FIFTIETH YEAR NO. 18. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, flfelDAY, APRIL 15,1927. COLLEGEHANDS DEFEATTO WILSERFOROE Cedarville College opened its base ball season Monday against the Wil* berforce University club with a 7-4 victory. The victory marked the first time since 1906 a team' fx-om Cedar- viUe College has defeated the colored lads. . The first inning started as if Wil- berforce was going to make a track meet ou t o f the game. Before Nagley the reliable ■ southpaw athlete o f the school could retire the side four runs were chased across the pan. Two sin gles coupled with three errors gave the Green and Black their lead. But their prosperity was short lived. In censed at the way o f things Orange and Blue lashed into the ■pitching o f Gibbs fo r four runs in their half o f the second. McLean •first matt up in the second crashed a resounding double over the left field fence. Three more bingles quickly followed and Cedarville had tied the score. The 'Wilberforce lads triei to tally again but were completely at the mercy o f the wonderful twirling o f “ Wee.William /' Seven ‘boys from Wilberforce -whif fed the microbes by the. strikeout route. So effective was the pitching .Of Nagley that only one putout was made in the outfield, Orr and Evans on the left side o f the infield played midseason ball as did Lyons and Tur ner, the guards o f the right side of the diamoUd. j Wilberforce will play a return game Saturday at the school diamond, weather permitting. Baseball en thusiasts o f the school are highly e iatfed over the victory and rare con fidexit o f better things for the coming season. Coach liorst has not yet de cided who will pitch this game bat Nagley cx McLean will probably ge the call fo r mound duty. The entire- squad is in fine condition and arc hopeful ;o f putting before the local fans the best ball team that the school has boasted, fo r a long time.

Ask To Discontinue J Local Train Service Two weeks ago the Herald carried a story which ai thac time could hot be confirmed relative to the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company asking the Ohio Utility Commission to discon tinue the morning trains on this di vision. We understand now that th * company has taken such action. Thv big problem that confronts the pub lic is the mail service, unless the fas: trains take Care o f the mail. There will no doubt be protests over such ■ action from the .various towns. The company will ask for a discontinuance on the grounds that the revenue o : the service does no,t pieet Expenses, JUDGEC.H.

They had been packed fo r two weeks expecting to go at any time.. . > ... They left Ruling at 6 p. m Jan, 13. Usually it is about a four hour trip. They had to go six miles down the mountain carried in sedan chairs and 9 miles in motor bus across the plains .through the city o f Kinlciang where they are having much trouble, and on to a river boat. On the trip they were constantly delayed and had to wait at every place and it was four o'clock the next morning when they were taken on the U. S. gun boat Penquin. The yelling and growling coolies had. stolen everything, front the party they could. They would grab the members o f the party and draw their fingers across their throats in a threatening manner. To hear a mob of Chinese coolies, mut tering dnd jabbering and howling in the dead o f night was not ' * very pleasant sound but they were glad to escape with their own lives. There were 40 -Americans in the party and 22 o f them were children. They were real refugees. The officers were very kind and they gave the party a big breakfast. About eleven the Sui-no, a British river boat came along'and took us on and three days later we arrived in Shanghai. Some Amcrip&.x ladies met them at the boat and told them where to go.

As a result Cincinnati lost in a gam& with a score o f 2-1, Some local friend took advantage o f “ Smithy” and had a neat crepe on the barber shop door with an approp riate verse, Regardless o f the fact that the Reds lost the opener there is mo more loyal fan that “ Smithy,” OHIO LEGISLATURE TRYINGTO FOOL THE PUBLIC “ lie ijaa Siscit’ ***^8^)^ For some unexplained reason the legislature > ou ld rather fol low the lobby Maintained by the . road machinery and material in terests as w ell^s the public util ity crowd, tharjito listen to rea son or argamMgg from those who are to be ealledfepon to pay the penalty o f varJp additional tax es, It seems that T -•'f Of the mem! ture have no h< ing to trickery Tesentation. at this time is' goodly number o f the legisla- tahey in resort- Well as misrep- Ohio situation at only disgust- Father Brings Suit Against Pennsy Ry.

