Johnson For Prosecutor Kent has a candidate for one of the most important of the county offices, to whom-voters should give serious consideration. This man is Britton S. Johnson, present county prosecuting attorney, and candidate for election this fall for this office. In the short time he has held the office he has given careful ' and conscientious attention to its work and discharged his duties with ability and fine judgment. Not only has his education and training been such as to eminently qualify him for the work in hand, but his associates endorse him highly. Mr. Johnson is making his campaign on the basis of his actual experience, hot only as a practicing lawyer, but as a public servant. For over 20 years he has been engaged in the profession of law, most of the time in Portage county. He feels that he is familiar with the county's needs and the sentiment of its citizens on public questions. His four years in the office of the attorney general of the state, three years as Kent city solicitor and a term as mayor of Kent have been excellent training in the administration of government affairs.Mr. Johnson points with satisfac-' tion to his record as prosecutor since last January. He prosecuted 57 cases in probate and magistrates courts, collecting fines and costs totalling $16,817, up to Sept. 1. Since Sept. 1 he has prosecuted 70 such cases, collecting $20,789 in fines and costs. There has also been collected $2,440 in delinquent taxes and penalties, making a total revenue of $40,-046.33. During that time the operating expense for this office has been f about $12,000, giving the county a decided surplus. In common pleas court 18 convictions with sentence were secured. Ten cases were nolled. Over 150 cases were prepared and presented to the grand jury in which 30 "no bills" were returned. A number of cases remain undisposed of for various reasons. - , In addition to this he has passed on various financial transactions for township trustees and boards of education and acted as advisor for all and various county officials. He has also attended all hearings in Juvenile . court. . , . A LASTING GIFT. Mrs. H. O. Dunbar, her sister, has written to Mrs. Emma Stokes, thanking her for a birthday present 52 times a year sent to her in Detroit: "You said you hoped I should enjoy my present. Indeed, I shall, for am I not getting 52 instead of 1. You know the song, 'Moonlight and Roses Bring Memories of You,' but I say Friday and the Tribune bring memories of you; Many, many thanks." C. E. SWIGART TALKS TO THE HAYSEED CLUB, RANDOLPH C. E; Swigart was called to Randolph last Wednesday where he gave a talk to the Hayseed club on "Roadside Marketing." He gave a splendid talk on this most interesting subject. Many Fooled by Extra Paper Fake One of the rawest fakes pulled off in Kent in a long time was sprung here Monday morning when newsboys sold an "extra" of an Akron daily, advertising it by shouting that an "entire Kent family was killed." There was nothing in the paper at all about a Kent family. Those who bought the paper were disgusted and some demanded their money back. When citizens remonstrated with one of the newsboys, he tried to bluff it out by hunting for the "news." Of course he couldn't find it. "Well, they told me to holler that but," was his alibi. The fake left a distinctly sour taste in the mouth of Kent people and the Akron newspaper certainly gained no good-will. Add One More to Local P. O. Force Postmaster W. W. Reed received notice from Washington, Saturday, that an additional clerk had been assigned to the Kent postoffice, effective Nov. 1. Oliver W. Wolcott, who has been on duty as a substitute for the last vear and a half, was immediately appointed as the new regular clerk. The appointment as a substitute goes to Walter Stribley. Continued increase in the receipts and business in the office made this necessary. APPLE CREEK DEFINITELY CHOSEN FOR NEW HOME With authorization to the State Highway department to purchase 700 acres of land at Apple Creek, Wayne county, the State Board of Control has made it certain that the site will be chosen for a new hospital for feeble minded. Agreement has been made for the purchase of this number of acres at an average price of $108 per acre. Some difficulty is being experienced in convicting other property owners that their price is too high, and condemnation proceedings may be necessary before the deals are finally closed. It is said that the owners of large tracts have come to satisfactory agreement with the state for the purchase of their property, the delay now being caused by the owners of two or three small tracts which are so situated that they must be included in the proposed institution property. McCAKi'Y-LEAolJRE. , Mr. Wm. T. McCarty and Miss Leah Leasure were married Saturday at 4 p. m. by Rev. J. H. Hull at his residence. Mr. McCarty is the electrician at the Erie railroad shops.

