Ohio will not pay the additional
amount needed if this is all that
Penn township will pay. The levy
proposed will add the sum of ST.
200, which will make total of ST.
700 that the local people would be
expected to pay to keep their
schools in operation as they should
be.
In Windsor township, the taXpay-
ers are now paying a total Of ST.
500 (outside of their bonded in

their schools The proposed levy
will add the sum of $4,000, or

teachers salaries. Some have said
that If you cut the teachers, jani-
tors and bus drivers salaries
the schools could operate without
the added levies. This statement
is not true. You are not now eli
gible for the additional aid specified
in the Traxler-Keifer law. How far

The policy of curtailing output has now
struck the shoe business. Production of
shoes for April of this year was below
that of last year. The shoe trade is en-
gagged in an effort to boost the price Of
shoes. The effect was as might be expect
ed, for the sales were dropped. In most
lines of industry, however-including
heavy goods" as well as consumer
goods, the production is being stepped
up. Although the increased sales do not
appear to be here just yet, they are said
to be just around the corner. Of course,
we are still up against the cold fact that
the Improvement is "spotty." Favored
lines are enjoying almost unprecedented
boom.
