CEDARVILLE, OrtlO , FR IDAY , AUGUST 29. 1924 P R IC E /$1.50 A YEAR SOMEBODYHAS WATERON BOTHSHOULDERS The Democratic Central Com­ mittee organized .Saturday with Fred Shellabarger o f Bath town­ ship as chairman and Emery Og- tesbee of Xenia township as sec­ retary. J. E. Mitchell of this place was formerly chairman, ^In view of the fact that the Klan ejected a majority of its nominees on this committee there was some speculation as to organ­ ization.. The antis admit that the Klan has control of the committee and no effort was made to inter­ fere. . The executive committee is composed o f . thirteen persons, which would indicate that the “ unlucky 13” was not to be fear­ ed- Rev. A. J, Furstenberger, the Democratic nominee ■for state representative knd secretary of the' Greene County Klan, is to be the new chairman we are inform­ ed The other members of the com­ mittee are Mrs Bliss Smith, James Jones, Mrh. Leon Reed, Charles Bales, John B. Murray, Mrs, Cinda Ayer, D. L. Gerard, Mrs. Nora Sollerrs, Fred Shellabarger, Ediyard Wood,, Emery Oglesbee, and Henry J. Farrell. The rfeal mystery is how the Klan leaders ever permitted the name of Mr. Farrell to he on the* list unless it was for his experience, as he is a ' strong Anti-Klansman. The comm ittee adop ted a reso ­ lution endorsing the national, the State and especia lly the local Democratic ticket. * 0 m The Klan in the county is sit­ ting on the top o f the world polit , ically just at present. Having tak­ en control of , the Democratic party organization in the county and claiming seventeen of the 24 members o f the Republican com- ' mittee there .should be nothing escape the demands o f that organ* ization. The Klan has it's eye;on this seats oF the Board o f Election -now held by Democrats,,From the ;..TBtC ..ai-•«*. A 'htStf.4- .j.-Ai ce ana, wtii oe satisfied with nothing else, .Cer­ tain obligations on the' part of. “ Boss” -Marshall are expected to aid the ' Klan get the coveted place. A t the recent organization o f the Republican Central Com­ mittee only Marshall Klansmefi took part in the organization, ,*]• * * '-I t .is really interesting to hear how some of Boss Marshall's friends explain his association as to the Klan. In some quarters an intensive campaign is being put ort carefully in a clever manner, among certain people who are as opposed to the Klan as those the Klan apposes from a religious viewpoint The present situation is evidently embarrasing to the “ Senator” but it is a child o f his own creation, and he alone is re­ sponsible for it and .must stand up for it. A local citizen came to Its a few days ago with a Stoiy that had been given by one of the Marshall followers to ease a sore spot due to the Klan, Somebody has water on both shoulders as we view it today. The story this, man tells us would make interest­ ing reading for the Klan. An ef­ fort was made to head off the Klan politically and it could not be done only by Marshall making some effort to hold' the organiza turn. This man was also given to understand that even though the Republican Central conuttitte was o f the Klan faith, the Executive Committee was strongly anti- Klan, Every body that lives six or egiht months longer is going to hear something explode in Greene ' county politics, sse* Demands Redress It may be bard for the average voter to tell how his party will stand on political issues this fall in the,county, It may be a case of the Democratic committee sup­ porting the Republican ticket or the Republican committee the Democratic ticket. The Democrat ic nominee for president, John W, Davis, denounces the Klan, Bob LaFollett has done, the same. On the Republican side -the Vice Presidential nominee, Charles G. Dawes hits the hooded order. The next we hear the Klan Democrat­ ic State Convention endorses the Davis idea o f the Klan, And yet the local Democratic committee mostly Klaosmen endorses the Democratic ticket. The. Marshall Ivlansmen at their meeting made no endorsements, The committee is probably undicided yet as to how many of the Republican nom inees are to bq Opposed. HERBERT TINDALL DEAD Herbert Davis Tindall,' son of Robert and Abia Tindall, .died at the home o f his brother, Rebert Tindall, Wednesday morning af­ ter an illness of fen months, dur- which rime he has. been confined to his room and bed.

