Editor Gets Insurance Refund One o f the pleasures o f the recent installation of waterworks in Yellow Springs has been the marked reduc­ tions in insurance rates. While the plant is less than a year old additional homes are being daily connected with the system which is now on a paying basis. Editor J. N. Wolford was in town last Friday evening and- ex­ hibited a check he had received from an insurance company refunding part o f his insurance premium, The com­ pany voluntary refunded nearly one third of the original premium. It is said the average for the general run o f property in Yellow Springs was about twenty-five per cent. Citizens are not only well pleased with the waterworks system but point with much pride to the low insurance rates now in force. Farmers that have been held up by recent rains in wheat harvest have been forced to cut their wheat this week after it was dead ripe. The wet weather has hindered hay harvest as well and many fields of corn have now reached th e . stage Where it is im­ possible to plow. It is expected that one o f the best wheat crops in recent years will be threshed just as soon as weather permits.

Shroades is one o f ,the strongest supporters o f waterworks for the town that we have met. He has no apology to offer and many good reasons for it. He believes that if we want the town to continue to grow and prosper we must get in line with other progressive towns. He says there are so many good reasons for such a system and none why we should not. His best reasons for waterworks are that modern conven­ iences in the homes wilt be possible to all and our exceedingly high insurance rates will be reduced wiliich will mean a saving to every property owner. NEW WATERWORKS Meclmnicsburg is to have a water­ works system. Drillers put down a 10 inch well to .the depth o f 78 feet and struck a stream that stood 36 hours o f pumping Which failed to lower the supply. MechanicsbUrg should sec our pump station and fo l­ low the example of South Charleston. No coal, no dirt, nobody at the sta­ tion, as it is all electrified and takes care o f itself, -*-S. C. Sentinel. ncle Charley" Brand- o f this dis­ trict wants a seat in the upperhouse and always has new press-matter as to what he is going to do for the “ dear people” in his district. Charley is never without an idea but he has had much trouble getting congress to adopt any of them. He has secured about as little legislation o f merit as any member of that body. At present he is operating .under a great handi­ cap all as a result o f his collosal blunder when lie attacked Hoover, pre­ vious to the last presidential primary. With Cooper a good angel among politicians “ Unde Charley" will have to produce more than talk and press notices. Postmaster General Walter Brown of Toledo is mentioned as more than a possibility and Walter holds the strings on appointments that change many a man’s mind if he is looking for patronage. The friendship that exists between Brown and Brand is about like that o f a pup and a flea. Job holders will have no trouble in making up their mind with Walter in the contest. Three years means that Brand must come again for his 3eat in Congress, a fourth term, or drop ou t It is known that fires are now being built under Brand’s political structure. Cooper appointees are not boosting the Congressman for a fourth term. Federal patronage will not be entire­ ly at his disposal and even members o f the "third Ohio legislative bouse,” known as the lobby, are throwing cold water on any kind of a political aspir­ ation Brand may have. The lobby has U friend in Ex-Senator ( ? ) Marshall o f this county, and some work is being done in his behalf fo r Brand’s place. The candidate that is most likely to start as a pole horse in the con­ gressional race is Probate Judge Harry Gram o f Springfield who stand ace high with the party sponcers in Clark county. More than that he is reported to be in good standing With the Cooper administration and in Washington. Patronage has a lot to do towards lining up support when the word is passed out. The automobile clubs in this district will again have their inning should D, Pemberton’s choice for congress enter. The bad taste of the late lamented Marshall bill campaign will bring up old issues. Motor car owners did a good job in the referendum election bn that hill and probably can be de? pended upon to go the limit once more. One hundred twenty-four campers were enrolled Monday evening at the annual South, West District 4-H Camp at Antioch Glen, Yellow. Springs, which will be in session this week.

PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR LOCALBOSTER COMMITTEEFOR WATERWORKS Sentiment for a waterworks system for Cedarville is growing daily and there is now much discussion as to the possible benefits. Citizens have awakened to the need o f a water sys­ tem to secure lower insurance rates and at the same time give greater protection to hea th. Civic pride de­ mands this step that the village keep pace v .th other progressive towns, Cedarville has so many outstanding advantages in the way o f labor through our industries. With our Main street paved with brick and other streets of the macadam type we have as much to be proud o f as any other town of this size in this section of the state. The only handicap is a waterworks system and this is a pos­ sibility in the near future. Council has accepted the report pf Collin’s Wright, engineer, Dayton; who has given in detail the needs fo r a system that will meet the approval of the State Board of Health, and-also .the Fire Insurance Rate and Inspec­ tion^Bureau that^makes all rates for insurance in Ohio. Cedarville was. dropped from fifth place last year to ninth in classification for insurance rates. The new rates now going into ' effect are much higher than any town that has waterworks, . In Yellow Springs the rates were reduced from twenty-five to thirty-three and one- third per cent following the installa­ tion of a water system, A Citizens Waterworks Committee has been organized to boost for the installation'of a water system. These men are loyal supporters o f the plan and the organization is not limited lit membership and will be expanded from day to day! The following is the membership o f the committee under the direction o f Wm. Conley, chairman; W. W. Gallo­ way, W, C. Iliff, S. C. Wright, G. A. Shroades/G. E. Masters, Ancil Wright, A. E. Huey, J.

The new plan is. much the. same as adopted some years ago in Cedarville; The vote was 232 to 42. The town and township, have been operating separate school districts. To. eliminate extra costs the town hoard has gone out o f existence. It is also hinted there has been friction between the two boards. A t present there is only one teacher em­ ployed fo r the joint school, which now passes to the township. There is said to be opposition to the union in Miami township and a report reached here Wednesday that the elec­ tion will be contested. The combined plan has operated not only profitably in Cedarville township but has given perfect satisfaction to the school patrons. VALUE ESTATE Estate o f Sallie B.
