It is seldom that horsemen show any predilection for politics, b u t’ “ Andy’’, an exception to the rule., took politics as naturally as a duck takes to wfiter, making politics more of a vacation than an avocation. From 1383 to 1892, he was a member o f the hense o f representatives from Greene county, and- upon expiration o f his tenure as such he was elected ser- gcant-at- arms -of the house, serving' as such fo r 12 years. Possessing some o f the traits which distinguished his illustrious forbear, “ Old Hickory”,- f e r ' whom he was named, “Andy"* enlisted in the Union arrhy, serving in'the 4th Ohio, and during an exchange o f “ courtesies” between the wearers* o f the Blue and the wearers-of the Grey at Perryville Ky., he received, before he was 19- -years Of age, awound in his shoulder.

We used to siort our hors­ es from,the mile post only and the distance to be raced would be one mile, but now they are starting them from the five-eighths, the three-quar­ ters and the one and one fourth mile posts and to me this takes away much o f the interest and the thrills we got from the old time way o f racing. It used to be that it would take three heats out of five to win and I have had horses that have been in as many ,as eight heats in a race. Now two heats out o f three is the rule.

Dr, Daniel- Brownlee resigned as pastor o f the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Dayton after nearly fifteen years o f sendee. His first charge was at Glifton where he was pastor fo r a- bout the same length o f time. The Dr. has been chosen secretary o f the Day- Ion Council o f Churches. He has had but two charges in his ministry o f SO years. The Presbytery met at the First In spite o f the, great rush necessary in Handing in complete test papers this is one of the Vergfflian results o f last Friday's torture. It was given in answer to the question, “ Pick out your favorite' passage and portra: it in beautiful language.” It seemed to he no trouble to the poetess at all. . “ Raising his head above the waves, Neptune catches no glimpse that he craves,, Waves in a turmoil, winds in a gale Here ships a sinking, ‘ there, ships without sail. “ My Mercy,” cried Neptune, his wrath rising high,- I'm afraid those vessels will never get buy, - I wonder if ’Olus hi# let loose that gale. .

Official AM claa- Work has started on the improve­ ment o f the Springfield ' pike from the tar hound macadam section to the county line within the corpora­ tion o f Clifton. The road will be im­ proved with tar bound’ gravel ac­ cording to reliable advice at hand, Wo understand that the contract for gravel has been let to a company in Greenville, 0 ,, and the material must be shipped and then hauled to the pike. This type o f road is built much cheaper for first coat but the upkeep is more than on the atone macadam type. The estimated cost o f upkeep is about $1,500 a mile anuatly. The stone macadam between Cedarriffe and Wilberforce has not had a coat o f tar fo r about two years and is now in excellent condition, One amusing feature o f the road situation in Clark- county is that ,thc county commissioners recently iveted to accept $500 from Congress man Brand’s extra salary to be used on the purchase of a portable wheel­ barrow crusher, We asked our in­ formant why the commisioners did not use stone fo r the Springfield pike and he replied that even though there were two large quarries in the county the stone was not suitable for road purposes. We then asked him why gravel was hauled from Darke county when Clark county had gravel. The answer was that crushed gravel was no good unless we had a gravel washing plant and such an outfit 'cost from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The way matters stand the Clark county commissioners have accepted Brand’s $500 offer to purchase a atone crusher and their add another thous­ and of the tax payers money. The stone is not fit fo r road purposes and the Brand, crusher can not be used to crush gravel fo r the reason it must be washed and $ 10,000 more o f the tax payer's money must be forth, com­ ing to get a grayel washing plant. We are affraid that the public will not get the slant to. the Brand prop­ osition from ’ an economical stand­ point. Or has the Congresman. am in­ terest in a concern manufacturing or selling atone crushers? | Made M onitor’s Plate | MASTER FILES REPORT ON GREENE COUNTY CASE PUBLIC APPROVES NO REVALUATION THISYEAR The action o f the State Tax com­ mission in working with the county auditors to hold up re-appraisement o f real estate in 69 -counties in Ohio 'fo r a year was wisdom even though ’ | nearly all the counties were without funds fo r such a revaluation, The State Tax Commission has the power to hold over the revaluation even though the law technically may require it. This is but a sample o f the hind o f laws we have now adays. They usually say what they do not mean. George Washington P.

