Ip my previous letter I told you of the fog and tho abandoning* of the circle formation in which it had been intended to maneuver the shins soon after they passed through.the Golden Gate ’at San Francisco in their course westward. Thursday came bright and clear, out with a heavy sea, which wo were, told is common in this locality. Dur­ ing ..the middle. o f't h e . forenoon the orders came from the Flagship Cali- ornia to execute, the circle formation , which had been intended the day be­ fore when the fog interrupted. It was a beautiful sight to watch the- many bjg ships jiass in several directions to take up their stations, and we guests as well as the officers and'mpn enjoyed the moving picture immensely. Constructively speaking? we are at war, and the fleet now proceeding from San Francisco to the Hawaiiah ? islands is Called the ‘ ‘Blue” while the defease of the island., both army and navy, is called the ’“Black,” Early in the afternoon a.conference •o f the senior officers was held, to whiohthe newspaper men were cour­ teously invited- as guests, to discuss the war plans- and their execution. Great stress was laid on the impor­ tance o f secrecy, afid even though it Will all be over before this letter ever reaches the press, I am-not going to discuss what was said in this con­ ference. -The Bridge Friday, morning came and, by invita­ tion o f Captain f&nn the guest3 were invited to the bridge of the ship, from where the ship is directed on Its course. The bridge is a station well up on one o f the towers, and -from there we had a most msgnificient view c f the maneuvering o f the various ships in the distance on all sides of ■us... '■■■/ ' ■ ■ , Qn the bridge we found upwards of a dozen officers and men, each with' his duty to perform. V/e found to our surprise and dismay that with the in­ troduction of electric power and the use o f varied instruments which we would hot attempt to descrihe, the “ wheel” so well fixed in our minds for steering the ship, is a thing of the past, and the steering itself is all done With an ordinary looking handle exactly resembling the handle a mo- torinan uses in running a street car. While we were on .the bridge gangs o f meh were busy all over the ship scrubbing the deck. First they rubbed and scraped it with sand and blocks of wood, then with big brooms and at last the hose was used to wash,'it clean. In addition mess tables and , benches were brought out on deck and likewise given a scrubbing. This house cleaning went cn over the entire ship, both inside and out, being a regular Friday duty preparatory for inspec­ tion followed by a holiday on Satur­ day. Bowels of the Ship In the afternoon the writer took tho opportunity to visit the bowels of the ship, the engine room, power plaritj, machine shop, carpenter shop and other departments which ^con­ stitute the inner workings o f tins huge institi '.ion. We did not wait to be personally conducted by one of tho officers, but accepted the invitation o f the “ gobs” , as the ordinary man in tho navy calls himself, to “look her over,” and we were handed -around by tho men on tho job from, one department to an other, climbing up and down narrow, steep stairways ducking through low narrow passageways and doors until the afternoon had been spent in a most interesting aild instructive man­ ner.

Music and gamds fur­ nished the deversion fo r the evening. Letters were read from various mem­ bers' of the class who were unable to attend. Those present were: Dorothy Andrews, Anna Gerhardi, Ruth ,St. John, Helen Iliffe,. Pauline Setz, Ruth Burns, Lois Estle, Mrs.' Walter Anson, (nee Ruth McMillan), Lois McFar­ land, Ruth Collins, Eleanor Johnson, Mary Webster, Ryman DonOhoe, James McMillan, Williapi Nagley, Harvey, Auld, Donald Kyle, Roger Stormont, Kenneth ^Little and Mac Harris, MEMORIAL d ay sermon Rev, W.

The speaker for the day will be announced later, 1 “ There will be an important meet­ ing of the Legion at Community Hall on Thursday evening, May 28, when all members aro urged to be present. The citizens are urged to remember the Legion with flowers that there will be sufficient for the decoration of all soldier graves, PICTURES OF SILVER BAY Rev. Mr. Lytle of Xqnia, will show pictures o f Silver Bay, Ne / York and ether interesting scenes connected with former conventions o f the Y, P. C.

