Three Narrowly Escape Injury in Collision CAMDEN, O.. Dec. 7. An examination of the sugar card records by L. L. Brown, county food administrator, is said to have revealed records of an error by a local grccer which made it appear at the time that Ray Brosier, Ed Uhl and Ernest Line, all of this community, had purchased sugar upon two cards during the month of October. The merchant is alleged to have made a confusion in stubbs returned. Frank Bennett and George Winholt,

of near Camden, had a narrow escape a few days ago at Gallon, O., when the former's Ford was struck and demolished by a Big Four passenger train at the corporation limits of that city. They were enroute to Manchester for some repairs for Mr. Winholt's traction engine and were accompanied by a Mr. Dick, a factory mechanic. All three men esaped injury though the body cf the car was swept from beneath them in the collision.

The playwas given by the sophomore class of which Miss Phares is a member.

his shop at the machine works Ned Flowerton went to the big city in quest of a' promoter whose gilt promises he had noticed on an office door. "Nicholas Larney, Promoter. Quick and Splendid Returns Guaranteed on Inventions, Real Estate and Mining." The bold golden letters had been with Ned since he had caught sight of them on his unsuccesful campaign to sell his heater. A shrewd-faced man of indeterminate age in loud but conspicuously "dressy" regalia announced himself as Mr. Larney and asked suavely what he could do for Ned. "You can come up to Arcadia and look at a water heater I've invented. Then if you see in it what I see I want you to 'promote' it put it on the market sell shares- in it make money on it before I'm too old to enjoy it." A thin, inscrutable smile flashed across the smoothly shaven countenance of Mr. Larney. "Lead me to it, Mr. Flowerton and leave the money end of it to me!" An hour later ' Ned was showing his heater to Larney with Edith, Fay Summers and John Ferrol as additional audience. Ferrol noticed that while Larney seemed to have his full share of intelligence.the really telling points of the heater escaped him. His mind seemed to be more engrossed with calculations which were not dependent on the real worth of the invention. , He reached his final decision suddenly and delivered it with gusto. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said energetically, turning to them. "I congratulate you all, and myself. We are in oh the start of a bonanza. Mr. Flowerton, I accept your offer of fiftyfifty to promote your heater. Consider that the Superperfect Heater

Corporation has been formed on the spot, with Edgar Flowerton as president and myself as vice-president and treasurer. In thirty days the public shall be given the chance to buy stock in our concern. In sixty days there will be at least $100,000 for Mr. Flowerton and myself to divide. And that will be only a starter! It should make millions!" "And what about the public? What will they get out of it?" John Ferrol asked dryly. "Ah," Larney replied suavely, though his eyes swiftly measured his questioner. "The public will without a doubt have a most excellent investment for their money. Buff we can best discuss the rest in my office, Mr. Flowerton, if you are willing to begin at once. Ladies, a very good afternoon! Mr. Ferrol " he bowed himself out, followed by a flushed and eagerly alert young inventor. The two women turned instinctively to Ferrol. "John, isn't it wonderful!" Edith said constrainedly. "This man ought to know what he is talking about. He is willing to invest his time and his money In Ned's invention " "He seems willing to invest enough of his time to get a lot of other people's money," Iohn answered sourly. "I wouldn't trust that man to promote my half of an interest in a peanut stand!" ' Indignant protests came spontaneously from both women. "Such a thing to say!" Fay cried. "You never saw the man before! He looks perfectly nice!" "John, Ned can take care of himself!" Edith protested. Ferrol grunted, retired from an ungrateful role, and left the. room. The two women, each with her hopes centered on the same man and his success, but totally antagonistic to each other, were left together. (To be continued.)

Do Not Tempt Returning

Soldiers with Drink' Urges Secretary Baker

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 7. Secretary Baker appealed today to friends of soldiers returning from the front for assistance in discouraging

the giving of intoxicating liquors to the men as part of horns coming celebrations. "In the celebrations that welcome our troops from abroad many men in uniform have been given intoxicating drinks," Secretary Baker said. "This

is contrary to law. It is a breach of

military discipline. It is an injury to the returning troops. "A drunken soldier is a disgrace to his uniform, an insult to the flag, a shame to himself, and a danger to the community. No loyal citizen who has the interest of the men at heart will offer them the temptation of inebriety.. I appeal to the friends of our boys from the front to discourage this abuse of hospitality. "Our army in service has had a record for cleanness and sobriety of which the country has the right to be proud. I appeal to that pride to help the men live up to their record."

