It was 10 years ago when Creswell well at the-age of 71 faced the option of changing his farming methods or retiring in. conventional fashion to the near-by village of Cedarville. He re­ flected that in moving to town he would lose much interest in living. To stay on the farm and farm in the usual manner meant too much work for a man of his age if he tried to do the. Work alone. Hiring labor to op­ erate the farm -might entlal a loss. At the best it meant a greatly de creased income* * Renting the farm would not bring in The somewhat weighty problem of how to collect an estimated *200,- 000,000 in delinquent Ohio Teal estate taxes will be the subject of study by a special commission created by the legislature.

Mrs. Johnson was proceeding north on Main street and according to eye­ witnesses,' had stopped her car near the crossing and then droye on the crossing unmindful of the approaching fast express. The auto was knocked against a freight engine standing near, Mrs. Johnson’s body being thrown clear of the wreckage. Death was instant. ^ , Frank Creswell and Paul Cummings, as well as several others, including James Jones* crossing watchman, were eye-witnesses. I t is the general be­ lief that Mrs, Johnson became confus­ ed over the signals o f the witnesses in .that they applied to the Standing engine. However it was the approach­ ing express on another track tha t war­ ranted the danger signals.
