FORTY-SECOND YlARttO. %<f" CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , JULY 11, 1919 PRICE, $1.50 A fYEAH wmmf COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING OF UNUSUAL INTEREST; THE “ COOTIES” ARE IN TOWN. The regular monthly meeting o f council "was held Monday evening, all members being present. The regular monthly bills and quar­ terly salaries were allowed, amount­ ing to $393,70, Council became a-committee o f the whole to hear complaints. They were o f various kinds from cutting weeds to the fiflthy condition.about a num­ ber o f homes in town. Council ordered the marshal to notify a number o f property oWhets to cut the weeds on their lots in three days. Charles Spencer’s restaurant came . up fo r discdssion again in that the loafers aboiit the place congregated on the sidewalk and people were crowded off the side walk, especially ladies. It appears that conditions a- bout the restaurant have also become obnoxious to T. B. Andrew and family This brought up conditions in other parts o f town. Andrew Brothers own the old Elrick property, back o f the HI. E. church, a house of ' moderate size that is said 'to contain three and probably four families, .More than once residents o f that street have complained of conditions. There is no barn on the lot and from ; two to four horses are stabled in the front yard. The occupants have been boistrous and use bad language much against the peace o f the neighborhood Women go about the house, yard and street, almost unclothed. Married and single men seem to be welcome callers at this place. Saturday night resi­ dents o f the street were annoyed until after midnight by had language. It Was only a few months ago/that the state fire marshal ordered certain re­ pairs about the property to conform: with the fire regulations. • Council took the view that Mr. An­ drew should not expect a . change in conditions about his own home until he took some action towards giving decent citizens a relief that were an­ noyed by his tenants. However the streep will be kept open for traffic. Another complaint came in about a family living on East Chillicothe street in J..C. Barber’s house. This family is noted fo r bad language and something more. Neighbors report that the family- has “ cooties'* find that their children have contracted the pest by associating with them. The house is said to bq, filthy add council ordered turned over to the Board o f Health with instruct­ ions to have them Cleaned u p .' The Board o f Health has power to clean. <up.the property and have it added to the tax duplicate Or it can order them to be vacated and closed until put in a sanitary condition. The man in the Barber p.roperty was discharged sev­ eral days ago form employment at Cedarville I>ime C6. after it was dis­ covered that “ Cooties” were strongly in evidence. As suggested by council school will open in September and o f course chil­ dren are. found in such families and they are compelled to be in school. Council realizes that the public y ill . not stand fo r such conditions and the Board o f Health is instructed to use - all its power in clearing up these two properties. Member McFarland was appointed to confer with Solicitor Harry Smith relative to. the amendment, o f the auto ordinance to conform to the new state law. WHEAT COMING IN BUT CARS ARE SCARCE. Yoder Bros, are bqsy this week-tak­ ing in wheat which is o f' a very good quality. The railroad situation is PLANS bRAWN FOR NEW EXCHANGE BANK BUILDING. Frank Hamm, the architect and contractor, has drawn preliminary plans for the new Exchange Bank prbbahly worse than it was last year i building that will be erected within when the elevators were compelled to*} the next few months on a site the Main withhold taking wheat until cars could be received. Milton Yoder stat­ ed Tuesday that he had 14 cars order­ ed for this week to be in shape to care for the wheat as fast as it came in. Out o f that number he only had re­ ceived two at that time. The elevator people are much con­ cerned over the rules o f the railroads under the present management,,If the shipper and the agent decides that a car is suitable for, shipping wheat and then it goes bad eproute to des tination’ and any part is lost, the ship per cannot receive damage. There are comparatively few freight cars that are suitable for wheat ship­ ping as the government has not kept ‘them in proper repair. This makes shipping very uncertain to the eleva­ tor