Of Cf arse there are exceptions but we re­ fer in the main to the entire list in the state. Judges pick up and leave in many counties .with their dockets clogged and attorneys and clients can wait probably for months for'.a hearing or even a decision after the case has been heard. ,It was suggested at a recent .meetr ing of the Ohio State Bar Association tha t action correcting this abuse of power and waste of public funds be checked. Chief Justice C. T. Marshall of the Ohio Supreme Court has suggested a remedy to the legislative committee of the State Association of Common Pleas Judges and suggests ‘ that, it be made a law. He proposes that no ..Common Pleas Court Judge in Ohio can draw his salary until he has made ' and forwarded to Columbus a t thf end of each month an affidavit saying, that he has. no ‘motion, demurrer 1 or completed case which has remaine’ undicided by him for more than 30 days, otherwise the judge cannot draw liis salary, a t the end of that month. Such a proposal will naturally draw fire from the Common Pie’s Judges in the state but it will have the ap- ,of the«*att<jaaaoyj51.4nd. have from eyery -citizen. I t will mean that the-jiidges in these courts can be kept busy to earn their salary and have more, to do with lowering the cost of conducting courts. No doubt there are few people who have' any idea or have ever given the question a single thought how the Common Pleas Judges dodge work and, let it pile up and then ask for .some outside judge to come into the county to conduct court. , Common Pleas judges are paid big salaries, it being $6,000 per year in Greene county and the judge does not have half the duty or responsibility that falls on Probate Judges who get about half that amount. Chief Justice Marshall's suggestion if enacted into law would cure a great anoyance for attorneys who must in most cases wait weeks for decisions I t was only a few weeks ago that the Supreme Court reversed Judge Gowdy in the Oglesbee case after it had taken the Judge several months to report. The decision held up settle­ ment of an estate and was of concern to ^n um b e r of parties. While Greene county pays Judge Gowdy $6,000 a year salary he hag been spending much of his time in the Cleveland Comon Pleas Court. In ad­ dition to his salary drawn from this, county he gets $10 a day and all ex­ penses including hotel bills. Chief Justice Marshall has hit upon a popular cord with the taxpayers who are already ground down with burden during an economic depres­ sion. A few years ago a law was passed requiring all judges to report decis­ ions within 30 days but the Supreme Court held that this was interference With the courts. Justice Marshall has hit a t the pay end to circumvent that ONE OF THE BEST George Martinale is feeling .proud these days having just received a re­ port from Dr. Leo Anderson, who has completed the third annual tubercular test o f'66 head and found every ani­ mal sound and free from tuberculosis, The herd is state accredited. Since the herd has been put under the test there has never been a single reactor. When a new cow is purchased the animal is isolated under state rules and keep from other stock for sixty days and tested. b i The tuberculin test, both opthalmic and interdermal, should be compulsory where ever milk i s ’sold. It has been proven time and again that whole fam ilies have been taken down with this disease all due to milk. A farmer in the eastern part of the county some time back had reason to suspect the infection among his dairy cows that were kept for his own use. He had a test made and found two to be badly affected and disposed of the cows at once. Medical authorities are agreed that more tuberculosis is contracted from nfected. cows milk than inherited. The public is entitled to this protsc- ,ion and every farmer’s family sliould be secure by having the milk cows tested. DAIRY FARMS ARE MOST IMPROVED IN FERTILITY . Frank B.

GROW RE-INSTATEO BYCIVIL SERVICE t u n HIGH SCHOOL NOTES, Last Saturday night the boys won another county game. They are still leading the county league and are closer to the county championship. This Friday they play Beaver a t Bea­ ver,, the latter have a very fast team and beat a team four points that we only beat three. This insures a very fast and exciting game and the -win­ ner of this game will probably have much to do with the county champion­ ship. The girls still held on to their old jinx and lost another heart-break­ er last Saturday night but they will be’out for revenge Friday night and guess the Beaver girls will just HAVE to accept defeat if everything is true that is floating in the air up here a t old C. II. S. have produced as a by-product o f dairying; according to the Blue Valley Creamery institute. The figtpe is based on data Resulting from many carefully kept records on a considerable number of farms. The fertilizer value of manure per ton is $2.60 and the average per cow is 7.4 tons. The application of this figure to the 10,000 dairy cattle in this county brings the total added value to the soil fertility here to the almost unbelievable figure given a- bove. In keeping' with its better feeding program the Institute estimates thnt rom 25 to 50 per cen greater profit from each ton of feed can be made by ccal farmers who milk cows through the improved' methods, alone. Thi3 «vas demonstrated, it states, by the experiment recently concluded by the University of Minnesota, PASTOR ANNOUNCES HE WILL RESIGN AT FUTURE DATE At the conclusion of the service a t the United Presbyterian church last Sabbath, Dr, J . P. White announced that owing to his health he expects to offer his resignation, probably in April, when Presbytery meets. He had so informed the session last Wed­ nesday and according to their resolu­ tion read to the congregation' Sabbath Dr. White is left to set the date what ever time he deems best. Dr, White has been pastor for five and one half years and for a year or more has been afflicted with a nervous trouble ’ and he has deemed- it best to give up the work to care for his health. He has the sympathy not only of his congre­ gation but- of the entire community. four or five old -employees, that he might name successors. Supt, Garver refused to take such action-in as much as the employees had been faithful and no good reason could be given for their dismissal.. Garver won the em- nity of the! local boss. .In the trial of jthgltt spell they and led th- and senfen GET OUT THE SMOKED GLASS FOR ECLIPSE The eclipse of the sun that is to be visible In this section Saturday, tak­ ing into consideration weather condi­ tions, will be noticable from 6:51 to 9:10.

At that time Dr. M. I, Marsh stated that the chances of Kannedy recover­ ing were slight and as the days went by complications of pneumonia and infected hastened his death. -There was no time that recovery was con­ sidered .sure; For more than a week Kennedy hacl been under guard some feapng that , he might get away. He stated that he had no regret and cared little about living or concerned what court action might be taken even though he should recover; Even though he was almost a t death’s door the grand jury was cal­ led last Friday and an indictment of first degree murder was returned a- gainst him. His condition did not war­ rant service. Kannedy and his wife had been haying domestic trouble ; for some time and he charged unfaithfullness and named another Tuan here as the . source of the trouble. The wife denied the charge and. held that the husband was jealous. Three little girls survive. Margaret aged 9; Dorothy, 6; and Gladys, 3.
