P 0RW : SBCONJ> YEAR NO. 14. CEDARVJLL^ OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 4,1919 PRICE, $1.50 AjYEAH Prohibition For TheWorld Paragraph* 19 and '20 o f the pro- posed constitution of the League of Nations prohibits absolutely the liquor traffic among persons as dwell in or visit hinds where native races live, ac­ cording to Anti Saloon League opin­ ions, Ernest H. Cherrington, Secretary oi the League's executive committee, a- WestervilleC says a previous agree inept* adopted at what is known a the Brussels’ Conference in 1889, an< reaffirmed at Brussels ten years later, prohibited the sale of distilled liquor: to natives-only, but Prohibition did not extend, to Europeans and “ others living amopg the native races.- So al­ so did the agreement prevent the sale o f arms and,, the felave traffic among the natives. The League constitution, however.' he says, absolutely prohibits arms slaves and all sorts o f .liquors to.evary person, whether native o i foreign^ in dependant lands. * Mr. (Sherrington denies published statements to the effect that undei National Prohibition the foreign em­ bassies in this country will be giver exception in the matter o f Prohibitio; Whatever applies to an American cit- - izen, he says will, apply to any for­ eigner. ,The embassy house-itself, he says, would not be subjected to search but neither,-he says, would the house of a citizen, Unless that house became - a place Of public resort. He-points out that members o f em­ bassies and legations now are giver the courtesy of receiving goods duty­ free and uninspected, and that under such courtesy possibly some liquor might come into the embassies, but that should foreign Any representa­ tive engage himself in conduct not, ’ approved b y the TJriited States that man probably would be deemed per­ sona non grata, just as representa­ tives somestimes have been hereto- ..

OBITUARY OF MRS, MYERS Ida May Timmons was bom in this state on the 9th o f June 1867 and the state was her home until she With her parents moved to Kansas, They re­ mained there for some few years and again mdved back to Ohio settling in New Holland, Pickaway county. It was here that she grew up to woman­ hood, joining the Methodist Episcopal church o f New Holland and also be coming a teacher in the public schools Ip the year 1887 she was united ii marriage to Mr. Fred Sturtevant. Om child, a qon, Frank Sturtevant, now p: Chilllcothe, Was bom to this marriag. Mr. Sturtevant lived only a few years She was married to*Mr. Bert Myers on August 3900. To them was horr ope child, a son, Harold. For some time they lived ip Payton after which they came to liye in Cedaryille, Mrs. Meypr has been great.but very patient-sufferer for almost twenty years. As the "years came and wenf she gradually lost strength. Twoyear. ago she lost her mother and sinc£ tha tyme decline has keen most rapid. He. friends and family noted this with th greatest alarm and guarded' her froi everything that might in any manna endanger her life or. fake from her v„. tality, In e^ery way possible fhsj lightened the cares of her life and ex­ erted themselves to the utmost'to af­ ford her pleasure* and happiness and at the same time they tried to help her forget her suffering. On Tuesday, March 25 she was ta­ ken violently ill .with the grippe From the very beginning her friends were greatly alarmed concerning her condition. Her -reduced physical con­ dition was such that she could not throw- off the effects of the. disease. Last monday morning, at one o’clock her weary, spirit took its flight. Mrs. Myer was a woman of more than average -intelligence and refine­ ment. She best showed these - char­ acteristics in her home and in her in­ fluence upon her own fam ily/ In her own life she was orderly and very careful, concerning the duties of .ber-own household, - It^has ever keen- mystery how she managed, with all her great -bodily affliction, to order her house in.such a thoro manner. She was most appreciated by those who knew her most - intimately. * She1 died a member o f the M. E. church of Cedarville. She leaves a devoted bus band! her two sons, a daughter-in-law and one brother, Col, Chas, S. Tim­ mons o f the U.' S. Army, Chicago. ’ " " c a r d < sf t h a n k s . ^ •/ —WHAT ABOUT THE FRUIT?

