Wind'* Queer Pranks Lima, Ohio, March 10.?Five perP seas are known to be dead, several others are reported killed, scores K a** Injured. scores of homes were ? completely or partly demolished and Pb.s hundreds of barns and outbuildings rjVj:-t ware rased by the tornado which Jgt traveled across Northwestern Ohio early last evening. Estimates of I* property damage range from $1,000,M0 to $5,000,000. Miller City, PutP - man County, was hard hit. Seven ' aaraOBS. two Of whnm m o v ilia ufam * iaj?nd there. One side of a large I Oatholtc church was blovn in. t Ftnlay many small buildings were wrecked and the roofs of severals business bouses were blown off. , Roofs of two business blocks were ttfted at Tiffin and many small buildings were rased. At Bascom, near Tiffin the car barns of the Tiffin. ^ Fostoria A Eastern Traction line were wrecked, several large cars being damaged. Clover,?Cuba,t Dupont had Continental also suffered. Throughout the storm* districts hundreds of persons received minor injuries caused by flying glass and , debris. Twelve persons are reported seriously injured. No serious damage was don^ in any of the larg er cities, moot of the destruction hav^ ing been reported from country dis-j tricts. The tornado began its mad ->^ career In Vanwert County on the Ohio-Indiana State line and then n traveled in a northeasterly direction, $ I' lessoning in its intensity until it died out east M Tiffin. . Towns suffering the most were Vanwert, Middlel point. Convoy, Lima, Deshler, Humbler. Oontlnentsrl. Ottawa FMnlov ** Napoleon, Holgatc, Miller City and Tiffin. The known dead are: Rexford Lye, aged 12, Middlepoint; Harry * m Perry, T, three miles west of Vanwert;.Mrs. Charles Oeyer, 67, Mid* - dlepoint; Pearl Bott, 26. farmer of near Clov'erdale, south of Continental. ^ The tornado came in the farm of an old fashioned Kansas "twister." It would swoop down, wreck several farm' houses, then jump from a half to five miles before doing more damage. The small loss of life is attributed to the fact that the tor* nado traveled mostly through open couatry skipping towns and villages. ..Moat of the damage was done in Vxnwert County. Three of the dead were killed at or near Middlepoint, ? Vanwert County: The tornado swept a path from 100 yards to half mile 1^ wide. *' Most of the injured in Vaiyyert i. County wese taken to the Vahwert County Hospital, where several operations were performed by the light of small electric pocket lights, the city light plant having been put out of commission. The tornado played queer pranks. Hundreds of chickens were entirely denuded and left without a feather. One chicken with only a few feathers left was blown high in the air and landed on a telephone post, from * which it was rescued. Big boulders, weighing a ton, vfcre found in the t roads at several points. In Union Township a farm house was lifted from its foundation and was carried Into an adjoining field. A heavy stove in this house was carried half a mile by the twister. v. ? m Satan's Resignation. V (From en Exchange) The devil seated by the lake on a pile ; of sulphur kegs. His head bowed upon his breast, his tail between his legs: A look of shame was on his face, and teardrops in his eyes. As he sent his resignations to the j throne up in the skies. "I am down and out," old satan cried; he said with a sob; 'There are others that outclass me; t huve to quit my job. ' ^ Hell is no longer in class with the land along the Rhine. ^ I'm a has-been a iker, and there"fore I resign. fa Krupp, the munition-maker, .with his bloody shot and shell, Knows more about damnation, than all the Imps in hell. Give my job to Kaiser Bill, the author of this war. He understands it better?a million times or more. I hate to leave the old home, the place I love so well; But I feel I m not up to date in the Ways of running hell. so nere goes, saian. o Voters in 8. C. Must ReRegister Columbia, Mar. 5.?All electors of |i South Carolina must re-register after July 1st, in the general registration, states Attorney General Peoples in a recent opinion given to W. J. L.

The letter in full follows: "Answering your letter of the 11th of February, 1 beg to advise! that the act of 1917, page 47, was passed in the pursuance of the con-j stitutional requirement that there be a re-enrollment and registration; or the qualified electors of this state every ten years and makes special provision for this re-registration: and re-enrollment of all qualified I electors then living in the state who may have been registered prior to July, 1918. * "The re-enrollment is to be had during the months of Julv.

"Wouldn't it be a good idea," saya the Washington Times, "if the law compelling publication of the name of the newspaper owner should also compel publication of the name of the owner's owner?that is to say, publication of a complete list of public momopoly stocks owned by the man that owns the newspaper." It makes a deal more difference who owns the newspaper that the public reads than the public thinks. As the Washington Times says, the identity of the owner of a paper is more than his mere name?it has to News F?

The best newspaper Is always the 1 one owned by some person living in the. community who puts his own personality into the sheet. The 1 newspaper that is run purely as a per1 sonal proposition never is much of a factoy in the development of the better side of a community. It is. the newspaper owner who is identified with the community and who is ambitious for the best things for his community mat gives & community t?e sort of paper that is best for it. Mr. Brisbane is right in saying that it is a very important matter i who owns the owner of a newspaper. If a newspaper owner does not pay homage at the shrine of lofty conceptions of duty, if he does not put the public service above his personal gain, if he does not have a lively desire to see right and justice prevail, his newspaper is liable to be a thing of evil rather than of blessing to the community where it circulates. 3T Tobac ibl? to. offar tha trac e old, reliable andp obacco Gi 1 )bacco L?u; ers Bone 'ASH than tobacco, and those v return to their old standards. 1 Department and other expert* We have an ample supply of 1 TRACK MARK I - ts.k: f: REGISTERED.
