CECILRIFE G AHlIman Calls For Examination The train crew wear -cloth turbine, sandals and white skirt* or robe* with «* wide green girdle around them. There are native settlements all thru the d eserts and one cannot help -but wonder how they live. Their prind pie food is camel or goats milk. I saw several camels and goats in the desert They exist some way or other on the The following interesting letter has v«*y *»n t shrubbery found there, been received by Mr. J . B. Rife from his son, D, Cecil Rife, a t The Ameri­ can Mission, Khartum, Sudan,, written August 24, 1927. Well, here I am, out a t the Geriel Agricultural School. We landed Port Sudan last Sabbath morning anc got into Khartum Tuesday eyening. We would have gotten into Khartum a day sooner if the train had not been held up several times because of the sandstorms and rainstorms on the road ahead. The hottest part of the Sudan season is from sometime in ■ April until the latter part of Septem­ ber, so I am starting to teach during the most unpleasant season and have nicer weather, to look forward to. However the weather is not as bac as I expected. Like the United States Weather conditions haye been very ah normal during the past j/ear, having had more rain during the last year or two .than the people who live here can remember for some: time back, We stopped a t Port ' Said a few hours before entering the Suez Canal It is the dirtiest town I was ever in, Tjie streets are full of peddlers of al! sorts of trinkets who gather around a person like flies if he stops along the street, The inhabitants are Egyp­ tians and Arabs. I bought a sun hel­ met. a pair of white shoes there. . Practically all the country I have seer since leaving Port Said has been des ert. The Red Sea is ihejio ttest place I have been, the heat being more no ticeable because of the atmosphere be­ ing more humid than it is here. Port Sa; l is also very hot, in fact, a good i ian. ] eople claim i t is the hot­ test place in the world. Khartui about 1000 feet above sea level and has a dry atmosphere. It is much cooler than the Red' Sea or Po rt Su­ dan, in-fact the nights are always cool , and-pleasant and we sleep outdoors on the. roof the year round. The nights a re much cooler even than the hot cprh growing nights in Ohio. Possibly th a t is one reason why corn does no better here. «6exetf4s>-|heut fo«*»-R#led r,oufc pf Khartum mid .is situated.-in what was forrhterly barren desert, It has a fine location, be ing ' on ft. little higher ground than Khartum and being sur­ rounded by plots of green grass and alfalfa in the midst of a barren waste of band. They have a windmill and a gasoline engine to pump water from •a deep. well. The. ground is Very fer­ tile but must he irrigated in order to produce anything. The insects are no t as bad as' I suupposCd. There are Scarcely no mosquitos aftd not as many flies as there are in Ohio. The Worst pestB here are scorpions- which are apt to be found under stones or Other objects lying on the ground. They have a ver-y poisonous Sting, hut is remidied by applying potass flium permanganate to the wound. McKnight has. had to trea t quite a few natives, but has never been stung himself. We have no trouble with roaches, ants or insects of that sort, although clothesmoths are pretty bad. The train crews here are composed altogether of native Sudanese and, although the trains are pretty slow, they run smoothly, All the natives have scare or brands on their cheeks, the number and shape of them indi- I was met a t the station in Khar-? turn by Mr. Jack Finley, U, F, Treas­ urer of the Sudan, ana Mr. McClellan, head of the Gereif school and the man I am to live with. We went around to. Finley’s home, where they keep a boarding school for .orphans, and met 'Mrs. Finley, We didn’t stay long as He wanted to get across the desert before dark. He has a Ford, but it is pretty easy to get lost in the'desert a t night, even in a machine, ' ’ Me is a fine fellow. He is a gradu­ ate of Sterling College, Kan.,' and ser­ ved in the navy during the war. After that he farmed four years in Iowa, then went thru Princeton Seminary. He has been here four years. School started thla week, but my classes do not start till Monday,. Besides Me and myself, there are two Egyptian teach­ ers, who teach the boys elementary English. I am, to teach all the agricul­ tural subjects, with the probable ex­ ception of poultry. The subjects 1 am to teach ore:- animal husbandrry, field crops, botany, biology, feeds and feeding, farm mechanics, horticulture and one or two classes in elementary agriculture, - » I Besides the classroom work- we. will do about four hours of practical work along these various lines per weel; -There is a sixty acre farm here and a force of about twenty natives are kept busy here, and in the busy times more are required. Little sickles are used to cut the aftalfa and it is haul­ ed to Khartum on carts pulled, by don­ keys’, and there sold as about fifty cents per cwt. We also have some' milk customers in Khartum. We shall plant some Duro wheat later on and try growing dates, grape fruit, limes, oranges' and