WILLIAM ROBERTSON
' DIES MONDAY
William Robertson, aged 44 years,
died at his home oil Tenney avenue
Monday afternoon at one o'clock following an'Illness of about two years
duration.,
The deceased was born In Klrkaldy,
Scotland on July 3, 1878. He was
'married there on June 6, 1902 to Miss
Isabell Burnett and later moved to
this country settling In Cleveland in
1904. For eight years they made their
home In Cleveland, coming to Amherst
In 1918. Since that time the deceased
had warked for the Ohio Cut Stone
company, at their plant on Franklin
avenue until his health prevented him
from working.
Mr. Robertson Is survived by his
wife, two daughters and one son.
His mother, three brothers and three
sisters also survive.
The funeral services were conducted
from the home of James Qourley on
Milan avenue this afternoon, the Rev.

DIRT STREETS TO
BE SCRAPED
' At the meeting ef the -councU, Toes-
day evening, Mayor J. J. Smythe, was
authorized to hire men to scrape all
dirt streets In the town, in order to
keep them In a passable condition.
An estimate on the cost of repairing Crownlllll avenue also was presented. The plaus, as laid out by the
council Is to ask the property owners
on that street stand part ot the ex-
peiiBe of the Improvement. A road,
with an eight Inch sandstone base and
a four Inch slag top will cost 76 cents
per front foot. The council feel that
such a road would be almost permanent and that If the property owner
would co-operate with them In this
Improvement, It could be carried out
to a great advantage.

According to Postmaster Coburn the
sales of Treasury Certificates at the
Amherst post office amounted to {1,100
"The steady and Increasing sale of
Treasury Savings Certificates is one
indication that the people of this
community have, to a certain extent
cut their wisdom teeth ho far as "get
rich-quick" stock selling schemes are
concerned," stated postmaster Coburn.
"Notwithstanding the fact that much
effort has been put forth to protect
the innocent investor from the wiles
of the smooth-talking "fake-stock"
salesman, thousands of people stU>
continue to pay over good money in
exchange for worthless pieces ot paper
on glittering promises."
In warning the owners of Victory
Notes bearing the prefix letters G to L
called tor redemption May 20, not to
trade them for stock of doubtful value,
postmaster Coburn urges that these
notes be exchanged In whole or In part
for Treasury Savings Certificates
which can be secured at the post
office in denominations of $1,000, $100
and $25.    •

ADAM WEI88  IS
HONORED ON  BIRTHDAY
On Sunday Mrs. Adam Weiss was
honored at her home on Park avenue
when several friends gathered to celebrate her birthday anniversary. A
delicious dinner was served in the
dining room which was decorated for
the occasion. Two elaborate birthday
cakes containing lighted tapers adorned the table.
Mrs. Weiss received a number of
gifts in honor ot the occasion.
Insufficient Training
(EDITORIAL)
Our attention has been called to the fact, that the events listed In the
program for tho county school field meet, which is to be held In Elyrla tomorrow are entirely out of the ordinary for students from a small high
school.
The first objection Is the mile bicycle race and tbe mile and the half-
mile runs. Using local Information, It has been found that contestants in
the above mentioned events have not been properly trained for thum. These
events are loo strenous for u boy under sixteen years of age, unless he
has been trained for several weeks previous to the staging the event.
The matter of letting a student enter all of the events has also received
opposition, owing to the fact that there are so many events snd all of them
equally strenuous.
Your physician, if you will ask him, would tell you that there are but a
tew boys of high school age that are able to stand the exertion ot field
events' unless they have been previously trained.
Undoubtedly, tomorrow will be g big day in the lite ot every school student, but If It should ruin the health of those boys and girls who are to
take part in the athletic events, because of tusulTlclent training and p>or
selection of events, this third annual field day meet might prove so bone
'flclal as expected.
Local school authorties are not to blame for thla condition as much aa
the county olllclals, for it is the latter who outlines the events and lays
down the rules under which they are staged.
Athletic coaches in every school know the value of training and If the
student does not train, he is not entered In tbe events. This system would
be proper to govern the flefd day meet tomorrow, from the viewpoint ot
safe guarding the students' health.
