Make Life Beautiful ...
James w. Sullivan

Is it hard for you to get along
with people? 1t is evident people
do not know the art of getting
along together. Our human re-
lat;ons need a little correction.
Until we learn to get along to-
gether we can never have peace
1t is very simple to get along
with people, if we will practice
only three things
In the first place we must love
people. Here's our main cause
we do not love enough to want
to get along. l can say love will
never fail.
Next we must believe in peo-
pie. Every person has more good
in them than we can see. If we
look for the worst in people than
that is all we can see. We must
look for the best and believe in
people. If we will believe in them
and trust them, we can also be
trusted by them. 1t is distrust
that causes enemies.
And third, we must help one
another. It's very simple and
easy to follow these rules. Every
person in the world wants to
Make Life Beautiful and l will
guarantee if you will practice,
loving, believing, and helping
one another. you will find a
happiness you never knew eXis-
ted.
Life is so simple, It's so easy
to make living worthwhile. If
We'll only practice some simple
rules.
Let us take time to be happy.
How many of you are living now
but not looking at the present
but looking to tomorrow in next
week? Live now, this moment!
Yesterday is now past; tomorrow
is dream. But we have today.
It's people that make life
beautiful when we love, believe
and help them.

factories, and bridges, tearing up
railroads and destroying large
amount of property. The writer's
father-in- law described the local
farmers fighting equipment and
Transportation to defend Mari
eta and other towns in the vi
cinity.
Philip Muhlbach, a tobacco
merchant at that time, started
out in his long-coupled, board
tired tobacco wagon. Word had
been spread about the threat to
farmers live stock and property.
Even before the tobacco wagon
started down Paw-Paw, several
men had already armed them
selves with scythes and pitch
forks, ready to defend them
selves as best they could. Some
twenty to twenty-five men, thus
armed, went rumbling down the
road through creeks and ford
ings to Whipple, and onward to
Join with others, in the motley
array of men, armed just as they
were, to meet General Morgan,
at Marietta. Sanitary methods
were unknown to most Of these
men, and many of them became
i'll. The writer's grandfather,
Thomas Parks of Monroe county,
came down with dysentary,
which never left him before he
died in his late COS. Whiskey
seemed to be the only "medi-
cine" they knew of. Grandfather,
being i'll, was assigned the duty
of guarding one of the wagons.
In it there was thought to be
some of the medicine" ." When
he was aroused by someone
"snooping" around his wagon, he
came up with a terrible temper
and a black snake whip, lashing
it about him in such fury as to
have made Morgan himself turn
away in terror.

IN MEMORY

In memory of our dear hus-
band and father, Willard Fogle,
who passed away one year ago,
September 8, 1850.
You bid no one a last farewell,
You said goodbye to none;
The Heavenly gates had open
ed,
A loving voice said Come"
They say time heals all sorrow
And help one to forget,
But time so far has only prov
ed
How much We miss you yet.
Memories are treasures no one
can steal;
Death is a heartache nothing
can heal;
Some may forget you, now that
you are gone,
But We will remember you no
matter how long.
Sadly missed by Wife and
Children

ONE HUN D Ed
YEARS
OF
N OBLE G O U MT Y

Besides being an accounting of
facts, history also includes some
things that are legendary in ma
ture and often amusing.
Here are a few examples,
which could, without doubt,
have occurred in many parts of
Noble county:
The writer's father-in-law,
Phillip Ullman, who lived in the
oldest Ullman residence-from
which this is being written
has often told about the oil well
"diggers" from Lebanon, Monroe
county. Near the point where
Fleeman Run empties into Paw
Paw Creek, they were drilling
for oil with spring pole" rig,
an outfit operated by man
power, which gave the springing
action so often desired in the old
hemp rope drilling cables. A
young man from Duck Creek,
East Fork, northeast of Harrletts-
Vile, knew about the drilling
operations. One Saturday night
he went past the well on his way
to "see" his girl-friend some
where east of Germantown,
Washington county. With him ne
brought a bottle of oil, probably
obtained from the salt wells on
Salt Run near Olive. He poured
the oil into the hole which had
been drilled to a depth of about
IS feet. Monday morning when
the two or three "diggers" re-
sumed their operations, they
were surprised to find some OF
the liquid gold in their well. All
day they chugged and sweat,
taking turns at smelling the oil
and working furiously at the old
spring pole. Night came upon
them. They resumed operations
day after day, until they at last
were exhausted, not knowing
that several hundred feet be-
meath them lay the liquid gold
which they sought.
Actually, the first knowledge
of the existence of oil in Noble
county was obtained by boring
salt we'll at the village of Olive
in 1814-45 years before Colonel
Drake sunk the first successful
oil we'll on Oil Creek, near Titus
vile, in northwestern Penn
sylvania, in 1859. Because of lack
| of knowledge of the use Of oil
as a lubricant and for heating
and lighting, nothing was made
of it until after Colonel brakes
discovery. Legendary stories
have been told of selling it as
"Snake-Oil" in the earlier days.
Mr.. Ullman also told about the
, erection of several oil rigs and
derrickS just before the Civil
War in the southeast portion Of
Elk township. These were, how
ever, abandoned during the Civil
War, and allowed to decay near
where there are now producing
wells.
There is also another story
which might we'll be called THE
Mystery of Tale Run" Two men
came shortly before the War be-
tween the States and paid about
$500 to a neighbor living on
Paw-PaW. The war came, and
they never returned to develop
their enterprise, thus leaving
him the money-a considerable
fortune at that time What were
they hoping to find? The mystery
will never be solved, unless
somebody does it at some time
in the future. Was it fools
gold" (iron pyrites) or was it
something else they were seek
ing? It could have been coal or
oil, but this was not the opinion
of those who knew about it.
In July, 1868, General Morgan,
with a body of Confederate
cavalry made a raid through
Tennessee and Kentucky into
Indiana and Ohio, burning mills

