Sunday being an ideal day for a
Homecoming and reunion, about 200
people attended the homecoming at
West Liberty school grounds, west

Mr.. and Mrs. Will Harris Of En-
poria. Kan. When the crowd be-
gan coming, it proved a surprise as

drive in but Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Harris and daughters Della and Lu-
la of Marion. Ia, and Mr. and Mrs.
George Harris and children Mary,
Zada May and Edward of White
Pigeon, Mich. It sure was a day to
be remembered by all present. At
noon dinner was served cafeteria
style, and such dinner-every-
thing good to eat. Ice cream was
served in the afternoon.
Others present from distance
besides those mentioned, were Chas.
Parsons from Marion; Dr. Stanley
DoEgan from California; Mrs. Ella
NORM and children OF Newark; How
ard Hotchkiss and family of Mt.
Vernon; besides a number from Nc
Connelsville Malta, Stockport, Ring
gold and PennsvilIe. The after
noon was spent in renewing old
friendships, and with short talks
from the following: Will Harris
who left here 3 years ago, but who
has been back few times; Frank
Harris, Charles Parsons who left
Morgan county 40 years ago; Dr..
Stanley Dougan of California; Mrs.
3. s. Harris and son Harry of Malta,
and Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Dougan of
Pennsville. The former taught

money raised locally. But the mon-

this control TO be turned over en-

GlOuster LeoiOn B. B. Team

Our sister village Of Glouster has
a baseball team that is attracting
attention in the sport world, as evil
denced by the following which ap-
peared in the sport section of last
Sundays Columbus Dispatch:
Two months ago when Glouster
took over the Steubenville, Ohio,
franchise in the eastern Ohio league
many close followers Of the circuit
were of the opinion that the Legion
team would not be able to hold It's
own in this fast company. Not only
has it given a good account of itself,
but is making a strong bid for PEN
nant hOnors. One of the big reasons
for the success of the team is the
fine pitching of Hienie Mead, local
curve ball artist. The big boy has
been setting down the leaders with
regularity, and scouts from profes-
sional baseball clubs have been
looking him over. Three former
Glouster players, Pitcher San With
EN-, Gather Leo White and lntlelder
Pratt have recently been signed by
the Columbus Senators.

Dear Friends in America:-It
has been quite a while since l have
sent one of these form letters TO
you, the reason being that the
Foochow News has gone to the con-
tributors toward my work, and that
takes the place of the letter be-
cause most of the material in it is
prepared by me. Not only so, the
pressure of the two districts, their
churches and schools, the general
promotional and publicity work for
the ten districts o. our annual con-
ference, the co-editorship of the
China Christian Advocate. and the
helping of friends in eyangelistic
work on neighboring districts-all
these tend to keep nae fairly busy, so
that the preparation of form let
ter is almost last straw" But
here comes one.

President Coolidge has heard a
plan proposed by Henry S. Fire
stone, jr., whereby-if Mr.. Fire
stone is right-the United States
may be forever delivered from Great
Bntain's gouging in the matter of
rubber prices.
The United States consumes 70
per cent of the worlds total pro-
duction of rubber, but this country
produces only about 2 per cent of it.
The Firestone plan is to use land
in the Philippines to break Eng
lands monopoly. 1t is claimed that
one-tenth of the Philippine acreage
adaptable to the growing of rubber
would be sufficient to make the
United States independent of outside
rubber production.
Obstacles in the way of rubber de-
veIopment in the islands are neg
ligible, according to Mr.. FirestOne,
except the island law restricting de-
velopment of land for this purpose.
The existing law restricts the oper-

5 DAYS REMAIN
FOR PAYING
POLL TAX
Campbell Says Bexar Will
Lag Behind Unless
Rush Starts.

With but three days TO 20. 1926
poll tax payments are tagging behind
the 1925 record and unless a pheno
menal increase in the number of pay
ments is shown Saturday and Sunday
there will not be as many Bexar coun-
~ voters this year as last.
So County Tax Collector R. Neil
Campbell has sounded the call fol-
all qualified voters who have not done
so to crowd into his office at the
court house or the sub-stations and
paw for the right to vote.
Make us work these next three
days" Mr.. Campbell said. I'VE have a
large number of clerks on duty.
anxious to issue the receipts that will
permit citizens TO 20 10 the polls and
vote in the primaries in July, and
later in the elections. Put them TO
work. Come to my Office at the court
house, or TO one Of the sub-stations,
and make them write out poll tax re-
ceipts.
MAY FALL BEHIND.
IF great numbers of citizens do
not do this Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, we are likely TO fall behind
the 1925 record and will come far
short of the 10000 goal set for this
year.
