FR ID A Y , SEPTEM BER 27 , 1929 — V- HOW TIGHT IS UNCLE CHARLEY’S PURSE STRING? With months ahead before the electors select the next con- pjer'iium in this district, the politicians are now busy trying to Lx political fences. Two candidates are said to have their weather eve on the job and a third stands ready to announce at a late date. After the two entered exhaust their force m the combat and the public becomes disgusted the third can enter with the electors ready to retire the combatants. One candidate likes the position so well he is out for an­ other term. His service has been anything but outstanding for the largest Republican district in the state. The other candi­ date has utility leaning and is backed by a lobbyist as manager of the campaign. The lobbyist for years represented the Cin­ cinnati liquor interests about the Ohio legislature and is known to have control of two of the lower counties in this district, both of which are recognized as being on the machine list. Already political circles are buzzing with stories of the vvby and wherefore of the second entry if it is not to get Uncle ('harlev in the hole with three candidates in the field. In this case tiie iwo**machine counties- where elections are mani­ pulated as per instruction, could be put on the auction block. I’ncle Charles is credited with having a deep as well as a fat pocket book and, in a three cornered fight might be induced to dig deep to strengthen his position. . The eye of the lobbyist is cunning and he usually knows his ground as well as the value of two counties that can be delivered. With such a situation political observers are not so sure about the sincereness of any announcement of candidacy. It has the ear-marks of oppor­ tunity for a deal but this will depend on how tight the purse strings are around Uncle Charley’s pocketbook, - . ( LET’S STUDY UP ON IT! , There is up before the electors at the November Election an issue that will eventually affect every person in the state yet it might safelv be wagered that not one in 25 knows what ’‘it’s all about.” That is what is for purposes of convenience known as the tax limit amendment but its most important aspect is that it removes the “uniform rule” of taxation from the state constitu­ tion and makes possible the passage by the legislature of laws classifying property for taxation. “On the fence” perhaps best defines the attitude of the Union on this issue and that is its attitude chiefly because it feels that it has not had opportunity to study the amendment to form a considered opinion. Nevertheless it has one or two ideas concerning the pro­ posal which it is ready to submit. One is that there is great lack of knowledge concerning it even among those who are generally informed on public questions. For instance, the aver­ age citizen believes that the adoption of the amendment would in some way immediately bring classification of property for taxation. In reality it would merely make it possible if the legislature so wished fort that body to pass laws providing for classification. As the legislature is notoriously conservative it would probably give the matter long study before acting and there would be amply , opportunity to'present arguments pro and and con. The Union believes it the duty bf every civic minded person to inform himself on this issue. It has no illusions that all will do this but it believes the minority which will so interest itself may have the balance of power and decide the issue.-' No tax­ ing system that will satisfy all will ever be secured but, in the opinion of the Union, that is no reason why Ohio, .progressive in most other matters, should not seek to better its antiquated system. —M'ami Union, .Troy, Ohio. Revised Lists of Trees Ai*e Issued Many Varieties Available From State Nursery To Renew Forests New isls of forest trees, which may be obtained from, the Ohio State For­ est Nufsery a t Marietta, are being compiled and issued in the offices of the state forester,' Edmund Seevest, and the Ohio ’State University exten­ sion forester, F. W. Dean, a t Wooster. SeetJIings and transplants obtained from the state nursery may be used only for reforestation work, and not for shade trees or ornamental plant­ ings. Blanks for ordering the trees may be obtained, with the. lists, from the offices of the two foresters. Seedlings of hardwood varieties such as black walnut, white ash, tulip poplar, red and white oak, black lo­ cust and catalpa, which can be plant­ ed this fall, are available at prices ranging from §3 to $5 a thousand. Evergreen varieties include red, white. Austrian, and Scotch pine, Norway spruce, and European larch. Dean suggests that orders, even for trees which are to be planted next spring, should be sent in as early as possible in order to obtain choice stock, and to avoid delay if the stocks are exhausted soon. «g==~ NEW WORLD’SNON-STOPRECORD ESTABLISHEDBYROOSEVELT8 (R a n made un d er official observation.

