Chairman C. W. Studer made arrangements for the program. That current labor difficulties are not new to this generation is amply Ulustrated for 91 years ago, back in 1848, Perrin, in his history of Stark county reveals that a Mr. Ball started making reapers in the nearby community of Greentown, Anxious to display this latest in- "ention to farmers, one of the machines was taken over to Louisville where a public exhibition of its then marvelous operation drew a large crowd of men, women and children. The farmers saw with great astonishment how easily the standing grain went down before it. Consequently the owner of the field in which it was being demonstrated bought the machine. But here he ran in difficulty. Cradlers Oppose Purchase His cradlers were bitterly opposed to the purchase declaring that it would leave them, like Othello, without occupation. In order to restore peace to the village it was necessary to return it to Mr. Ball. History does repeat itself, as human nature is the same the world over, and as history is but a record of human experience and achievements, this incident proves that labor troubles are years old. Not only did the men have to fight for an existence against the inroads of machinery but the manufacturer had to battle as well for maintenance. The motor for Mr. Ball's reaper was a horse named Prince. We're told Uiat the old horse was apparently- subject to fits, sometimes running the machine up to a rapid pace, and then suddenly lowering the speed so that it barely moved. Since it was desirable to elminate this difficulty a ten horse power motor was purchased at Cuyahoga Falls for $400 which proved to be a great improvement over Prince. . ■—o Moose Women Hold Patriotic Program Washington and Lincoln's Birth Anniversaries Celebrated The birthday anniversaries of Washington and Lincoln were observed as part of the patriotic program held by the Women of the Moose of the Canton chapter at their meeting Monday evening with Mrs. Cora Fitzkee, senior regent, presiding over the business session.

K. Hummel At Regular Monthly Gathering "New Methods of Fishing" was the theme of the talk given members of the Anglers Club of North Canton by M. K.
