The Yorkvllle standpipe was the SUD-

J. S. Brice, Esq, called attention. tc
the fact that tho standpipe had been
condemned by. the grand. jury as dan

however, the original presentmentE OF

matter of record, 'and The .recommen-
dation had neve, been officially served
on the town council of Yorkvillc. )
Mr.; Brice went on to suggest that
under the. circumstances it would be
well to bring the matter to the attcn-,
ton Of the grand jury again and get
that body, if it should see proper to
make another recommendation.
Mr.. 7. C. Wilborn, who happened TO
be present, said that upon learning OF
the grand jurys condemnation of the
standpipe the town council had pur-
chased a suitable site near the pump
ing station for new standplpe; bGt
had taken no further action.

Brice, "is twenty-five years; or, at

The Bonus Bill.

1t is the Republicans, instead OF the
Democrats, who are now sweating over
the bonus bill. ''
Last year the Republicans were
taunting the Democrats and now the
Democrats are taunting the Republi-
cans.
Although neither party has any seri-
Gus objection to the passage Of this bill
by the other. party, neither party is
willing to shoulder the responsibility
for itself.
;. AS a. matter of fact there is very lit
tie common sense in the bill and there
is, lots Of buncoInbe; but that is some
thing, the soldiers cannot understand
anv more than child who is already
rorged. cannot understand why it
should not have any more candy:
OF course the passage of bill that
will give away from two to five billions
of money will demoralize the financial
situation to a tremendous extent, and
probably bring about conditions like
unto those of year ago. "
: One soldier who went into the SER
vice is as much entitled to a bonus as
any other soldier; but only a small pei
cent Of the soldiers would know any
thing better to do with the money than
"blow it in" and the ultimate beneht
would be to the kind Of people who got
the most direct benefit from the sacri-
fees the soldiers made during the war.
That is the truth; but we do not eX-
pect any good soldier to agree with u.s.
At the same time we do not want 10
be understood as advocating or oppos-
ing. the bonus bill. Neither; do we want
to be understood as being on the fence.
Frankly, we think that the passage
of the bill will do moro harm than
good.
But we have not been impressed
with any Of that bunk argument that
is being used against the passage Of
the BILL y !.
Certainly the gratis distribution OF
several billion dollars will disorgan1ze
the nations finances; but the disor-
ganization will be nothing like what
il would have been in another year
had it not been for the efforts OF these
soldiers in the war, and if they are not
entitled to the difference saved by them
we dot know why.
The argument against the soldier ac-
cepting dollars and cents pay for his
sacrifices is just more bunk, from the
fellow who wants to keep the dollars
and cents for himself rather than give
them to the soldier. That is about all.
The fellow who would withhold the
money for the moneys sake is ten
times more selfish than the fellow: VINO
would take the money
We told the boys when they wentito
the war that they. could have anything
thew wanted; but now that the danger
is over we have forgotten that prom
ise. We want the boys to be content
with the glory that they won.
Movie don't think it will be- best for
the country or for the soldier boys TO
pay out this bonus money and within
three wears after the money is palo
out, if not in a shorter time, we think
that a majority Of the boys Will be
agreeing with us.
But still if a majority Of the boys
say they want this money, we 40 not
sec how the country can dcccntly get
out Of giving it to them.

REPRl. lDED FOR
IGNORING COURT ORDER
Spencer Company Given go Days to
4 Satisfy Judgment.

Officers of the "A. B. Rim Co. OF
Spencer who were summoned to ap-
pear before the court on Saturday
March 19, and answer concerning the
property and assets Of the company
and failed to do SO, were reprimand-
ed by Judge Mcclure when they ap-
peared last Saturday morning, the
date to which the court continued the
hearing from the previous week. An
apology from the company officials
was accepted by the court, but they
were pointedly informed that an Or
der from the court means but one
thing.
The firm Of Bishop & Saunders
which in January secured judg-
ment against the A. B. Rim Co.
amounting to $68O.61, for lumber
furnished, filed an affidavit two weeks
ago alleging that the execution under
the judgment had been returned un-
satisfied, and alleged that the com
pany had both property and money
which should be applied on its in.
debtness. Also that the Spencer
Metal Products Co. and Geo. G. Bouth-
inon are indebted to the company, or
have property belonging to it.
n, AT the hearing last Saturday the
A. B. Rim Go. was given an exten.
sion Of sixty days in which to satisfy
the Judgment.

CHANGERS HAVE BIG
MEETING AT LITCHFIELD

Pomona Grange met with the Litch-
field Grange last Saturday. Although
the roads were almost and in some
instances quite impossible, the at
tendance was excellent; every grange
in the county was represented except
one, and members we're present from
Lorain and Cuyahoga counties.
n One of the outstanding features OF
the occasion was an address by State
Master L. ]. Tabor. In this talk Mr..
Tabor emphasized the necessity OF
organization and cooperation among
farmers to secure the benefits. to which
they are entitled. As result of this
cooperation he announced that the
grange and other farm organizations
had been able to reduce the price oi
16 per cent. acid fertilizer from $34 to
&1.50, delivered anywhere in Ohio ;al-
SO that they had been able to place
the largest order ever given for binder
twine, viz, 6,000, 900 pounds of twine
and 100000 pounds Of rope.
The speaker said that the taxation
question is one of the most important
questions before the people today, and
he brought out the fact that in the
state today there are bonds to the
amount of $500, 100000 which must be
paid by taxes. Another point made
was that only about one sixth Of tht
money<in Ohio is listed for taxation
agriculture is already paying ,ymor,
