FIFTY-SEVENTH YEAR NO. 51 CEDARVILLE. OHIO, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 23,1034 PRICE, $ 1.50 A YEAR NEWSLETTER FROM STATE DEPARTMENTS CQLVMBUS. — During the past two weeks Secretary of State George S, Myers has been busy with various election contests and investigations resulting from the November 6th election. These activities run all the way from ruling on disputed ballots to the general investigation now under way in Cuyahoga County. 'When more than two million electors cast •their votes it is perhaps only natural that some would mark their ballots differently than prescribed by law. Ini the recent election one elector marked a circle within the circle at the head of the ticket. A few other electors seemed to think they had to make a good job o f it and put a cross mark in all the circles at the head o f the ballots. They perhaps wanted to get their money's worth but as a result their votes were not counted at all. Again, a few electors wanted to he humorous but by trying to write funny things on the ballot they too' lost their vote. The moral is, if you wish to take part in government follow the rule o f the law. The state legislature met this week in special adjourned session with the tax situation throughout Ohio more acute than ever before. As at other sessions, Governor White was expect­ ed to again ask for adoption of a sales tax slightly different in its pro­ visions from, previous plans, and also for re-enactment o f a liquid fuel tax for school aid. A considerable change o f sentiment by various state-wide organizations in favor of a sales tax has been boted, and this, added to the serious predicament many school dis­ tricts and -municipalities find them­ selves in because of the defeat of . special tax levy proposals, indicated that opposition to this form o f taxa­ tion would not be' as pronounced as before. However, at this writing there is no telling what the attitude o f the legislators themselves will be towards the plan, SCHOOL NEWS They Never Forget Citizenship Contest The Cedarville Chapter o f the D. A, R. is sponsoring a very fine Citizen­ ship Contest in Grades 1-12. The pupils o f all grades were asked to suggest qualities that make for good citizens. Many splendid ones have been suggested. At the next meeting of the Committee—Mrs. Galloway, Mrs. Cteswell, Mrs, Wright and Miss Randall—-the suggestions of the pupils will be discussed and the best ones chosen, typed and given to each pupil to carry out; A t the end pf the year very worth­ while prizes will be awarded to the best citizens. ’ More information as to the contest will be published later. High School Dance About two hundred students >and guests were present at the first local high school dance which was held in the high, school auditorium on Friday evening, November 16. The room was attractively decorat­ ed to resemble, the deck p f a ship. Music for the evening was furnished by Kenneth Little's orchestra. During the intermission light refreshments were served and Mr. Reed, accom­ panied by Mrs. Jacobs, entertained the grpup with a song.

G. Southard, state director of health, this week. The director em­ phasizes this statement because science haB revealed that there are myriads o f living plants and animals, called germs or micro-organisms, that cannot be seen by.unaided eye and that one of the germs may easily consist o f infectious material capable o f conveying tetanous or other dangerous disease. Hence it is, that cleanliness is next to health safety.

CONSUMERS TOO MUSTPAYTHREE CENT SALES TAX Ohio is headed for sales tax, earn­ ed income tax and an increase Of util­ ity taxes if the legislature adopts a program offered Tuesday by Gover­ nor White. He says the state must have at least $75*000,000 more tax ' revenue and estimates a 3 per cent aales tax will produce $60*000,000, Others who are familiar with the re­ tail business in Ohio say a thref per cent tax will, produce at least a .100 million dollars. In view of, the fact that Gov. White has offered no means for reducing the cost of government and has created and placed more poli­ ticians on the state pay roll than any half dozen former governors* .there is nothing to do but provide for ad­ ditional revenue. ■ The proposed ,sales tax bill providea that all articles that sell for more than nine cents and less than 40 cents, the tax is to to one cent. Articles that sell for more than 40 cents, and less than 70 cents the tax -wOl be two cents. I f the retail sale price i* more' than 70 cents and not more, than-one dollar the tax will be three cents. Sales over one dollar' will .be 3; cents on each dollar and the.one-two?three scale applying to fractions o f the dollar. • Goods purchased by the ' state' or political subdivisions will not to sub­ ject to any tax. Farm products are exempt whep sold by the producer on his farm, or farm he operates, and retail outlet is located on such farm. No. tax on gasoline or motor vehicle fuel,-cigarettes, brewer's malt, beer, wine and liquor, gas, electricity and water. Business houses or individuals, venders, etc.,' must- purchase stamps from the county treasurer, and defacs and attach proper amount on each parcel before purchaser, who is com­ pelled to pay the tax and which can­ not be absorbed by seller.

It is the purpose o f the ocal churches to sponsor the hour o f 2:80 to 8:80 P. M* as a special hour o f prayer. This meeting will be held in the Presbyterian Church, “Prayer is the expression o f the inner-state o f the soul in which we pour out oUr thoughts and feelings, desires and aspirations unto God.” * It is not a kind o f magic by which we can compel God to do as we desire* but 'there is every reason to belleve that it is an open channel through which our desires reach'Him. It is only after the “ soul’s sincere desire” hat reached God that He can more fully end helpfully reach us. No period ht our nation’s history has had tho same possibilities for prayer as this day presents. “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord Our maker.” COMPROMISES APPROVED Judge Gowdy in Common Pleas Court*Wednesday* approved the com- premiSH offered the State Bank De­ partment on claims of The Exchanger Bank against three directors* Rtoert Elder, If* & Marsh, Eotntoi Smith,