After these had come the school on Cedar street, and then the Old Grove School on Xenia Avepue, which had given place to the brick building on the same spot, On Sundays he had gone to the Methodist Church with the rest of his family. There had been several con­ gregations in the township. The first had been the Massies's Creek congre­ gation or Reformed Presbyterians by the Tarbox cemetery. The Baptists had been second, worshipping first east of town and then in the church now used as the colored Baptist church. Next had been the Methodists who had worshipped in the woods, barns, or log dwellings before they had built a frame building in the village, which in 1854 had been re­ placed by the brick one now used. Then there had been the Old Side Covenanters on Xenia Avenue, and lastly the United Presbyterians who had built their frame church in 1847 and the brick one on the same lot in 1888. So. the time had passed and in 1861 he had gone into the Civil War, proud that he had come from Cedarville Township, the township which had sent more soldiers, according to the population, than any other township in the state. After the war, he had Jived in Cedarville until 1899, when he had moved away. Now after 30 years of absence, he had come back to visit his home town once more. But could this be the same old Cedarville? He could scarcely believe it was. He thought he would like to drive about the village and see all the change^ which 30 years had brought, and also to think over the many changes which had taken place since he was a little lad. So he made him­ self known to a passer-by, whom he' found to be an old acquaintance and life-long resident of the town, and asked him if he would accompany him on his trip about the village, and tell him the many things he would want to know. His request was gladly granted. : L First they went down Xenia Ave. As his auto sped along, he thought bf the difference between it and the ox teams which used to haul the logs to the old Mitchell Mil), on the Wilming­ ton Pike, (where Mrs. Elizabeth Blair’s home stands) and how they were doing well if they went 2 miles an hour. He: saw the Old Grove School House,- of which the town had been so proud. He found it standing in the same place, but now no eager groups, of boys and girls went in and out its portals, but he was told that it was used only as a storehouse. How neg­ lected and deserted it looked, with window-panes broken put ..and weeds growing about its doors. The-paper mill, which130 years ago’ had been only seven years old, lie' found a thriving industry, the largest in the town,- employing as high as 75 men and sending out five or six thous­ and tons of paper in a year. How glad' the people had been when the mill had been brought to Cedarville and how much it had helped the town as it had grown larger and larger itself. The lime kiln certainly looked fami­ liar, and yet he was told that now the kiln belonged to a company called the Carter. Abel Co., Inc., and that instead of employing eight or nine men and shipping out 145 to 150 car-loads of lime a year, as had been done long ago, there are now employed about thirty men and twelve to fifteen hun­ dred car-loads of lime and- stone are sent out. He was much interested in the new process being used and spent some timq watching the mfen a t work. On they went past the Old Side Covenanter Church, which he found abandoned, as had been the old school house. Then, as they went farther, he saw the old flour mill, which he well re­ membered had been made out of an old saw mill. It too, he found deserted and unused. But when they came back to Main street, and the business section of the town, the greatest surprises awaited him. Thirty years ago, the Exchange Bank had been in the township house, and-the Harper Bank had been on the west side of Main street, in the room he now foimd occupied by the Farm­ er’s Co-operative Creamery. The library had also been in the township house, being in the lobby of the Ex­ change Bank. He found the bank was now housed in the spacious building on the opposite corner of the street, and was' told that this building had been erected in 1922 at a cost of over 50,000 dollars and that it was con- Special one-day Excursion TO ! 1$ COLUMBUS Account GatewayJubilee September 28 Tickets good Only on train 11:00 A.

