CLIFTON’S BOUNCER MET ' HIS MATCH HERE A stopp ing big fellow from Clif­ ton marched into tqwn one night last week and opening the door o f a local store asked if a certain young man was present. The local hoy went to* the door and stepped out by invitation. Ho had no sooner hit the sidewalk until the Clifton bouncer had pasted him a couple o f blows that left nice marks. This week the Clifton Jack Demp­ sey showed up again. He was out fo r another* bout and att npted to try liis powers on cne or two before he struck the right fellow. One of our young athelets wan singled out by the CMftosite. He made a pass, missed and lost liic title.. He took back with him a pair of the nicest black eyes, a bruised face, dents in his side anil a broken nose that is hew in splints. It only required a few seconds to- loose the title and win black anil blue marks that he will remember for a long time.

CREDITORS TOLD THEY MUST BRING SUIT COLUMBUS.—Teachers, janiton and bus drivers, employed on con­ tracts, must secure judgments against their school district in order to insure obtaining their salary when there is no money available in current funds to pay them, Attorney Genera! Crabbe ruled' recently. The judg­ ments would then be met by special levies, Crabbe also Tilled that a county board 6£ education may aid a school district that has exhausted its funds, if county commissioners will appro­ priate from any surplus in the coun­ ty general fund, the money so ad­ vanced to be deducted from subse­ quent tax distributions to tho district aided. In the same opinion he ruled fu r­ ther that a county board o f education may borrow after Jan. 1 to meet op­ erating expanses o f the fiscal year, in anticipation o f tax revenues to bo received later, Under the provisions o f tho Vorys budget act, no part o f the 192G tax revenues may be used to pay over­ drafts incurred in previous years, Crabbe held, in another opinion.

KNOW ABOUT MONEY “When you are as old as I am,” said Aunt Emmy to her niece Molly, ‘‘I hope there won't be* so many wid­ ows like Mrs. Strong losing every cent through ill advised investments and having to take any sort of a job to keep body and soul together,” “Why not, Annty?” inquired MOlly. "Widows and orphans have always been victimized,” "They don't need to be," replied Aunt Emmy. "Every da'y .bettor, in­ vestment advice is open to women. Mow-a-daya the banks make their de­ positors feel that they can go to them with their financial problems. The more women have to do with banka tho wiser they become about tho dis­ position of their money. In tim* women will know enough to look carefully into every investment be­ fore they venture, and to question any promises to pay more than a rea­ sonable return. It takes an experi­ enced financier to judge if investment Is safe. Women as a rule do not un­ derstand tho tragedies that lurk around money. They love nice things and naturally want them so they are often led into foolish investments and speculations because they, seek to gratify their wishes quickly. The so- callod 'sure thing* that pays enormous dividends is usually sure loss. “ Don't think, Molly, that I mean thatwomen should not seek to get the most out of tlieir money. They should. But tho way to ,get the most is to keep It safe. They should seek advice, Properly and conserva­ tively invested at six per cent and the Interest rednvested each .year, money will actually double itself hi twelve years. If you take $5,000 and lay It away it will be only $5,000 to the end of time. If you put It into an 111 advised investment—R might all be lost over-night. But If you get good advice and put. It to work in a good investment it will ha $10,600 in a dozen years.” “ I don’t think I ever realized so clearly before that women ought to know more about money--I thought it was only for mrn,” caid Molly. "Women aro often left on ihc-lr own resources,“ said Aunt Emmy, " if they talked with their banks more thers would he fewer Mis. Slrong3.M— A nnk B.

BAXTER BILL PASSED BY LEGISLATURE The Ohio legislature met last Fri­ day for a “ one day” session to com­ plete what tho Imperial dictators from Cincinnati had cut out fo fr them to do. As a bill must have aeparate readings before passage Robert Taft, speaker of the House, and" a few friends gathered several days preyious in a supposed session to give the Baxter bill its first reading and start it oh it’s way. When members gathered Thursday there was considerable opposition to the manner ire which the bill was be­ ing forced through. The Cincinnati politicians have a way of making the members come their way and before daylight Friday motning the storm o f Thursday had passed away. . One member threatened to bring out Bible bill fo r passage, others had pet measures but the supreme dicta­ tor had his way. Cries o f relief fo r Allen county were echoed in both Houses, The, tax payers refuse to vote more bonds in that county and in Lima so the legislature, using this County as an example, passed the Baxter bill whereby petitions can be circulated among the non-taxpayers add thus, increase, the tax rate. Such a law o f course must apply to every county and tax district in Ohio. The tax spenders had their day. Allen county has been re-appraised and will now get a higher tax rate on the new val­ uations. . . . There was so much, opposition to the Yory’s law that members were forced to make some changes. The ' law would have, been repealed had it not been that Gov. ■Donahey would make political capital o f the blunder the legislature had made last spring. Gov. Donahey vetoed the bill and the legislature passed jt over his veto. Regardless o f how strong the bill was the legislature last Friday shot a hole in the law by permitting the issuance o f $500 certificates good f o r .' 90 days. When that is spent any board can issue another for 90 days. The net result is that clerks will have* more bookkeeping than th ey . would otherwise have had before the change. This same method was tried out 20 years ago* but the law was never enforced. A t that time certificates were limited to $1000. Even few at­ torneys knew o f such a law and it on­ ly came to the suffaoe since’ the last legislative session, Reports vary as to what Gov. Don- nheydlrill do with the bill. He can sign it, veto it or let it become a law with­ out his signature. The legislature is more concerned as to what Donahey is going* to do than anything else. If the Baxter bill is vetoed the Governor will be charged with closing down schools. The safest prediction is that he will lot the bill became a law with out his signature. By so doing he will be ignoring the legislature, Mi*. W, C. Iliff and daughter, Miss Helen spent several days last Week in Chicago, .
