Until «:30 o'clock Sunday morning<br />
Ch«rlet J. fttterson of Cleveland,<br />
«n|^neCr In charge of a section of <strong>the</strong><br />
Twentieth Cientury Limited, had no<br />
VrioQt blimlsh npon hly twenty*slx<br />
years record in <strong>the</strong> railway service.<br />
He had worked his way to a responsible<br />
and honored position by proving<br />
himself, as far as could be determined,<br />
absolutely trustworthy. But<br />
mt one mintite after l:30 <strong>the</strong> fate which<br />
Is <strong>the</strong> nightmare of every passenger<br />
engineer had overtaken him. He had<br />
run past his signals and in an Instant<br />
wine ntes -were wiped out.<br />
The • lnre*tigttIon will show what<br />
VtenuatIon.«'48 were divided equally between<br />
<strong>the</strong> Holmes and Patterson Granges.<br />
There was a large attendance at <strong>the</strong><br />
annual fair and supper of <strong>the</strong> Baptist<br />
Ladles* Aid Society Saturday evening<br />
at Grange Halt. About 180 was taken in<br />
at <strong>the</strong> supper tables. A fine program<br />
bf readings and music was a pleasing<br />
close to <strong>the</strong> evening affair and It Is expected<br />
quite a lar^e amount was cleared<br />
for <strong>the</strong> society.<br />

The factory employment reports for<br />
November are not encouraging. Employment<br />
went down almost 2 per cent.<br />
although November Is usually <strong>the</strong> busiest<br />
month of pre-Chrlstmas activity.<br />
This statement was Issued by Industrial<br />
Commissioner Bernard L. Shlentag of<br />
<strong>the</strong> State Department of Labor.<br />
It should be noted, however, that<br />
employment in <strong>the</strong> manufacturing Industries<br />
Is still at a high level. It Is<br />
still as high as it, was a year ago and<br />
it Is very much higher than In November<br />
of 1921. 'Payrolls have risen<br />
steadily and show a substantial Increase<br />
over those of last year. The<br />
decrease In employment In November<br />
for this year may, <strong>the</strong>refore, only be<br />
temporary In character.<br />
There does not appear to be any<br />
simple reason for <strong>the</strong> apparent<br />
slackening. The purchasing power of<br />
factory employees Is high and that of<br />
farmers has recently Improved. One<br />
difficulty Is psychological—lack of<br />
confidence and <strong>the</strong>refore, of forward<br />
buying. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, if fear of<br />
overproduction or of bad times lead<br />
to unemployment, that In itself will<br />
seriously reduce factory payrolls and<br />
help still fur<strong>the</strong>r to restrict business.<br />
The management of <strong>the</strong> Strand Theatre<br />
has spared no expense In obtaining<br />
<strong>the</strong> best vaudeville and feature photoplays<br />
of merit. Six hi^h class vaudeville<br />
acts In conjunctio/i with <strong>the</strong> s&perproductlon<br />
"The Marriage Maker,'' featuring<br />
Jack Holt and Agnes Ayres will<br />
be shown Saturday. A real surprise.<br />
