Some o f this money is coming in now, but the large payments will not come until about the time of the dead-line date. The next large source o f income by the state will be avail­ able the middle of August, when the second half o f the taxes paid by in­ surance companies will be due.

NEW TR IAL REFUSED A supplemented motion for a new trial for the McClain Catterlin, 56, Brazil, Ind., ancient estates promoter, was overruled by Common Pleas Judge R. L. Gowdy Tuesday. Catterlin was convicted May 4, of an indictment charging violations of the Ohio securities act, and was fined $2000 and sentenced to five years in the Ohio penitentiary. A t that time a new trial motion was overruled.

OHIO LEGISLATURE VOTES $100,000 FOR ENFORCEMENT The manner, in which public funds are worse than wasted is shown by the manner in which the Ohio legis­ lature this week passed the appropria­ tion, bill providing $100,000 for pro­ hibition enforcement this year and the same amount for next. Legalizing beer and increasing the amount o f whiskey that can be pre­ scribed by physicians from one half pint to a pint hardly calls for such a sum for prohibition enforcement, both state and national is a farce and nothing but a place to pension poli­ ticians. For that reason there should be no funds provided for any kind of liquor enforcement under existing conditions. MRS.

In addition a number of others were injured and the flock demoralized. The 25 head killed were the best ewes, heavy, in weight that could not put up a fight. It is said that many stray dogs are roaming in. town and township and others that have no license tags. Dogs even with tags roam about town at night when under the law this is forbidden and owners are personally responsible for damage. Here is a chance for the County Dog Catcher. He can spend a week in this vicinity. There are hundreds of dog owners in the county that have not taken out the license for this year. Sheep claims are paid from this fund and unless more dog owners se­ cure tags the price next year will be increased to provide funds for paying sheep claims. I f you know o f a dog that has no tag call the County Auditor or the County Commissioners. Fred H. Shew Is N ew Superintendent Mr. Fred H.
