The case is now before Judge GREENE COUNTY FOR CEDARVILLE COLLEGE, ha* gone before—at i t e sequence. I t is the cause of what shall come after—it is a prelude. More than that, Cedarville College is a tablet of words, thought?, end deeds^ I t is the record of itself, The., record is the College and the College fa the record. I t is easy to, reckon it# * value therefrom. One has only to .look and reflect. AU is graven there. Nothing is hidden—nor should i t be, Cedarville College says to its bene- . factors:- “See, thus I was—thus I am —r-thus I should be. My claim is only v ^bis,” And the chief gem in its record • is agreat, sublime, and all-enfolding service. Why do I say this—because , the truth is this,—no college' has ev­ e r reached the place in the' hearts of th e .people that' Cedarville College has reached save through ‘service— and the loye of service. Thi^service radiates to all—i t is t universal; I think th a t the roen, “womeni«nd children who have not realized this service belong to the few. They who would not perpetuate artd improve i t—Uqw that* they have the opppr- - tunity, are the exceptions, Cedarville ' College has no hate, no whlnr, no pre­ judice, no favorites, I t believes in the narrow, the broad, the- fallen, the -• strong, the weak, the 'defenceless, the rich, the poor;, and in the good work of other Colleges, I have watched' the advertisements and' read closely the literature of this campaign and" I have observed that - there is no Inclination to overstate, to understate, to deceive, t$> exagger­ ate; not: to #aim th a t it is anything different than i t really Is, n o r does it 7 7 . ask fo r anything to" which- it is not entitled, I t i s an. Institution of benefit cancer—pu re'and simple, - I t serves'everybody, in its own pe­ culiar sphere,, no matter, therefore i t ItftfgfHirg; Xove of humanity be- . ing its foundation i t creates .happi­ ness! and -society being its benefi­ ciary, i t sweetens .our .very existence. What does i t ask in return? Nothing but the means by which i t may con­ tinue to progress fo r our benefit, * What a small payment fo r so great a , debt! We take the liberty of adding to the above thoughts, these words:- There can he but one judge of, the worthiness of the Cedarville College - cause, end tha t is the public itself. We believe th a t the- time’is now a t hand when this splendid institution honest in purpose, and economic in administration, will know what judg­ ment the public passes upon it. We further believe that it will be a just judgment. Geiger o f Springfield fo r decision, I t Is held that the estate is not liable for the .debts of the bank, the state banking deparment will proceed to distribute what assets can be conver­ ted into cash! There are many notes held by the bank m farmers that cannot be collected a t this time owing to the .condition of the,.money market and failure of crops. Then, the F , B. Houston interests are heavy creditors to the hank which leaves little for the state department to act upon. . Pending the decision of Judge Geiger, the papers are being drawn for a receivership fo r F , B, Houston md all his interests that these prop­ erties may be held fo r the bank creditors. The receivership suit is the result ef a $10,000 loan to P. B. Houston by the Manhattan Bank o f New York City. The suit covers 612 arcca of land, the Houston Farm Company, a plumbing business,' automobile and garage business,, newspaper and print :ng business, general merchandise business, hotel business,- ( inuVance. business, picture show in S>.

Since the State Board of Clemency is under the new law Judfee Kyle of Xenia has returned to his home city as his term automatically concluded when the Governor appointed J . A, Rutledge of the Anti Saloon League as head of that department- that will pass on pardons, and all paroles. The Judge will open a law office in the county seat in connection with his son, James P. Kyle- Judge Kyle oc­ cupied the common pleas bench for sixteen years and retired only a few months ago. He was regarded as one o f the leading jurists in th is judicial district. "Most everyone in th is ,section has no doubt read of-the automobile ban­ dits th a t held up Arthur B, Conery end wife; .Tabbed them, and killed the ormer early Sunday morning near Hamilton. -Conery' was a resident of tohjmbus bu t was dnnati by the Lexington Automobile Co., of Connersville, Ind. They, had shipped their1household goods and were driving to Cincinnati having all their valuables with them. When' within three miles of Ham­ ilton there was a machine th a t passed .hem and then turned across the road' jome distance ahead, The bandits trained their g u n s ' on „ Conery and .vife and ordered them to throw up .heir hands. The former refused And ,vas shot. He plead fo r them not to ihoot him again bu t four more bullets were sent into his body. A passing utomobile took the man to Hamilton where he died before regaining con­ sciousness, * The bandits escaped without much of a clue with $160 in money and con* iiderable jewelry. . Such a tragedy is much in lin e with the numerous thefts of automobiles in this state. The authorities seem to be almost helpless in tuuuing down the guilty and then Ohio laws are to* tax. The “up-life” movement in this state has been over-done along many fines. Prisoners are treated more like royal n t ility than malefactors ef the law. Ohio can only give an auto thief from one to seven years for stealing a car. In Iowa such an offense is reported to be life sentence in the penitentiary, L e ts adopt the loWa method. ■ Two big barns .burned early Mon­ day morning on the J.-;E.'Kelly farm north of 3fenia oh the Springfield pike.- The only reason that cart be given is spontaneous combustion as the fire was found in the roof of a barn filled with .new hay, The bams wore abqut 60x80 and.modem and one of them- contained about $5,000 worth - of dairy equipment. Other buildings to bum were the building containing the lighting and water systems, milk .house, garage, two cribs and two silos. For live stock about 'eight head of fat- hogs, some pigs, three calves and -two valuable Jersey' registered bulls burned. Forty tons of hay and 30 bushel of seed wheat beside the farm implements. The insurance was around $11,000 but the loss will ex­ ceed that by five five thousand or more. - The Columbus Dispatch carries a stqry. from.Washington saying that Judge E. L.
