Its equal 1 have never found, Because wy native place, I have perhaps a biased wind To judge correct the case; I've traveled east, and I’ve traveled west, And heard the songbird’s trill, And many a pleasant place I found, But none like Cedarville. if I've viewed the rivers, lakes, and springs, Of many another state, ♦ - And found them rich ii> minerals, And grand in mountains great; Here the lay of land on every side, Its vales with rocks and rill,. Seem dear to me, my native place, They call it Cedarville. 4, * Its men are very great in height, Equipped with brawn and brain, They grew to dll the offices, And climb the roll of fame; .There’re teachers, preachers—-every­ where, And doctors with a pill, We find them, good in every place, But none like Cedarville. Canton gave us Will MeKinley, Delaware gave us Hayes, Mentor was the home of Garfield, Great men in many ways; But a t the coronation of the king, The British throne to fill, Whom should our nation choose to send, But. Reid of Cedarville. Our county has a dozen towns, With business, more or less,. They may. excel us hero and there, We honestly confess; Yet thing we have, they have not, I t is a papermill, .. I t brings both work and pay to men, Who live in Cedarville. We boast a college in our town, To educate our youth,. And many things, the very best, . And found with us in truth; The choicest lime is here produced; Burned in a patent kiln, And lo«al trade is very good In the town of Cedarville. . ’ Machinery to do .the work,' And autos for to ride, _ ■ With church and school, and. railway lin£s, In peace we may .abide; .

His service for all the people is yet. remembered, ifeing a banker, farmer, manufactur­ er, his support of measures always represented the major interests of the district. . Matthew Denver while m the House became one of the-big men in Washington in the fullest Eense of the term, Conservative in ws Judgment of public questions he was always found on the right side of every important question without dodging roll call or resorting to the spectacular •to attract the attention or the folks back borne.

Mr. Denver is endors­ ing the candidacy of General J. Warren Keifer for the Republican nomination for congress in this dis­ trict, In this one act you have a sample of the Denver -broadminded­ ness in lending his support to an able man at a most critical time in the country's history even • though hig party has no nominee for the- Seventh'Ohio seat ip Congress. Popular Official Seeks Re-Election GENERAL J. WARREN KEIFER. Clothed with evergreei General J, Warren ..eifor has for some years advanced thi idea that each nation should, have only .suffi­ cient military and naval force to pre­ vent piracy and attack from bandits and insure peace and good order at home. ’■. This plan meets with the approval of all citizens from every walk of life. The best and quickest way to bring such a condition about is to select as our congressman and sena­ tors men .that stand for such ideals. General Keifer, is a member- of the Interparliamentary Union, being one __________evergre n, trees, In sunshine bright beneath the ekies, And love thee, love for these; . Beautiful stream, called Mamies Creek, Forming a-lovely rill, Has worn its way , in rock clear through’’ . The town of Cedarville. ■ This lovely Brook meanders along, Running all night and day, Its murmurings greet the cars of men,’ Also the birds at play. . . Its banks once lined on either side With cedars on the hill, Hinted a name for Newport's town, The name of Cedarville. „ True, they called it Milford awhile, Till the postal office came, . Then in thought what shall we call it ? They settled on a name; One hundred years since lots were sold, > ' By the Newports with a will, And many people erst have lived In the town of Cedarville. This is indeed a centennial year, We meet and will recall The many years so quickly passed, And dear to oiie and all; The pioneers that settled here. Went to their graves, yet still The population, a thousand strong, •Are found in Cedarville. I may not always here abide, To other parts may roam, But still I ever will rejoice That this was once my home; Too soon, alasl I must depart, Yet when I ’m o’er the hill, I still will cherish in my h irt The name of Cedarville. - H.

