LOCAL POLITICS BEGINS
TO LOOK UP

Druggist Perry Baker has announced
himself as a candidate for village
Treasurer on the Democratic ticket
to be named at theSeptem Der primary.
Perry is straight goods and full SO
inches wide and the man that puts a
crimp IN his aspirations will have to
travel some. He started out with his
nomination papers yesterday.
The people by direct vote, instead of
political bosses in conventions, will
elect the delegates from Ohio to the
1912 Democratic and Republican ma
tional conventions, that is if the bosses
don't get law declared invalid because
no provision was made in the primary
law for the direct election of the four
delegates -at- large. The 1910 assembly
enacted this law for direct vote, but
ID has no doubt been forgotten by the
majority of voters.
Governor Harmon has named John
/. Miller, surveyor of Van Vert Coun-
ty, as Chief ENGINEER of the State Board
of Public Works to succeed James r.
Marker, promoted to the head of the
State Highway Commission.
In every city, town and village of
the state, people are beginning to spec
ulate on the possible candidates who
will make up the tickets at the coming
November elections. There will be
the usual contests at the primaries,
but it is an important matter that only
the best men of the highest character
be chosen. The man blind to the en-
forcement of the law, the tool of the
law breaker, should not bear a mo-
ment's consideration.

GOOD THINGS ON CHAU-

varied and very attractive. The fol-
lowing shows some of the talent on
the program each day:

Notes of the Game.

Celina, although winning Sundays
game, lost one of its most valuable
men, Outfielder Ellis being put out
of commission for the rest of the sea-
son. Charley had singled in the sew
enth and pilfered second when the ac-
cident occurred. He was playing off
the sack for a dash to third when
Burke made an attempt to catch him.
The fleet runner slid back into the
sack and in some manner caught his
left foot, tearing the ligaments of the
ankle. He was taken to the Office of
DR.. Hattery, where the injured men,
Der was placed in a cast. Charley is
getting around on crutches, but will
not be able to get in the game again
this season.
Geo. Myers, the big third sacker, was
also crippled up, but not seriously,
when he attempted to score on a single
to left in the fourth. He caught his
left elbow on the corner of the plate as
he made a big slide, and tore a long
and ugly cash across the arm.
The game was featured by sensa-
tional fielding on both sides, the great
est play being a catch of fly in short
left by the young shortstop Bethel.
The popular lad also came in for bat
ting honors with a home run in the
seventh. 1t was a pretty line drive to
left that bounded past Burris and
rolled almost to the gun club cottage.
1t was the first home-run drive on
the local diamond this season and the
lad Jared we'll for his labor, winning
a box of cigars offered by VIM. Kim
mel, manufacturer of the pride of
Celina," and several dollars in the
coin Of the relm, gifts from enthusi-
astic fans.
The retirement of Chas. Ellis from
the game will change the lineup for
next Sundays contest. Lew Cook, the
fast Rockford infelder, has been draft
ed and will cover third. Big George
Myers will be shifted to second, while
Bets will go to one of the outfields.
Ralph Behringer, of Dayton, came
home Wednesday to recuperate. Tues
day while at work he was overcome
by the heat and next to being put out.
He has not been himself for some time,
and on the Fourth while playing with
the local team at Wapak had to retire
from the game, Cut out the coffin nails,
Ralph, and see how it works.
Albert Bethel and Kahle McComb,
members of the local ball club go to
Lima today, where they will likely
work out in tho Lima Chilhcothe Ohio
State League game. The fast young
shortstop will take try with Chilli
cothe team, while the popular backstop
will work for Lima.
A big crowd of roOters went with the
Elks last Sunday to Celina to see the
game. All speak in the highest praise

TRACTION EXTENSION
TALK FROM HEAD
QUARTERS
Lima Republiean- Gazette.

