Often it is o f more significance to yon, CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY AUGUST 4,1933 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR CHICAGOSHOW WORTHWHILE EXHIBITION The Century of Progress Exposi­ tion in Chicago is the biggest event over planned in this or any other country. Measuring it by the Hoover standard, it could not he any better unless it was bigger. Some five hun­ dred “acres of lake shore front cover­ ing more than three and a half miles' in length gives one some little idea of the extent of the grounds. Great wide spaces with beautiful landscap­ ing surround the exposition buildings, some of which have two and three acres of floor space. The walks are of the asphalt macadam type and most o f them lined with thousands of comfortable benches where the weary can stop find rest themselves. Chicago has within the past few years received a lot of unfavorable publicity but like other cosmopolitan towns much can happen that is dis­ tasteful to their citizens as to the country at large. You can find most anything you are looking for in Chi­ cago or any other large city, A lot of undesirable things can be found in our smallest towns if you wish to look for them. For that reason because A1 Capone came from Chicago is .no reason to think of that city as the worst spot in the world. the most striking when showered with electric lights which are all conceal- j ed from public view. It is claimed j that more electric current is used each twenty-four hours to decorate' the buildings than was ever used at any event in the history pf the coun try. From the lake the exposition grounds at night form -a colorful picture, once seen, can hardly be de­ scribed, and will neyer be forgotten. It has been truthfully said that a man with one good eye could see all the big exposition but to cover much of the acres of the exposition grounds in one day you needed an extra pair of good feet. If inclined you could ride in the wheeled chair with the college student as motive power, either on the grounds or in build­ ings at one dollar an hour. It was.a striking resemblance to see a young couple riding about tKe show with an old couple hobbling along as best they could. The 'difference was probably the dollar an hour. a General Merchant ID The Century of Progress Exposition is a private venture backed by the business interests and public spirited citizens of . Chicago. It has no federal, state or city financial back­ ing. Both the federal and state governments have made financial ap­ propriations for buildings and dis­ plays but this has been customary in all such events and it must be approv­ ed by the public. However the ex­ position management forced nothing on the states. As had been said the Exposition is a university course. You could make it just what you wished. I f you .at­ tended it purely for amusement, there was plenty, of that.' If you wanted to see what science has done for in­ dustry it was there. If' you wanted to know about the new things, for the home you. could find them* i f you wanted to know what had been done the past century in the field of religion, you could get what you were looking for. If you wanted to know what was being done for the human race by surgery, the Mayo Brothers Institute informed you. If you want­ ed to know about the stars and dif­ ferent planets and their relation to the sun and moon you could find more astrology in thirty minutes at the Adler planitarium than you could get out‘o f a text hook in a year. The buildings and grounds were * well policed and the attendants very courteous to visitors,1 Out of a crowd of more than 150,000 where people came from most every state in the union, you would not he surprised to see disorderly conduct some time. Covering a period of four days we saw no signs of disorder, not even the mis­ use of the amber fluid that could be ' purchased at scores o f places on the grounds, though this statement might not be in accord with the experience of others. But even this brief review was not all for there was the latest in farm machinery. Dairy 'products. Poul­ try raising. As to transportation you could see the latest in railway coaches in comparison' with what our grand­ fathers used in their day. You could witness automobiles being built, as­ sembled and painted ready for de­ livery. The same with automobile tires and oils and lubricants. The horticulture and floriculture exhibit was the greatest ever assembled. There you could see five acres o f all kinds and varieties of flowers being grown in well arranged gardens. In addition tropical plants from far and wide. There is much worthwhile amuse­ ment from the 628 foot observation towers, equal to a 64 story building in height; to band concerts, sport contests. It is said that some 65 different exhibition buildings were free to the public, Then you could take in the Ripley exhibit, Belgian Village, Chinese and Jap exhibits a- long with many others where small fees were charged, On the Midway you could find anything you wanted, some worthwhile, others more or less on the snide order, but you were left to use your own judgment as to what you wanted to see. The old World’s Fair in 1893 had its Midway Where the eccentric dancers were first introduced in America and the Streets Of Paris provided amusement for those who Wanted to see all the show this year. The outstanding feature of the ex- osition is the electrical display. The ;dison incandescent lamp had just ome into Use back in 1893 and it was redited with adding much to the World’s Fair in those days. Now it is oOd lighting With color effects and he use of the Neon electrical tube ghting which can be made any color r combination o f colors desired, The uildings are all o f the modernistic rend and have no windows. They *e o f steel construction and mostly reproof. While the architecture is nique and in the trend o f the times, ; is odd. During the day the build- ige do hot stand out as strikingly s at night, They have been painted dth colors that will blend best and As to transportation to and from the grounds probably no city in the country could have. excelled in the care of its visitors. With commutor trains, double decked busses, street cars and taxi service, the great crowds were handled quickly and convenient­ ly. In addition there were scores of parking places for thousands o f auto­ mobiles in and off the grounds at low {'Grange daily rates. The different gates open­ ing in most places to the broad Michi­ gan avenue made it possible for easy access to the grounds in your own motor ca r..