people. * I THE GRADING OF WHEAT, - The grading* o f wheat this ye'ar iij an important thing and o f interest to every farmer. The presence o f rye and other foreign material means dockage to the elevators, which must buy grain under the same rules. The standards are set by the U .S. depart­ ment o f Agriculture, Bureau of Mar­ kets, and govern all wheat purchases and sales in this country. No. 1 wheat must test 60 pounds, moisture test o f 13.5 per cent; dama­ ged kernels, 2 per cent; heat ..damage 1 per cent} rye .1} other materials, .5 per cent. No. 2 wheat must test 58 pounds, moisture test, 14 per, cent; damaged kernels, 4 per cent; heat damage, .2 per cent; rye, 1 per cent; other mater­ ials, 1 per cent. ^No. 3 wheat must test 56 pounds; 'moisture test, 14.5 per cent; damaged kernels, 7 per cent; heat damage, .5 per cent; rye, S per cent; other mater­ ials, 3 per cent. bank has owned -some time at street and Xenia avenue. The proposed* plans, which have not been adopted by. the bank building committee, provide fo r a modem bank ing institution with a business room an Xenia avenue and probably two on the Main street side beside the bank room. ,1 , ? The plans pfqvide for a handsome bricK structure with terra cotta trim­ ming. The interior is designed to meet the needs o f the- bank and fo r the convenience o f the public. Ample safety deposit vaults o f the most mor- ern design will be installed. The directors held a meeting Tues­ day at Which time the hew building was discussed’ and a building commit­ tee consisting o f Gfeow. W, Rife, 0 , L. Smith and M. I. Marsh was appointed to visit modern banking institutions abd get ideas suitable to the needs o f S.uch a building fo r the Exchange Bank's new home... ACID BURNT HIS EYE. George F. Siegler, who is connected with the Houston interests in South Charleston, received bums about the eyes and face several days ago when another party dropped a gallon o f sulphuric acid. Although “Mr. Siegler Was fiVe feet Sway he wUs^splashed causing a serious > bum to one eye and slightly on his face. His clothfes were also burned. Dr, Nehls was called and gave immediate' relief but fearing that hjjs sight might be injured Dr. Nehls- took Mr. Siegler to Dr.- Reed Madden in Xenia. It is known at this time that the sight- was not injured. LOOK OUT FOR LAND TAX., The present legislature has provid­ ed a way to break down the one per cent tax law. This law was passed several years ago on the promise to land owners as well as home owners ... that they should be increased in valu­ ation. which was done at that time. In this was the property owner^de­ fended against outrageous tax rates as we had under the old law. It looks now as if the one per cent- law was doomed to go fo r the tax spenders in the legislature have opened the ( way. Classification o f property for taxation will be voted on this fall. This seems to be the only solution. It carried two years ago but the courts set is aside owing to a confliction with the mort­ gage exemption. I f* classification is not adopted this fall land owners will see valuations increased as well as the tax rate. A friend of the writer, who owtis several hundred acres o f land stated sofne weeks ago in discussing this subject, that if classification of property did not carry this fall, every foo t o f his farm land would be placed . on the market the next day. The demand fo r more revenue to run the state, schools and towns 1 b going to be answered by higher tax valuations on land unless some other means is adopted to raise revenue. SPRING WHEAT A FA lLURE r Farmers that experimented with spring wheat had all their work fo r nothing this season. In the early sum­ mer the wheat looked fine and there was every indication o f a good pros pest, About two weeks ago the ex tesstve heat is said to have burnt the wheat just as it' was heading. / Swaby and A. T. Finney each had small acerage. Spring wheat has been by a number o f farmers in Professor Alfred Itogerson Barring­ ton. 58, of the Ohio State university department of mus’e, was killed by a streetcar at Columbus, Harold StraussbUrg, 31, Of Sharon, Pa., was killed at Youngstown during a community fireworks exhibition' when fi-n aerial bomb, failing to ex­ plode. struck him *s it descended. While lie was standing under a': tree on the* Holler farm, weBt of Newark, George Cozocea,.4$,. was struck and instantly killed by lightning. Instead of experiencing the joys of a wedding, Miss Grace