That much has been done already. I t has already been decided that we circulate literature, That was Neal Dow’ s scheme for turning dowu the traffic in Main. Enlighten the people. I t is also a Bible method. “ For lack of knowledge the people perish,’ ’ Then It mUBt'be literature suitable to tbe condition ef the people. I t must not be indiscrimi nate circulation. The lowering or increasing o f the taxes will not ap peal to the men who pays no taxes. Y e t the truth on the tax question is the very thing that the man needs who has the taxes to pay. He needB to be informed that tbe liquor man is deceiving him when he tells him that he w ill be overburdened with taxes if the state goes. dry. Then we * r» to have a Dry Exhibit, so that people may be taught thru the eye as well as thru thesar. Indeed, vrhat we see im presses us more than what we hlhr.

Dr. Joseph Kyle presented a petition to Major Cnsty who stated that al though there would still be Sunday flights but Xenia would be left off the route. The Business Men’s Association took up the matter last Friday and in a short time had about 200 signa tures asking the aviation authorities at Fairfield to ignore the former pe tition and continue making flights ax had been arranged for. As a result o f this situation, lines in the city are beginn ings be drawn pretty tight. Many o f the business men held to the view that if the fly ers did not cqme to Xenia they would go elsewhere and that hundreds would have an opportunity o f seeing them that had not automobiles nor any means of getting to Fairfield. It was argued that hundreds of the most prominent church people could be found at Fairfield most any Sab bath afternoon and that the poor people should have the right o f see ing the p a r f Uncle Sam is taking in the war. The'issue promises to cu! some figure at the coming election. NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE FILMSTARS ANDPICTURES P PRICE, $1,00 A YEAR, GREENE COUNTY PETITIONS IN COURT CONTEST The last legislature passed what wasuknown as the Reynolds law giv ing women the right to vote in this state. As most of the organizations favoring suffrage for women in years passed were wild over the initiative and referendum, and this Socialistic form of legislation having been given the people, it is to be used against the women having a right to vote by de feating the Reynolds act by referend um. The opponents of women’s suff rage sent out petitions which were filed with the secretary o f state, more than enough names having been sub scribed. -The suffrage association at tacked the petitions a&Acgegular and brought suit at Columbus to throw out those from IT .counties- The Judge gave a half and half decision for each side. The Supreme court now gets the question ,and ’.if this body stands by former decisions that Boarc of Elections have final jurisdiction as to tbs validity o f petitions then the people 'wil get a chance to vote for or against the suffrage question. The opponents of suffrage claim the rea son the suffrage association is making this court attack is because they are afraid to let the people have a, say. The last referendum defeated suffrage by more than a hundred thousand. In the list o f counties are the Greene county,\Jpetitiorta which it is claimed, were not certified properly. **»*■>*v. *•- ,i a COUNTY BOARD GIVES *LIST OF.
