Tr-' 1 ' #' I If Eveiy Woman Knew What Every Widow learns, Every Husband Would Be Insured With Our Accident Policy, FIFTY-FIRST YEAR NO, 19. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAl APRIL 20,1928 NEWSLETER FROM STATE i DEPARTMENTS! COUJ&I&C3,0.—Now that the sea­ son is at hand when motorists are trailing iii their old automibiles on new ones, Secretary o f State Clarence J. Brown has issued a statement call­ ing attention to the fact that the auto­ mobile laws o f Ohio require that all motorists transferring license plates from their old to their new motor car must ohtain a legal transfer certifi­ cate from the local deputy commis­ sioner o f motor vehicles in their com­ munity. The fee fo r such a transfer is $1.00 unless the tegs are used on a higher power car in which case the additional ffce for that power classifi­ cation is charged. The enforcement o f the law requiring transfers is necessary ,both for the benefit o f the 1state and the protection of the motorist-owning the car. Unless such transfer is made the state records show the tags still being used on the old car and as a result the identifica­ tion system is seriously handicapped. On the other hand it is il^sgal for a motorist to operate an automobile with tags that have not been legally transferred and in casB of an accident, regardless of, who might really be ir, fault, the motorist without legally transferred plates is held responsible inasmuch as his car is being operated on the highways illegally. A fine o; $25.00 zhy also be assessed against any motorist who fails to make legal transfer to his license plates and the Secretary o f State points out that ilt , mighty good insurance to legally transfer and to do it now. * * Dr. Alfred Robinson o f ' Irontoi, Lawrence county, friend o f humanit: general, who" presides over the Thompson Again Endorses Hoover .win: lower branch o f the 87th General As­ sembly as Sergeant-at-arms, still re tains a rather youthful appearance do- ' spita the fact that' he-has celebrated . his seventy-seventh natal anniversary.

Buckley in extending congratulations to his fellow citizen, Hon. William G. Pickerel, of Dayton, on his appointment' as Lieutenant Governor to succeed Lieu­ tenant Governor Earl D. Bloom,points out an umisual circumstance, where the new Lieutenant Governor and the State Treasurer both reside within three squares o f each other on the same street, Kenilworth avenue.

He. gave as his reasons for1 backing Hoover that the secretary had' accomplished (great things during the world war and a the reconstruction period. : The letter was in answer to one from Dr. Wilbur in which he said; straight answer should be given to foul and unfair political propaganda such as has been put out in Ohio with regard to Mr. Hoover. “ It is an offense to the intelligence i f the American people that one who has contributed so much to the United States throughout the world should be submitted to such unfairness and mis­ representations/' ■* COUNTY WILL BOY LANG DITCH BONDS Offer o f the purchase o f bonds ag­ gregating $2,271.39, issued to finance construction o f the Lang single-county ditch, mads by County Commissioners to the Gre*fie County Board o f Sink­ ing Fund Commissioners, has been n o <w*pted, according to a resolution adapted by the former board Monday.

S, department o f agriculture extend, according to word received here by the department o f rural economics o f Ohio State Univer­ sity. Based on purveys as of-April i , the report shows that the winter wheat In Ohio is only 32 per cent normal, White during the past Iff years the crop of'w inter wheat on April 1 has Averaged 79 per cent normal. The worst .previous year in this regard in the history q f the agricul­ ture department was L900 when the winter wheat crop in, April 1 was 47 per Cent o f normal. / The report also showed that the average winter wheat crop in United States was 69 per cent normal and that the average fo r the United States over a period o f 10 years has been 80 per cent normal. A large acreage in Ohio last fall was planted in winter wheat, the re­ port shows, Freezes coming when wheat still was tender killed much o f it and .the unseasonable winter weather further damaged the crop. Many communities report farmers this spring are plowing under many fields -of winter wheat, the growth from the seeding being too small to justify allowing it .to grow. Consider­ able oats will bC planted and there will be much, extra activity on farms ’as a result. William guilty to a charger ,6£ selling, intoxi­ cants and was retyped Under $800 bond.

