PHONE PATRONS SEEK DAMAGES FROLKOMPANY Four Subscribers Ask for $5,600 for Loss of Service.
EATON. O.. March 12. Alleging they were deprived of telephone service for a period of almost one year while a mandamus suit against the company was being carried through the courts, the Eldorado & West Manchester Telephone company is being sued in common pleas court by A. W. S. Locke, C. E. and Harvey Shewman and A. J. Hamilton for $5,600 damages. Locke sued for $2,500, Hamilton, $1,500. C. E. Shewman, $1,000 and Harvey Shewman, $600. In February, 1911, the telephone company's service was demoralized as the result of a destructive sleet storm. The service was out a month or six weeks. When the company sought full rental pay a number of subscribers refused to acceed to the demand and the company "cut out" their tele-, phones. Locke and several other persons joined in instituting mandamus action against the company in an effort to compel it to reinstate their telephones. They won the decision in common pleas court and the instruments were ordered reinstated. Instead of reinstating the telephones the company set out to take the man
damus action to the higher courts, with the result that the supreme court affirmed the lower courts. Now follows the damage actions. Little damage resulted in Eaton and vicinity from the terrific wind storm Saturday night. In numerous instances tin roofing was torn off and small buildings blown over, but no serious damage was done. The Eaton Lighting company's street service was put out of commission and the town was in darkness' throughout the night. In some parts of the residence districts there was no light. An executive committee and heads of departments were not announced by President J. L. Hasten at a meeting of the county fair board here Saturday, although the appointments were scheduled. They will be announced at a meeting April 13. At the meeting Saturday the work of revising the premium list for this year's fair was practically completed. Barbara Tlew is suing John Plew for divorce, upon grounds of cruelty. They were married thirty-three years ago in Hamilton. They reside in Somers township. A divorce suir filed about eighteen months ago by Waldo Weist against Amanda Weist was dismissed from common pleas court for want of prosecution. An action to quiet title, brought by Daniel Studebaker against Curt Uaunigardner, et a'!, was dismissed for want of prosecution. Dclbert Thompson of near Eaton, has voluntarily entered the army service and will go Friday to the' barracks at Columbus, lie i.t a Class 1-A draftee. Antonln Alford, auxiliary clerk at the local postoffice, has gone to Rochester. N. Y.. to enter the school of aerial photography. He 13 a Class 1-A draftee and was voluntarily inducted into the service. It is expected that dates for this year's Chautauqua will be announced at an early date; also the complete list of attractions. The local Chautauqua association announces that already Kryl's band has been secured as a headliner.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man twenty-two years old. 1 have an opportunity which calls me many miles away. I have a girl friend near here whom I like ever so much. Would it be all right to
leave her? And how can I keep her a sweetheart, and still not keep her from having a good time? I may be gono two or threw years. . Would you advise me to keep up a correspondence, or have her forget me? DOUBTFUL DICK. You are too young to tie yourself to one girl by becoming engaged to her, and so it will be best for you to leave
her with no definite undestanding as to the future except that you value her friendship highly and that you want her to write you often. When you reach your destination you should write her at once, showing her that you really want to correspond and giving her a chance. to answer your letter.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a boy friend in the army who sent me a war
saving stamp for my birthday. I appreciated it very much, but my girl friend said it was as bad as accepting money or jewelry and that I should return it to him. I am afraid if I do that I will hurt his feelings and I don't want to. What do you think? BETTY. Under the circumstances it will be all right to accept the gift. In remembering you the boy also did a service for his country which was a very good idea. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls fifteen and seventeen. We both received letter from two boys in
another town whom we met and have gone with while on a vacation. How long should we wait before we anabout to make an Interesting letter? CHUM3. Wait a week or two before answering. Tell them whatever interests you most and they will probably be interested too. Also comment on what they told you so that they will know that you appreciated their letters.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am seventeen years old. I am to be married in the spring. Would a suit or dress be best to wear? (2) Do you think it is proper to correspond with other boys after you are engaged? BRIDE-TO-BE. (1) If you do not feel you can afford
a suit and a dress buy whichever you think will be more serviceable. A dress is usually worn, of course, but many practical brides prefer a suit because thev can get more service from it. (2) It is all right if the boy you are engaged to doesn't care.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have dark red hair, but I do not like the color of It. Is there anything that will make It still darker? CAROLINE. Leave your hair its natural color because it is prettier that way than any way you can color it. I have never known anyone who dyed her hair with success. When the hair grows out at the roots the difference shows and causes the hair to be streaked and artificial looking.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Are girls of seventeen too old to wear their hair down their backs? SWEET SEVENTEEN. Most girls look very well if they wear their hair braided or tied in the
back but not hanging loosely. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am seventeen years old. Do you think a black silk skirt too old for me? DOUBTFUL. Yes. I think it is too old. Brown, blue, stripes or a plaid would be so much prettier and more youthful.

