Telephone Employees Picnic

Embree park was the scene of a
delightful meeting Thursday even
ing, July 10, when the local tele-
phone people met the other en-
ployes of the southeastern division
for a picnic. The affair was plan
ned by Roy Gay, manager of the
southeastern division, and was one
of the many pleasant get-together
meetings enjoyed by this group.
Over SO were present, representing
Frazeysburg, Crooksville, Junction
City, Glouster, Pennsville, Bartlett,
Stockport, Chesterhill, and McCon-
nelsville. If plenty to eat is what
is necessary for successful picnic,
this one was surely success, for
the table was loaded with all the
good things of the season, even the
chicken did not run out, thanks to
Mr. and Mrs. Hickerson, though
Leonard almost let it burn. VIM.
Taylor says he never will go again
without his knife and spoon, be-
cause baked beans and fruit salad
are hard to manage without the
proper tools.-XX.

to an extent most pleasing to the
eye.
Evans park is situated just lit
tie above the high water line, over
looking the beautiful Muskingun,
and furnishing a beautiful view.
The park itself Is decorated with a
beautiful and well kept carpet of
green, and in addition to the ordi-
nary shrubs and foliage found in
Ohio, here we find such rare speci-
mems that some are worthy of men
ton. The park is surrounded by
japanese barberry and California
privet hedge. Within the park we
find more than 100 Towering shrubs
including Japanese cherries (seven
kinds) same as those in our capital
city (Washington) which draws
thousands of visitors to Washington
yearly. Here evans Park we find
French and Persian lilac-tamarix,
three kinds of Towering shrubs,
Spanish, Caspian and Africana,-
Pauls scarlet thorn, rose tree of
China, beauty bush, Betchel's fow-
ering crab, purple fringe, (smoke
tree), rose of Sharon, (althea) five
varieties including rare variegat-
ed leaf, golden rose of China,
azalea mollis, golden spirea, thun-
bergi and other varieties too numer-
Gus to mention, and the park is dot
ted with red and white Towering
dogwoods, soft naples, poplar,
cedar and pine, flower beds and
rare roses.
Fishermen will appreciate the
fact that the shore line for half
mile norh and south Of Evans park
is what known as "Shelf Rock" a
hard-bottomed shore line. The
park is located midway between
two dams, one at Stockport and one
at Luke Chute. Camping grounds,
three cottages and eight rowboats
are available. The writer has often
travelled hundreds of miles in
search of just such spot as we
have right here in Morgan county.

to the king of Israel, Inquire first,
| pray thee, the word of Jehovah. +"
Truth must be sought; it is avail
able; it is infinitely valuable. 1t is
profoundly needed, but it comes to
none but those who seek it.
V. 6. "Then the king of Israel
gathered the prophets together,
about four hundred men, and said
unto them, Shall I go against
Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I
forbear? And they said, Go up; for
the Lord will deliver it into the
hand of the king" These four
hundred were false prophets who
first of all pleased the king. They
knew what Ahab wanted, and the
desired prophecy. They acted as if
they were true representatives of
God.
v. 7. "And Jehoshaphat said, Is
there not here a prophet of Jehovah
besides, that we may inquire of
him" Jehoshaphat by this state
ment put the true stamp on the four
hundred prophets of Ahab. There
is a suggestion here also that the
conscience of Jehoshaphat was trou-
bled
v. 8. "And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one
man by whom we may inquire of
Jehovah, Micaiah, the son Of Imlah !;
but hate him; for he doth not
prophesy good concerning me, but
evil. And Jehoshaphat said Let not
the king say So" Ahab hated
Micaiah because this prophet had
told him the truth. Ahab was un-
willing to rectify his life; this
prophet was not misunderstood;
but he was deliberately misrepre-
sented. When one is warned as to
a sin he has, he either repents and
becomes a better man, or he rebels
and becomes worse for the warning.
v. 9. 'Then the king of Israel
called an officer, and said, Fetch
quickly Micaiah, the son of Imlah. !"
For the sake of friendship Ahab
yielded to his guest king; true
friendship cannot be bought by in
sincere methods.