Western Ohio Railway company now
plans to build another link from Cell
ma, the present western terminus OF
the w. o., to Portland, thus furnish
ing direct route to indianapolis. A
still further link, which will bring Ft.
Wayne into the system is that, now
partly constructed between Celina and
Geneva. The extent Of these comtem-
plated operations brings into view the
forethought which resulted In the
building of the immense power station
at st. Marys, which is the strategic
point to supply power to these widely
extending ramiications. The power
plant now has a surplus capacity and
is susceptible of enlargement.

FIVE SEPARATE BALLOTS
FOR THE VOTER

County voters will receive five sepa-
rate ballots when they enter the polls
next November. They will contain
respectively the municipal, township,
justice Of the peace, board of education
and the constitutional convention
tickets.
The operation of new law makes it
necessary to have the justice of peace
tickets separate from the others.
Township, municipal and the board of
education ballots must also be seperate
Not only must the constitutional
convention ballots be seperate but they
must not show TO what party any of
the would be delegates belong. More
than that, they must rotate so that the
order Of candidates on two consecutive
adopted to take the selection of dele
gates out ofpolitics and to prevent the
instruction of illiterate voters, by un-
scrupulOus persons.
Several queries have been made rela-
tive to petitions for the primary elec-
tions. The primary election will be
held on September 5, and nominations
for place on primary ballot will be by
nomination papers which must be filed
with the board of deputy state super
visors at least twenty days before the
election. The papers must be sign
cd by at least per cent of the party
voters in "" political subdivision for
which the animation is made. The
bases for the percentages will be the
vote cast for governor last fall.

Says US. Food Expert.

A Washington dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer of the 9TH says: DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, pure food expert,
to-day predicted that within Is years
smoking and tobacco chewing in pub
lie will have become obsolete.
A man has perfect right to drink
chew or dip snuff in his private sane
tum, but has not the shadow of right
to inhict unwholesome smoke and his
vile breath on the community at large.
There should be a law, strictly en-
forced by the authorities, prohibiting
smoking and chewing in public places
or on the cars whore other persons are
obliged to be-.
Tobacco is bad IN summer time. /

from sunstioke who had not been

CANNING FACTORY
DITCH IN NILL-REPUTE
Dads WrestIe With Annual Prop
OsitiOn That Irritates West
End of Town.

Council met in regular session last
Tuesday night, with Mayor Kenney
and Councilmen Meyer and LeB1ond
absent, President pro tenn. Lennartz
opened the meeting and after the usual
routine Health officer DIR. Jos. Sager
reported to council that his attention
had been called to the Canning Facto-
ry ditch that he had investigated 1t
and found it in a bad condition. He
also said that the stencil was such that
residents in the neighborhood could no
longer tolerate it, and that council
should take steps to remedy matters.
A resolution was passed to prevent the
owners of the factory from using the
ditch in question for sewage purposes.
The old soro breaks out with due reg
ularity, the smell is familiar, sewer
talk will fill tho air for few weeks
and then wo will get back into the old
rut once more. However, something
should be done to abate the nuisance.
Fire Chief Weisman stated that lot
of rubbish had been allowed to accu-
mulate in the rear of the David He'll
warth properties, on Main and Fayette
streets, that should be cleaned up at
once, as it might any time cause fire.
He said he had called Mr.. Hellwarth's
attention to the matter but no heed had
been paid to it.
The street committee reported that
the graveling and macadamizing of
several streets was progressing nicely.
Reports of various department heads
for the past month were read and ap-
proved.
The clerk was instructed to notify
the L. e. & w. Railroad TO place nee
essary screenings on street crossings
built over their right of way on Buck
eye and Warren streets.

SURE TEST AND LIKE
WISE A WARNING

on pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his son were seated In
the village inn. The father had par
taken literally of the home brewed
beer, and was warning his son against
the evils Of intemperance. Never
drink too much, my son. A gentleman
stops when he has enough. To be
drunk is a disgrace"
'Yes, father, but how can I tell
when have enough"
The old man pointed his finger. DO
you see those two men sitting in the
corner? If you should see four men
there you would be drunk"
The boy looked long and earnestly.
"Yes, father but-but-there is only
one man il that corner"