Wonderful Rain Fell Wednesday This section o f the state was visited by a generous rain Wednesday that quickly filled ditches and soaked the ground to a good depth. The rain was welcomed for crops and grass nnd came without any windstorm. It will do much to guarantee a good corn crop as well as for soy beans and garden vegetables. Late potatoes also will be aided by the rain. While the rain was welcomed it was unfortunate for the Greene county fair now in progress. The fair grounds were soaked Wednesday and races had to be called off. It is not likely that races will be attempt­ ed even Thursday. Sleeping Man Target While In Bed Sheriff John Baughn and deputies have been busy investigating an at­ tempt to murder Patrick Finn, 42, World War Veteran, Yellow Springs, while he was asleep in bed at two o’clock Wednesday morning. Some­ one fired a revolver through the win­ dow screen but the bullet passed over liis body and imbedded itself in the wall. W. J. Moylan, 45, same place, is being held for questioning by the officials. A revolver was found in his homo with one chamber empty. Ac­ cording to officials Finn and Moylan were enemies, although the latter denies having any part in the affair. Buyers Wanted For Bank Fixtures Application has been filed in Com­ mon Pleas Court by I. J. Fulton state bank superintendent, in charge of the liquidation of The Exchange Bank, asking permission to sell for the best prices obtainable, at either private or public sale, the furniture and fixtures of the institution. DRUGGIST MUST COLLECT NEW TAX ON COSMETICS the president, of his company over the terms o f the code for the oil in­ dustry. His salary with the oil com­ pany was $100,000 a year. Now he is to serve Uncle Sam for.nothing on a board that will have much to say as to how the oil industry must operate. County Treasurer Harold Van Pelt states that the collection of taxes in the county for the June period was 81 per cent. The collection was plac­ ed at $340,000, or about $85,000 short of what it should have been. Subscribe for the Herald,- The new state law o f ten per cent on all cosmetics is keeping druggists busy listing several hundred items that will call for the tax which is to be collected from the purchaser. Stamps are purchased by the drug- j gists from the county treasurer and must be attached Wheh the sale is made. », COURTHOUSE CLOSED All offices in the county courthouse are closed oft Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons fo r the Greene 1County Fair. CODERULESNOT YET COMPLETED Only a few local business houses have signed up and. displayed the “Blue Eagle” under President Roose­ velt’s proclamation. It has not been the intention of local business men to ignore the patriotic request but the codes for different lines o f business have not been completed and ap­ proved at headquarters in Washing- ton. The Hagar Straw Board and Paper Co., started on a four shift plan of six hours each Monday, but according to J. Lloyd Confarr, there may yet be another change when the Code - for paper mill manufactures la approved. ‘ MeetmgshaVe been* held rrr varibus places trying to iron out differences with the various groups. The grocery and meat stores here have not adopt­ ed any plan, awaiting the adoption of a trade code-which has not been an­ nounced. However all the stores are closing at six o’clock each evening and will for this week remain open on Saturday night as usual. It is ex­ pected that the code will be adopted within a few days for food stores that will set time for food stores that that will set time for opening and closing with'probably a 56-hour week. The code for the printing industry and newspapers is in the stage of formation and may provide different classifications but has not yet been submitted to Washington for ap­ proval. The barbershops are closing at seven o’clock during the week and nine o’clock on Saturday nights. Wed­ nesday afternoons all shops are closed. Different cities have different codes but the total working hours are the same. In Chicago stores open at nine- thirty each morning. For the pre­ sent Dayton stores are closed all day Wednesday. In Xenin and Spring- field stores are closed Wednesday afternoons. It will probably be two weeks yet before codes for all lines of business will be approved by the authorities in Washington. New Harvester On Market A new typi ■>f combined harvester thresher has been announced by the Allis-Chalmers, Manufacturing Co., of Milwaukee, The new machine will sell for less than half the price of previous ma­ chines designed to do the same work. The machine is mounted on pneu­ matic tires, and travels twice the usual speed, and can be built pro­ portionately smaller at a lower cost. The machine is known as the corn belt combine, because it is especially designed for us on small and medium sized farms.