Bland directed the work of .searcUthg for the body of her fiance, Peter Warehouser, 30, of Steubenville, who Was drowned while R. M. McKEE IS DEAD; ! ■ FUNERAL THURSDAY,! Postmaster Turnbull received a tel- < egram Wednesday announcing the j death of R. M. McKee. The body a r - : rived at Gieenwood, Ind., Wednesday, andthe funeral took place at his o ld . hpme at Orange, Ind„ Thursday. j • The deceased was formerly engag- ■! ed in the hardware business here first. in partnership with Joe McFarland j and latter taking over the business ] himself. Last November he was fo r- ’ ced to leave this climate owing to rap - 1 id declining health and he disposed of his business and located in Denver, Colorado. . ■* For some time after his arrival in Denver he continued to improve but several weeks ago his condition grew WHO IS THE ONE AND WHO ARE THE EIGHT? According to State Audtter^peaa- hey there were on March 4, 1919'370 National Banks in Ohio with deposits of $765,000 000. The deposits of the building and loan associations amount ed to more than $116,000,000. Private bank deposits $965,000,000, a total of the three o f more than $1,800,000,000. According to the State Thx Commis­ sion there was only $226,831,000 re- returned for taxation.. This indicates that not more than one dollar in eight has told the truth under Ohio’s self- serve assessing law. PRIZE FIGHT A FIZZLE. EIGHTH ANNUAL PICNIC AND FARMERS’ FIELD DAY; The eighth annual farmers’ picnic and field day o f Greene county will be held at Kilkare park Tuesday, July 24 and a program of unusual interest has been prepared, L. J. Tabor, master of the Ohio grange and J. C. Kotcham, master o f the Michigan grange and on the afternoon program. The much discussed prize fight on the Fourth at Toledo was a fizzle in more ways than one. The crowd was. little more than 20,000 when it was advertised that nearly, all of the 80,- 000 seats were sold. The fight was a fizzle due to the fact that it only last­ ed three rounds, and three poor ones at that from the puglistic standpoint. The financial gain came near being a fizzle as the gate receipts were only a- bout $420,000. O f this ^Willard re­ ceived '$lw ,000 an3 $10$6o* additional ’ox training ekpenses and in exchange eceived a good.beating at the hands of his challenger; Dempsey received $27,500 and $10,000- for training ex­ penses and the honor that goes with the championship. The government takes wg.r. tax amounting to $41,000 and Toledo charities about $30,000 as the license for the fight. The promo­ ters erected an arena that cost $150,- 0Q0 so that the profit was not' great to anyone unless it was Willard. NO ONE IS WORRYING NOW. What about the flu? How many are giving the recent epidemic any con­ sideration this hot weathpr. We were told last winter that cold weather had no effect on stamping out'the disease, If hot weather will kill it we should be free for some years to come. The re­ port o f the State Board of Health is encouraging. We are not to have any more o f the flu. SAVED THE BABY BUT FORGOT THE BUGGY. According to police news in Spring field Chester M, Preston of Clifton re­ ported that he had driven his auto a- way from the Myers market building without taking with him a sulky baby buggy which had been allowed fco stand beside the machine. .The polite were asked to locate it.

We understand that a movement is on among some o f the leading citizens in the town along the Columbus pike to seek the aid o flh e state jo brick this road froth Columbus to Xenia. While the cost of brick is much great­ er than anyother material yet the life of a good brick road is ten times long er. ‘A drive over any of [he brick roads out of Dayton will convince any one that brick paving is the best in vestment.

The The world’s biggest amusement in­ stitution, Ringling Brothers and Bar- num & Bailey Shows Combined, is to exhibit afternoon and night at Dayton on Friday, July 25. The consolidation of the “ Greatest Show on Earth” in one circus o f colos­ sal size, constitutes the amusement surprise o f the country. Nothing to appprach this gigantic new circus has ever before toured America. It has been fi rmed by mergig the pick and the cream of all that was biggest and best in the two famous shows.

For instance a herd of 8 giraffs are exhibited in the place of the two- or three shown in the past. The great tournament which opens the main-tent program, is the most magnifiennt thing in pag­ eantry yet produced in America.
