ONE ounce of GASO-TONIC* poured into FIVE gallons of gasoline, brings about this MAGIC CHANGE. I t increases your power and mileage 25 per cent; it softens and dissolves the carbon in your motor, and it makes your sleepy, clogged- \ . up car run like the CHASED, SCARED CAT. ONE CENT per gallon of gasoline is all it costs. Having invested considerable hard-earned money in art a i automobile, yohr first thought will be that “there’s nothing to f » GASO-TONIC. It will injure my motor, and I can’t afford to 1 1 take the chance.” )|J We give POSITIVE assurance, and can not make it too jj; strong, that therein NO ACID, or other ingredient, in GASO- f ►TONIC that can injure or harm your motor in any wise. a to hiju-ti «cii tj'd ih th The town n,th;beiih Mosttfs, Jcaie.eu and Hmi'di, ius:Stcil on the agreement being kept-, when Presi­ dent iitormor.t stated that ?o fa r as he was concerned there was no agree­ ment and he never proposed to vote to accept any more resignations, liu s statement was made in the pres­ ence of JHr, Johnson whom Mr. Ktor- inout liad counseled as to the plan of union and the editor o f The Herald, v.ho was asked to present the plan to the people, which was done in the is­ sue of January 29. That such an agreement was made between the Cookery p o in ts In regard to the resolution intro dueed, instructing the cleric of the Hoard to contract for the tract of Jand north of the college grounds, also S acres •adjoining, flaid resolution is dearly illegal and void by authority of Secs. 5660 and 3661, Revised Stat­ utes of Ohio. In regard to the motion to employ additional counsel, Sec. ‘4761, Ii. S. O. provides for such employment only in certain specified cases. In regard to the opposition to the proposed site north of the college grounds, the opinion of the patrons of the school is so nearly unanimous against said location that nothing less can be done.. In fact I have yet to find, outside the members of the Board, a person who Is in favor of said location. Some have expressed the opinion that if the patrons of the •School were given a chance to choose between the two sites on which the Board is divided, a majority of 10 to 1 would be given against the location north of college grounds. You mention the matter of drainage in connection with this proposed site. I am a t a loss to know by what au thority the statement is made that it “can be secured for $500 less than any site that was considered,’.’ as the ques­ tion of drainage of this site or any other, has never been considered by the Board, as any of the proposed sites can be drained, You state that “Architect ■ Packard viewed the site Saturday, and was greatly pleased with it." kVhen in fact neither on Saturday or any other day has Mr. Packard been shown this' site, or any otlierj by authority of the JBpard of Education, nor has he ex-, pressed an opinion to the Board on this or any other site. His only sug­ gestion to the Board a t the meeting .Saturday, was that as soon as a site had been secured, that a survey be taken and forwarded to him. As to the failure of the Board "to tie up the Toledo bond firm on the 5 per cent of their bid," not one cent of said 5 per cent could have been re­ tained unless actual damage could have, been shown. And in fact an actual saving of more than $300 in interest has taken place by postponing the date of sale,, which explains the vqtes against the d,hte for- offering the bonds on June 15, as it is an open question whether the money is needed yet, and interest begins the date of sale. I -am glad to hear that “a movement has been'started to huve a largfe dele-- gation present a t the next meeting,’.’ as that was proposed by two members a t the last meeting, but'’was rejected by the Other members. 1 have only one suggestion to make, and that is th a t this "delegation” meet some other time than a meeting of th e . Board, as enough business usually comes before the Board to fully oc­ cupy their time. I have no apology to make, or regrets to express, for the position taken on any matter which has come before the. Board of Educa­ tion, but refer to the records of the .Board for the past 15 years, to show that the hest interests of the schools has always been my first consider­ ation, : ■ ■ ‘ . * J. II, Stormont. Communications on subjects of in­ terest to the public are always wel­ comed Whether they agree with the personal views of. the Editor or not. However, the communication as well as reports of any meeting or any view we hgve expressed, must be open, for discussion! Its an old, old story with newspaper people that there never was a correct report of the transactions of a public body.

