MIDDLEBORO BLOCK HOUSE WORTHY OF COMMEMORATION

SPORT OF FOOTBALL INCREASES IN U. S.

iy..:.. ...,.,.. U

John A. Fernley, president of the United Stales Football Association hy that this particular 6port is on the increase and he expects more clubs to be added to the association in the near future.

The old bjock house, used by the whites over, a century ago for protect

ion against the Indians, is believed by the pupils of District No. 1, Middleboro to be worthy of a marker as an historical spot in Wayne county. The old block house is located about 200 yards east of the intersecting roads at Middleboro. Miss Maude Baker, an eighth year pupil of District No. 1, writes interestingly on this subject, and her essay has been submitted to the county superintendent and will later be forwarded to the Wayne County Historical Society. Marks in the rock around Middleboro show that the Indians got lead to make bullets from a place near the Pleasant run school house. There are marks in the rock here which show that the Indians melted the lead here. The whites built a block house where the present school house is situated on the farm of Orville Boyd. Miss Baker describes the founding of the village of Middleboro and said

that the Indians thought a great deal of Jeremiah Cox, who operated a mill here because of Cox's generosity. Cox, in order to keep the Indians' good will frequently gave them flour and meal. Two miles south of Middleboro there is an old trail which is now used as a road. OLD COX MILL. "The Mills" is the subject of the essay of Nellie McEldowney, of District No. 1, Wayne township. Tht essay tells why the old mill at Middleboro, or Cox's milis, should be marked as a place of historical merit in Wayne county. The mill was founded by Jeremiah Cox, the first Wayne county settler who took a claim in Middleboro in 1800. The first mill was built in 1827. It was twenty feet square and was. built of logs. 1839, It was rebuilt with brick and is the same building that is now being used at Middleboro.

has told the board who the people are that have told him these things about Mueller's work and I want it understood that I am here . representing Peacock alone. To make it clear right in the . beginning, I am not being paid by Ogborne, the Indiana Bridge company or any one else besides Peacock as far as I know. As long as this hearing is to make Peacock the 'goat' we don't pretend to let it be done." Osborne said that he had worked with the Inidana Bridge company for the past fifteen years with the excep-. tion of three years from 1908 to 1913. He is an associate member of the national society of civil engineers. His specialty" is iron bridge work. "' During his testimony question arose over y the Smith bridge, which was built three 5rears ago. The Indiana bridge company submitted a bid on the plans of Mueller but were refused the contract. Mordecai Doddridge, president of the board, who was a member of the board when the Smith bridge contract was let, explained that the reason the Indiana . Bridge company was not

awarded the contract was because they

had submitted a bid only on the superstructure and had ignored the substructure of the bridge. Explains Refusal. To this Mr. Osborne replied that he requested the jlans for the substructure but was informed that none were made and presuming that the board did not intend to let the contract for this work at that time, he submitted his bid only on the superstructure. The chief point on which Osborne's testimony hinged was the work he had done on the Cedar Grove bridge In Franklin county. . Mueller had made the plans for this bridge and it was asserted at the hearing last week that Mueller's plans were unsatisfactory and the Indiana Bridge company which secured the contract lost considerable money because additions had to be made which were not specified. Osborne alleged this morning that

the plans submitted by Mueller . at that time, called for a bridge that was five feet short of spanning the space between the two abutments. Whenr the men began their work they found that they had to make an entirely new abutment which : cost considerable money, be said. ' "Why; is it that the Indiana Bridge company, can not submit plans -for work in Wayne county?" asked Reller. .... , "Because the bridge plans here do not call for an economical construe-; tion, and the plans and specification-! made by Mueller are not scientific' said the witness. "It is difficult to carry out Mueller's ideas and come within the price. The joists are too heavy and are not the standard weight." "How does that keep you people out?" asked Reller. "We could not do the work for the contract price secured for work here and keep from skimping the specifications," replied Osborne. "The difference in the weights of the beams makes it possible for indiscriminate bidders, butting in lighter beams, which might not be detected. I wanj it understood that I am not saying this has been done, but it is a possibility." Osborne said also that the plans and specifications made by Mueller, which always called for corrugated steel forms for concrete, are expensive, and the county loses money by having them specified in the plans. The question of the Main street temporary bridge was then taken up with the witness, who said that a bridge should be built on a level with the present Main street bridge, according to the plans of Davis of Elkhart, whone plans were rejected by the commissioners. "I would have tested the Main 6treet bridge before I condemned it," said Osborne. "I do not know whether this is done or not, but I have been given to understand that it was not done by Mueller.

ing for me the past year or so and he has also worked for John Duke, Horton and Mosley, of Chicago and other contractors." - "Do you know what interest Stevens has in this matter?" asked Reller. "I do not," replied Peacock. Did you ask hi i to write to Cincli'uati and Dayton regarding Mueller's work there," asked Reller. "No," was Peacock's prompt answer; "I asked him to write to Davis, of Elkhart, "though because he knew Davis right well." Frank Osborne, of the Indiana Bridge company, Muncie, Ind., was placed on the stand, and before he began to make any statement, Attorney Jessup proceeded to question him. "I would like to know who is paying Jessup," said Reller. "We want to know who is back of him. Peacock says that he has no selfish motives, but here he comes with his attorney and questions all the witnesses that have been placed on the stand." Defends Peacqck. "I have not changed my position in the least," replied Jessup. "Peacock

Night I

More and more motorists are coming to demand the exhilaration of driving a car, which, day after day, is fairly "tugging" with power. And they are fast learning that power is more than a matter of correct mechanical adjustment. If the fuel charge escapes down past the piston rings during the compres sion stroke, power plainly goes to waste. If, on the power stroke, the force of the expanding gases escapes past the piston rings, power again goes to waste. Piston clearances vary in different types of motor. You cannot secure full power unless you maintain a proper piston seal. This demands an oil whose body is suited to the piston clearance in your motor. Again: The average motor has some 1500 parts most of them moving. Different types of lubricating systems are used to carry oil to these parts. Unless the oil you use is adapted to the feed system of your motor, Incomplete lubrication of some parts must result. Friction follows. Power suffers. So a very important demand of full .power is high quality oil of correct body for your motor. After you have cleaned out your motor and filled the crank case with the grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils specified for your car, you will discover what full power means. . You will feel this power the moment you open the throttle. . Try it on a familiar hill. If the power is what you want, you should stop guessing about your lubricating oil and act on the scientific advice we can furnish.
