The citizens of this community are
very much incensed over the recent
decision of the Board Of County Com
missioners in the controversy over the
Rock Lodge Road The decision, if
sustained, will increase the distance
between this village and Oakland ma
terially, thereby inconveniencing the
travelling public and entailing an I'M
necessary expenditure of time and
money each time the road is travers-
ed. However, the matter will be tax
en- to the higher courts which will af-
ford an opportunity of further testing
the legality of the decision of the
Commissioners.
There were a few errors in the ac-
count of the pursuit and capture of
the gang of robbers in this village
last Sunday night. The farmer who
was robbed of quantity of butter
and maple syrup was Gilbert Green,
who resides along the Grantsville road
about two miles north Of this village.
The outlaws, w. H. Berkholder, L. G.
Fidler and W. J. Fidler, were pursued
by a posse of men of the community
for distance of three or four miles,
during which chase several shots were
fired. The robbers at one time elud-
ed their pursuers, but three of them
were later caught in a field near the
village and were placed under arrest
by Policeman Leeman, of Grantsville,
who had been brought to the scene of
action by Ray Sechler, who had car
ried the alarm to Grantsville. The
men were taken without any war
rants having been issued and were
brought before the village magistrate
but were in such a state of intoXica-
ton that it was thought inadvisable
to attempt hearing of the case, and
hence the prisoners were committed
to the County Jail and the following
morning warrants were regularly is
sued and the case brought before JUS
tice of the Peace West, of Oakland,
with the result as stated in last
weeks issue of The Republican.
Merchant C. E. Ellithorp left his
home here last Thursday for Pres
ton, Minnesota, where he will visit
relatives for some weeks.
Sheriff Guy Yutzy, of Oakland, was
a pleasant visitor in this village one
day last week. The Sheriff was ac-
companied by his two children, who
thoroughly enjoyed trip through
this part of the county.
Mrs Anna Shaffer, who spent sew
eral weeks with her sister, Mrs. o. c.
Buckle, in this village, returned to
her Florida home on Thursday of last
week.
Jonas Schrock, life long resident
of the Amish Settlement, near here,
is reported as being on the sick list
this week.
Farmers of this section are in the
midst of oats harvest and the re-
ports seem to indicate a good crop Of
this staple.
Mr.. Curtis Bittinger, Of Akron, o.,
is visiting relatives here at this writ
ing.
Mrs. NJ. L. Getz and two daughters,
Misses Aubrey and Ruth, were guests
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. S.

Thief Takes Scientific
Data Sent to Museum

A scientific collection of data bear
ing on prehistoric man has been stolen
from a box shipped from Europe
through the port of New York, DR..
Ales Hrdlicka, anthropOlogist of the
New National museum, Smithsonian
Institution, has reported to govern
ment officials at Washington.
The scientist last summer collected
125 photographs of fossil bone depos-
Its from central Europe and various
souvenirs from England, Germany,
France, Australia and Croatia, which

shipped them in box, which, when

cause they loved to play they were
cooking. Over and over again MISS
Pugsley had to stop to drink a cup
OF tea. you'll have to hurry, my
baby wants me to take her out" her
hostess would say, serving that play
cup of tea with as much ceremony,
hospitality, and courtesy as II she nad
been her teachers own age.
Once the "Clef club" an organiza-
tion of negro musicians, came to give
a concert for the hospital. The next
day a little f~our-year-old picked out
a large round box and strummed a 1T
tie tune, In imitation of the musicians.
Then with suggestions and help from
everybody, they made him a banjo
from his box. Out of that experiment
grew the music store, with its phono-
graphs, cellos, banjos, drums n
pianos, all of the children's W max
ing.
With that success, the field Of in
terest again widened. New children
brought new ideas. A garage with
a dozen or more automobiles came into
being. The railroad station was
evolved after a day in which every
body had made trains. (They are so
easy to make from ether boxes.)
Next Peters arrival produced the
house-furnishing store with its in
Vulnerable clay dishes-for every child
loves to model with clay. They paint
ed the dishes and after they were
dry, shellacked them. When Tony
came-Tony, whose father sold fruit
they began their first fruit and vege-
table store. Shelving had to be put
in for the apples, oranges, bananas, po-
tatoes, squash, pumpkins, cabbage and
beets, all of which were modelled,
painted, shellacked and sold. Tony
received the orders over the telephone.
A church came next with beautiful col
ored windows, pews, and high altar;
then the post office, a florist shop, n
finally, that the children's little city
lack nothing, a hospital with Its little
group of a dozen beds. Says Miss
Pugsley:
But never since the first idea grew
into being have I heard the children
play Hospital They live in a little
village: they have their beds to make,
their washings to do. their dinners to
cook and their shops to tend, to say
nothing of their endless building and
~remodeling operations. Mail and de-
livery wagons. baby carriages-the
never-ceasing demand always creating
the supply.

been done and the houses were ready,
inside and out, the next problem was

Quantities of lace are being used
on festive frocks this season, and this
fact is quite as pronounced for youth

Girls "Pester" Athletes

At the Putney regatta In England
recently the police had to protect the
oarsmen OF the rival crews from en-
thusiastic girls who stormed their
dressing room after the race, asking
for autographs. A big policeman, how
v politely barred the way and told
the girls the crew was forbidden to
give any autographs this year. 1t is
understood the new rule was made to
prevent the men from being "~pestered''

The foregoing is the beginning of, an
article in the Woman's Home Com

children she Is writing about are little
crippled patients OF the Bellevue hos
pital In New York. 1t Is a touching
story. 1t is also a most Instructive
story, with a lesson in 1t for mothers,
nurses and teachers everywhere, no
matter whether the children are handi-
capped by h~eredity, sickness or en-
vironment or are normal and healthy
children in wholesome surroundings.