Dayton, Sept. 1st to ith, will find'that sewing is still iuprem eas the, greatest o f wo­ men's art. That old-fashioned “ crazy quilt” odly designed in a hundred different colors, has lost none o f its popularity. The prac­ tical sewing such as table linen,, handkerchiefs, towels; bedroom linen, nigs, aprons and womens ........... . -mfmsstrm pattment from stock exhibits* machinery and, automobiles to the speed ring will attract the thousands’ as heretofore., “THE COVERED WAGON” FARM INCOME INCREASE i GREATLY EXAGGERATED O. E, Bradfute, president of the American Farpi Bureau Fed­ eration, declared in an address in Demoines, Iowa, Monday, that the farm income was greatly ex­ aggerated. The bureau's research department, estimates that the farmers would profit by about a quarter o f a billion dollars. Pres. Bradufte said he believed little of the increased income would get into the channels of commerce this year but would be applied to debts incurred during the period o f agricultural depression and to back Jaxes. The increase would be chiefly felt in cotton, tobacco and wheat growing states. NEW BILL TO PROVIDE . FOR MUNICIPAL BAND It is proposed to offer a bill m the coming legislature where­ by communities may tax them-i selves to support. a municipal band. The bill will propose that not more than two mills be levied in all towns of not more, than 40- 000 population, when authorized- by a vqte of the people of the community. The proposed law is to be copied after the Iowa law* where more than IDO towns- have voted such a tax,.In Clarinda, Iowa, where the law was first tried out it cost the 5,000. inhab­ itants 35 ceptS-a year to pay the expense,6f an adult and a juven­ ile band. . r LAMAR TITUS DIED AT HOtyE MONDAY Lamar Titus, 3£, well known South Charleston auctioneer, died Mondy aflolowing an illness of many months.

He is~survived by a wife, Mrs. Maude Moon Titus, his pa­ rents, Mr. and Mrs. Harley -Titus, of Harmony; and three brothers, Howard of South Charleston; Morton Of Springfield and Mal­ colm o f New York City. DOWNGONAND CHICKEN THIEVES Alleged chicken and corn thiev­ es had a run for their money Sat­ urday and Sabbath nights when officers and several farmers kept the trail hot. For several .weeks chickens have been, missed ,by a lumber of farmers and certain movements Saturday night indi­ cated that operations were on and a watch was kept. Sabbath night Fred Dobbins heard the sqiiak <5/ chickens from a vehicle passing nis home, With Charles Graham, Fred Clcntans, and Howard Turnbull a trace Was found that the vehicle had turned into the tenant house of Fred Stretcher on the, Turnbull farm. * Sheriff Morris ..Sharp' .was cal­ led as was Constable Charles Tur ner. A search warrant was secur­ ed and the Stretcher place search­ ed for corn and chickens: A sack of com had been found on the road that had ’evidently ;been lost as it was the same kind of corn and the same kind; bf a sack as was found'at the-Sjtretcher home. Stretcher was placed under ar­ rest and an attempt was made to take Banner Morgan but he made a dash for liberty -out the rear door into a corn.field. He was ost in the darkness. Stretcher was kept in jail until James Cruzes’ colossal Para­ mount production, “ The Covered Wagon” which is conceded to be one of the greatest photoplays ever made, will be shown for the first time at popular prices next week, starting Sunday, Aug. 31, at the State theatre, Dayton. Perfect realism, a. strong love theme, tremendous dramatic ac­ tion, thrills that are uterly unlike the ordinary sort; a. back grdund of real newness to the screen, where the camera lias never be­ fore been ground ; all these facts, coupled with the splendid, cast o f virtually 3,000 men and women, certainly indicate a picture that is worthy o f any director's en­ thusiasm. The story with the vast sweep.of the western plains for background, across which the “covered wagons’* with their hu­ man freight, is essentiall ygood picture material, OFFICER TAKES UP~ O. S. & S.

ISSURELYA GREAT EXPOSITION “ The Sun Always Shines. in Ohio” , if you do not think so it is because you did not- attend the J.)liio State Fair this week. Ohio has for some time held the reputation of having1one of the best, if not the best state fair in the country. The grounds are' not only beautiful but comodious. The accomodations for exhibitors are first class and this attracts not only the best in the state but from other states. As for'live stock nothing bet­ ter js found at the great Interna­ tional Show at Chicago. This, year the new-cattle barn, the last word in such architecture, has been put in use for the first time. The former cattle barn has been converted into a hog barn v ith, show pavillion in the center for show purposes. In the various halls and about the grounds could be found the newest and the latest' in inven­ tions known for use on the farm; Thousands of dollars are spent by the state in many ways that bring little or no return but we’ question whether one objection is ever raised over the expendi­ ture of money in enlarging and improving the.
