know my heart; try me, and
know my thoughts; and see if
there be any wicked way in
me, and lead me in the Way
Everlasting
Forbid that I should grieve
Thy Holy Spirit; and grant
me, day by day, the grace and
the strength to put Thee first
in all things, to give Thee my
supreme love, and to manifest
that love in my daily walk and
conversation.
Help me to take Christ's
yoke upon me and to learn of
Him - the meek and lowly
Jesus. Grant that I may walk
with Him in fellowship sweet,
each and every day, until He
calls me Home.
Hear me, my Father, in Je-
sus' Name and for His sake, I
pray. Amen.

Mrs. Kundel Predicts
Women will Vote No
On Colored Oleo

A prediction that Ohio house
wives will line up on the side of
butter by voting mo" on oleo in
the referendum Tuesday, was
made today by Mrs. Henry Kan
del. She was just back from a
meeting in Columbus where
plans to get out the housewife
women of the state completed
vote in the coming referendum.
The organization with women
representatives from every sec
ton of the state and including
both urban and rural delegates,
is named women for Butter" "
Mrs. Handel charged that the
present attempt to legalize col
ored oleo is an effort designed
more at initiating butter prices
than in pleasing some people who
might want to buy the product
colored yellow in imitation of
butter. She pointed out that under
the present Ohio law, which
Women for Butter" seek to re-
tain, there is no Ohio tax or re-
striction on oleo sold white.

Four Separate Groups
Hear His Addresses
In Marysville Friday

In spite of freezing weather
and the rey-Marysville foot
ball game, more than 500 persons
availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to hear Senator Robert A.
Taft, OhioS' senior Senator,
when he spoke in the School
Auditorium Friday evening. His
main address was preceded by in
formal talks earlier in the eve
ming at the Court House and the
Kiwanis-Lions club dinner meet
ing. Approximately 100 persons
heard him at each of these places.
Senator Taft, who has often
been called "Mr. Republican,,
gave an entirely non-partisian
address-he threw no bouquets at
his own party and no brickbats
at the present administration.
The Senator was dressed in a
dark blue suit, and his warm per-
sonality, and good, clear delivery
made him most colorful speak
er.
His topic was Freedom" and
he let it be known at the out
set, that his main concern in
keeping that freedom was the
lack of interest shown by the
general public in voting.

MarysVille's Monarchs worked
20 perfection in the first half and
they stood off a desperate last
half rally to defeat Carey, 1920,
Friday night and remain unde-
feated in eight games this year.
The victory also gave Marysville
the Mid-State League football
championship for the third time
in the five years the league has
been operating.
The MonarchS left their own
supporters open-mouthed at their
play in the first two periods as
they ran wild on the ground and
held the explosive Carey ground
attack to Is yards net, rushing.
The Marysville team played up
to the fullest expectations OF
their most ardent followers. They
gained $50 yards net rushing and
held Carey to l06 yards for the
evening. Only a couple of very
costly breaks" early in the third
quarter kept the game from be-
ing a route over Carey
These breaks, in the form of a
bad lateral pass, two holding
penalties in a row, and in inter
cepted pass returned for a touch
down, kept Carey in the game
and made the score closer than
the actual difference between the
two teams.

London Beats Delaware

Delaware, MarysViIIe'S only re-

800 licking from London Friday
night. The Panthers will travel
here this week to attempt to
knock Marysville from the ranks
of the undefeated. This is not
impossible either as Westerville
was also beaten by large score
by London, which has lost only
to Marysville, and the local fans
will remember that Westerville
was far from any pushover.
