Mr.. Taber refers to his home
county of Belmont where 100 per cent
of the farmers live in dry territory
but where the river towns are filled
with saloons. In two years that
county was dry under the Rose law
90 persons were sent to the peniten-
tiary. The past two years, with sa-
looms in the river towns, 68 persons
were convicted and sent to the peni.

without the farmers consent, and yet
they are taxed to help care for their

Takes Second Place in Ambition of
Mississippi Lass, Who is Studying
Aviation ut Celina

Miss Miriam Kremer is determined
to fly. Mentioned recently in these
columns as interested in the Ceiina
aviation school the young lady has
since determined, temporarily at
least, to fOrego her musical education
at the Cincinnati conservatory. Al
ter several trial flights this week, in
Guiding q Wednesday afternoon air
voyage to st. Marys and return, Miss
Kremer has returned to Cincinnati to
arrange her affairs for leaving the in
stitution and embarking in a COM
plete course in air navigation.
Miriam Kremer is a close personal
friend of Mary Gertrude Pauck, of
st. Marys. The two have been assO-
ciated in musical study at the Cincin-
natl conservatory. During visits at
the Pauck residence, Miss Kremer
emphasized her undivided interest in
aviation Learning of the neighbor-
ing aviation school, she made trip
thereto, became acquainted with the
MANAGEMENT and soon decided. The
decision is entirely her own. Her
parental family and friends are solid
phalanX against her taking up the
dangerous vocation; so much so that
the undaunted Miss feels rather
strongly over the lack of support in
her undertaking. On her return to
Cincinnati, she is expected for Wis
il at the Louis A. Pauck residence.
Those acquainted with Miss Kremer
speak of her fine appearance and
courtesy of manner.-St. Marys Ev-

KEEP LOOKING YOIING
It's Easy-If You Know Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is tc
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels--theres no need
of having a sallow complexion dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toLing up the liver
rd clearing the system Of impurities.

BUDGET
tcOntInusa from First Paael


penses for the first year are S220,OOO
for the general assembly, $4,000 for
slaughtered animals and 100000 for
submission OF the prohibition amend
rqent Still the first year expense is
but $19,651, 900, which is less than
that of the Willis year, OF which the
figures were S19,775,O00.
False economy was assailed and
recommendations for efficiency were
made. There was discussion of tax
matters and figures were given to
show that Ohio was one of the most
economically managed states in the
Union, the per capita cost here being
1854 as against S12.10 in Califor-
mia, 1925 for New York, $7.28 for
Massachusetts, S6.40 for Wisconsin,
aud $5.62 for Michigan. Recommen-
dation was made for Standardization
of salaries in keeping with the report
Of the efficiency commission. With
admission of too high salaries in
some instances in the past, there was
condemnation of those that are now
too low, and suggestion that reason
able medium De found.
The Governor discussed the bud
get for more than two hours in frank
open fashion and at the close of his
discourse was given a rising vote of
thanks, led on motion by Senator o..
Vollenweider, Republican floor lead
er, who is rendering helpful service
wherever possible, free from partisan
tinge, except where bound by party
pledge
For humane activities extension of
expenditures were recommended. Ad-
ditional help for the Industrial COM
mission was asked, and helpfulness
in the State Highway department
through a non-salaried board was re-
quested.
The State Board of Administration
is to have $1O,169,352.60, the great
est amount IN its history. To aid the
reduction of living cost it is suggest
ed that farmer aid be sought and the
state property be profitably cultivat-
ed. With hundreds of acres of bean
land lying waste the governor pointed
out the wisdom of raising instead of
buying a half million pounds of beans
annually. Provision is made for an
adequate building program, and for

STEPHEN
And "Silent Smith" Can Now Star the
Country Without Fear of
Molestation
Lima Daily News ]

Professor John J.. Cable handed
down an opinion to the County Board
OF Commissioners in which he states
that dead bodies in mummiied form
are property and the owner connot be
forced to buy them. The opinion
was requested by the commissioners
who sought tC make Steven Arm
strong lessee of Silent Smith, the
Whitley mummy inter the remains.
Armstrong had permit from the
city health board and later obtained
one from the state board of health to
exhibit the body as an educational
feature. Since that time, Armstrong
has been exhibiting the mummy at
fairs throughout the country and it
has proved big attraction wherever
shown, he says.
Silent Smith" was a county
charge and lived at the infrmary just
prior to his death. The late Under
taker Floyd Whitley took possession
of the body at the time of death and
embalmed it with his famous fluid,
which petrifies and holds in natural
shape any body provided circulation
of the fluid is obtained. Nose, an
other unidentified man, found mur-
dered in South Lima four years ago
is held as another example of the
workings of the fluid. Nose" has
been carried from one end of the
country to the other in the hopes of
having some one identify him. No
one has, as yet.
Armstrong now plans to turn "Si-
lent Smith" over to a medical college,
he says. After they have finished
with it, he will probably place it in
a museum.

elnnati.
Columbus, Ohio.-The uncovering
Of frauds and bribery by United
States officials in connection with last
falls election in Cincinnati, and the
numerous indictments and pleas OF
guilty again calls attention to the
claims of upstate citizens that fair
elections in Cincinnati are rare. Vot-
ers are pointing back in the history Of
that city to the tally sheet forgeries,
the Drake investigating committee,
and the second LeXow committee
which uncovered raids on the treas
ury. In each instance, pay dirt was
struck.
The temperance forces assert that
the recent evidence upholds their con-
tention that the drys did not have a
fair count in either the 1914 or 1915
statewide Prohibition campaigns.
Cincinnati has had election troubles,
whether Republicans or Democrats
were in control. Both parties in that
city are dominated by wet interests
and the drys declare a fair election is
difficult until the liquor traffic is
driven from the state.
