:. Present school enrolment is.
fh& largest in its history and each
year for at least the next five
years, school enrolment will con-
tinue to grow. Larger pupil en-
-rellment demands the purchase of
more textbooks, teaching ma
'terials, and supplies than in for
nler years. Birth statistics show
this demand will continue into
the coming year, two new teach
ers have been added to the school
staff. Each coming year as en-
rollment continues to grow new
teachers will have to be hired.
Here is a new burden to present
school finance.
"Over these ever mounting
costs of materials, repairs, and
supplies the board of education
has no control. The only solution
lies, in going to the school COM
munity for additional monies to
meet existing expense demands.
The 3 mill tax levy, which
amounts to 80 cents tax on each
$1,000 of taxable property, will
solve the additional financial bur-
den that faces the London
Schools.
''The high cost of living, too,
is placing an added burden upon
the local school system. Faced
with the problem of keeping good
teachers and attracting good
teachers to the school staff the
local board Of education is at a
disadvantage. Present salaries of
its employees are far below that
of other cities of similar size Tn
fact, are below that of many
county schools, including some in
Madison County.
When teaching vacancies oc.
cur, local officials find il extrem-
oly difficult to attract good, eX-
perienced teachers into the Lon

Harry Schlott, genial teacher
and coach at Monroe High School
in Plumwood, left college in 1882
and didn't return until 1886
years later!
The life story on the man reads
like q combination of Horatio
Alger and Wrongway Corrigan
with lot thrown in.
Schlott is big, husky fellow,
calls himself, "a real redneck. "
His interest in sports is the, big-
gest thing in ;his life aside from
his little girl, Susie. I'D rather
be with those kids than be presi-
dent" he says. But the story of
how Harry, Schlott became a
teacherand a coach is one of
triumph over heartbrealing odds.
Harry Schlott graduated from
Lima Central high school m 1880.
That same fall he entered Ohio
Northern university but, after a
year, transferred to Bluffton col
lege. Playing freshman football
at Northern and basketball and
football at Bluffton, he won lte-
ters in all three sports.
His college career cut short by
the depression, Harry quit COL
lege and got a job at the Lima
locomotive works. He worked
there days and officiated at sport
ing events at nights to earn extra
money During this period he
married and had two children, a
girl and a boy. III 1913 his boy
died.
It. was then that Harry nadQ
up his mind to return to college
and complete his education Hag-
rW went back to Bluffton after is
years. WitbQut sufficient funds to
carry him through, he got a Job
working nights from eleven until
seven in The morning. From eight

went to school. With what little
sleep he could get in between, he
then helped coach the school,

To The Editor:

To The Editor:
Dear SIR
The voters of Ohio will cast their
ballots at the November election
for the candidates whom they
deem best qualified for the respcc-
tive offices. The record of each
candidate should be carefully. scr
utinized for honesty, ability, and
efficiency.
We must not forget that while
the presidential campaign is most
important, likewise our state and
local offices must be maintained on
high level of efficiency.
In the state campaign, the office
of Auditor of State is perhaps one
of the most important that must
be filed by an honest and capable
executive. The present incumbent,
Joseph T. Ferguson, is a candidate
for reelection. For period of sew
eral years, Mr.. Ferguson, has op-
Grated this office with credit TO
the taxpayers of Ohio. His rigid
economy in the operation of the
office and his vigilance against
questionable and excessive state
expenditures has earned him an
enviable reputation as a great
State Auditor.
A look at Mr.. Ferguson's record
is convincing proof that the tax
payers of Ohio desire his re-elec-
ton to this important office for
another term.

scious just as you helped make

The forestry program is matter
of education and you can help
by advising interested parties to

Mr.. L. T. Hinton, chief of the
State Timber Severance Tar
Division, made this concluding
statement in his 1851 report to
the legislature:
1.-THE importance of the re-
habilitatlon of our forest lands
cannot be over-emphasized. Our
people must have forest re-
sources in order to carry on our
way of life. The benefit Of
timber and timber products to
the people of Mississippi are very
close to agricultural products
with timber benefits exceeding
agricultural products in many
areas"

ice is here to help you rehabili-
tate your land. Call on US.

The Supervisors of Holmes
County were far-sighted enough
to see that the timber in the
county must be protected from
fire and in 1850 they voted IN
county fire protection. This Will
protect the young trees already
established-but in many areas
there hasn't been enough seed
trees left to reseed the land. The
land in those areas must be re-
planted and this will take many
years for the U. S. and State
Forest Service to accomplish.
However, there are thousands
of acres of land that can be put
into production in a very short
time if proper timber manage
ment principles are applied.
Every timber tract Is different;
in order to learn what should be
done to your woodlands contact
your local foresters, H. r. Raum
or E. P. Mcmillan.

year.
From the preceding figures il
is easy to understand that
Holmes County will soon have
no timeber to cut. When this
occurs, the sawmills must close,
thus eliminating the large circu-
lation of capital caused by the
harvesting of timber.
Many of the sawmills operat-
ing in the hill sections lof the
county have already felt {he lack
of timber and have either shut
down operations or moved out
Of the county.
In January of 1851 there were
% sawmills operating in Holmes
county. Today there are only
IA mills operating on steady
basis.
1t is estimated that the timber
cut In Holmes County in 1852
VIII be less than 25,O00,000 board
feet. Timber production in the
county will continue to decrease
until landowners start managing
their timber as crop.

$4,000 Timber Sold
From Holmes Woods
During Year 1851
Timber Is Two
Million Dollar
Industry Here

Did you know that Holmes
unity produced 3l,957, 900
board feet of timber in 1851;
that 25,360 cords of pulpwood
vas shipped, and that over
S50,000 was paid to the land
owners of the county for this
timber?
This amounts to about $25 for
every man, woman. and child in
the county.
The $750,000 paid to the land
owners is only the beginning of
the benefits derived from the
forest resources. For trees must
be logged, and cut into lumber
at the mills and this creates jobs,
which produce capital to be cir
culated among all of the people
in the county. Have you ever
stopped to think, Mr.. Merchant
and Shopowner, what this esti-
mated 100000 industry means
to Holmes County?
A natural resource producing
three quarters of million dol
lars annually to the farmers of
the county cannot be ignored
any longer, why? Because we
are cutting and destroying our
timber much faster than we are
growing it.
The average growth on I'M
managed woodlands of Missis-
sippi as determined by the U. S.
Forest Service surveys is only
Ito board feet per acre per year.
1t is estimated that there is ap-
proximately 10000 acres in
Holmes County that would fall
