Such, is i the record that Supt, A, Z, Smith of o‘. The Ilagar Straw Bpprd Company has fo r it will be 51 years HON. HARRV L, DAVIS. •< . 1 , Governor"Harry L. Davia announ- ed last Saturday night that he will •pot be a candidate for re-election. lie gives as his chief reasons to run 'again: ? » 1— Because the-reorganization code has proven successful and is in such shape that it can he successfully op­ erated by a succeeding administra­ tion'. ■ ■ 2 —Because another campaign would take him from official duties* and he doesn't believe that public officials should desert their duties to devote months to campaigning. 4 3—Because he can render a great­ er service to the people of*Ohio by re­ maining on the jab during the re­ mainder of his term and because he wants to complete all his campaign pledges.. t \ 4—Because he harbors no political ambitions. i ' ' 5— ^Because of urgent family and business considerations. j next month sinces rhe took his first j position as helper in a beater room of ! a small Illinois mill, | In this half century of Beryiqe he | has seen great development in the manufacture of paper over what it was in those days, He has seen many inventions tried, may of which have failed but with all that the improve­ ments of today are the result of those failures. , Mr. .Smith camp to Cedarville 25 years ago and he has experienced a wonderful success in the operation of the local p la n t/ He is regarded by paper makers as on# of® the best in the epuntry and a *man that, operates a plant with as much care and the same interest as if ho ^ owned the entire plant. While he started a t the bottom and hap learned the business'until today he is an authority on straw board, he says he has never in the fifty-one years had to ask for a job. His ser­ vices have always been in demand and. he has been with a number of dif­ ferent companies. He- took up the tade when 21 years old and today a t 72 we find him as active, as careful of his work, exercising just as great interest as the first day he started to work for the local company. has been, to the benefit of the com­ munity that such a citi.Ze- has been with us these twenty-five years. Dur­ ing tha t time he has served with credit and distinction as a member of the Board of Education, the Board of Health and as a member of council. POLITICIANS GUESSING ABOUT- THE GOVERNORSHIP The county politicians have had a busy week guessing on the result of the withdrawal of. Gov. Davis as a candidate for re-election. Garni Thompson, former secretary of state seems to have the lead with Harvey Smith, present secretary of state fis second. Several others are mentioned as possible candidates but a t present, . J f t no t figure in the Itfieup. t " r * \ * ■* . - , The state papers are devoting much space to the senatorial contest. Con­ gressman Eess has spent much of bis time lately campaigning but has hot as yet pyblically announced his en­ trance in the contest. Walter Brown of Toledo will also be a candidate if reports are true. Should the new sec­ retaryship of education be created as a cabinet place it is thought that President Harding will name Dr, Fess for that honor. In that event the congressiohalship in this district will be an , open fight with Attorney Charles Darlington, State Comman­ der of the Ohio Legion as the strong­ est man Greene county can present, Of course other counties in the dis­ trict-will no doubt have candidates. As to the State Senatorial fight there are no new developments other than the fact that Senator Pence will seek a second term backed by most of the counties in the-district- While un* 4 der the rule in force in years is would ■be Greene county's time for this hon­ or but recent events have entirely elimihated this county. L. T» Marshall wants the senatorship and there is talk that W. B, Bryson would like, to try fo r it. Many farmers are out­ spoken for Mr. Bryson owing to his work for the Greene County Farm Bureau. I t would be an interesting contest between Bryson and Marshall t o t the primary nomination. * v • • I t Is almost certain if we read the signs aright that Ed Lightbiser of Xenia will -be a candidate fo r sheriff a t the coming primary. Ed has cam paigned for this place before and has always received a good vote. Xerald.

Older persons might content themselves but for the benefit of the young folks in the public schools, and college, a lecture course is absolutely necessary. Cedaryille has enjoyed a course for number of years. I t started in a modest way with very ordinary tal­ ent.
