U. was held on the 17th. The elec­ tion o f officers resulted in the reten­ tion' o f Miss Henderson fo r president, Mrs. Barber for vice president, Mrs. Jurkat, recording secretary and Miss Murdock fo r corresponding secretary. '* Mrs, T . J. Hastings after a long and faithful service as treasurer laid down the office and Mrs. Oscar Smith -was chosen to fill it. The literature and flower mission superintendents, - as usual, reported the largest amount o f work done during the year. Dele­ gates were appointed fo r the county convention the 15th o f September. . The feeling seemed to prevail that , the coining year, must be Better than the past. It was also agreed upon that an invitation should be extended to those women who are standing aloof because they do not see what the W. C. T. U. is doing that they come and see what it "is doing and . lend a helping hand. The fact that a woman is not a member does not relieve- her of, responsibility fo r work thiat should he done.

The.hoys gave a concert on the street Friday night and that also was enjoyed hugely.- There will always be a welcome in Jamestown for the Cedarville Band.” According to a dispatch in the En­ quirer Saturday from Washington, D.

B iff Bros, received the brick Wed­ nesday, and the section o f the street at the railroad has been- completed but o f course cannot be opened until the expiration o f seven days. Mr. A. G. Eveleth, the local tinner,; cannbt say that he has not had a bath , this summer fo r there are witnesses, to prove otherwise and the bathing, process took place in the, pub lic ; street. . *( It happened something like this. , “ Block” Johnson was sprinkling the street in front o f his place o f b u s i-, ness. “ Gus,” in his good natured way “ butted in " as the slang goes. In a minute the water was headed towards 1 “ Gus" and then the scramble was on , fo r control o f Jhe nozzel. “ Gus” lost i his footing and fell in a heap, i “ Block” was on top but still conn * trolled the situation. An open shirt, large loose fitting overalls afforded ■ plenty o f opportunity to use the wat- cri to good advantage. It was a bath , in every sense o f the word. When "Gus” arose, Johnson, was out o f reach o f the htoe, which may have' had something to do with “ Block” es-„ caping in dry clothes but covered-with'* perspiration. COMMISSIONER WILLIAMSON - , HAS NORTH MAIN ROLLED, , One reason why. bounty Commis- t sioner R. D. Williamson was elected fo r • the fourth time and headed the list at that is because he is always watchful ; o f improvements that are beneficial * to the people. Friday evening Mr. ■>* Williamson -was coming into town ; from Clifton, . He noticed , that the l corporation had placed' considerable stone on North Maiii stSeefet that had ■ not been*-rolled. ■ , , ‘ The appearance of the street would J be iiriproved by the use o f the county ’’ road machinery .and travel would be much better, »The county outfit had ' just completed ’ the Yellow Springs J and Clifton pike and was headed this i way. ■Mr. Williamson took the matter ; up with local officials and as a result : that part o f Main street was put in fine condition last Saturday. J*, The official that never forgets the' public is seldom, overlooked on elec- t tion day. This has had much to do l with extending Mr: Williamson’s pop-, ‘ ularity over the county. -1 ■.*❖ 4- ♦ 4* 4> ♦ ♦ >• ,i ’ 4* .♦ MR.

HUGHE8 HAS EXPLODED THE “ KEPT US OUT OF WAR" ARGUMENT, Mr. Hughes* attack upon the “kept- us-out-of-war” argument has aroused a storm of enthusiasm, "Kept us out o f warl” . he demands. “ Why, there were nineteen men—good American soldiers, shot down at Vera Cruz, and Many Mexicans were killed by our men. .That was war.' More­ over, It was a very Ignoble war. I have heard three explanations o f the Vent Cruz move. “First, it was explained that It was made in order to compel somebody to salute the flag-somebody who had Insulted us. But the flag was not da- luted and has not been to tills day. Then It was said that the salute Vras not what we sought, but to prevent tbe landing o f a boatload of ammuni­ tion Intended for Huerta. The ammu­ nition landed, however, and It has been shown that It reached Huerta in due season without interference on our part. "When that reason was shown to be untenable a third one—and possibly the real one-flnally was advanced, It was said that our seizure of Vera C m was a move to compel tbe retire- meat of nnerta. It seems possible that this is true, although We had promised the Mexicans that wo would not interfere in their affairs and told them more than once that we wanted them to handle their own affairs. "That is why the Mexicans could not understand us and that is why they show UU}e faith in pur promisee,” Eight pacing and. six trotting events during the week, with running races each afternoon, will complete a fu ll program. The JDerby fo r the run­ ners will take place Friday afternoon fo r a purse o f $200. Purses in other saddle events will be $ 100 . each. Following the elimination contest to be held at the fair grounds Sat­ urday afternoon o f this week,, the champion horse shoe ' and - quoit pitcher o f Mountgomery county will be sent to , the slate fair next week at the expense Of the association, to compete in the Ftate event. There will also be a county contest at the fair grounds on Tuesday afternoon o f the fair. There have already been a number o f entries in the stock judging con­ test for the boys and girls, to be held Wednesday -afternoon. Secretary Holdeman personally is offering i& Bilver loving cup to the champion Btock judge o f Mountgomery county. The only limination is that the cup cannot be won two years in success­ ion. The three first highest in the contest will he sent ‘by the local ass­ ociation to Columbus during the Farmers week to be held there in February, 1917. 80UTH-IN-8ADDLE IN NAVY. Out o f tho 17 Ranking Offioara In Chargo of Naval Affairs 12 Ara From South. To Josephus Daniels, who has repre­ sented the Administration’s Policy with regard to the first line defense, is credited responsibility for cramping and thwarting progress and efficiency in the navy. Many new men have been brought into tbe Washington end o f the navy organization. Of the seventeen high ranking officers who are charged with the responsible duties o f administering the affairs of tbe navy twelve are from the Southern states, In years gone by necessity did not arise to qnestlon from what section come the officers chosen to head tbe bureaus o f tbe Navy Department.
