Gov. DOnahey's Plans
Likely to Be Needed

Columbus, O.-There is more than
surface indications that the members
of the general assembly, although
completely controlled by the Republi-
cans will heed some of the sugges-
tions of Governor Donahey. If this
be true his appointments will be
quickly confirmed, and his legislative
program outlined in his address to
the joint session of the two bodies.
The Inauguration ceremonies are to
be very simple. The oath of office
will be given by Chief Justice Mar
shall, and then the governor will ad-
dress the joint session. Following
this reception may be. held insthe
rotunda of the state house. A num-
Der of important recommendations
are to be made by Governor Donahey
in his message, one of the important,
it is said will be the recommendation
for changes in the Davis administra-
ton bill. The old board of admins
tration will be recommended to sue
ceed the present director of public
welfare, to have charge of all state
institutions. 1t will be bipartisan,
the members serving for one, two,
three and four years each, and there
after all appointments to be made for
term of four years. 1t is also in
dicated that the governor will ask
that the Orient branch of the Colum-
bus hospital for feeble minded, and
the London prison farm be made sep
arate institutions with their own
managing officers and complete staff
This is favored by many state organ
izations interested in public welfare,
and could be brought about virtually
without additional cost to the state
government.

looming UP on the horizon.
The taxpayers this fall are going

of this county are far below normal,
and then to make it worse, the Board
of Equalization, now sitting in
Philippi are reducing the valuations
on Coal and Coal Lands. If the citi-
zens of this county have any "kick"
in them, they had better begin show
ing it now, for soon the Board of
Equalization will be thru with their
sittings, and the Levying Bodies will
be called together to set the levies
and when all these bodies have per-
formed their legal duties, it will be
to late to Kick"

Plainly showing their ordeal of
sorrow, the mother and father left

Don't swim if overheated.
Don't swim until exhausted.
Don't swim if you have heart
trouble.
Don't swim near the outlet Of a
sewer. At least, go in above the
outlet.
Never swallow stream water no
mater how clear. Practically all
streams contain typhoid germs.
Don't dive without accurate know
ledge of the depth of the water.
Don't struggle if caught in swift
current or undertow; the force of the
current will bring you to the surface
Don't wade into the water with
arms over your head; you will not
be ready to stroke if you step into a
hole.
Don't lean backward when wading
into the water; always be ready to
fall forward.
Don't cry for help in fun; you may
some time need help and not get it.
Don't fail to learn the Red Cross
|life-saving and resuscitation methods
Be capable of saving yourself and
your companions.
Don't go in swimming alone unless
you are an expert.
For Canoeists
Don't go canoeing if you can't
swim.
1t is not necessary to pull into
the waves back of steamboat to
show that you can handle a canoe.
Paddle quickly to the shore if you
have a passenger who thinks it funny
to rock the only foundation between
you and death.
1t might be well to repeat for the
millionth time-be satisfied with the
seat you took when you started.
If you do capsize, don't try to
climb back into the canoe; not many
can do it.
Don't grab for anybody's neck.
When the canoe rises, just lay your
hands OH it and rest.
A paddle will do just as well. By
holding the paddle before you in the
water, you can keep af1oat until help
comes.
Keep a cool head If you can't
do this, stay out of canoe.
