ACCOUNTANTS
BEGAN WORK ON CITY
BOOKS YESTERDAY
Two of the Best Expert Accountants
in Cincinnati Arrived Yesterday
and Immediately Began An
Investigation of the City's
Financial Affairs.

Two expert accountants from the ID.
E. Deckerback Audit Company, of Gin
cinnati, arrived here yesterday after
noon by automobile from Cincinnati
and shortly after their arrival tore off
their collars and ties, threw their
coats aside, rolled up their sleeves
and dived into the mass of figures on
the financial books of the city.
These gentlemen are instructed by
Mayor Russell, who employed them
on orders from the City Council, to
make a complete audit of the city's
accounts and draw UP complete re-
port of their findings which they will
submit to the City Council.
1t is expected that the experts will
finish their task in a few days and
they hope to have things in such con-
dition that they will be able to make
a very complete report at the regular
monthly meeting of the City Council
on the first Monday night in Septem-
Der.
The primary purpose in the present
audit is to find the exact amount OF
the alleged embezzlement of former
City Clerk George Wood Owens but
the audit will also show the general
condition of the citys books.

These young men have just gradu-
ated from the officers training school
at that camp and have been granted
a furlough of several days before they
are awarded their commissions as
Second Lieutenants in the United
States army and before returning to
take up their new duties as officers.
All three of the young men repre-
sent the best young manhood of the
city and county, They have been in
the. service but three months but in
that time they have demonstrated to
their superiors through their actual
service and through their special
course at camp, that they are above
the ordinary and are entitled to lead
men in the present war.
They are all receiving the hearty
congratulations of their many friends
here who knew they could make good
in khaki Just as we'll as they could
make good in citizens clothes.

BUTTONS ARE NOW
GETTING EXPENSIVE
Dover Button Factory Purchases
Large Shipment Of Deep Sea
Shells From Australia at
Fancy Price.

The Dover Button factory this week
received a large shipment of deep sea
shells from Australia only recently
received in this country by the par
ent company of the Mason county
concern. These shells will be made
into buttons by the factory as soon as
possible.
The price for which shells are now
selling indicates that the women folks
are going to be required to pay much
higher prices for the buttons they sew
on their clothes in the very near flu
ture. 1t is understood that this ship
ment of shells was purchased at a
cost of $2700 per ton which means
that the finished product will have to
be sold at much higher figure than
the present market price.
People throughout this section do
not realize the magnitude of the Do
yer factory. It's output Is wonderful
and it is now ranking as one of the
largest industries in all of Mason coun-
ty. The concern is owned by an East
ern firm which Is controlled by mil
lionaires and there appears to be a
bright future for 1t at Dover.

RULES As TO MARRIED
TEACHERS may CHANGE
Both City and County Boards Of Edu-
cation Feeling the Great Demand
For Young Men and Women
in Other Vacations May Be
Compelled to Change
Their Rules

A few days ago there was published
in the Public Ledger a statement from
Hon. p. p. Claxton, Commissioner of
Education of the United States Blu
reau of Education, in which he stated
that the rules closing out the married
women as teachers from the schools
of the country should be changed.
The publication of this statement
and the fact that both the city and
county school officials are now ex-
periencing no little trouble in getting
teachers, has brought to light the fact
it may be necessary in the very near
future for our local boards of educa-
ton to change their rules prohibiting
married women from teaching in the
schools.
The schools must have teachers in
some way and it is understood that
several splendid and capable married
women can be procured for the
schools and it is more than likely that
these rules will be changed.
