Centralisation cannot be reallied without more room In the central building. The moms nre crowded new. A letter from the state department says: After centralization has been successfully voted, It ot course become11 Ihe duty of the board to raise funds either by vote of the people or otherwise, that a building be constructed ami centralization be put In operation." The stale his proved that centralization is a success. This year almost 200 centralized iichoola are being pro Je.'tett aud built.- There are over 700 centralized schools In the state. With one exception all the townships ot P.eble county. Ohio, have centralized their schools. They are unanimous In aayln" that Ihev would nol go back to the one-room rural schools. The mon ay for the bonds and Internal on bon.ls comes out of a special f md Created by a special levy. You. bv voUn; lor tho bond Issue, give the i K-i-l; u 1'tg.ut lo naka thia additional lo--",". Thin tav la not. inculded In the 5 mill MHool t.iv. The Interest la distributed o\er the years ao that the s»m*> amount U pild every year. The tax for this bond Issue per year would be approximately 16 cents on flOQ., $1.50 on $1,000. and $16 on $10,000. How many men In Brownhelm who have $10,000 worth of property would object to giving $16 per year for a good cause? If a subscription were taken up tor some public benefit, Brownhelm taxpayers would subscribe more than that without flinching. This has been proved during the war by the tine way In which she has responded to every call. Brownhelm township prides herself on being one of the Ilrst townships of the state in agriculture. Her people believe ln progress along agricultural lines. Shall we allow the rest of the state to go ahead ot ua ln good schools? Do we think leas of our children than other townships? Are wa going to wait utni lthe state de- ' partmeut compels ua to take action, or do It willingly now? Cost Statistics. Extra cost of centralization: 3 more routos. average $675—-$2o:i5 Money saved by centralization: Supervision by outsider $ 360 One less teacher @ $720 720 A rural school Janitors & $20 60 Tuition for 4th year pupils next ' year @ $70 - 660 $1840 Huarts co.Memfwypcmfwyparhdluwy Extra coil of centralization..-$ 185 The $50,000 asked for includes all equipment for building and the three new waconj It covers all expense to be incurred by the change to centralization. The new building as planned ls estimated ut $40,000. This leaves $10,000 tor equipment, which will no doubt be much more than Is needed. The re malnder will, of course, be paid back on the flrst bonds and Interest. It Is better to make the Issue high enough to more than cover expenses than to be compelled to ask for another bond Issue to finish the building. That only raeana added expense. The state only requires ua to install one bench and one set of tools for manual training and very llttlo apparatus for domestic science. This would enable the school to start with one class lu each at very little ex- ' pensa. One ot the regular teachers would give Instruction In theae sub Jects. bo no extra expense wolud be Incurred for teachers. This would enable the high school to offer these aub Jocts as electlvus In the flrst and second year and not require all pupils to take Latin as we now are forced to do. All boys and girls should not be compelled to study Latin but should be allowed to take more practical subjects. The new building would also have a laboratory for ubo in agriculture, and better Instruction and more advanced courses could be given in that study We ask you to look the matter squarely In the face and vote for tho bond Issue May 20. so that you may have a building that will give your bov or girl better teaching, better * courses, and a flrst grade diploma. To vote "No" means tbat you are uu willing to give your children the aUrt that progressive communities demand. To vote "Yes" means progress I'leaae do not forget to vole "Yes" ln the interests of yourself, your children and your community. AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE. The elector* of Brownhelm have been notified by the board of education to vole May 20 on a $60,000 bond is tue, to build a $50,000 school bulletin - —the same proposition voted down two weeks sgo. The scheme of the iiromoteM-9 Is to make a playhouse out >f the present high school building, far a gymnasium and a place to piny IiaM.etball. Our high school building was built line'years ago at a cost of $12,000; it •nuld not be built now for $26,000. Phis building now accommodates the high school and four outside district-; leaving lluee more to be provided fo, There are 00 clhldren in the foir outside diatrlcts. No. 3, on the aotttf ind close by, never asked to be II off; nearly everyon.* voted no. Ui Irlct No. 4, southwest district, ovoe the big hills to the Swift hollow an the home farms 5 mlkia, Itnpossibb to get to in winter time, voted he District No. 7 Joins Vermilion corpo ration.

