PROCLAMATION

During the period of thawing and
excessive moisture in the late win
ter and early spring months. the
improved roads of the state are
subject to destruction or great dam
age by reason of the transportation
of excessive loads upon them.
Such damage annually entails a
great loss to the people of Ohio.
Proper maintenance of improved
roads is as important as the con-
struction of new highways Preven-
tion of destruction is maintenance
as truly as the repair of roads after
damages have occurred
Under the law, the maximum per-
missible load of ten tons. including
the weight of the vehicle, is .equir
ed to be reduced by 25 per cent
during the period of which thaws or
excessive moisture render the i'm
proved roads of the state liable to
damage by heavy traffic. During
such period the maximum load per-
mitted on the imp ploved highways
If the state is seven an4t one-haH
tons, including the weight of the
vehicle. This limitation is effective
beginning Feb. 20, on all improved
highways of Ohio. Violations of
the laws are subject to severe penal
ties.
Therefore, as Governor of Ohio, I
ask for the cooperation of all per-
sons, firms or corporations engaged
in the operation of motor vehicles,
i'll strict observance of the law
limiting the maximum load which
may be transported on the high
ways, 1t is the duty of the sheriffs
of the counties to enforce these lin
itations.
The law must be rigidly enforced
and all public spirited citizens
should assist officials to the end
that Ohio's great investment in her
system of public highways may be
properly conserved.
In Witness Whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Ohio to
be affixed in the city of Columbus,
this 14th day of February in the
year of our Lord, 1924.

Miss Hutson Entertains AT Dinner

Miss Hutson Entertains AT Dinner
Miss Marian Hutson was hostess
at charmingly appointed valentine
dinner at the hotel Kennebec last
Thursday evening. The table was
attractive with its decorations of
candles and hearts. An elaborate
three course chicken dinner was
served, during which delightful
music was furnished by trio COM
posed of Eleanor Erwin and Edgar
and Dean Northrup. The usual kind
ness and thoughtfulness of Mrs.
Agnes McVeigh added much to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
The guests included Misses Minnie
johnson, Lois Carman, Margaret
Stover, Katherine Dague, Emma
Lee Stewart and Hollis Lenhart.
Following the dinner theatre
party was enjoyed at the twin city
opera house.
We understand that the affair
noted above was the result of COM
pact among these young ladies, that
whichever of them first became en-
gagged, was to treat the others to a
chicken dinner. AS Miss Hutson
happened to be the first it fell to
her lot to become hostess to the
others as indicated Her engage
ment to Mr.. Frank Gray has recent
ly become known.

Mrs. Nora Miller arrived at her
home in Malta Tuesday, after having
spent four weeks in Chicago where
she went with her sister Mrs. Omar
Dye of this place. Mrs. Dye went
to consult specialists concerning a
sprained ankle which has been
troubling her for a long time. She
is reported as improving consider
ably, and as now being able to get
about with the aid of only one
crutch, whereas she had to use two
before she left here. The treatment
she is taking is Swedish massage,
administered by woman specialist,
and also the itinic ray treatment.

ALL SET FOR TTsI-COUNTY
B. B. TOURNAMENT HERE

Everything is well shaped up for
the Glass B, tri-county basket ball
tournament which will be held here
Friday. Feb %, at the armory.
This will be the first such tourna-
ment ever held here, and 1t will pe
an attraction worth while. Among
the teams will be Pleasant City,
Marietta Junior Hi, New Matamor-
as. Lowell, Stockport, and M. e. M.
second team. 1t looks like these
teams are evenly matched. Pleas
ant City, it will be recalled, de-
feated our first team, and Marietta
Junior Hi defeated Pleasant City.
Then New Matamoras defeated Mar
ietta Junior, and then it was re-
fversed, Marietta taking over New
Matamoras. Lowell and New Mat
amoras, have also played two games,
each winning one; then Stockport
had no trouble in taking over our
M. &c M. seconds. So it is matter
for speculation as to which team
will carry off the honor.
The preliminaries will start at 10
a. M, the semi-finals at q. M, and
finals at $3.50. The admission to
the whole tournament will be 81
and to a single session soc. Let's
everybody come out and boost high
school basketball.

Saturday evening about $50
when Mr.. Daniel Head was return
ing from here to his home off the
Marietta pike, about a mile out, he
found his home in flames, and he
only succeeded in saving a dresser,

Our New Linotype Being Installed

Our New Model Eight linotype is
being installed this week, COM
mencing Tuesday, when the old ma
chine was torn down and the new
one put up in it's place, thus no type
was set on Tuesday, one of the days
when we ordinarily set the most.
This change, of taking down the
old machine, and putting up the
new one, has caused the composing
room to be in state of topsy turvy
so altogether this issue has been put
out at considerable disadvantage.
We make this explanation so it will
be understood why some news may
have been left out. The machine is
a dandy, and next week and there
after, we expect everything to be
running along smoothly, and in bet
ter shape than ever