bananas, in fact, they have several of these trees already and have a nice. outlOok for bananas The British Government is tak­ ing quite a bit of interest'in the school xnd the .government station 'at Khar­ tum is feeding some of the heifers be- onging to the school free o f charge. They furnish feed fo r all of the cat* h e fted ' They have several donkeys here, al- tho I don't know how many. The farm is-not right oil the Nile, but about a quarter of a mile from it. There are about, twenty-boys en­ rolled in school so far. They m e a very friendly lot and all live here dur­ ing the school year- They do their own cooking and al£o cook and do the lOusework for Me and I. They don’t have much sense of responsibility and have to be told, how to do everything, but are willing to learn, They do not a t with- us and Sleep in another build mg, The (-native Sudanese around Khartum is a-higher type of indlvid' ual than the average Egyptian. They are cleaner, more honest and are much better morally than the Egyp tians. Almost all the boys are Mo* mmadens and very probably have some Arab blood in them. A native woman does our washing once a week. D. CECIL RIFE County Superintendent R, C, Autt- masi announces a special examination by the County oard of School Exam­ iners op Saturday, Sept. 24th. This examination U held for those who on account of illness, travel trips or fo r other good reasons have been unable to take the regular examinations dur­ ing the summer and for the High School teachers who may have been assigned subjects other than those covered by .their certificates. “Those who have failed in-examination dur­ ing the past spring and summer will wot he admitted to this examination, except by presentation of written per­ mission from the Director of .Educa­ tion.” F a rt of the quesions in Princi­ pals of Teaching-are to be taken from 1926-27 reading circle “Foundation in Method - Research for Teachers and Project Method in class room work.’’ Certificates of valuation of credits will be presented a t this time.” DETECTIVE AFTER STATEMTOR JOSEPHTRACY |Commercial Courts On ! Enforced Vacation Oiily Two Candidates For School Board But two candidates filed for Board of Education in this township, J, W, Johnson and Wm. Ferguson. Messrs. W. C. Iliff and Clayton McMillan did not file for the election. A COMMUNICATION To the Herald: Facts concerning the situation in­ volving County Supt. Aultman, who deems himself a prisoner. . About twenty-five men and women gathered in Aultman’s office. These men and women were from the Hyslop district and neighborhood, They asked Co. Supt. Aultman to issue their teach c-r a temporary certificate and also to vouch for his Wilmington College Di­ ploma and'credits which entitles him to a state certificate. This he failed to, do, saying th a t he and Mr. A. F. Roush, a member of the C. Board of Examiners were instructed by the state department not to issue Joseph Kinser said teacher's certificate. The State Department denies saying any thing of the kind. He also claims the teacher Unethetical, due jo Boxwell questions which were found in the Am home pitp; of the schools over the state ferent dates. S. A. Brpseaux, of the Keystone National .Detective' Agency, (Inc.) in Chicago, sends a copy of a letter he mailed to Joseph A. Tracy, Auditor of the State of Ohio. The letter certain­ ly places much responsibility on the Auditor in non performance of duty >.nd violating the minutes of the State Board of Control ij, turning over part cf the money to the C. N. &. I. Board when the pay roll had not been approv ed. ‘ A Tracy evidently has joined hands with the present management regard­ less of ti,e shameful business methods employed in the past as uncovered by an Examiner undent Mr, Tracy’s con­ trol. ' / , I t was Bruseaux, who uncovered wrong doing and placed the situation before Gov. Donahey; The request for an examination followed and as a re­ sult the C«‘N. & I, hoard discharged a number of faithful employees that had given sworn testimony proving that there had been much wrong do­ ing in handling the institution’s busi­ ness. The detective charges in his letter that Tracy had ignored a letter of August 17th in regards to the dismis­ sal of innocent employees. Bruseaux calls .attention to an af­ fidavit made by Joseph Berra, Colum­ bus, which charges that Supt, Richard C. Bundy had openly Solicited a bribe, The writer takes Tracy to task-about the affidavit and says that it &as he that asked the detective to get i t and it is now on file in' tlie examiner’s re­ port, Tracy is. also; quoted, as having said that no individuals emplpyeed by the State of Ohio'could re ta in , their position, if they were1 charged’with this form of graft; More evidence to' this same effect could be made pub lie with ministers .and teachers inter­ ested in the welfare of Wilberforce, Tracy of recent y?eeks has leaned to ;he Industrial Board and evidently is giving the hoafd members' and Supt. '3undy all the protection. Miss Halite Q. Brown sbme wdSkatiga in a board meeting Ini ^ l u ^ ^ ^ f a c e d Tracer tim into a fit. Mrs. W, L. Cletaans and daughter- in-law, Mys.