JOHN A. HIRN “I had indigestion,” said Mr. John A. Him, 6734 Roe Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, “neuritis in the calves of my legs, my hearing was affected;' I had earache all the time and a catarrhal condition affected my general health seriously. As a result of all these ills I was practically a nervous wreck, without appetite and getting very little. I lost in weight and vitality, “The surprise that Konjola gave me is beyond description. I began to improve in every way within a week. At the end of three weeks every pain had left me; even the catarrhal condi­ tion was practically endde. I could write ithousands of words telling of my suffering, and then how Konjola banished my ills, one by one.” .Konjola is sold in Cedarville, Ohio at Prowant & Brown drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. W . sidered the finest in the state for a place of this size; There where the first store in Ce~ darviHe had been, and where, as a boy, he had bought candy so many times from Espy Mitchell, he found Thomas and Crouse carrying -on the grocery business. Thirty years ago, Robert Gray had had his grocery there. ' ... n■ He saw the name, Brown’s Drug Store, and it made him think of when he was a little boy and. of how he had gone with his mother into Frazier's Dry Goods Store, which had been there. Of course, later, a drug store had taken its place. He found Bird’s store- divided and Kroger’s grocery occupying half of- the room. He thought of the time when no' store had stood there, but only the home of Dr. Dilly, the lady doctor of the town, with next bo Mt, the tavern, and beyond that the tavern barn. Long ago the home had been tom down and the store built, the old tavern tom away, and the township house erected, and the tavern barn had given place to a row of modern business rooms. He saw the Blue Bird 'Tea-Room and remembered when there had been a drug store there. When he had gone away, C. M. Crouse had used that room and the one now occupied by Gordon and Son, for a large, hard­ ware store. As he passed Richard’s Drug Store, Jie thought of the grocery which had been there, a t one time owned by George W. Shroades. As he read the sign, Dr. Shick, he had a mental picture of old Dr. Win­ ters, and even farther hack than that when a wagon-maker’s shop had stood on the spot where Dr. Winters had later built his home. Judge Wright’s home reminded him of the' time when Mr. Gowdy had had a store and rooming house on that lot. He next saw the Presbyterian Church which had been completed three years after he had gone away. When he saw how nicely it was being redecorated, he could not help think-, ing of the difference between the mod<‘it churches of yesterday and the modem ones of today, Mrs. Murry’s home brought to mind the various places the postoffice had been. The first one had been where Mrs, Troute’s residence stands, in the home of John Paris. It had also been, for a time, in the house which he learned had been tom down by Dr. Leo Anderson. At another time, it had been where Mrs. Murry lives; and then "during the war, it had been in Espy Mitchell’s store, where Thomas and Crouse are. Still later, it had been where he now found the Cedar- ville Herald being printed, '(hen when the township house had been rebuilt, after the fire which had destroyed the first one, the postoffice had been taken there to remain. There where Mrs, Anna Wilson and Mr. James A, McMillan have their homes, had stood the old barracks, a big, white, brick house, standing just off the cobblestone pavement. At the top of the hill, he was again Reminded of h1s boyhood, for the building used as Little’s Grocery, had been the first frame house' built in Cedarville.. I t had been built by John Orr to he used as a cabinet shop, At first there had been only one story, !>Ut later another one had been added to it, and it had been one of the first groceries In town. Thirty years ago, Charles Gillnugh had had his grocery and dry-feoods store there, (Continued on last page) Richland County Man Makes Ton-Litter -and Pork Production Cluha ■ Even with 13 pigs sold from Ills | herd, H. H. Wolf of Shelby, Richland j County, has more than qualified for,* membership in the Ohio Pork Produe- [ tion Club sponsored by the Agricul-j tural Extension Service of the Ohio J State University. Requirements for membership in the club are that the total weight of all pigs farrowed in the owner’s herd within a given 40- day period be sufficient, when the pigs are 180 days old, to equal an average of one 1400-pound litter for each sow farrowing. Eight sows belonging to Wolf far­ rowed in the given period; Because tie misunderstood the rules of the game he sold 13 of the pigs when they were weanlings. However, when the rest were weighed at six months of age they were heavy enough to aver­ age 1076 pounds for each sow, includ­ ing those sows whose pigs had been sold and were not weighed. - Four litters which. Wolf fed to an age of six months weighed more than a ton each. Two others were close to the mark. This record entitles Wolf to membership, in the Pork Produc­ tion Club, and also to the highest classification in the Ohio Ton-Litter, Club, reserved for men who have pro­ duced three or more ton-litters in a single herd in a single season. Wolf will get medals and recognition for his activities a t the Farmers? Week program at the University next win­ ter. He is already a member of the, 1926 and 1927, Ton-Littei* Clubs. This year’s ton litters were fed corn, middlings, tankage, pig meal and milk, and ran on a 12-acre pas­ ture. I I F t .l.bH ■ n h i . Week End in Ch icago a t the COMFORTABLE GREAT NORTHERN te .
