Governor White upon learning the situation named a committee to investigate and recommend where reductions should be made to reduce the cost to the state. The committee reports that $800,000 can be saved and the Governor has issued an executive order to department heads that these reductions be followed. If one can judge from re­ ports in Circulation and charges being made by one $rm against the other* business under the preceeding administration was not conducted along conservative lines or even in the interest of the public.. Favoritism seemed to have a more prominent place than consideration of quality of goods purchased or price paid. It has been freely charged that many state em­ ployees openly sold gasoline coupon books that had been pur­ chased by the state. Lack of busihess methods o f the past ad­ ministration no doubt opened the way for much dishonesty on the part o f numerous state employees. We have reached the point in state affairs when every branch of state government should have its financial structure reduced to bring about more economy. . - ‘ * PROHIBITION AND THE PRESS There are indications that Ohio will vote this fall under referendum for repeal of the state prohibition enforcement laws. That such is a possibility is proven by the fact prohibition leaders seem concerned and are endeavoring to revive sup­ porters of cause to more determined action. One o f the favorite charges against the moyement is that Ohio is greatly, influenced by the wet press. We offer no defense o f the editorial attitude of any newspaper supporting prohibition repeal. Most of the city papers are against prohibition because the great majority of the city population is against it. But why should.the news­ papers be criticized for their attitude alone? Two other agen­ cies have taken the same stand but little comment do we hear on these—the radio and the motion picture. The latter carries more appeal daily for prohibition repeal than all the city papers combined. ' * RALPH H.

No attack in war equals that. 1 William Wrigley, an able business man in a dozen different directions, will buy up to 100,000,000 pounds of cotton in the next eight months if the price does not rise above 12 cents a pound. At that price Mr. Wrigley will ac­ cept cotton- in payment for all of his shipments to the South. Mr. Wrigley says cotton is a good investment at 12 cents and is willing to lock up $12,000,000 worth of his company's resources in it and hold it indefinitely. Cotton keeps. President Hoover telegraphed the widow of Knute Rockne, “I know that every American grieves with you." A great teacher was' Rockne. He con­ vinced himself that his boys could win, convinced them that they could won. and they did win. Success depends on' transferring ideas from your own head into the heads o f‘ others. Many, old, with creaking joints, will ask, “How many teachers o f Latin and Greek, Sanskrit and higher mathe­ matics, how many preachers of the gospel, would have to die to attract half as. much attention as Knute Rockne now attracts, because he was the best teacher of football? READING THE FINANCIAL PAGES TODAY Probably more people are reading the market and financial pages of the press daily than was done the days when business Was in full bloom. More people have reason to watch the pro­ gress'of business today in the hope that better times are even closer than just around the comer. The fact that a number of prominent companies have had to pass their quarterly divi­ dends of course is certain proof that business the past quarter has not been as good as fast year. Other companies have had to reduce their dividends while some others have paid part of their dividends out of their surplus. This also does not indicate a healthy state of qffairs. . Wall street reports show stocks up one day and down the other indicating the bearish strength of the market. Bank clear­ ings compared with a year ago show a decided drop in most cities and this naturally reflects how manufacturers, whole­ salers and retailers stand. Farm prices are not changing much which is not at all encouraging yet farmers have comfort in knowing that every line of industry is about on the same basis. No Radical or quick change can be expected in any quarter. The country is in a “ picklement” and everyone should strive to rmave forward with caution and not bo mislead', by. glaring re­ ports. Conditions will improve in time as they have during oth­ er depressions or panics but no one can promise just when.

Easton is past and the parade of new hats and toggery tor the ladies ias faded into- the distant past, .Jq- day the Easter h it is a factory pro­ duct and few Ladies insist on the handmade style as was the custom years ago. With the change the old- time millinery .shop has passed and what a noted pltee it was back in the days of some thirty-five years ago. At that time the millinery shop was one1of the most important centers in every community, large or small. It was there the ladies found as, jpuchi pleasure in discussing social ' events as men did about the, stove in tin- barbershop. News' gathers always found many a good lead each week by visiting the millinery store, i t was there where the lateat news .alwayr' could be found. Contrasting with to­ day few towns eyen have a millinery shop for mass production in some 4>s-: tent city has given th e . ladies the latest styles they most desire.

