Who's Cox? This Tells

James Middleton Cox was three
times governor of Ohio-an honor
enjoyed by only one other Ohioan
Rutherford B. Hays.
Born on farm, educated in the
public schools, a printers devil
school teacher, newspaper reporter
private secretary to a congress
man, owner, manager and proprietor
of two newspapers, member of con-
gress for tire years and three times
governor of his state is his record to
date
Business success parallelled his po-
litical achievements and through his
own Efforts Cox has amassed a for
tune. Mr.. Cox became the leader of
the Democratic party in Ohio in 1912
when he was nominated for govern
or. AS one who had brought radical
changes in the state constitution, he
ftook the field himself in its behalf
His first term as governor was de-
voted chiefly to forwarding the enact
ment of laws to put the new state
constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not prepar-
ed to assimilate all the new laws for
Cox was defeated for reelection. But
his party renominated him in 1916
and he was reelected for a third
term in 1918, being the only Demo
crat in Ohio to win.

Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
workmen's compensation law and a
child labor law which have been ex-
tensively copied by other states. Ed
ucators of the country say the Ohio
school Code enacted under Governor
Cox's direction will live as monu-
ment to his achievements.
Mr.. Cox was born in Butler coun-
ty, Ohio, in 1870. He attended dis
trict school and held his first position
as a teacher of the school in which
h etook his first lessons. He spent
evenings and holidays in printing
office In a few years he received
his first assignment on the reporter
ial staff of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
After 10 years with the Enquirer
he went to Washington as a private
secretary to Congressman Paul Sore
of Ohio. At the close of this ser
vice, he purchased the Dayton Daily
News, borrowing most of the money
to pay for it. Later hepurchased the
Springfield DOaily News. He was
first elected to Congress in 1908.
He recently purchased the farm
near Jacksonburg upon which he was
born, and is making it into a modern
affirm home where he expects to live
on retirement from public Office. He
is married and has four children.

Next is the jaunt to the summer

spent at the summer resort hotel will
put you in a class with those who
pay double-jointed rent all year.

And then there's the vacation spent
with relatives. This always proves
huge success with both parties-when
you're leaving. The vacation with rel
atives offers a chance to renew old
family-in-law squabbles and have
something to chin about the rest of
the year.
Now, after going through this col
lection of vacation suggestions, if
you don't find one that settles the
question, and decide to spend the va
cation at home, you are right, both in
mind and pocketbook.

WHERE will l spend my vaca-
w tion?" is the popular question
under the public's Panama. In order
to tighten the thinking of many of
my customers have doped up a flock
of vacation suggestions, and the one
that bitches with your fancy and
purse, mark off with a hemstitched
X.
The way to pick out a vacation is
to go at it Systematically. Study out
the features that would be totally
different from your daily routine,
such as exertion, comfort and appe-
tite. F'rinstance, there's camping.
With camping, there's little exertion
and less comfort, but your appetite
outgrows your napkin, and you don't
get enough to eat until you get home.

The Greatest Moth
er Tenderly Treated
RED CROSS REPORT
~ SHOWS GOOD WORK
High Point Red Cross Workers Have
Assisted Hundreds During
Past Two Years


One hundred and sixty-two ex-sol-
diers were assisted in securing bonus
and over $4,000 was spent by the
High Point home service section of
the American Red Cross during the
influenza epidemic here, according to
report submitted by the secretary,
Mrs. Martha NeWlin. In her report
Mrs. Newlin gave brief review of
the work of the organization during
the past two years
The report showed that the Red
Cross workers assisted the wives and
mothers of service men. The work,
the secretary said, was altogether
among the soldiers and their fami-
lies. The territory covers the entire
township and there is not a needy
family so far away that it cannot be
reached by the Red Cross workers.
Hundreds of homes were visited and
many clothes were given to people in
dire need Of such. Cheering words
were offered to the Respondent, the
report indicated.
During the influenza epidemic the
Red Cross workers of High Point did
not confine their work to caring for
service men and their families, but
rendered invaluable service to people
of every walk of life. Last year So
families were furnished with nurses.
Med-~-Ae, soup and bed clothing were
assisted in gaining admittance to
hospital and that $43 was paid out
for one hospital bill.
Notkonly has the local chapter of
the American Red Cross done work
in High Point township, but it has
served people in all parts of the world
by sending money to other chapters
to be used in caring for those needing
care. Relief work was done in other
countries and referred to with pride
by Mrs. Newlin in her report. In
the allied countries at the close of
the war, she said, one million orphans
were cared for by the Red Cross. The
organization also helped to care for
1000 war babies, the secretary said,
in conclusion.
Local citizens, who have heard of
the work donexpy the Red Cross, de-
clare the report to be the best ever,
submitted by Red Cross worker in
High Point and Mrs. Newlin is being
commended for the splendid work
done here.
