He spent some time visiting the: Methodist Church, where he had gone every Sunday he had been in Gedar- ville. He found a new addition lmd men added to it. t^Jiere the old en­ trance had been,' was now the pulpit and the littje reed organ, tha t had stood on the old pulpit, where the folding doors now are,.had’'given place to a pipe organ a good many years ago, The recent changes made in the U, P. Church, made it look quite different to him, also. He saw the loyely library, donated to the town by Carnegie, in 1907 and he thought of the time when the library had been a struggling one, taken to various places, among them being the room over the Service Hard­ ware Store. He thought, too, of when the first tavern in town, a large, double, log house, owned by Mr. Mill­ er’, had'stood where the library is. As he passed' Mr. Walter Iliff’s homefi he remembered the~brick kiln which had stood just back of it, where Mr. -Aden Barlow lives. There hud been another one where' Mr. Boase lives and .'Still another one where Mr. Pearl Huffman resides. He saw the modern school building, erected in 1917, at a cost of about 80,000 dollars; and when he saw how well it--was equipped, his heart re­ joiced th a t the youth of today have advantages which he never had,. The new Science Building and the increased number of students and teachers, were evidences of the growth which the college had made, during the years. The North Cemetery looked almost like a different one to him, with its Harper Mauseleum, new gateway and drive, ahd its Soldiers Monument. Coding-back, as he turned the cornei? to go down Chillicothe street, he thought of the time when a little, one-room office, belonging to old Dr. Stewart, had stood bn the corner where Mr. Henry Smith’s home stands.- From there the old doctor had gone along a little path to his home which, stood where Dr. Elias lives. How well he remembered those men7 old Dr. Stewart, H ram Cline, the postmaster, and Mr. Osborn, the esquire ahd old Dr. Winters, going about the streets with their big shawls about their shoulders instead- of with overcoats as men wear today. Going past the home of Mr. James Barlow, he was reminded of the time whep the fron t room of the house had been, used as a church, before the churches on the present sites had been built, , As he went down the lime-kiln rohd towards Pittsburg, a number of things came .to his .mind. Just below the dump which was not a dump a t that time, but la beautiful cedar grove had been the Wesley Iliff lime kiln, Mr Jliff having been the first man in the village to burn lime. Then across the road, just back of what had later been the old cheese factory and wlmt we today know as the ceqfent factory, had been-the kiln owned by John Orr. And on down by the .railroad culbert had stood a flour mill. Cpming back, he passed the home of Mr. Elsworth Lowry, and thought of the time when. Geo. W. Shrqades had had a lime kiln just back of where the old, electric light plant stands. •„ As lie went down South Main street, he remembered the one hotel that hud been in Cedarville a t the time he had gone away. I t had been called the Cliff House. He learned that it had first been turned into a moving pic­ ture theatre and then into an auto sales room, Of course he no longer expected .to find the livery stables of Heckling, Boyd and Murdock, since the auto has long since taken the place of the horse. He thought of the old "Con’' Sweeney saloon which had stood just across the railroad tracks from Mrs. Kate Townsley’a restaurant. How much bettei it was with all the old saloons gone and the better things to takjg, their places. There had been other changes, too. During his absence the housewife had ceased to cook on a wood or coal range, for since 1905, gas had been furnished to those of the village wish­ ing to use it, When he had left tthe town, there had been no paved streets, but now he found all of the Main street paved, and the other streets well improved. He found cement walks everywhere, j He well remembered how the streets i had been lighted with coal-oil lights, j and how the lamp-lighter had gone I around each night with his’ladder and : torch; and had climbed up to light the ’’street lamps. Now lie ffluhd streets, . stores, and residences alike, all ilium* i inated with gas,* electricity, or with both. I i So on he went, noting the changes I which time had wrought, and at the ' end of the* trip about the to\vn, lie thanked the life-long resident who had accompanied him and said, “The poet has said, Backward, turn hack- ward, oh time in your flight; but I should (not wish the time to turn back- ward. I am glad I have lived to visit my home town once more and to see that the little village which was «i first so very unpretentious, has now become a thriving, little town of whom all its inhabitants may well be proud I am glad you have your nice store-' your paved streets, your good w-booL you, college, and your churches; and my wish for CWarrillu is that her citizens may ever work to make her the best town that din possibly be made." Then the old man hade his friend good-bye and drove away, leaving forever the village that had been his birthplace, and the birthplace of many <thor nobler men and women. HENRY SMITH AND * WIFE DEAD AFTER MOTOR CRASH <Continued from jingo i) and sisters; Calvin Curs, Romney, W. \’u.; Cora B. Ours, Elkins7“W. Va.; A, S. Ours, Oakland, Md„ and Guy Ours, Oklahoma City, The funeral for Mr. Smith was held Monday from the. First Presbyterian church, the service being conducted by bis pastor, Dr. Harriman, assisted by Rev. Gunnett, Rev, Jamieson and Dr. McChesney. The body was he’d in Xenia following word of the dental of Mrs. Smith, whose funeral took place from the same chure)i Wednes­ day