D., of the State Department, of Health, , iosues timely advice regarding proper • ventilation of homes at this time of year, when enormous number of colds - and other diseases of the respiratory organs, nose, throat and lungs are pi-eve]ant. Dr. Monger advises pro­ viding an accurate thermometer in each living x-oom. This should always be maintained at 68 to 70 degrees by regulating the' supply of heat and by beeping the windows open slightly, so that the air movement in the rpom may be stimulating and refreshing. The ventilation of the sleeping „or bed­ room is different. Take advantage of the full outdoor, air by having the •windows wide open- and having the •air circulate about the room, which " will' prove very beneficial. It stim­ ulates the nerves in the skin and in­ vigorates the body. Keep, coveted with sufficient v?&nk .bedding’ so -that cold J a not felt.

DISCUSSED BY VILLAGE CDM L Cedarville Hi Gets Cypher For Score Cedarville Hi and a big delegation did all they could to even break in on the score last -Friday against the Springfield. City High School team, an aggregation of fellows that greatly outWeight the locals. The home boys put up a stiff fight with McMillan, Willis-and Abel.

Folson, representing Cole Moore Inc., an engineering'* and finance company of South Bend, Ind., Whs present to interest council and the community in a water works plant. Mr. Folsom at the.present time has plans under way'for consideration in Jamestown and Jeffersonville and went into detail with council as to the different methods in which a plant could be installed. Council ,has the right to issue bonds on the approval o f the electors at a special election and proceed as would anyother project be undertaken by the village, such as paved streets. Council could grant a franchise to any company desired and Jet the com­ pany install the plant, and sell the wa„er to patrons and also to the vil­ lage for fire protection. •Council can install the mains with­ out impairing the credit of the village Toy adopting the assessment plan and the company provide the water tower, power plant and wells, subject to the approval first o f the State Board of Health and later council. Council could collect water rentals and apply the profit towai'ds paying the company, allowing interest charges of six per cent. In nine' cases out of ten these plants all payout in ieBs than ten years. Ho estimates of the probable cost of a plant could be made until a sur­ vey was completed. Council took no action at the meet­ ing other than to gather information. It was decided, that council later hold an open meeting tor discussion of the question with the citizens of the town. A representative.of the Boyd Com­ pany, Columbus, was present to inter­ est ouncil in adopting, the' electric flash light signal system for automo­ bile traffic. He had a sample light in the fire engine room in operation giving an actual demonstration. "The type o f signal is somewhat different than most cities have in that no am­ ber light is provided.

The land is fairly well improved and is one o f the most pro­ ductive in Clark county. The Virginia Joint Stock Land Bank, of Charleston, W* .Va., bid in the land for $1, the mortgages which it held, taxes and' court costs. - lights which make the cost o f opera tion expensive. This lamp has- but two lamps, a-150 watt and a 60 watt. The company null send two lamps hex*e one to be installed at Main and Xenia avenue and the other a t Main and Cliillicothe streets.. The cost of the lamps is $150 each and council pay for installation.' The company is not to be paid until council is satisfied with the operation of the lamps, It is probable that two lamps will be ordered, as soon as arrangements can he made with the Dayton Power & Light Co. for service. The Columbus lamp is a much cheaper.lamp than that of other makes.

