MOTOR VEHICLE
REGISTRATION IN 1921

Motor vehicle registrations for the
past year obtained from the various
states by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Co. show there are now 9.274 500
passenger cars and trucks in use
throughput the United States one for
every 11.8 persons. This is an in
crease Of ! 570.904, or pig per cent,
over Dec. 81, 1919 when there were
l,9O4,O motor vehicles registered.
The gain during the past year was
greater than that of any previous
year and is considered exceptionally
remarkable by officials of the auto
motive industry in view of the ad-
verse business conditions throughout
the country during the last part of
1920 The largest previous gain was
] ,457 ,399 in 1919.
Every state N the Union showed a
gain during the year, Virginia lead
ing with 51.1 per cent, and Tern
sast with IA per cent. The majority
Of states showed Increases rang ng
from 18 to 24 per. cent In a gen
eral way, the figures show agricul-
tural states made better gains than
industrial states.
The race beween New York and
Ohio for supremacy in the number of
motor vehicles has again turned n
New York's favor The mid year
registrations last summer showed
Ohio leading by 81 GOO csrs and It
was thought it would maintain its
lead for the entire year. Thousands
of New York owners reg: stored later,
however, and the final figures showed
New York with 692 TIA and Ohio vs,th
618,0G0.

Among the statements made by
Mayor Harry l.. Davis in his address
III Wluseon last fall were these: Il
Em going to be your governors" 81
am going to save the state of Ohio
not only thousands of dollars bet
hu dreds of thousands of dollars
Speaking of the prohibition laws he
sad in effect, II shall see that the
laws of the state are enforced and
nal co operate in every way posi-
BILE with the agents of the Federal
u .4rnment in enforcing the Fed
eral Prohibition laws in the State
OF Ohio"
1t is a matter of satisfaction TO
those who placed their confidence in
.flvis and were actively engaged
in supporting him during the cam
paign, that now that the first state
ment has been fulfilled and Mayor
Davis is now Governor Davis, he has
{ procrastinatedI in carrying out
the rest of the statements, but has
be"un at once to make the plans for
reduction of the cost of administ
the government of the State.
The daily press has made the ac-
tions taken by Cover lor Davis a
matter of common knowledge to the
people of the. state so that a detailed
statement of the Governors activi-
t'es up to date is unnecessary here.
Governor Davis manifested his sound
bushes judgment in securing such
experts as General Goethals, without
st;cr tho nations best engineer,
if not the best in the world, to ad-
y q i'll regard to the State Highway
ipcnartment: Mr.. Frazier from Illinois
for suggestions pertaining to the
reorganization of the various admin
istrative departments.
The summary repudiat' on of
eleventh hour contracts and appoint
ments authorized or made by ex-gov-
O. or Cox is undoubtedly in the in
terests both of economy and efficien-
cy nnd the Governor is to be COM

The Board of Education with their
architect met at the High School
building last Monda,{ evening, a
number of citizens were also present
and the project of new building to
accommodate the rapidly growing WaI-
seon High School was presented and
discussed.
The architects preliminary plans
were shown and an estimated cost cf
1925, 200 announced. The matter of
finances was pretty well discussed and
the suggestion made that auditorium
and gymnasium may be eliminated
from the plans thus avoiding plunging
the village so deeply in debt.
The matter of location was another
question on which there were differ
ences of opinion. The bones of the
ancient skeleton of the North and
South Side controversy" were
brought out and shaken. Finally a
committee consisting of six from the
North Side and six from the South
Side were selected to determine upon
which side of the New York Central
tracks the building ought to be To-
Gated. From our own point of view,
if this committee would forget which
side of town they represented and
determine upon the location which
would best suit the convenience of
the school children of the community
as a whole, taking into consideration
economy, efficiency and the greatest
possible service to the largest posi-
BILE number; that committee would
be deserving of niche in the Hall
of Fame.
The meeting on Monday night was
comm'endable: there ought to be more
of them and they ought to be attend
ed by a larger number of citizens.
No community should involve itself
in financial obligations to the extent

WAUSEON HI
LOSES TWO GAMES

Thursday night January goth, the
W. H. S. basket ball team iourneyed
to Montpelier, Montpelier team had a
good record and were as determined
to keep up that record as the Wau-
seon players were to spoil it.
The game started out very well.
the score at the end of the first half
was 19 to ID in favor of Montpelier.
was SO to 18 in favor of Montpelier
simply quit playing basketball. They
couldn't have won game of marbles
that night. What the trouble was,
was not apparent but we do know
that it was not the old fighting team
the night of January goth.
Saturday night January 22nd the
team from Bluffton Hi played Wau-
seon. As preliminary the Chester
field team defeated the w. H. S.
Freshmen 21 to 20 in a hot and
closely contested game.
The big game. started about $780,
For several minutes neither team
made basket. then Bluffton got
started and made seven points on
three field goals and a fowl. Then
Tedrow broke the ice and made a
fowl for Wauseon. This started
things and soon the game was close
the score at the end of the 1st half
was 9 to s in favor of Bluffton.
The second half see-sawed back and
forth. First Wauseon would be in
the lead a point or two and then
Bluffton would be, the whistle blew,
however, when Bluffton won, "a to 81.
It was the fastest and most excit-
ing game played on the local floor
this year. The fellows played real
basket ball too. Some different than
the Montpelier game. Short was
out because of a bad leg. Schnall
took his place at guard and played a
good game The next home game is
Friday night with Pioneer.

GOVERNOR. ii DAVIS IN ACTION.
Carrying Out His Pre- Election
That He Is More Than Man of Words by
Vigorous Action

mended for his action in this matter.
The General Assembly is now at
work on the program of reorganiza-
tion which the Governor with the aid
of the experts he has called to his
assistance has outlined; citizens of
the State may rest assured that the
result will be the elimination of waste
and extravaganza and increased eff
cheney in the several departments nf
the state government. There does
not appear anywhere upon the pro-
gram any effort to cut out any essen
! or really beneficial service to the
c5tizenry of the state, but rather to
cut out unnecessary and useless ex-
pense.
An expert not mentioned in the
foregoing, Mr.. Gaylord C. Cummin,
IS responsible in part at least, for a
bill reported by the Joint Legislative
Committee ION administrative Re-
organization, which provides for the
printing of lighter forms and small
eel tions of state printing by mimeo-
graph, which will effect an estimated
saving of 100000. AS illustration
of the saving that may be made in
the matter of State printing and the
increase in efficiency by the passage
of this bill, Mr.. Cummin calls atten-
ton to the printing of the list of
anrom0bile registration numbers as
follows:
"The list of automobile registra-
ton numbers which are printed for
the information of police depart
ments, sheriffs, etc., should be issued
in the present promptly to be of ser
wee or use. Although over 100000
numbers have been issued in the
present year (192O) the last number
in lists published to November. 1st
was $4,000. This is a very expen-
sive publication consisting of an edi-
ton of 200 in "a volumes, at cost
of approximately 5000 per volume or
total of $21, 800 and nearly half will
be absolutely useless when published.

"U" STUDENTS ALREADY CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP

SEATTLE, April 22 (hy Associated Press). - University Of Washington students already are claiming the baseball championship of the north west Conference for their varsity nine this year.
 The Washington nine of 1920 was not hit hard by graduation and it really gained more material from the freshman team of last year than it lost By the four-year route.
 According to reports from other conference schools, the Oregon agri- cultural college team will be strong this year but the Washington state college and the University of Oregon hines may not loom up strong in the pennant race.
 No Pacific Coast conference base. ball championship will be fought for this year as Stanford university and the University of California; the two
