PRICE. $!.50A y e a r PARKINGRULES CHANGEDMONDAY BYCOUNCIL At the regular monthly meeting of council Monday evening hills to the amount of $5,800 were allowed and ordered paid, If such a sum had been' allowed ten or twelve years ago the total amount in the village treasury would have been spent a tj . one time, Most of the $5,800 went to pay off bonds and interest for the brick paving, the money representing only ‘he collective payments of property owners. The final payment for the South Main street, paving will bo made next year, and the property owners will be relieved. The improvement has stood the test and has -been very sat­ isfactory to property owners. It has been an economical proposition for the village, just as any paved street properly put down is.. No city or village ever took a backward step when streets were given a- perman­ ent improvement. • Council instructed the street com­ mittee to change the plan of parking on Main street between the bridge and Xenia avenue. In a few" days the street will be marked for head-in parking on the East side, of the street parallel on the west side of -the street parking on the bridge. A few months ago council paid the last bond standing against the village, the one issued, for the motor fire en­ gine, This was another money saver and kept about $50 ■a month in the treasury that had previously been required for upkeep of the steamer.

Dr, J. Wesley Scott. Often after midnight dreary, as I strive for slumber, weary From a thousand business worries that keep nagging o'er and o'er, As I'm nodding, nearly sleeping, thru the stillness there comes creep’s Wifey’s voice in anguish weeping—weeping at my chamber door— Fully dressed, yet softly weeping—weeping a t my chamber door— "Help me, Hubby, I implore!” * Righteous wrath I strive to muzzle, as I note the cross-word puzzle, Marred with many a sad erasure, tear-stained, crumpled on the floor, And I know the drear tomorrow will bring no surcease of sorrow, For fresh trouble the will borrow—delving in mystic lore, . When the daily cross-word puzzle will be left beside our door, , Simply that, and nothing more, And I know I’ll rise in sadness, for opr home in this new madness, Has no longer touch of gladness—gladness as it had before. For no meals await my coming, and no cheerful voice is humming, But with absent-minded drumming with her pencil o’er and o’er, Wifey sits with books surrounded, just outside my chamber door, Thihking, thinking—nothing more.. And my ruddy health is fleeting', forJin restaurants I’m eating, Eating strange and weird concoctions I have never touched before, And my shoulders now are sagging, and my trousers sadly bagging, While my footsteps slow are lagging as I turn toward my door— Footsteps once that rang with vigor As I walked across the floor, Now are lagging, evermore. Ah, distinctly I remember, it was early in December;. And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor, When in madness overtook her, when this cross-word puzzle shook her, Gently in my arms I took.her, saying “Humbly I implore, Let not puzzles wreck the reason of the wife thatJ[ adore, Drop it'now, forevermore!” . But she only tried beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, Laughing a t the grim decorum of the countenance, I bore. 'Tho ’ you croak like Poe’s old Raven, you, I’m sure, are still no craven, And at Patton there’s a "haven when my reason is no more. There in padded cell they’ll keep me, bolts and bars upon the door, Working puzzles' evermore.” . And my wife, never quiting, still is sitting, still is sitting, With my Webster’s pages ruined from much turning o’er and o’er, While I wander weak and weary, hearing never word that’s cheery, Thru a house that’s sad and' dreary, papers knee-deep on the floor— Papers full of cross-word puzzles, lying knee-deep on the floor— Simply that, and nothing more. Oh, ye gods and little fishes,, when will'wifey wash the dishes, When will wifey cook a'dinner as she used to cook before? I Tel! me, Edgar Allen’s Raven, with thy crest all shorn and shaven, For I know thou a rt no craven—Tell>me truly, I implore, Will her mind return to normal? Will she greet me as of yore? ’ Quoth the Raven—“Nevermore!” ’ your pants up with *-■—— —~ j penders, while you put your feet in- , to Hammon, Hanover and Douglas' Governor Donahcy issued a procla- gj10eg *mation Saturday designating April 26 Advertising has put you in a r a tt-I to May 2 as “Boys’ Week”.
