connected with the circulation de-
partment of the Columbus Citizen
the last five years, has accepted a
position with the Pittsburgh Press,
another Scripps-Howard publica-
ton, in their city circulation de-
partment, and began his work there
Monday of this week His new po-
sition comes as a fine promotion for
him, and brings with it a sub
stantial increase in salary over what
he has been getting with the other
paper. During the time of his con-
nection with the Columbus Citizen
he has worked not only in Frank
lin county, but in outside sections,
his work for the last year or SO

w. H. VANOSTER

At the election Tuesday of last
week, a former Morgan county boy,
Mr. w. H. Vanoster, was elected
mayor of Elyria, a city of 10000,
on the Democratic ticket. The city
is normally overwhelmingly Re,
publican, and Mr.. Vanoster is the
fourth Democrat to be elected mayor
osters father was the late VIM. H.
Vanoster, a Civil war soldier, and
his mother resides in Malta AS a
boy, Henry Vanoster was filled
with an ambition, and a determine
tion to make something worth
while Of himself. He applied him
self diligently and was a good pu-
pill. His early education was at
Harmony Hill, and the Borders
school district. He secured a GER
tifcate to teach school, and taught
for about two years, and then spent
year in the Oberlin School of
Commerce. Upon completing his
course at that school, in the year
1901, he was recommended to a po-
sition with the Fay Stocking Com
pany at Elyria, as bookkeeper and
stenographer In this position he
made good, and was advanced un-
til he was in the year 1926 made
president and general manager of
the company, and he is largely re-
sponsible for the success Of this in
stitution We might state that this
firm has the distinction of being
one of the few which during the re.
cent depression has not discharged
an employe or lowered their wages.
In speaking of Mr.. Vanoster's cleo
ton, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
refers to him as a prominent manu-
facturer.
In the election last week but one
other candidate on the Democratic
ticket was elected, and that was the
president of the council, by 81
votes. Mr.. Vanoster defeated his
opponent by more than 800 votes.
Mr.. Vanosters wife before mar
riage was Miss Grace Lyme of East
Windsor. They are the parents of
four children, Mrs. Evelyn Van.
oster Coleman, who resides in Chi
cago; Russell of Elyria, both of
whom hold college degrees; and
Misses Wilma and Merle Vanoster
who are in high school.

Gessels Negotiating For Mill

Ine cleveland Plain Dealer of
Wednesday carried an item which
states that the Gessel Milling Co. of
this place has purchased a large
feed mill at Shelby. 1t states that
the mill was built at a cost of $780,
600, and has a capacity of 125 bar
rels per day. 1t is said that it's ell
evator holds 175,OOO bushels of
grain. Getting IN touch with the
Gessels here, we learn that as yet
they have not completed the deal
but are negotiating for it. It is
stated that this mill before it was
fully completed went into the hands
of receiver, and was taken over
by bank, and the local parties
have made a bid to the bank for the
property. If the sale is made,
which seems probable, the Gessels
will continue their business here as
at present.

Atty Graham At NJ. f.. Church

A good sized crowd was present
at the Methodist Episcopal church
here Sunday evening, to enjoy the
Armistice day program. Judge
Clarence Graham of GAINESVILLE was
the speaker, and he delivered a
most forceful, logical address on
Permanent Peace" Atty Graham
is a World war veteran, having
served overseas. He reminded his
hearers that last year the United
States spent on arms more than any
other nation in the world-$707,-
425.OOO. This vast sum does not
include pensions, or hospitals for
soldiers, and such, but for actual
war purposes-battle ships, cost Of
standing army airplanes, dirigibles,
etc. The speaker believes that if
wealth were drafted the same as
man power, in war time, there
would not be so many wars. He
said that if those delegates from the
big Powers who attend peace con-
ferences, had the spirit of the moth
ers who kneel beside the graves of
their sons, we would have perma
nent peace. Atty Graham stated
that he is opposed to war debt can
collation., unless those nations seek
ing cancellation, disarm He was
given rapt attention. Preceding the
address was a pantomime: ''Thc
Healing Light in which number
took part.
A special musical number was the
anthem Far From My Heavenly
Home" by Huerter. For the pre-
lude, Mrs. G.. w. Lowell played
Largo from the new world sym
phony, by Dvorak.

CHICAGO PROGRESS
IS GREAT IN DECADE
Three Billion Dollars Spent
Modernizing and Beautify-
ing Metropolis.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 30.-Bombs and
bullets shot Chicago's name into first
page headlines the last decade. but, the
city would have the world know, all
the shooting was just a noisome Incl
dent.
Commerce Increased.
While gangsterS slaughtered each
other for territorial rights" the city
went about its business, increasing its
commerce and industry and spending
more than $3,000,000,000 since 1920 to
modernize and beautify itself.
The towering skycrapers" of the
teens-the pride of their time-are
dwarfed today by peaks of masonry and
steel soaring so stories skyward. Scores
of millions have been spent in the Loop
alone, but the former strange hold of
the Loop on Chicago's business district
has been broken.
Largest Building Outside Loop.
Outside the steel band of the down.
town elevated railroad Loop have risen
the 100000 Merchandise Mart, the
space; the Furniture Mart, the worlds
second largest building; the Stevens
Hotel, the largest hosiery; the $780,
100000 Union Station; the Chicago
Stadium, seating $4,000 persons; the
Palmolive Building, surmounted by the
worlds most powerful aerial beacon;
the Tribune Tower and the towering
Chicago Civic Opera and Chicago Daily
News Buildings.
Amazing changes also have been
wrought in the outlying districts Dozens
of skyScraper hotels and apartments
tower above old homes and busting
business districts have appeared where
less than 20 years ago there was only
swampland and prairie.

OF Children Scored
By Noted Educator

PHILADELPHIA, January 3d.
The modern parent who court
martialS" his children when they
stay out late at night was de-
nounced yesterday by DIR. Garry
Cleveland Myers, director of the
department of parental education
of Western Reserve University.
He spoke at Logan Hall, Univer-
Sity of Pennsylvania.
Youngsters will not make con-
fidantes of parents who take the
attitude of a district attorney or
judge toward them, the speaker
asserted. He made a plea for
less interference by the parent
with the child, stating that chill
dren should not be externally be-
Titled" but should be regarded
as they wish to be regarded-as
groWn-ups.
1T is all wrong to try to make
our children be witnesses against
themselves" DR.. Myers said. You
can hold court with your children
on trial if you want to. But I'M
less they are feeble-minded,
they'll learn what to say. You are
going to lose their confidence en-
tirely by any such procedure"
