JANUARY 18, 1924 PRICE, $1,50 A YEAR PAPERMILLENGINE BLEWOUTFRIDAY Tire big 300 horse power engine at the paper mill blew out, about 3:30 last Friday morning, the second time in about nineteen months. While there was property damage and loss to at bout $5,000 there was no loss of life. The heavy r'ain the previous twenty- four hours raised the creek and brot down much muddy water, which is held to have been the direct cause of the cylinder head letting go. Earlier in the night the water was causing a bit of trouble but employees did not regard it serious. Engineer Everhart had just left the engine room, to in- , spect a condenser in the 'boiler room when the explosion took place. In an instant the.mill was dark as the engine took care of the light plant along with th a t of the beater room. The flood of steam under great pressure forced the doors of the en­ gine room closed and employees were .unable, to enter the room. The hot steam started the fire, sprinklers and in a few seconds the room was delug­ ed with water. The engine experienced the same trouble about nineteen months ago bu t it was repaired and had been giv­ ing good service. The engine has been' in almost constant us^ since it was in­ stalled in 1893. The company carried boiler and engine insurance which will cover the "loss, outside of the plant' being'idle fo r probably a month. W. W. Galloway, general manager, informs us that a representative of the insurance company has inspected the loss and places the blame on mud­ dy water. The company hopes at some future date to operate the plant with elec­ tricity a t a future date. This .prob­ lem will have to be worked out later as the insurance company will not consider, any proposition a t th is’time bu t replacement of the present en­ gine in as good condition as i t was be­ fore the accident. While the mill is down most of the employees ate given work making im­ provements apd repairs about the plant. * hi....- n J .......... ..

Another learned man says the Book of John was written two or three hundred years after the death of Christ, and, if that bo true, Jpbn might have missed something. If now.some other wise person would cut out of the New Testament “The Sermon on the Mount” and “suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not,” the job would he perfect. The sjory about the woman forgiv­ en, in the eighth chapter of John, is especially interesting, because in all the Bible it contains the only refer- erence to any writing done by Christ: “Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote oft the ground.” And that answers in an interesting way other wise men, including Renan, who say th a t Christ, a simple peasant of Gal­ ilee, never could read or write. / . ' _ j|| - It pays to save little things. And some very rich men are rich because they know it. But suggest saving to a young man who hasn’t anything—he smiles compassionately and passes on. Henry Ford doesn’t do that. His plant in Detroit saves waste paper, string, Used-up heads .of mops, broken pails, nuts, holts, etc. At the end of a year the saving equals a ’million dol­ lars a month. -_ l!l— t I t is planned to send the dirigible Shenandoah to the North Pole; an interesting idea, hut some engineers and others declare the Shenandoah unfit for Such a journey. If there is any doubt about it, there should be no such North Pole trip, and men of high authority should take no needless risk with others, especially as they them­ selves would not be included in the crew. —HI-—,. Men were sent to their death in badly made flying machines during the war, But that was war.

" As the result of no appraise­ ment having been made since the year 1910, there has accumulat­ ed upon the tax duplicate of the county a vast number of unjust inequalities which camiot be prop erly adjusted without a general re-appraisement. Yours respectively,. R. O. Wead, Auditor of Greene County, O. From this recommendation it is clear that We are to have a re­ valuation unless property owners and farmers go to Xenia, Feb. 4 and register a protest. The com­ missioners have given you this ;hance,and it is now up to every property owner. The larger the number of property owners a t this meeting the easier it will be for the commissioners to get a hue on public sentiment. Property owners should ever keep in mind tha t rc-valuations are made downtvard only in ex­ ceptional cases. Nine times out of ten the revaluation is upward. Unless we have a revaluation upward, there is no need of such an expense being forced on the county as a reappraisement will cost. The lowest estimate is about $10,000 and it may teach $15,000. Clark cotutty revalued two years ago and the reported cost is placed between $40,000 and $50, 000.
