Arrest Youth

ALSO NABBED

Lloyd Alexander, 90, of Ravenna,
who was held in the city Jail here for
Mt. Vernon authorities, charged with
the theft of an auto in Mt. Vernon on
Monday, has been returned to Mt.
Vernon to face auto theft charges.
His alleged partner, also of Ra-
VIENNA, is also held in the Mt. Vernon
Jail, having been arrested at Ravenna.
Alexander was arrested here by
Marshal Ed Smith after he had been
advised by Mt. Vernon officers that
the youth was in London, driving a
stolen Chysler auto.
Alexander offered no resistance and
was little disturbed when informed
that his alleged partner in the theft Of
the auto had confessed at Mt Vernon
and implicated him.
He said that the two had planned to
meet here and go south, driving the
other youths machine. 1t is believed
that the two intended to abandon the

the University will be available for the
laboratory and demonstration exer-
cises. Special lectures will be given
on the manufacture of vanilla and
chocolate ice cream, which are still the
most popular with the public. 1t has
been noted, too, that ice cream is be-
ing looked upon more and more as a
year-round dish, instead of merely a
dessert for special occasions, an idea
that prevailed quite generally decade
ago. 1t also is stated that ice cream,
at its present low price, is virtually
the cheapest dessert that the house

Public Educated
To Life Insurance

The public has literally become "ed-
ucated" to the value of life insurance.
The educating factor was the stock
crash and the depression that followed
on its heels. 1t is true, of course, that
billions Of dollars worth of life insur-
ance had been sold before that--it is
likewise true that good many Of US
looked on it only as a protection for
dependents, and not as an investment.
The depression awakened US to the
hard realities. We found that there
is an end to the price heights which a
commodity or a security can reach;
that a stock selling at $50 and paying
a four-dollar divident is not a sound
haven for savings; that, in short,
what goes up must come down. While
security values dropped fifty and sew
enty and ninety per cent, the value of
legal reserve life insurance policies
varied not one iota. Hundreds Of
thousands of people have taken that
information to heart and are acting
accordingly
1t is worth knowing that sales of
life insurance have been, and are.
much above the general purchasing
level. Millions of dollars are going
into policies where, few years ago,
they would have gone into other and
more risky channels. That fact is a
splendid aggury FOR the future of
American savings.

Show
Pleases Crowd
WRESTLING, BOXING MATCHES
IN OLD PRESS BUILDING WIN
PRAlSE-NEXT SHOW ON
FEBRUARY 22
lBy George @. Decker

(By George @. Decker)
The new quarters of the Legion's
athletic show in the old Press building
failed to accommodate the large crowd
of wrestling and boxing fans that wit
messed one of the best programs ever
held in London. 1t was q rough and
tumble affair that kept the fans on
their toes from start to finish.
The first bout was four rounds of
boxing that featured K. o. Baker, OF
South Charleston, and Sammy Baldwin
Of London. Baker won the decision
at the end of the match but could moi
knock out Baldwin, who was much the
smaller man.
Gypsy Joe, of Columbus, and Fred
Mart, Of Indianapolis, beth at 154
pounds, went the second event, a one
hour wrestling match. Both boys were
very clever and at the end of twenty
minutes, Joe pinned the shoulders OF
Hart to the mat with body slam.
Four rounds of boxing featured the
next event with Johnny Ames of Lon
don and Bull Dog Jess, of Springfield,
both at l25 pounds. Anes is a. new
conner in the boxing game and his ap-
pearance pleased the crowd Ames
Won the decision at the end of their
four-round match.
The main bout of the evening was a
two-fall, two-hour limit wrestling
match between two of the toughest
wrestlers in the state of Ohio-Swede
Thompson and Sailor Hasson both at
IT'S pounds. This displayed about all
of the rough holds ever used in a
match. These were permissible ir
this watch. Thompson won the first
fall in 20 minutes after Hasson hac
tried to kick the Swede's ear off.
However Hasson came back to win the
second fall in twelve minutes with &
back lock. The final fall found botf
boys eager to win and for twenty min.
utes they bit, hit and kicked unit
Swede landed one in the ribs of Has
son to throw him for the final fall. The
crowd was pleased with this mattel
and Thompson challenged any conner
in rough and tumble match up to 19t
pounds.
The next show will be held in the
same place and it was announced By
the Legion that more room and seats
will be available at the event, sched
uled next Wednesday, Feb. %.