A, R. parade. The day was one of Colorado’s finest, fair and halmey, With just enough breeze to keep the flags unfolded in rythmic splendor. Breakfast over, uniforms brushed and furnisher, out on the aide Walks trooped the old soldiers. Into the busi­ ness section o f Denver trooped her home folks. Some 50,000 school room seats were vacated for the day and young America in Denver is out in force for vantage sites for sight see­ ing. , ' •■•.■* ■ Soon you could note the rumble of traffic lessening along the course of the scheduled parade, ‘ In the region of the big hotels the sidewalks was 'often blocked by bands, and fife and drum corps', Michigan veterans pipers and drummers, outstanding musicians, gave a serenade outside the Albany Hotel. After rendering a humdinger o f a number one of the musicans re­ marked, “ Looky herel we’re blocking the sidewalk, maybe we better get out of this,” to which another member of the corps replied, “ never mind that, don’t you know Denver belongs to the D. A* R. today." And you bet he got a hand from the folks, and the fifes and drums stayed on the sidewalk, and all other folks went around on the street. Those fife and drum corp chaps kept things lively all through the down town sections as did hands and bands and bands, from here, there and everywhere. I wonder wfipt things sounded like over the radio that A. M. from Denver. At 10 o’clock the order was given, forward, march, aixd the parade was on the move. A company of mounted'police lead-and pressed its way slowly along the line o f march between sidewalks and curb lines crowded with its thousands of cheer­ ing, hand clapping, hat waving, joy­ ous Denver atxd Coloradoitea, Illinois Department of G, A, R. men were given place at.the processions head,: duo to its Seniority in organisation of the great Civil.

Saji ahoy! The first honest-to-Gosh Pirate of the last hundred years is headed for this port -fuii steam ahead1 This bold buccaneer is the famous Count Luckner, the fabled German “ Sea Devil” of the late war, who sank 500,090 tons* of ships, took hundreds of prisoners without killing a man, and fed his prisoners champagne and cake. He comes with a cargo o f buc- caneering tales—true stories o f dar­ ing war adventure, that rival the wildest dreams of fiction. He will speak at Cedarville, on Thursday, October 25, • „ - You’ll know Count Luckner the moment you see him, A giant of a man, ■with the rough bronzed skirt that characterizes the seaman; the lumbering stride of one who hae spent years aboard ship; a deep resonant voice that is fair competition for a fog-horn; a salty tang about him that you can't mistake. That’s Luckner— the “Sea-Devil!” What a xareey this modern swash­ buckler has crowded into the last fif­ teen years! Don’t fool yourself, he is still %.young man. It was the call o f the sea that lured him away fromv his home and his school, where he had every oppor­ tunity and all the advantages that go with a “noble" family. x For years he sailed the “ Seven Seas,” as kitchen boy, deck-swajher and general roustabout. Anything that the able-bodied, seaman spurned to do was Lucknei-’s job because he .was “ the Kid” and couldn’t take care of himself in fistic competition with husky sailors. r* Once he was literally blown from the.mast and hurled into the wake of the windjammer. He seized the le g .o f an albatross that flew near xim and clung for dear life until' the life-boat picked him *up. Marooried in the tropics he sought storm shelter in a pig-pen, and waS arrested and jailed by the irate Owner on charge Of stealing the pig, - He iumght, for a time was a guard, at the Palace of the president. > He was a bar-boy in San Francisco^ bell-boy in New York, kitchen-boy in Chicago! In Rapgoon he assisted a Hindu fakir; in-New Zealand he waB a Sal-' vation Army recruit; to Queensland ie became the champion prize-fighter! But the experiences of youth— esuatiy romantic and bitter—brought about the awakening of serious-mind­ ed manhood. In three years he Edu­ cated himself by burning the mid­ night oil, Then he tackled the intri- 'eate problems of the mariner—the technical education ' that 'one must have to be an officer. He returned to Germany from the “Port of Missing Men,” secretly took the examinations and was given his commander’s papers, before anyone knew he was the missing Felix von Luckner, long given up for dead, . His story from then on is one of the- real romances of the war! The running 6f the triple-blockade of the Allies; the two years of buccaneering to his famous old wind-jammar “ The Sea Eagle” ; his capture and impris­ onment in Australia; and his escape and 2000 miles journey in a life-boat, with six companions. IPs all history now, authenticated— and rather pleasant history, if yop please—for back o f it all was a fine Humanitarian ideal that this “ friendly enemy” lived up to at all times in fighting his own kind of a War.
