ONLY BI LINGUAL RAFFIK BETWEEN NEW YORK AND CHIC AG VOLUME II — No. 24 Montefalcone Occupied by Italian Troops. President's Note is Sent to Germany DHtiraPE County Jail at This Place Scene of Successful Delivery FOUR m LIBERTY Well Laid Plans Work Without a Hitch and Quartette Soon Were tree The most clever and successful jail escape ever planned in the history of the county occurred last Tuesday morning at an early hour when Mr. and Mrs. Harry iScheffler, held for trial on a chaige of larceny, Chester Frye, accused by his own (laughter, and Catherine Miller, incarcerated * the day previous for stealing clothing from the Normal School, made their way out of the county jail at this place. For some time, evidently, Scheffier and Frye had been busy cutting the iron bars of their cell, one drowning the noise of the file by playing on a musical instrument while the other worked. Monday night was probably the time agreed upon for the dash for liberty. Early in the evening Frye was permitted to go to the cell of Scheffier ostensibly to play cards, and closed the door. Evidently all four were cognizant of the details and progress of the plan as each contrib uted to the help of the other, and so cunningly were the plans laid that not a hitch oceured to mar their suc cess. When the time came for closing the second tier of cells, the doors of each were seen to he closed and the bolts were shot and everything was supposed to be in proper order, but in the cell of Schelfier were a busy pair. By the aid of files made from cor set stays the last bar was cut, and through the opening thus made they drew themselves to the top of the cage and thence to tli3 attic to a place directly over the hospital de partment where the two women were confined, cut another hole, and by aid of blankets, decended into the room occupied by the women. Again they tore up the floor, and all four, by the aid of the blanket-rope lower themselves into an outside room where they had but to raise a window and drop into Court Place. In all probability a conveyance was waiting nearby and they were soon on their way. A general alarm was sent tnrough out the county and detectives and constabulary have taken up the chase. Joseph E.

Preliminary ballots have been sent out and final election will take place July 1 to Oct L MONDAY IS FLAG DAY 138 Anniversary of the Stars and Stripes Monday is the 138 anniversary of the birth of the flag, and at no time in recent years has there been great er occasion for fittingly celebrating it than this year. Many days were spent by Betsy Ross and lier girl friends in design ing and making the beautiful emblem of our country, and the anniversary of its completion and initial unfurl ing should rank among the impor tant holidays of the nation. To many it stands merely as a tri color of red, white and blue, but the mind of Washington, who sketched a design for Mrs. Ross to follow was nothing less than inspired; to them it meant more than a blaze of bright hued colors; it meant love, respect, ! duty, truth and purity, and when the ! first red and white stripes were layed and sewed by dainty fingers long since returned to dust, they stood for the thirteen original states, the square of blue for truth and the i white stars purity, and as each suc cessive state become part of the un ion. another star was added until now. 48 states covering a continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, un furl this flag to the breeze, a united country of over a hundred millions ready to fight and die if need be, for the stars and stripes. We all love the fiag. There is no I question about that, but how many of us doff our hats as the fiag goes by? How many give it the honor of a salute? How many arise when the orchestra plays the opening bars of the "Star Spangled Banner"? You should do it! Respect for the fiag demands it. i With fifty years passed since the "honorable surrender"' of General Lee at Appouiatox; with the South emerged from her desolated ruins into peace and prosperity, with all the old feeling passed and gone, the southern people, as observed by the writer, pay more respect to the em blem of their country in times of 1 peace than do the northern. With ; the first bars of the "Star, Spangled Banner" you will see them rise and stay "riz" until the finish. If in the open, they remove their hats as we all should do. Let us give the flag of the "land of the free and the home of the brave" the place it should have in CELEBRATED 95th BIRTHDAY \ Mrs. Thomas Patterson, of Grin more Oldest Wuman in County Mrs. Thomas Patterson, of near Grinmore, this county, celebrated her ninety-fifth birthday anniversary at which time all of her living child ren but one were present in honor of the event.
