"BUCKETED" INSURANCE
PREMIUMS, JURY FINDS

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Gustavus c.
Weber, thirty-one years old, an in
surance broker, was found guilty of
grand larceny in the first degree here
last night. Witnesses testified that
Weber while acting as insurance
broker for Cutting. Larson & Co.,
agents for the Oldsmobile Automobile
Company, "bucketed" 100000 in in
surance premiums on cars which had
been sold by the firm.
Evidence also indicated that more
than 100000 in insurance, which
purchasers believed had been issued
on their cars, never had been re-
corded by the three insurance COM
panies for whom Weber alleged he
was acting, and as a result certifi-
Gates of insurance which the auto
mobolistS carried were worthless.

WHITE TICKET
MEALS GIVEN
To 1858
First Month Of Gospel Mission
Plan a Success, Says
Or. Corey.

With the first month of the
white ticket project ended last
night, a well-trodden path has been
made to the doors of the Gospel
Mission by former street "pan.
handlers" statistics compiled by
the Rev. B. w. Cory, originator of
the plan, disclosed.
Prior to the ticket method, each
day brought mendicants to the
number of about thirty, who had
been unable to persuade anyone to
"shell out" a coin. If thirty meals
were served at the mission, 1t was
a busy day, DIR. Cory said. Every
day last month, however, more than
no meals were served free, the
total number being 1858, he said.
If the numbers increase as rapidly
as they have been in the last
month, then the walls Of the Mis-
sion are sure to burst, DR.. Cory
predicted.
Other activities Of the Mission
have increased about 400 per cent
in average, according to the records.
Positions for SO men were obtained:
1927 free beds were given; "
garments were given away; 10
men were sent to hospitals, SO
agreed ito accept some religion, !"
and 259 attended Sunday school.
A campaign to raise 100000 for
the work of the Mission will be
inaugurated at a luncheon to be
hello next Monday. The Rev. Cory
is now formulating plans which
will be introduced at the meeting.
Many of the city's prominent bust
ness men have accepted invitations
to attend. The drive will begin on

for this paper to have especial rep

pleasant events. However we al
ways want reports OF such, and we
hope that there will be some one at
each of them who win be delegated
to send us an account. In this way
many relatives scattered here and
there over the country can also to
certain extent enjoy these functions.
Because of so many being held we
will ask that all such reports be as
condensed as possible, without de-
stroying any of their news features.
To give lengthy detailed accounts
of some would take all our space
and would crowd out others entire

We have observed that practically
all of these gatherings are held to-

In order to insure reports of them

in our hands not later than Tuesday,
otherwise they may have to be car
ried over until the following week.

ANNOUNCEMENT STORY"
Ford Motor Company
Detroit, Mich.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 26.-Intro-
duction of a higher radiator, bring
ing new and improved body lines to
all types of Ford cars, is announc-
ed today by the Ford Motor Com
pany.
The changes have just gone into
effect and the various types are
now in production.
While the larger radiator has
been made standard on all types and
while it has made possible other
betterments in body design, there
is no radical departure in construc-
4ion, but rather a general improve
ment which has resulted in more
graceful lines.
The new radiator sets an inch
and a half higher than the former
and has an apron at the bottom
which joins a similar apron effect
of the fender on either side, giving
highly finished appearance to the
front of the car. The larger radia-
tor also increases cooling efficiency
Most conspicuous among the new
entirely new body design and con-
struction, resulting in more trim
exterior appearance, more comforta-
BILE seating arrangement and a
greater luggage carrying capacity.
From the dash there is graceful
sweep in the cowl to the radiator
bringing pleasing effect to the
front. The doors are wide and open
forward making access and exit
easy They are heavily framed for
rigidity and strength. The compart-
ment at the rear has been enlarged

COUNTY FAIR
TO SET A NEW RECORD

What is expected to be the biggest
and best fair in the history OF
Washington county will be on, be-
ginning Labor Day. Sept 3, and
lasting through four days, closing
on the evening of September s. Ev-
erything is being shaped for this
great festival of interest and enter
tainment that will mean four days
of JOY and pleasure to citizens or
Washington county and vicinity.
The fair board is offering the public
one of the best programs OF educa-
tion and entertainment ever pre-
sented at its county fair, and many
thousands of people will be on hand
to enjoy the promotion OF the best
interests Of agriculture and the me-
chanical arts, as we'll as to enjoy the
splendid entertainment features
which promise this year to be varied
enough to please all.
There will be unusually large
stock shows Of cattle that are sure
to win premiums wherever shown,
and with cooperation or the Wash
ington county breeders or hlgh
grade animals, the stock show will
be surpassed by none and equaled
by few of the fairs of the state. To
make this exhibit all the more show
worthy, large annex 30 by 60 feet
has been added to the large cattle
barn. New housing with two tiers
OF box stalls of ten each is also COM
pleted. Total money offered in the
different premium classes for live
stock is more than ever before, and
two fine silver cups given by the
First National bank of Marietta for
the best herd of Hereford cattle
and the best herd of Jerseys will
stand for close competition. A
grand display and parade of the
prize winning animals in the Bat
lie of the Breeds" will be held at
g.: 80 Wednesday afternoon, Sept. s.,
before spectators in the grandstand.
/ A special attraction will be the ex-
hibition in tent and parade of spe-
/ cial prize winning animals sent
here through the extension depart
ment of Ohio State University. The
three leading beef breeds of cattle,
consisting of Herefords, Durhams or
Short Horns, and Angus will be in
