Dinner By Elks
A Big Success
Given in Honor of Charter
Members and Past
Exalted Rulers

The complimentary dinner given
the charter members and past eXalt-
ed rulers of Newark Lodge No. 391
B. P. o. E. Tuesday evening was at
tended by about $50 members of the
order and was a most enjoyable af-
fair. Previous to the banquet a
lodge session was held at which in
addition to other matters a number
of applications for membership were
received.
The dinner, under the direction
James N. Fitzsimmons and the
splendid committee of arrangements,
was perfect in it's appointments, and
the menu prepared by Col. "Billy"
Hohl could not have been improved
upon. During the banquet splendid
musical program was rendered by the
Golden Pheasant Orchestra of New
ark, now playing the season Buckeye
Lark Park. The B. & o. Quartette
gave several numbers, and Paul
Brown and members of his company,
now appearing in the city, favored
the guests with a number of selec-
tions. Ernest Wall, talented musi-
clan, formerly of Newark, but at
present located in Columbus, came
next with a delightful solo.
Toastmaster Harry Hale then intro
duced the guests, and on behalf of
the Art China Co. of Newark, pre-
sented the lodge with beautiful Ii
brary lamp specially designed by
John B. Lessell, superintendent of the
plant.
A number of visiting and local
members made splendid talks. the
principal speech of the evening being
given by Hon. John G. Price, former
attorney general of Ohio and Past
Grand Exalted Ruler Of the Elks. He
spoke eloquently of the great good
done by the Order of Elks, and of the
sacrifices made for the good of
brother members, and said he had
ample proof of the truth of his claims
during his term of office in 1924 and
1925, when he travelled $4,000 miles
by rail and 10000 by automobile, and
visited $50 cities and over 800 lodges
in his official capacity.
The speaker was given a rising
vote of thanks by his enthusiastic
hearers, after which the meeting ad-
jOurned.

THE PUBLIC TROUGH

The national Industrial con-
ference board recently announc-
ed that one out of every eleven
persons in the United States en-
gagged in work Of all kinds is
paid out of public funds. That
is to say that every ten persons
in private enterprise there is
one who is dependent in some
way upon the public.
The number of persons de-
pendent upon the public for a
living has increased approx
mately sixty per cent in twelve
years. 1t is estimated that the
amount Of money paid out for
this army of public dependents
is S4,30O,O00,0O0. If this vast
sum were distributed equally
among persons gainfully en-
ployed not holding public jobs,
it would amount to $125 per
person each year, and for every
man, woman and child in the
United States it would mean an
average of SAG a year.

We Are Too Careless

Accidents are happening ev-
cry day, about nine-tenths of
which could have been prevent
ed had we given the matter a
second thought before taking
snap judgment and acting upon
the impulse of the moment.
For a second time within a
comparatively recent period, the
truth of this statement is prov
en- by the sad death of a human
being at the hands of a friend,
through being mistaken for an
animal, should impress upon us
the truth of Davy Crockett's
we'll known motto-"Be sure
you're right then go ahead"
Reasonable carefulness would
greatly reduce accidental in
juries and deaths, and save
many of us from lifelong sorrow
and regret over the results of
our own thoughtlessness.

MORGAN IS WATCHFUL

Congressman Morgan, men,
Der of the Rivers and Harbor
Committee, has filed a minority
report favoring a canal from the
lakes to the sea by way of the
st. Lawrence which will enable
ocean going vessels to dock in
Cleveland, Lorain, Sandusky and
Toledo. He dissents from the
report of the majority, led by
Congressman Dempsey, of New
York, who wants a ship way
built across his state.
He also protested the diver
sion of water from Lake Michi-
gan at Chicago, in any amount
in excess of 1000 cubic feet per
second, and then only for the
benefit of navigation on the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers.
Chicago should build plants to
take care of sewerage, Morgan
declares.
Mr.. Morgan is never caught
mapping, and is always in favor
of those measures which are Of
the greatest Importance and ben
eft of the common everyday
people.

