CEDARV ILLE , OHJ K FR ID AY , APR IL 20, 1923 Governor Kills Bryan FarmAct There was much surprise when G qv . Donahey refused to sign a til} passed oy the legislature empowering the ■Governor to tceept the John Bryan farm o f 500 acres, left to the state for a game preserve and for­ estry Under the terms o f the Bryan will. The fact that tho farm is located in this county and that the Fish and Geme organization was urging the acceptance ef the farm created an un­ usual amount o f interest. Recently a delegation consisting of Lew Cleven­ ger, Harry Rice and R. B. Williamson called on the governor in the interest , of the bill. The delegation was under­ l ie rmpression'tljat the bill would he' come a law. • . The reason assigned fo r the veto was op, the grounds tnat the bill was ual, contrary to public haft it, conflicts with tho 1787. Tho will provided me was the state to per* 5ous ceremony oitjlhe land the third time the farm has been turned down. First by Gov. Cox and second by Gov, Davis. .The reli gious organisations opposed the > c ceptance- of the farm under the terms o f the will. Bryan .was a non-believer in a Diety. Under the will if the state refuses to accept the farm it then was to be offered to Greene county. There is not the remotest chance of the county ac­ cepting the farm for If so it woulc; have to -be done under the same clause forbidding a religious service. Again many farmers oppose the county tak­ ing, the farm over in that it-could not be made to earn its upkeep owing to the character of the Buildings, The buildings now are in a bad state of repair and. there is not a good fence dn the five hundred acres, Most of the land is untilable or unfit for cul tivation. - The only question now is whether the legislature will pass the bill over the governor’s veto. ' Representative Broadstone thinks this will be done. Most Unpopular Man In Town AVNJ, V 0 U O l C R A £ , Y Q U f Jterald. A K-KWURAm MSV0T180 * 0 LOCAL ANC GENERAL NKW8 AND THE!

He had not been in good health for the past two- years but some months ago- improved and was able to take a post tion as salesman for tne Dayton Buick Company. He contracted pneumonia and later eurewic poisoning developed which results<Uin ’his death. The deceased was born, ‘ here and was educated in the public schools but has been a resident* of Dayton for the past few years! He was regarded an excellent njechanic and during the war held a responsible place at Me ’Cook field. He bad much experience as a flyer hut was never licensed. It is thought that the strain of flying had much to do with breaking his health, He is survived by a wife and two daughters, Victoria, aged nine, and Mildred, aged eight. Besides his pa rents, two brothers, Charles and Glenn Lowry, of Dayton, survive. The funeral was private.and held from the home o f his parents, Tues­ day, the services being in charge of his pastor, Rev. J, F, White of the U. P. Church.

As the Republican legislature boasted much about this bill it is*almost certain that tne Donahey veto will be over ridden. While tax- rates will be increased in the cities, the rural rate will be cut down. The Governor also vetoed the bill changing the manner of. making the annual assessment. Instead of the assessors being- elected, it was pro­ posed that they be appointed by the chairman of the county commissioners the prosecuting attorney and the au­ ditor. within the past month. The same can be said of the tire companies. The steel companies are several months behind with orders due to lack o f sufficient labor and transportation fa­ cilities. .For the past few years we have not let many foreigners ■come ' tti our shores. There is a demand just now on the part of manufacturer and farmer to lift the restrictions that more labor can be supplied. On tbe other side thousands are anxious to locate in this country. These men with their families once here must be clothed and’fed. They will be in the market for what the country manufacturers aiid what food pro­ ducts the farmer raises. Production in thils country surpases consumption and with these increases the farmer should get better prices for his pro­ ducts. house and an accoUni profits.

SHERIFF WILL NOT OBJECT NEW LAW ADDS SAFETY FOR BUILDING AND ROANS Those interested *in building.and loan associations will also be pleased to know that these organizations in the state have succeeded in having the legislature pass a law that provides more* protection to depositors and stockholders. Under this law .all offi­ cers of a loan organization must be bonded and no loan can be made other than on first mortgage r security on real estate and on government, state, and municipal bonds. The bill also pro vides for stricter examinations and no loan company can be organized by promoters. These changes were made by the legislature regardless of the fact that not a single depositor in a building and loan in the state had lost a single penny during the last decade.

With no increase whatever in ppp- fiation the potential market for «u- omobiles in the United states it 20,- 00,000, according to this banked. There are now in use in the U, S. .3,000,000 cars. During March of this year there were manufactured and sold 346,000, the greatest number in the history of the auto- trade. This alone was more than all the register­ ed cars in the United'States in any one year previous to 1910 and greater than the annual production‘s for any year until 1912. The March record al­ so is an indicaton of the return to good bnsiness conditions when com­ pared with a year ago and the apto- plants dark. . At the present rate the' automobile factories have a yearly production Of • 4,000,000 cars. At thisrate we will have more automobiles in the country than we now have bath tubs and tele­ phones.
