If the farmer gave away the

the cost of flour in a 16-cent loaf
OF bread was only about four
cents-and keep in mind that in

Remainder of the Varsity squad

Although lacking in experience,
the London outfit will have tall

point-of-view, one of the incest
things about their team this year,
however, is the fact that there is
not a senior on it. This, of course,
means a right rough time in

next year, when that height will
be combined with experience.
But the Marysville team will

spot" prohibition. BY referendum
it is proposed to amend the pres
ent state law to permit the "wet
or dry" question to be voted on
by as small a section of the pub
lie as two precincts.
Present law allows the question
to be voted either countrywide or
by municipality. The new propos-
al would draw the line more
sharply, permitting prohibition TO
be voted in specific areas in a
municipality
Although few counties have
voted prohibition countrywide,
many municipalities within sew
eral counties have voted it, and
Union County has several COM
munities in which the sale of
liquor is illegal.
1000 Signatures Here
With the right to put the ques-
tion to Individual sections within
a city, the temperance movement
will have the way cleared for a
move toward total prohibition,
section by section.
The drive in Union County was
headed by Miss Elizabeth Green,
president of the w. c. T. U. She
and several assistants obtained
an estimated 1000 signatures on
the 27 petitions they circulated.
On statewide basis, the move
ment gained $4,000 signatures,
well over the 10000 minimum
required to bring the proposition
before the Ohio Legislature for
action.
Mrs. Carl Groome, of Marys-
vile, circulated the two petitions
for the repeal of the state tax on
oleo. Approximately 200 sigma
lures were obtained by her.
