AMENDMENT
PROVIDES WAY
Big Damage Claim 70 he Filed I'm
Local Court Tomorrow
Against State
In Behalf of the Land Owners on
South Side Of Reservoir
and Along Beaver.

Ex-Prosecuting Attorney John G. Ro-
mer and Attorneys 1. f, Raudabaugh
and S. S. Scranton will tomorrow file
damage suits against the State of Ohio
in the Common Pleas Court of this coun-
ty, on behalf of land owners on the
south side of Lake Mercer and along
sluggish Beaver, praying for damages
agg yating $4,000, caused by high
WAGER froL Lake Mercer and her trib-
utaries.
The suits will be among the first filed
against the State since the taking effect,
on January /, of the new constitutional
amendment permitting suits to be
brought against the State without per-
mission from the State Legislature.
Some very interesting facts will be
CLEANED from the petition. The chief
cause of action will be a question as to
whether the State has the right to store
water here for other than canal supply
purposes, This will also bring into dis
pute the question of the right of the
State to sell portions of the reservoir
and canal right-of-way without permit |
from the national Congress.
This question arises over the form of
grant given by Congress to the State of
Ohio for the use of the land used for the
canals and the supply or storage reser
ervoirs.
The petition has been partly drawn
from old records, dating back to 1925.

SUCKERS BITE ALL
THE YEAR ROUND
lOttawa Sentinel. ]


Suckers will bite in the winter time
as we'll as in warm weather" This re-
mark was made by farmer who lives
less than a dozen miles from the county
seat. Signing up notes and agreeing to
pay a cheap price for groceries and other
goods bought of strangers is Improbable
business for the farmer.
A man goes out and offers rosy bar
gain, and the farmer forgets his old reli-
able home merchant, and swallows the
bait, hook, and line. Signs up an agree
ment, which is as good as a note, and
then kicks because the slick man never
sends him any goods. He ought to take
his medicine without making faces.
This practice has been reported to the
Sentinel. The home merchant bare
ly makes living. Few ever got rich.
They are honest and in the long run will
wear the best
The shyster goes about giving two or
three purchasers bargain. Delivers the
goods. Waits a few days for his bait cut
tiers to tell their neighbors what a bar
gain they got. The shyster re-appears
in the community. Everybody bites.
Everybody sorry soon after. The mer-
chant in the home town has got to make
good. The shyster gives a bargain on
one or two things and robs on others.
The shyster comes into town at night
sits around smoking ten cent cigars,
high balls and laughing at easy
money and easy suckers, and in a few
days moves on to the next county A
stranger always gives you less for your
money than any body else. One man
who recently joined the sucker class ask
ed that his name be not put in print.

"LOOK OUT NINE
WINDOWS"
[Bryan's Commoner

Bryan OOmmOner
Vincent Astor, the young multi million
aire, recently passed night at the Cover
nor's house at Albany. He wanted t
talk to the governor about the subjec
uppermost in his mind-the question
that ought to be uppermost in the min,
of every young man-"how to be use
full man" Governor Sulzer tells of hi
conversation with young Astor in thi
way:
1 told him he was living in a
house with only one window, that he
was looking out of that window every
day and his views were consequently
limited and contracted. 1 said, I
am going to put nine windows in your
house. You can look out of each
of these windows with me and
you will get perspective. After
you have looked out of all the win
dows, select the view you like best,
and the field wherein you think you
can be the most useful, and then go
to work and do something for your
fellow man. He spent some time
looking out of these windows, and
he didn't seem to take much interest
i'll any of them until l went to the
agricultural window, and the mo-
ment he looked out of that he said:
That is my field, that is what /
would like to do. have one of the
finest in the state of New York down
along the Hudson river. My father
never did anything with it. amgo-
ing to make that farm an expermen-
tai farm along scientific farm lines,
and everything do there will be told
to the people of the country. "
How many young men are living in
| house with only one Window" None
If them have money as Vincent Astor
las, but every one has opportunity equal
with young Astor's opportunity. One
popular writer gave the world sentence
