ONE MAN, PAY AS YOU ENTER
CAR TO OPERATE BETWEEN
AMHERST AND PENFIELD
JUNCTION SOON
In an Interview with V. E. McGhee,
ticket agent for the Cleveland, Southwestern Railway company, this morning, the fact that the Oreen Line will
put on a new car service here was
assured.
Superintendent Elliott made a business trip to Amherst Monday and stated that a one-man, pay-as-you-enter
car would operate between Amherst
and Penfleld Junction as soon as the
car was finished.
This new service will not go Into
effect tomorrow, however, according
to reports.
"Bill" Durman will go onto the Norwalk line and "Hap" Crawford will
operate on a Cleveland-Wellington
limited. "Tom" Conger will operate
between Elyrla and Lorain.
It Is not known who will operate the
cars between Amherst and the Junction as yet.
This move was made necessary on
account ot the bua proposition. The
Cleveland-Southwesttfrn are not In »
position to compete with tbe buses,
claiming that they do not offer fair
competition, and are taking every opportunity to lessen expanses.'

One Mayor; Two Chickens, Play Important Part
In Beaver Park'Episode
By keeping two chickens — one
rooster and one hen—a certain Mayor
who Is spending the summer st Besver
Park, has proven himself a real Democrat, with a capital D, and has been
following the code of the rooster more
faithfully than even, especially about
four o'clock In the morning, when one
likes to sleep for beauty's sake.
It la reported, and by good authority, that thia certain mayor purchssed
two chickens and has been keeping
thsm at his cottage at Beaver Park all
summer and that thsy have become
faithful pets, if such chickens can be.
After ssvsral long wssks of untiring effort the rooster hss at last accomplished a great fsat, and thst being, ho has learned to crow. It was a
very weak attsmpt at first, but he has
developed a good pair of lungs and
crows at hla bast between three and
four o'clock in the morning. In fact,
he has become so talented that hs Is
even better thsn s "Big Ben" or some
other make of a 23-jewel alarm clock.
As most people do not like this type
of an alarm clock, because It cannot
be set to crow at a certain tims, one
of the mayor's neighbors, or rather,
several of them are making complaints
and are trying to keep ths rooster
from making his nightly headquarters
under  their   windows.
For the post several evenings the
rooster hss not been "stepping out'*
but has stayed at home, like all good
pets should do, snd naturally this
certain mayor Is having soma trouble
with his pet.
It is reported that the rooster haa
made his headquarters on ths window
sill of ths mayor's slssping room and
that svery morning, bstwesn three and
four o'cloek he crows his best.

Their plan is to build new homes In
the country on an 180-acre tract of
land ubout eight miles west of Cleveland, which has already been purchased.
They are endeavoring to raise funds
for this purpose uml ure asking every
parish to aid.
W. J. Bodmann, local business mun.

According to reports, u large num
ber of the property owners have signed
ihe petition aud ure willing for the

The substance of the petition, which
Is being circulated, is to guarantee the

amount per front foot und also to
guarantee to the council that the property owners will puy for the Job when
it is finished.
It Will be necessary for ull property
owners to sign the petition, as one delinquent signer will delay the entire

Mrs. Sam Delefleld is spending the

Mrs. Churles Cbeesman of Spring
street is spending the week with relatives in Cleveland.
But this mayor Is pretty clever and
has almost found a solution to his
problem. Every evening, before retiring, this mayor takes 'a pan of
water and places It at his bedside, and
when Chantioler 'starts his morning
concert, the msyor srlses, opens the
window, snd gives his pet one of the
best shower bsths one can imagine.
Of course the rooster leaves ths window sill and ths mayor goea back to
bed agsin snd sleeps peacefully for
the next three or four hours.
This Is a mean way to treat a pet,
but by constant associations svsry
morning the two have become quite
good friends, and in this way the mayor will bs unabls to forget that he la a
follower of tha rooster.
Roostsrs may coma) and roosters may
