FORTY-SIXTH YEAR NO. 37, Buss Olivers HeldDown Owing to a number o f school bus tragedies in the stole last year, uchoo) bus drivers in Greene county, as well as in all counties o f the state, are re­ quired by law to atop before crossing railroad or interurban tracks anti look fo r approaching cars. The law governing operation ol school busses is a follows: Fee, 7781-2. The vehicle shall lx Of such construction as to afford the driver thereof a practically unob- structecl view o f the roadway ahead, and also to his right and le ft It shall be the duty of the driver in charge o f a vehicle engaged in the transportation o f children b >bring the vehicle to a full stop befoi e crossing the tracks of any railroad or ioterur- ban electric line and not proceed a- erp?s such tracks until absolutely Certain that no ■ car or train is ap­ proaching from either direction The failure o f such driver to bring his Vehicle to a stop before class­ ing the tracks o f a railroad or inter - urban electric line is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor and upon* con­ viction thereof such' driver shall be fined, not exceed $50 fo r the • first offense and for a second offense shall he fined not exceed Si 00 or impris­ onment in the county jail not to ex­ ceed 30 days or J>oth, , Mayors,' Justices o f Peace, Police Judges and Judges o f Municipal .

THE NEW 4TJT0 LAW Ohio has a new auto law'making the a£e limit fo r driving automobiles twenty-one years. On the face of it such'a law appears very drastic and it is very probable that it will not remain long on the statute books.. The Jaw will deprive many truck drivers o f their mode of earning a living and will work,many har<Ljhips.'JWe would not be at all sur­ prised to see it radically modified in the course o f the next year. * Blit, it is to see need fo r similar legislation. The weekly‘ death toll o f auto accidents has been rapidly mount ing. Collisions and grade jftossm^ nc- mon. A large percentage o f them’ are caused by the abuse o f the . sixteen year age limit. . Yellow Springs News, CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1923 PRICE, $1,50 A YEAR WATER LOWER IN CREEK ! THAN WAS EVER KNOWN NEW DEPUTY COUNTY TREASURER, LOUIS REINWALD WILL COAL STRIKE COME SATURDAY AS PROMISED? GOES EAST TO JUDGE CATTLE F. B. Turnbull goes East this week to judge cattle at the State Fair* at Lcwistown, Maine, and. at White Riyor Junction, Vermont. Mr. Turnbull has had 'a wide sale for his cattle in. the Fast and his selection fo r this post in this state is in recognition o f his success as a breeder and his ability to judge cattle .On his return he will judge cattle at the* Marion county fair. ■ Mr. Turnbull usually has his herd o f Angus cattle at the state fairs but this year his herd is out under the di- rection o f Paul. Gerldugh and Walter Ferguson representing the O. S. U. The water in the creek is lower at present than mpst of the older citizens can recall. It was necessary for the paper mill to close down last week to have water for fire protection The, mpany has installed an air compres­ sor to pnmp the big well and this water will add much to the required amount. Water is also being pumped from the Abel Magnesia quarry. The company sent men up the' creek open­ ing all the pools that the water might get to the lower channel for use at the mill*, The sanitary condition o f the creek is terrible at this time, The view from the Main street bridge gives one the dump. Civic pride is lacking in this one respect and Council should take pome action towards putting a ch*clt cn this nuisance,'Now would be a good time to have the channel cleared o f rubbish. The village is taking some chance; on permitting conditions about' the stream to remain as they are. The filih no doubt contaminates the Water and this will nq doubt make the fish sick if not poison them thereby giv­ ing our esteemed County Game War­ den, Karl Keller, an opportunity to either file charges against the paper mill or the village, K. K. is not tend­ ing to liis duties. Here would ho a chance, fo r another fee. ST. PARIS HAS POSTOPFICF ROBBERY LIKE ONE WE HAD Early last Thursday morning the postoihce at St. Paris was robbed o f $400 in money and stamps.

LARGE STOCK EXHIBIT The strike of the coal miners that is called for Saturday is yet uncertain judging from reports o f the confer­ ence that is now on with Gov. pinchot a s . moderator between the operator's and miners. What ever happens the public is going tp pay more fo r coal. On this point neither the operators or miners will object and there are many that honestly believe the whole Situation is one -Well understood by the eonfllicting interests- to force the price o f coal up. The operators are holding out a- gainst what is known as the “ check­ off” system^ where the mine company must deduct the dues -of the miners fo r t i f e * t h e Uffltans. Ifc otifer words the mine operators dp not care to be collectors o f union dues. The union leaders know that they can not collect dues and get any great amount o f money any other way. The unions collect in’ dues from- all coal miners the sum o f 17 million dol­ lars annually. .This great sum enables union leaders to defeat justice in many cases such as the terrible Heririn mine slaughter twp years ago. It is said the "unions spent $900,000 from this fund to defeat state' and national courts in sending to prison the leaders o f that mob. Unless the public takes more in­ terest in the coal situation, coal will continue to mount from year to year. Aggitation a t the right time with oovr production has forced down the price o f all kinds o f oils and gasoline.
