This- is in accordance with Section 6309 of the general code, and in com­ pliance with Section 6309.-2 (2) this amount has been credited1to the five per cent fund which is distributed equally to the *88 counties 61the state. Reports from the headquarters of the committee sponsoring the refer­ endum seeking to set aside jthe house bills providing for the transfer o f the. motor vehicle registration department to the state highway director and for the establishment of a state highway police are that a widespread inerest is indicated by the return o f a large number of fully signed petitions from both rural and industrial sections of the state. Democratic and Republican party leaders are taking an active in­ terest in circulating petitions in order that the general electorate o f Ohio may pass upon these legislative acts which were not mentioned in last fall’s political campaign. The referendum, committee is urging all circulators to make their final returns by the first week in June.

John Turner, Jr. estate: gross value, $3,100; liabilities, $1,860; net value, $1,244. , . . „ George Cbedister estate: grots value, $378.05; liabilities, $382.20; net value, nothing. Maud L.

ORDER PRIVATE SALE Private qale of personal property belonging to'the estate of Hi R. Haw­ kins, deceased, for not less than the appraised value o f $421.50, has been authorized in Probate Court. The voters of the state may have four other referendum^ before them next November in addition ta the one on House Bills 270 and 271. One of these promises to be on the county home rule proposal and another may be on the old-age pension measure. Still another undoubtedly will be on the Mosier act to protest against the manner of holding a state convention on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment to the federal constitution. The other one will be on the Smolka McCrystal resolution on repealing the prohibition section of the state con­ stitution. . This has been initiated by the general assembly. The Anti Saloon League of Ohio, which is managing the referendum campaign on the Mosier act, is, confident that the necessary number o f Signatures will be obtained. Circulators have in structions to return the signed peti­ tions not later than June 1. Objec­ tions are being raised informally to the Mosier referendum on the grounds that inasmuch as a fundamental right is conferred upon the state legislature by the federal Constitution which gives the general assembly the power to ratify or reject an amendment to that same constitution, this act o f the general assembly cannot properly he submitted to the people. The Anti- Saloon league leaders answer this con­ tention by saying that the referendum will not be on the eighteenth amend­ ment itself but as a protest against the manner of calling the state con­ vention. It is charged principally that the convention under the pro­ posed set-up of 52 delegates elected at large will not be truly representa­ tive of the state. Objection is also made to the plan of nominating three sets of delegates, the claim being made that under this plan the wets can control the delegate nominations. $1,50 Crazy Crystals—$1.38 Week End Special at Brown's Drugs 50c White Pine Cough 8yrup-39e Week End Special a t Brown's Drugs A number of local people gathered at the railroad station Monday night about ten o'clock to get a glimpse of the fast English train known as the "Royal Scot,” which is to be exhibited at the Century of Progress in Chi­ cago.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY On Wednesday evening, May 31, 1933, ■ the senior, clgps. o f Cedarville College ,will present ".Grumpy" a four act mystery play, by Horace Hodges and Wignqy Percival, at the Cedar­ ville Opera House. This is the celebrated play in which Cyril Maude originated the part o f an apparently half senile old man .with a crusty exterior, but a wonderfully kindly nature and the keen wit and indomitable courage of a Sherlock Holmes. “ Grumpy” is«a distinct novelty, and a rare treat. It is a sure cure for the blues generally and for grumpiness particularly. The New York Herald said: “Grumpy is delightful. Too see it is to enjoy one of the best things in the theatre." It was orginally produced at the Theatre Royal, Glasglow, and after­ wards played at the New Theatre, London, with Cyril Maude iq the title role. The leading role of "Grumpy” will be played by Clyde Hutchison. The remainder o f the cast includes: Rdbert Richards,’ Viola Harbaugh, Doris Swaby, Preston Garlough, Florence McLaughlin, Joseph Free, Willis Gormley, Charles Spencer, Charles Best, Edgar Brigner, and Herman Scott, SELMA MUSICAL RECITAL GAS TAX SHARE $172,218 benefits derived, they shall make an feating Wilmington College by the adjustment, narrow margin of 5 to 4 on the Cedar- lf, after having retired bonds and made necessary adjustments, any fund is remaining, it shall be appro- ____ printed for the purpose of improving; G Co/s s}iare from gasoline unimproved publ.c highways m t h e ^ md auto licens0 fe<jg wl„ bc county. ___________ __ j$172,218 this year the state highway C H A N f is V DATE FOR „Uotcd the AND OI I ICEItS MEETING county> the 12 townships an(1 mnnU ~ „ ,,, , eipalities and represented a reduction Ihe. annual mooting for 4-II Club . , n „ , .___ , . _____. , , , „ , . . .
