TODAY , OCTOBER 5, 1929 OCTOBER IS WITH US AGAIN To ntogfc people the month of October is one of the best o f the year. Kevins passed throush a busy summer we look for­ ward to and welcome the month that brings us the brown hue that covers mother earth and the beautiful frost tinged leaves on the trees. With October we are mindful of the coming of fall and then into the winter weather. To us nature seems at its beat in the great out-doors during this month. The month has many events of historical interest chief of which was the arrival of Columbus on the 12th back in 1492. We might also mention the first Colonial Congress as having met on the 7th in 1765. John Brown conducted his raid at Harper's Ferry on the 16th in 1859, It was on October 27th that the first American fell in the trenches in 1917, October always records the coming of the Hallowe en, an event that young America cannot forget. W e are not unmindful of these historical events but what suits us best is the enjoyment we get from these beautiful days. KEEPING IN MIND THE UTILITY COMMISSION Governor. Ponaliey has issued a proclamation asking Ohio people to use Ohio mined coal and thus aid in relieving a situa­ tion that has been created by bad judgment on the part of the miners as well as mine owners, - . . . TTJM.A „ Saturday news dispatches stated that the Ohio Utility Com­ mission had granted a nine cent freight rate to railroads haul­ ing Ohio mined coal. At once coal dealers announced an in­ crease in the price of coal. Monday the rate increase was sus­ pended for thirty days. The .Utility Commission has more inter­ est in the railroads than the coal consuming public, the miners or mine owners. Winter is approaching, and Miamisburg gets a nice gift from the Utility Commission when it granted a twenty cent in- crease in the gas rate, from fifty to seventy cents per thousand. The city had protested hut the Commission thought otherwise. It was only a few weeks ago that a truck owner was arrest- . ed in this county after being hired to transport household goods to another section of the state,, A Utility Commission ruling had been violated.. To have met the ruling would have required the expense of .two trucks where one large one was all that was necessary. Thus you have the situation and ^ach move this depotic board makes forces the public to dig deep into the pocketbopk to the profit o f .some special privilege. CEDARVILLE'S FIRST OBJECTIVE The introduction o f the proposition for waterwc ks here before council should receive sincere consideration on the part of all classes o f citizenship.- - In taking up this subject we are but endeavoring to interest people in something many towns o f this size, and scores of others much smaller, have done years ago. In,many towns waterworks took precedent over paved streets and was second only to electric lights. Cedarville has never regreted the adop­ tion pf paving Main street so that improvement is no longer to be considered, . ~Several plans have been suggested as to how a plant could be Installed blit we have no recommendation to make along that line, particularly at this time. Each plan should be gone into very thoroughly before taking a definite step. There should ba the closest co-operation between the village authorities and holders and all facts laid before the public, Gut fifst Suggestion would be for council to gather data as to how and. under what manner plants were installed in South* Charleston, Mt» Sterling, Hew Carlisle, Yellow Springs, as well as other towns o f this size. Learn what .the overhead cost is., with each and the net profit to the towns. We are told some of these towns have a neat surplus after paying for the plant. It is our candid opinion that a.majority of our people want waterworks. There are others that may be indifferent arid still some .that will object to such a step. This is to be expected just as was experienced when cement streets were proposed thirty years ago or more. There was difference of opinion as to electric lights and also street paving. We have had all these improvements for many years and no one would want to. go back to the days o f coal oil lamps. The advantage o f waterworks in any town are many. First is the convenience in the home and the next is. the possibility of sanitary improvement and .a guaranteed supply of pure water ready at rill times. Insurance companies giv& a town better rating with1waterworks than with motor equipment for fighting fires. ■. ■ .• , The day of-the modern home is here to stay; and no home can be modem in all its appointments without a permenant water supply. It has proven a good investment not only for -home owners but for the landlord, who always finds a ready renter with a home equipped with the latest Conveniences. Many homes have in the past been equipped with private plants at a, cost much greater than what would have been paid in ten years on a waterworks system. In addition this equipment must be operated at some little expense and in time must be replaced or kept in repair. One o f the common complaints is that we have not enough rooms in town with modern facilities for college students. "With waterworks this objection can be overcome and property given a new value. Cedarville wants to progress along with other towns in this section. Civic pride never was a burden to any town and we are urging that the waterworks question be given favorable consideration.

What manner o f men are these, all past eighty year* of age, that so many came thousand or more miles to unite in joyous acclaim that this was the ! happiest day o f their lives, ‘ It was the spirit of true American­ ism that prompt the journey from their far away homed, to unite with unseen, comrades for years in service, vpon the alter o f patriotic sacrifice. Many there were, unahle to make the trip over the line of march on foot, but who did the next best thing of riding in Denvers autos Of the highest class.. Pluck and determination to join in that parade, andmot be left out of it, showed men on crutches that made the route through, others were aided all the way by son or daughter or friend; one, being so anxious to fol­ low his flag again, was supported by an aid at right and left arm but he kept his feet on the ground. It was plainly seen Hu t the aged veterans were not all .serious minded, for many still were full of the spirit of youth even though their silvery heads attested to their four score years, Many were attracted to the little children along the side lines and would reach out to grasp the tiny hands, eager to feel the clasp o f -Den- vers hero worshipers,' Just across the street from where l stood was a bevy of white uniformed middle aged ladies who stood cheering and waving their handkerchiefs to the passing veterans. Along came. Idaho's Department with a lively band in the lead. One of the marchers came jig stepping along all full of life,, and; happy, as big June bug. These gilds gave him the glad hand, when sudden­ ly he stepped aside the marching line, grasped one the young ladies in his arms and around and around they swing in old Virginia reel style out into the middle o f the street. Such a shout o f laughter as there was went up from the spectators. In a moment or two he released his partner doffed his hat to the lady and hastened away with the men to join his Department place.- ' We kept on the lookout for our two Cedarville Veterans, S, T. Baker and Vince Iliff but failed to find Diem in the Ohio Department ranks, Boys, I know how regretfully you missed this opportunity to join in this reunion but.it was not lack of loyalty ,to the flag you both revere I am equally sure.

Ohio Potatoes Don't Get Any Train Ride Slightly More Than l Per Cent Of 1987 Crop Was Moved To Market By Rail Few Okie potatoes get train rides on their way ta market. Only sMgbtly more than 1 per cent wed to market in cariota. The state of the whit* potato crop of 1927 produced about 12,180,000 bushels of potatoes hurt year, an amount equi­ valent to 80,809 care o f 600 bushels each. In the *ame year, 10 cities, in Ohio and adjacent states, reported the unloading o f only 213 cariota of Ohio potatoes, among a total of 25,113 cars; from all sources. j Akron received a greater propor­ tion Of it* earlot supplies, than any other o f the 1 cities, unloading 5 per­ cent of its earlot supplies from Ohio. 'Columbus and Cleveland,'Ohio, Lex­ ington, Kentucky, and Richmond, Vir­ ginia, each took about 2. per cent. Each of the remaining cities received less than 1 per cent of its oarlot potato supply from Ohio points. Truck shipments and other local sup­ plies made up a substantial propor-, ti.on of the potatoes consumed in these * cities, but no record of such stocks is available. The four leading earlot markets for Ohio potatoes in 1927 were Akron, j Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh. These cities took 166 cars or nearly half o f the 37.0 carloads shipped from ! .Ohio in 1927. With potato production for this year likely to bo larger than that of last year, it is possible that the car- j lot movement o f Ohio potatoes will be > different front that of last year, but there is not information upon which to base a forecast o f the change.