Some o f these days when our middle aged be­ come grandparents we should not be surprised to know that rummy, poker and seven-up will be dusted off, given a new name and become all the rage among the best of that distant day, which cannot be far away in the fast moving age we live in. Every gen­ eration has its own problems and the pext will probably be doing some of the things frowned upon today.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., probably without knowing it, has dimished temporarily the income that grafters get from speakeasies. Having bought several blocks in the heart o f New York, he is tearing down old, abandoned residences, evicting speakeasies, as the farmer-evicts rats when he tears down an old barn. Many blocks in the heart o f New York offer-a refuge to bootleggers. Thirsty customers go through the basement doors under old-fashioned stone steps.

Mr. Hoover says the wage scale must be maintained, and it must, un­ less we want to shoot* prosperity to pieces entirely. It should be remem­ bered, however, that the value of wages depends on the cost of living. While the millinery shop is gone we still have the barber shop, but; what iB it today compared to thirty years .ago ? Today it is one of those hyphenated places rendering service in accordance with the demand o f the times for both men and women. With this change also came a change of subjects for discussion. Years Ugo great political events ,SuCh as“ free silver had the lead in barber shops along .with .baseball and a John L. Sullivan prize fight* On the news stand was a copy o f the Police Ga­ zette, which was forbidden young folks owing to the pictures that did not provide ankle length dresses. How different today is the view as we walk down any main street? The barbershop in thcfee days was the only Y. M. C. A. most towns could afford. It was the favorite gather­ ing place for the young athletes to show their strength in boxing or wrestling* What would the Smith barbershop look'like today with an Owens-Condon bout? It would: shock :he customers and probably un-nerve the proprietor Who at one time had his feet tangled in the electric fix­ tures while trying his hand at the art >f wrestling. The boys of yesterday have passed on to new fields o f en­ deavor while others ,have crossed the great divide and all that remains of the old time barbershop is a bit o f pleasant history,* other than a few of the antiques fhkt (still occupy the chairs and occasionally get in a re- minicient mood. A t that they were, the happy days and as far as we re­ call none were ever the worse for having spent, hit' day in the Old town >arbershop, , > EXECUTOR APPOINTED Frank M. Hazen has been named executor, o f the estate of Mary M. Hazen, deceased, in Probate Court, Bond is dispensed with under terms of the will. Prof. Carl Stejskal of Vienna dis­ covers a food pasta that can be rubbed into the skin, keeping a man alive in­ definitely without swallowing food. Of the new food, called “dinutron,” six ounces, rubbed into the skin is enough for one day. And you* can take a bath thirty minutes after the rubbing without losing its nourishing effects. This will discourage hunger strikes in prisons, make possible the feeding of insane patients who refuse to eat, and will be of .great value in certain surgical operations, when food cannot be administered. It is believed that dinutron will also be highly valuable in treatment of diabetic cases. Earl Musselman, twenty-two, stu­ dent at the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind, and blind from birth, can now see, thanks to surgery, and has taken his first look at the world. Bright flowers delight him and he finds intense pleasure in studying faces of companions whom he knew only by their voices. The young man says: “ 1 won't have to .guess at things any more." Perhaps we shall all say that when we awake on the other side of the grave and our eyeB are opened. Let us hope so. This period of wor­ ry would hardly be worth while if it were all. Two convicts confess that they start­ ed a fire that killed 32Q prisoners in the Ohio penitentiary a year ago. They wanted to keep the warden from build­ ing a new cell block for fellow prison ers, because they didn’t want to work on it. They may be convicted of murder in the first degree, and, in the language o f the criminals, they may “ bum” in the electric chair. In prison or out, the safety of many often depends on the moral character o f Oft&’dr two* Good news from Florida tells o f thd final and complete disappearance , o; the Florida fruit fly, which for awftili threatened the state's eitrus crops. The national quarantine has been off since a year ago last November. No signs o f the fly since July, 19*0. In the day* o f thirty years ago it was no unusual thing to have a comedy troup at the opera house for a week stand playing Some o f the old time favorite productions along with selling soap and urb medicines that would heal everything and harm nothing. It has just come to us that we have had more out-of-town entertainment com­ panies he’ i the past few weeks than for many years. During the war peri­ od no one had time to go to a show for that was too Slaw a process of spending money. This winter things have slowed up a bit and more people 3eem content to Temain at home. But the companies that came here thirty years ago seldom left town without some reason to remember the visit for many years. If it was a good show it went well but if the crowd did sot take weH to tha talent or the performance it was just too bad. More than one company rode into town only to walk out and on one or two occas­ ions not taking time to pick up the musical instruments. If it was a tent show in the summer time it was the signal for a big night in town. Cut­ ting the tentropes or giving the per­ forming horees a “ shot o f Carbon" usually brought down the tent on the “ house" and the horses cut unusual capers while the “ carbon" did its best.
