THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS A
ROSS

The above heading was not com
posed in the office of the Daily News
If we were to write any such state
ment it would be attributed to poll
tics" There would be someone to
say that it was prompted by disap-
pointment. Hence the eagerness
with which it is stated that it was
taken from the Toledo Blade, Re-
publican newspaper that did not sup
port Gov Cox for governor. And un-
der the heading appeared the follow
ing comment upon the present Ohio
legislature:
Governor Willis has held
that the executive should not in
terfere with the legislative
branch. So far as dictation is
concerned his purpose holds
good.
"But the legislature has had
the chance to show whether 1t
can run itself-and it has shown
that it cannot This is in the
very nature of things. In all de-
Lucrative bodies there must be
a strong and recognized leader
ship. Otherwise confusion is
sure to follow conflict of
minds.
'If the Republican majority,
cooperating with the governor,
lays out and follows a well-ad-
vised program, doing only the
things which should be done
and refraining candidly from do
ing the things which need not
be done, there will be little dis
position to criticize the adminis7
tration for an honest try-out of
a wholly Independent legisla-
ture.
"By assuming the leadership
now Governor Willis would only
be meeting the situation square
ly. This would be no confess
sion or weakness on the part of
the personnel of the general as
sembly, and no unwarranted as
sumption of power on the part
of the governor, Dayton News.

There is no right of removal

There was not a single in

were guilty on charges made
and determined.

that message do not apply at all

Rev. B. f. Koenig. who for several
years past has been the popular and hus-

in this city has been transferred to the
First Evangelical Church at Louisville,
Ky, and will leave sometime the coming
week for his future home.

gregation, but the citizens in general
Rev. Koenig came to this city in 1911,
finding a congregation of but thirty MEM
bers, and these without an adequate
place to worship. He at once took up the
task of building up the congregation and
erecting a church. By untiring efforts

Manager OFT has booked the fast Lima

Sundy afternoon Williams and Dvis will
do the twirling for the local lads.
After letting fair sized crowd congre-
gate last Sunday Manager OFT at three
o o'clock called off the proposed game be-
tween Celina adm Greenville, and a good
bunch of disappointed rooters hooted his
decision when it was announced by UNI

as well as the visitors were anxious to
pull off the contest several of the local
players volunteered their services in the
game gratis
up, and the weather too, and the fans
had waited a half hour after time for
play, his nibs said their was nothing do

Last Friday night was the scene of an
exciting game of basket ball at Merceli-
ma Park auditorium when the Mendon
team clashed with the Spencerville five.
The game drew the largest crowd of
spectators ever seen at any of the games
this season.
Owing to the agreement that the win

including, according to reports, 5000 on
the side, both teams played as though
they needed several years more practice
before they would be able to compete
with the LaMousants They seemed be-
wildered, throwing the ball almost any
place, owing no doubt to the immense
crowd who kept the hall in an uproar
from beginning to end.
The Spencerville boys seemed to show
up some better in the second half, the
game ending in their favor IL to TO-
In all probability, however, Mendon

SOME QUEER sUPERsTITIoNs

There is no step along the rose -strewn
path that leads to the Altar that is not
haunted by it's own pet superstitions; and
the nearer to the lovers goal the more
thickly these superstitions cluster. And
herein lies much of the charm of wooing
and being wooed; for not step forward
can be taken without delightful trepi-
dation as to whether it will be lucky or
the reverses wise or foolish. 1t is such
pleasing fears such delicious doubtings
that feed the flame of love and add a
greater brightness to its halo of romance.
Every maid for instance knows that
"If she marry in the month of May she
will surely rue the day''-but what of all
the other months of the glad year of we'd
ding? Which will bring her happiness,
and which shall she shun? Happily she
is not left to her own resources in decid-
ing this crucial question, for loves calen-
dar has all been landmarked for her guild
ance. She is told on unmistakable au-
thority:
when February birds doN mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate
If you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow, both you'll know,
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry when June roses grow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed,
Must labor always for their bread.
And so on, until December snow fall fast,
Marry, and true love will last"
In all the year since June and October
seem to shine with brightest promise of
nuptial bliss, and the days of happiest
omen are June 4 and October 8, the maid
who wears her bridal veil on either of
these two days is assured of all sweet
things in her welded life.
Then each month has its unlucky days,
which lovers on wedding bent will be wise
to avoid. After all, they only number
thirty-two in the year, so that there is
liberal margin for felicity. Thus in Febr-
uary 9Th. 7th and 18th must be struck
out of the nuptial calendar; in March 1st,
9Th and 9Th; in April the 9th and 18th; in
May the 5th, 9Th and 7th, and so on to
the 18th day of December, the last ill
omened day of the year. OF all the days
of the month the 9Th holds the least pro-
mise of happiness, and the 3rd the great
est. Even in lucky June lovers must give
the 7th and 18th wide berth; and in
October the 9Th.
Having chosen the month in the light
of this good counsel, crucial question
still faces the would-be happy couple;
Which day Of the week shall It be? And
here none but the blind-the wilfullly
blind-need go astray Friday is admit
tedly a day to avoid the altar--except in
Scotland, where it is curiously enough,
the favorite day of all the week. Tuesday
Thursday has one conspicuously lucky, If
inconVenient hour-that before sunrise;
while Sunday, Monday and Saturday are
neutral days The qualities OF the DAYS
are fairly displayed In the Following, not
unfamiliar lines:
Monday for wealth.
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday, the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses;
Saturday no luck at all
When once the happy day is fixed be-
ware of changing 1t, for, that way certain
disaster lies.
