The 14-year-old son Of the minister
of mines and natural resources Of the
Canadian Province Of Manitoba, de-
cided II days ago to be out and away
to see the world and the strange sights
in the States
With a single dollar In his pocket, he
left his Winnipeg home and until he
was located yesterday his family and
police, both of the Dominion and the
United States, had conducted a futile
search for him.
He was little tired, but still a little
proud Of his experiences as he said, a
bit proudly. he had covered more than
900 miles"

"I was walking most of the way.
had a dollar when I started out that
my father had given me for supplies at
art school. I decided wouldn't need
the dollar in school and just got the
notion to pull the hooks" he said.
II was homesick once on the road
while waiting for a ride that didn't
come for long while. No, I didn't
cry, but big lump came in my throat, "
he said.
Il slept in haystacks and open fields
most of the time. Only once did I
sleep in a town. That was in Sexton

His trip ended at Willoughby when .
motorist who had given him q lift bade
him good-by. Patrolman Robert Shepard
and Elmer Shultz found him, exhausted,
and took him to the jail, where he ad
mitted his identity.

His destination was New York he ex-
planned. Il intended to get q tramp
steamer for somewhere"
He was asked where he intended to
stop "Oh, anywhere" he answered
Il was just going to stay with the
ship"
The only trouble was that couldn't
added. ruefully II would have frozen
to death. But did manage to keep my
face and hands clean washing in res
taurants.
On the back Of roughly drawn
map was written a singular note which
disclosed one Of the lads Impressions.

From the open feld Of sand and

Alice Browning, nine years old, was
killed when struck by b. d y.
passenger train at Grove City, Satur-
day.
The child, who is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Glenn Browning, of Chilli

dent she was returning from the groc-
cry where she had gone on an errand

The Home Town
Fire Apparatus

The modern fire department has two
major goals-efficiency and the stand
ardization of apparatus.
This last demands intelligent selec-
ton of engines and equipment-selec-
ton which is not determined by orig
inal cost alone, but by the potential
danger of cheap, inferior apparatus.
The day when a town could buy a
truck, mount it wis hoses, pumps,
bells and what-not, and label the re-
suit fire engine, has definitely pass
ed. Too many towns have found, to
their sorrow, that apparatus of this
kind fails when it is most needed.
The making of fire apparatus is
fine art. Those who work in the
standard factories have given years to
learning their jobs. They have been
taught that there is no substitute for
quality; that cost is of secondary i'm
portance. The apparatus they produce
is uniformly capable of operating un-
der the most gruelling conditions
without loss in efficiency.
Standardization of fire efficiency
cuts down maintenance costs and la
Dor. 1t does away with the untried
and the inferior. 1t makes for greater
life and better service. Most import
ant, IS protects us and our property
against disaster.

A Real Investment

During a time when the general
public purchasing power has been far
below normal, life insurance sales
have held to a high level.
That is a good augury for the fu-
ture of the country. The kind Of
thrift that buys life insurance is the
kind that builds homes and factories,
and makes for stability in govern
ment, business and society.
A lot of us who went wild in the
boom years are coming down to earth.
We're realizing that when it comes to
investments nothing is superior to life
insurance. We've found that it pays
good solid dividends, protects both the
insured and his dependents against
the future, and is safe as anything
conceived by man. And we're acting
accordingly.

Building Against
Fire Is Good Plan

There is one book that belongs in
every city hall. That book is the
Building Code Recommended by the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers." 1t deserves the widest study by
those who make community fire laws.
The National Board is a fact-fnd-
ing organization. One Of its most i'm
portant duties is to attempt to lower
the national fire loss-a loss now to-
taling 10000 lives and property val
ued at about half billion dollars a
year. Its model building code is the
result of years of experience and in
Vestigation, backed up by statistics
and information covering fires, great
and small, in every city and town in
the land.
There is hardly a community with
out its row Of ancient fire traps which
should be razed at the earliest pos
sible time. There are thousands of
communities whose building codes,
while adequate for conditions of twen-
ty years ago, are grossly inadequate
today. Tremendous prograss has been
made in building practices, whether
for small homes or gigantic factories.
The least we can do is to take adj
vantage of the knowledge offered and
pass laws that will help outlaw fire.
An expensive building is not neces-
sarily safe one. Fire prevention is
not always matteer of spending
money. 1t requires only little
thought and the exercise of common
sense to reduce the high price we pay
for our ignorance and carelessness.

BEWARE OF :
POISON IVY :
+ + + + + 1. + + + + + + + + i

This warning has been repeated and
emphasized in Ohio Health News many
times, and undoubtedly will be repeat
ed and emphasized many times more;
but it is none the less essential, for
which reason health commissioners
are urged to give it as wide distribu-
ton as possible in their respective
Jurisdictions.
Now is the time to be on guard
against the three-leaved vine which
may be and often is encountered on
hikes into the woods, along the creeks,
or clinging to fences, walls and trees,
even in the back yard. Three leaves
in cluster spell danger! They iden-
tify POISON IVY, which causes the
burning, painful poison ivy rash when
ever its leaves or stems are crushed
or broken, and to which some persons
are so sensitive that even to go near
it causes infection. To pick or bruise
its whitish berries is virtual assur-
ance of being infected, and its essen
tial oil is so volatile and virulent that
even in winter, when the leaves are
dead and the sap has returned to the
ground, one who is susceptible is liable
to infection if he only passes through
the smoke of burning poison ivy.
Every poison ivy vine in the vicin-
ity of the home should be cut down to
the roots, which should then be liber-
ally salted or drenched with kerosene
to complete their destruction before
they gain full summer growth and
vigor. Gloves should be worn in this
work, and if one is susceptible, the
face and especially the eyes, should be
protected.

