to three rooms She opened one-ob-
viously coat closet.
Another door opened into a room
lined with books-a small room with q
desk and winged chair by table. II
was probably the third room that con-
tanned the open fireplace. Marjorie
was about to close the door to proceed
ITO the third door, when something
some one moved.
1t was from behind the wings OF that
chair. A man rose, stretched himself
drowsily and rubbed his eyes. Obvious
ly II was the party" who occupied the
apartment.
Marjorie stammered something about
keys and janitors and open freplaces
and Cape Cod fre-lighters, though she
was sorry as soon as she had done so
that she had mentioned the lighter.
"It's quite all right" said the man,
"and Pm glad you woke me up. I'm
not usually home in the daytime, but
office, thinking I'd have quieter place
here-and I must have fallen to sleep.
If you want to see the room with the
fireplace, by all means have look"
and the man went on, now wide awake,
and ushered Marjorie into the next
room.

bought some wood, have it stored In
one Of the hall closets-but you can't
start fire with paper aud logs, and
there's no place to split wood in an
apartment. What do people do for
kindlings?-have to go out to the cor
ner store and buy it, / suppose"
"That's where Cape Cod fire-iighter
comes in," said Marjorie. And that
was the real beginning Of the romance.
The man, Dawson Hill, noticed then,
as Marjorie looked up at him, that she
had just the kind Of clear blue eyes
that he had always admired.
He wanted to see her again, and here
was a good chance. He asked whether
he might borrow the fire-lighter, and
before Marjorie had gone 1t had been
arranged that she and Grace should
bring the fire-lighter the first really
chilly evening and they'd try It. In the
meantime they'd buy the kerosene. and
in the meantime, too, Marjorie suggest

Mr.. Hill called the next night, and
the following night 1t seemed so chilly
that he rang the bell at Marjorie's
apartment and asked her IL she and
Miss Baldwin would not come and try
the firelighter.
This all happened about the middle
Of October. Two weeks later, on the
last day Of the month, Marjorie's aun,
received a package from her niece. II
contained Cape Cod fre-lighter, bu'
not the one she had sent.
A letter reached her the same day
"This is not the same fire-lighter," II
explained, because we want to keer

ALWAYS REMEMBER

While most of our readers are
familiar with the policy of this paper
regarding advertising, still there is
rarely week that we do not get ad-
vertising which the senders would
make appear as news-at least they
never. mention the cash. Please keep
in mind that any announcement
where an admission charge is made,
or where articles are to be sold, is
advertising, and we make charge
for same. Cards of thanks and reso-
lutions of respect are always pay
matter The former are soc; the lat
ter 81, cash with order Obituaries
where a complete sketch has already
been published, are 81. We hope
that our readers will make them
selves familiar with our advertising
terms in matters such as have been
referred to.

driver stated that he is not going to
cross railroad track this summer
until some member of the party gets
out and flags us across" The sub
ject of the cartoon was Say it with
brakes and save the flowers" 1t
was all so timely that the safety de-
partment of the B. & O. railroad
has had the cartoon reproduced on
post cards. and sent out widely.
We wish we had one of the car
toons to publish. Too much empna-
sis cannot be placed upon the i'm
portance of care in crossing rail-
roads. Deaths toll in such acci-
dents has been appalling. While all
railroad crossings are dangerous,
some are much more SO than others.
We have often thought that the
crossings between here and Zanes-
Vile are among the most dangerous
ones, since there are so many sharp
curves at or near the crossings.
Then again the roads are so rough
that they jar and rattle machines so
badly that the noise of an approach
ing train is practically lost in the
noise made by the auto.
Safety first" "stop, look and
listen" etc, are good slogans, so is
"Say it with brakes and save the
flowers"

