By this victory Coach Baker’s warriors swept aside the last of the opposition to stand between them and the unofficial Greene County Championship, which they have held for four -successive years, Cedarville’s touchdown dame during the first quarter of play, after Abel had carried down the field to the goal line, and Beatty carried it over. Abel made the count 7-0 when he placed a beautiful kick between the goal posts. Osborn had one of the best defen­ sive teams Cedarville has opposed this year and previous to this game only six points had been scored against them. The several seniors on the team, playing their last game showed by their fighting spirit that they wanted the game to be a memorable one for them'. 1 During the game Abel carried the ball 266 yards without increasing our score, which further proves the strength of Osborn’s defensive ability. The . team and Coach wish to take this opportunity to thank Professor Furst and Coach Borst for their hearty co-operation throughout the grid season. * . # • No business is too big to use adver­ tising1and none too poor to afford using it. ; PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR WANTS DIVORCE Wilful absence from home for more than three years is charged in a suit Ifor divorce filed in Common Pleas (Court by John Morgan against Alice 'Morgan.

Clifton, Columbus, had a busy day Tuesday hearing complaints from five different districts in this county. Beavercreek and Caesarcreek town­ ships each turned down -special levies for high schools at the recent election. By this the board could not meet state requirements for standardization. Both districts were dropped from first to second grade. ; Beavercreek is one of the wealthiest districts in the county and for years vjcmOTr * the^' top “'‘with her schools. It was onfi of the first to have a centralized high school but the decision of the voters made it impossi­ ble fqt' the board to look to the future in the hope of maintaining the state standard. As a result the first grade certificate was revoked and this auto­ matically puts a handicap on students from both townships unless they are transported to .other first grade high schools. Caesarcreek township, we understand could not maintain a first grade school under present regula­ tions on their tax duplicate. There is now a petition up for con­ sideration before the county board signed by ninety per cent of the pa­ trons asking that 2,000 acres in the to be acquired is old and much of it deiapidated.