GARDENS ARE FOR
GARDENING

Garden design is being stressed now
adays with excellent results in the inn
provement of the picturesque quality
OF our gardens. But specialists in de-
sign are much inclined to overlook
an important fact, which is that one OF
the greatest sources of enjoyment
which one obtains from a garden is
the experience Of growing plants.
To come into finished garden and
share with the owner the satisfaction
OF its beauty is very pleasant; but to
be the owner, and to have known the
unfolding of this beauty from infancy
to maturity and to be conscious of
having contributed to its fruition, is
far more pleasant. And it is only
one who knows this creative JOY who
may properly be termed a gardener.
Others are garden visitors.
A landscape lecturer who ably dis
cussed modern garden style and urged
that the private garden be lived in,
suggested as recreations to be enjoyed
there such things as pitching horse
shoes, playing croquet or putting a
golf ball. He ignored the value of a
vegetable plot on the small home
home grounds.
THE design of a garden is import
ant" objected member of the au-
dience, "but we design garden only
once, if it is well designed. Afterwards
We must live in it.and take our pleas
ure there, and for a recreation to be
carried on in the garden what can
compare with gardening? The grow
ing of plants is a fascinating amuse-
ment. No recreation is more interest
ing, more cultural, more healthful or
more productive of contentment. The
production of fine plant, fine vege-
table, fine flower is as satisfying an
achievement as the designing of a
beautiful garden. A vegetable plat is
not merely an economic enterprise to
true gardener, but it is a true play
ground for the enjoyment of his
hobby"

Reduce Waste
And Suffering

The American people customarily
burn up about $500,0O0,000 worth OF
property each year. About 10000 hu-
man lives gre included. This is a
tragic burden on every community
Each fire adds to the toll in lost jobs,
lost business opportunities, human sor-
row and suffering.
In depressed times, when jobs are at
a premium and taxation at maxi
mum, and when the nation sorely
needs every business, we still burn up
about $500, 100000 worth of property
annually. During the first ten months
of 1882, fire loss was approximately
$5, 900, 900, greater than in 1881, year
in which the waste was practically the
same as in the preceding three or four
years.
If fire waste works great hardship
in normal times, what is its effects in
an era of depression? There can be
no question but that the destruction of
homes, factories and places Of busi-
ness is not only an obstacle in the way
of recovery, but an abetter of more
hard times. The indirect cost of fire
is always the most important. A fac
tory burns-men are thrown out of
work, hardship, distress and poverty
result.
Fire prevention is both an obligation
and duty that the citizen owes to
himself, to his community and to the
nation. Nearly every fire is caused by
carelessness because someone ne
elected to give the little time and the
little money that would have been nee
essary to eliminate hazard. Do your
bit in the cause of fire prevention and
save human suffering.

SCHOOL DAYS

SCHOOL DAYS
In memory's book let's turn page
And 20 back to years ago
Just be child, forget our age
And see how much you know.
Can YOU remember the old red school
Where you'd 90 from day to day
Get your lessons by method and rule
And still have time to play?
A spelling match once in a while
If lessons were well done.
How proud you were, and how you'd
smile
II yours was the side that won.
Today We will spell as we did then
And see what we can do,
Well think we are in school again
With teachers fond and true.
And say, we never can forget
Our first young climb to fame
When with a program we were set
To "strut our stuff" when the trustees
came
And on those Friday Afternoons
How hard we would try to please
By speaking, singing and playing
tunes
Before those feared trustees.
Then back again in memory's book
We will turn another page,
And in our faces we will look
And really see our age.
