Workers at the Ohio Quarries company and at the Cleveland Stone company left their work Monday demanding a wage Increase, which nearly shut down the Ohio Quarries and left the Cleveland Stone company to work with the greatly reduced force 'Employees of the Ohio Quarries company are asking an Increase of 16 cents per hour and employees of the Cleveland Stone company are asking an Increaae of 10 cents per hour. About 125 men are out on a strike from the Ohio Quarries and the number out at the Cleveland Stone company has not aa yet been determined.

Strikes or strike talk Is an almost annual April occurance. Usually a comprlmise Is made and sometimes the strike lasts several weeks. Gradually th« quarry workers have secured a shorter working day and a more respectable pay than in the years past As a result of the strikes many expert quarry workera have shifted employment to the local quarries. Quarry work is a seasonable occupation and as such the men contend that they are entitled to a wage according to the same basis as the miners, carpenters and other crafts which work la only steady for a portion of the year..

NEEDLECRAFT CLUB MEETS LOCAL DEALER STRONG FOR FORDS WEEKLY PURCHASE PLAN Th Ford weekly purchaae plan Is going to be a boon to many families and permit them to buy a car much quicker than they ever dreamed, Hugh Gawn, local Ford dealer said In ills- cnusslng the new plan which is creat- whlch Is being enthusiastically received everywhere. "In my experience as a Ford dealer, and I believe that it Is true that every every other dealer and salesman as well, I have met many persons who expressed their desire to own a Ford, and who frankly told me that somehow they never could get together money to make the initial payment on one. "The result was, of course, that they went on wanting a car and hoping that some day something would turn up whereby they could get a car. "Now that 'something' has turned up. The Ford weekly purchase plan simplifies it all and makes It easier to come into the ownership of a car. "In this constructive automobile buying in the simplest and easiest form and presents to oountless families all over the country the long wished for opportunity of enjoying motor car benefits and pleasures. "And one of the most appealing features of the plan It that It is adaptable to the means of practically everyone. The Weekly payments, which are deposited to the credit of the customer in the bank and draw Interest at the regular savings rate, may be fixed to suit the desires of each purchaser. The Needlecraft club of St. Joseph's Catholic church was entertained at the home of Mrs. Wm. Baker, on Jackson street yesterday afternoon. The afternoon was spent In needlework, after which refreshments were serv- de by the hostess. S. S.

The Oberltn Dramatic association has established a reputation, far beyond that of the ordinary college dramatic club and have made extensive tours in both the east and west. The club carries its own scenery and other stage property which tends to add to the affect of the plays. The Bugle Staff, in getting the Oberlin players here feel that they are affording the people of Amherst an excellent opportunity to see and hear the best plays by a talented group of actors. This fact merits a large attndance. Funeral services for the late Mrs. M. Peabody were conducted from the home at Henrietta Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Kearn of Brownhelm officiating.
