OBERLIN COLLEGE OFFERS
PROTECTION TO SMYRNA REFUGEES.
WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE8
We find upon reading publications
from other towns and cities, that we
are not the only ones that are advocating the elimination of betting at
scholastic  games.
The Lorain Times-Herald published
un article last week on the same subject.
Tho contents of the article stated
that the senate of Lorain High school
was making an attempt to do away
with betting at their games, owing
to the large amount of money which
changed bands at the Koraln-Oberlln
game played at Lorain lust Saturday.
The Elyrla ChronicVTelegram also
tame out with an article*, in an uttepmt
to atop such betting.
If tho newspapers of the county and
state, who represent the people, or
claim to, are endeavoring to eliminate
the present conditions, they need only
the support of one element to accomplish their uiniH. That element la
the FANS.
The fan who goes to u gume to see
see his team win. receives the most
benefit, but the fan who goes to win
or lose money, which ever the case
might be, fails to receive the benefit
of clean sports and at tbe same time
i is undermindiug the* mlndw of the
lyoung people there.
Every boy and girl must indulge in
some kind of sport, uud that Is why
'the schools have taken it up. The
school rulings, make the contestants
work hurd and give up some of their
'habits which do not go to muke up a
perfect athlete. These rulings make
scholastic contests deun and wholesome. The school authorities and tho
do not want the game's ruined through
purents of the boys and girls who play,
betting.

THE BUS VER8US THE
8TREET  CAR.
Schmauch Brothers, who for the
pust severul years have been holding
the Ford agency in Amherat and In
Oberlin have sold their interests and
have purchased the Lorain agency
which has been held by the Smith
Motor Car Company.
Hugh Oaun has purchased the local
garage and Henry Klermund, former
Amherst man, and Maurice Schubert
have purchased the Oberlln garage.
Mr. Oaun has been connected with
the Smith Motor Car Company for the
past several yeara and Is well acquainted with garage work, especially with
Ford cars. Mr. Gaun is also widely
known in Amherst having lived here
severol years ago.
Mr. Klerimund and Mr. Schubert are
also well known to Amherat people
having been connected with this branch
of the Schmauch Brothers agency.
John Schmauch will head the Loruin garage with d. R. Mitchell as
manager. In taking up the new agency, Mr. Schmauch and Mr. Mitchell
will have an extensive territory to wor"
ln and their past experience will enable them to give Lorain people the
excellent service that has been rendered to many Ford owners In Amherst.
Mr. and Mrs. Schmauch and Mr.
and Mrs. Mitchell expect to move to
iLoraln In the near future.
The local garage will go into the
hands of the new owner the first of
'the week or as near that time as Is
possible.
To maintain the highest pressure
possible for consumers, is the* muin
effort of the Logan Natural das und
Fuel Conipuny. This wus made known
to a representative of the News-Times
recently, when the whole Improved
system of regulation was shown from
the point where the main line is tapped at Foster Park road and North
Ridge, down to the local office.
The company has installed new re-
guluting devises at their three rcgu-
lating stations which Insure the high
eat degree of regulation and Is Intended to keep uu even pressure at ull
times.
The even pressure, however, can
only be had when the compressing
stations are working perfectly. Tlm
company has seven of these compressors, one being located Just north of
Elyrla, near Avon, their purpose being to pump the gus from the field In
West Virginia. If local consumers
were to depend on the natural pressure of the gaa to carry it from the
fields, Amherst would be without gus.
a greater purt of the time.
The cost of Installing one of these
compressors, requires un Investment of
$160,000 to $200,000 and is the only
*way In which natural gas can be
brought to this part of the state*
The company Is now serving some
eighty-six communities in Ohio and
eastern Indiania, und iu order to do
this, their seven compressing stations,
together with the latest In regulating devices must be in working order,
and constantly looked after every hour
of the day and  night
John Fritz, locul manager gives out
the information thut the company will
make every effort to serve consumers
with gus this winter, but us a precaution against any difficulty In the system, all consumers should have a supply of fuel ou hand for heating purposes.

i     The   Cleveland   Southwestern   Rail-
American   Wlly Company lias adopted every possible means to cut down expense and
ut  the  sume  time  give  the  people of
Amherst good service.   The Bus mana-
. gars have ulso set prices for transpor-
' tatlOD   which   ure   e oiisidcruble   lower
thun   street   car  rate*  or  in   order  to
i give   i* ople   an   opportunity   to   ride
| more  cheuply   and   at   the  same   time
; give good  service.
Either tbe street car or the bus
1 must go. Figures prove thut neither
the street cars or the buses cun operate
' profitably while one or the other are
I ou  the roud.
The question which arises is this:
which do you want, the street cur or
the bus?
It has been hoped the council would
take aome action on the matter by
stopping tbe buses from running into
Amherst or to permit them to run
indefinitely.
Street car officials cluim that the
buses do not offer fuir competition, In
thut they run a few more minutes before the atreet cur and use us their
stations, street cur stops and waiting
rooms. They further state, that it the
village council does not stop the buses
from running Into Amherst they will
huve to leave.
Do you want the street cur to pick
up and leave town after it haa aided ln
the growth of the sandstone center
of the world, or do you want the buses
to stay?
