Great interest has been manifested by
members of all parties in what Garford

definite to announce upon the question
of their respective candidacies'for United
States Senator and Governor.
Prominent Progressives from all parts
of the state will be present and every
county in the state is expected to send a
delegation of some size.
The local committee has decided that
women should be admitted to the ban

ration of the Progressives in the Column

lively work for woman suffrage The
committee state that the active stand
taken by Progressives i'll national and
state platforms entitled women to par.
ticipate in the campaign opening on an

SLEET STORM
PLAYS HAVOC

One of the most disastrous sleet storms
that has visited Celna and Mercer coun-
ty in years occurred last Friday night

trees were broken off beneath the weight
of ice and snow. The worst damage in
any one place in this city, was caused
by a large limb from one of the noble
naples in front of the Champion home,
Fast Market street. The limb, with its
icy weight fell across the street, bring
ing down with it electric and telephone
wires and the Western Ohio's trolley
wires. The trees in the court house
park were denuded of branches and the
GROUND is strewn with the debris.
Telephone poles and wires we're down
all over the county, the Celina and Mer-
Ger County Telephone company's dam
age running into the thousands. They
had over three hundred phones out Of

Wall OF
DESPAIR
Goes Up from Haunts of Poor
and DecTepit Ratail Monu
mental Association.
misrepresentation and FaIsIfica-
tiOn Added TO Their Per-
Verted Statements.

It is to be regretted that on account of
progress it necessarily follows that those
who continue to follow the antiquated
paths must fall by the wayside.
The cry Of the National Retail Monu-
ment Dealers Association reminds one
of the cries of a drowning man who
grasps at a straw to savehimself These
poor benighted creatures, the members
of this association, particularly those of
the smaller communities who have for a
lifetime ground out a precarious exist
ence, see in the Community Mausoleum
their final downfall. In their despera-
tion they blindly attack the proposition,
making statements that are malicious
falsehoods, or which are so evasive that
it would be impossible to pin them down.
The articles are written and paid for
by the association but published over the
names of local dealers, who, in most
cases, haven't enough intelligence to
write and are irresponsible, thus judg-
ment proof
Like all innovations in the regular and
customary ways Of doing things, the
Community Mausoleum must pass
through its term of unbiased, insincere
and malicious criticism. Everyone has
perfect right to criticise, but he should
confne himself at least, to the best of his
knowledge, to the truth.
We concede that there are mausoleums,
both community and private, which were
not properly constructed, but is there
any line of business in which there is
more misrepresentation and swindling
practiced than in the monumental bust
ness2 WeNlo not mean to condemn all
monumental dealers or the business as a
whole, as this is the vocation of some
few honest and sincere men, men of in
telligence who do not condemn an entire
proposition on account of the mistakes or
dishonesty of few, nor will they permit
themselves to be used as scapegoats for
the larger dealers.
In this day of greater intelligence that
antiquated cry of telling the truth for
the sake of the dear people and for their
protection does not have much effect.
The people know that they can take care
of themselves, and it is considered an
insult to be told that they need a guar
dian. They know that whenever they
hear this cry there is some selfish motive
which dictates it, which is certainly true
in the case of PRIMITIVE Monumental
Works of Ft. Recovery, Ohio. The erec-
tion of Mansoleum in their most linn
tied territory means the loss of the sale
of several monuments.
Those of you who are so unfortunate
as to be compelled to purchase a monu-
ment, go to the Premer Monumental
Works Of Ft. Recovery, Ohio, and care
fully note how solicitous they are of your
welfare, note the price they demand and
then 60 out and inform yourself as to the
price of granite which they themselves
say costs about 81 90 per ton, figure the
amount of labor on the monument and
then estimate their profit, in their own
words, compare the cost as compared
with what they get for it." Since the