TBARES COST OF
| GOVERNMENT
Ohio Institute Gives Results OF
Investigation of Expense OF
Operating State, Local
Governments

State and local government cost the
people of Ohio about 500 million dol
lars a year, according to r. c. Atkin-
son of the Ohio Institute, who adds
that on the average, rural, local gov
ernment has been spending about $40
per person, or about $170 for every
family of average size.
Most of the money comes from
taxes, and property tax levles carry
the greater part of the load, he de-
clared in a recent talk presented as
part of the farm night program OF the
agricultural extension service at the
Ohio State university. This program
is broadcast every Monday night from
the state-owned radio station WEAO.
Taking the state as whole, Atkin-
son finds that property taxes provide
about two-thirds of the revenue OF
counties, five-sixths of the revenue OF
townships, and nine-tenths that OF
school districts. The only other inn
portant taxes are the gasoline and
motor vehicle license taxes, which us
ually are sufficient to cover the cost
of maintaining the county roads and
now provide a considerable part of the
township road money as well.
Out of every dollar spent by local
government in rural Ohio, he says a
little over half is spent by school dis
tricts, little more than a third by
counties, and the remainder by town
ships.
Education is the largest and most
costly function performed by local
Excluding expenditures
for new buildings and debt purposes,
it costs about 80 million dollars to OPP
crate the schools in SO county school
districts, which roughly correspond to
rural Ohio. This amounts to about SIT
per pupil enrolled in the schools.
In recent years, he asserts, high
ways have begun to rival schools in
the expenditure of public money. TAX
ing the state as whole, they consume
almost as much money as does educa-
ton, At present highway work rep
resents nearly half the cost of county
and most of township ex-
OF the $4,000 miles of
roads in Ohio, the state has charge of
the main thorofares comprising about
$4,000 miles, the counties have about
10000 miles of secondary roads, and
The remainder, some 44,000 miles, are
left to the townships.

A story of how the late Sara
Bernhardt, noted actress favored the
late Sam Davis, editor Of the Carson
City, New, Appeal, is told in a re-
cent issue of "The Front Page"
house organ Of the San Francisco

Instructed by the Examiner to
meet the actress in REQ and accom-
pany her to the coast, Davis made
such an impression that, on arrival,
she refused to have any contact with
other newspaper men.
When she was leaving she put hel
hands upon Davis shoulders, kissed
him on the cheek, and then squarely
upon the mouth, remarking as she
did so:

PAYING HONOR
TO ONES PARENTS
. f. f. + + f. 4. i. + + i. 4. + +

In 1904, John A. Johnson, the dem
ocratic nominee for governor in Min
nesota, was overwhelmingly elected.
His election was a public expression
of admiration for the man who honors
his parents.
Ten days before the election, a cir
cular had been widely distributed
stating that Mr.. Johnson's father had
been in the poorhouse and his mother
had been forced to take in washings,
thereby leaving the impression that
he had allowed his father to die a
pauper when he could have supported
him.
Immediate investigation of the facts
proved that the father was a Swedish
immigrant who had been put in the
poorhouse by friends of the family
because he would do nothing to sup
port his wife and children and that
young Johnson, then only ten years
old, had left school to go to work
that he might help to care for the
family.
At fourteen, he was his mothers
sole support, for she had become too
feeble to work. There was just time
enough before the election to inform
the voters how bravely he had dis
charged his duty as a small boy and
how he had overcome severe hard
ships by hard work and integrity Of
character The election returns gave
him the deserved reward.

JEFFERSON LEADS

West jefferson retaiHed their lead
in the Western League Sunday, when
they downed the Dublin A. c. in a
free hitting contest at Edgewater
Park by a score of % to 6. Every
player on the local squad hit safely at
least twice and Smith came through
with four in five tries, including a
home run and triple, while Clapsaddle,
who does the receiving work, hit a
triple and two singles in four efforts.
Merrick, Wilson and Wilcox each got
a double and Jim Wise came through
with three-base clout.
Lake started on the mound for the
visitors but gave way in the sixth to
Kaufman who finished the "round
town" game. Lake was in trouble ev-
cry inning and granted total of Is
hits. In the sixth round the going got
too tough and he was jerked.
Schmidt did the tossing for the Haz-
lett squad and with the exception of
the first inning, had things his own
way. Jefferson gained lead in the
first round when they plated five men
after Dublin had counted three in
their half. This advantage was add
I'd to during each stanza with the ex-
ception of the fourth and seventh. The
visitors were able to count but one
in the third, fifth and sixth frames.