By some means unknown, the name of Mr, G, \V« Hatnmnn was presented and every member voted to. seat him following Mr. Ramsey's res­ ignation. Another matter we believe that has not yet come of public record is in reference to selecting a site for the proposed building. There has been much discussion over this topic. At the start, Mr. Stormont favored what is known as the Bridgman site. At that time no other site could be dis­ cussed. Not meeting with the ap­ proval of the majority of the board, the site across from the college was voted upon. Pour of the five mem­ bers voted for this site. Mr. Stor­ mont .called for an aye and nay vote so that he might be recorded against the site. His reasons a t that time for opposing the site approved by the majority were many, chief of which was the cost and that such a building as proposed would “humiliate the col­ lege.” The board, to have harmony, endeavored to locate elsewhere and finally? after much consideration, a majority voted for the site north of the college. The vote had not more than been announced until President Stormont, in an outburst of anger, stated that he_would do every­ thing in his power and flight the site selected as long as he had breath in his body. At a succeeding meeting an effort was made to get the vote re­ considered but the site chosen was again endorsed. At this time Mr. Stormont declared in a-most emphatic manner that if the college trustees did not bring an injunction, he would. The majority of the boat'd, however, are still standing by their early de­ cision, which has had much to do with our reports not reading correctly, ec- pecially to Mr. Stormont, The above are but two of the subjects that could bo cited as never having been given in full.* i So far as us passing on legal points over action of tiie board we do not profess to be authority along that lino, Mr. Johnson offered the reso­ lution instructing the dork to con­ tract for a site and States that it was drawn under the same authority and, law as was the contract for the archi­ tect, and for which Mr. Stormont- voted. , Mr. Johnson has been clerk of the village, former-clerk of the town board of education, has had ex­ perience along that line and seems satisfied thut he has all the authority necessary,. So far as additional counsel being employed is concerned, the majority of the board tha t wants it can have it. We have but to cite the Beavercreek board employing Attorney Darlington during the litigation in that district. The public does not expect the mem­ bers of the board to be versed on legal questions and we state without any hesitation that the people arc about convinced that th#> moat able counsel should be employed, The question of drainage of the site or that of any other came up in dis­ cussion at t t t last meeting and was. referred to by both Messrs. Johnson and Smith. So fa r as Architect Packard view­ ing the site Is concerned, the state­ ment was made by Mr. Johnson a t his place of business in the presence of a hau-dosen citizens, I t was on his authority that we published what we did. We since find that Mr, Packard asked to view The site selected and was taken there by Mr, Mamroan, For us to rejieat what the architect said, which was published, would be useless. We are about ready to ‘admit that the Toledo bond firm could not bo. held for tho five per cent of their bid as Mr. Stormont suggests. The sale was made over the phone by Mr; Stor­ mont and Prosecutor Johnson, and so fa r as a matter of record is concerned, <hn«,n At.i ..... a ' pr c i . _ . not infallible and are usually the first to make amends. But it has, been proven by experience that tliO public official that finds such fault usually considers himself always in the right, according to his views. It is stated in the above communi­ cation that a Wrong impression can , When a political division or subdi­ vision votes for a bond issue and the }•. 'only are favorable, the personal opinion of the members of the board, council or trustees must be laid aside. The rnandate of the majority must be carried out. At the last meeting, Messrs. Stormont and Collins ignored Car owners everywhere are “hungry” for GASO-TONIC —they are literally “eating it up,” Thousands of owners are sending us $2,00 for a trial can, and are finding it the most profitable $2.00 they have ever in­ vested, * Send uS $2.00 tp-day for a can of GASO-TONIC, which will be sent you, express prepaid.

Mr, Stormont says worded as to give but one side on mat- j -move an actual saving of $ ’00 ters which the board differed. We confess that not all of the trans­ actions of the board were given. Neither have we found it necessary to give a “verbatim” account. We really thought We were favoring the indi­ vidual members in not giving such an account for more than once heated statements have been made aiid many times* without deliberation. If it is the desire of any members- to be so . > * ‘recorded We will endeavof to gratify Y his desires. Many times discussions coming before a public body have no business outside of the room, like many differences that might arise > in ’the family circle. We have attempted to eliminate much of such discussion but it appears it should be given, the public. To have a dearer view of some­ things that have not been made a pact of public record we give in detail some idea of what the public has missed. As will be remembered for many weeks about the first of the year there was an effort made tin the part Of the old town board and the towft- has been made by postponing the sale of the bonds. Why not then postpone indefinitely and save having to pay in­ terest or the bonds? This would be gratifying to the minority a t the bond election last April, But what about the mandate of the majority that ap­ proved the bond issue? In section 4752 of the E. S. O., we find the following: “A majority of the members of the board of education Shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Upon a mo­ tion to adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase or sale of real or person­ al property, employ superintendent, etc., the clerk of the board shall pub­ licly call the roll of the members com­ posing the board and enter on the rec­ ord the names of those vote “Aye” and the names of