b. Willis has Issued special
proclamation urging that COM
panies called out for duty in Mexico
be recruited up to war strength at
once, the honor of the state and its
traditions making that an imperative
duty to be quickly discharged.
The proclamation was not unexpect.
ed Enlistments over the state gen.
orally had been quite satisfactory, but
in certain places the number coming
in had not been up to expectations.
The proclamation was issued after
conference of the governor and the
military authorities.
There will be active support from
influential people and organizations to
aid the national guard.
The officials of the Ohio Manufac-
turers' association have sent letters to
every member i.l the state, urging that
immediate cooperation be given that
men who are thinking of enlisting be
given positive assurance of their posi-
tions being open to them on their re-
turn. The letters are signed by Pres
ident Charles B. Mccoy of Coshocton
and Secretary Malcolm Jennings of
Columbus.
The state civil service commission
adopted rule that any public en-
ploye who wants to enlist will be given
leave of absence and his place re-
tanned for him.
A number of Columbus concerns
made it plain to their men that their
places are safe If they enlist. Full
time or part has been offered in few
cases and provision made for caring
for dependents while the men are
away.
Governor Made Selections.
The facts about the designation of
the Ohio military organizations to go
under the presidents call are that the
president simply asked for so many
units. The governor selected the or
ganizations to go. at that, it is gen.
orally agreed that the governor used
good judgment in making the selec-
tions, as the 1st regiment has just
been through long siege of interne-
cine trouble and the 7th is located in
a territory in which there are no large
cities, and it has always been difficult
to have any solidarity in the regiment
List of EIigibIes Lost.
Much comment has been caused here
by the announcement that the list Of
eligibles for appointment as custodian
of films in the office of the state film
censors, which was certified by the
state civil service commission to the
state industrial commission on May 70
last, has been lost At loss to under
stand why no appointment had been
made from the list President Camp
bell of the civil service commission
made inquiry, only to find that there
was no such eligible list in the hands
of the industrial commission
Managers Hold Meeting.
Owing to the advanced prices on gro
ceries and provisions incident to the
war and the potency Of shortage Of
funds in the different state institutions
before the expiration of the allotted
time for the appropriations, a special
meeting of all the managing officers of
the different state institutions was
held at Lancaster recently, when the
financial question was discussed. Un-
less unusual precautions are taken by
every state officer at the different
state institutions, the state will be un-
able to meet the situation.
Advertised His Candidacy.
S. W. Stilwell, one of the candidates
for the Republican nomination for Sec
retary of state, adopted unusual tao
tics for campaigning while the Repub-
lican state convention was in the city.
He had headquarters at the Neil, as all
the others had, but his candidacy was
impressed upon the delegates in the
streets by means of an automobile
bearing on it's top his name and polit-
ical aspiration, while an electric organ
within attracted the ear of him whose
eye failed to see it.

opinion rendered to the state util.
tiles commission held that rail-
roads cannot be required to pay

Call to Service Increases Marriages.
An enormous increase in marriage
licenses here and in many parts
of the state is credited to the call
of troops for service in Mexico,
those contemplating marrying hasten
ing the ceremony. So that Mars is
