payers, it was pointed out that they
are not only doing their service
gratis, but oftentimes pay for their
own transportation, and when they
do not pay for it, it is met by cer-
tain clubs or organizations. Those
of the speakers who had visited CO.
lumbus and Washington, spoke of
the interest of Governor White, of
the president, of Ohio's two sena-
tors, and Congressman Socrest.
Music for the meeting was fur
nished by the rube band, and fol-
lowing the address, number of
talkie movies were shown, touching
on the subject under discussion; al

scenes in and about Washington.

were made possible through the ef-
forts of Congressman Secrest.

100000 Muskies

Big news for fishermen that the
Ohio State Division of Conservation
is dumping 100000 young muskel.

Muskingum rivers. May each oil
them grow to be great fish, line.
busters every one.
Maskinonje, the Ojibways called
them, "big pike" Big they are
some OF them growing to 40 and sc
pounds, and ugly, tough fighters as
ever snapped pole or dragged a
line under log.
Ferocious cannibals they are, not
only biting their relatives, minnows,
but curiously enough sometimes de-
lighting in dead relative, min
now that is no longer lively.
A small boy who is now over 40,
still marks his great moment as the
hourshe snagged and lost his great
fish. 1t will always be 1.-The great
fish" There will be none other
like it.
Muskellunge had been seen in a
little river in northeastern Ohio. The
small boys big brother had dragged
appetizing "shiner'' minnows across
the spot where the muskies had
been seen. Nothing stirring.
The small boy amid derision,
took half dead sinner, and pushed
off in the boat to troll after his
elders had given up the hunt.
Something like tornado, egged on
by a. couple Of tons of exploding
dynamite, hit that line. 1t towed
the boat, plowed UP and down that
pond, shook the line, dived and
leaped, then sneaked behind a log,
played with the slack, worked the
hook out of it's jaw, and was gone.
The boy cried. He would have
gladly traded year of school
ing for that fish in his boat. 1t was
his great moment, lost, and still is.
May many boys, and boys grown
older, be given action and great
moments by those 100000 muskel-
lunge, and with better luck than
had the boy of 80 years ago.-Col-
umbus Citizen.

Program Plans For Alumni

The committee in charge of pro-
gram plans for the annual M. & M.
Alumni association meeting is ex-
tending special invitations to the
classes, 1916, IT, Is, 10 and 20,
to meet in reunion at the banquet
on the evening of May 26, at the
McConnelsville armory. Represen-
tatives of these classes, which were
the first to graduate from the union
high school, will have parts in the
program, and many from out of
town are expected to be in attend
ance for the first time since their
graduation days While these class
es will share honors with the class
of 33, to be initiated that evening,
all graduates of the old Malta and
McConnelsville high schools, as well
as those of more recent years from
the M. & M. high school, are urged
to attend and are privileged to each
bring one guest Should this years
trial of the group plan of reunion
which brings together in special re-
union not only one class, but the en-
tire group of classes which were in
high school attedance at about the
same time, meet with the approval
of the alumni association, it will
probably be continued from year to
year with various groups.
Although an attempt is being
made to keep program plans a deep
secret, evidently something very
amusing and entirely out of the Or
binary may be expected, Judging
from the hints which have been per-
mitted to leak out. Following the
program there will be music for
dancing, and tables will be provided
at which non-dancers are urged to
linger for cards or social visiting

Perhaps you've noticed that ribbed
fabrics are high in fashions favor
this season. Aside from the usual
corduroy and ribbed wool we find
ribbed satin, ribbed crepes, corded
sheers and cottons. These ribs look
new and eXciting-and they're
fattering to the woman who is not
slender.
The woman's frock sketched here
would be stunning in ribbed crepe
with plain, and it has the added
virtue of being youthful style.
Those pointed seams are slender
izing. The oval vestee and sailor
like collar are chic details. And
the slender skirt will be appreciated
by women who feel dreSsed-up in
