Bull filed with the Auditor of Green County a petition, the prayer for which is for the establishment •and improvement of .a county ditch on the following route: Commencing at Bridge No. 17, on the Cedarville and Jamestown Pike, in Cedarville Twp., and running in a northeasterly direction, crossing the lands of A, 11.

A. E. FAULKNER, Auditor of Greene County, O. Xenia, Ohio, September 14, 1917. Mr. Morton was the son of the Rev. J. F. Morton, D." D., who was for forty years pastor of the Main Street Reformed Presbyterian Church at Cedaiville. His father died in 1903, and his mother, who was, Martha Blair, passed away last year. Mr. Morton would have reached the forty- hintli anniversary of' his birth next February. He was born in Cedar ville, and his home was in this place all his life. He attended Cedarville and Xenia high schools, took prelim­ inary college work at Monmouth, and graduated from Cedaiville college in the first, class which left that institu­ tion, in 1897. He {aught school for IS years. He began his teaching career in Ross township, later teaching in the Clif­ ton schools, and,then in Cedarville high school. He,was principal of the Cedaiville school .until last spring. All hummer his health was very poor, but he was able to be up and about. It is thought by those near to him that he grieved over the fact that the condition of his health would not permit him to teach this fall, and that this fact contributed to hasten his death. Mr. Morton married Miss Clara Townsley December 24, 1901, and she survives him with one child, Jean. There are two sisters, Mrs. W. R. Mc­ Chesney, wife of President McChes­ ney o f Cedarville College, and Mrs. T. R. Turner, wife of Dr, Turner, a minister at Dravosburg, Pa. All his life Mr. Morton .was a mem ber of the Reformed Presbyterian church at Cedarville, and for a num- ner of years was secretary o f - the Sabbath school. He was universally well liked in Cedarville, and he was given a wonderful devotion and love by all his pupils. Rarely is a teacher loved more strongly than was Mr Morton by the hoys and girls under his charge. Funeral services were held Mon­ day, Sept. 17, at 2 p. m., at his late home in Cedarville, and were con­ ducted by Rev. Mr, Patton, pastor of the Methodist church, Mr. Morton’s pastor, the Rev., Dr, Chesnut, being .ill. Rev. Patton’s.discourse was based upon the, text found in Matthew 14th chapter and 12th verse. The Rev. J. S. E. McMichael, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, assfcted in the service. . The funeral was one of the most largely attended ever known in Ced­ aiville and the deeply felt sympathy and respect of the community was plainly evident. . The floral tributes were beautiful and manifested the spirit of his hosts of friends. These tributes were given by the Berea Bible Class, the Mizpali Bible Glass, the Cedarville High School, Cedarville. Public School teachers, Cedarville Board of Public Education, Cedarville High School classes of 1916, 1917 and 1918, Cedar­ ville College Alumni, Cedaiville Busi­ ness _Men, the Kaudantra Club, Caniping Club, besides numerous other beautiful floral tributes from near relatives, close _friends, neigh­ bors and former pupils in and about Cedarville, as well as from friends and relatives in Xenia and Dayton. the or* jllairo, fell into led. muel CrlcUncrj motor ear, iwitchman, ivac Maine yards, biston, was kin- Rt of an auto.

THE FARMER’S FRIEND. ■From some of the literature, circu­ lated by the wets these days, it would appear that they are the only real friends of the farmer. They seem to be in distress at the thot of how liis taxes will he increased, should pro­ hibition prevail in November. They claim that the farmer would be rer quired to All the gap that prohibition would make. For some reason they have forgotten how much the liquor traffic adds to the farmer's taxes. Penitentiaries, jails, workhouses, and asylums are largely peopled by tlie victims 'of the traffic, and these insti­ tutions are supported by the tax­ payers, If these men who are so full of pity for the poor .farmer are sin­ cere, they can do much for his relief by closing up t their death-dealing mills. ' The fact is that by a very lib­ eral estimate it costs §2 for every $1 that the liquor traffic brings into the treasury, No charge is laid against the traf­ fic. It is only a help to the farmer if it does ruin his boy, if it can be made to appear by a perversion of the facts that it helps td pay hia taxes, Then it is surprising how much patriotism there is among these peo­ ple, according Ao their story. They blame the Prohibitionists with hold­ ing up action in Congress. Why not blame the wets? If they had been willing to allow beer and wine to go by the board, would there have been any holdup? Are they willing to sacrifice these in order to hasten vic­ tory? Cllinalone saves labor and soap, - little market for Robert T. Haw one of tbreo candidates nominated for mayor at the.

CAMPAIGN- LITERATURE. The wets expect to win, not so nu.-h by speech-making as by the distribution of literature. For this purpose they have, some very adroitly prepared material. It is gotten up so skillfully that there is much dan­ ger that it will deceive the unwary unless it is exposed.' They are doing more than preparing it. They are also getting it, to the people. These people are not concerned about-facts. It is to make facts look like falsehoods, and/ falsehoods to look lilfe facts.. What .should the drys be doing? Putting the facts in good form and getting them into the hands of the. people. By so doing, they may be able to counteract the pernicious influence, of this wet liter­ ature. Hoiv'much lias'been done in this line? • CORN CUTTING START’S. Where the fr? "• hit the coni the growth has bee*- -mpped and most o f the farmers ha\e men .cutting and hocking same.
