HOOVER ENTERSRACE FOR PRESIDENT The big .news event Of the. .week, was the announcement tbft Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, would file a* % presidential candidate in Ohio, aq required by the Ohio Jaw. All candidate* must file.declaration* oy February 24. The primary will be held in April-. Frank B.* Willis, United State* Senator, has been active on the plea of the favorite-son and has the back­ ing Of many of the political organiza­ tions in, the state, However his can­ didacy in the convention is not taken seriously. The practical politicians are back­ ing Willis more for political profit than anything else. Hoover is regarded as the strong­ est candidate yet announced and will no doubt have the backing of the na­ tional administration, His close as­ sociation with President Coolidge will give him advantage., Willis has not been on the most friendly terms with the White House, While Hoover will have opposition ?n many quarters there i^re numerous persons who believe that1Vice Presi­ dent Charles Dawes will loom large in the convention, although not an active candidate in the p^marie*. Dawes stands well, with the West-' ernv farmers while Willis has opposed all forms of farm relief.

School Building Should Be Decorated For several weeks the United ’Presbyterian congregation held services in the High School audit­ orium during which time the church interior was being re­ decorated. The general appear­ ance of the walls in the school auditorium indicated to us that the School building needed interior decoration as bad, .if not worse, than tho church property. .. through 'the building from the top- . to the basement we find each floor could be greatly-.improved. The causuat visitor could not help, but be impressed last Saturday that- the school board should fake some action along that line. ThOwell* were finished in white plaster, and have- housed well on fo , five hundred school children each day of the school year for the past . ten years. It is not a matter of criticism that we bring this con-, dition before the t iblic. The building has been n .11 kept, but the walls of our homes do not go ten years without a new dress. •Sometime* our churches run that long without; re-decoration, but the churches as » rale are open onlyjme or two days a week. We believe we voice the senti­ ment, tit the community when we suggest that the board of educa­ tion. make some effort this summer to have the interior of the build­ ing re-decorated. It is not neces­ sary for aft expensive or elaborate plan but one that will- prove eco­ nomical in the years to come. The school room is the home of . our young people five days a week for nine months of each year. The fact that the building has not been decorated in ten years is proof alone that the time is near when it should be. We have not investigated the financial condition of the board but we know there is a way to pay for this improvement. I f no other way a' bond isstie will be approved by the school patrons. It does not pay to let public or private prop­ erty go down by neglecting re­ pairs or upkeep. We hope the board will proceed this summer with the re-decora­ tion, Lecture Course Friday* February 24 The next number of the Lyceum Course Will be Frederick Merhle Snyder, lecturer, at the opera house, Friday, February 24.
