Contributing More Than

North Canton's quota fixed by
Governor Donahey, for the Lorain
victims, $200.
Amount contributed, !*'696.0f'.
Time of canvass, one-half day.
This does not include other sums
of money or clothing sent to Lorain
after word of the devastation had
reached this town.
The Community drive for the relief of Lorain sufferers went over the
top with a collection of $690.06. on a
quota of $200.
On Thursday afternoon, as was announced in The Sun of last week,
about twenty-five ladies met in the
Community Building and after a
short conference started to canvass
^ North Canton with the above results.
Women's Club In Charge
The drive was in charge of The
Women's Club of North Canton and
was most efficiently accomplished.
Every house was reached and owing
to the publicity given the drive by
this newspaper, most of the homes
were opened and waiting residents
were anxiously looking for the solicitors that they might add what they
could to swell the funds for such a
worthy cause.' Many gave clothing,
beside, which has been collected and
shipped by the American Legion
Auxiliary.
No  Deaf  Ears Here
North Canton again has shown that
it never turns a deaf ear to cries for
help. While other towns much larger
than North Canton were debating the
right course to pursue to raise money
for the victims of the storm in Lorain, the women of North Canton, ably
assisted by the business men, got busy
and put the drive over in one-half
day.
Senator Frank Wise's statement
that "the people will come across on
Thursday after they read The Sun
on Wednesday," shows that as a
prophesier Frank is a good one. He
knows this community and he never
knew it to get "cold feet" when a
worthy cause -was presented to the
people.
Everyone  On  the  Job
There are a number of women's
clubs of a social nature in North Canton. And the way they rushed in a
contribution was a splendid example
of good  citizenship.
Of course a number cf contributions
were sent to Lorain from North Canton previous to Governor. Donahey
t fixing a quota for every city, town
and village in the state, so that when
the exact figures are known it will be
found that North Canton not only responded well, but nobly!

EVERYONE HELPS LORAIN
People  Giving  Freely  To  Aid   Residents of Stricken City.
[Special to The Sun]
Columbus, Ohio, July 23—Not in
all the history of Ohio have the people responded more promptly and
more liberally than they have in tendering relief to stricken Lorain and
its vicinity. From every walk in life
there has come gifts of cash that
•were to the limit, and they have been
just as promptly turned over to the
relief committee and without cost
reached ,the Red Cross in charge of
the great work.
It is usual at this time of year that
the office of the Governor be made a
polictical melting pot, but instead of
politicians, it has been relief workers
and agencies which have marshalled
their forces in the oflice of the Ohio
executive. No one would suspect that
this is the year of election of a "President and Governor, and while a few
politicians failed to grasp the necessity for immediate action in the relief campaign, a visit to the office of
Governor Donahey soon impressed the
fact unon them that it was not a
good time to attempt to talk politics.
Governor Donahey, who left his
4 family in New Philadelphia for the
scene of the disaster within a few
hours after it occurred, has worked
night and day to help the stricken
population. Every agency of his office
has been, turned over for relief purposes, and every employee has been
devoting his time and'attention to the
•work. The great carpeted reception
room of the executive office has been
the headquarters of the committee in
charge of the collection of funds, and
telegrams from every nook and corner of the state have poured into the
office. The governor himself has been
at his office from 7 in the morning un-
. til far into the night, not even going

paign, and by his example has inspired others in the work which has
resulted jn Ohio setting a precedent
in relief work that has never been
surpassed.
In addition to the work in the governor's office the state highway, the
welfare, health and other divisions of
the state government has co-operated
to the fullest in bringing about the
splendid result which makes possible
shelter, food an-l- clothing when the
stricken population need it, eliminating suffering and want which would
surely have resulted from delayed action.

ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Our Sunday-school and morning
service were well attended last Sunday morning. We were delighted with
the quarterly report, which was read.
Our average attendance for the last
quarter was 398. We had hoped to
have 400, but we fell short just a bit.
In the church service the pastor spoke
on "Incentives to Win."
In the afternoon the pastor and wife
motored to Youngstown. It was the
40th anniversary of the ordination of
Dr. Mayer, the pastor of the First
Reformed church at that place. The
address of the evening was made by
the pastor of this church, on the same
date at the same hour, when he gave
the ordination address four decades
ago, and when a.s chairman of the
ordination committee he laid his hand
in consecration upon the young applicant's head, thus setting him apart
to the gospel ministry. It was a great
occasion, Drs. Wettach and Walfinger,
of our other two Reformed churches
in Youngstown, being present also.
As an expression of appreciation, the
church, through one of its official
members, presented their pastor with
an envelope which it was afterward
learned, contained a check for $250.
Next Sunday morning Dr. J. Cal-
vitt Clarke, the representative of the
Near East Relief work, will be present and will give the address. Dr.
Clarke has been intimately associated
with that work and will be able t->
give first-hand information concerning
it.  You will want t * hear him.

WOMAN IS IN RACE
FOR LEGISLATURE
Mrs. Margaret Allman of Canton
Seeks Nomination On Democratic Ticket, But She Is Not
a Blind Partisan.
CUT  TAXES,  HER  SLOGAN
The announcement that Mrs. Margaret Allman of Canton is a candidate for the legislature and that she
is the first woman from Stark county
tp seek a state office is interesting for
several reasons.
To begin with, under the present
law Mrs. Allman is compelled to seek
the nomination under the errfblem of
a political party, and so it is as a
Democrat that she is making the race
with three men also seeking the honor.
As three are to be nominated, one of
the men or Mrs. Allman is to be the
loser.
Although a Democrat, Mrs. Allman
is not a partisan. She believes that
the state senate and the state legis
lature should conduct the affairs of
the state on business lines strictly,
and that the best way to, serve the interests of the people is to cut out the
political labels and run the state as
you would a large corporation.
Is Against Extravagance
Mrs. Allman's platform isn't a long
one, but it is becoming popular all
over the United States. Briefly stated
it is:
Reduce taxes.
A living minimum wage scale for
women.
No graft in  public improvements.
Get rid of the fellows sitting in
swivel chairs and drawing pay for
doing nothing.
Compel a man or woman holding
a state job to work faithfully each
day, and if they are shirkers put them
out of office.
Taxes are altogether too high in
Ohio, and it is time to begin reducing them by practising economy it-
public affairs.
Nice  Woman  To  Meet
Mrs. Allman is a life-long resident
of Stark county, and when her husband died a number of years ago she
was left with a family of four boys.
Three are now in school in Canton.
She is an intelligent, good-looking and
agreeable woman, and she has entered
the lists as a candidate for the legislature solely, she says, that the people should have the burden of excessive taxation lifted from their
shoulders.

Measure Was Too Drastic and
Both Sides Agree To Frame
a New Law.

Sleeveless Knicker Suit
Is Ideal for Sportswoman
We were not all in favor ot knicker
suits some few years ago. However,
that Is ancient history, today the
knicker suit Is the Ideal garb of the
sportswoman. Every detail Is planned
for comfort with the style element
accented. For midsummer the sleeveless kinds are liked best of all. Of
course In this age when accessory
counts so much In costuming one exercises a discriminating taste in matter of blouse, tie, hosiery and other
details. The strictly tailored nnd
mannish effects are preferred. The
picture Illustrates the point. The
knitted four-ln-hund tie is considered*
very smart The narrow patent
leather belt ls the finishing touch.

game of the season when the Machine

first game of the series, the score
being 19 to 21. The other two games

having the dates missing, a re-check
will be made and the correct standing made for next week.

The only game played since last
week's issue of The Sun was the
