CENTENNIAL OF
BUCKEYE STATE
Local Schools viii Observe the
Hundredth Birthday Of
Ohio--Want Citi-
xsns to Help.

Acting upon the formal request of
the centennial commission of Ohio,
the officials in the department of in
struction at school headquarters is
arranging for an elaborate celebration
Of the centennial of Ohio's admission
to the union. The celebration in Can
ton will be coincident with similar ex-
ercises to be held throughout the state.
A special committee has been at
work for several weeks arranging suit
able material for use in the schools
on the day Of the celebration. The
result of this work has been the publi-
cation Of the "Ohio Centennial Syl-
1abus, which is filled with information
concerning the state and set forth in a
most interesting manner. Copies Of
the syllabus have been received fIom
the state commissioner at school head
quarters. Copies will be placed in all
the buildings and will form the basis
of the selections as suggested.
The day promises TO be one Of the
most interesting of the school year
not only to the pupils, but to parents
and friends. 1t Is the intention to
trace the history of Ohio not alone
from the, days of the wilderness but
even back as far as the glacial period.
1t is hoped by officials at school head
quarters and teachers that the exercis-
es of the day will be productive of the
growth of patriotic sentiments.
Assisting the special committee In
the arrangements for the celebration
is the Ohio Archaeological & Historical
society.
- 1t is expected that citizens Of Can
will cooperate to make the event
entirely successful and in fact make
1t day of general celebration al
though the exercises will essentially
center around the schools Of the city.
In this direction 1t is probable that
patrons of the schools as well as the
children will be asked to participate
In the exercises.
1t is the intention to arrange the
programs SO that children of all ages
can participate with interest to them
selves and others. Among the young
er pupils special emphasis will be laid
upon persons and songs.
A special feature in the Canton cell
ebration will be a presentation OF To-
cal history. This will include a study
OF the history Of Stark county.

CAN'T AFFORD TO
GRANT INCREASE
Oraymen Say They VIII Sell
Out Before They viii Ac-
quiese to Teamsters'
Dema nds

A meeting of the draymen Of the
city was held at the residence of John
Cummins, OF 1928 East Ninth street,
Sunday afternoon to confer on the
question of granting the raise asked by
the teamsters. The new scale calls for
an advance Of $1.50 week, from 5000
to $12.
None of the draymen we're in favor
of granting the increase. They stated
that before they would pay 81 a day
to their drivers they would sell their
teams or use them only during the
busy season. I'VE can't afford to do
it," was the trend of opinion among
all the draymen present.
A joint meeting between the dray-
men and team drivers will be held
thursday night when it is expected
that the question of raise will be
finally settled.

POS|ES FOR OUR
own JUDGE HARTER
csrioine" 10 WiliIns TO Forget
And Forgive For His Sake
Banquet for Can
ton Mon.

Judge Henry w. Harter is receiv-
ing some very nice journalistic bou-
quets from the Carrollton papers. He
has been there two weeks holding
court. The Republican Standard says:
The story is going the rounds OF
the press that Judge Henry w. Har-
ter has refused to accept the increase
in salary Of $1,000 per annum voted
him by the late general assembly, and
also declined to accept free transporta-
ton from the railroad companies. He
claims the salary increase is unconsti-
tutional, and the acceptance of free
transportation by an official is wrong.
Well, this Is such rare instance OF
official virtue 1t deserves more than q
passing notice, and too many nice
things cannot be said Of Judge Harter
for his sterling integrity and his lofty
conceptions Of judicial purity. While
Stark county has at sundry times and
in divers manners lily treated her
smaller sister, little Caroline, all
should be forgiven on account Of the
Judge she gave u.s. To be Judge Ia
certainly great honor, but to honor
judgeship, as Judge Harter does, ia
honoring the people who honored him.
Long may he live, and may we have
more men like him.
II Stark county could furnish us any
senatorial timber as strong, straight
and sound as that she gave us when
furnishing Judge Harter there would
not be SO much objection to taking 1t
from her political lumber yard, but
she Is not equal to the occasion. Such
timber is scarce in Stark's political
forests.

Or. Allen.

DR.. G. B. Allen, jr., addressed a
large congregation at the First Bap-
tist church Sunday morning.
He discussed the text: Each man
buiIded the gate over against his own
house." Among other things he
urged that each man show his Chris
.tianity in his daily work, which, he
said, is far more Christ-like than mere
.lip-service and church going. He
showed conclusively that the man who
IL honest in business and attends to
It faithfully is more Of the Christian
than the one who always carries q
bible with him and Is full of texts
for which he has no practical appli-
cation.

TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER
WORK.

Any American girl is possibly, an |
probably, going to need to fall back
upon her own resources some time.
The ups and downs of fortune are too
certain, too conspicuous to need
pointing out. To bring up a girl with
out any training in a useful occupa-
tion Is not simply improvident ami
foolish, hut 1t Is wicked. Feminine
character needs independence to mal,c
and keep 1t sweet and perfect. The
darkest tragedies of life grow out of
the ignorance, helplessness and de-
pendence Of women. Courage,
training In work. independence of
character and self-reliance--these. with
high ideals of womanhood for inspira-
tion are what every girl needs. Only
through intelligent work can thu
highest character be attained, and tbo
growth of character is the whole pur-
pose OF this school which we call tho
worid."-February Woman's Home
