Dr. Stewartg&vealengtby report of the visit of the NKfinmittee to the Dayton plant. He told in a very earnest manner th'e'workingof the plant and the financial standing of those who were to come id opr midst, providing we could make them a suitable offer, Mr,.Howard was greatly impressed with Cedar.yille and the natur­ a l atlvautaj^Baffcrefi for #ueh a plant; Tbeonly fears he had was to „ howmuch water could be .secured from deep wells. I t is not possible for creek Water to be Used in making this kind of paper. , *' The Dr, to ldn tthe sectfcrihg of the large plant in Denverby the new Company and that Mr. Howard has since gone to tha t Western city with a number ofmachinists to dismantle same and have i t shipped .east.

While the committee was inspecting the plant la s t Thurs­ day orders came in for 8 , 000,000 envelopes yet the daily capacity is only 6,000,000. , v ' ’. ’ . ‘ \ Dr, Stewarts in hia speech devoted some time ta the finhneial standing of those interested in the company, H esta ted th a t he ■did not think that the hum lacked money but would not build. eo exten­ sive a plant without the supporfc of the peopjeand i t was for this rea­ son tha t the Board of Trade had 'Offered, £0 try And Boat or s e ll, $100,000.00 of the honde, These bonds were to bear 6 percent interest ■* '„and to run from five jtotwenty years.

This stock being non-taxable hiade a good' investment.’ The cliinax of tb* evening was reached when Mrs. J» Stewart gave a stirring speech us to what such an institution meant to a town of this size, Mrs. Stewart has been quit* active in interesting the Dayton people locating here and topped th* subscription ofthe even-; ing by offering $600to secure ,tbe sal* of, the .bonds. Mrs. Stewart was given a hearty applause a t the close o ther speech.

That in the event the plant is a success from th* start, which it undoubtedly wilt be, with a government contract of gov-, oral years to iill, there will be no trouble to sell the bonds, But th e . Subscription was to make our position secure in landing the p la n t., When adjournment was taken, bonds had been secured as to the sal* ahd stock subscribed to the extent of $67,660. The commit­ tee will continue the work and before the end, of .the week # t is ex­ pected that Dr. Stewart can report th«$100,000raised, and the abso­ lute certainly of the plant locating In Ccdsrvillc. EuCii an institution here with 800 to 600employees, would mean a population of 1,800 or S,000 people, an Increased tax duplicate which means a lower tax rate, scores of itew homes, more business housesand A concern that would be doing million dollar business a year. I t is to the advantage of the farmer, the property holder, the money lender, every business and professional man to give not only en­ couragement but a liberal subscription to make the town take on a new life and enter what promises to he th* morfc prosperous year Cedarville ever experienced, Th* Herald has faith jn Cedsm ile and we believe th a t her people Ju town and township have public spirit and enterprise to start this boom, The Board of Trade is working might and main, Cedarville has much to accomplish d,gainst larger plilcts, She has accomplished wonders and she {Sable to accomplish greater things.