Kings 22:1-14, for Sunday, July
rs:
Ahab, king of Israel, had defeat
ed Benhadad, King of Syria, but
was too lenient with him. He had
the Syrian's word that certain cities
should be restored to Israel. There
was also peace pact between
Israel and Judah. The new relation
was now being cemented by visit
from the king of Judah, Jehosha-
phat of Jerusalem.
v. 3. "And the king of Israel
said unto his servants, Know ye
that Ramoth-Gilead is ours, and we
are still, and take it not out Of the
hand of Syria" Probably Ahab had
in mind the capture of Ramoth-
Gilead when inviting Jehoshaphat
into conference, as there was
needed a larger military force than
he possessed. One common sin is
that of using our friends to hght
our battles for us.
v. A.. And he said unto Jehosha-
phat, Wilt thou go with me to bat
tie to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehosh-
aphat said to the king OF Israel, 1
am as thou art, my people as thy
people, my horses as thy horses"
The kings were bowing to each 9TH
er and not to God. They were
Manning a campaign, not praying
for guidance. They ignored the
truth. 1t is certain that, so far
from it's being true that prepara-
tions for war lead to peace, they
are merely incentives to strife and
bloodshed. The way to world peace
is by peace-mindedness expressed in
a reduction of armaments.

Infdelity

Infidelity is often renounced in
the heart searching light of the dy-
ing hour. One can find illustrations
of this fact in the dying words of
noted infidels:
Voltaire, 1878: II am abandoned
by God and man! / will give you
half of what / am worth II you will
give me six months of life"
Churchill, 1894: What fool
have been!"
Hobbies, 1879: ct say again, if
had the whole world to dispose of,
would give it to live one day. I am
about to take leap in the dark"
Gambetta, 1882: II am lost, and
there is no use to deny it,"
Gibbon, 1894: "All is now lost,
finally, irrecoverably lost. All is
dark and doubtful"
Thomas Paine, 1909: 30 Lord,
help me. O God, what have done
to suffer so much? What will be-
come of me hereafter? Stay with
me, for / cannot bear to be left
alone. Send even a child to play
with me!'

Atty Winegardner Receiving
Many Endorsements

Many Endorsements
Atty r. M. Winegardner, candi-
date for one OF the state supreme
court short terms, is receiving many
endorsements throughout the state.
The following is from j. M. Cox's
paper, the Springfield News:
"It used to be that opportunities,
politically, sought men. Now It's
different. Men hunt for places that
give them prestige in the limelight
of public opinion. Just as an exam
Pile, here is Reed M. Winegardner.
McConnelsville, candidate for DEM
ocratic nomination for short term
on the supreme court bench. Wine
gardner is young man, product
Of Allen county, a pract1cing at
torney, and a man of fine calibre.
He has two opponents for the NOM
ination, and should he be nominat-
ed and elected, Winegardner would
wear the judicial robes less than
two months. But that would be
sufficient to warrant the hanging OF
his picture in the statehouse annex,
and giving him the title of Judge"
the remainder Of his life. It's
worth something in the practice Of
law to be known as former SUI
preme court judge. Some two or
three Democrats and four Republi-
cans are going to win the short
term seats. Reed Winegardner
would fit we'll in one of them"
Other papers carrying favorable
comment include Wapakoneta
News, Dover Daily Reporter, and
Columbus Dispatch. Also the Sum-
nit County Bar association endorses
Atty Winegardner candidacy, and
there is personal endorsement
from Frazier Reams, prosecuting at
torney Of Lucas county. Simeon
Johnson, chairman Hamilton coun-
ty Democratic executive committee,
personally endorses Mr.. Winegard-
ner. Ex-Mayor Ray t. Miller OF

Winegardner that he will personally
assist him in Cuyahoga county. A

Writes From Kentucky

Writing July "a from Louisville,
KY, to the Democrat, Don Carlos
James said:
John Dillinger was twice in the
office of a local surgeon on April
IA, and arranged for an X-ray sx-
animation of his knee for later
date. Had he come back officers in
force would have looked after him.
The heat reached 105 yesterday, a
record never exceeded here but
once. Five deaths were attributed
to this, making eight from heat
lately. Clarence James paid the
house a hurried call yesterday en-
route to Fort Knox on business.