On Friday, March 2, Leigh, John and I went to Luxor to see the marvelous antiguities there,. Then on up to Assuan, John and I have just returned arid Leigh will dpepd another week up there, doing things more in­ tensively than we did. 1 took along writing materials, supposing I ’d have time to write a nice letter. But with violent sightseeing all day and a s - / siduous study in the evenings I wrote . not a single letter. Now when we get back to Assine we hear that on Wed­ nesday morning there wap a riot here at the college and that the news evidently got to America in half a d ay ,, fo r the Board sent ,a cable o f inquiry on ’ Thursday. I hope you have, not been, worried; but \yhen no letter from me fo r this week comes I ’m rather afraid that you may* have felt some concern over us. We’re all safe and sound,vwere away up at Luxor when it all happened. I’ll tell you first about the Tiot, I, don’t know how much you all may know about modern Egyptian affairs, so I’ll give you a hit o f a summary. In 1919, as you know, the British' agreed to make Egypt independent with her own King and Government, on a basis to be worked out! They took dntil 1922 to work that out finally, and the result was very un­ popular with the Egyptians. Britain was to leave with four points stipu­ lated. (1) England retains the Sudan, while Egypt objects to' bitterly be­ cause it means control o f the Nile which is her life. (2) England retains the Spez Canal, otherwise India would he shut off. (3) England retain* the ted one run in the two. innings, Teh errors were charged up against the locals . and .Boyer, who usually plays outfielde: was in an infield position, and permitted five to be credited to him. In the combat Monday with,Wilber* force the later won on a score of 24 to 11. The latter hit the two Yel­ low Jacket pitched for 19 hitB. Cedar­ ville obtained 16 hits. C. Lyons took the lead in hit3 fo r the locals. The Defiance College team will met the Yellow jackets on the local dia­ mond Thursday. .

LoutMan o f the state depart­ ment o f education, gave one o f the main addresses o f the program. The dedication address was given by Dr, B, F. McWillianS o f the board o f trustees, and the acceptance address by President Gilbert H. Jones. Following the dedicatory exercises the building w** thrown open to th* public fo r hmpaOfcioh. minorities, the Christians, foreigners, etc. The "understanding was that at some future date England.would give ‘ up these four point, a date gloriously indefinite,' The present ■Egyptian Ministry made up its mind that .Eng­ land would come to terms now, so they have been making insistent demands to that effect. On Tuesday the official refussal of England to yield on any o f these points Was announced. A t once , the entire ministry resigned and the students began to strike and riot. The term students really needs explana­ tion. Three kinds of schools exist in Egypt, private schools, like our Mis­ sion schools, Government schools sup­ ported and run by the Government, but not public; and (3 ) the schools iippportcd by a land tax, under the Mohammedan religion. In order to let teachers for this latter class o f schools they give them prospective teachers their clothes and their keep. So these prospective teachers are grouped in schools and they’re a wild’ lot, Any Moslem who doesn’t want to work for his living can get into one o f these schools and many o f them are an absolutely worthless lot. It’s among this group o f students that most of the disorders start. Here in A sbu R this group o f prospective Mo­ hammedan educators {■?) decided to strike, and then to go to all the other schools in AssUit and compel their students to do likewise. Suffice it to ay that all the other schools in As- suifc did strike, but when they went to our college they found » student body who didn’t want to join their motley crowd. They appeared, 200 o f them, waving clubs and loaded with stones on the campus just after our boys had dispersed from chapel to their classes. In the first building the janitor stood them off while the. students inside got all the doors and windows and shut­ ters closed, the janitor having his wrist broken in the process. So on they .went to Alexander Hall, yelling lustily. Naturally the students and professors had heard them and by the time the mob was Oh them all the windows and dOors In front had been closed, but they got to the back en­ trances o f which there are four be- before they Were all dosed.

Dr. Russell wa* hit on hi* right arm where he had just recently been vac­ cinated, so he has suffered quite a little, but it’s nothing sariout. By this time a lot o f our AsSuit boy* were out mixing up with the crowd* fighting them off and all the servant* on the campus, to a man, got out to help, a fact that ha* pleased the ads- Sionaires very, Very much.
