Ohio National
Guard Mustered
Back To Service
Caldwell Man Named
To Key Position In
State Organization

The famous 37th division, called
"Ohio'S Own" from one end of the
world to the other, which was
mustered out of service on the
west coast at the close of World
War II, was mustered back into
service as the Ohio National Guard,
during ceremonies at the State
Capitol building in Columbus,
Armistice day morning, Major
General Leo M Kreber will be the
commanding officer.
During the ceremonies, 1t. Col
T. Dye Farmhouse of Caldwell and
Columbus was assigned to duties
as plans and training officer of the
37th Division Artillery.
Colonel Farmhouse is at present
administrative assistant to State
highway director Perry T. Ford
He was a member of the 37th div
ision headquarters battery which
left Caldwell in 1910 and served
overseas with the division, part OF
the time as So on the division
artillery staff.
Farmhouse recently received the
army commentator for his out
standing service at Fort Sill after
he returned from overseas. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs William
D. Farmhouse of Belle Valley, His
wife is the former Florence King
of Caldwell. They have one daugh-
ter, Kay, aged 10 years.
The Farmhouse family resides at
634 Fifth street in Marietta, having
moved there two years ago from
Caldwell.
This community is fortunate in
having Farmhouse as one of the key
men in the state organization,
which also speaks highly of his
ability.
Well liked by the men of the
local battery, Farmhouse is deserv-
ing of this high appointment
Among the units receiving Fed
eral recognition Monday was the
Headquarters and Headquarters
battery under the command OF
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Cooper.
There is still no assurance that
a National Guard unit will be
located in Caldwell.

Some of the outstanding fiction in
cludes: "Spoonhandle" by Ruth
Moore; Britannia News" by Mar

j. S. Harris Rounds Out 56th
Year In Covering Election Returns

At the counting out" of the
November election last week, the
Noble county board had a veteran
on hand, who was rounding out
'coverage" of his 56th. consecutive
election.
Back in 1890, which seems a long
time ago to local newcomers in the
newspaper field, Jess S. Harris, re-
ported at the election board to cover
the returns and that evening he
started on a career which still con-
tinues, in spite of the fact that he
has actively retired from the news
paper game in Caldwell and this
section of the state.
Founder, owner and editor of The
Noble County Leader, until Feb
ruary of this year when he sold
out to Richard Thornberry of Bel
mont, Jess S. Harris, took the cleo
tions, as well as his work, all in
a daily stride.
Harris, a staunch Republican
since time began, was on hand to
check in the sweeping Republican
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1946-11-14

gains last Tuesday evening. He was
covering the local returns for the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and other
northern papers.
Harris remarked that not a one
of the old timers is still around. He
has seen many changes in the per-
Sonnel of the election board but
Harris said that essentially the cleo
tons were always the same. Some
body wins and others are dis-ap-
pointed but that is as inevitable as
night must follow day.
Back in 1890, Harris remained
until the last vote was tailed but
Tuesday evening of last week, he
called it a day at 2 a. m, and left
before Forest Grove returns were
complete.
1t was the first time in Sc years
that he did not work through the
night and get out his paper the next
morning.
Harris, who resides on West street
with his wife, is in his 18th year.

Slick Bandit RObs
Unguarded Safe

Cambridge, Nov. IL - Police
searched here today for an uni
Identified man who boldly removed
several hudred dollars in cash from
a momentarily unguarded safe at
a local hospital.
The bandit, described as 35 to
38 years old and well-dressed, en-
tered the hospital reception room
yesterday and engaged in CONVEX
sation with a patient
Shortly after he went to the hos
pital office and requested change
for a $40 bill, which he received
from the secretary on duty. The
secretary then re-locked the safe
and left the room for approximate
ly three minutes.
On her return, she found the
safe looted. Hospital authorities
had not determined the exact
amount taken, but believed it was
several hundred dollars.

quoted at Republican prices,
was an even $500.
Especial memo to Paul)-

dinner, when the six-dollar-hen
went the way of all good
chickens into the pot and
eventually into the frying pan.
The menu was complete with
noodles imade from eggs laid
by a Democratic hem and
mashed spuds. HAD ENOUGH!
Thanks, Paul, for the fine
"hen" and for sticking to our
original agreement. l couldn't
determine the slightest differ
ence in the taste from any other
chicken. 1t is my honest con-
tention, regardless of the cleo
ton outcome, the people will
continue very much along the
same pattern that life has
destined for them!
