COUNTY C.E. NOTES

Next Tuesday, in an all day session
the various societies of the county
will meet in a county convention.
All indications point to the biggest
convention ever. The different COM
mittees announce splendid work be-
ing done for the convention. The
program committee reports the
strongest program that the state tai
ent can possibly produce.
The Montezuma societies have all
the committees appointed necessary
to entertain a convention and are
hard at work All societies should
report at once to Miss Alwilda Clay,
of Rockford, county secretary, so
that entertainment may be provided.
The influence of the work of the
Mendon G. e., when the took charge
of the regular preaching service dur
ing the pastors absence, is still felt
in the community for good. Too
much praise cannot be given them
for the successful meeting that they
held.
The Celina Presbyterian Endeav-
erors had a real exhibition Sun
day evening of what G. E. is doing
in foreign lands. John B. heena, a
Persian, of Wooster University, a
product Of the c. E., filed the pulpit.
Rev. Snavely, County president,
returned from his trip through the
East He addressed number of G.
e. Societies in Pennsylvania. The
interest he reports there concerning
the challenge given the Ohio State
Union by that Union is now at high
pitch Their challenge is to enroll
the largest number of Christian En-
deavor Experts till next July.
The president is anxious that Mer-
Ger county make large showing In
C. e. Experts this coming year.
The u. B. Christian Endeavor So
ciety of Montezuma visited the
Burntwood society last Sunday even
ing.
The executive committees Of the
Church of Christ and U. b. Societies
will meet next Thursday evening to
make final arrangements for the

Echo of Collision

R. O. Emerson VS.. Cassie Bashore,
is the title of a suit instituted by the
plaintiff through his attorney j. H,
Musser, in Common Pleas Court The
plaintiff alleges that he was damaged
to the extent of about $500 in peace
of mind and body when he was made
a victim in an automobile accident.
The plaintiff states that he was rid
ing his motorcycle on the Celna road
between st. Marys and Celina. and
that through the fault of the defend
ants carelessness his motor cycle was
struck by her automobile, which she
was driving causing him to be thrown
to the roadside and cut and bruised
considerably. He estimates medical
services and damages at $500, for
which amount he asks Judgment

JUST UP AGAINST IT

For the second time the state en-
ergency board has refused to appro-
pirate money from the state treas
ury to make up the big state fair
shortage, The state board of agri-
culture met last Monday in Colum-
bus, and renewed its request to be
helped out of a hole.
The emergency board demanded an
accounting OF the amazing expense of
conducting the state fair this year.
One of the interesting items discov-
cred was the fact that two weekly
newspapers, with small circulation,
had received nearly 5000 worth Of
advertising. Both these papers de-
voted less space to the state fair than
did the newspapers of Putnam coun-
ty for the Putnam County Fair. The
newspapers of Putnam county will
receive less than $40.
One of these papers is the
new republican weekly just
started in Columbus. The other
is Mr. Philbrick's weekly paper.
Philbrick is a true blue demo-
crat who boosted Willis. Willis
has just appointed Philbrick to
fat $4,000 job. There may be
reason for fat advertising bills.
The secretary Of the new state
board of agriculture sent a whole
page of advertising matter to the
weekly newspapers of Ohio. They
were expected to run this for two
measly dead head passes. They re-
fused. The two above mentioned
papers got passes and big pay. When
politics run the state fair, expense
Is sure to increase and the receipts
decrease. In these cases we see Old
Robber tariff in a new dress. Favor
the few and tax the many. The sum
Of $4,000 was spent for billboard ad-
vertising. This was a big jump In
price The new board permitted the
state money to be spent freely.
Now the day of reckoning has
come. The board now asks the en-
ergency board to have pity and give
money out of the state treasury, H.
legally to pay for the foolish waste
of money. The emergency board has
four republican and one democratic
members. They are astonished al
the lack Of sense displayed in state
fair matters. The whole thing is 6
big republican quarrel at the states
expense. Before January 1, the new
board is likely to ask the emergency
board for expense money. This FUND
is about spent. 1t is known thai
Governor Willis is not happy ovel
such management. The pass curse
decreases income. The stupid ant
political contracts increase expense
Then the emergency board is asked
to break the law and pay the short
age out of the state treasury. Put
nam County Sentinel.

THE DELUDED PEOPLES

The fact that the people Of neither
Germany, France, England, Russia,
Belgium, Austria, nor Serbia, had
any voice as to the beginning or pros
ecution of this monstrous war, is a
thing to think about.
The people of the various nations
at war are furnishing the fighters
and doing the fighting; they are dy-
ing by hundreds OF thousands; they
are paying the millions of dollars a
day of the cost Of the war. For a
hundred years to come, the people
the farmers, the artisans, the
clerks, the shOpkeepers and their
wives and children and descendants
will be paying for this war
They didn't want the war. They
never were consulted about 1t at all
From the beginning it has been the
people, the common, everyday, peace
loving, housekeeping people that
have perished and paid. Their blood
and treasure have been wasted and
wantoned over q hundred European
battlefields. Their widows and or
phans have been starved, terrified
and prosecuted Their cities have
been razed, their churches desecrated
their marts dismantled and their
farms turned into graveyards.
And they don't know what 1t Is all
about. Who wished this war on the
twelve nations now engaged in it.?
What power, what interest, what con-
ceit, what arrogance, what miscar-
riage of government can 1t be which
at this day and stage Of so-called
Christian civilization can plunge so
many millions OF rational people in
to so barbaric carnage.
No writer or statesman has yet
given even partial explanations Of the
cause and origin of this war. All we
know is that the people of the coun-
tries involved did not and do not
want war-The Minneapolis Journal