The suit was filed by Attorney W. S. Paxon and Fro tie L. Moyer, own­ ers of two tracts of Jamestown prop­ erty, who charge that more than enough money to pay off and retire all bonds issued for the improvement has been assessed and collected from property owners fronting the street and that additional special assess­ ments are unnecessary. The plaintiffs assert in their peti­ tion that the 1932 tax assessment on their property was paid, except $9.73 for the last half, but that the treas­ urer has refused to accept this sum without payment of $24.32 additional, claimed to be due.

NEWSLETTER FROMSTATE DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS,-Twenty-three beau­ tiful banners were to be presented high school vocational agricultural students at the annual conference o f high school teachers in these branches at Wooster this week, it ’was announc­ ed at the State Department of Edu­ cation. The conference met Tuesday to adjourn Friday, with prominent educators and agriculturists of. the state as principal speakers. The 23 students receiving the banners were successful in judging contests held at Ohio State University June 2 and 3 in which 1200 student* from schools enrolling farm boys participated. Only three schools in the state re­ ceived more than one banner, and none more than two. The latter .were Grove City, Franklin County, one first in milk judging and one fifth in stock judging; Newton township High school, Miami county,- one first in judging crops and one second in judg­ ing crops and one second in judging live stock; Dalton, Wayne county, one second in judging farm crops and one second in dairy crops. The banners were furnished by the Ohio Bankers’ Association, the Ohio Wool Growers’ Co-operative Association, the Ohio Milk Distributors’ Association, and the Ohio Accredited HatcherieB.

Clarke, State Librarian been able by some magical power to erect a monster mechanical crane mid­ way between High and Front streets, and have it lift the 450,000 volumes in the state library from the top o f the 75-year-old State House, swing them over to the 1933 State Office building, and deposit them on the eleventh and thirteenth floors of the latter struct­ ure, the prodigious task of moving this ancient state institution would have been immeasurably reduced. Aa it is, Mr, Clarke had to enlist the services of a moving contractor and a number of honor prisoners to join the regular force of .the library to move the vast quantity of books to the new and’ more attractive quarters during July and August. Many hun­ dreds of wooden boxes were required to convey the books to their new home. Packing of the many volumes was practically completed by the end of last week, and the moving follow­ ed. The traveling library of 110,000 volumes had already been moved. The general public little suspected, appar­ ently, that hidden in the topmost rooths of the State House there were thousands of books, hundreds of them almost twice as old as the building itself. Fifteen rooms were used in the State House for the library, the last and highest one in the pinnacle of the >’ucture being the Ohio room, The oldest hook in the library is dat­ ed 1561, Works of especial value in the library are first editions and Bibles printed in the sixteenth century. Having accepted the responsibility of organizing and directing the new minimum.wage board of the stale, Mrs. Josephine McGowan o f Canton took charge of this division this week. She first went to New York to learn the plan of operation in that state, which was used as a model for Ohio’s law, Mrs. McGowan expects to have quarters on the seventh floor of the State Office building. The new state milk commission will also meet in one of the rooms in the Department o f Agriculture.
