Nearly thirty-five years ago, a
brother, II, and a sister, IA, parted
when the youth, a strapping Irish
lad, went out in the world to fight
his own way.
Today, out at 11O3 S. Sheffield ST.,
a grandmother and a grandfather
are living over days gone by, each
trying to tell the other his or her
joy, each too overcome by their re-
union to say much.
They are Mrs.N Mary Annie Zim-
norman, As, of Cleveland,O., and
John Edward Ryan, 4S, of the Shelf
field st. address.
Mrs. Zimmerman lost track of her
brother II years ago.

away. 1 tried hard to find him, but
without success.
Last Sunday my husband and 1

my brother again. We drove through
almost every street in the city. 1
went to all the places where he used
to live.

couldn't help me. 1 was at my wits
end when a woman with whom I
talked suggested 1 broadcast an APP

Wednesday John found us at our
hotel.
II am not going to let him get

Ryan was equally emphatic that he
was not going to lose his sister again.
II came out here from Pittsburgh"
he said II worked a while, and L

great deal. / came back to Indian

picketing and showing the miners

were, said they were not armed

state police with stones and

any of their number started the
riot or that they had marched

the best of intentions.
Mrs. George Kubick, whose hus-
band worked at the Shamrock
mine near the Columbine, said
the strikers tried to enter the
COlumbine property merely for a
peaceful demonstration. She de-
clared that the shooting was "tOO
rapid" to come from pistols, in
timating that machine guns were
used by the state police. Earlier
testimony by the police denied
that machine guns were used.
Mrs. Kubick stated that the

CLEVELAND, Nov. % lPl--Decrying
the dwindling supply of country doc

100000 people in rural communities,
Harry A. Cation, master Of the Ohio
state grange, today placed q resolu-
ton to aid in reforming the present
system of medical education.
The grange decided to hold its 1928
convention in Washington by close
vote, after Denver had made strong
bid for the meeting
"There ave increasing hosts in rural
sections, who are medically helpless.
while the cost of medical service,
where it is to be had. mounts higher

ed in introducing his resolution asking
that the medical profession take some
steps to encourage young men to be-
come general practitioners. The
specialist who takes care OF about 10
per cent of all medical casfs, has
sounded the lsnell for the country doc
tor, and general practitioner Cation
said
young men, who are required to
spend seven years in college medical
work at an expense of from $4,000 to
$4,000, are not looking for an ordln-
ary practice, among ordinary people,
or for any practice in the country
There is demand for practical
medical - lrse to fit the general prac-
titioner for worthy service in his COM
munity,p Cation said.
James T. Phillips, state master OF
Missouri, attacked ''the undue domir1a-
ton of the federal farm loah board,
by the treasury department" in
resolution asking that the cooperative
features of the present farm loan sys-
tenn be- properly developed.
George r. Harrison state master of
California, asked the grange to renew
it's pledge to aid in all law enforce

quest for the creation of federal

Doty's mother has been i'll for

ceeding to Morocco to see some

region. He wrote to a friend in
Paris from Sidi Bel Abbcs recently,
expressing satisfaction at his re-