SBCTWN ^ A nice little' find of $2000 by a section hand one day . prsbahly get some railroad in trouble for carelessness. Two $1000 bills were found in a sealed envelope that were being of the expfosa company. The money was turned over thoritl**, meantime the raflmad’*om. pmy will Investigate just how that package got out of the express oar. f m m m m ss»* «m * m wmfcifrt# on the globe is: represented by, some recognized legislative member unless than by these four life members. ' It then would he a most fitting thing to send General Keifer back to congress to help swing that body in line for the above plan. His influ­ ence in that body would naturally-b© greater than any other we could send due to lus membership of the Inter­ parliamentary Union. Tills country must take the lead in this world wide movement for peace. The next session of ,.congress ./will be callec rpon to handle this momentous ques­ tion arid men equal to the emergency must be trusted with the most vital issue since organization of the repub­ lic. The Seventh Ohio district shoulc extend this honor to GeneraL Keifer, a man of firm will, sound character and a broad comprehensive intelli­ gence of statp, government and in­ ternational law. The Springfield Sun had the fol lowing to say Monday concerning General Keifer and the Inter-Parlia­ mentary Union: "The power find influence of the union for peace will l>e paramount over all other peace organizations; this because-of its international char­ acter and previous experience and work. There is already talk among :ts influential members that its next meeting may her held in the United States, It is my ambition to have this nought about, but I hope to attend the meeting wherever it is held." The Inter-Parliamentary Union for Peace of the nations was organized about twenty years ago. Its mem­ bership Was made up of persons be longing to a parliament congress or other national representative body, which includes representatives from all the principal powers of the earth, Russia, Japan, Turkey and other for­ mer absolute monarchies are repre­ sented in the union; Keifer a Life Member. General Keifer’s membership ceas­ ed in 1011 when he went out of con­ gress, but he was thereafter elected as a life member at largo at Homo in 1913. He reached Berlin in July, 1914, on his way to attend the nine­ teenth annual meeting a t Stockholm when the great war broke out and irgtented the meeting. All the na- ions now at war had then' repre­ sentatives ill readiness to attend it, with many of whom General Keifer was acquainted. At the outbreak of the war in 1914, General Keifer was on his way to attend the nineteenth annual session of the union at Stockholm, and al­ though the session was not held, and General Keifer has had to bear some good-natured joke* a t the expense of g over the plan of his organization will be seized upon with even greater eagerness than would have been the case before. "When the great, bloody and de­ vastating war in Europe ends, as it must sooner or later, !■believe it will have the effect of bringing about a universal enforceable peace agree­ ment between the great- nations 'of the world, whereby disputes between the nations will be settled by an in­ ternational tribunal," declared Gen­ eral Keifer. “This will .be done through a general treaty providing that nations be required to submit their differences for final disposition to such a .tribunal, the decrees of Which will be enforceable by an in- navy prodded 'Scheme Advocated by Keifer. . "With the exception of the fur-’ nishing its share to the international police, each nation will be permitted bo maintain only a sufficient military and naval.force to prevent piracy ant attack from unauthorized bandits, and to enforce peace and order a t Borne." Tills general plan General Keifer has long -advocated as a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Union for Peace, and on his return from Eu­ rope where he had gone in 1914 to attend the nineteenth annual meeting of the union he proposed in October, 1914, this plan for the first time and again reiterated it in a public ad­ dress, July 4, 1915, in Spring- field. Ho believes the nations now at war will each and all, when the war ends, be so exhausted by the loss of men and so much de­ vastated and bo hopelessly in debt And so satiated with war as to eager­ ly agree to the plan proposed or to an equivalent one. "Many of the now peace organiza­ tions of this country are coming to advocate such g plan, abandoning the theoretic policy of the past that pub­ lic sentiment alone will secure peace through international treaties,” he de­ clares. "Such was the Vision or pro­ phecy of Isaiah two thousand six hundred years ago. The Hague tribunal was a creation of the “Union for Peace” through treaties initiated and caused to be agreed to by a large number of prin­ cipal nations of tlie earth. That un­ ion originated and caused to be as­ sented to the above treaties relating to arbitration, the conduct of war on land and sea, and to neutral rights of nations, and to commerce, etc. "So far as the nations at war ate concerned moBt of these treaties are how in abeyance, abrogated or bro­ ken, yet they will be reaffirmed and again become effective international- y, especially if the suggested fore­ going plan ifor universal peace is agreed upon.” In our announceme be found the-name of ris of Xenia as a can oner before the prim ris is a young man of and comes well recon claim for this position centrally located in Xe able to all parts of immediate call; ]Efo port.

