good LINES, SERVICE
ASKED FOR ADVANCE
IN Telephone RATE

EATON, Ohio, May 15.-Voting
down a resolution embracing a pro-
posal that if the Eaton Telephone COM
pany would install a new switchboard
and fix up its lines the members of
the organization would agree to pay
the advanced rate, the ex-patrons' or
ganiZation of the telephone company in
q meeting here Saturday night modi-
fed the resolution in another proposal
that was adopted that if the company
would place it's lines in good condi-
tion and give good service the organ
iZation members would pay the adj
vanced rate.
The company has made no an
nouncement of its stand upon the pro-
posal. Recently the company agreed
to install a harmonic ringer system
and reinstall telephones free of charge.
the state public utilities commission
having approved the company's waiver
of installation charge. Two commit
tees working jointly to effect a settle
ment submitted the proposal accept,
ed by the company, but which was
rejected by the ex-patrons' organiza,
tion.
Proposal Voted Down
The proposal voted down Saturday
night by the ex-patrons' organization
read: That if the Eaton Telephone
company will put in a new switch,
board and put all lines in good shape
so as to give good service, and all
phones be installed free, the ex-pat
rons agree to pay the advanced rate
The proposal was signed and offered
by r. ]. Scheid, c. B. O'Hara, ]. W
O'Hara, ]. w. Sherer and Silas @
Buriff, as an organized committee.
The feeling of the meeting seemed
to be that the demand for a new
switchboard precluded all hope of
settlement.
A year ago the company raised its
rental rate from $1.50 to $1.75 a month
in the rural districts. Rural patrons
organized to oppose the advance anc
when the advanced rate went into eff
feet the organization members remov
ed their phones. Numerous attempt!

The George Washington Memorial

cestor's star. l am a great believer
in tradition, for it is only in the con
temptation of great and noble deeds
in the past that we are led to the same
in the present and the future"
Around the auditorium are to be a
great many rooms, all dedicated to pa
triotic and national uses. On the first
floor there will be smaller meeting
halls and two museums which will
contain collections of war trophies
and relics, documents, uniforms, guns
and souvenirs of famous men.
The second floor is to have a large
banquet hall where state banquets can
be held and distinguished statesmen
entertained. There will also be recep-
ton rooms and a long row of rooms
where patriotic societies will establish
permanent headquarters. Such or
CARNATIONS as the Colonial Danes.
! Sons of Veterans, and Daughters of
1S12sare to make use of these rooms,
and some societies have already set
aside funds to furnish and maintain
rooms here.
Above, on the third floor rooms are
to be reserved for each of the states
and territories, to be furnished by
them and used for state societies and
other state purposes. The fourth floor
is arranged in more offices for patri-
otto and national societies.
A Long Felt Need
The need for this type of public
buildings has long been apparent.
Members of the patriotic societies
come to Washington at times for IN
v%entions, to promote special legisla-
ton, to consult Government records,
and to use the fine genealogical col
lection at the Library of Congress.
But most of the societies have no
headquarters, no special place where
members can get information, or hold
meetings. Worst of all. Washington
lacks a suitable auditorium for meet
! ings of large, important bodies.
1t was because a patriotic building
was needed and because it seemed to
fulfill, in spirit at least, the almost
forgotten desire expressed in Wash
ington's will, that the George Wash,
ington Memorial took this form.
The first President had a long
cherished dream of a national univer-
sity to stimulate high ideals in the
youth of the land. In his last message
to Congress he urged that body to pro
mote institutions for the dissemina
ton of learning. In his will he said
he regretted that American students
should go to other countries to receive
higher learning and foreign ideas a.
!. an impressionable age when they
should be imbibing the principles O
patriotism. He expressed an arden
, wish that there should be founded !
!, national university free, as far a!
reasonable, from local attachment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Is. =
George Washington and the 100000
men who represented America in the
recent war are to be honored together
in a great memorial auditorium in
this city.
The project is called the George
Washington Memorial because it was
started "a years ago for the purpose
of carrying out one of the unfulfilled
provisions of Washington's will, The
war broke into the slowly developing
plans, and a%fterward the idea of the
double memorial took shape.
Now, plans are going rapidly for
ward. Congress has approved the
project and donated a site in a central
location where some of the temporary
Government offices stood during the
war. The corner stone was laid by
President Harding last November, a
few days after the Unknown Soldier
was honored in the Capital. Mrs.
Harding has been made honorary
president of the George Washington
Memorial association, and the $4,000
900 necessary to erect the building
is being raised among states and or
CARNATIONS. Governors of all the
states have Endorsed the plan, and
Tennessee has authorized a bond is
sue of 500, 900 as its share in the
fund. Construction work will begin
text year, it is hoped.
Plans for the memorial have been
| approved by the National Commission
on Fine Arts. A model stands in the
headquarters of the memorial asso,
citation. 1t shows a four story, square
building, so broad as to appear very
low set. The material, like most pub
lie buildings in Washington will be
white stone, and the usual Greek eff
feet of a coionnade of pillars is used
at the front and back.
The central feature of the building
is the large auditorium seating 1905
with suitable accommodations for ma
tional and international gatherings.
The lofty dome of this auditorium i;
to be the specific memorial to the sol
diers and sailors and marines of the
World war. Each man who fell in the
was is to be represented by a golt
star in the dome, and all others BY
blue stars. These 4,S00,000 stars ART

