Old Wapak Had Cards Stacked

Ceiina will not entertain the North
western Ohio volunteer firemen in
1911, but it is no fault of Ceiina boos
ters. The crowd that went to Ottawa
Wendesday were simply up against it.
They made the natives sit up and take
notice not only in Put Handles' town,
but all along the line, but when it
came to counting noses at the show
down old Wapak had the convention
stowed away in its strong boi and the
lid screwed down.
Ceiina boosters were handicapped by
not having an organization, but it is
not likely to happen again, and when
1912 rolls around Ceiina will be found
entertaining the volunteer firemen in
such a manner that Wapak will never
again be In it.

The Jefferson township Sunday,
school convention assembled in the M

12. There was a fair attendance and
splendid interest. The exorcises were
opened with a song, and prayer by
Mrs. Stephenson.
Mrs. Lutz, who attended the interna
tional Sunday-school convention held
in the city of Washington, gave a full
report of the proceeding of that body,
which has accomplished such vast
things for the Sunday-school interests
of the whole world.
Dr. J. M. Anderson then spoke on
one phase of the report, deploring the
fact that so many of the pupils of the
Sunday-school do not remain for the
church service afterward. K. K.Ste
phenson, Mrs. Chas. Bennett, Mrs.
Hammer and Mr. Fennig also spoke
on various phases of the same question.
There was just enough difference of
opinion among the speakers to give
life to the discussion, and in the final
outcome all were in agreement, as was
shown by the show of bands called for
by Dr. Anderson.
The evening session was opened by a
song and prayer by Dr. Bennett. This
was followed by a beautiful anthem
by the choir. Dr. Bennett then spoke
earnestly of the vital needs of the Sun
day-school, and what it needs to make
it all it should be. He was followed
by J. W. Loree in a forcible speech,

Gum Baker, of Willshire, wa ar
rested by Constable Coates last Satur
day night on an affidavit of Balwin

ing him with stealing a pair ol
trousers, a knife and a pipe, val
ued in all at $3.45, while tbey

Adolpb of the dear old Observer has
heard some more telephone gon.lp over
Line 2 In Wsihlnitton town.hip. and tbe
dope caused Adolpb to throw another fit
last week. In the last Issue Adolpb and hi.
tand-pat friend could only count 87 phone
ubscrlber. on 2-the week previous It had
4. Now, U these wise ones could count and
wouldnt set lost, we would have them ng.
ure how many mile, of line 20 contain-
get 21-strung through bu.be. and tree-tops
-for tbe linemen to get over when there l.
trouble. Line 28 i. good deal like every
other country line. When the phone bell
rings about two dozen or more receiver,
drop and the batterle. of the patron, are
soon exhausted, especially on SB. M'e leave
It to an, one acquainted with the telephone
business and with brain, enough to tbluk
tbls.of course, exclude. Adolph and hi,
Pal-whethera telephone Hue under such
condition can be operated .ucce.sfully and
give aatlsfactor, .ervloe. But the Observer
still dream, that .pile work was at the hot
torn it. but the good Lord .hould have mer.
cy on it. narrow little oul. The dope from
Line 2 Intimate, that the there is a lack of
harmony between the officers of the general
and local-wblch exists only m the mind of
dope fiend. The president of the general
organization wa. consulted before any wire
wa. touched, and he was also full and well
aware that If 26 wa. divided equally, with
an exchange on both end., they could and
would have equally good service, which
every intelligent phone .ubscrlber admits.
Aaoiph and the stand-patter on M .Mil
dream dream, that the officer, on Wabash
local took the responsibility on themselves.
