DECIDE NOT TORE VALUE THISYEAR NO NEED FOR QUARANTINE OR FUMIGATION WITH SCARLET FEVER— GRUBE The Board o f County Commission" ers hold a hearing Wednesday pn the question of reapprasial of Teal estate in the county. This question comes uj each year under the law. There hat been no re-appraisal since 1910- A t the hearing Wednesday, whic' had small attendance, those lookir for re-appraisal came from the west ern part o f the county, Osborn and Fairfield esch want a new valuation The Farm Bureau had endorsed the re-appraisal. The commissioners after giving the question consideration decided to put off reappraisal another year in as much as various tax changes are now before the Ohio legislature and tax increase in school districts was bound to come under laws proposed.. The legislature also has a bill before it to compel every.county in the state ■to revalue next year and every six years thereafter. PRESIDENT. MJCHESNEY ADDRESSES KlWANIS V Dr. W, R.

Today, Friday at noon Dr. McChes- ney will give the same address before the “ Noon-tide” club, at the Masoni Temple, Dayton. This is the largest luncheon club in this part o f the state, Charles Rasor, formerly of this place is secretary of the dub.

Holly, ten miles south o f Xenia, morning, John Rye, wealthy retired farmer, was found by his son-in-law Elton Evans, near Centerville. As Eyans opened the barn door that morning he saw Rye coming down the ladder from the hay mow, The man’s wrists had been slashed. Rye’s mental condition at that time was normal but it is supposed he cut his wrists while temporarily deranged The search for Rye continued all o f 'Saturday night and Sunday and ‘A blood stained knife was found along the Miami river. Searchers thought he"ihad committed suicide by drowning -and the river was dragged. Rye has made no statement as to his wounds or his disappearance. A t a recent meeting o f the Greene County Medical Society County Health Officer, Dr, R. R . Grube read a paper on contagious diseases and set up the argument that it was not necessary to fum­ igate after scarlet fever, nor was it necessary to quarantine. It is reported that some o f the mem* bers took issue with the Dr. Cedarvtyle has been, having in epidemic o f scarlet fever for sev­ eral weeks. Ea<?h week new cas­ es are added. No quarantine has been enforced and schools are op­ erating as usual. It would be use­ less to close the schools without quarantine and enforcement of the order, which cannot' bo done. Clifton had a sorry experience in.the way small pox cases spread and the manner in which the County Health officer handled the cases; Xenia is now wrestling with 13 cases o f small pox. No county official can be held accountable fo r the outbreak o f ,an epidemic but with quarantine and strict enforcement it can be held in check. * We do not %understand the theory advocated by Dr. Grube as to elimination o f fumigation and quarantine in what is claim­ ed to be contagious diseases, par­ ticularly, scarlet fever. The reason the quarantine law cannot be enforced is because the principle o f the county health law is wrong. It is in the hands o f men that are scattered over the the county. Under the old law, which was operated probably 50 per cent cheaper than the new law can possibly be,~ authority was centered in the local commun­ ity. Public sentiment in that com­ munity saw that no evasion was possible. Under the new law pub­ lic sentiment amounts to nothing. The Herald has previously giv­ en expression on the present health law and itsoperation in the county. The county health board is elected by the mayors arid president of the township trus­ tee moards in the county. Few o f these officials ever attend. As a rule in the past the meet-, frig has been, previously arrang­ ed ’and the “ slate” . goes! over^ care fo r the “ lame duck” list in the medical profession? And the law is doing all that can be ex­ pected o f it, providing a salary for a physician as county health officer. There have been more epidem­ ics in Greene county under the present law than were ever known before in the same num­ ber o f years; UPPER COURT REVERSES COMMON PLEAS The Circuit CoUrt has handed down a decision in ihe case of Clara Nickell admr, o f Volney Nickell, vs. Lincoln Funderburg,' where by the Common Pleas Court is reversed. A judgment f o r $5,000 had been granted fo r the death o f young Nickell, who was shot by .a sheriff’s posse several months ago. The upper court held that Judge Gowdy in his charge held that the jury was instructed to find damages and left nothing fo r that body to do but fix the amount. Suit had been brought for $25,000 damages. DOGS BEING POISONED The dog poisoner is getting in his work the past week from reports at hand. This crusade against the dogs Seems to be an annual affair but one not even known in the darkest days o f the civilized world. . 1 xth. Wn T. Wiley, 72, o f San Irandsco, had her neck broken in rut *ntd smash six weeks ago, as ssvttely a# i f by a hangmans t S a nh* h«* recovered, to the omaasmeht o f the medical world. DEEDS TURNED OVER FOR DISTRICT HOSPITAL PROPERTY. Deeds fo r the old District Tuber­ culosis Hospital were transferred to Clark county Monday afternoon, at a meeting > of the county auditors o f Greene, Champaign, Madison and Clark counties. With the transfer of the deeds, the money in the treasury o f the hospital was also turned over to Clark county. The institution will now be under the control o f Clark county commission-* ers, to act as trustees. The amount paid Greene county through Auditor R. O. Wead was $7965.71, Madison, $7283.08 and* Cham paign, $7963.18. Clark county recent, ly voted bonds to purchase the inter- est o f the other counties and also to erect a new building. The idea o f a joint hospital was not satisfactory to any o f the counties. B. B.GAMES HOLD CENTER . OF AT RACTION The Cedarville Hi Girls defeated Xenia Central Hi, at Xenia last Fri­ day night by a score o f 9 to 7. Central led Cedarville practically all the way until the last few min­ utes o f play when Smith, Cedarville forward, tossed the goal that won the game for her team. Smith was high scorer o f the game making a total o f 5 points while J. Auld was nexi with a total o f 4 points for Cedarville. Ireland was high point getter for Xenia with two fielders for a total of. 4 points; . . * • b Results o f last Friday’s games in the Greene County Basket Ball League wrought a small ^change in the standing. Cedarville boys did not ffiay while Beaver won from Bath, placing them second, while Cedarville dropped to third place with a per cent, of .833. . • «• . « Ross' victory over Spring Valley gave them a stronger hold on first place, Ross has not yet played away from home and it is yet to ;be seen how they will act on a larger floor. Tonight’s game with Yellow' Springs may prove to be a surprise to the fol­ lowers o f Rouses’ team as' the Y . S ; hoys are playing good ball this year. Cedarville plays Jamestown at the Alford Gym. in a non-league game this evening and the dope has it that Cedarville is the strongest o f the two. JJellbrook journeys to Spring Valley and engages them on their court; both teams are evenly matched ancj the outcome is in doubt. Beaver should have no trouble in beating Caesercreek if they do they will have first place clinched.. -Aventura was his 10-yenr-old without proper HOUSE VOTES FOR TWO CENT TAX ON GASOLINE The House o f Representatives on Tuesday voted fo r the Brown two-cent gasoline tax bill fo r highway main- termnee' in the state. The vote Was 97 to 29. The bill had the support o f the Ohio Farm Bureau and the Grange and if it becomes a law will provide several millions fo r road repair. The tax is to be collected by the whole­ salers. Representative R» D, William­ son has been an advocate o f the gas tax and was a member o f the highway committee having the bill in charge. The theory o f those who use the roads should help maintain them is not to be found in Ohio alone but thirty-six states have some form Of gas tax for road upkeep, The first bill o f this kind was passed by Oregon in 1919, It s expected that the city delegations In the Senate will endeavor to kill the measure, or never report it out. o f the committee.

Gov. Donahey had recommended re­ version to the old bipartisan board plan and AVelfare Director John F. Harper and institution.managers had indorsed it.