Brownies Comedians
Open Season Here

Paul Browns Comedians opened
the summer season under canvas at
the shoe factory grounds, corner West
Main and Eleventh streets, Monday
evening, with "The Fighting Parson,"
a rural comedy drama.
The company consists of nine peo-
pie, headed by Paul and Selma Brown.
All are exceptionally clever talented
actors. Dancing and vaudeville turns
are given between the acts, which
adds greatly to the attractiveness of
the program.
The merit of the performance de-
served and would undoubtedly have
been greeted with a capacity aud
ience, but for the unreasonable cool
weather.
Brownies Comedians may possibly
remain with US for a second week,
and with pleasant weather will sure
ly drawn big houses. At the conclu-
sion of the Newark engagement the
company will take the road for the
summer season, playing next at Cos
hoction for a week.

The Arrival of Spring

The arrival of Spring is known in
various parts of the country by sun
dry signs. At the present the peach
trees are blossomfng in Virginia, the
shad are running in Maryland, straw
berries are ripe in North Carolin, cy-
clones are out in Kansas, the temper
ature has struck ninety in Arizona
and out in Idaho they are preparing
ground for potatoes. But in New
York one knows that Spring has ar
rived by the first fish story of the
year. And peculiarly enough it
doesn't come from the United States.
This side of the world has been
beaten to the first bona fide fish
story by Norway. A dispatch from
Oslo tells that fisherman in that
vicinity on opening huge fish he
had caught found a very valuable dia-
mond ring. Taking the ring to the
police it was discovered that it was
similar to the one lost by an Amer
lean woman off the coast of Florida
several years ago. The American
consulate is alleged to be making eff
forts to get in touch with the reput-

"PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON

The New York presbytery,
recently in session in the Old
First Church, condemned "Pus-
syfoot" Johnson, the arch apos-
tie of prohibition, and his meth
DDS.
In a recent magazine article
"Pussyfoot" admitted that he
had to "lie, bribe and drink" in
order to "put across prohibition
in America" The Presbyterian
ministers adopted strong resolu-
tions condemning such methods.
Many of them admitted that
present conditions point to a
moral breakdown.

We Need EN-

Councilman Riggs fathered an
ordinance Monday night increas-
ing the police force from four
teen to nineteen members. 1t
was given one reading.
1t is generally conceded that
we are woefully shy on the cop
question, and that to properly
give police perfection with the
present force is an utter imposs-
ibility. Even with the proposed
increase the number of officers
would be small compared with
many other cities of the size of
Newark.

One-Way Stunt

The city council is still fid-
ding around with the one-way
traffic fool notion, which has
been condemned by the Mer-
chants Association and about
everyone else generally.
Monday night the ordinance
ordering this custom was read
the second time and no further
action taken.
If the city dads are going to
pass it in spite of public protest,
why didn't they suspend the
rules and so so? Of if they in
tend to kill the blamed thing,
the quicker they do so the bet
ter.

CurfeW to Ring

If the county commissioners
don't kick on the proposition of
using the court house bell as a
curfew it will shortly be used as
warning to all youngsters un-
der eighteen to break for home
at nine o'clock every night.
This was the substance of an
ordinance passed at last council
meeting, which instructed the
director of public safety to at
tend to that duty.
If this measure is wisely en-
forced it will undoubtedly result
in general good.

The display will occupy 12O,-

ed owner of the ring. 1t is all pass
ing strange. One wonders if the fish
swallowed the ring in the first place
or whether a little fish swallowed it
and was in turn devoured by a larg-
er fish and so on until the daddy fish
became jewel case for the time be-
ing. 1t is a little annoying to have
Oslo as the setting for this story. 1t
ranks with Americas finest. At any
rate the honor of seeing a gigantic
sea serpent this spring goes to Ca
madam. Then, too the drys in Wash
ington claim to be seeing things.
They assert this country's wetness is
only mirage.

swimmers be far ahead?
