their guests met in the Presbyter-
ian church Thursday, Jan. IA, to
celebrate for the seventh time the
memorable day when national pro-

us one of the greatest reforms Of
any age in any land. The 18th
amendment was ratified by the leg

amendment that ever was adopted.
The prohibition amendment be-
came a part of the fundamental law
of the country through a vote of
the majority of the people. which
is an important reason why it must
be observed.
The opening address was made
by Mrs. Mary E. Dye the leader of
the program. Voluntary prayers
were made by Mesdames Grove,
Douglas and Moore. Mrs Carrie
White had charge Of the music.

ConyenienceS Take Them To Cities
Doctors are leaving Ohio country
communities. Their number has
decreased one-third since 1914, ac-
cording to c. E. Lively, professor
of rural sociology at the Ohio State
University. There were 2407 doc
tors in Ohio rural communities and
villages of $500 population and less
II years ago. Last year only 1856
doctors were left TO serve these
places. The greatest loss has been
felt in the open country and in com
munities OF 500 and less Centers
with more than 1900 population
and less than $500 have suffered
least. Small places seldom have the
facilities necessary to permit a doe
tor to equip good office for his

NJ. a nj. DOUBLE SCORE
WITH MARIETTA JUNIORS


Marietta Junior High basketeers'
vision of an undefeated season.
went glimmering last Friday night
when they played M. & M. first
team here. The down river boys
had played four games this season,
with an unbroken line of victories,
but the Big Reds, under their splen-
did pilot Capt. Davis, were too much
for them, the locals doubling the
.score-20 to 10. Good as the fig
ures might indicate, however, the
Reds were not quite up to their high
standard, due to the fact that they
had played the hardest game of the
Company but two nights before.
Hayes for Marietta began the scor-
ing for the evening with a field,
soon after the game started. How
ever it was the only counter Mariet-
ta made in the first quarter, and M.
& M. did but little better, having
garnered but four points. In the
second period, the locals added to
their score six, and the M. Jr.'s
made but a single foul goal. In the
+h;rd o,,,r+or Mor;o++o narked nm a
bit, scoring five points, while M. &
M. added eight more to their score.

Alonzo G. Parks, prominent
farmer living two miles north of
here, had a very narrow escape from
instant death last week. He was in
the woods with his boys cutting
timber, when a limb fell and struck
him on the head cutting a severe
cash and rendering him uncon-
scious. There happened to be a
team of horses hitched to sled
handy and he was taken home and
medical aid summoned. 1t was
found that his ankle was also Sc
verely injured. At this writing his
condition is somewhat improved
and hopes are entertained for his
recovery, but his life still seems to
be in the balance.

derstood that it was going to be
kind of stunt night and as we
expected to have to stand on our
head, or "skin the cat or some
thing of the kind, we made sure of
our pants buttons, but instead, it
resolved itself into the playing of
games in which ali, both old and
young, took part. It was develop
ing into a rip-roaring time when

we consider the number of people
who are MANNED for life by these

a schooling to safeguard along
