Letter Concerning Chas. Urban

Mrs. Mollie Fouts of this place re-
ceived a letter sent Jan. 3 from the
National Military home at Dayton,
concerning her son Mr. Charles Ur-
ban who is patient there.
The letter stated in substance
that Mr.. Urban was operated upon,
on the Thursday before, and came
through a very serious operation in
excellent shape, the doctors feeling
that his condition at that time was
very good-in fact, better than they
had expected. 1t further stated that
he is very cooperative patient
willing to do whatever the doctors
and nurses ask in an effort to re-
cover; and that he does not have
any active tuberculosis at present.
The letter further said: There is
a minister living at the home, who
calls upon the patients frequently
especially the ones who are sick in
bed. He has talked with your son
several times, and Charles wishes
us to tell you that everything is all
right with him now. He does not
want you to worry"

no MEMBERS OF FISH AND GAME
ASSOCIATION AND TO WHOM
1T MAY CONCERN

And it should concern every per-
son in Morgan county, for the asso-
@ation has been making every eff
fort to secure restocking fish and
game, also the proper protection for
IT, But owing to some misfortunes
we did not accomplish everything we
set out to do. We are not discour-
aged however, and hope to gain what
we lost and go on with our program
for 1925, and with the support of the
people we expect to make good. Last
year we were only allowed 100 pleas
ant eggs and about $50 live birds,
and no fish at all, but we were sue
ceasful in securing two commission
ed game protectors, which was of
great benefit to the county this sea-
son, but will show its effect still
more in the seasons to come. We
shouid not be satisfied with this, and
lie down on the job, but must stick
xutil we get a state salaried protect
sr in our county, also more fish
and game, and we believe we should
work hard for a game refuge cen
traily located, so the county at
large would profit by it. Now to ac-
somplish this, we want every person
in the county who is in the least in
terested in the wild life of our coun-
ty. to see the secretary or write him;
state that you are interested and
rant to become an active member:
inst send your name, how much land
yUu own or control, and where it is
located, and he will list you as a
member and send your membership
card.
IL you are not land owner, give
or send your name with 81 and your
address. Think this over at once
and let us hear from you, as our
dues must be paid to the League of
Ohio Sportsmen which is the gov
erning body of our state.
Be prompt with your dues.

Effort Being Made
To Recruit Wagon Co.
Stated That The Armory May BE
Closed If Full Quota Is Not
Secured.

Maj. Emil Max of Columbus has
been here this week looking after
/ the matter of recruiting Wagon COM
pany 124 to it's full complement. The
ranks of the company have gone
down to less than 40, number of
the enlistments having expired last
| November. 1t is stated that the pres
1 ent number is far under that which
is required for the maintenance of
the armory, and that in case the
company is not recruited to the re-
quired number--60, exclusive of Of
! ficers, within the next few days, the
armory will be closed.
Captain v. L. Jaynes who has
been commander of the company
three years, has resigned his com
mission, and next Saturday the COM
pany property will be transferred to
First 1t. Tedd Mcbride, the transfer
being made by a representative of
the adjutant generals department,
who will be here from Columbus.
supt. Geo. e. Carr of M. &M.
schools has been appointed to a
lieutenantcy in the company and
First 1t. Mcbride will have the
captaincy. Another lieutenant will
be appointed shortly
1t is stated that if the recruiting
process in operation proves success
full, the armory will be repaired and
that new furniture will be requisi-
toned, the radio re-installed, and
the armory become the civic center
for the county. A janitor will have
charge Of the building, and it will
be open from II a. m. to IL p. M
Attention is called to the fact that
outside of the social and recreation
al features of the company, and the
advantage in different ways of hav-
ing the armory open, there is a ma
terial advantage in the pay roll
which amounts to about 5000 per
month and is somewhat of an asset
to the business of Morgan county.
1t is urged that every aid should
be extended to the special recruiting
and localsofficers, in securing the
full quota for the company, so that
the organization may be continued,
and that the community may have
the additional advantage of the ar
mory being kept open.

Cash BETTER Than Checks

Ohio mayors, or justices of the
peace who accept checks in pay
ment for fines will do well to have
them cashed before they turn them
into the county treasury. They may
be much richer at the end of the year
if they do. The attorney general has
held that where these officials ae-
cept checks in payment for fines, and
turn the checks into the county
treasury they are responsible for
the full amount if the check comes
back unpaid. The attorney general
advises these rural officials to get
the checks cashed first, ii they final
ly decide to accept check, but
hints that cash is the only safe
thing to accept in payment of fine.
Several village mayors have a nice
collection of checks returned mark
ed mo funds by which they will
always remember the law breakers