He also states the crowd to be Klux ors; and that the Hyslop district is the nest or hot-bed for such. This is another false statement. We do know here were Methodists, Protestants, Presbyterians, Catholics} Democrats and Republicans and there may have been a few Klsnsmbn there: He fu r­ ther states that JEtev. Furstenberger took no little p a rt in the action of these peoples. Let i t be said and it can be proved if necessary that Rev. Furatenberger's name has never been mentioned in connection with the mat ter. Mr. KinzCr said he never met the man, and knows him not. * Aultman further states that he is considering placing some Of the mem­ bers of his so-called party under peace bonds. The community hopes he is through considering, and has al­ ready taken some action; for through action, there is hope of accomplish­ ment. ‘ ; We hope the readers of the Herald have enjoyed the former “write-ups’* concerning said teacher and when they read the facts will enjoy i t mote so. We the people from the Hyslop district and surrounding neighbor­ hoods believe Aultman's main purpose in publishing such in the Herald and ait other papers that he can get ac­ cess to, is simply to expose the fact that two members of the County Board will he up for re-election soon, and he needs their support; has i t and must hold them. But we feel and; hope that the* people of Greene coun­ ty who are interested in good schools, and the welfare of the county as a whole, will be more than willing to not only investigate the two men men tioned. and their influence; but will also look up the records of two pros­ pective members who are now upon the ticket for the same places.. They are Mr. R, A. Fudge and Mr. Fred Williamson, who are most highly re­ spected by the people of Greene coun­ ty. This we hope will be the situation before the election thus making the 100 per cent proposition mentioned in the Herald la st Week one th a t is just­ ly considered by the best thinking men and women of Greene county. Let us stand for cleaner schools, cleaner men In office fo r our hoys and 1girls, and fo r decency. Brut Rife has been a member of the County Board since its inception in 1014. It is high time a change is made, for %he good ef, the’ Greene County schools, ®U> Bales bows to Aultman also. This Is the opportune time to i make the change; and the people will > be heard on the school question in G£iqj(M County in November, Ohq. of the Pasty Tracy has been un- : aithful to the State Board of Control members in handing out money with out authority. If there is any one of­ fice in Columbus that needs so inves­ tigation, it is that of the State Aud­ itor, judging from What has happened in connection with the investigation. Ordinarily reports of public inspec­ tions a re given out to the press. This was not done by Tracy iq the Wilber- torce investigation. I f ,you wanted it you had to go to the office to get it o r from the Attorney General, I t will be interesting to know what rind of a reply and what sort of an excuse Tracy will send the detective headquarters. One thing is certain and that is tha t friends Df the insti­ tution are not going to be worn out or discouraged by Tracy’s actions in ending aid to a board and superin­ tendent th a t stands charged with* one o r more very serious acts. What Tracy does is likely to determine fu­ ture action, against the board and al­ so Bundy, And Tracy muy get to have lis say in action he is not expecting a t this time.

Two local citizens have had the experience of the commercialized court—yet neither have wept before the public. Mr, Harry Hammon tells just the experience of many another automo­ bile owner. One eyening when, he went to In's car parked on a prominent down town street in Dayton he found the Car in the custody of two men who represented Jhemselvea as officers, Ee was told that he had violated a .i.trking law and forwith he was taken i.;. one of the famous justice courts in that county outside of the City of Dayton, He met the “Squire” and was hi the presence of an elective officer in a section thickly populated with for serving as an elective officer from a station thickly populated with for­ eigners. Between the constables and ;he “court” pressure was put on Mr; ilamman to put up money for his ap­ pearance in. court. .He had no amount of money but offered a check. This ivas refused. He offered to go into the city to get' money but the officers v.ould not go. He was held in “court” until- after one o’clock in the morning and when the “court” found no chance of getting his hands on cash,' Mr: Kamman was liberated. . The two constables had no author-: ity to take up" any one hi the city fof violating a parking ordinance. In fact there was no Violation but Mr. Ham- man had the pleasure of spending a good part of the night in what we are told is an indispensable court. Mr. JR. C. Ritenour, grain- mid coal dealer and member of the board of .education, Says th a t he- failed, to have the pleasure of signing one of the petitions for the referendum, b u tjf such was yet possible, he would drive five miles' to do so. However Mr. Ritenour has testimony, to offer about the kind of a court the United States Supreme court put out of bus­ iness, and will do a t the ballot box what he did not have the chance of doing for the petition. Our only hope is that Mr. Ritenour remains calm and' composed when he mafcks his ballot and does .not “weep,” For the benefit of those who do not know, the court th a t held Mr. Ham- man until nearly morning, has not been functioning since the Supreme Missing Word Contest Comes To Finish The .Herald’s “Missing Word” Con­ test ends with this' issue, having run from June 24th, a total of thirteen weeks.

B ig Storm Damage InMadison County Thousands of acres of corn was laid level when a big wind and rain storm with some lightning hit Fairfield town Ship in Madison county Saturday even ing. Not only was com damaged but there was considerable damage to light farm buildings. I t is estimated that; 5000 acres of corn was ruined on farms following the Big Plain pike. While this -loss was reported from a neighboring county farmers in most of Ohio have been profiting by. the hot weather in finishing the corn. I t is claimed the hot sun has qdded a mil­ lion a da jrin value-torthe Ohio-corn crop and another ten days will insure many a field of fifty and sixty bushel of com to the acre, The danger has been that early frost might ruin the crop which ,was late in being put out due to the wet weather in the spring. The Ohio Farm Bureau has set out to get 30,000 new members following a meeting of county agents in Colum­ bus this week. This number of new -members-i8-neededr it-' round a program of proper plan of measures directed to the interest of Ohio farmers. M. E.
