tives were Lee Mott and family of
Philo; +. C. Wallace of Canton;

Virginia Johnson, daughter of

was born in Palmer township,
Washington county, o., Sept. 8,
1874, and died Nov. 10, 1923, at
the home of her niece Mrs. J. L.
Bachelor, at Stockport. She is sur

Van Meter and Mrs. F. R. Leggett,
her parents, two brothers and two
sisters having preceded her in
death. In her early years she
united with the M. E.. church at
Oakland, and though living at times
in other communities retained her
membership there until the end.
Her life, while quiet and unassum-
ing was made beautiful by deeds of
kindness, and though many of hyr
days were filled with illness and
pain, she bore it all bravely and
was always happy in the company
of young people and children of
whom she was so fond. Though her
absence leaves a vacancy that can
never be filled, and sorrow that is
pd n a 70 od
the knowledge that she is beyond
all suffering and care for 'He
giveth His beloved sleep" Short
services were conducted by Rev.
Jeffers from the home here Monday,

elor and son We're, Miss Goldie Lane,
Mrs. Clara Bailey and Delmer Med
ley left on the noon train, the body
being taken to the home of Mrs.
Fred Leggett at Waterford and af-
ter the services there was laid to
rest in Waterford cemetery. We
wish to express our great apprecia-
ton of the kindness shown us, and
to extend our sincere thanks to
each of those who gave us their aid
and sympathy during our recent
bereavement. - Mrs. S. R. Van

NJ. & Nj. High School Inspected

Mr.. George Norris of the state de-
partment of education inspected the
local high school yesterday. No
formal report has yet been made by
Mr.. Morris, but in special confer
ence with the teachers he stated
that he is making a very favorable
report. He further stated that M.
& M. is and has been for some time
considered by the state department
one of the very best if not the best
high school OF it's size IN the state.
His comments upon the quality of
teaching observed were very COM
plimentary. One recommendation
was made, viz: that the school Ii
blary which now meets the mini
mum requirements for school OF
this size receive special attention
with the view of materially increas-
ing the number of volumes.
The Parent Teachers association
recently ordered from the White
Front store a special school model
phonograph for rse in the music
department of the nigh school.
Work on the state music memory
contest is about to begin i'll real ear
nest. We feel that the next num-
Der Of the lyceum course, given by
the Cleveland Symphonic quintet
will be a very fitting opening of the
years campaign for better apprecia-
ton of good music. This concert,
program of which appears elsewhere
in this paper, will be a contribution
of real musical merit to the COM
munity--H. d. Bishop.

Haywood stated that the kuz-
has colony. with which he was
formerly exclusively connected is
now being completely reorganiz-
ed. One of the engineers of the
colony went to Germany to buy
the necessary machinery for a
factory for the by-products of
coal. Another went to America
to buy eight more tractors. With
the four tractors the colony pos
sesses 1000 acres which have
been ploughed, of which 200 acres
were sown with winter wheat
and the remaining 800 will be
sown in the spring.
Haywood says that applications
from colonists are coming to him
from all parts of the world and
that a big group are expected
here from the United States in
the spring.

Babe Threw a
Million Away
Admits That He Did
Wrong But Sheds
No Tears

New York, March 5-Seeing
the light, or what is more famil-
iarly known in the lingo Of the
set as getting wise to himself
has cost Babe Ruth a million
dollars.
He admits it, but he weeps not,
because ne realizes it is not too
late to see the well known light
and keep on seeing it.
Without going into details as
to how it went, the Babe frank
ly admits that if he didn't allow
a real million in cash to slip
through his hands wnen he was
a member of "the boys" he lost
opportunities to get pile of
coin that high.
The past winter brought a re-
markable change in the king OF
swat. He admits that for the
first time he began to think and
when ne got started at it, it was
almost painful.
Most anyone would get 4 mental
Jolt with rehearsals Of scenes
around a race track where 5000
900 was touched off and burnt

Giants.

says he is cured. Anyone who
knows the Babe knows that he
means what he says, when he
says he sis through"
1t seems as though Ruth is
one of those one in a thousand
for whom opportunity knocks
more than once. Perhaps it is
that opportunity is still knocking
at his door on its first trip. Any
way it is knocking this spring
again and it's a bet that it won't
be given the rush of air.
If Ruth has blown chances to
make a million, he still has the
chance to make a million. If he
comes back strong next season
he will be bigger and more SEN
sational than ever. There will
be the romance Of the man who
came back after being down and
those are real romances.
Will Ruth come back next sea-
son?
Major Bill Mcclellan, one of
the New York war correspond
ents" down south with the Babe,
a writer who has never hesitated
to pan Ruth when he needed it,
writes that bet that Ruth will
come back next year and break
a record is not a wager but an
investment.

Babe Ruth can think and he
has been thinking about his flu
ture. Having been such a bust
last season, perhaps the Swat
Kings mental apparatus was
geared 1up a little bit by the
thought that his future" was
very near.
Some other ball players, many
of them, might profit by some of
the same kinds OF thoughts that
have been running like this for
the Babe: "The only way a
ball player can make sure of get
ting all that is coming to him is
by keeping in condition, trying
