TOBCfY-SEVENTH YEAR MO, 2, CEDARVIUJ. iFRIDAY. DECEMBER 28, 1923 PRICE, 41.50A YEAR mg*. STOLEN Another big hoy theft has jijMst been reported to Madison county officers by Jesse Hop*’ S ee, well knows farmer reeltr­ ig on one o f the fdrxner Hous­ ton farms, fifteen miles south­ west o f this city soar the vil­ lage o f South Solon, Twenty- two head o f 200-pound Hamp­ shire hogs, ready for market, were stolen. The thieves ap­ parently" entered the farm, drove the hogs to the road and loaded them into trucks, the road being one that is little frequented and some distance from the Hoppes residence. „ Mr. Hoppes has been quite ill for some time and it is thought that the hog thieves were aware o f this fact. The loss was not discovered for two days,, the hogs being turned into a field of corn m the stalk. This is the climax of thefts o f hogs in this section and the farmers are up in arms over the continuous string o f losses. It is estimated that between 5Q0 and BOO head o f fat mar- ket hogs have been stolen in' Madison, Union, Fayette apd Greene counties in the past two months. Officials have been unable to find any trace o f the hogs except in one in­ stance, when-a Fayette County man was said to have identified his hogs in a Columbus market pen. He failed, however, to .prove his ownership and the hogs were shipped out o f that city. Several local and county protective, associations are be­ ing formed in a Quiet manner and Quick action is expected in future weeks. INCOME TAX IN NUTSHELL WATCH YOUR HEALTH IN MONTH OF MARCH More persons die in March than in any other month o f the year, according to a recent sur­ vey o f deaths among policy holders o f the Providaut Mutu­ al Life Insurance company o f Philadelphia, in 1920, 1921 and 1922, April ranks second on the list, and February third. More deaths occurred In these three months tlmn in the four months, July, August, June and May combined. They rank from the bottom of the 4 st ip the endec &a*tt#d. Summer, with 21 per cent o f the average total Shaaths for the last three years, has fewer deaths than any other season. Winter is first with 29 per cent and Spring and fall nearly even with 25 and 24 per cent respectively. A combination o f causes makes, March the. death month' o f the year. It is the high tide for influenza, pneumonia and organic diseases o f the heart. For the entire yearn heart diseases take the. heaviest toll, which amounts to about one- sixth o f the total number. Pneumonia, is second and can­ cer third. „ The survey brings many in­ teresting , facts . to light. It shows that suicides are most numerous in January and April, and fewest in the sum­ mer months. Ten .times as many policy-holders killed themselves as were killed by others, _ The death toll of automobile a c c i d e n t s and typhoid fever was heaviest in August; caUeer in September, tuberculosis in JUne and 1 Brights disease in January. -POST-CHRIST .CARTOONETTES t r 4 C dh ^ heaihv .

Murdock received a very handsome gift Christmas from “ The Force1' about the garage. It was a genuine leather traveling bag of generous size. Whether “ The Force" knows or not, the gift may come in handy some o f these days in the near future on a trip that may lead past the Ford plant in Columbus. -------------------- -------------------- M2L i»l!*3g COLUMBUS HOES NOT . LIKE THE IDEA Columbus people are trying, to interest people of- the state in a movement to' urge the selection o f a former site o f the city hall for the new state building that j# fo be erected, The last legislature a selection o f a sitethat does1not meet the approval o f the Colum­ bus folks. The city wants to sell the site for something like $350,- 000 and the price is not regarded high. The State authorities have decided to erect the building on the -Third street side o f the state house grounds, thus saving quite a sum . to the state. Ohio has so many state boards, com­ missions andt office holders, it canno thouse them in the present capitol. The state owns a ten Story building on Broad street and this is crowded besides sev­ eral floors in the Hartman build­ ing are rented for state officials. And people’ wonder at the cost of government both state and fed era!. Secretary^ Mellon has the -right solution in cutting the cost o f government. Reduce the staxes and then the government will not have the funds to pay salaries o f useless employees or for positions than can be abolished. As'lortg as the money is paid in the politi­ cians will find a way to spend it LEGIONPOST NAYSSANTA The Wallace C Anderson Post o f the American' Legion made the hearts of 250 or ’ more young folks glad-, as well as a number o f poor famil es Christ- Tftcisv | The Post sponsored the Com-' ffil nwinity tree that was located on I r the .

