Darlington, prominent attorney, who marshaled the Wood forces in the county primary campaign just clos­ ed, Should Wood be nominated fo r President a t the Republican National convention and elected in November, there wilt be an entire new line-up in political circles, state and nation. I t has been known fo r some months that Captain Darlington has political aspirations, keeping his eye ever on the seat in Congress occupied by Dr. S. D* Fess. Should Capt, Darlington enter f o r Congressional honors, hard­ ly this year, with a military man as ' president and the American Legion bade o f him, there may be‘a change in congressional politics.

Johnson, local representative o f the Ohio Fuel & Supply Co., has received an order from headquarters to notify the local churches to make arrangements during the summer for some other kind o f fuel than gas for next winter. A t present the,local churches are all heated with gas and this, will require new furnaces in most them. The .company is giving ample time to make the change. I t is also hinted that a new rate will be is­ sued to be effective this fall that will make gas heating rather, expensive for- resident furnaces. The company claims to have a shortage o f gas or the demand is greater than the supply HOME ON A VISIT. .

SCHOOL BOND ISSUES CARRY HEBE AND ELSEWHERE. The bond issue fo r $8006 to purchase motor equipment to haul’ the school children in the country to town was given endorsement by the voters at the primary on Tuesday by a vote o f 133 to 60. The board has been compel­ led to h ire any kind o f stock truck to transport the pupils. I t iB gratifying to know that the public in these days always lend aid to school advance­ ment. Springfield voted a million, dollar school bond issue Tuesday fo r new buildings. Dayton turned down her street and sewer bonds but supported the school bond issue. Urbane voted for a 6140,00 school! bond issjue fpr a new building. New Carlisle authorized a 645,000 bond issue .for additional funds ‘ -to compete the building already started. Xenia experienced a bitter figbt ov­ er the 5o50,000 school bond issue. It is said thajfc every white precinct in the city gave adverse majorities but the two colored precincts gave ah oy crwhelming vote' in favor and Xenia will get two new buildings. The figh.t was augmented by a state ment o f John A. North that the Cen­ tral building wa s hot unsafe. The board o f education circulated hills at­ tacking North as a tax dodger. North secured an attorney and went to the county auditors office and investigated what taxes the board -members paid. North-paid twice as much tax as all the members o f the board combined. North wahted^to ge t his side o f the controversy before the people and o f­ fered to pay fo r space in thd Gazette. The management refused to accept it and North threatened suifcjand stop­ ping the paper using the mails as can be done under a Federal law. The Gazette accepted the advertising un­ der pressure... The campaign attract­ ed considerable interest among the Qounty seat residents. OBITUARY .
