O f this amount *133,100 was pledged, Wednesday at noon, leaving a balance o f *57,000 to be se­ cured. Considering the depressed bus­ iness and- industrial conditions, a splendid atart-bas been made toward raisingthe *200,000. When it is re­ membered that the campaign to se­ cure the *200,000 is to cover a period af life years, it is a source o f encour- igement and gratification that* within ;he first eight weeks o f the campaign 'jwo-third* o f the amount has been as­ sured. Moreover many, who doubtless will give, have not been approached. Contributions are coming daily. Over two-hundred, u£ho have been solicited and are likely to give, are. yet? to be heard from . Quite a number o f those have already subscribed have signifi­ ed their intention to increase their subscriptions, There are several pros oects o f good subscriptions. Several people are voluntarily, writing to friend* o f means and -suggesting people who should be solicited. Every body is interested. The one thing to keep in mind and to be intensely impressed -with- is this that the call o f Cedarville Cob lege for *200,000 is absolutely 'neces­ sity* I t is positively ‘the very, least amount that the College must have to meet and satisfy the demands o f the State Association o f College*. Since this is true it remains-for hone o f Us to. rest or spare our efforts until the 567,000, yet lacking, is secured. A t a meeting o f the Board o f Trus­ tees last Friday, *68,000 o f sthe *133, 000 was voted out and added to the endowment fund. This brings the endowment up in actual holding* and subscriptions to *200,000, or the a- mount required by the State Associa­ tion will not recognize the college en­ dowment until the subscription 'thus turned oyer to*the, endowment has been paid in and is an actual cash or money endowment. Moreover the State Association requires the science ball and the gymnasium to be erected and equipped before the college will lie fully recognized. Consequently it ris .apparent that the sooner the sub­ scriptions and -pledges already made are paid into-the college treasury, the sooner the college'w ill receive recog­ nition and be out o f the peril o f bav­ in# to close its doors. - Once more, let us.remember that Cedarville College is not .saved, .not raise and secure the remaining *67,-. 000, or in ,other wonis the whole *200, 000 which we set out to secure. Real­ ise fully that this is the least possible amount which the college must. h&ye. Do not delay the matter thinking .hat it wilt come in five* years. Now while the interest'is high is the tiriie ;o give and to cooperate in every pos­ sible way to save Cedarville College md establish it permanently. Thankful to all who have given and moperated to secure what the College! haa secured, trusting in your love for ;he college and the community that you will unuringly continue in the work so well begun, and confident in the ultimate success ,o f our undertak­ ings, let us faithfully go on to finish the task conimited to us. * ' - Your sincerely, , W . R. McChesney, President Cedarville College. Are Vacant. CORRECTIONS ON LAST REPORT Hi compiling a list o f names and amounts o f pledges hurriedly as was done at the end o f the College drive compaign, thero naturally would be a few errors and ommissions. Some were credited with the amount o f cash paid and not the pledge, etc. So we have the corrected list todate: John R. Smiley, St. Louis, previous ly reported as Jos. R, Smiley 410.00 Howard Bratton, Fairbault, Minn, gave *50.00, reported as *40,00 Maty Murdock, Cedarville, 600.00 should have been reported as given by N. E» Steel as .a memorial to Mary Murdock.

Several seem to be going begging and from all indications the. only'as­ pirants to furnish a real contest wilt be six well known men out for town­ ship trustee when only three can be successful. While these slx men scramble for trustee two places on school board will be unfilled. Three places will be­ come vacant oh January 1 and only me candidate' has filed.; In the village all sffx. councllmen will retire at the end o f the year and not a petition was filed. There was no candidate for asses­ sor-in the village. Men seem to have lost the taste fo r public, office and though women have suffrage they shun public office. Those who retire from the school ward say they want no more o f it pnder the present laws. Members o f Council say- the people expect them to io the impossible -when the legisla­ ture does not provide, the revenue af­ ter a levy is made by council. The on- -y way for others to find out the sit­ uation is for them to become members of council as well as school board. Cedarville is no different than many other towns over the state. Hundreds, offices will remain vacant‘ January 1 due to the fact that no candidates are available at the next election in No­ vember. The following qualified fo r Cedar­ ville township candidates: Trustee—H. A , Turnbull, M. W. Collins, CollinsyWilliamson, Howard Turnbull, Harry Townsley and G. H. Smith. Clark—‘Andrew Jackson. / Treasurer—J. E. Mitchell and J. W. Johnson. Assessor—C. E, Cooley. Constable—Charles Turner. Board o f Education— E. E. Finney. In the Corporation the following qualified: Mayor—J. D. M ott.. Clerk—J. G. McCorkell. Treasurer—Karlh Bull. Marshall—Harvey Myers.* Council—No candidates. Under a law passed by the legisla­ ture last winter the members o f the County-Board o f Education must be elected by the people. There-are three mmbent will be candidates / fo r re- election; . They; are J. E. Hastings, A* L .Fischer and W. B. Bryson. . THIRTY FOUR CASES FOR AUTOMOBILE THEFTS. TYe had business in Columbus Mon­ day that brought Us In touch with the work the Columbus police and detec­ tive department have been doing in landing automobile thieves/Thirty- four men are in.the county jail charg­ ed with stealing cars, I f the criminal courts handle the .cases as quickly as the grand jury seemed to make pro­ gress every man will soon be behind the walls o f the pen. ’ By the courtesy o f. the Franklin County Sheriff, the two automobile detectives o f the police department, took us through that institution. The turn-key stated that 126 men had just been served supper and when we looked over that mob o f wrecked humanity we made up our mind that more than pne half o f the people did not know how the balance lived. It so happened that the man that is charged with lifting our car last June- had been unruly and had to be placed in the dungeon fof*violating the jail niles. Depravity marked every line iri his face as he was brought o f o f his quarters where daylight - never enters. He will be fed bread and Wat­ er fo r three days and night. While confined in the dungeon he has no means o f knowing the beginning or the ending o f the day, neither can he hear what is going on about the institution. He is not fed his bread and water at regular meal hours so- that he looses the time o f day. Punishment on such criminals can­ not be too severe. Building and loan and savings in­ stitutions in Greene coanty made a gain during tht year o f *256,145 Ac­ cording to State Supt. o f Building A Loan Associations, John Prugh. The assets for the seven institutions in tb* county amount to *4,202,085 a- ggaiUSt *8,045,080 for the previous year, a gain o f seven per cent. There were three building and loan institutionsin the county 10 years ago with a total assets o f *1,770,201.

When1 he tsituation was canvassed-it was found to be cheaper to hire another truck. BoardRecinds First Action The Board o f Education'some day* ago decided to relieve the school trucks 9 f part- o f -the overload -and take advantage o f the law that does not compel the board to transport children under the two mile limit, The board felt it was either do this or purchase another. truck and the money was not available. Tbe patrons in the two mile limit seriously objected to the board tak­ ing advantage o f the law. Many ten­ ants on farms in the two mile limit wer* left without any means o f get­ ting their children to -school.