The scheme was stsrted hy the high school to make a playhouse out of the high school bul bl lm. and build a $u(), i)00 building In front of the present one for a playhouse. Abraham Lincoln said "You may fool tbe people .in. e but not all the time." At the last vote centralization carried, the bond issue lost. The three districts that attend the central school are 2, 5 amis. from the east to the weat on the ridge through the township. The First Vote. The more conservative voted agalns' It for two reasons. The first was that Brownhelm has a tax duplicate with $2,019,000 valuation and a 6 mills levy, the limit, tor school purposes. Thi - gives $10,000 to maintain tbe schools tn Brownhelm. The school board bad to borrow money to pay the last year'*! bills, and is now $4,000 In debt, With $6,000 sdded. It would be Impossible to maintain such a proposition. With less than 200 pupils the boarel of education was nsked to build as follows: A Ilrst class high school, pbv ileal and chemical laboratory, domes :lc science, up-to-date gymnasium manual training and instructions in agriculture, an agricultural laboratory for scientific farming, rooms to be used as a community center, an audi liii-iu .i seating 400 to accommodate farmers' Institutes, granges, aud for I room to play basketball. This ls what the "trickily" Is after now. This Is going some for little Brownhelm, with less than 1,000 in habitants. The board will build additions for the centralization for the other three subdistricts—what Is needed for the good of the school of Brownhelm an,I will be backed by all. The same thine-. to be voted for this time, with the ex .'cptiou of centralisation. JULIUS PECK. M. E. 8ERVICE8. Sunday morning there will be a speaker from out of town at the Meth odlst church, a layman who will give hla experience in "tithing." In ths evening there will be a stereoptlcon lecture on "Missions" at that church. Next Tuesday evening the people will hold a "get-together" meeting and supper In the M. K. parlors.

We do not make a pretense at giv Ing the world news. That for us is impossible. Hence it is imperative thut you take an outside duily and a few magazines in order to keep your balance with the doings of congress, the progress of th epeace conference, ihe standing* of various baseball leagues, etc. There Is no paper from which you can read the complete happenings of Amherst, however, exceni The Amherst News-Times. To this community Amherst is the center ot the world. The News-Times is a con itant booster for this neighborhood ind no other. . Someone has well said. "An ounce of loyaity ls worth a pound of clever nesa." Loyalty to the community tn which you live is only one way of be ing loyal to your own Interests. If Amherst grows you will grow witb it. the property you own will increase in value, the opportunities for you to ini prove your financial worth will be increased. You cannot make a mistake by being loyal to your own home town. Did you ever hear of a modern town growing to any great proprtlons without a good newspaper In It to help keep It alive- to its own best Interests? Newspapers are natural born boosters. I'he Amherst News-Times ls no excep tion. It's to your decided advantage to stake a dollar and a hafl on the fu ture of the town by subscribing for The News-Times and read the news of Amherst for a year.

PUZZLING PACKAGE CLAIMED. The package sent the Kuss drug store by the Hall-Van Gordon company, mention of which was made In last week's paper, was claimed by its, original sender, shortly after reading tho Item. Mrs. Charles Cheesman recognized, from tbe description, tbat tbe contents were those she had sent her son, Harland Martin, a month before Christmas, and which he had never received. The package alao had contained a supply of candy, cigarettes, and other articles, but evidently never got farther than Washington. I'o.-elueasier Stiwald hus received the- following letter from the Ohio Waj^ Saving.t committee, which is particularly applicable at this time: It reads: "The immense sum of $5,720,970 will be paid to the people ot Ohio May 15, Interest on their Second Liberty loan bonds. "Provla ion haa been made, as you know, for tbe acceptance at postottlces of Interest coupons tor payment on the cost of war savings stamps. "All ••launders agree that the way to get rich ia to re-invest your inter- eat and make your money work double time for you. "Will you please advise your pa trons nnd local papers that facilities are provided at your otflce for the exchange of Liberty bond interest cou pons tor war savings stamps so tbat a portion of these millions coming due May 15 may be reinvested not only In the interests of the government but In the lnteresta of the individual who will profit thereby? 'Ohio, which led the nation In ag gregate sales of war savings stamps last year, maintains its proud position this year, and now has taken the lead in per "".pita sales aa well as aggregate. Mm.*- than 1120,000,000 of these small but peerless securities are held by the people of Ohio. The postal officials and employes ot the state have been prima factors In this wonderful record which we must maintain." AMHERST TO RUSE S1;000 FOR Y.M.G.A.

