which even among ministers, is con-
sidered an unusual one.

the ministry is June 20 but the OBJ
servance was held one week earlier
since Rev. Rowland and his wife
will be attending conference at
Lakeside near Cleveland during
that time.
On that date, Mrs. Howland, who
has held a local preachers license
for four years, hopes to be ordained
to the ministry and by an unusual
coincidence, it will fall on the same
Sunday that her husband entered the
ministry As years ago. Mrs. How
land is the former Leila Golda Ben
son, whom he married in November,
1914.
Rev. Howland's career as pastor
began at Cuyler, New York in June
of 1902, the same month and year
that he and Miss Hattie Marion
Simons were united in marriage.
1.-THE couple enjoyed more than forty
wears of marriage until the time of
her death in 1912.

Bill TO Control
Strip Mining Is
Now Law In Ohio
Important To Noble
County For Future
Land Preservation

The fight for strip mine control
In Ohio, including Noble county was
won in the closing sessions of the
state legislature when the House
concurred in Senate amendments tc
a bill regulating Shippers.
Important to Noble county, where
practically every township is the
scene of strip mining. it will have
a far reaching effect here, as Noble
is one of "a counties in the state
where strip mining is being carried
on IN gigantic way.
The measure bore the enthusiastic
Endorsement of Governor Thomas J
Herbert, former Governor Frank J
Lausche and a commission which
had studied the strip mine situation
1t was bitterly opposed by the
powerful coal lobby.
The bill requires all operators
who remove bituminous coal by the
open pit method to obtain a $25 an
nual license from the state if they
mine more than $50 tons a year.
These operators must post a bond
OF SlOO an acre to guarantee that
they will comply with conservation
regulations, which include knock
ing off the top of spoil banks to e
croSs-section width of Is feet. Gov.
ering the face of exposed coal and
sealing break-throughs to under
ground diggings when their oper-
atlonS are terminated.
In addition, operators may be re-
qulred to spend up to $50 an acre
IN planting trees, grasses and shrubs
on mined land when the work is
done unless the director of the
states agricultural experiment sta
ton declares that the land is of
no value and need not be restored.
The regulation was inspired by
the indignation of residents of Ohio
counties where lands have been
ruthlessly ripped up and left unre-
stored.
Sen. Robert Quinn, R., jefferson,
who led the fight for the bill on
the floor, told the Senators how he
was ''molested" by a strip mine
lobbyist the previous night.
Quinn said he was awakened
several times during the night by
the lobbyist, who repeatedly accused
MN OF being a crusader for strip
mine regulation. He said the mo
lester, after frequent calls and
door poundings, was finally taken
away from his hotel by detective
at 600 a. m.
Sen. c. Stanley Mechem, R.,
Athens, chairman of the conserva-
ton committee said that although
the bill was the first of itS kind
ever to pass the legislature, it was
compromise" and would need
much improvement through the
years.
Strip mine regulation was an ad-
ministration must for Governor
Herbert after he made former
Democratic Governor Frank J.
Lausche's failure to provide like
legislation a major issue in the last
gubernatorial campaign.
At least four separate companies
will be affected in this county by
the new law,

William |. Spinks
Speaks In Lexington

William Lycurgus Spinks, candi-
date for governor, addressed a num-
Der of people in Lexington Saturday
morning from the Court House
Square.
MI. Spinks made a plea for the
veterans and old people principally
in his speech saying:
'"The men and boys who served
in our arm forces fought, bled and
died for $4,000 a month while other
men were working for high wages &
thousands of people got rich. ! am
in favor of our returned Veterans &
the widows, mothers and fathers OF
the ones who will return be-
ing paid a bonus of $1,000 a month
for each month spent in the service
and $500 extra for every month
spent overseas by the State of Miss
issippi.
Our Old People
In regard to the old people the
candidate for governor said:
81 propose that a law be passed
that will free u old people from
the domination of the so-called We'll
fare Board. The system under which
this Board operates gives it the po-
wer of life and death over our Old
People. This Board says how much
or how little the old people may
have, and unless they humble them
selves to the dictates of these bureau
Gratis they are told that they cannot
have anything. The LAW MUST
SAY what our old people shall have,
and the ONLY QUALIFICATION
SHALL BE that the applicant is a
citizen of Mississippi and has at
tanned the AGE FIXED BY LAW.
THIS is A CONSTITUTIONAL
GUARANTEE"
81 propose that the State or Miss
issippi create a special fund proper
ly earmarked to take care of our
old people; such fund to be an a
mount sufficient when added to the
Federal allotment to pay u old
people $4,000 per month.
