Nine Townships Under Green Law

Nine townships in Morgan county
have to date met the requirements
necessary to come under the Green
road law. Morgan, Marion, Union
and Homer have each received their
$1,000 from the state. Center,
Meigsville, Malta, Windsor and York
have put up their share, and will
soon receive their $1,000 from the
state
Under the arrangement the i'm
provement is figured on a cost of
$4,000 per mile. Of this the state
gives $1,000; abutting property own
ers 1919, or $500 per mile The
county gives the proceeds of the spe-
cial 2-mill levy, and the township
takes care of the balance

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
TREE HERE

We are glad to announce that
We are to have a community
Christmas tree. The idea is
being sponsored by the local
American Legion, and they ask
the cooperation of all citizens.
The Legion kindly asks that
those having toys to give
whether new or second hand,
have them ready and Boy
Scouts will gather them up.
The tree is to be put in front
of the court house, and will be
in place a number of days be-
fore Christmas.
This paper heartily approves
of this action of the American
Legion, and we hope that our
people will give their aid in
making the community Christ
mas tree the success that 1t
should be.

The State of Ohio has leased the
farm of the late Jos. Warne near
Meigs to be used as rifle range for
Wagon Company. No. 124 While
the whole farm is leased, the range
proper will only take strip of
ground 40x600 feet. The equipment
will probably not be installed until
next spring. The government has
allowed $500 to meet the expense
for the equipping and rental, cover
ing period of three years.

Is Our Work Progressing In Osher
IandS2

The December meeting of the w.
G. T. U. held at Mrs. Jennie Travis,
was of unusual interest. The pro-
gram subject was 'Is Our Work
Progressing in Other Lands" Diff
ferent phases were discussed. In
1888 it was the privilege of Anna A.
Gordon of Evanston, ILL.,, now presi-
dent of the Worlds w. C. T. U, to
accompany Frances E. Willard to
San Francisco, where she saw the
opium den standing next door to
the house of shame. In the pres
ence of these two great evils, there
came to her a revelation which re-
suited in organization of the Worlds
w. G. T. U. There have been 30
round the world organizers, and
more than SO countries are now fed
Grated in the Worlds w. C. T u.
Only 100 years ago strong drink
was unknown in India, but with the
advent of the British administration,
strong drink found it's way into In
dia. Britain gave India the sacred
and soul-savilfg Bible in the right
hand and the treacherous brandy
bottle in the left. IK 1920 India's
drink bill was $60,000,00O. India
is encouraged and inspired by dry
America and seeks immediate prohi-
bition. The British high commits
sioner of Palestine favors prohibi-
ton, as does the English bishop of
Jerusalem, convert since his visit
tc the United States. The Egyptian
w. C. T. U. has secured signatures
of $4,000 Egyptian women to a PEE
tition asking parliament for aboli-
ton of the manufacture and sale of
liquor
Thus we might speak of nearly the
whole known world awakening to
the drink menace and seeking to Sc
cure prohibition, which proves that
our work is progressing in other
lands-XX.

Trade Reviews Say

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-There are
excellent prospects for fall business
in all parts of the country in the
electrical industry, with the favor
able outlook heightened by active
building construction, continued ex-
pansion of power systems and optim-
ism among the manufacturers, Elec.
trical World reports.
New England territory slowed
down somewhat, with a distinct let
down in the Boston market. APP
pliance sales were rather strong, as
were those of central station trans
mission supplies. The Middle West
picked up a little, with good de-
nand for meters, pole hardware,
radio and appliances. The New
York district showed a fair volume
of small orders only, with steady
demand for transformers and line
materials.
Active buying continued in the
Southeast, principally by power COM
@nies and contractors for small or
edium- size house construction. In
dustrial buying was light. On the
Pacific coast, there was active
central station buying, including
some sizeable range sales.
