Central America was the topic Of
the clubs program at Mrs. Rusk's
Monday afternoon, Oct Is, and
proved very interesting.
Mrs. Adams description of the
Caribbean countries traced Spanish
influence in their manner of living.
She stated that some crops were
planted but not harvested, owing to
the excessive fertility of the soil
Finer grades of coffee are grown and
the coffee tree is protected by plant
ing banana trees between them. The
United Fruit Co. owns 10000 acre
banana tract, but has difficulty to
secure workers. Honduras is the
most backward of these states, and
Costa Rica the most progressive.
Reviewing the Santiago confer
ence. Mrs. Mercer said that political
issues were introduced for ethe first
time. Closer cooperation of all
American states was urged Am

TO THE TAXPAYERS OF NOR
GAN COUNTY

Your budget commission consist
ing of the Prosecuting Attorney,
County Treasurer and County Audi
tor, have adjusted the tax rates for
Morgan county within limitations,
as is done each year by this same
commission. But this year condi-
tions were such that we deem it
proper to make an explanation to
the taxpayers and tax levying pow
ers. At the last session of the Ohio
Legislature there was bill enacted
called the Williams Law, that re-
quires the boards of education of
each and every school district
requiring state aid to levy for
local expenses an aggregate amount
of 9h mills, mills Oh this being
outside of all tax limitations, leaving
61a mills inside limitations. Your
commission found if this was not
complied with, Morgan county
schools would lose between SO and
IS thousand dollars in state aid,
but in giving the schools this 6 u
mills inside limitations, all the 9th
er tax levying powers will have to
suffer. The county levy was cut the
lowest it has ever been, and town
ships and corporations likewise.
The county will have enough to
meet obligations but nothing more.
The corporations will have enough
to meet their debt requirements,
but nothing more The townships
will have a part of the money
levied for roads, but nothing
more. Feeling that the taxpayers
are entitled to know conditions OF
this kind and the reasons wherefor,
we make this public statement. -
BUDGET COMMISSION, of Nor
gan County.

Prospects Good for New Factory

Last Friday an agent from Cleve-
land was down to look over the two
towns with a prospect of purchasing
property for cordage factory.
Through Mr.. Chas. H. Archer of
Pennsville they have been posting
themselves regarding conditions
here in the two towns. We are in
formed that in all probability par
ties from the same concern, the
name of which we did not get, will
be back again this week. They
make all kinds of cords, from shoe
strings to all varieties of ropes. II
their plans are carried out they will
start in here in making a certain
kind of cordage, and if things move
along to their satisfaction, they will
move their entire factory down. The
company figures that as rents and
other overhead expenses are so high
in the cities, both for their factory
and their employees, that their bust
ness can be carried on in smaller
places just as well or better and the
overhead expense will be very much
less.

Birthday Surprise for w. J. Brothers

Saturday, Oct. IS, was the 51st
anniversary of w. j. Brothers. A
surprise dinner had been planned
for him, to be held on Sunday the
14th. Will was invited to take a
trip Sunday morning with James
Ferguson, to- Center Bend, which he
accepted. When he returned home
at the noon hour and found the road
side lined with automobiles and the
yard full of people, to say he was
surprised is putting it mildly, but
he fully recovered in time to take
care of his share of the dinner.
There was everything that goes to
make a good birthday dinner, and
it took a 20 foot table to hold it.
There were about 88 persons there,
friends and relatives from the sur
rounding and immediate vicinity.
Those from a distance were Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Hutchins and son, Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Hutchins and
daughter, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. w.
Hartley, all of GAINESVILLE. and Fred
Brothers and family of Malta. May
Will "live to see as many more
birthdays as he has seen," is the
wish of the writer.--XX.