A Cincinnati fruit grower states that fully 75 per cent of the cherries and peaches have been killed, M. A. Hagler Of this county thinks that the early fruit has sufferifcl grdat damage.

Band concert at the opera house Friday night was one of the ebst ever-given in' the county by local talent. There were sixteen pieces in the band and thejboys, were given rounds o f applause. The musical se­ lections were mostly all popular airs used by army bands and they were “put over” in grand style. The fact that a number of the members were in the army, regimental bands made thd local-concert, a success. There was a good .sized cr^wd present but not as arge as was merited for such an en­ tertainment and in recognition of the return o f the band boys from pbvoad. CediriiBe ha* the beat band the couai ty hab enjoyed ,in a,good many years and the boys will likely have all the engagements they can fill during the summer. ■*- . Many from here who journeyed to another town to get .cheap fish report that the fish were a little too aged to be palitable. The fish are sold at a very low price, yet when the quality is taken into consideration one pur­ chased considered them rather high. The fish are sold cheap fo r the reason a certain Eastern state has a law ntfw that cold storage fish cannot be kept for more than five months, The open winter has cut the sale o f this class of fish and the millionaire packers are sending out cars over the country with a couple of soldiers who have been discharged so that no local lit cehse will have to be -paid where the fish are sold.The company would have the public believe that the govern­ ment was assisting in getting cheap food to the people. The Xenia Masonic Lodge has ex­ tended an invitation to the members of the local lodge for Thursday April 10th when the lodge’will celebrate ts 100th anniversary. ‘ There will he special work, in the Third degfee com mencing at 1 o'clock in tfie afternoon to be. followed by a banquet and speak ing during’ the evening.

Agnes Easterwood, aged 18, who has made her home with Mr, and' Mrs, Samuel Sanders, eloped to Covington, Ky., last Thursday and were married. There was no suspicion on the part of the parents of the intentions of the young couple. They left in the Lowry automobile and as they did not return at nightfall there was some alarm and an investigation started. Shortly af­ terwards the groom called his parents from the home of his uncle, John Low­ rey near Waynesville, notifying them of the marriage. The bride and groom have returned to the Sanders home but expect to go to housekeeping in a short time, BARN BURNS MONDAY A* M. Issue March 5, 1892.1, W.

The House has passed the prohi­ bition enforcement bill but defeated •he emergency clause. Representative 3rabh, the author, endeavored Wed- aesday to force this feature again but lost out. A- committee consisting of Representatives Foster and ’ Stump, Dembcrats, and Bryson, Republican, called -on Governor Cdx Wednesday seeking his aid to atta'ch the emer­ gency clause but the Governor de­ fined. Nothing else could be expected of the Governor as both branches are strongly Republican, and endeavored he day previous to tie the Governor’s hands on endorsements of Industrial Commission appointments. The whole situation is caused by the constitution which has the initiative and referen­ dum. No man that believes in the new fad can deny the fact the people should be given another opportunity to vole on the measure again. It’s no !oftger a question of personal views but standing by the Bol&hvjjck consti­ tution. And the Anti-Saloon League did as much as anyother organization to force the Socialistic program on, the people. Now the League is endeavor­ ing to dodge the issue. - | The George Dodds & S ods | | Granite Company § | 113-1^9 West Main Street Xenia, Ohio 1 TiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiiiiifiniiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiii’ URGES NO GARDENS. Wo 'read an article the other day that was amusing when one stops to think about it. The writer of the ar­ ticle didn't think jthat it was necessary to urge people to put out gardens as was done la s t. year. The argument was that such work really belonged to the farmers and now that the war was over they would have jjjenty o f time to raise garden produce.,, The winter avidentily was not fafniliar with the customs aqd habits of the farmers in this section. I f the writer only knew ^hat most farmers gardens are about the 1*st spot on the farm to be plowed and that most of the garden was not only put in by the women but tended by them as well, he would not have advanced such advice. If we had to get our garden produce from the far­ mers in this section, there would be little o f it for sale. NOTICE.