The dome of stars is expected t.
prove of increasing interest with tn
passing of time. In a speech at tn
corner stone ceremony, Admira

TWO SMALL FIRES GIVE
FIREMEN PRACTICE

The fire department was called out
Monday by a small blaze in the roof
of Roy Lowers residence on w. Cor
bett-av. The fire laddies made very
quick response and the fire was speed
lily extinguished, with but little dam
age done.
Tuesday forenoon, the department
was again called out and after run
ming all over the city looking for the
fire, going first to the west end of
the city, then to the south-side school
and finally to the new highschool,
found that the fire, small blaze un-
der the floor of Sam Deans barn, had
been put out. No damage was done
except the cost to the city of the fire
run, which however is a good invest
ment just as practice. The fire was
the usual sequel to the combination of
boys, matches and some inf1ammable
litter.

Children Rescued From ULiterncY
By sympathetic County Nurse

Through friends, the county nurse
heard of and became interested in
these children and it was through her
persuasive and tactful course that the
parents of the boys gave their consent
to have them taken to Janesville where
they could have the advantages of the
state school Though handicapped by
nature, they are mentally bright
enough and learned rapidly under ex-
pert instruction and promise to de-
velop into useful citizens. There are
three other children in the family
who are normal.
But for the circumstance that this
county has a sympathetic and capable
public nurse, these boys might never
have had the advantages which are
theirs by right.

NO INSURANCE
CARRIED ON MILL

On Rebuilding.-Third Fire Dis
aster For This
Firm

Hintz Bros. sawmill at Ingram was
totally destroyed by fire Monday
night, entailing loss estimated by F.
j. Hintz at $500. Included in this
loss were between four thousand and
five thousand railroad ties, mostly ce-
dar ties. The mill had been saving
lumber Monday, and while it is not
known how the fire started, it is sup
posed that it caught from the fire un-
der the boiler The principal product
of the mill was railroad ties This is
the second disaster of the kind in a few
months The Wilbert sawmill in In
gram was destroyed by fire last win
ter
The mill and the machinery were
uninsured, but it is believed that the
ties, which had been sold on contract
and which were supposed to have been
moved out of the yards a month ago,
were partially covered against loss.
The fire was discovered about mid
night by Frank Fecteau, who gave the
alarm. The people of the village re-
sponded promptly and performed good
work in saving surrounding property
with the meagre facilities at hand with
which to fight the fire. A large num-
ber of railroad ties were saved by hard
work. f. J. Hintz's face was badly
blistered in the work. The prOprie-
tors expressed their gratitude for the
hard work done in the attempt to save
the property, and especially commend
the efforts of the young women.
Hintz Bros plans for the future are
undecided. They would like to re-
build the mill, but could not say Tues
day night that they would be able to
do so. The firm is composed of f. J.
and c. T. Hintz. They formerly Op-
Grated mills at Rib Lake, where they
had two mills destroyed by fire. 1t
is possible that the boiler and engine
of the Ingram mill may be used again,
but it could not be determined def
nitely Tuesday night as the ruins
were still smouldering. A half dozen
large circular saws were among the
equipment ruined in the fire.