Grant, campaign director for the Lake Division, announced Monday. Notice of the change was received in Richmond, Monday. The change in dates is made in accordance with Instructions from the American Red Cross War Council at Washington. Fear that it might detract from the forthcoming Liberty loan campaign prompted the Red Cross to postpone the date. Charles F. Coffin, vice president of the Indiana State Life Insurance company of Indianapolis, is to be the Indiana drive manager. Indiana has been given a quota of $2,100,000. A special war committee will have charge of the campaign in' Richmond.

THERE IS NOW NO QUESTION OF MOTOR TRUCK ECONOMY The cost of hauling with an International Motor Truck today is little less than one-half the cost of doing the same work with horses, provided the truck is kept reasonably busy. An International is always ready for work. Its steady, day-by-day, year-in and year-out service, due to its built-in quality, and to the prompt service we give International owners, makes this truck especially economical. Compare the International engine, frame, springs, rear axle and wheel drive 'with those of any other truck sold to carry equal loads. Then consider that this truck is backed by a seventy million dollar corporation with 76 years of manufacturing experience and with 90 direct company branches in the United States seven of them in Indiana. Where can you get greater assurance of steady service and low hauling costs? There are four sizes of International Motor Truck.' 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 pounds capacity. All are built with a durability that means a reasonable first cost and lowest last cost. Write or call on us for literature and full information.

Revelations of t Wife
A 8HORT REST The taxicab suggestion annoyed me It was so ridiculous. When, after one of our discussions, Dicky had turned over his bank account and earnings to me, that I might regulate our expenses and try to save something out of his large income, I had resolved to be as economical as Dicky was extravagant. It was just such little leaks as these that counted, but I was in no mood today to deny Dicky anything. So I resolved to do as he asked.
"Oh, Mrs. Graham," Mrs. Underwoods
was at the telephone again. "Hurry along over, and we'll wait dinner for you. Harry isn't here either, but I expect him every minute." "Please don't do that, Mrs. Underwood," I said. "You know I have just dined with my cousin, and I couldn't eat a mouthful. I'll be there in about an hour, in time to have an after-dinner coffee with you." "All right then. Be sure that you do. Goodby." I hung up the receiver, conscious all at once that my head was beginning to ache violently. This would never do. I did not want anyone to know that my meeting with Jack had caused me any emotion. If I went to Lillian's with a headache and reddened eyes, they would surely suspect something. Sometimes, when these headaches of mine started one of the little tablets which my physician had given me for them would allay the pain for a time. The headache always came back later unless I went straight to bed and stayed there at the first suspicion of ap attack. But I must risk that. The thing now was to put up a good appearance at Lillian Underwood's. I went to my bedroom, took off my hat and slipped off my gown. Going to the bathroom, I bathed my eyes, first in hot water, and then dashed cold
upon them'. I took the tablet and wrapping the covers closely around me I crept into bed. My little clock was where I could see it, and I had been trained by long nights of vigil with my mother to awaken after any set interval ot time. I closed my eyes, hoping to get a half hour's eleep. A Disturbing Reply I lay for several minutes resolutely putting dut of my mind every thought but that of my desire for sleep. Finally, I was rewarded and I woke in half an "hour almost to the minute from the time I lay down. Slipping my feet into a pair of bedroom "mules," for I had taken off my shoes when I laid down, and wrapping a bathrobe around me, I went to the telephone. "Madison Square 947," The number I gave was that of the taxicab company where Dicky kept an account. "Hello!" The voice that came back over the telephone was an unpleasant tone. "Is this the Bronson Taxicab Company?" "Yeah. Watcha want?" I resolved to have Dicky report the man, his tone was so impertinent, his manner 60 uncouth, but I tried to answer pleasantly. "Will you please send a taxicab in 15 minutes for Mrs. Richard Graham, apartment 4, 46 East Twenty-Ninth Street?" "Where?" "Mrs. Richard ' "I didn't ask you who. I said where where?" The tone was rough and impatient as if he had been speaking to some stupid employe. "You need not trouble yourself. I would not order a machine from an establishment that permits such inso
lence. And you can rest assured that my husband will close his account with you at once." "Aw, go to - ." I could not believe my ears, as the words came over the wire, and the receiver at the other end smashed down upon its hook.