More than one member will fin] his political fu ture has heen wfitten so far as the public is concerned. .Misrepresentation has been put forth in regard-’ to gasoline tax funds. With present 2 cent tax Ohio will h$Jm left over from this biennium 815,760,000, or i more than 81,5(10 a mile fo r main .tenance and repair. -Illinois pays $326 a mile fo r repair; Indiana with gravel roafis, $598; Fensyl- vania, 968; West Virginia, $864. And yet Ohio tax spenders arq not satisfied with $1,600 a mile The Ohio Legislature'is play- .ing the public fo r fools, in regard to taxation measures, especially the ■ gasoline .tax. The public would he tolerant towards the law-making body if the proposed bills were supported in ' an open and free manner. Unfair methods have been employe^ and question able motives are behind the gaso line tax bill. Certain interests expect to profit ftoiff this tax. It cannot be denied, that the motor owners are to be the goat for the politicians and. material interests. An attempt has been made to 'fo o l the rural Moment that road .cost construction-was t o be lifted in the townships • and counties: While this is done under one bill another fixes a half mill tax cn all farm and home owners in the state, The Nortpu bill will leave . the state shy more than a million with the additional one cent tax oh gasoline. - The milk ofth ’e cocoanut ih the proposed gasoline increased tax is the new jobs that will he creat ed. Under this bill $730,000- in salaries for new jobs are creat ed, an assistant director; deputy directors, fifteen division - direc tors; 15 division clerks and sten ographers; 15 division offices; 88 resident deputies; 88 resident dis trict offices; 88 resident clerks, and as many nupre positions as the highway director deems nec essary. The present gasoline tax bill is nothing more than ' a vehicle to legalize a huge graft at the ex pense o f the automobile owners. The proposed road legislation is" so framed to eliminate town- ! ship trustees, county commis sioners and local powers that the public can be gouged. There are indications that the little brown satchel is again in evidence in Columbus. t o ' ■HS , I \UTOCAlfTtiC Awards Distributed IflL!|ft EADRIED flKi v By Prof. John DavisiUlMM rMniflEn UW THE LEGISLATURE The'Wilmington Daily News-Jour- , nal gives the following account o f Smith-Hughes vocation agricultural banquet of-the Kingman High School, Prof. John 'Davis, being the Smith- Hughes instructor. “ A company o f 50 persons enjoyed, the fifth annual banquet o f the Smith-.

Xenia now has the increase rate under advisement but the city commission has not acted up on it yet. Cedarville will -be the next town in this section to be asked for an increased rate. The ordinance will have to go be fore council and if it is refused there the Ohio Utility Commission Will fix the new rate. Council or a city commission can do nothing more than grant the rate asked. Heretofore the Utility Commission has granted most any rate gas companies ask. PERSONAL TAX RETURNS Senate this year is the best, argument the Epworth Leagues o f Sharon M. E. Ithafc could be found fo r a one-house church and the New Burlington legislature. This body, has succeeded church. } *n various ways in makiifg itself the Guests o f the students were their laughing stock of ..the state.” 'The respective fathers, members o f the Senate passed a bill fixing congress- Chester Township Board o f Education ional lines and leffc Homes county out men members o f,th e school faculty anV congressional district. The Former Say* .this is but a sample o f the. kind o f legislation .passed this year and that Governor Donahey can be depended upon to use his veto axe if, tlie House does not tnifice the cor rection., Further comment runs: “ It may be that :by theirr.conduct the mem bets o f the senate are trying to dem onstrate the need fo r a higher type of legislator.”. . In reference to the half mill direct tax levy the Ohio Farmer calls i t '. a temporary finacing device that is in defensible and has as its only pursible •justification the emergency due to the $13,000,000 deficit in the state treas ury. - , “ In adopting.the.'half" mill levy as a means o f meeting the deficit the legislature is not meeting the revenue problem o f the state. It is only adopt ing a stop-gap measure ^that will leave matters just as bad or worse when the assembly meets in 1920. “ What the .legislature will do when and i f Governor Donahey Vetoes this tax increase is not known, hut if it takes the members o f the assemby as long, to figure out a substitute as it has the present financial program, then they will be in session all sum mer. “ The Ohio Farmer is unalterably opposed to any reimposition o f the state tax levy for any purpose. Such a tax is the most reprehensible means o f raising revenue possible, “ Ndw all the farm and hW e own ers* in the state will point to those who voted fo r this levy and say “ They raised our taxes.” Miss Ritenour Injured 1 ; When Hit By Auto - 4 t ‘ —— r- , 1 * $ Miss Jeanette Ritenour, daughter- of- Mr. and Mrs. R .