everything bad providing it in
wolves me or mine).
Don't get the idea this paper re-
joices in publishing what is common
ly called "sensational' news such as
many city papers thrive ON. Such
news is never played up by us, and
none but the barest facts in such in
stances are related. We would a
thousand times rather publish some
thing good about an individual, than
something bad, and we wish that we
could WELD such an influence for
good that there would never be any,
thing other than good to publish.
1t is not our purpose to knock the
city papers coming here, we couldn't
get along very we'll without them.
They fill a certain place in Morgan

will, fill the same place as the home

THE HOME PAPER

Not infrequently have we been
asked to suppress certain news items
which have already appeared in ad-
joining county dailies which circu-
late here. We wish in this manner
to say that such is not our policy,
We have some people who do not
take a home county paper. They do
however take the daily papers and
will tell you that they get all the
home news worth while in them, and
have no use for their home paper.
of many of such opinion, and our OBJ
servation is that if these non-Sub-
scribers to their home papers have
particular piece of news that con-
Germs them-be that news good they
are always desirous of having it in
the home paper. Let a death take
place in their family, and such death
notice as appears in their outside
daily does not often satisfy them,
and they are only too anxious to
have a different one in the home pa
per. Then again, let some of their
family or kin be mixed up in some
thing of a questionable nature, even
though it may have appeared in
their dearly beloved outside daily,
they often rush to the local papers
to have it suppressed in them. Now
much as the class mentioned de-
sire to have their homo paper favor
them in matters referred to, some of
which they would not want pup
lished for the world" lest their
home people might see it, still they
draw the line at giving their
home paper any financial support
whatever, and are often its worst
knockers.
The difference briefly summed up
is that the city paper comes here as
sort of stranger, having no good of
the community at heart, but rather
inclined to knock it. 1t is entirely
devoid of a home spirit. Theirs is
simply financial matter from their
end of the line. On the other hand
the local paper is part of the home
life. 1t breathes a home spirit; it is
no stranger; ii is sort of an invisible
chain that binds a community to-
gether. 1t is supposed to boost
everything good, and to suppress

New Marriage Law i'm Ohio

Ohio girls between IS and 21
years of age who are contemplating
marriage with some one whom their
parents don't approve, will find the
course Of true love rougher after
July IS.
After that date, under a new law,
they'll have to have the consent of
both parents before they'll be able
legally to marry, if they haven't
reached 21.
Present law permits girl of 18 to
marry without the consent of her
parents. A man has to be 21 before
he can do so.
By the Mccoy act, passed by the
recent legislature and effective as
law July IS, the age is made Fl for
both :exes.
Change is also made in the pres
ent law in that under the Mccoy
act the consent of both parens is
required. Law now specifies that
males under 21 and females under
IS must have the consent OF their
fathers, or, in case of the death OF
the father, that Of the mother or
guardian.
The Mccoy act leaves the mar
riageable ages unchanged, IS for
males and Is for women. AS origin
ally introduced the age was made
IS for both sexes, but the bill was
amended before enactment.
Senator H. p. Mccoy, Youngs-
town, is the author of the new law.

LITTLE FOR THE FARMER

Senator Watson, Rep, of Indiana
recently returned to Washington af-
ter a tour of his own state, and in
formed the President that the farm
ers of his state are not satisfied
with their lot. To number of
newspaper correspondents he stated
among other things along the same
line, the following:
Il consider that the condition
among the farmers is the biggest
problem facing this country Sta
tistics show that 1000, 900 farmers
have left the fields in the last year.
This condition can not continue and
the country remain prosperous. In
my trips in Indiana I found many
farms deserted and hundreds of
good ones advertised for sale"
Nor did he indicate that prospects
were bright for improvement, but
stated "that before congress meets
I do not doubt that this economic
question will be upon us in greater
force" Conditions in Indiana are
little different, if any, from those in
other states.
1t is very plain that the farmers
have not been helped, neither have
they been hoodwinked by the Repub-
lican Robber tariff. They know
that far from benefting them. it has
simply exploited them for the en-
richment of the trusts and combines.
All summed up mighty little has the
farmer got from the tariff, but the
tariff has got a whole lot from the
farmer.