A letter from the state department says: After centralization has been successfully voted, It ot course become11 Ihe duty of the board to raise funds either by vote of the people or otherwise, that a building be constructed ami centralization be put In operation." The stale his proved that centralization is a success. This year almost 200 centralized iichoola are being pro Je.'tett aud built.- There are over 700 centralized schools In the state. With one exception all the townships ot P.eble county. Ohio, have centralized their schools. They are unanimous In aayln" that Ihev would nol go back to the one-room rural schools. The mon ay for the bonds and Internal on bon.ls comes out of a special f md Created by a special levy. You. bv voUn; lor tho bond Issue, give the i K-i-l; u 1'tg.ut lo naka thia additional lo--",". Thin tav la not. inculded In the 5 mill MHool t.iv. The Interest la distributed o\er the years ao that the s»m*> amount U pild every year. The tax for this bond Issue per year would be approximately 16 cents on flOQ., $1.50 on $1,000. and $16 on $10,000. How many men In Brownhelm who have $10,000 worth of property would object to giving $16 per year for a good cause? If a subscription were taken up tor some public benefit, Brownhelm taxpayers would subscribe more than that without flinching. This has been proved during the war by the tine way In which she has responded to every call. Brownhelm township prides herself on being one of the Ilrst townships of the state in agriculture. Her people believe ln progress along agricultural lines. Shall we allow the rest of the state to go ahead ot ua ln good schools? Do we think leas of our children than other townships? Are wa going to wait utni lthe state de- ' partmeut compels ua to take action, or do It willingly now? Cost Statistics. Extra cost of centralization: 3 more routos. average $675—-$2o:i5 Money saved by centralization: Supervision by outsider $ 360 One less teacher @ $720 720 A rural school Janitors & $20 60 Tuition for 4th year pupils next ' year @ $70 - 660 $1840 Huarts co.Memfwypcmfwyparhdluwy Extra coil of centralization..-$ 185 The $50,000 asked for includes all equipment for building and the three new waconj It covers all expense to be incurred by the change to centralization. The new building as planned ls estimated ut $40,000. This leaves $10,000 tor equipment, which will no doubt be much more than Is needed. The re malnder will, of course, be paid back on the flrst bonds and Interest. It Is better to make the Issue high enough to more than cover expenses than to be compelled to ask for another bond Issue to finish the building. That only raeana added expense. The state only requires ua to install one bench and one set of tools for manual training and very llttlo apparatus for domestic science. This would enable the school to start with one class lu each at very little ex- ' pensa. One ot the regular teachers would give Instruction In theae sub Jects. bo no extra expense wolud be Incurred for teachers. This would enable the high school to offer these aub Jocts as electlvus In the flrst and second year and not require all pupils to take Latin as we now are forced to do. All boys and girls should not be compelled to study Latin but should be allowed to take more practical subjects. The new building would also have a laboratory for ubo in agriculture, and better Instruction and more advanced courses could be given in that study We ask you to look the matter squarely In the face and vote for tho bond Issue May 20. so that you may have a building that will give your bov or girl better teaching, better * courses, and a flrst grade diploma. To vote "No" means tbat you are uu willing to give your children the aUrt that progressive communities demand. To vote "Yes" means progress I'leaae do not forget to vole "Yes" ln the interests of yourself, your children and your community. AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE. The elector* of Brownhelm have been notified by the board of education to vole May 20 on a $60,000 bond is tue, to build a $50,000 school bulletin - —the same proposition voted down two weeks sgo. The scheme of the iiromoteM-9 Is to make a playhouse out >f the present high school building, far a gymnasium and a place to piny IiaM.etball. Our high school building was built line'years ago at a cost of $12,000; it •nuld not be built now for $26,000. Phis building now accommodates the high school and four outside district-; leaving lluee more to be provided fo, There are 00 clhldren in the foir outside diatrlcts.

The scheme was stsrted hy the high school to make a playhouse out of the high school bul bl lm. and build a $u(), i)00 building In front of the present one for a playhouse. Abraham Lincoln said "You may fool tbe people .in. e but not all the time." At the last vote centralization carried, the bond issue lost. The three districts that attend the central school are 2, 5 amis. from the east to the weat on the ridge through the township. The First Vote. The more conservative voted agalns' It for two reasons. The first was that Brownhelm has a tax duplicate with $2,019,000 valuation and a 6 mills levy, the limit, tor school purposes. Thi - gives $10,000 to maintain tbe schools tn Brownhelm. The school board bad to borrow money to pay the last year'*! bills, and is now $4,000 In debt, With $6,000 sdded. It would be Impossible to maintain such a proposition. With less than 200 pupils the boarel of education was nsked to build as follows: A Ilrst class high school, pbv ileal and chemical laboratory, domes :lc science, up-to-date gymnasium manual training and instructions in agriculture, an agricultural laboratory for scientific farming, rooms to be used as a community center, an audi liii-iu .i seating 400 to accommodate farmers' Institutes, granges, aud for I room to play basketball. This ls what the "trickily" Is after now. This Is going some for little Brownhelm, with less than 1,000 in habitants. The board will build additions for the centralization for the other three subdistricts—what Is needed for the good of the school of Brownhelm an,I will be backed by all. The same thine-. to be voted for this time, with the ex .'cptiou of centralisation. JULIUS PECK. M. E. 8ERVICE8.

Mrs. Charles Cheesman recognized, from tbe description, tbat tbe contents were those she had sent her son, Harland Martin, a month before Christmas, and which he had never received. The package alao had contained a supply of candy, cigarettes, and other articles, but evidently never got farther than Washington.

"Provla ion haa been made, as you know, for tbe acceptance at postottlces of Interest coupons tor payment on the cost of war savings stamps.
