Yes, we get no bridge on North 3rd

time to come. This is due to the
kindly CD interest on the part of a
few Middletown real estators in the
welfare of the general public of the
county. Any time one wants to go
to Middletown or the northern part of
the county via Third street all he can
do is go as far as the street runs and
then drop into the river, otherwise he
must go about two miles around.

A TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL

Things are looking good for the
establishment of a tubercular hospi-
tai in Butler county. This is judged
from the great interest displayed in
the subject during the campaign for
the boxing show given for the bene-
fit of the kiddies 7. B. camp Labor
is lining up behind the movement
solidly, and what labor goes after it
usually gets. With more than $4,000
to start off with and the labor fur
nished free by union workmen, and
which would be worth more than
another thousand dollars, the camp to
be built for the kiddies will be more
than of a temporary kind and will
prove the nucleus of a permanent
hospital for the tubercular of Butler
county. This is the prediction of
those interested in the project and
they are more than enthusiastic over
it, and enthusiasm as a rule brings
success. Here's hopin'.

EXCESSIVE PROFITS
|. IN BAKING INDUSTRY

New York. Just as the nation is
discussing excessive profits in the
baking industry, the General Baking
Company unconsciously furthers this
agitation by its 1928 report.
Net profits during this period were
$5, $50, the largest in the COM
pany's history, and 20 per cent more
than in 1922, more than double 1921
and four times the earnings of 1920
If the company was not far-sighted
in 1922, and failed to issue two stock
dividends, their 1923 profits would be
over $16O share. BY increasing the
amount of stock, however, profits, per
share, is greatly reduced, and is less
liable to attract attention.

WORKERS PENSION
LEADS

New York,-The steel trust an
nounces that it has paid s1,448,112 in
pensions to "more than 1000 employ
es" during the past year.
If the number were exactly 4,000
this would mean an average pension
of 1852 for the year, or $6.98 per week
If the pensioners total more than a )
000-which is quite probable-the av-
erage is less.
The public press makes friendly
comment on this paternalism of the
steel trust, that is committed to the
anti-union shop.
As against this pension, stands the
pension of So a week which the In
ternational Typographical union pays,

AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES

Rialto, Sunday Black Oxen
Corinne Griffith, who is co-featured
with Conway Tearle in Frank Lloyd's
production, "Black Oxen" First
National picture, coming to the Riaito
for five days starting Sunday, got her
start in filmdom by presenting her
qualifications at the psychological mo-
ment, and then proving that she was
entitled to all of the consideration
which was accorded her.
A year in short reel features was
! her start. "The Lost Man." "Love
Watches" and miss Ambition" were
among Miss Griffith's first screen
plays. Then came season as lead
ing lady for Earle Williams, then
co-stardom with Mr.. Williams and
independent stardom in pictures. At
the completion of her long contract,
| Miss Griffith was featured with Con-
way Tearle in "The Common Law
and then featured in the film version
of Elinor Glyn's "Six Days.
Miss Griffith and her critics agree
that "Black Oxen" has given her
greater opportunity to display her
real talents, grace and beauty, than
any photoplay she has yet appeared
| in.
The added attraction will be one of
4
the greatest novelty features ever
made, entitled 'Frogland." 1t requir-
ed two years to make it.
Rialto, Friday and Con
quering the Woman"
Florence Vidor implores the ladies
| to uphold her position in "Conquering
| the Woman" which is the feature at
traction at the Rialto theatre Friday.
Always she had been allowed to have
her own way by her indulgent father
and now, when it comes to the great
est decision of her life-her choice of
husband-father interferes!
Would you tolerate such interfer-
ence? Would you like being stranded
on a South Sea island for three
months Would you let your spirit
be broken? Your will bent? Your
/ independence threatened?
"Conquering the Woman" is serious
in theme but humorous in it's treat
ment. King w. Vidor directed his
beautiful and charming wife.
The added features are Fighting
Blood" and Fox comedy entitled
| 'Poor Fish," and Rialto News.

PRIVATE COMPEN-
SATION URGED
BY BUSINESS MEN

Washington,-Business interests in
this city and throughout the nation

Fitzgerald compensation bill, which
prohibits private concerns from writ
ing compensation to injured workers
in the District of Columbia.
Business men favor the Underhill
bill, which permits private concerns
writing this insurance. These advo-
Gates declare that congress has no
right to injure private business-the
business of living off the injuries and
misery of helpless workers.

GERMAN CHILDREN


stances which follow in the wake Of
the war that little children, who have
had no share in making war, and the
crippled and helpless persons of ma
ture years, suffer most from the
after-effects of the conflict. Atten-
tion is directed to the movement which
is headed by Gen. Henry 7. Allen,
who was in charge of the American
occupational forces in the Rhine dis
trict, and who is welcomed visitor
to Dayton today This movement is
making urgent appeal to the SYM
pathy of the American people. AS
facts are presented to disclose the
extent of the distress among Ger
man children, it is apparent that re-
lief work in the United States under
Gen. Aliens able direction must be
rushed. Official figures show that
in Germany between 100000 and
100000 children of school age and
under, face starvation The present
economic conditions which obtain in
Germany make it impossible for the
L - he
minimum food requirements OF its
population Contrary to generally
accepted beliefs the weather. class in
Germany have not withheld their sup
port to enterprises designed to re-
lieve suffering.
Each American state has beer
given a proportion of the total sum
which it is proposed to raise for saw
ing child life in Germany-namely
$10,000,000 In Ohio the quota is
s75o,0OO
Gen. Allen has said, and said
truthfully, that America never wag-
ed war on children Under such ar
inspiring challenge the American peo.
pie must rise to the opportunity that
now is presented to them. In the midst
of plenty in the United States we
must not forget that to whom much
has been given much shall be re
quired. The demand in Germany
brooks no delay If we are going te

The best way to drive hatred out of
this old world and svpplant it with
