No Business Is Too B if to Use .Ad­ vertising and None Too Poor to Af­ ford using it Boston, Mass., March 29,1928 Editor Cedarville Herald: I have just found a yellow leathetr- book that I used to Carry in my Coat pocket marked Cedarville High School September 18, 1871. That reminds me, that graduating from the Indiana State University June 24, 1871, I returned home and took the plow1handies expecting to go to the Theological Seminary, Htta burg early in September, - The Cedarvilie School Board had failed to secure a superintendent add on the 10th of September my father said to me: “Why don't you go down and apply for the place?” So I went down and talked with Mr, James Gowdy, brother-in-law of Joseph Os born, my former teacher, to whom ! owe much more than any other; had a talk, He asked; “Have you ever taught school?” No, “ You have hat no experience?” None at all, “ Do you think you could?" Yes. “Well .that Counts for something,” and. we separated. That evening Robinson Satterfield a member of the Board, asked me tc write an application and make thc- • salary as reasonable as possible. Sc ' I did. The next morning our Pastor Rev, Samuel Sterrett came out one and announced that the School Boart had pnariinously voted that T shoult ' .have the place. One member said “ This tobacco tastes sweeter in the vote. This was Friday and school was to begin the next Monday. Mr. Ster­ rett announced, we will have a meet­ ing of the examining board, to exam* ine you for a certificate. Revs, Hanie Mortohi Sterrett, were the board. • With fear and trembling 1 went tc ‘ the old Grove Building-(Xenia Aye). Mattie Iliffe and three other girls that had been ifi school with me, came to Witness the performance. From two to five P.

In history, what is the relative be-* tween .the State Governments and the general Government of ‘Washington D. C. A t' last they said, “We arc] through.” The lady witnesses rose to depart. As they passed out one o. them whispered, “You will get it al- - right,” That revived my drooping spirits, for I thought I would fail. Then, the Ministers turned their backs will write th* certificate fo r the fall I tfaie of two ypars, and. sign it *s clerk,” Well, the first wen was ‘passed. Bat the fc&eond came quickly. How could I meet my old school mates ? Monday morning I went in time to ring the first bell. Here is the roll; Lacy J. Tarbok, 17; Lee M.

DISTHEIMER The name calendar comes from the Latin word “ calendayium,” which means account book. It was so named by the Romans because the interest fell due on the Calends of the month. in making the first calendars it was found that there were changes of sea- bacame known as the .Metonic Cycle. The Romans at first used a year of five months, but later expanded it to ten months. In 718 B. C., Numa, the Roman Caesar, added January and February, making a total of 12 months.

The beginning of the year was day commenced afc midnight, that of changed from March to January, the Chaldeans and Greeks at stinriSe, and that o f the Italians and Bohem­ ians at sunset. Egypt at a very early age intro­ duced a gractical calendar which be­ gan, the year on the day when Sirus, the brightest star in the heavens, was first observed oil the eastern horizon at sunrise, The Egyptians first used the obe- • lisks in calendaring days, months, sea­ sons and years. They based the year on the changes of the seasons, divid­ ing it into 866 days and these into twelve months o f 30 days each, with five days added at the end of the year. Some writers think we have devel­ oped our present calendar from' the Egyptians, hut it is more probable that We are indebted to the Babylon­ ians for our cakffldtieal system. The early Babylonians are known to have had a welt constructed calendar 6000 b . a ■ The Hebrew calendar was the most complicated, The seasons were first determined by the sunrise, and the Owing to an error in the Julian Cal­ endar o f three days in 400 years, Pope Gregory XlH decided to have the calendar revised, so that every fourth year is a leap year except cen­ tury years, which must be divisible by 400, 1000 was not a leap year but the year 2000 will be, I f the World had not rejected the Julian .Calendar, Christmas and New Year's days would ultimately fall in midsummer, and the United States would be Compelled to celebrate the Fourth of July in the winter time. .

And then when the father passed on the son's /isits did not stop. He kept coming oft to the reunion in his father’s place. And he said on one of his visits ‘I feel that'father would want me to be acre for I know that I am nearer to aim when I am reunion with his old omrades.’ The career of Senator Willis is another page added tb Ohio's glorious history, so that those Who rnme after may find life the better ;or his having lived." . * * * Ohio Motorists were generous in the use of motor vehicle fuel during the past year as certified by register­ ed dealers to the Tax Cimmission of Ohio. According to the gasoline tax duplicate there was a total consump­ tion of 770,657,796 gallons during 1927, which yielded a net tax o f ap­ proximately $20,000,000.

