BUSINESS CONDITION In
UTICA, Ohio

On Saturday afternoon three repre-.
sentatives of the Citizens Campaign
Committee went to Utica, O., to in.
vestigate business conditions in that
town. During the two hours between
trains this committee interviewed
eleven business men, and one of the
city officials with the following re.
suits.
Nine Of the eleven business men
stated that business conditions were
much worse with saloons than without
them. The other two men had only
lived in Utica about seven months,
therefore did not know anything about
business conditions without saloons.
When asked in what way business
had been affected the Utica business
men stated that many men who for
merly paid cash for their merchandise
now bought on credit and that large
part of their credit was hard to realize
on. They also said that with saloons
In the town large number of work
ing men who were formerly sober now
spend their money largely for booze,
SO that their families now have hard
time to secure the necessaries of life
and have to deny themselves all Of
life's luxuries.
One person told us that his people
had been in the habit of going to New
ark to do their shopping, but that
since Mt. Vernon had been without
saloons they had been doing their
shopping there.
Tho committee had expected, be-
cause of the reports circulated by the
Taxpayers League, to see large
number of Mt. Vernon people in Utica
to do their shopping; however in spite
of the fact that it was Saturday after
noon, the only person from Mt. Ver-
non was one of its notorious boozers.
Upon inquiry the merchants told the
committee that they did not get any
Mt. Vernon trade.
One of the city officials told us that
when Utica was without saloons they
had an average of three arrests a
month for drunkenness, but after the
| saloons were in operation the average
number Of arrests per month increas-
ed to twenty-five, an increase of seven
hundred per cent.

STATEMENT
GIVEN OUT
By Prosecutor CrOmIey Rel
alive To The Salary :
Of Members Of Township
Boards Of Education
And InStruCtS Clerks To
Follow Old Law
Session Of Common Pleas
Court On Monday
Other Items Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice
Session Of Common Pleas
Court On Monday
Other Items Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice

Prosecuting Attorney Cromley gives
out the following statement relative
to the compensation of members of
the township boards of education:
The question of compensation Of the
members of township boards of educa-
tion is giving the different clerks and
treasurers much concern just at pres
ent. The present members were
elected when Section Ais Of the Cen
eral Code was the law, and that Sec
tion reads as follows:
each member of the township
board of education shall receive as
compensation two dollars for each
meeting actually attended by such
member, but for not more than ten
meetings in any year. The compen-
sation allowed members Of the board
shall be paid from the contingent
fund"
Section AIS was amended in Feb
ruary. 1914. and became the law in
May, 1914, and now reads:
Each member of the board of edu-
cation of rural school districts, except
such districts as contain less than six
teen square miles, shall receive as
compensation two dollars for each
regular meeting actually attended by
such member, but for not more than
five meetings in any year.. The COM
pensation allowed members Of the
board shall be paid from the contin-
gent fund.-"
The obvious effect of the amend
ment is to reduce the maximum COM
pensation from twenty dollars per
year to ten dollars.
The different boards and clerks are
instructed to follow the law as 1t was
before the 1914 amendment, and
where members have actually attend
ed ten regular meetings to allow the
full compensation of twenty dollars
for the year 1914. Such action will be
approved by the Bureau of Account
ing.

Sickle, has filed first and final

UTICA BUSINESS men WARN
MT. VERNON AGAINST The
RETURN OF The SALOONS

We, the undersigned business men
Of Utica, o., believe that business con-
ditions are more satisfactory in dry
town than in wet one. Since saloons
have been in Utica, credit sales have
increased and collections have been
more difficult. Men who heretofore
have paid cash, now ask for credit.
From business standpoint, we would
much prefer to have town without
saloons.

Quality Of Humor.

A famous definition of the quality of
humor is this: "For this humor is an
adjunct divine; it is value Of life; it
makes for greater things than clean
laughter from the lungs. 1t is the root
of tolerance, the proof of patience; 1t
suffers long and is kind; serves to
tune each little life harmony with the
world harmony about it; keeps the
heart of man sweet. his soul modest.
And at the end, when the light thick
ems and the mesh grows tight, humer
can shape the suffering vigils Of the
sleepless, can soften pain, can brighten
the ashy road to death"

STEARNS ENDS HIS
 WORK ON VIADUCTS

Special City Engineer J. W. Stearns, who has been employed by the city for the past several months on the grade crossing situation in this city, yesterday severed his connection with the city, having completed his work.
 ''I want to pay the highest compli- ment to Mir. Stearns I can." said Mir. Weatherly, city commissioner, yester- day. His work for the city has been invaluable and of the highest order. He Is one of those quiet, unassuming fellows whom the public never hears much about. but he has demonstrated here what he can do. When he came here the grade crossing muddle was in terrible shape. as possibly every cit- izen knows. He took hold of it with the conception of a trained expert and he has brought order out of chaos.
 "The effects of his several months' work for the city of Birmingham will never be lost. He has mapped out an entire grade crossing system which in time will be finally worked out. I want to publicly congratulate him and thank him in behalf of the city and wish him success in whatever he un- dertakes."

 Much has been said to the detriment of Walker county began Colonel Argo "But Walker county is no better and no worse than certain other counties The good people of Walker do not favor policy of winning at any cost. As a matter of fact, I hope the time will come when it will be impossible for Q republican to vote in democratic pri- mary.
