AUG. "a
Is Date When Tennis Tour.
nament viii Begin

Tuesday, Aug. "a, is the date set
aside for the beginning of the Knox
county tennis tournament this year.
This was decided by a meeting of the
newly.appointed committee to man
age the tournament this year.
Also, at this meeting, the question
of having last years champion play
through the tournament was brought
up. On this point, the committee de-
cided to abide by the rules adopted by
the American Amateur Tennis asso-
citation, which state that the champion
of the previous year does not have to
play through the tournament, but only
in the challenge round where he
meets the champion of that year to
defend his title. According to this,
Robert Walton of Gambler, who won
the championship last year, will not
be forced to play through the tour
nament, but will still have the chance
to defend his title against the winner
Of this years play.
The tournament this year will be
managed in the same manner as 1t
was last, with the exception that
there will be no mixed doubles. 9th
erwise, however, it will be just the
same, matches being played in mems
singles and doubles and ladies' sin
giles.
It is hoped that this may be one of
the most successful years of the

were arbitrary:

were arbitrary:
"In Cincinnati, one state tax com
missioner and two assessors added
$20,00O,000 to the 1914 tax duplicate
arbitrarily by order of Governor Cox
in order that his personally appointed
taxing machine hands might make a
great showing of effectiveness"
In other places the state tax COM
mission, operating through the same
press bureau, announces that the
great and imposing increase made in
Cincinnati last year has not only been
retained for the 1915 duplicate but has
actually been increased by several
million dollars. If Cox used the
Warnes law to make a showing of eff
fectiveness, what in heavens name
is Willis using 1t for?
"The other day Governor Willis
was at Vermillion. where he spoke
to a gathering says the Youngstown
Vindicator. "a man with Genera
caught the governor while he was
pulling away at cigar, and just then
the governor caught sight of what had
happened. He told the man that he
never permitted his picture to be TAX

"A day or so later this word picture
was flashed from Xenia:
"'This is the first time have ever
had enough gizzards. I ate eleven,
remarked Governor Willis as he con-
cluded his dinner at the farmers pic
mic. The governor also cleaned up
several more delicate pieces Of spring
fries and went into raptures over a
dish of old-fashioned schmier kase.' I"
