NEVER GREW UP TOWN SHOWS
 SIGNS LIFE

LITHOPOLIS, O., Feb. 8.-"The Lit tie Town That Never Grew Up,' Lith- opolis, isolated from the ordinary com merce of man, without gas or water, and so financially poor that 1t is ne cessary to pay for electric current by popular subscription, is bustling with new life and hope today. Its AGO citizens, who long have en- dured the scorn of their bigger neigh bor, Canal Winchester which has schools and other things, are preparing to return such disparagement in kind all because the simple appeal of their quiet village bridged the gap of years in the heart of one who played as a child in the leafy lanes that sur round it. Lithopolis is preparing for recognition, and a certain modicum of fame.
 The story centers around Mrs. Mabel Wagnalls-Jones, New York au- thor and musician, whose father, Adam w. Wagnalls, is head of New York publishing house. Her father and mother were born here and the latter is buried in the Lithopolis cem- etery.
 Mrs. Jones is presenting memorial library to the people of Lithopolis and Bloom Township. In addition, she may finance the erection If a high school, and has in mind other civic inn provements.
 With her husband, Richard J. Jones, she has completed a prelimi- nary survey for the library, which will be known as the Wagnalls Memorial Library; has purchased a tract of land on Columbus street here-the only street-and employed an architect. Present plans call for the dedicatory address to be made next fall by Edwin Markham. poet, a close friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
 In 1903, Mrs. Jones, then Mabel Wagnalls, was paying her annual sum- mer visit to Lithopolis. She had read a magazine story by o. Henry, and was struck with the beauty of it. She wrote to o. Henry's publishers, and the note was forwarded to him.
 Thus was started chain of corre- spondence between o. Henry and Mabel Wagnalls

FOUR MILLION VISIT FAMOUS
 BATTLEF

GETTYSBURG, Pa., Feb. S.-In- creasing interest in the historic bat tlefield at Gettysburg, where the de- cisive conflict of the Civil War was fought July 1, 2, and 8, 1863, has been developing among Americans since the World War, in the opinion of members of the Gettysburg Battle field Commission.
 Estimates, compiled in the com missions offices here, which place the number of visitors to the field in 1922 at more than 4,000,000, form the basis of this belief. These figures show an increase of approximately 100000 over the number who came here in 1921.
 For two years after the close of the European war the smallest crowd in twenty years visited the field, and it was thought the interest of Ameri- cans had been turned from their own historic spots to the battlegrounds of Europe The throngs that have toured the field in the last two years have dispelled this belief. Not since records have been kept by the guards here-excepting only in 1913, when the veterans of the North and South met together to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the battle-have there been as many visitors as last year.
 The commission estimates that SOO000 automobiles toured the 22 miles of Government highways which wind about the rolling field along Seminary Ridge and from Round Top to Culps Hill. Figures for 1919 and 1920 show approximately 1,50O,O00 persons came here each year.
 On July 4, last during the en- campment of United States Marines and while President Harding was here, the guards estimated there were 50,O00 persons on the field and the average Sunday during the summer brought 12,0OO sightseers. Automo- piles from every state in the Union were noted, among them motor buses bringing school children and mem bers of patriotic organizations from five adjoining states.

VIENA, Feb. S.-The comparatively few possessors of certain rare especi- mems of Austrian stamp issues, long since withdrawn from circulation, awakened the other morning to find that the postal administration had, in it's zeal to swell the revenue of the department, caused these obso- lete specimens to be reprinted and disposed of to postage stamp vendors.
 The result has been a flood of angry letters to the press, backed up by the energetic protest of the Philatelic Society. The postmaster, however, has not been deterred, and he is flooding the market with more resusticated old issues,

The cattle will be ranged near the post until such time as it is necessary to slaughter them.

Senator Fred Aver of Nome, speak ing at the dinner of the Alaska con- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce said mining operations now author ized or contemplated for the immedi- ate future mean the most substantial development of mining in the Seward Peninsula to date. MT. Aver said the Hammond Company has gone into mining on a big scale near Nome and that the results have been so satisfaC- tory that those who have previously been pessimistic about the gold min- ing possibilities in the Seward Penin- sula country are now optimistic that new building processes will bring back the Nome country. The committee en- dorsed the action of Ithe Seattle Fur Exchange which has a plan to grad ually bring about the sale of the Pribilof Island seal skins here rather than at St. Louis A. s. Kerry, chair man of the Committee, said the com mittee will work along lines desired by Alaskans, and appointed commit tees to handle specific problems. B. M. Behrens of Juneau, and John w. Troy, were guests.