those voting “No.” If a majority of all members of the board vote aye, the president shall de­ clare the motion carried.” There have been several wide state­ ments made in the recent meetings that members of .the board should make good or show good cause why they were made and not carried out ship board to form a basis of union of r‘ the two districts. Finally a propo- if. there are differences that cannot be ✓ ✓ TRY OUR JOB PRINTING^ sition was worked out whereby, after a vote of the people being taken in the old district throwing the village dis­ trict into the township, two members were to lie choSon from the outgoing town board and take the places of two who would resign on the township hoard. The two members from each imard then to select tho fifth member. The vote was favorable and the town board went out of existence, The township board dropped two members as provided in the agreement and Messrs. Johnson. and Smith were seated. Mr, N. I,. Ramsey was the .third member on the township board that agreed to resign when- the four members agreed oq the fifth man. For some time it was impossible for eettled between th e ’ members, the common pleas court is the place to settle them. There every “tub will stand on its own bottom.” There, also will the question lie decided whether the minority is to govern the hoard or the majority aa provided by law section 4752. m CASTOR IA Xto Ih&mti and Children. D ii KindYogDmAlwaysBought Bear* the Signature of Garman Chest* Ctket. ■; Hero are some recipes, for tho <iain- j ties known as cheese cakes which will bo found delirious. Try some for tho Easter day menu, » Cheese cake—it fl-ould be more ap­ propriate to speak of It as cheese pic—, Is made from ordinary short pie crust', filled with a custard mixture made from eggs, sugar, pot cheese and various fla­ vorings. The cheese can bo made at home from sour milk or bought by the pound in the delicatessen 6hops or bought in prepared cakes of differeut sizes. If one desires to make curd quickly, hot wafer may bo poured into clabbered milk and the curd will sep­ arate, But the water must not he too hot. Here Is one recipe: Rub together until smooth one pound of cottage or pot cheese and a cup of sugar. TTOd three beaten eggs, a table- spoOnfuI of melted butter, half a cup­ ful of cream or rich milk, the juice and rind of a lemon and u teasoouful of cinnamon. Beat all until the mixture has a smooth, creamy consistency. Then pour Into a deep pie tin which has been lined with pastry and bake in a quick oven for forty-fire minutes. This can be covered with a meringue made from the whites of three eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. The meringue should be browned ln-a slow oveh, It should not be put on to the “cake” until this bus bcOn let to partly cool after being taken from the oven. Some cooks bake tho pastry for eheeso calto before putting- in the. cus­ tard. laying it over the outside of tho pan and cooking with the bottom of the pan uppermost. They prick the crust with a fork so that it will not blister and, after pouring m the cus­ tard part, set the crust back into tho oven Just loug enough for the eggs to sot Some German cooks use au egg pastry .In their cheese cakes,, but at this season, when eggs are so high priced, most of our American house­ wives will prefer to .use the ordinary short pie crust. Hero is a good recipe* Allow three level tablespoonfuls of shortening to every cupful of flour of an extra ttblospoonful if a very short crust Is desired. Also allow four level teaspooufuts of salt and half a level teaspopuful of halving powder to each cupful of flour. Work the shortening into the flour with the finger tips oi with a knife or spatula until you have a mixture Resembling soft bread­ crumbs. , • Jlix to a stiff paste, using as little cold water as possible, first making a “well” in tho center of the flour. Mix only long enough to take up all tho dry flout*. Toss’the ball of dough out on a lightly floured board, letting -It get a tliln film. Do not press so hard that the pastry sticks to tho board, as sticking spoils the texture. Cream pastry can bo usfcd wltb cheese cakes. Make as"above, only usa one to one and one-half tablespoonfuls of- shortening and use cream In place of water iu mixing. If very thick cream Is used the shortening may be omitted altogether,* the salt and bak­ ing powder being mixed with the flour. Pastry made from thick cream Is a very quick aqd usually very digestible form of pastry. .Gluten Bread. Pour a pint of boiling water Into a pint of milk. Add a teaspoonful of butter and a tenspoonful of salt. Lei stand until lukewarm; thou add a well beaten egg, a quarter of a yeast cake dissolved and enough' gluten to malco a soft batter. Cover and stand In n warm place to risentben add enough gluten to make a soft dough and knead It well. Form it Into four loaves and let rise again. Bake for one hour. Gluten bread requires Jess yeast and loss tlrno to rise than ordinary bread. iMors end Flavors, * CertainTmvorings seem to fit certain colors. No good cook would think of fla- vorlng yellow cake, bonbon or dessert with pistachio, almoml or rose or a pink dessert with lemon, pistachio or orange, Bose extinct Is always reserv­ ed for sweets of pink or white tint, almond for white, orange for yellow, lemon for white or green and pistachio, of course, for green. A discord Is noted between color nhd flavor in a pink dessert flavored with pistachio or a green dessert flavored with rose, no matter how "good" It may taste. New Idea For Doughnuts, When frying doughnuts have a dish of boiling water beside the hot fat. Ac you remove the doughnuts from the frying kettle dip hastily Into the boil­ ing water. This removes all grease and reudera them more healthful than they would otherwise bo. , There Is another point not to bo de­ spised when lard Is as expensive as it Is at prose#. After tho water cools the grease may bo skimmed from the top and used again. One will be sur­ prised to see the amount of fat that will rise. Bran Gems. One ogg, one eupfal of flour, two cupfuls bran, one teaspoonful salt, three tnblespooiifuls of molasses, one tableSpoonful of shortening, one tea- spoonful of soda, buttermilk to make a stiff batter, Kalslns may bo added if desired.
