Fortune loads a fellow some merrj chase* sometimes b a t surely it was i “freak of fortune” th a t ever led me up to this little pond of the world, i can't tell you just how it all came a bout but i f you will accept the om fact that I am here enjoying a ll tht comforts and liberties th a t a blue sky bona fida ( passport can ■afford an American citizen I shall try to tell you a few little inside things about “windmills and wooden—shoes” that you or I were never taught about in either Fry’s Or McNally’s geography. When I first landed a t The Hague alighting from the rattling little toy train from Rosendasl I was hailed im­ mediately fo r a “tip” by a f a t Dutch­ man. Upon inquiring why I should make him this donation he replied: “Woy, Mijnheer, peecause I vosdSr first to bin see dot you vos* an Amer­ ican”. I n a l l due modesty l must say t h a t I have been unfortunately compli raented over since. ■Before I cotild es­ cape from the station I had quite a little pilgrimage a t my heels all want­ ing to do me some service a t the pre­ scribed'rate, I must have a guide, I must take a cab; I must visit the American hotel, I must explore .the Zuider Zee and a dozen other things Which of course would cost me a t the proscribed rate* So be it, I first learn th a t Holland is noted fo r something else beside cheese. and th a t is what the soldier-terms, literally’ “degrofc- hers”. ' ■ ■ , ’ Holland dries are fu ll . of beggars, M you wish to beg over here you must procure an official license. Apparent- ly these are easy to get because most everybody jfeOms to have one'.

There>are absolutely no hills. The nearest thing to.any I have seen- is the hump ove)r a canal draw bridge. There are so many windmills th a t to look, across country reminds "you ofabig'centiped struggling on its hack. The canals are Ml built up high­ e r than the country on either side and to see the sail boats skimming along a t a, distance you might welHmagine you are seeing a mirage. The fields are always green, and dot­ ted with f a t sheep and black and white cows. 1 mean ju st what 1 say when I say BLACK AND WHITE be­ cause figuratively you could count all of the red cows in Holland oft your fingers. The cow is better thought of and surely better taken care o f than many of the children. The bard is a Continuation of the living quarters and you can often s it a t tbe table in th Odinifig room and see Miss Mpoley dolefully chewing turnips and gazing casually out upon the monotonous landscape thru laCe-curtained win­ dows. The cities of Holland are kept very neat and trim and remind me very much of picture designs 1 have seen on tbe back of childrens Xmas books. The houses are Ml built together and painted in a, dozen bright colors. The roofs are of red tile with now and then a thatch roof. The streets are so narrow tha t 1 know of a Certain man in Cedarville whose legs Would Span any of the down town BROAD­ WAYS. During shopping hours 'and a t meal time these narrow streets arecrowded with carts and bicycles and hurrying people th a t you have a groat time making your way thru and as such trader law* as turning to the right are unknown hers you can imagine the turmoil. The towns are given a scrubbing every day by the women pofftfiaes who carry water from the eafiM {that Is alwoya nearby) and douae it over the premises. As some of1 b* canals use little used the water in them gets a h it stale and its con­ tinued, usage day a fte r day gives the a rathe* antique odor. “ jPWrwWM hoist of betef tief'Wm&b in tbs world and 1 must igy’jjwy stand 'true to tradition as far is concerned.

How­ ever cruel as this may seem to some Americans you never hea r of a dog being POISONED over here. Wooden shoes or “Klomps” as they are termed by. the natives are worn by the poorer. classes but leather goods has become so scarce here that many others have had to resort to the woodpile. These Klomps are to me lie queerest asset to this tiny count­ ry and to hear the ndisy click clock of them on the cobbles, to see the children playing games in them and. sweethearts making love in them is a laughable sight to behold. These Klomps are left, bibical fashion, a t the front doorway and one can al­ ways tell how large the family or the gathering inside by observing the row of Klomps a t the door. . ’ To a belle the Holland . girl must, possess exceeding wide hips and if nature Was net kind she needs must pad the skirts a t this section, to make herself attractive, Some do not even trust to circumstantial evidence and help bountiful nature along consider­ able with profuse padding until the Dutch girl reminds me Of a ^baloon held to the ground only by the over­ weight of wooden ballast. .Her head- gear consists of a white cap held in place by two giant, brass knobbed hair pins that stick out on her fore­ head like horns on a beetle of by gone days.

