Wants Printing Bill Cut.

Representative Schurr of Madison
county, who introduced bill to allow
state institutions to buy oleo when
the price of butter is sky high, has
another scheme to save the state
more money. He will prepare bill
to cut in half the number of reports
printed and issued by the various
state departments. For instance,
10000 copies of the state school COM
missioners' annual report is printed,
bound and distributed and he pro-
poses to reduce the number to 5000
This will result in big saving in
the bill for paper, printing and ship
ping of the reports. Schurr wants
to cut down the number of reports
issued by all departments in about the
same proportion. Most of these re-
ports contain very little but dry sta
tistics and there is little demand for
them.

VETS AND ''DRYS"
CL|NCH IN BATTLE
LIQUOR FoRcEs INVADING LOST
TERRITORY TO REGAIN FOR
MER FooTHoLo.
SALOONS FIGHT STRENU0USLY
, Anti-SaIoon People Are Kept Busy
\ Parrying Blows of Their Foes
Other News of Interest About
the State Capitol.

Columbus O.-For once the "wets"
have the "drys" on the run. The
anti-liquor people have their eyes
peeled in every city watching the lat
est scheme of their ancient enemies.
So far they have been able to pre-
vent scoring, but a blow may be
slipped through their guard at any
time.
Saloon men are making strenuous
efforts to capture city residence dis
tricts, lost by Jones law petitions.
Where the two years thirst period
required by the petition has passed
the liquor people are trying to install
Af5ie cases. These sections are be-
ing attacked with petitions.
The petition circulators seem to be
instructed for emergencies. When the
voter is a known wet" he is asked
to sign to admit saloons for the next
two years. Otherwise, he is appealed
to with a petition for an election.
There are no local option elections
for residence districts.
1T won't do any harm to give the
people a chance to settle the ques-
tion," is one argument to get signers.
A dry" is sounded, when located.
The wet" worker reports Mr.. Dry
to his colleague on the other side of
the street. The colleague crosses
over and presents himself and his
credentials to Mr.. "Dry' as represent
ing the Anti-Saloon league. He some
times gets Mr.. "Dry's" name on the
paper.
Should the required number of sig
natures have been secured from
voters in the territory the petitions
would be filed and that district would
be wet" Advantage, it is reported,
Is being taken of court decisions and
the validity of signatures. The
judges have said that they must re.
main, even if secured by fraud, if the
voter had chance to read the head
ing on the petition.
All that is necessary is to get the
signatures. That, apparently, is al
that concerns those who are working
the new game.
Representatives of the Anti-Saloon
league have been busy issuing warn
ings to their people against falling
into the trap. 1t was tried in the
biggest dry" residence district in
Youngstown. There the Anti-Saloor
people went out with dry" petitions
covering wider area. They worked
with almost frantic haste. because
the law in case of contest, recognizes
as binding the biggest petitions.
The "wets" were at disadvantage
because the liquor organizations re
fused to help, fearing public resent
ment at such a victory.

tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in a bulle-
tin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent. of the ex-

Wars on oIeo coIorers.

A statewide crusade against the
sale of oleomargarine for butter and
of uncolored butter has been begun by
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Dunlap, by the filing of affidavits
against dealers in Cleveland, Akron,
Youngstown and Cincinnati. Others
are to follow. Arrests and prosecu-
tions will be pushed relentlessly. the
commissioner says.
Commissioner Dunlap has found
that dealers have been taking advan-
tage of the high butter prices to reap
enormous profits by coloring oleo and
selling it openly in the markets for
butter. He is determined to put an
end to it. His inspectors have been
notified to exercise unusual vigilance
in detecting the fraud. Sixteen affi-
davits were filed.

ach troubles" writes a lady from a
little town in Missouri.

able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that could eat would stay on my stom-

BLAME TRAMPS FOR BLAZE
Authorities Find Peculiar Signs on
Portions of Burned Building
in Which Child Died.

Lebanon, O.-Peculiar chalk marks
found on charred piece of
weatherboarding proved to authori-
ties conclusively here that the home
of Fred Gullady, in which perished
his 1S-month-old daughter, Myrtle,
was fired by tramps who had been
camping in the vicinity of the Gullady
home.
1t develops that the tramps, who
have been invading Warren county
for the past few weeks, were of the
organization which uses marks on
fences and houses to indicate whether
such was the place to obtain food.
Members of this band had presented
themselves at the Gullady home for
three days previous to the fire and
were refused food and clothing. 1t is
said some went away muttering re-
venge, and it is thought that they
marked the house for the purpose of
firing it to "get even," but it is not
thought that the life of the baby was
sought.
