grimage to the Battlefelds of the
World War" With it was presented
a beautiful scroll: ''In memory OF
the supreme sacrifice, we have the
honor to present to you this Gold
Star medallion symbolizing your
pilgrimage to the battlefields of the
World War" Besides this, on the
scroll was message each, from
President Doumergue, President
Hoover and General Pershing.
Other interesting souvenirs of her
trip, received by Mrs. Hale since
her arrival home, are three pic
lures sent her by Mr.. Ralph Flem-
ing, from New York. These are diff
ferent views of the steamer America
and passengers, taken from Pier No.
A at Hoboken, N. j., as the boat was
about to leave.
Every trip-hOwever great or in
teresting, has perhaps it's little
drawbacks and discomforts. Of the
latter was the rain and cold which
prevailed most of the time while the
pilgrims were abroad.

MRS. MARY POND CARPENTER
DIES IN LOS ANGELES

The following sketch of Mrs. N.
d. Carpenter, well remembered here
as Matte Pond, was furnished the
Democrat by Miss Effie Gregg:
The Misses Gregg received mes
sage Thursday night announcing the
death that evening of Mrs. N. D.
Carpenter, MARY l.. Pond), which
occurred at the California Lutheran
hospital, Los Angeles. This an
nouncement came as shock to rel
atives and friends, as only recently
had they become aware of the ser
ious decline in Mrs. Carpenters
health. 1t was known that some
months ago she had gone to hos
pital for observation and treatment,
and had returned home hopeful for
improvement. Last January her
cousin Mrs. Smith of Barnesville,
went to Los Angeles to be with her.
and by the middle of March it was
decided that she should return to
the hospital to build up her strength
and Mrs. Smith returned to Ohio
Her decline however became very
rapid and Mrs. Smith left again for
California on last Thursday evening
only to be recalled to her home by a
notification received enroute telling
her that the end had come. The fu-
neral services was held at Los An
geles last Saturday, and the re-
mains were then brought to Grand
mir Wy n
vice was held on Wednesday of this
week, Mrs. Smith and her daughter,
Mrs. c. E. Bradfield, going on from
Barnesville to attend this service.
An exceptionally large circle OF
friends are plunged into deepest
sorrow at he passing of Mrs. Car
penter. In this community all knew
her as Matte Pond, and no friend
knew her but to admire and love
her. She was a daughter of the
late Arthur Pond, at one time aud
itor of Morgan county, and prom
inent citizen, brother of Col. Fran
els B. Pond, Her mother, a very
lovely, cultured woman, died when
Matte was a little child, as did also
a little sister, and thus the father
the Col. Pond household, and there
she and her cousin, Mrs. Smith grew
up as sisters. She attended the NAL
ia schools and possessing a beau
tiful voice and decided musical tai
ent, under the urgent advice of
Prof. Arthur Mees of the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music she took a
musical course at the conservatory.
She afterwards conducted musical
convention in McConnelsville such
as Prof. Mees had conducted here.
and as many of the older musical
people of this community will recall.
This she did with great credit to
her ability. Later she taught music
in Ft. Wayne, Ind, and then went
to Wichita, Kan. There she decided
to fit herself for office and clerical
work. She possessed real apti-
tude for business life, keen busi-
ness understanding, and held re-
sponsible positions for several years
at st. Louis, Kansas City, and final
ly at Washington City, where she re-
NAMED until her marriage to Nor
man d. Carpenter, prominent busi-
ness man of Detroit, in January of
1914. With grace and ability she
presided in his beautiful home at
Detroit, and with loyalty and love
that had always characterized her
every friendship, so she embraced
the new friends in this home, and

At Gas Matter Hearing

Mayor E. D. Shafer, Councilmen
V. A. Van Horn and John Clark, DR..
j. B. Naylor, and John H. Witte of
McConnelsville-Ma Gas Co.. were
in Columbus Monday, before the
public utilities commission, when
the McConnelsville-Ma Gas Com
pany asked for a hearing on motion
regarding the raising of gas rates
here to soc net, with a minimum of
Use per month. Atty Eagleson, at
torney for the gas company, filed the
motion, in which he argued the
matter, and the commission allowed
the counsel for the villages times in
which to file reply. Atty c. c..
Crabbe who is the leading attorney
for the villages, was i'll and could
not be present, but was represented
Monday by Atty Leland Dougan OF
the same law firm. DR.. j. B. Naylor
was also granted the privilege of
making some remarks to the COM
mission, which he did in a very
forceful and capable manner, pre-
senting many facts on behalf of the
two towns, with which, it was ap-
parent, the commission was not ia
miliar.
The increase in rate, it is said, is
asked by the gas company partly to
recompense them for the expense of
the hearings in the matter of the
appeal of the gas company from an
ordinance of the villages to regulate
the price of gas; also that the pres
ent rate does not produce sufficient
return on the valuation of the gas
company's plant, as fixed by the pub
lie utilities commission, which is
1928, ,174.73. If the commission re-
fuses to grant hearing on the mo-
ton, the matter will be dropped and
the price remain as it is, unless 1t Is
appealed to the states supreme
court While on the other hand, il
hearing is granted, it will open the
way for the gas company to present
it's contention as to why the rate
should be increased to the amount
named. 1t will probably be couple
of weeks before the commission
passes on the matter as to whether
they will grant a hearing on the
motion, as asked for by the gas
company.

CENSUS REVEALS
122,729,615 IN u. S.
137,502,3O3 Is Grand Total
Population, including
Possessions.

BY the Associated Press.
The first complete preliminary census
figure today showed continental Unlted
States to number 1872, 729,6l5 lnnaol-
cantS.
Four months after enumeratorS en-
tered the field, Associated Press Bureaus
completed this first countrywide COM
pilation from official announcements OF
supervisors.
Outlying possessions add 14.772,6 S8,
making a grand total of 1877, 502,303.
Increase Is 17,01S.253.
The total population increase of the
48 States and the District OF Columbia
was 17,018,253.
The percentage of increase over the
last census was 16.1 per cent.
The two States topping the list in
numerical gain were: New YORK, WIN
an increase of 2,224,328 and California,
with an increase of 2,215,421.
Three others gained more than
million each: Michigan, las, 1853; Texas,
1,147,455, and Illinois, 1,145,003
Only one, Montana, showed decrease
"a loss of 1870 people in the 10 years.

The center of population" mythical
balance point, located near Whltehall.
Ind, in 1920, was pulled West and
South by the West Coast Increment.
Just how far, the census experts have
yet to figure out.
Census Clock Is Slow.
The census clock, that constantly
clicking electric calculator OF the coun-
try's population, maintained by the Cen
sus Bureau, was proven somewhat slow
by the first total returns. At midnight,
April 1, it said but 1872, 186,893.
BY the new totals, 20 States probably
will lose Representatives in Congress,
while 10 States will gain them. That's
another problem for the experts-reap-
portionment by the method of major
fractions.
The just completed census showed
this country to be more Gifted than
ever before.
In 1920 there were but SO cities of
more than 100000 inhabitants.
Now there are "a cities of more than
100000 inhabitants.
The cities numbering 10000 increased
from approximately TOO to about 900.
OF the many fact-finding phases Of
the census, only the population count is
complete. No Nationwide totals have
been compiled on unemployment, nor on
classification by racial groups, sex and
occupation.
