CELINA MAN SLATED
FOR GOOD JOB
If Proposed Bill Under Consid-
Grafton Becomes Law-Has
Made Fine Record.

A Columbus correspondent of the Tole-
do Blade, Republican, sent the follow
ing to his paper last week:
L. +. Roemer, of Celina, is said to be
slated by Governor Harmon for head of
the reorganaized state inspection bureau.
The bureau now is a department under
State Auditor Fullington, who was large
" responsible for its creation. 1t is
managed by three deputies. The legis-
lature last year took from the auditor s
Office many of its powers and gave them
to the state treasurer and tax commiss-
ion.
Senator Cetone, of Dayton, introduc-
ed a bill making the inspection bureau,
which audits all public offices and ac-
counts in the state, a department by it
self The work would be placed direct
" under the governor, through an ap-
pointment of a chef inspector at a S., 900
salary. This b!ll will be reintroduced
and is expected to pass.
Roemer is the bank examiner detached
at the governors direction to conduct
the accounting and bank probing, which
resulted in immense recovery suits on
the bonds of former State Treasurers
Cameron and McKinnon. He recently
has returned to the banking department.

RANK IN EUROPEAN TITLES
Subject Girls Know Less About Than
Geese Do About Arith-
metic.

American girls desirous of marry
ing titles should be able to distin-
guish and know how to pick out the
real good.
American girls know less about
titles than geese about arithmetic,
says Hrolf Wisby in the Smart Set.
1t makes no difference that French
titles are of no account since the re-
public; the export heiress will insist
on marrying one in preference to any
other Believe me, these geese had
rather be styled madame la marquise
or madame la princess any day, no
matter how rotten the family ante
cedents, than try to annex what in Eu-
rope is understood by a great and
noble rank, and metamorphose into a
frau baronin or even frau grain.
The stupid misconception is found
ed on a rather innocent enough mis-
conception The American girl is am
bilious to marry as near the throne
as possible The family dictionary
encourages her fairy-story illusion
that dukes and princes are somehow
in the train of royalty, whereas barons
and counts are out Of it, That settles
it; she will go cunning for the prince
ly label, no matter how mean and ill
descended, for it is the outside of the
apple, and not the core, that counts
here. She ignores baronial titles,
unawares that many of them are of
more than present princely rank-that
is, ancient princely rank-and more
closely affiliated with the crown, in
many instances, than many high
sounding ducal titles.
If you tell her that imperial genealo-
gists consider a baronial title, like
that of Freiherr Won Riedesel, one of
the highest of the empire, she will
take it as a joke. She is constantly
confounding the two decisive ele-
ments that determine the value of a
title-namely, the nominal rank and
the heraldic status. She cannot con
ceive of the title prince or duke as
being of low lineal status, nor can
she be made to see in the rank
freiherr or graf the highest status of
nobility extant.

In the campaign of 1912, over three
hundred thousand women will be CIV

Heretofore Colorado has had 10000
women voters, Utah GO,OOO, Idaho, 30,
600, Wyoming $4,000 and the enfran-
chisement during this year, Of 10000
women Of Washington swells the list
greatly.
In the campaign in five states orators
will not forget the woman vote is to be
given careful consideration, few
hattering remarks will not be suii-
cient. While in forty two states the

MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE
OF Celina Man Explained by a
Letter from John Spencer,
Now in England.

Writing back from England to his
friends in Celina, Ohio, that they would
see him never again, John Spencer an
aged carpenter, has left this country
while certain Celina men are trying to
square accounts with what little proper
ty he left behind.
About six weeks ago the Lima police
received word from Celina that Spencer
had started for Lima and had shipped
box of tools over the Western Ohio
electric railway and asked that both
Spencer and the tools be taken into
custody. The tools were located but
Spencer was not found.
The tools have remained at the freight
station ever since and watch has been
maintained for Spencer. After the word
had been received as to his whereabouts
Marshal Weber, of Celina, came to Lima
Yesterday and with the cooperation OF
the local police, levied an attachment ON
the tools and returned them to Celina.
The value of the tools are about $50. 1t
has developed that Spencer forged two
notes of small amounts according to the
police, about the time he left Celina,
and the proceeds that will likely be rea-
lized from the sale of the tools will not
fall far short of covering his indebted
ness.

AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION SCHOOL
A Failure This Year-Instruc-
tion First-Class but Pupils
Played Truant.

The much. heralded agricultural ex-
tension school for Celina this year was
a failure, but this only applies to the
attendance and not the instruction, but
that was enough. Last years success
ful school and the high praise that
was given 1t was expected to boom 1t
so that when the hungry pupils assem-
bled this year for agricultural knowl-
edge the partitions would have to be
taken out of the city building, the
walls extended and tent erected to
accommodate the overflow. Those
who attended last year were evidently
attacked with stayathomeitis and there
were no recruits to fiji their ranks, so
instead of an over whelming flood the
instructors met frigid drought. In
stead of facing even the ninety-siX
pupils of last winter, only thirty-four
were on hand this year, recruits and
all, to answer to roll-call.
One thing is pretty certain, Celina
Will be wiped off the map when the
next agritural extension school sched-
ule is arranged. Rockford, however,
is said to be anxious to have the school
up there and tho county may not lose
out altogether.
