 IN 1926 REVIEWED Few Stirring Incidents Disturb
 Tranquility Of Life FIGHT FOR NURSE FEATURE 
East Bcrlinitc Brings Suit for $500 Against Ncighbor - Community Club Announces Speaker For An- nual Banquet-Church Items.

A review of local events for 1926 shows a quiet year. Aside from a brief flare of the brick strike which culminated in the blowing up of a dredging machine belonging to the Rerlin Brick Co.,, activities in that line were subdued. Politics ran smoothly and in the order expected, the one high light being the visiting nurse fight at the town meeting. The usual number of influential citizens were lost through death, probably the most telling being the passing away of Miss Adele D. Murray, Sam ucl A Hart and Henry Hooker. The road condition remains the same. with promises of better dawn in 1927. An itemized account of 1926 shows the following events:

NORMAL BUSINESS
DUE IN MIDWEST
COMING 3 MONTHS
Reports Given at Meeting of
Midwest Shippers Ad-
Visory Board.

Normal business conditions will
prevail in the Middle West territory
for the next three months, according
to the reports furnished by forty
four special committees represent
ing all the important lines of agri-
culture and industry, at the ninth
regular meeting of the Midwest
shippers advisory board, held in
Chicago, recently.
Substantial increases in business,
however, were reported by num-
Der Of important industries. For
petroleum and petroleum products,
Is per cent increase is anticipated
over the corresponding period last
year.
The brick and clay products in
dustry expects an increase of about
20 per cent over the second quarter
of 1925. For canned goods,
groceries and food products, a prob
able increase over 1925 was reported
in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin,

Iowa. The confectionery business
was reported as better than last
year and the wool trade is also good.
Some Decreases Expected
Continuation of the normal level
Of activity in the next three months
was reported by a number of indus
tries, among which were the cement
industry, the soap industry, the live
stock traffic and the traffic in acids
and chemicals, hides and leather,
and corn products.
Decreases in activities for the next
three months under the correspond
ing period of 1925 were reported for
some trades. The traffic in sand,
gravel and stone was forecast at
about IS per cent Of the correspond.
ing movement last year, the decrease
being due to the delay in road con.
struction work in Illinois. A falling
off in the waste material trade was
anticipated, as was also a seasonal
decline in the movement of grain
products.
Equipment in Excellent Condition

Records Show Women
Had Natural Horns

The Evil one is generally supposed
TO be provided with horns, but 1t comes
as surprise to find THAT cases or
horned men and women have been
Known.
A speaker ut a melting of the British
association stated thai the curious
formation Of the recently discovered
Galilee skuIl must have given its own-
er, during his lifetime, almost the ap-
pearance of being horned.
Quite recent times, however AFFORD
examples Of people who went farther
than this and did actually grow horns.
The most remarkable case was that OF
a Cheshire woman. who in the Sixteenth
century, made quite good living by
exhibiting herself as freak at Char-
ing Cross The first horn, long, slen-
der one, took 30 years to grow. 1t was
then shed, and in it's place came pairs
cast at irregular intervals ana IN
varlably regrown.
more recent example was Mrs
Allen, of whom engravings made III
the year 1890, showing single norm
are still in existence.

The Fircbug Investigation.

The city government, with County
Attorney Blaisdell present, held a
meeting last Wednesday evening to
investigate the rumors concerning
the origin of incendiary fires in Ellis
worth during the past few years.
The meeting was informal-too
much so. 1t should have been
closed meeting. 1t resolved itself
into a general discussion, with many
contradictory statements and some
hot words. In short, an old Ellis
worth offender, Dame Gossip, was
placed on trial, and made sorry
showing.
But the meeting was not without
results. Whether rightfully or
wrongfully, it focused suspicion as
to the origin of the fires, left the
impression that more than one is
responsible, and that an effort is be-
ing made to screen the guilty ones.
This disposition to let the thing
rest now, trusting the firebug may
have had sufficient scare, seems to
be shared by others. But the hre in
surance underwriters will not accept
any such solution. Ellsworth prop
erty-owners are even now paying,
and paying heavily, for community
Indifference in this matter; they Will
pay still more heavily if the matter
is allowed to drop where it is.
This indifference is not shared by
the right-minded citizens of Els
worth. They believe we should go
to the bottom of this thing now,
Those toward whom the finger OF
suspicion has been pointed, if in
nocent, should be foremost in de-
manding a thorough sitting of this
matter.
We understand that County AT
torney Blaisdell has not obtained
sufficient material to warrant bring
ing the matter before the grand
Jury. where witnesses can be com
PEELED to attend and to testify under
oath. That may come later, but the
people have the right to expect the
city government to redouble its Ell
forts to bring the guilty ones to
book and end the firebug menace
To do otherwise, to let the matter
drop where it is, would be to play
into the hands of those who would
temporize with crime.