Diltz property, East College ave., and will establish his business office there at once as headquarters for his transfer and coal business.In the near future he plans to erect a modern fire-proof storage plant on this site. While definite plans have not been made it will probably go up in the spring. Until recently Mr. Horning has had his business located in the Cunningham a building, on Columbus street, later using the corner room in the Opera House block as office. Planted a Red Oak. Officials of the Pan American Union meeting in Philadelphia to celebrate Pan American day at the Ses-qui Centennial, Oct. 22, planted a fine specimen of Red Oak tree in Independence Square, and name it "Pan America," according to William W. Matos, representing Mayor W. Free- land Kendrick, on the committee of arrangements. Secretary of State, Hon. Frank L. Kellogg, and Dr. L. S. Rowe, President of the Union, accompanied the diplomatic representatives of South and Central America to Philadelphia and participate in the tree planting and other ceremonies of the day commemorating the birth of democracy in America. Significant of the cfose interpeta-tionship of the twenty-one member-republics of the Pan American Union, is the fact that the tree selected by Pan America is of the same variety as those recently chosen bv the National association of Gardeners to represent the Thirteen-Original Colonies in the place where American independence and liberty were born. "The Red Oak was chosen because it is long lived and typical of the sturdy qualities of the pioneer set tlers in all America," he added. In planting the Pan American tree, diplomats of Latin America are fol lowing the patriotic service of the National association of Gardeners and allied organizations which planted Thirteen-Original-Colony-Trees on Oct. 11, to mark the 150th anniver sary of the signing of American Independence.'Congressman Martin L. Davev. of Kent, O., originator of the idea, presented a bronze name-plate for each of the thirteen trees, in memory of his father, John Davey, first American tree surgeon. ARMISTICE DAY.

The game will start at 2:30 o'clock. A dinner in the evening will be held at the Roosevelt high school cafeteria at 5:30 o'clock p. m. ' The homecoming dance will be held at 8 o'clock p. m. in the school g"m. The Alumni association reports that last year, due to weather conditions, an operating deficit of $600 was created. The Athletic association still owes $900. It is noped that the sale of booster tickets for the homecoming game may clear these debts. The alumni committee in charge of affairs for the da- includes Congressman Martin L. Davey, 1900; Glen H. Reed, chairman, lull; Glen F. Bech- Florida Moss. Glen Grace A speed-way within a city. Visitors to DeLand are amazed when they drive within our gates. In the residence district a sign greets them which reads "Forty Miles an Hour." This speed limit, by the way, is in effect in front of my home which is four blocks from the center of busi ness. Two blocks from the business section is another sign, "Twenty Five Miles." At the next block is a sign "Ten Miles." This extraordinary traffic arrangement in a small city has done just what critics said it would not do. Instead of establishing a dangerous menace to the well-being of the people of our city, the plan has awakened an extreme show of courtesy on the part of the visitors and residents who drive cars. Since I came here I have not heard of a single accident where a pedestrian was struck by a car on the main thoroughfare. There have been no hit-skip accidents. I have witnessed a few rather severe smash-ups within the citv but in every case' they were due to irresponsible persons who did not observe stop signs. Drivers here more than elsewhere, are from every corner of the country. In view of this, the plan worked out here seems to prove that courtesy on the part of a citv awakens a full measure of humanity in the breast of the much hounded driver. Florida papers gave considerable play to their heaviest type in announcing the earthquake scare in Frisco. Immediately below the heading was the smaller announcement: "Hurricane narrowly misses Florida." Such is life. Those in Ohio who have been making use ot the vibratory device of Dr. Abrams will be interested in knowing that a DeLand doctor who has been experimenting for a time has succeeded in using a like device for locating pockets of crude oil. This week before a large crowd he located a bottle of oil hidden several squares away in a water tower by a committee. The bottle was also lowered in an artesian well. With the aid of a transit level and the radio-active device, the doctor not only located the specimen but also gave the depth where it was suspended. The instrument resembles a radio and quite convinced the Chamber of Commerce and other onlookers that there was considerable merit in its pretensions. The vibratory , rate has also been obtained of diamonds Ohio, making the presentation planted in Independence Square, to the original Colonies. Ledger Photo Service tie, treasurer, 1918; E. F.

