FORTIETH YEAR NO, 15. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDA^ MARCH 30, 1917 PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR NEW COMMISSIONER, Mr. R. E, Cowry has been named county commissioner for the unex« ptred term of the late John Conwell. The appointment was made by Pro­ bate Judge Marshall, County Auditor Faulkner and Recorder Thomas. I t is Mid there were a large number of applicants. Mr, Corry isr a man well qualified for the place and will be a valuable member of the board. VACANT LOT GARDENS. The community club should arrange for the gardening 'of every vacant lot in town> In doing so the organiza­ tion would not only be following a well established precedent set in cit­ ies but lend that much aid towards supplying the markets. This year above all years should find every plot of ground available in garden produce to help supply the shortage in food products that now exists and will be greater in the event of war, which seems but a few days off. Governor Cox lias issued a timely proclamation for extensive cultivation of the soil pn the part of Ohioans and the com­ munity in 'arrang ing for vacant lot gardening' will not only be following this call of the governor but would be doing a service for families in need. OLL1E DODDS DEAD. Word was received here Sabbath of the very sudden death of Mr. Ollie Dodds a t his home in, Akron. While he had been suffering with heart trouble for the past year, yet his condition was not considered serious. The deceased was forty years of age and was the only son "of Mayor William Dodds *of Xenia. For the past eight years he has been con- . nected with the Erie railroad as as­ sistant division freight agent. He was a member of the Elks lodge in Akron, Mr. Dodds wail married to Miss Edna Wolford, daughter of the late J. H. Wolford of this place, who survives him. The body was brought to the home of 'the parents a t Xenia where the funeral was held Wednesday after­ noon. Burial took place a t Wood­ land cemetery. Upon learning of Mr. Dodds’ death Postmaster Turnbull and Miss Ber­ nice Wolford left immediately for Akron. WANTS MONEY RETURNED. Jennie Jackson has brought suit against Mayor R. P; .McLean fo r the JMpirn of $300 deposited as bond when she was arrested la s t fall on a liquor 'eKsii^^IBnuiQtotfr found the, woman th e nfte ’v5SSitaken'l'rom this money and the balance given to h e r attorney, Sully' James of Spring- held, who defended her. James re­ fused to turn the money over t6 the woman until she would settle her at­ torney fee. The mandamus suit against the mayor would compel the return of the full amount. The case against the Woman was filed by the State Liquor- License , Commission. This is the second case where local • officials have gotten into trouble over liquor cases and it is going to be some time before the state authori­ ties will ever get any sucl* cases filed in the local court. * THE DRY CAMPAIGN. One of the first steps toqjie taken in. the city dry campaign is that of AGAINST STEALING FORDS Representative W. B. Bryson was able to get a bill through the legis- organization.

Miss Lulu Henderson has been appointed from (Cedarville Township, While organization is an important step, it will not be of any avail un- much hesitation as he was unfortun­ ate in. having his Ford stolen last year, neyer getting trace of it.

The liquor lobby fought, it. At last they’ comnroinis- ed by raising the age from 18 to 21 when a girl could enter a wine room. Why will men send representatives of tha t character to make our laws? What has become of our Anti-Sa­ loon League that used to claim that it was their business to look after the legislature? Have they with­ drawn in favor of the liquor inter­ ests ? That is what- they seem to be doing in some states.