The American Way
Continued from 1-B)

American public schools during
the middle years of the last CEN
tury.
"The subject was of especial in
terest to me because I have in my
possession a complete set of the
six McGuffey Readers, which
Henry Ford had reprinted in
their original formal and pre-
scented to me.
"No doubt the subject matter
and wording of the McGuffey
Readers would be considered
quaint and somewhat native by
modern teachers, but those text
books for beginners nevertheless
had something that is sadly lack
ing in present-day school books.
Something which children of the
present generation need.
"The first four of the Nc
Guffey Readers were prepared
in 1886 and 1887 by William Hol-
mes McGuffey, Presbyterian
minister, who later served for
quarter of century as professor
of political economy and moral
philosophy at the University of
Virginia. The last two of the
series were written by his broth
er. Alexander, in 1914 and 1854.
"Only a few copies of the first
edition of McGuffey's Third
Reader, most famous of them all,
are known to remain in existence
and they now are book collectors
items of immense value.
'It has been said that McGuf-
fey was the first to fit the child's
education to the child's world.
He illustrated the reading lessons
with pictures that appeal to chill
dren, such as family scenes of
home and farm, with animals
and pets in abundance.
"But above all else, these Nc
Guffey's Readers were charac-
terized by the Importance they
gave to moral and religious sub
iects. In each of the books, any
where from a third to a half of
the lessons contained material of
this nature. At the same time, the
moral and religious subject mat
ter was completely non-sectarian,
in strict accordance with Ameri-
can law and tradition.
"All this has changed, how
ever. A famous educator recent
ly examined 8 sets of readers,
comprising 30 books, currently
used in American schools, from
the fifth to the eighth grades.
"He said the textbooks were
filled with fables, folklore, fairy
tales, pagan mythology, and
jingles and jangles. Twothird of
them had no Bible references at
all, and there was virtually no
subject matter relating to morals.
It seems to me that present
day authors of school readers
would help correct a great deal
that is wrong in America by re-
viving some of the great prin-
ciples and moral teachings which
made America great and which
were emphasized in McGuffey's
school readers"
The Michigan Congressman
most certainly hit the nail on the
head. There is a crying need in
America today for our youth to
be taught the basic principles of
virtue, honesty, integrity and
thrift in the McGuffey manner
For in the words of Alexander
Pope:
" 'Tis education forms the COM
mon mind:
Just as the twig is bent, the
trees inclined" - George Peck

much strength from under the
ground as on the surface. All our
food comes from the soil. All our
scientific strength, all our warm
tn, such as coal, gas, crude oil
for gasoline and others, our pre-
cious stones and etc, all our
beautiful gardens and our drink
ing water. Now isn't there plenty
of life that comes directly from
the ground? If man works
moderately in it, there is much
pleasure, health, strength, and
sunshine. 1t is as good as a tonic.
Man gets closer to himself, his
thoughts and God when he is
blowing a furrow or the city man
fishing for trout on a beautiful
lake at the foothill Of delight
full landscape in a mountain.
There's nothing equal to it. Our
last abode is the depths of the
earth, when it folds it's arms
about us and we rest in pleasant
peace.
The Night is mother of the Day
The Winter, of the Spring
And ever upon old Decay
The greatest MOSES cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight
lurkeS,
Through showers the sun
beams fall;
For God who loveth all his
works,
Has left his Hope with all.

Gardner's run yesterday was
over a 13-mile circular course, the

The 68-year-old former Salt Lake
City Mayor could commiserate
with his youthful-Gardner is a

yesterdays performance.
The streamlined, emerald green
MIG sport car was forced to stop
after the one-hour run, due to a

finale cut short by a punctured
cooling system. Both difficulties
resulted in overheated engines.