These pictures will he o f interest to older people as well, and a cordial invita­ tion is extended to all to 'attend. preached his victim, Johnson said: “You’ve got me brother.” Charles and Wilbur Cooley, Clyde McCallister, and A. M, Peterson were notified and all responded at once. Johnson Was kept, under guard until Sheriff Morris Sharp could be secured Johnson was non communicative all the time and has had little to say. At present he is at the County Home due to his wounds. He is in a critical con­ dition though is expected to recover, Drs', Paul Espy and A, D, DeHaven removed thirtyoight shot and gun wadding from the wound. Just as soon as the prisoner recovers he will be arraigned in Justice o f Peace Court on a charge o f burglary and larceny. While no one wag found with him that night William Zimmerman,' Xenia has been placed under arrest and is being held at the county jail as being implicated. • Johnson drove a old Ford car which was left on the road near the house. The chr was taken over by the author­ ities. - Saturday morning early Mr. Wil­ liamson made a trip up the road and found two sacks o f dead chickens. In the lot were many that evidently been marked by the owners but no one has reported any loss. The chickons had. been bled. About nine o’clock Friday night Charles Cooley and son, Wilbur, dis­ covered someone about their bam but were unable to get close enough to identify the fellow, During the past few months more than 300 chickons have ' been stolen from farmers on the Kyle road near the Williamson home. It had come to the point that the farmers did not feel safe away at night and they were compelled to remain at home to pro­ tect their property. The manner in which Mr. William­ son landed Johnson will have more effect.than all the prison., sentences that could be imposed on a*half dozen’ chicken thieves. Mr. Williamson has been heartily commended for landing Johnson and assured that he was per­ fectly justified in using the means he did, He will be rewarded by the Cedar ville Protective Association. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS A “Mother and Daughter” banquet was held last Friday evening at the Reformed Presbyterian church when one o f the most pleasant and profit­ able events of the year was enjoyed. It was the first attempt of the kind and the large crowd enjoyed the program and excellent menu.

As high as 00ft of the acreage In some of these comities has been abandoned. Thru- ont the state earlier rains would have saved much of the crop which Blirlveled up and was blown away by the winds. The plants have put forth shoots but It is feared that It Is how so late that these shoots cannot make full heads. all fields have a very un­ even appearance so that one seldom sees this year the beuutiful rich green which only a perfect stand of rapidly growing wheat cun present. Some of the best Helds of oats ever seen in tbe State are found throughout As a result of a Supreme Court decision Tuesday the wonderful ini­ tiative and referendum law supposed to be in force in Ohio, received a bad jolt when the Court held that the gasoline tax law yvas not subject to a referendum vote. This means, that the law will stand on that score. The Court also held that no part of the gasoline.tex could he used for new road construction, which was the real object o f the law, that the burden was to he lifted from tax payers. The Court did not pass on the con­ stitutionality o f the law as another suit is pending covering that feature of the law. PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR YEAR TODAY most sections. In a few counties In Western Ohio there lias been complaint from lack of sufficient moisturq, but on the whole it Is provable that Ohio never hud a better outlook for oats.

Harriman Will re­ turn Saturday to fill his pulpit on Sabbath. ■ Baseball has its followers, big news of the day usually attracts attention and brings opt discussion. Xenia is not interested in anything now but the grandstand crusade against a few gamblers and the stopping o f “ rum” games about the pool rooms and cigar stores. , Tho sore spot seems to be more over the manner in vftiich the law has been invoked than anything el. e. General sentiment seems to be unanimous that the whole affair is backed by the Klu Klux^Kian and scores of men that admjt as being members of the organization at one time are doing the most complaining. The anti Klan element protests over the arrests of only anti Klan pro­ prietors while Klan business houses were conducting the same kind of games. Demands have been nffade for the- enforcement of Sunday “blue laws” and close up everything, but Pros-, ecutor J. C, Marshall does not move. Those interested say he must await orders from Klan headquarter*. Attorney Frank L, Johnson says . he represents clients who insist on a strict enforcement of the Sunday “ blue laws” . The Prosecutor has re­ fused to reply to his letters. The next move is said to be the filing o f affidavits against those that keep open on Sunday and these can he in a Justice Court or any Mayor’s court in the county. Prosecutor Marshall has, refused to go ahead with the fifty or more cases announced at the beginhjng o f the raids. Various reasons are given as to why the intimations are afloat. That when he proceeds with these cases charges will be filed against, one ' citizen in Xenia that may prove em- barrasihg to the. Prosecutor. Inside work on attempting to clear Cliff Lattimer on a murder charge, “What. , is the status of the Vandervoort ' case?” a young farmer who is now in the pen and was charged with shooting a Xenia policeman. I f tbe eonteat continues much longer soma one is going ,to tell something' rich about conditions around the county seat and how some have profited. To make matters worse the min­ isters in Xenia have asked that)’ a new swimming pool be not opened or operated on the Sabbath, What action the Prosecutor will take is but a matter of conjecture. The Xenia Country Club gets its share of the fight owing to the large crowd that plays golf each Sabbath from ‘ early morning until sundown. The golfers maintain there can be (t nothing done to reach them-- .The plea is that the golf grounds are for pri­ vate use. The “ Blue law” followers point out that tho state law ia very plain about anyone employing a mi­ nor on the Sabbath and that anyone so doing shall be guilty of contribut­ ing to the delinquency of a minor. A golf game without ’ A caddy “ boy” would be as interesting to the golf enthusiast as a game of dominos - would be to a “ rum” player. It can be seen that Xenia has but one subject for discussion either in the homes or about the town loafing places, 1 The game of “ bridge” for prizes that is a fad among the Xenia society folk ia hit by the Crusade only it con­ tinues just the samo. The prizes are -‘bootlegged” home. Only a few days ago at a social function where prizes of some value were offered, the host­ ess asked a Xehia paper not to pub­ lish the list of prizes or the names of tho winners.