E. M. Haas, secretary of the Wayne County War Fund committee, has submitted the following report: All pledge cards for the United War Fund are at the Dickinson Trust company where subscribers should call and make payment. One-half pf the amount subscribed is now due and should be paid. Hundreds have already called and made first payment, but there are still a very large number who have not yet responded. The second payment of one-fourth is due January 15 and the last payment will be due March 1. Owing to the very large list of about

10,000 subscribers it has been found impossible to publish the names of subscribers. It would take about 8 pages of a newspaper tp print all the names. The cost of publication and the season of the year when the newspapers are using their space for holiday advertising makes the publication impractical at this time. The lists are, however; prepared and are open for

inspection to anyone desiring to see them at the headquarters in the Commercial Club rooms, and at the Dickinson Trust company. In closing what is probably the last campaign that will be made by the Wayne county war fund committee, I desire to state that this organization served the county in a patriotic capacity that called for great sacrifice of time and earnest effort. No one, unless closely connected with a campaign knows the amount of tremendous hard work there is involved. There were four campaigns made by this organization and it raised a total

of $210,000. While it is greatly to be regretted that the full quota was not subscribed in the United War Fund campaign, yet there are some extenuating circumstances accounting for it. It came just when the armistice was signed and many people considered the war over and the need for the money ended, however, Wayne county can glory in the fact that the total quotas for the four campaigns made, two for the Red tross, one for the Y. M. C. A. and the Un.ited War Fund were over subscribed $25,500. The total of the four quotas amounted

to $184,500, while the total amount subscribed amounted to $210,000. Of this total amount the City of Richmond subscribed $126,215 and the townships out side of the city, $83,785. " .The first Red Cross war fund campaign was conducted by Geo. E. Seidel, chairman. The Y. M. C. A: was by James A. Carr, the 3econd Red Cross campaign and the United War

Fund campaign were by Mr. John M. Lontz. To these men and the various committees and township chairmen, the county owes a debt of gratitude for the results achieved. If to the above amount of $210,000 were added the subscriptions, made

i for other causes related to the war,

such as the K. of C, the Salvation Army, the Wayne County Red Cross, Assyrian and Armenian relief, Belgians, French orphans, American Library Association, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, Smilage books, and dozens of others, the amount approximate nearly half a million dollars. The things which cannot be counted in dollars and cents, such as the labor grven by the good women of the Red Cross in the making of thousands of garments and the donation of clothing by the ton to the Belgians will add to the glorious record of the citizens of WTayne county in giving expression, to their patriotism and interest in "the greatest war in the history of the world to determine whether might or right shall rule the world. Wayne county can be proud of her record in her contribution of 2,500 soldiers and the support given them in the generous contribution of money.

Confidence is the keynote in successful advertising.

CONSTRUCT LARGE TYPE OF ORDNANCE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The army arsenal at Watervliet, N. Y-is now equipped to manufacture guns uo to 18 inch calibre, Major General C. C. Williams, chief of ordnance, said today in his annual report to the secretary of war. No details were given to indicate whether construction of this large type of ordnance is contemplated.

MAY RE-ARRANGE REVENUE DISTRICTS

' .' (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. Internal

revenue collection districts may be j re-arranged during the next year to J make boundaries coincide with state lines, Internal Revenue Commissioner j Roper announced today. ;

Experience gained and careful analysis of existing conditions," said Mr. Roper "warrants the belief that superior efficiency will result from an alignment of the collection districts to coincide geographically with state lines, assigning one district to every state and two to several of the more populous and larger revenue producing states." In addition that plan now being developed contemplates sub-division of collection districts, arranged according to units of population, with a deputy collector in charge, stationed at the most central city. The cost of collecting taxes last year was $12,003,00,0, or one-third of one percent of all collections, as compared 'with $7,699,000 or nearly one percent o collections, the year previous, Commissioner Roper announced.