The Legion is to be commend­ ed for undertaking this work. The public was liberal in lending aid in a financial way. There was splendid co-operation on the part of the business m'en. About $175 was contributed and'a balance o f about $50 has been deposited for use next year for the same pur­ pose,' ■ . - - The. Legion extends thanks to the businessmen, paper mill em­ ployees, lodges and clubs for the part each took in making this event a great success.- The Fort­ nightly Club sold poppies ’ and realized about $35, Labor may rule the British Empire.

The bigger the fortune, the bigger the piece taken. Small fortunes would lose 1 per cent of principal, big fortunes 50 per cent. Two or three men in America would lose in one lump hundreds of millions if we had that here. The capital tax will be taken gradually, to avoid destroying values by forced sales. That is something for our big men to think about, prayerfully, - i l l - lyhether the experiment would work well no man can say. The namadic Tartars, driving cattle with them, cut pieces off the living animals as they went along. That was a capital tax on the animal, but not good for cattle in the long run, • - ! ! ! * - I f Labor came to power it would avoid many things that it now plans and tolerate many things that it now hates. To run a nation, and keep the complicated machine going, is not easy. It is especially dangerous to interfere pre­ maturely w i t h selfishness, which stimulates energy and accomplishment, — !l! — The Republicans are plan­ ning convention decorations for the great public hall in Cleveland, American flags, with pictures o f Washington, Lincoln and Harding, are sug­ gested. Things happen sud denly. How little President Harding imagined a little while ago that he would be only a decoration fo r the 1924 convention. ■ ; - 111 - President Coolidge has re­ leased, with unconditional par­ dons, all the remaining thirty political war prisoners, That's common sense, although it will annoy certain "national se­ curity" gentlemen who have found patriotism a great help in graft and profiteering, The men released, by the President some o f them, fools; ally; others were men of char­ acter and courage. Not one had actually- . done anything. In every case the "crime" was verbal. All other nations have released such prisoners. ’ -’-lit— The President o f Germany haehis salary'cut to $7r500~a year. Ambassadors get $1,750. Guards employed by-the gov­ ernment railroads get $150 a year, "woe to the vanquished," especially financial woe. _ - - l l l - England has given up tem­ porarily the scheme to fortify Singapore. That’s the first re­ sult ,probably of the Labor victory in the last election. Recent .study o f cancer 'Sfcfiws in the. body to be a. separate existence, stimulated by its own excretions, and growing with the furious energy of embryonic life. . ■ - ill - Cutting out or destroying X-ray or radium is the only cure now. But a way may be' found to check growth and bring about cancer destruction by scientific control o f growth- stimulating substances. Can­ cer is to some extent an em- >ryo in the wrong place, a body within the body. CAPT L, H, WHITEMAN HIT BY AUTO; DIES Capt. L. II.

COMING—-“THE FOOL" t Channing Pollock's most ambi­ tious play, certainly his mostam- convential, is “ The Fool”, coming to the Fairbanks Theatre, Spring field; Friday and Saturday night and special matinee Saturday It is a dramatic picture of the intense strife of modern every­ day life between capital and labor ignorance and shrewdness, be­ tween those trying t orise and the others scheming to keep them down. Over all there arises the truljr apostolic figure of the hero, helping the downtrodden while sublimely indiffereht to th eslurs and snubs of people he had known when he was assistant rector ofa fashionable New York church. Thrust from the pulpit because of his liberal views and his contempt for mere lip-service in religion, he casts his Jot with manual workers nor does he lose fait heveh when they turn against him after he has helped them win a strike. At this crisis in the in­ tensely modern drama* the stal­ wart idncalist appears as a won­ der man. As the crowd rages a- round him a crippled girl casts her crutches aside and walks as in a trance to his side. Instantly the sneers and threats against him cease. The young woman to whom he has been engaged jilts him for a society snob his old friends refer to him as a fool and a failure; but in his service for those in need he finds himself rich and happy, and the possibil­ ity of content so purchased is his message as the final curtain falls. Mail orders accepted now with remittance. , Miss Margaret Ralls, of Xenia, who has been teaching in the Fifth Grade, has resigned to ac­ cept a place in the Xenia schools. The local board has elected Mr*!
