FORTY-SIXTH year NO, 43 , CEDARVILLE VBi GasPresssre IsReduced Shall we meet * situation that ia k#Ybnd our control and have gas or tlwll we proceed as we are at present and have little or no gas? Every p i* consumer In GedarviUe, is face to' face with the question of fcass at the company’s terns or no gas ot all. On June 26th J, W, Curry, Pitts­ burgh, representing the Ohio Fuel Gas Company, appeared before a few o f the members of counci and ashed o f ’ia change in the present contract that would permit a charge of $1, or 95c net, for the first thousand feet of gas. used by every consumer and the second thousand and o-ver.at the rate of 45c net as at present. The plan of the company in asking An ordinance was left for council < Only making p minimum rate of doe •instead of 50c as at present. An ordinance* was left for council to consider, Following publication of ' the preposition a storm of protest a- rose at once *Council has since let the ordinance lay on the table. This week representatives of the company came here and under orders . from headquarters set the regulator at three' ounces pyesstise. Tuesday , it was changed to two ounces. ■ Wednesday morning there was not a few cold houses about town and the morning" coffee was n it heated without a long wait. - As for'the Herald it was the first morning in the five years that we ■ have used a linotype that , the gas when turned on, full would riot he§t the metal. The same Was "true Wed­ nesday -morning. The Cedarville Bak­ ery had trouble heating the oven due to low gas pressure.. * Mr. Curry at the meeting here In .Tune stated that increasing edsts of operation had kept the company from earning more than 0 1-1 per cent the past year or so. ■ ' Hast February the company adopted a plan to equalize the cost o f service to consumers so that each wqUld pay his'share , When Mr, Curry was here he stated that 51 towns visited all had granted the increase. We have since been un­ reliably informed that rill the towns on the line have accepted the new rate except Cedarville and Xenia* ‘ fPhe -eonrpany is j w selling gas to the cities of Middletown and Hamil­ ton at 45c net at the meter without any cost of distribution. These cities then resell -it at 60 and- 70 cents per thousand net, The company has plenty o f gas on the main line probably . as much rife 135 pounds pressure. This gas is for , sale and like-any other commodiy will : go at the highest market price, which in this case will he the towns that pay the most. Cedrirville has bebn. very fortunate arid always enjoyed a good service at the hands, of the gas company. From all- indications j t is pay the price or d o ' without gas this winter. , With a two or three ounce gas pressure we would not be able to light a lamp with the weather near zero. The usual pressure for this place in cold Weather is five ounces or more.. The price of gas is always going to " he regulated in a manner by the sel­ ling price of coal. The Ohio State "University through experiments have proved that gas it 50 cents a thous­ and feet is equal to coal at $6.50 per ton. • Should gas not be available every consumer would havt> something on hand in gas stoves that Could not he Used. It would then call for coed stoves Chimneys would have * to he rebuilt to meet insurance requirements, the expense the consumer would^ be put too cannot be estimated at tins time, No one wants to pay more, for gas than neiessary. Neither do we for <oal, meat, clothing, shots, automo­ bile etc., yet if we have any or all of these things we must pay the price asked or leave them alone. ' The gas situation locally is critical. It is either pay the price or leave it alone,- The great city of Glcvela fought a gas company for a year and on « certain day the company stated it would turn off the gls. Ihe ease was taken into the U. S- courts the city lost and was soon reaoy make peace terms with the company and pay the price to get gas. The thing for Cedarville to do is to meet the company demands. The people wants 'gas, Those who do want it are not compelled to take it. CHANCE FOR B id GAME THIS S B A Y .

WAY ASK AID FOR BATH TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS At^a meeting o f the County Board of Education, J. B. Rife, suggested that Supt. Aultman communicate with Senator Foss in an effort to age what might be done towards Federal aid for the Bath township schools, An un­ usual situation exists in that township with the attendance increasing as the result of the population at Wright aviation field. It is now proposed to locate McCook field there also. The government will accept about 2,500 acres of land as a gift from. Dayton citizens to enlarge too field. When, this is done there will be a population of about 5000 or more at the field. The increase means additional teachers to care for toe increased enrollment in the schools The taking of 2,500 acres of farm land off the tax duplicate will reduce school revenue. To make up for this the government is to be asked to help provide revenue for toe school in that township. A new build­ ing. is being erected near Fairfield, , T OH, MR.

EASTMAN \ BAD ADVERTISING. \ Five years ago this month more than 400,600 United States soldiers began the drive on the Argonne. Sev­ e r i t y J wounded, in tlgntlng ’ thn along a forty-mile front. ’ - Soon after that toe war was"oyer. Five years ngo, and the soldiers, to whom excited ' and freightened big poeketbooks promised the moon and stars, haVe not yet received aperiny of the pitifullj small bonus that rep­ resents the dwindling down of all gratitude. ' , - f f i “ ■ . ' ■■ There’s a plan to simplify toe coal problem.. Railroads won’t like it—no more coal to carry. Middlemen v. ill de test it, The idea is change the' coal into electric current.at the mine. Electric­ ity carries itself over the wires, with no bumping of freight cars, no fiat wheels, no loading and unloading. In­ stead of buying coal, changing it into power and heat five hundred or a thousand miles from the mine, skilled labor at the mines would change coal into electricity to be used for heat, light and power wherever wanted. That will come in time. Thanks to Mr. Eastman, of Roches­ ter, and the wide, wide world, this conntoy sees efficient and thorough de­ velopment o f musical talent. To help a nation in music is totoelp it intellectually. Music and intellect are uisters. Music arouses the brain, refreshes and stimulates it, as nothing else can do. Music is toe only stimu­ lant that has no “next day” of let down and reaction. -—!!!— Mr. Eastman’s School of music in the University of Rochester brings to the city and to the students of music the best musicians Of the world, arid provides musical genius with a mag­ nificent setting «in a beautiful opera house, given to the city by Mr. East­ man and paying financial profit to no one. * Young people from all over the United States win scholarships that give them free teaching amL$!,060 a year for living expenses. Thus one man’s success finds ex­ pression in a way that benefits an. on- tiro nation, age stamps will be.worth less. The person putting on toe stamp won’t look at it, much Ipss read, the advertising. Advertising iq valuable only when puc where people want to | see it, when they have leisure to rnad it, The best {advertising is in newspa­ pers. Repetition is#reputation. \v«st End .
