WJ m * It Cam* to the Election of Sstad Teacher* Members Haro * EE««t«ji Dabato—Charge* of Plot- j tha* Fallowed by Denial*— j Throe Places Unfilled. j Board of Education bold a* last Friday night,' ■r— -w-w— ^ .w g a special one for the ojswtifta of teachers. For two or • three <h©rs previous it had been hint­ ed there would be some surprises: when the time came. j Tha couujadfctoe an teacher? consist­ ing, of SuOehbm'zer, Hammaa and •olltns made their report and r#eom by Gov, J, M. Cox, has announced his resignation• and will go to the Colum­ bus Dispatch on June 1st. W ‘Bur­ ba is one of the best writers in Ohio and his sendees have been sought by almost every one of the metropolitan papers. His eleven years’ service with Gov, Cox has placed his two newspaper properties among the best in tbe state. During the Governor's first tern Mr, Burba acted as his pri­ vate secretary, Mr. Burba lias the reputation of being one of the lead­ ing after dinner speakers in thia part of the state and his services .are in oonstant demand. 'GREENE COUNTY MEN mandathms. All the present teaching fore§ was recommended ’for election with the exception of Miss Harris and Prof, Merton. A report o f a high school inspector .from the State Department in Colum­ bus was read which was said to be de- ^cadedly against Prof. Morton, Ac­ cording to the report if the Board elected Prof. Morton again the grade ■ of the school would be cut, The discussion of this report brought out the fireworks. Member , Johnson . intimated that everything had been cut and dried to railroad Morton and that such a plan failed last year, .This brought out quick denial^ from the committee and Dist. Supermtendent Fortney. The com­ mittee took the position that it would ■have to stand by the report. A petition was read signed by fifty- eight members of the high school ask­ ing the board to re-elect Prof. Morton, Members Johnson and Barber claimed that recitation periods had’ been pur- • posely arranged so that Prof. Morton could not,have time for supervision, SUpt, Fortney stated each teacher had to stand on his or her merits and there was nothing personal in the action taken. "When it came to a vote two voted for Prof. Morton and three were blank. There were no other* appli­ cants for the position which -was Ipft - - open. - ; The grade, teachers elected were Ethel Edwards, Bertha CreswoM, Kathleen Blair, Esther Townsley, Epsa Stormont and Elizabeth-Blair. . .Miss Edna Shroades was not an appli­ cant for re-election.

CIRCUS RATHER DAMP AFFAIR, A large number of local people journeyed over to Springfield Tues­ day to ,see Ringling Bros, circus. Rain, cold -wind, wet grounds and late trains came hear putting the show out of business. As it' was trains .did not arrive in time for the parade and this disap­ pointed a large crowd that had gath­ ered in the morning. -A large crowd gathered Under the "big top" but it is claiir 3d by many,that the show was "cut” tc that it is far from the usual standard. .. | Council met in regular sessionMon- * day evening, all members being pres- 1eat, It had been previously announe- {ed that the ofiicers of the Community * Club would meet with council on thia (date but for some reason the dele- gation failed to put in an appearance. The monthly payment o f bills amouttdrto $820.49 with an outage or $1.32 against the Dayton Power A Light Co,‘ The finance. committee*! report showed $7,937.17 in the treasury. The question of a water power plant for Main street was under dis­ cussion for some time. A commun­ ication was read from C, M. Emer­ son of, the O.H. U. at Columbus who represents tb# Kewaunee pump com­ pany. The estimate f urnsned on cost of pump was $312.42 while if pres­ sure tank is used, $640. In the opin­ ion of council the plant was not large enough to give tne pressure needed, Bids for street oiling’were opened and the Standard Oil Company was the lowest at 6 cents a gallon for 8009 gallons. The Eaton company of Covington,. Ky., bid. 6 % cents. The lowest bid is a cent a gallon higher than last year. The lowest bidder foi? the 1000 bar­ rel fire cistern was Iliff Bros, who bid $550, Raredofi & Ford $570 and J. H. McMillan, $1000, The-contract was let to Iliff Bros. The cistern wilt be located on North street so that it .will afford prelection to all the north­ west side of town.

Flag-raisings are attended with interesting ceremonies. And why should we not be loyal til our country, in which we enjoy such privileges? It is, however, very un­ fortunate, that in this display of loy* alty to the flag there should often he such marked dishonor shown to the King to whom we are indebted for all o f the advantages that we en­ joy thru the state. As an example of jthis, the papers .announce a flag- raisingat Columbuson Sabbath,where a great crofvd of people are expect­ ed not only to do honor to the flag, but to witness a hundred-mile auto race. Jesus claims to be Lord of the Sabbath, and He made no repeal o f the law, “Remember the Sabbath Day tq keep it holy." Massachusetts lately repealed her Sabbath law for­ bidding work on that day. In So do­ ing, she has set herself in defiance against the law of God.
