t was
mostly in vain for only $4,000 American tourists
went over during the year instead of the 100000
which were expected. This speaks we'll for the
good sense Of 225,00o Americans 1t is best to
stay5atf home and look over the possibilities in the
United States for travel and amusement until
European conditions settle down.

In Uniontown, according to re-

Flu comes upon one like a thief

Flu is dreadful, but the psyche
logical effect OF the fear OF the
disease upon the so.far untouched
populace is even as dire. One will
be surprised to find how easy 1t 10
to work ones mind up to the poinl
where one may enjoy all the sensa-
tons OF the disease without hav.
ing been innoculated with the bug.
From personal experience, we are
willing to admit that we have had
the flu on an average OF two

tom for the last week.
It Is a gruellin gexperience, be.

for murder or making moonshine

the prohibition officers In advance.

SUGAR AND SPICE QUESTIONED

\KIHo would dream that there would come day
when little girls would have poorer deport-
nent cards than little boys. Sugar. and spice, and
ali is nice, grading lower than snarls, and
snails and puppy-dog's tails. which Mother Goose
tells us are the component elements OF little boys
and little girls. Yet the sad fact comes to light
that IN one of our ward schools the girls had a
lower conduct percentage than tho boys, and the
regrettul fact was made public.
What'sto do about this? Little girls and bigger
toe, are coming in for great heaps OF ceusure
these days. and it has reached point that par
entsgof male children are looking with comiserat-
ing expression upon parents of female children,
and saying with exasperatiug emphasis, "My. we
are glad that all Of ours are boys! 1t is an anxi

There has been little difficulty in bringing the
local milk supply up to the top notch in quality The
whole thing should have been done long ago, but
no one wanted to tackle the initial work which was
bound to meet with some objection. The city owes
a debt to the Kiwanis for bracing up and bringing
the thing TO an issue; they did receive loyal support
from the city officials and without such backing
they could not have progressed far but It is to the
courage Of this organization Of i've. progressive,
business men Of Fatrmont that the city owes its
pure, healhful up to the standard milk supply and
the citizens should remember and give the Kwanis
credit.

The housing of the automobile show. which will
be put on here from March 7th to 11th is becoming
more of problem as the number of cars to be
exhibited is steadily growing. Rather than crowd
one building unbearab1y 1t might be good idea to
use two of the largest available floor spaces with
entrance tickets bearing check for admission to
each. Even II tho two exhibits were to be few
squares apart, it would make no difference in tie
attendance, and cars could be shown to much better
advantage than il crowded into one floor space. One
draw back might be difficulty with the program, but

Claims People Seek

Declaring that the people Of to.

things Just us they did in the time
Of Capernaum and Nazareth, Rev.
Roscoe Murray delivered an eff.
fective sermon at the Palatine
Baptist church last night. A pic.
ture OF the growing rejection OF
Christ was given in the setting OF
the text, "Wtll We also go away?"
Rev. Murray told how some PEG.
pie crowd around wealthy man
who comes to church, giving a
less hearty welcome to the sinner
who Is a poorer man. This is dis.
loyalty" he said. 1.-THE crowds OF
To-Day are like those in that day;

At the close of the sermon a
warm plea was made for the 10y
alty necessary for the winning OF
souls without which Rev. Murray
said no Christian could secure his
full measure OF Joy from life.
There were many professions of
religion at the close Of the serv-
ices.
The. attendance last night was
good, and the song service excel
lent. One special feature Of the
song service was a solo by Mrs. R.
E. Hudgius. Think on Thy Way"
Tonight will be Owens night at
the Palatlne church. Employees OF
the Owens bottle works will attend
the services in u body and the
Owens orchestra will help furnish
the music. Seats will be reserved
for the Owen employees and a large
crowd is expected.
Following prayer service at
o'clock this evening, the meeting
will begin at 1880.