D. Williwmqn, one of the most popular officials ip the county and one of the most noted sheep, ireeders in the country and recognized conservative Business men in the country has again yielded to the call of his friends and h*r Announced as a appeared nearly * page article In the Cincinnati Enquirer, .criticising the bill as it was drawn and how banks wbuld be -affected.,. This article was from none other than General J, Warren Keifer of Springfield, bank­ er, lawyer and statesman, that had served in Congress and a t one time was Speaker of the House, General Keifer was and is yet President of the Lagonda National Bank, - I t is said that the article so stirred the bankers and business interests of the country that congress was deluged with telegrams and letters urging a change in the bill before it was passed. Thousands of Enquirers were printed as a special edition and mailed all over the country. Senti­ ment became so strong against the proposed bill that changes had to be made. To this day General Keifer has received full credit of saving ithousands of natfonal banks in this country from destruction and ruin which would have followed had the reserve bill passed as Wilson and Fess advocated. Two newspaper men are candidates before the primary for important of­ fices. James M. Light Of the South Charleston Sentinel wants to be the Republican nominee for Representa­ tive in Clark county. For a number of years James ran the' onlyJRe- § ublican paper in the city of Sprmg- old, which in those days usually elected Democratic officials. The only organ the Republicans could count on for'support was the “Times”. The Republican party received many col­ umns of support which was no doubt done a t a financial loss. The party now had an opportunity of rewarding him and we are sure if nominated the peace movement and himself, he declares that When the present war Saloon League and was on the inside James will be elected and represent the county in a manner that will be a credit to his party and himself. SECURE BOND MONEY, Messrs. J. C. Barber and J. W. Johnson were in Cincinnati Tuesday where they delivered the Main Street paving bonds to the purchasers, Da­ vies, Bertram & Co., and in return received the money, which amounted to $9000 and the premium, $407 and accrued interest. GUT FOR COLLEGE, Dr, W» R. McChesney has announc­ ed a gift of $5000 to the college for the endowment fund. The donor is not known to any other than the col* ego authorities, It in intimated that another gift will bo received in the future. The only way Chester E. Bryan is going to lose votes in his race for state treasurer on the Democratic ticket will be due to the, fact that people Will not know just who they are voting for. If certainly could not be said that anyone who knew “Ches” would not support him; But Madison county's leading citizen has a lot of friends over the state that are not newspaper people, In Lon­ don they never think of starting any­ thing without consulting "Ches”, whether it be in civic, church or lodge circles. One of Mr. Bryan's strongest supporters will be' our for­ mer townsman, Mr. Hatty Hiff, who never overlooks an opportunity to give the Bryan candidacy a boost. A Democratic legislature in creat­ ing the Seventh congressional dis­ trict made ft so strongly Republican that no Democrat had a faint hope of ever being elected. This year the nominee of the Republicans wilt, be i-,he next congressman due to the fact that the Democrats will make no nomination. I t is not! out of place to mention that some of the Democrats are going to take a hand in the com- ng primary* Probably the best mown in this Section will be ex-Cota- gressman M. R. Denver, who sm ed a few years ago from % old Sixth district. A good many things were Williamson** record as an official, what he has"done for the county, it is no Wonder that- his friends by the score in every precinct have Urged his nomination again. It has been a de­ light for Mr. Williamson to assist the many township officials, as well as village councils," in the repairs of roads and streets. His untiring efforts in this direction, his loyalty towards looking after the county’s affairs is a 'record that the public is always ready to endorse. MAKING HEADWAY ON STREET PAVING Iliff Bros, are pushing thiags as rapidly as possible on the Main street paving. The excavation has been about completed from the bridge to a point past the J, C. Barber cor­ ner. Some twenty car loads of brick have arrived and are placed along the sidewalks. The contractors are in need of more labor to rush the work faster. The best of the surface has been removed and placed on some of ■ the side streets under the direction of J. W. R qss of the street committee. The contractors promise to roll this material with the road roller. SOLDIERS ARE SUFFERING. Reports from Columbus indicate that the soldiers a t Camp Willis are suffering, due to the Tack of clothing, blankets, proper food and water, The Third regiment from Dayton being in Columbus to get first hand informa­ tion, George F. Burba, editor of The Dayton News, made a trip of inspec­ tion to the camp. Mr. Burba described the conditions there as a comic opera scene on the stage with men drilling without shoes, Outer shirts, some in regulation uni­ form, a motley crew, But the worst of all was to see the sorefooted men imping about without shoes, Hun­ dreds of soldiers have never yet slept on a blanket Bince they went, into camp. This is all due to .the fact that the Ohio officers called the men! together before the camp'was ready and before clothing and provisions had been secured. The grounds are unfit for camps, shade trees or buildings* were un* cnown, weeds had grown :to the might of the fence*. Men have been forced to seek protection under low canvas tents and breathe the oppres­ sive heat, dust and odor from the, weeds. - } Those from here who have Visited ■ the camp bring back just such re-1 jorts as Mr. Burba described. More ban that the men are not receiving he treatment due human beings even n a war camp, Men -forced to en­ dure* such treatment for fifty cents a day while officers draw from five to Ifteen dollars ft day and live in dou­ ble walled tents and eat the finest of the land will never lend encour­ agement to an upbuilding of the Ohio militia.
