which will be conducted in the court
house public assembly hall. The meet
ing will consist OF morning, after
noon and evening session. the meet
ing will open at 9 o'clock and an hour
will be devoted TO registration.
The Rev. Frank L. Erect, general
secretary Ohio c. E. union, will ad-
dress each OF the three sessions of

president of the county union. Fay
Gardner, Eaton, is secretary.
Expect Big shrinkage.
Shrinkage of three million dollars
in the personal tax duplicate of Preble
county is indicated at this time, al
though complete returns are not in,
S. c. Fowler, taxing deputy in the Of
fee of County Auditor S. C. Hunt, says.
Final returns or reports from Eaton
and West Alexandria and the town
ships of Washington, Lanier and Mon
roe are the only taxing subdivisions
remaining out. They are among those
making heaviest returns.
The estimate is based upon compar-
isons with last year, from returns in at
this time. A loss of three million dol
lars in valuation would mean an aver
age decrease of Is percent.
Harrison township shows a loss of
S111,000 and Jackson township loss
of trifle over 100000.
