1.-THE great extent to which the

"The modern trend in adoption

Taft And The South

One of the arguments repeatedly
made these days by the anti Taftites
is that Taft strategists already have
tightly cited up" the Southern dele
gates to the Republican Convention;
that this gives Senator Taft an un-
shakable bloc of approximately 14O
votes from thirteen states; that this
constitutes the dependable core of
Taft's convention strength.
Invariably, it is inferred that there
is something sinister in the way Sena-
tor Taft and his managers have
gathered these Southern delegates !;
that the men who barter them away
to Mr.. Taft are very low grade, in
deed, completely Indifferent to party
success, concerned only with their
personal, political loot With no desire
to defend either the character or the
methods Of the professional politi-
clans, white and black, who control
the Republican organizations in the
South, it nevertheless seems worth
while to point out the fallacies in this
argument Considered in the light of
the facts there seems a considerable
misconception.
For example, there is a basic con

Campaign Here

A countrywide campaign against
rats and mice on the farm and in
the village is scheduled for this
fall, according to the Extension
Office.
The All clubs and the Vocation
al Agriculture Glasses will have
bait for sale at a considerably re
duced price. Rats are a carrier for
disease, are harmful to founda-
tions, and above all, waste from

head per year.
The All and FLA members will
be selling the bait the last two
weeks in October, and it is planned
that all bait be put out for rats
and mice on November 7. 1t is i'm

County Preparing For 1853
Sesquicen+ennial Program

What is Madison County's claim
to fame?
In what field is it to be found
history, religion, geology, agricul-
ture, education?
The county could have been the
birthplace of Simon Girty the rene
gade. Or, it might have been the
place where McGuffey introduced
his famous readers.
Such questions confronted rep
resentative citizens assembled
Monday night at the courthouse to
organize a committee for this
county's participation in Ohios
Sesquicentennial celebration in
1853.
All counties of the state are to
be organized in preparation for the
event.
The Sesquicentennial Commits

Official 4 Of Red
Cross Addresses
County Chapter

Alfred l.. Baron, Columbus, ex-
ecutive director of the Franklin
County Chapter Red Cross, adj
dressed members of Madison Coun-
ty Chapter at the annual meeting
in the court house Monday eve
ming.
Speaking on the work of the or
ganiZation from a national angle,
Baron cleared up for the county
chapter many questions on the
change in operation policy of the
Red Cross.
With what appeared reason
ably adequate reserved fund, he
stated, National decided more than
a year ago to dip into that fund to
relieve the pressure on campaign
fund drives. Come along disasters
in several sections of the country
that nearly surpassed all previous
disasters. National found itself in
the predicament of an almost de-
pleted treasury, making it neces-
sary to begin cutting support of
some of its activities.
It frightened its belt by curtailing
heavily its financial aid for opera
tion of blood banks over the coun-
try and gave back to the local
chapters, the burden of bearing a
larger share of their operation
cost. Also all Red Cross personnel
has been withdrawn from all Vet
Grams Administration Hospitals to
lop off such heavy expenditures in
that field. The services performed
heretofore by paid workers for
men in these hospitals, have now
been taken over by the volunteers
But" said Mr. Baron in con-
cluding, 'the organization will
greatly benefit because of this

London Raiders 10 Clash
With MarysvilIe Friday

Coach Bowlus' London Raiders
will clash with the Marysville High
grid team on the latters field Fri
day evening.
In last weeks encounter with the
Urbana team the Raiders took a
44-6 lacing and since then have
worked to iron out few kinks
they considered partly responsible
for the defeat.
One factor, which likely con-
tributed heavily to Londons in
ability to play a closer game, was
the loss of Fullback Simpsons SER
vices early in the contest, because
of an ankle injury. Coach Bowlus
said Simpson was not likely to be
able to play in the Marysville
game.
Two or three LHS gridders have
been worked out for Simpsons
position and Bob Fout will be
started in one of the defensive half
back positions. Otherwise the Lon
don lineup will remain practically
unchanged from last weeks game.
Marysville played Redwood High
last Friday and downed them to
the tune of 26-6, a fact which
spells stiff opposition for London
in this weeks game.
The London High band, under
direction of Ray Creighton, will
accompany the local squad to
Marysville.
The Marysville Monarchs were
rated even with London until the
games of last Friday night, mark
ed victory for Marysville and a
defeat for London.
Despite the blasting by Urbana,
Marysville fans hold that London
still has good football team. They
regard the LTIS gridders bigger
but slower and expect that straight
line -plunges will give the Monarch
team the most trouble Friday
night.
If the Monarchs continue their
sharp blocking and tackling DEM
onstrated in the Richwod contest,
the game with London should be a
close, cheer-rousing engagement.
London was picked by five of
the coaches in the Mid-Six League
to. win the league title and if
Marysville derails them this week,
then that team may look more
hopefully toward title honors.