WILL CLOSE ROAD It will be recalled during the annual meeting of the National Farm Bureau, there was a great difference o f opin­ ion on this question known as- the equalization fee. It centered in the election and the radicals wpn by one Vote. The conservatives lost and this brought the defeat of O; E. Bradfute, who advocated a conservative ' plan much along the line that .would meet the approval’ of President Coolidge. Congressman Charles Brand, whose theory along this line is more socialis­ tic than conservative, has attacked Mr. Bradfute in his endorsement Of Hoover, from ;the viewpoint of the ■: farmer. , Bradfute in his letter published in full last week in these columns, was a Well-pointed and a cor­ rect answer to Brand, whose idea is catching votes more thafi'gaining re­ lief for the farmer. The farmer that now has something certainly cannot be won over on the Brand line- of argument by dividing with the farmer that has little or nothing. The statement of - Senator *Fess - Monday is'nothing more than what’ has been expected.'

EXECUTRIX NAMED iTRIPLE WEDDINGANNIVERSARY 1 I TO BECELEBRATED APRIL24l L ■ • I Fifty years ago the "countryside about South Charleston was all agog with excitement. All the folks were getting^ready to go to the triple wed­ ding of three of Simeon Warner’s Seven daughters. What a scene of Susy preparation was Glenwilde, the old homestead1 Half century later now, invitations are beingsent to friends and relatives Scattered in many parts of the world to come to the triple golden wedding anniversary of these same couples on April 24. After this span of years Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Wilson of Selma, now gether. Emma aWay at boarding school in Baltimore was going to Wed Howell Peirce, the next year. “ Let’s make it a triple .wedding, while we are at it,” suggested young Peirce to his sweetheart. When they announced their plans to Simeon Warner, he pronounced, “Boarding school is no place f o r , Emma if she is going to get married. .She had better come home and learn to cook.” So she got a three month’s thorough course in home economics under her mother. Mrs. Peirce recounts today how this training proved in good of Lodge Grass, Mont.; Mr. and Mrs. stead to her through her early house- Howell Peirce, 2363 Portsmouth ave­ nue, DeVeaux Park, Toledo, and Mr, and Mrs. Charles Dugdale, Homedale. Idaho, are tim ing their steps back to the scene where the romance of their lives was culminated on the same day. But not all who figured in that fdstive occasion are here to celebrate With them. Instead of their parents, their children and grandchildren will occupy the center of the stage o f in­ terest With them. Only 34 of the original 125 guests who saw the three “ Warner girls” married, survive to­ day. Apcl two miles from the old Warner home 'in a little one-room cottage, lives old “ Auntie Helen Gibson” who supervised the kitchen proceedings whereby numberless fine cakes were set upon the bursting boards and chicken after chicken was prepared as no bne else could in that neigh­ borhood in those times. Auntie Gibson says, she doesn’t know how much past 100 years old she is now, ‘cause down in Virginia, they never kept record o f the slaves born. But she does remember that since she’s been living in those parts right after the war, there’s never been another time like that one when “ the Warner girls was married.” Originally a double wedding had plannad. Laura Etta and Maty Han were going to be married to* keeping difficulties.' Prior to the wedding, long shopping trips were made to Cincinnati. Down there were brough the 60 yards o f grosgrain taffeta used in the three wedding gowns all made alike. The post-bellum voluminously draped gowns were worn by the three brides on that eventful day; with the young benedicts in their fashionable Prince Albert coats of the day.’, Roads leading to Glenwide were crowded With surreys and carriages of the guests on their Way to the biggest social affair ever known iri*4the county. Memory of that day is written vividly into the memories of those who still live to recount the scene o f that sim­ ple Quaker Wedding. Down the Wide, cheery stairway o f the Dutch colonial home o f the Warners came those three young brides, hearts aflutter under the lay. ers of rose-gray taffeta. The thick spruces and cedars were casting the • long shadows o f late afternoon behind them, Brilliant splotches o f the fad­ ing sun lighted up the bower o f apple blossoms. under which each couple took their Vows. Married by the Friends’ ceremony, which doe., ’'of, require the service*.of a preacher, each young man recited in turn the following oath: % \ f - 1
