(Palladium 8p.ilal) Katon, O.. Dec. 7. Three well known Katon women, Mrs. Elizabeth IteyiioMk. Mrs. Nan Iliestand. and Mrs. J?ei:o Huffman, who composed an advisory ooniniitu-e worklnjr. in harmony with the board of trustees of the county Children's Home, are out of a job, yet they are not aware of the fact and are assiduously at work trying to asulst In the selection of a superintend
ent and matron of the Home to fill

tion of Mr. and Mm. George Hardin.
who leave on March 1.
A half dosen or more years ago
Judge Elara Fisher, acting on authority
of law, chose the women referred to
for the positions named. A little la
ter the matter of selection was. by
legislative action, placed In the hands
of county commissioners, who con tinned In honorary office the same per
sons. Iater, however, the legislature repealed the statute authorizing such a hoard, because the need of it couid not be ascertained, nor was Us duty
outlined. However, that fact was not
discovered until a few days ago,
when the board was seeking legal advice pertaining to the selection of successors to Mr. and Mrs. Hardin. Meanwhile the advisory committee has been trying very hard to convince the trustees of the home that such-and-such persona were fitted or unfitted for the work, and they wll. dauntless be greatly surprised to learn that their advice and influence will go no further than would that of any well-meaning taxpayer. The board of trustees la composed of Harry P. Sliver. Harry O. King. Daniel M. Swlhart and John Click and they are really up against It In the proposition of selecting desirable officials. Eighteen candidates, tentatively or announced, are In the field for the Job. and the board has lately been working the processes of elimination, seeking to narrow the number down to within a reasonable consideration. Some are very well qualified for the place, which Is an Important 'one. but pays only a nominal salary or $600, for both superintendent and matron. Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, who have faithfully served for a number of years, will remove to a farm west of Katon. March 1. There are about 60 children at the home.
To Remove All Traces of the
Great Blizzard Sweeping that City Tuesday. (American Newn Service) New York, Dec. 7. An army of 8,-
000 men today began removing the
races of yesterday's blizzard. Two thousand trucks and wagons carried
away the snow and dumped it into the
Hudson and Hast rivers.
Traffic conditions today were report
ed much better than yesterday. 3,-
500 men of the street cleaning depart
ment worked cleaning off crossings on
the most important streets and open
ing a way to the ferries and to the bridge approaches. Hundreds were assigned to districts about Forty-Second street and Broad
way and the financial centers and had
much of the snow out of the way be
fore daylight.
Commissioner Kdwards has been the busiest man in town since the storm
began. He notified the snow removal
contractors last night to have all the
available men ready for work this
morning and they responded that 5.500 were readv. The other U.000 were
from the street cleaning department.
PAMPER STATESMEN.

extra street cleaners at work today

streets. A foot of snow fell here but
some drifts are four feet high.
TO GIVE HEARING . ON WIRE CONTROL (American News Service) Washington. Dec. 7. Representatives of the telegraph and telephone Interests of the country met here today for a conference with the Interstate Commerce commission regarding the meaning and applications of the amended commerce law to the telegraph and telephone companies. The
chief point to be decided Is whether the sections of the law relating to the Issuance of franks, forbidding rebate and undue preference, and requiring the filing of tariffs and changes apply to the telegraph and
telephone companies engaged In in
terstate business the same as it ap
plies to railroads. BARGAIN SALE IN

Remarkable Case Has Been
Brought to Attention of County Physician.
So blind that he could not even de-
tect light from darkness, steps have been taken by the county health officer, J. E. King to have Ralph, the
ten year old son of Samuel Bales and
wife of Dalton township, removed
from the district school there to the institution for the blind at Indianapolis. The boy has been attending school for the past eighteen months and has been doing exceptionally good work considering his handicap.
Samuel Lamar, the teacher of the
district school which Bales attends, has taken much interest in the boy and assisted in his educational devel
opment perhaps more than he has any other pupil. Bales masters all of his
lessons and while unable to demonstrate them on paper as the other pupils do. commits them to memory and recites them perfectly. This is particularly true of reading and other
subjects in which the eyesight is par
ticularly depended on.
The boy has an older brother who
acts as his protector and tutor. He leads him to school and assists him
from place to place. At night they walk home and the lessons of Ralph
are always mastered first, the older
brother reading and the-younger committing them to memory. He Is able to retain the exact words In his
memory not only until the next morn
ing but for weeks. This rare gift has either been peculiarly developed or is natural with the boy. The Bales's are living on a small farm which they rent. Dr. King intends to have the boy sent to the institution for the blind at Indianapolis, his steps in this direction being taken through the agency of the county superintendent. About IS months ago the child suffered from spinal trouble which resulted in the permanent affection of his eyes.