GOV, GOX IS JNCONSISTANT. There is a great - display of fire works in the legislature over the faet that Gov, Cox wants all the Ger­ man abolished from all public and private schools. We *wish to ‘ com­ mend thq Governor for his- stand on that opint., But to be consistent .the Governor should look back: and see what kind o f a school law he and his legislature gave the people when the county school law,was’fbreed upon the peopje a few years ago. This law was made after the plan used in Germany.. The survey of the State a t that, time was made by one from a city where Frussian ideas prevailed a t that time; the law was put in force' first by one who advocated the German method and was himself schooled1 in a. German university. All fifis was done under the Governor’s administration and by persons whom he appointed. To bd consistent the Governor should now remove the obnoxious law of Prussian ideas or a t least urge the legislature, to do so as hh h a s . done in; h is la s t me4spgn.relative tpvteachiiig th* Gee- man language. The ‘presem -'county law' has more of a tendency to lead to autocracy than does the teaching of German spread the .ideas of Bismark or of William, the dethroned. The Republicans are in control of both branches of the legislature. If the dominant party wants to show up the Governor’s position, here. is the chance. ■ County Auditor-elect, R. O, Wade, with a delegation of Greene county citizens appeared before , the edu c - tional committee of the House sev­ eral days ago to urge tbe passage Of the bill that would require the elec­ tion of the members of the county board of education by popular vote on a non-parfiaian ticket at-large, Our representative, W- B, Bryson, is a member of that committee, which is usually “packed” in the interest of the hook trust and the school poli­ ticians, Mr, Bryson endeavored in his speech to defend the present’law which had its inception in Germany and Was pu t in force iii th is sta |e by ( educators that had had their train­ ing in Germany and fo r years have been noted as politicians, Mr, Bryson is a member of the, county board in this county which no doubt had much to do with his stand on the hearing the other day. H e ; made a lengthy speech picturing the results in this county but a t no time did he allude to the $12,000 yearly the tax payers are called- upon .to pay for the expense of administering ‘the law in this county. The cdufity auditor’s books show that this sum1 is required to pu t the German idea in force in this cabnty. If there is any one who would like to elaborate on the benefits de-' rived there columns are open. ‘ County' Auditor-elect Wade, has had' considerable experience in ' school affairs; he is a keen observer of pub­ lic events and sentiment as well; a s . a convincing speaker he has few su­ periors and can drive facts home in a telling anf forceful manner. The com­ mittee,?iron bound a s such committees usually are, sit, up and took notice. It was a striking contrast to Mr. Bry- son’s, views. Saturday evening there appeared Li­ the Xenia Gazette an article over Mr. i Bryson's name that is , a s > misleading as it is false. Mr.'Bryson says he iS'-‘, J .' NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS .

A representative of the Income Tax Department will be in Cedarville on March 3 and 4 and will be located a t the Exchange Bank where all those seeking "advice in making out their papers can be accomodated. Accord­ ing to infomatioh from the depart­ ment there will fie many persons that did not file returns last year that will be compelled to do so this year, O. L. Smith and L. F . Tindall atten­ ded a meeting in Xenia Monday night in the interest of the new tail law* Mr F. C, Sommers will be sent to this place to assist the tax payers. The Farm Bureaus of this state re ­ cently organized-a' State Federation and O, E. Bradfote of this place Was chosen chairman. A meeting was re­ cently held a t Utica, New York for or­ ganizing a national movement and Mr* Bradfute attended this meeting. He was a member of a committee of five to work out plans for a meeting to be held in Chicago'at some future date. One of the functions Of the national organizations will be .to assist in Col­ lecting and compiling data relating to the cOst of crop and animal produc­ tion and by judicious advertising ac­ quaint the public in general with the facts in the case* open for conviction as to how to vote on- the hill that will provide for the, - election of county, hoard members by ‘ a popular vote. If be is, his article proves otherwise, for every argument..' tends to support the present lawl V Mr, Bryson’s argument tha t the ’" new bill weuld make the county board ‘d! a taxing body is all bosji *nd any faif minded citizen must admit it.' Such £*statement Is for no -btHeir’purjStfSe than tp scare tax payer? and make them stand by th e ' present German­ ized law,. • Go fa r the strongest opposition is from the county superintendents over the state who are milking the tax payers for doing little more than holding down a job and keeping the' machine in running order. Is it any wonder these men do not waht the public to have a direct voice >in the management of school affairs? The Kaiser could not have asked fo r more. The bill may fail passage, we ate not in position to predict knowing; that legislatures are oftened governed by .silent forces. If we are in position to guage public sentiment in the county Mr, Bryson will urge and vote first for the repeal of the present Ger­ man made law; if this is not possible he will vote for the bill to permit the • women and men of this county as well as the entire State to choose their owit school authorities, Mr. Bryson can­ not urge woman’s suffrage with a clear conscience and then vote against this bill; The'position he has creat­ ed for himself •should be his own guide. # WHAT SIMONDS SAYS.

They also f it the footprint in the irttid but who wore them was something else. The buggy used bad. feathers in it and the horse was Wet with sweat and mud.
