3. G o. Adopts Novel Plan To Adver-
tise Industries Along Its Lines
Idea Originated With For
mer Mt. Vernon Boy

H. L. Galleher of Pittsburgh, for
merly of Mt. Vernon, industrial agent
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
has sent letters to Agent G. A. Rehart
and Freight Agent F. G. Hadley of
the local station asking that they WIS.,
it factories located along the line and
have them put up signs giving the
name Of the industry and its product.
The purpose which the B. & o. has
in mind is an increase in business for
the factories which, by virtue of their
locations, patronize it's lines, The
signs will attract attention of people
passing by in railroad coaches and
the advertising thus obtained is not
to be underestimated.
Local factories have already been
requested by Rehart and Hadley to
display the signs and have willingly
given assent.

that it would be best to remove there

WILSON WILL STUMP
At LEAST IN new YORK

New York, Aug. 23-President Will
son, it was learned today, will take
the stump, despite previous announce
ments to the contrary.
So far it is not his intention to go
on speech-making trip over the coun-
try, although he may decide to follow
the trail that Hughes has already
blazed across the continent. But to-
ward the middle of September, it is
said, the president will desert the
front porch of his summer home in
Long Branch and make tour of New
York state.
BY that time Hughes will have
made at least two speeches in New
York, and probably more, as he is
scheduled to speak at Syracuse Sep
tember II, if Hughes opens up, and
his friends have promised he will,
plans for Wilson to speak IN some, If
not all, of the states where the Re-
publican candidate appears are being
considered.

Columbus, Aug. 24-With even Gov

support Of many heretofore faithful
Republicans, ordering an investigar
ton of their arbitrary increasing Of
$1,000 tax returns, County Auditor
Valentine notifying them that he
will refuse to put these "inflationi'
on the duplicate unlesG ordered by
court, and Prosecutor Duncan an
nouncing that the grand jury viii
probe their methods, members Of the
Franklin county board of revision yes
terday were completely at bay.
Realizing that their work of tho,
last eight weeks, which has cost the,
county close to $4,000 and caused In
dignation to run high among taxpay-
ers, may come to naught and thar
they may be ousted from Office In an
effort to avoid further embarrassment
to the state administration, the board
members have decided to 'sit tight"
at the same time hiding behind the
skirts of the state tax commission.
There's where they got Instructions
as to how to proceed, they declare.
But the indication yesterday was
that the state tax commission win
squirm by refusing to assume respon-
sibility. Its members might be In
cluded in a dismissal order, it was
feared, If they tell the governor that
they outlined the revision program Of
the local board, that it did as direct

traitor News From Court

The shades of Davy Crockett linger
around the recent appeal to the court
of appeals, of the matter Of j. HI. Raw
ley versus Wasson Price, reports the
Newark American-Tribune.
Just how far men will go ahead
when they think they are right was
hardly contemplated by the hero Of
''The Alamo" when he said: BE sure
you are right then go ahead" The
case of Rawley versus Price has been
sixteen years in litigation and the
costs to each party reaches into the
thousands Of dollars.
They are farmers in Lima township.
Each owns the half Of an original tract
and the piece was divided before they
secured it. The line between them is
in dispute and the strip of land, ex-
cept for a ditch and water right is
probably worth, at current prices, less
than $40. The case has been tried
in common pleas court six different
times. 1t has been as many times in
the court of appeals and has been
twice given hearing in the supreme
court of Ohio. This last start again
for the supreme court comes about
in peculiar way.
Some months ago both parties to
the litigation came into court and
agreed on a board of arbitration, a
board consisting of civil engineers.
The county surveyors of Knox and
Fairfield counties and Ex-Surveyor A.
r. Pitser of this county comprised the
board. The court gave them specific
instructions as to how to proceed. 1t
is now urged by the appellant that they
did not proceed as the court directed.
To be brief, however, the board of
arbitration failed to make unani-
nous report. One of the gentlemen
fled a minority report and the case
will go to the court of appeals on the
contention that the majority report
was not made In accordance with the
courts instruction.

Frank Mcdonald, a young glass
worker of Utica, was before the ju-
venile court Of Licking county recent
ly, charged with contributing to the
delinquency of Goldie Barcys, his a.

Mcdonald explained to the court
that the girl had been sent away from

ate. She had been keeping late hours
and during the warm weather she had
been sleeping out at nights ON the

discipline. She had left and gone to
her grandparents home east of the ci-

The man Mcdonald was attempting
to pay for home in Utica on minor
wages and the court will make on ef-