The event has been styled “ Civic Booster Week” and the citizens of Cedarville and surrounding territory are being extended cordial invitation through the columns o f The Herald to join' with the citizens o f Springfield, in getting as much enjoyment out o f the variety of affairs planned'.as it is possible to 'derive. A fund of 5,$000 has been raised, by popular subscription and word from the headquarters, o f the general com­ mittee in the charge o f the celebration is to the effect that every penny trill be expended. A complete program o f events will be found in this issue o f the Herald. In our opinion the best reason in the world why we should not have revaluation at this time is that we should wait until after the = faff elec­ tion and then know the outcome of * the. vote, on the tax amendments. Should these amendments carry the legislature will be.called in session to enact new tax laws.,No one dares pre­ dict what legislation will be enacted. With new avenues opened to tax both ■ money and property the tax spenders would gather a tpll o f millions from property and securities that today is ’ hardly dreamed of. j The farm owners as well as home owners have reason to feel more, or ' ■less safe. With a higher revaluation now and thfi legislature authorized to . enact such tax laws as it wishes and fi.; rates no one can tell what his in­ investment would be worth next year* The impression has gone out that • certain farm organizations were back­ ing proposed changes. It may be that a few farm leaders have taken it on themselves to personally make some recommendations. As A . P. Sandals, known to most every farmer in the state, said the,other day in a public letter, The farmers cannot be fooled. The last time the legislature offered the classification amendment the Ohio Grange and Farm Bureau, en­ dorsed it. A s a result the Grange lost 30,000 members and the Farm Bureau, 70,000 members. * no helping o f pear preserve* or any o f it* llied delectable—ruddy and fresh looking—that a young swain would envy.

The fund has already been drawn to the extent o f $153,50 which means that 614 crows have been killed in the county within a short1' period. The fund provided will pay for 1920 dead crows. Rev.

The ages o f tho boys ranged from nine to about twenty and there were about thirty in the chorus. The company started East with fifty but some o f the boys had to return for school. The chorus is on its way to Philadelphia to sing before the di­ rectors o f the Philadelphia, Exposition that they may.get a place'on the pro­ gram next year. Concerts are being given enroute to pay the expense of the trip. Tho company went from here to London for two days. The boys were entertained in private homes gratis. Their visit here was a treat and an inspiration to young people. ELEVEN SETS OF TRIPLETS BORN IN OHIO LAST YEAR Eleven sets o f triplets were born in Ohio in 1924.

It surely was fine and everyone enjoyed it, es­ pecially when it was given by real American children just like ourselves. Last week the expected but dreaded tests took place. As a result many long faces were seen in the hall o f a morning but some in the group wore smiles so the tests must not have have been so terrible fo r all.

You are {o pay for the folly of a former Probate Judge, J. C. Marshall in making children wards o f the state and then ordering the county to pay the same parents for the care and keep o f their children. The Attorney General brought suit, against, the county for the above bill when County Auditor R. O. Wead refused to pay further bills. Marshall had Spent all the money in the fund and the Auditor could do nothing else than refuse the biffs. The generosity of the Judge continued and the debt became larger and larger. There was no cause for alarm on the part of the Judge as long as there was money to pay his personal salary. m The Supremo Court appointed J. A. White o f Anti-Saloon fame as a mas­ ter commissioner to come to this county and take testimony. The re­ port was field Tuesday and from the Columbus papers the Attorney Gen­ eral lias succeeded in having the judgment affirmed against Greene county fo r he has ordered suits filed against twelve other counties so* le of which owe as high as. $40,000. No wonder the tax spenders in Col­ umbus keep pressing fo r a revaluation of the homes, business property and the farms In Ohio to get more taxes. It is plain that a revaluation is needed to meet the expenditures such as the county has been sued for. Probably when we get the higher valuations and increased tax rates the sting Will be hot enough to awaken the publie to the clever manner in which the .politicians and salary eat­ ers are milking the public.