afternoon, Both bodies were taken to Reeves Mills, W, V;r„ for burial on. the family lot. . The drive was made'to Chilli- cothe where passage was taken by train. Accompanying Miss Mary Smith were many of her relatives from the former home of her parents, as well as a few friends and neighbors in Cedarville. Both young Hartman and Ilenrisr acepmpanied by the former’s mother intended the funeral of Mr, Smith. Tlie authorities h'uvc not as yet fixed the responsibility for the accident. RESOLUTIONS Whereas:—In the Providence of God, our Brother, Henry Smith, has been called by the Great Angei that shall call each of us from this imper­ fect to that All-perfect, Glorious and Celestial Lodge above, over which the Great Architect of the universe. pre­ sides, and Whereas;—He shall be missed as a true and faithful brother among us, whose wisdom ,and council was sought and fully used by the Brotherhood, Be it Resolved:—That w.e have lost a real Brother, and extend our sym­ pathy to bis daughter and relatives. Be it further Resolved:—That a copy.. of these resolutions be spread upon our records, a copy given the local-paper, and a copy sent to the bereaved loved ones. . Cedarville Lodge No, 022, F. & A. M. J. D. Mott, A. E.” Richards ..and Roger Stormont, Committee, LETTER TO THE EDITOR valuation higher. The best the amend­ ment offers is a promise of fixed tax rate on real estate so fa r as public officials ore concerned. The valuation plan is not fixed. There is no protec­ tion against increased levies \fy a vote of the people. To be plain Palmer, Lincoln and Dyer are simply trying to fool the rural people in the interest of those interested in finances, stocks, bonds, loans, credits, etc,'' I t will be a sorry day for the home and farm owners if this plan is adopted and I would like to have the Herald editorial column speak as plainly on this sub­ ject as other subjects of public inter­ est. Greene county voted more than two to one .against classification the last time. Let’s not be deceived by turncoat farm leaders and down it again. Independent Farmer. State Supervisor Attends Meeting J, P. Schmitt, stale supervisor of farmers’ institutes, met with institute officers and rural), community leaders of Greene county, in an institute planning, conference in the courthouse, assembly room ’Tuesday morning. State aid institutes will be conduct­ ed the coming season at Bowersville, Bellbrook, Spring Valley and Caesar- ereek township.

La Grange Girls Win Chicago Trip Represent Ohio In Clothing -Demonstrations At 4-H . National Congress To the Editor:;— I read your editorials in the last issue with much interest and might any that seldom 'do I fail to read your editorial column, I have always ad­ mired your frankness in dealing with public questions and things political but must say th a t you have not made your position very clear on the pro­ posed tax amendment for classifica­ tion. I t must be admitted that the high salaried farm bureau arid grange leaders have turned right- aout face on this issue. I wonder how men of such standing can appear before the public in view o f their 'speeches made againht classification the last time it was voted upon. They only represent their -own views and now that their high salaries have enabled them to-be­ come financiers they have no more interest in the farm and home owner. One thing is certain they do not rep­ resent the /great majority of,.farmers' or the little handful of farm bureau members, which I am told has drop­ ped to about 30,000 in the state, less than half what it has been in the past. The proposed tax limitation of one and one half mills on real estate is the joke these farm leaders are trying to force the rural people to swallow to cover up the real object, a low rate on money, securities, credits, etc. The amendment makes no provision that additional levies cannot be voted upon the people. Here is where the limita­ tion will not apply but will moneys be subject to the additional tax so voted by the people for needed improve­ ments, Is It not the purpose of those sponsoring this ainondr.it nt to have a fixed rate for money and then let real estate in the towns and cities carry the loiid along with farm Pmd. You, can, canvass tlu^ stale and so far as I have been able to learn few farmers are sponsoring this amend- /nont. The campaign is in the hands of financial interests that expect to profit by the change/* I t has not been farmers who have contributed the $50,000 campaign fund unless Palmer, Lincoln and Dyer r e sharing ihoir five figure salaries. The funds of coiirsd have been paid by interests expecting certain protection. Talking about the century old tax system Ohio bits in no argument. What the people should know is what hotter system have the proponents to offer. Once we had the one per cent tax law, I t was soon increased after promising, a low iax rate on higher valuation,* Now we have lax rate and Two Lorain Gqjrnty girls will have a free trip to Chicago this winter as a result of their work in 4-H clothing* dubs during the past season. If they' are fortunate in Chicago, they may even go to Paris in 1930 as' the guests of a Chicago mail order concern. The girls are Agnes Bonga and Ro'salih Adams, both of .La Grange, members of a 4-II cjothing club led by Mrs. S ,. M. Heath of the same community. The two girls formed a clothing demonstration team* which represented the county a t the Ohio State Fair. They have been awai’ded the state championship in clothing demonstration work among the coun­ ties which were qualified according to the rules-laid down by the concern awarding the Chicago trip. - The visit to Chicago will be for the purpose of attending the National 4-H Club Congress there .November 29 to December {>.
