After several long years of disadvantages, embarrassments and thousands
of other hindrances, the stage In the
town hall Is to be all decked out with
new scenery and a new curtain In the
near future.
A representative of the Twin City
Scenery company waa In Amherst laat
Thursday night and had with him
miniature stage settings and scenery.
The town ball committee from the village council and Lewis Kothe of the
township trustees, together with Fred
R. Powers, superintendent ot the local
schools, met at tbe town hall and decided to buy a new curtain and two
new stage settings.
The front curtain, which waa ordered. Is made of velour and It will bo
Installed so aa It can be separated In
the middle and drawn to the sides by
a single rope.
The stage settings ate one interior
and one garden or lawn scene. These
are arranged so as to eliminate ropes
and props and will stand where put
without affording any inconveniences.
Just when the new scenery will arrive here is not known but it is expected to be here before the winter
months so as to be of use to organizations wishing to put on plays and entertainments this winter.
The cost of the new scenery is over
$600 and will be covered by the village council and the township trustees.
The men who are responsible for
this should be complimented, as the
new scenery will afford a neat looking stage and will tend to promote
better entertainment in Amherst.

candidate for congress in Tuesday's
primary, said before leaving:
"The result of Tuesday's vote shows
the influence of money. As for my
part, iny campaign was waged clean
and on issues that are vital to the public welfare and not the special interests. Personally, I would never think
of insulting the American voter by
any but honorable and upright appeals. That, In the end, is always
bust.
"The vote in Lorain county, and
particularly that In my home town,
was u complete refutation thut 'a
prophet is not without honor in his
own country.' I certuinly am not unmindful of the loyalty . shown aud
more deeply feel than I am able to
express my gratitude.
"It wub service, efficiency, honesty

of the 14th district und it would huve
been given uustlntingly hud I been successful. The* result shows thut Lo
ruin, .Medina anel Portuge counties
huve no interests thut ure co-related
vtlth those of Summit, where more
votes were cast than ln thi remain*
der of the district. Doubtless before
the next campaign the public interest
will be so aroused that u rearrange-
ment of the district will be demanded.
"Again I wish to thank my many
friends for tbe loyul support, and
trust that my conduct iu the future*,
as in the pust, ewUL warrant a continuation of such loyalty us was manifest   in   the   primary  vote.
Poorly Directed Traffic at Church Street Intersection
STIWALD
SHOES
SHUT OUT AT DOVER
The Stiwald Shoes baseball team
were defeated when they met the Dover A, O.'s at Dover Sunday afternoon by a score of 3-0.
The game was a pitchers' battle
throughout and both hurlars displayed
excellent form, Bruce striking out
fourteen batters and allowing but two
bits and his opponent allowing but
oua kit.
An existing condition in Amherst's
traffic regulations may cause serious
accidents to pedestrians as wail aa to
motor vehicle* If aome change dee*
not take place in the near future.
The above statement refera to th*
intersection of Church sti-eet and
Cleveland svenue.
A great many motor vehicles going
west on Cleveland avenue, with the
Intention of turning south on Church
street take the wrong aide of the
street as enn be seen at moat any
tlm*. On the other hand, motor vehicles going north on Church street
with the intentions of turning eaat on
Cleveland avenue take the right aid*
of the street, which, of course, la proper, but dangerous, th* danger being
that a vehicle turning    into    Church
street and not observing proper traffic regulation* make* It almoat Impos-
sibl* to got his side of th* street before going several yards.
Other than being dangerous to occupants of th* motor vehicle*, the
lives of pedestrians ar* also in dan-
gar, due to th* fact that driver* of ve-
hide* mak* no *ign of their Intention
to turn from  on* "itreet  to another.
On several occasions, during heavy
traffic, It ha* been noticed that poo-
pi* have b**n obliged to wait on account of th* excess speed of some
drivers and by th* failure of th* driver* to signify their intentions of turning.
People hav* a perfcet right to cross
th* street at th* proper crossing but
thsy ar* not obliged to wait for traf
fic violator*; therefore making it necessary to hav* some regulation at th*
above mentioned point.
It ha* been suggested and I* maintained as a good solution to the problem to erect a dummy if possible or
to paint lines on th* pavement by
which driven of vehicles must abide.
A dummy, similar to th* one at th*
intersection of Church street and
Park avenue could be placed at some
point near th* center of th* intersection which would slow down trafffic,
f re vent possible serious accidents and
give the pedestrian his right to cross
th*  jtreet.
It is further maintained that NOW
l* th* time to do it, and in Seine It-
do it complete, so that absolute aafety can be assured to all concerned.

COUNTY   FLORISTS MEET  HERE
The Lorain County Florists' association me-t at the home of J. Fuchs a
Sons at Kendeigh's Corners Tuesday
evening. A large number were In attendance and important busiuess was
transacted.
ployed there will be a loss suffered by
the farmers in trying to move the
twelve billion dollar crops now into
the harvest.
Car Shortage Wa* Known
Traffic Manager C. B. Hutcblngs, eg
the Traffic Department of tho Am*rt
can Farm Bureau Federation, attest investigation early In June, aad tatare t
the strike went Into effect, eatimatod a
heaevy car shortage this fall.
The American Railway Association
states! that on June 15 there were
were .'132,681 cars needing repairs,
268,305 of which required heavy repairs. Since then the strike has paralyzed construction and repairs of all
kinds. The association also stated
that the percentage of cars ln bad order on June 1 was 15 per cent. The**
same figures compared with thoae of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
show thut there waa a big backward
movement of repairs of freight equipment from April to June. Thia. toe,
in the fuce of the. fact that the railroads knew from Department of Agri-
culture reports that the biggest crop*
of years would have to be mark feted
this full.
This policy of neglect ot vital rolling stock by the railroads Is only in
line with the financial camouflaef*
shoved down the public's throat hy
as clever a bunch of artists aa ever
drew press agents' salaries.
That "Hard-Time" Talk
lu other words, all the "hard-time"
railroad talk we have heard was
cooked up lu a great propaganda det-
purtmeni and served ut breakfast, dinner uud supper for the last four years
- iu fact, ever since the government
turned the roads back to the prlvat*
owners ufter the war.
The result of this Is, that nine persons out of ten in the United Statee
today believe thut tbe railroad* are In
u terrible plight; that their operating
expenses ure enormous—that freight
rat** ought to be raised If they are
to muke repairs, etc., etc., etc.
It  isn't  true.
The (inures as quoted in the accompanying box show profits of the leading railroads ror 1921. These are their
own figures us quoted by gentlemen oa
Wall Street who are shrdetaoshrdto
Wall Street. The Atchison, Topeka
und Santa Fe has a few gold bond*
ready for absorption. The road operates 11,700 miles of road. In the y*ar
1921 ll cleaned up a profit of $39,931.-
III,    Poor little thing!
Tiie New York Central iu the sauna
yeur made a clean profit ot $22,395,-
686.
The Northern Pacific got away with
a profit of $22,065,339.
No wonder freight ratea ought to
be raised!
Of course when we get into Intricate railroad bookkeeping we annum*
it can be shown tbat black 1* whit*
after the manner of proving th* cat
had ten tails, but, stripped of all Befuddling and specious argument, tha
figure* as quoted seem to be the outstanding facts told briefly.
