WANTED---A CHAIRMAN
Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican
candidate for govergor, is billed to
address the citizens of Sayre at a
public meeting to be held in the
Packer Hosc rooms on Friday
evening next. From present indi-
cations the candidate for governor
will not receive an ovation on the
occasion of his visit to Sayre,
The meeting, it is understood, is to
be held under the auspices of the
county committee, and in order
that it may be conducted in the
usual manner it will be necessary
to have a chairman and a few vice-
presidents, So far, however, the
committee has been unable to se-
cure a man who will consent to act
as chairman and it looks as if the
job will go begging. Oae promi-
gent citizen, who has always been
a dyed.in-the-wool Republican, has
been offered the job Ia fact he
has been almost begged to take it,
but he has refused. He will be
conveniently absent from town on
the day of the meeting. Others of
less prominence have also been re~
quested to introduce the guberna-
torial candidate, but up to date
they have all given plausible ex-
cuses, and have refused to serve.
The county committee is also in
need of several dozen vice-presi-
dents, but the efforts to secure men
who are willing to stand for having
their names appear in the public
prints as being in sympathy with
the “gang” candidate for governor
have also proven futile.
It is said that Mial has instruct-
ed his henchmen in Sayre to steer
clear of the Stuart meeting and not
become identified with it in any
way. While Mial is known to be
traveling hand in hand with the
corrupt Republican machine, he is
going to be exceedingly carcful
about letting it appear on the sur-
face. Therefore he has told his
followers in Sayre not to get too
prominent as it will only be a case
of making bad matters worse so far
as Sayre is concerned.
Unless a chairman is secured
today it is likely that Mr. Stuart
will be compelled to introduce
himself to the citizens of Sayre.
AN OLD AUTOMOBILE.
Ezra Baxter, of Troy, has pre-
sented The Record with a fine pic-
ture of an automobile, which is ov
er 100 years old. More properly
speaking the automobile is an ox-
cart, believed to be the only one of
its kind in existence, and the pice
ture was taken at the fair which
was recently held at Troy. The
cart is a two wheel affair and is
loaded with a dozen or more hand.
some young women. Attached to
the cart are two ox teams driven
by Mr. Baxter, The cart has
passed down through three gener-
ations of the Baxter family and is
in an excellent state of preserva.

Comparatively few people know that
ringing a bell ruins it. That is, a
bell has a definite length of life and
after 50 many blows will break. A
960-pound bell, struck blows of 178
foot pounds of force, broke after 11,
000 blows. A 4,000-pound bell broke
after 15,000 Llows of 350-foot pounds
