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.

Aa was decided at the lust meeting of the villuge council, a petition is now being circulated among the property owners on Elyriu avenue which will decide whether or uot Elyrla avenue will be improved this fall. According to reports, u large num ber of the property owners have signed ihe petition aud ure willing for the work to start at once. The substance of the petition, which Is being circulated, is to guarantee the property OWaotfl thut the cost of Improvement will not exceed a certain 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 Job. It Is also urged thut ull those who possibly e un pay cash for the improve mint, as this will save Interest, overhead expense, us well us do away with the* red tupe connected with the issuance ot bonds. The cost per front foot for the tar bound macadam is small In comparison with concrete or uspbult aud will stand tbe wear and tear of traffic for several years.

The Misses Helen Cameron and ■Margaret Newsberry spent Tuesday in Cleveland. Mrs. Sam Delefleld is spending the duy iu Loruin ut the home of Mr. und Mrs. Herman Esaig. 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 Oo- But the Mayor'a rooster will crow forever. Kenneth Kisbinun and Howard Ar net of Vermilion were Amh>*rst visitors Sunduy evening. Mr. uud Mrs. E. H.

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.

Aa was decided at the lust meeting of the villuge council, a petition is now being circulated among the property owners on Elyriu avenue which will decide whether or uot Elyrla avenue will be improved this fall. According to reports, u large num ber of the property owners have signed ihe petition aud ure willing for the work to start at once.

It Will be necessary for ull property owners to sign the petition, as one delinquent signer will delay the entire Job. It Is also urged thut ull those who possibly e un pay cash for the improve mint, as this will save Interest, overhead expense, us well us do away with the* red tupe connected with the issuance ot bonds. The cost per front foot for the tar bound macadam is small In comparison with concrete or uspbult aud will stand tbe wear and tear of traffic for several years.

The Misses Helen Cameron and ■Margaret Newsberry spent Tuesday in Cleveland. Mrs. Sam Delefleld is spending the duy iu Loruin ut the home of Mr. und Mrs. Herman Esaig. 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 Oo- But the Mayor'a rooster will crow forever. Kenneth Kisbinun and Howard Ar net of Vermilion were Amh>*rst visitors Sunduy evening. Mr. uud Mrs. E. H.
