We overheard a resident of Ayr
township, who, by the way, is
still active in business, remark
that there are more than twice
as may autos in his township as
there were buggies when he was
a boy. From four to six autos
may be seen on some of our

they attract no more attention
than did his father's family car
riage fifty years ago.

James A. Mellott, of Licking
Creek township, took home a load
The Philadelphia Record.
About three-quarters of the
newspapers of the country seem
to be laboring under the impres
sion of late that there is little of
consequence going on anywhere
in the world but the European
war. A notable exception is
The Philadelphia Record,"
whose editors preserve a just
sense of proportion in the presen
tation of the news, as usual.
The war is getting all the atten
tion it deserves in "Tne Record"
in the shape of full and satisfy
ing accounts from all the foreign
sources, but it is not allowed to
overshadow reports of other
events, at home and abroad, in
which well-balanced newspaper
readers are interested.
