TO ROUND UP sLACKERs
District Attorney Bolin and Attorney
General McGhee to Map Out
Plan For Action

District Attorney Bolin and Attor-
ney Genral McGhee conferred at Col
umbus, Tuesday evening, to map out
a plan for rounding up slackers in
Ohio 1t is probable that instruc-
tions will be issued to local authori-
ties to take the initiative in causing
arrests, and that If they fail to do
their duty the state will step in and
act
Persons who have knowledge o.
slackers and fail to inform the au-
thorities will be in danger of arrest
then selves. Persons who protect
slackers by failing to report them
will be regarded as enemies of the
government and will be dealt with
accordingly.

LIMA SPEEDWAY
Making Preparations for Fine Pro-
gram ON Fourth-EXpect TO Have
Many Fast Drivers

The Lima Speedway Co. have ar
ranged for the 4th of July a program
of automobile races which Will be
far in excess of any ever held by the
company in Lima or any other town
The company this date are raising the
customary purse from $1,000 to
$500. This will bring more cars
and drivers than have ever been seen
at one time on a half mile track. 1t
will be remembered that last year at
the races there were from IL to IA
good fast cars but this year with the
increased purse more drivers and
faster field of cars will be entered.
The management announces that
they are in correspondence with driv-
ers from Detroit, Chicago, Indiana
polls, Toledo, Pittsburgh and Terra
Haute. The entries open on the 14th
and it is expected that the mail will
find not less than dozen of the fast
est ones entered. One thing sure
Herb Rudy, Lima speed demon and
Ohio State Champion will have to go
faster this time than ever to retain
his title should he enter.
One thing that will make the races
more interesting is the fact that this
year the races are to be classified ac-
cording to the speed they make in
the trials This will give the faster
cars a better chance and slower ones
a better chance in race for them
selves. 1t will lessen the danger of
the races and also make faster time
for the winners. Every race will be
a race The Management announces
that the general admission will be the
same as always soc.

OLD JOHNS RECORD

Old John Barleycorn has made bet
That he'll raise hell if the state goes
wet;
He always has and he always will,
When men tank up on his bottled
swill.
He's brave old scout in his coat of
mail,
With the flower of his army in the
county Jail
He shouts with glee as he roams
about,
And views the rags that his shops
turn out.
As brute to be stunned he can skin
alive
a Zeppelin raid or a Russian drive.
l will recite some deeds that he has
done
To curse this world and make life
bum.
He can wreck more homes and cause
more grief,
And rob more men of their daily
beef,
And cause more women to dig and
scrub,
And bust their backs on an old wash
tub,
And drive more men from homes to
caves,
And make more widows and dig more
graves,
And force more men to pounding
rocks,
And pawn their coats and pants and
socks.
And all more prisons and pack more
jails,
And turn more joy to bowling walls;
He can swell more heads and make
more fools,
And keep more kids from attending
schools,
And drive more men from the proper
course,
And cause their wives to seek divorce,
And break more laws and hatch more
crime,
And start more men to serving time.
He robs this earth of it's brightest
pearls
When he wrecks the lives of our boys
and girls;
When the stan of their hopes to the
earth has sunk,
And oil their efforts have turned out
punk,
He fills the roads with hobo shirkers,
And robs the farmers of willing work
ers.
He takes good men from the dairy
barns
And sends them out to the county
farms.
He fills the cities with prOstitutions
That damns mems souls and consti-
tutions;
He peels the shirt from the babies
backs
And covers them over with old jute
sacks,
And buries their bones in the potter
fields,
He clothes up men in ragged breeches
And lays them down in roadside
bitches.
Where they can cuss and swear at the
fates
That makes them see wild cats and
snakes;
lie has taken the men who are law
abiding
And broken their necks while joy
riding.
lie has filled the earth with suicides,
And made grass widows of last .7ear's
brides;
And so we could go till the crack of
doom,
And cite more deeds if We had room.
lie has done all these and you can bet
He'll bust his record if the state goes
wet.
10 don't be tail to the devils drag
on,
But get a seat on the water wagon.

DISTILLER NOT WORRIED
Plants viii Be Busy Making Indus
trial Alcohol,

FIdntS VIII be BUSY Making lnuuS-
trial Alcohol.
New York The commercial name
for the whisky trust is the Distillers'
Security Corporation. 1t controls
more than a hundred distilleries, dis
tributing houses, etc. The President
Of the trust is julius Kessler.
Mr.. Kessler is not greatly worried
over Prohibition. He evidently be-
lieves it is coming, for he says that
his company is preparing for it and
that if it does come, the trust will
continue t. have big field in the pro-
duction of alcohol for industrial pur-
poses. Mr.. Kessler says that at a
small cost, grain distilleries can be
adapted to the manufacture Of de-
natured alcohol from molasses
If this is true, where does confisca-
tion come in? Distilleries can go
right on making money and breweries
can easily turn their plants into can
neries, packing houses, ice plants, etc.
This is exactly what they are doing.
Liquor men themselves are proving
the futility of the compensation ar
gument.

every child born In Ohio will have a
new birthright-the right of a certi-

made the registration, all right The
parents of the child never knew un-
less they made special inquiry But
now the registrar is to mail to the

HARD NUT TO CRACK

Three and a half per cent. inter
est on war bonds seems too low to
tempt investors. SO persons with
money to spare are urged to buy on
patriotic grounds But if purchase
of these bonds is a patriotic duty,
Why should any interest at all be Of
fered! And why SHOULD the volun-
teer system be retained in securing
funds, when it has been discarded in
securing men?-The Public.

A nail not driven entirely in and
which has become SO rusted that it
cannot be withdrawn without breaking
a hammer handle will come out easily
If it is struck a smart blow first. The
same holds true with a screw. If it
will not turn out try turning it in first.
These suggestions may not always
work, but many times the trouble may
be overcome by their use. - Popular

state after dark must bear lights fore
and aft, powerful enocgh to be seen

exemptions are wagons designed for

fire being the reason for exemption in
these cases. A law enacted by the
legislature last winter goes into ef-

be displayed one hour after sunset
and until daylight.
The new automobile speed law goes
