poI VI Iue BoNeTuUT q btdh, HAS peeu
honorably discharged by order of the
,adjutant generals Office as lieutenant
commander OF the Cleveland Naval
Militia, but he will not leave the serv-
ice of the National Guard. He has

Company l, Fifth Regiment, of Cleve-
land, and recently took the examina-

State Business Before Addresses.
Because of the difficulty in fill
ing them, Gov. Cox will make
fewer engagements in the future.
He has already found that it
Is practically impossible for
public man to make an engagement
with any degree of certainty as to fill
ing it. All other governors have
found the same thing to be true, but
to less extent than Gov. Cox, who
seems to be in greater demand for
public addresses than has been any
governor for many years. There is
always important official business de-
veloping which interferes with the
speaking engagements of the chief
executive.
Aid From Massachusetts.
The boys and girls of Cambridge,
Mass, have sent to the boys and
girls of Ohio who suffered from the
floods last spring substantial ex-
preston of their love and sympathy.
1t is in the form of check for
$304.12 which was given by $4,000
school children of that city. This
money has been sent to State School
Commissioner Frank w. Miller, who
will distribute it after the schools
reopen in the fall. 1t will be no
easy task to determine how to divide
the money, but it will be disposed of
to the best advantage.
Time Allowances Cut Down.
Members of boards of review all
over the state will set up howl when
they learn that the state board of ap-
praisers and assessors have decided
to cut down the time allowances for
their work. The biggest kick comes
from the nine largest cities, who are
directed to do all their work by March
1, instead of taking the whole year
for it. AS the members are paid by
the day, thfs will cut large slice
from their compensation. Cities of
from 5000 to 1900 must complete
their work in 40 days; cities of from
1900 to 10000 must complete it in so
days; cities of from 10000 to 1880
must complete it in 60 days; cities
of from 1880 to $4,000 must COM
plete it in 70 days; cities of from
$4,000 to $4,000 must complete it in
80 days, and cities of from $4,000 to
100000 must complete it in 100 days.
State Treasurer Brennan, secretary
of the board, said that Canton,
Youngstown, Akron and Springfield
would be required to finish by March
1 instead of being given a year. 1t
has been the custom of the board to
fix time for the work and then al
low an extension il thus was deemed
necessary.
Chance for Ohio Teachers.
Panama and other Latin-American
countries for persons who can speak
Spanish. The bureau of education at
Washington has advised State School
Commissioner Miller that well-paid
teaching positions in these countries
open to Americans will be ffI1ed by
men from other countries because of
a lack of trained men in the United
States with a speaking knowledge of
Spanish. Commissioner Miller will
call general attention to the fact that
Ohioans who can speak Spanish can
get. these jobs for the asking if they
have the other necessary qualifi-
cation.
Seek Cut in Ohio Assembly.
Petitions are in circulation for the
submission to the people of consti-
tutional amendment providing for a
smaller membership in the Ohio gen.
eral assembly.
The petitions were drawn by Repre-
sentative Robert Black of Cincinnati,
an assistant in the department of the
attorney general, and seek to have the
membership in the house of represen.
tatives reduced to so and the senate
to %.
The present house has 1913 members
and the senate 30. The proposed
amendment would permit every coun-
ty, no matter how small, to have one
representative in the general assem-
bly,.
Banks Have Good Growth.
The banks of the state have had a
good growth since Feb. 4, according

| port is for the period closing June 4.
