The girls was in swimming at the time but it is said she had not had much lekperience for such a deep place Governor Davis followed the action o f former Governor Cox in refusing :o- accept the 500 acre farm, Riverside willed to the state fo r forestry 'and botanical purposes on condition that the State would not permit any kind o f religious services on it, I f the state turned down the bequest the farm was# next te be offered to Greene county. The County •Commissioners have not at this time taken any action on the matter. What the probable action will be is netaknown. It has been in­ timated on more than one occassion that the church interests o f the county would oppose it and that the Farm Bureau would not'endorse it. Various*reasons are given why the county should not accept it outside o f the religious feature o f the will. First well known farmers say the? farm is not adapted to experimental work. That it would be a source o f expense to the taxpayers and not yield enough funds under any- man­ agement to return’ a profit. That i f it was adapted to experimental work the state Was only able to finance it. That tax funds are n6w inadaquate to meet county, municipal and school needs and takiiig over the farm would only add to the burden o f the tax pay­ ers o f the county* . , ORDER YOUR OIL.

All o f this money must be used fo r road or street repair. We hope that the next represen tative from this County, who ever he may be will be induced to introduce a bill that Will force the secretary o f state to distribute the auto license money on a different plan than at preseht. The year Is half gone and l;he village hits not yet received one cent o f this money fo r street repair. The auto owner paid out his money last December or in January but the state officials are holding it. The funds coming to,.the county cannot be distributed by the auditor until the August settlement, 4 Voters at the coming primary should keep in mihd Harvey Smith, preseht Secretary o f State, who has the license management under his direction. His methods o f conducting the office have not been sasltfactory on this one thing. He has also re­ fused through his registrar to per­ mit banks to issue the liceiisek where they offered to do so gratis, to the auto public.*. Instead he pfermittef certain individuals to have this job and the auto owncri was compelled to send by mail or pay the politick favorite ten cents fo r each license plate.
