A TRIP AROUNDk THE WORLD
-38 days by air--iss the top prize
offered in a Ford dealer contest,
which we understand Clayton Bixel
is leading at the moment. The con-
test ends next week, and the Bixel
sales crew is working like mad to
help Clayton win the trip.
WE HAD JUST NOTED in our
files that this is the anniversary
week of the mysterious Maple Grove
cemetery violin concert, when 10 and
behold The Oxford Press, whose
typewriter we punished some months
back, reports a current ghost chase
at Fisher Hall on the Miami univer-
sity campus.
The Miami phantom, 1T appears, is
vocalist rather than instrumental
list, thereby forestalling any conjec-
ture that the wraiths of Bluffton col
lege may have transferred his credits
to that school.
But unlike Bluffton's own misun-
derstood ghost, who was hushed so
quickly after perhaps a couple con-
certs, the Oxford spectre is encour-
aged. Columnist Bob White, writing
Beneath the Tower" for the Press,
states that the men of Fisher hall
have a genuine affection for "their"
nocturnal vocalist, and have ordered
intruding ghost-chasers on their
way.
"If other dorms who have obvious
ly been ignored by our singer, want
a ghost, then let them go get their
own" the Fisher hall students de-
clared in stern ultimatum.
Says Bob White: 'eThose yould-be
Ghost-nappers at the other dorms
should remember the etiquette of
Emily Ghost and only "spook when
spoken to-"
Makes us sort of homesick for our
own violin-playing ghoul who seems
to have shoveled away from grave
situation.

Oldest Ohio Newspaper

Printed on anything from wall
paper to parchment during occasion
al paper shortages in it's more than
160 years, the first newspaper ever
published in Ohio still lives and is
read weekly by thousands. Once an
enterprising pioneer miller changed
his gristmill into paper mill that
the little paper might have something
on which to print.
Still a weekly and with few issues
ever missed, the paper today is The
Scioto Gazette, Chillicothe, which in
1850 celebrated its own sesquicenten-
nial under that name with 100-page
anniversary edition. The name is
the fourth to appear as a masthead
on the newspaper.
November 8, 1898, William Max
well, the printer, pulled No. l Vol. /
of the "Centinel of the Northwest
Territory" off the hand press in his
little frame shop on corner of
Front and Sycamore streets, Cincin-
natl. Dated that day, it was the first
copy of the first newspaper ever
printed in what now is Ohio-ten
years before the land itself became
a state.
The paper was 81s by 104 and
had four pages. The whole front
page was covered with little adver-
tisements, like the want ads of today,
with what little news Maxwell had
tucked away among more advertis-
ing on the inside and back pages
There was no local news--only stale
news from Philadelphia, then the
national capital, and few short let
ters from abroad-mostly from
France and three or four months old
There yet We're no mails in the
Northwest Territory and the news
came by letters brought by travellers
or by hearsay fom the same souces.
The page size of the paper was in-
creased in July, 1874, to 8A by Ia
inches and after September, 1875, to
91a by Is inches. Originally three
columns to the page the size then
was increased to four columns but
the newspaper remained quarto.
The newspaper sold for fi'penny
bit-6A cents--a copy or at $3.50 q
year by subscription.

William Maxwell had circulation
ideas little different from those of
the newspapers of today. He had
subscription taking depots at "John
Bartle's general store, Covington,
Kentucky; John Dunlap's house, at
Colorain; John Armstrong; mill, Co
lumbia; and Aaron Caldwell's house
at North Bend" Colerain long has
been only farm land and Columbia
since 1875 has been a part of Cincin-
matt.
In 1875 the Centinel of the North
west Territory found so much fault
with Cincinnati's year-old post office
that the postmaster was thrown out
and Maxwell himself was appointed
postmaster. Next year he sold the
newspaper to Edmund Freeman, who
changed the papers name to Free
mans Journal"
For a year only, 1900, Cincinnati
was the capital of the Northwest Ter
ritory and that year the capital was
changed to two-year-old Chillicothe,
where the Territorial capitol was a
log cabin put up in 1898 by Benejah
Abrams on a corner of Second and
Walnut streets. In November, 1900,
Edmund Freeman followed the capi-
tai and moved Freeman's Journal to
arlother log cabin at Chillicothe, near
that used by the Territorial govern
msnt.
That year he sold Freeman's
Journal and the papers new owners
renamed it "The Chillicothe Gazette" !"
Later it's name again was changed
to The Scioto Gazette, under which
the paper is published today-the
first and of course the oldest existant
newspaper published in Ohio.
The Cincinnati Public Library has
an unbroken file of the Centinel of
the Northwest Territory and of Free
mans Journal, its successor, from
beginning to end-1800, when the
Journal left Cincinnati for Chilli
cothe. 1t is believed to be the only
existant such file in the world.
Tie second paper in the Territory
was The Western Spy and Hamilton
Gazette" started in 1899 by Joseph
Carpenter. The third Cincinnati news
paper was Liberty Hall and Cincin-
matt Mercury" begun in 1904 by John
