THE THREE ELIGIBLE CAN
DIDATES FOR LOCAL p. Nj.

Who'll be the next stamp 'licker'
here is the question that has been
going the rounds since Tuesday
when the three eligible ones" re-
ceived their papers from the civil
service commission. AS we get it
the present postmaster Mr.. Gay
lord is the highest one on the list by
a number of points. The other two
are Mrs. Rosa Birch and Mr.. Joseph
Cowan. This being true the other
four who took the test are out of the
race for good, since the appoint
ment must be made from one of the
three certified. We never have made
any claims of being a prophet, and
we shall not even at this time make
a prediction as to who will land the
prize. We have never thought much
of Harding's p. o. civil service order,
but we must confess that here is a
case where it has by chance worked
out all .. K, since no matter which
one of the three on the eligible list
is our next p. M. patrons of the of
fee will continue to receive the same
good service we now have.

POPE BENEDICT xv DIES

Last Saturdays papers contained
a report of the death of Pope Bene-
dict XIV. His death, however, did
not occur until Sunday morning at
g O'Clock. 1t was due to pneumonia.
He holds a place in history as one of
the greatest of Popes, and will ever
be known as the Pope of the world
war. His death is universally la
mented. He served seven years, hav-
ing been crowned Sept. 6, one month
after the world war began, thus he
was Pope during the seven years of
world events, filled with sorrow and
care. He was born at Genoa, Italy,
Nov. 21, 1854. Concerning his wal
work we take the following from an
exchange:
"He successfully arranged the ex-
change of military prisoners; the re-
lease of non-combatants; provision
of hospital care for wounded and
sick soldiers in famous health re-
sorts in neutral countries; the de-
liverance from prison of fathers or
large families; the repatriation Of
soldiers suffering from tuberculo-
sis; the establishment and exten-
sion of postal communication be-
tween prisoners and their families;
the opening in the vatican itself of
bureau Of information for fami-
lies in search of missing soldiers;
the observance of Sunday by sol
diers as day of rest; the sus-
pension of hostilities for Christian
burial of/the dead on battlefields;
the limiting of bombardment by
aeroplanes to battle areas; the
communication of death sentence in
many instances; providing material
aid in food, clothing and funds to
starving babes and stricken fami-
lies; pleading for the widow, the
orphan and the aged victims of war,
In truth, it is hard to measure all
the war activities of the late pontifr.
All his official allocutions and
public ,rtterances have been the
very embodiment of the eternal
principles of right and justice, OF
peace and charity. His voice in
clarion tones thundered above the
din and roar of bomb and artillery
in protest against might as the sole
ruler of the world and against civil
and military authority that knew no
! interference, nor brook direction
when given for the sake of justice
and peace. He censured the nation
demanding absolute obedience from
the subject, when misguided author
lity itself refused obedience to the
eternal laws of God"

Small Blaze at sanatorium

This morning about $3.50 the fire
department made a run to the Rocky
Glen sanatorium, however the fire
had been extinguished before its ar
rival. The fire had started near the
chimney under the floor of the main
recreation poom, from an open flre
place, and it was easily put out as
soon as a hole was cut through the
flooring. All told the damage done
was very little--only few dollars.
The management of that institution
feel very grateful to the large num-
ber who responded to the fire call,
and for the fine spirit of helpfulness
shown.
This made the second call-twO
in succession that the new
fire truck has made a run to the
county, and enough of its useful
ness has been seen to satisfy all that
it is a very necessary piece Of ma
chinery. The big thing lacking now
is better, and quicker system Of
sounding a fire alarm.

NEWARK TEAM Pleased
WITH RECEPTION HERE

The Newark papers both gave
prominence to the basket ball game
here last Friday night, and feel that
Newark put another feather in her
can when their basket ball team
took our boys over. We take the
following from Saturdays Newark
Tribune:
"The Newark high school team
went to McConnelsville Friday even
ing and competed against the won
derfully fast high school team of
that place, and won the decision af-
ter hot struggle by the score of 23
to 18. The boys upon their return
are loud in their praise of the won
derful treatment accorded them by
the McConnelsville spectators and
the players, of whom the locals say
their hosts are good sportsmen and
although defeated acted in a manner
high-class and complimented them
for their ability as players and for
the, clean-cut methods employed in
playing the game. The crowd was
the largest that ever witnessed a
basket ball game in McConnelsville
and Malta the twin cities. Out OF
13 games played this season. McCon-
nelsville has lost but two-one TO
New Straitsville and the other to
Newark The game was fast and SO
exciting that the crowd was kept on
tip-toe of expectation throughout.
Wilson and Barrick were the bright
stars of the Newark team while
White made the best showing for
McConnelsville."

CLARENCE SMITH HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The residence of Clarence Smith
at the end of the Happy Hollow road
was destroyed by fire Wednesday
morning. 1t was first discovered
about 8 a. m. by neighbors-Ode
Cordray and Dale Smith. The fire
started between the floor. and for
sometime seemed to be under con-
troll, but the flames spread to the
rafters under the slate roof, and the
house could not be saved. Practi-
cally all the furniture on the first
floor was saved. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000 which we under
stand is well covered by insurance.
When the fire was first discovered
it could doubtless have been put out
by the chemical engine from this
place, and ii would have been there
on time had there not been delay
in getting communication here with
the fire department. AS 1t was. the
house was practically destroyed
when the engine arrived. However,
it did good work in saving adjoining
buildings. This makes the second
home of Mr.. Smith that has been
destroyed by fire. It is believed the
fire caught from defective iiue.