When Ravenna High football team comes here Saturday to play Roosevelt for the Homecoming attraction, the outcome of the battle may be a matter of luck. In the Niles game Captain "Cocky" Kilbourne suffered a serious injury to one of his arms and while he played through the game, it was a much dis abled player. The injury may put him out of the game Saturday, or even if he plays, handicap him. Roosevelt without Kilbourne will be much weakened, though several of the other players are good enough to make things lively at that. Ravenna, too, is playing better ball and will be specially prepared for the Kent battle. Unprejudiced observers, therefore, say anything can happen when the two teams meet. and various other minerals. There are interesting possibilities ahead in the use of the device, in the opinion of citizens who witnessed the demonstration.Bond is Filed For Aurora Sewer Pay A surety bond of $150,000 was filed with the county commissioners Monday by the Aurora Land Company, to guarantee the assessments on the improved property of the Aurora Sanitary sewer district. An arrangement has also been made to deliver a cash deposit of $34,000 to the county commissioners as an added guarantee and safeguard. Following this piece of legislation several bonding houses presented their verbal bids for the proposed certificate of indebtedness in the amount of $280,000, proposed to be sold by the board for this project. The firm of Blanchet-Bowman and Wood, of Toledo were the highest bid ders for the certificates offering 5 per cent and par. The board also received a petition for a county ditch through lots 34 and 37 in Suffield, signed by Wilbur Rhodes of Mogadore. The commissioners will view the project November 16. A resolution was adopted for extra work on I. C. H. No. 12, section 2 of the Streetsboro road. The legislation calls for the lengthening of two culverts. The state and county are to split the costs. ARMISTICE FOOTBALL GAME ROOSEVELT VS. BEDFORD Portage Post, American Legion, is rapidly completing plans for a gala-day in Kent on Armistice day, Nov. Following the parade, which will start downtown early in the afternoon, and end at Bowers Field at 2:30 p. m., the crowd will be entertained with a real football classic. Roosevelt high school of Kent and Bedford high school, two strong prep teams, will clash. Both teams have won all their games so far this year and are bidding for the championship of the Trolley league. The coaches of both teams are pointing their men for this game and spectators are going to see a real fight. Everybody in Kent is looking forward to Armistice day with keen anticipation. Everybody is invited to join in the parade, attend the football game in the afternoon, and the Legion Dance at night. Some real surprises in the way of entertainment are promised at this dance, which will be held in Wills Gymnasium. Lemon's twelve-piece orchestra will play.

Dispute About Building Right Reaches Court Controversy over the propsed erection of a building on East Main St., near the college grounds, has resulted in two suits in court. The city of Kent, through its solicitor, C. H. Curtiss, has brought suit against R. L., D. D. and Bertha Dona-ghy, to enjoin them from erecting a business structure in an exclusively residential section of the city as defined in a recent ordinance of the city council. The location of the proposed building is at the southwest corner of East Main street and Lincoln. City building inspector J. J. McKinney is made a party to the suit, it being requested that he be enjoined from granting a further permit for erection of the building. In another suit, E. R. Steiner, proprietor of the College Book Store, is asking the court to restrain R. L. Donaghy from using the adjoining property, for competitive mercantile business. Plaintiff alleges that defendant's deed specifically defines the restriction he complains is being violated.The property in question is the Lawrence property facing East Main, st. Excavation has already been made for the basement. Petitions for holding a referendum I election on the zoning ordinance have been in circulation and were liberally signed. At a meeting of the trustees of Kent State Normal last week a resolution was passed expressing ap-precation of the efforts of the city officials in the passing of the zoning ordinance and to develope the college district. Killed a Wolf. Residents of the Sandy Lake section, southeast of Kent, were relieved last week, when they learned that the animal that had been terrifying that district had been destroyed. It was shot by Wallie Basel at hia home Wednesday night and pronounced a coyote or wolf. The animal had been committing depredations for several weeks. It destroyed many dollars worth of poultry for Ed. Steffy, also some for Henry Bauer and Mr. Basel. Several had seen the animal and others heard it at work among the chickens. Mr. Basel was awakened by a noise about 11 o'clock and looked out to see the animal lapping milk from a dish. ,. He then shot it. It weighed nearly 30 pounds and had every appearance of the wolf, being gray streaked in color, unlike any dogs. It wore a collar about its neck and is believed to have escaped from captivity. George Reynolds, who has been in the West, saw the body and pronounced it a wolf without doubt. Its body attracted many sightseers to the Basel home.

The hatchery is being constructed by tne cmppewa Lake F&rk company and will be located near the C. & S. W. railway tracks and the Chippewa Lake road. "This hatchery will be modern in every way and we hope to be able to produce about 100,000 baby bluegill fish each year," says A. M. Beach. manager. "While Chippewa lake is plentifully stocked with black bass it must be admitted that the average man who likes to fish is not very successful in catching black bass. It takes a thoroughly experienced fisherman to catch bass and as most of those visiting Chippewa Lake are not this type they don't enjoy good fishing. The blue-gill fish on the other hand is a real game fish and while giving a fisherman as much of a thrill as a bass, bite more quickly and are much more desirable for hshing purposes for the average fisherman than bass. We know that when we have stocked Chippewa lake with blue-gill hsh that all of the amateur fishermen are going to enjoy much more sport." The park company expects to have this blue-gill fish hatchery in opera tion shortly and to start stocking the lake with these fish early next spring. ; - ; 1 ; ; ; - ; ' ' - I -
