At Oberlin, Wednesday, 33 cases were examined, 7 of whom were positive and 13 suspects. ' Lorain County is fortunate In having an active local health department as are the cities also.

STATE FAIR ENTRIES EXCEED EXPECTATION 'Entries for the 1923 Ohio State Fair live stock competition substantiate the statement that Director of Agriculture Chas. V. Truax, and Sate Fair Manager O. R. Lewis mads sometime age, that they intended to stage the largest exhibits in the history ot the Fair at the coming show. Every department Is well filled with excellent animals and each has some particular feature that is worthy of notice, last year at the solicitation of breed- will be shown—Perchetons, Bellglans, and Clydsdales. The latter was added last year at the solicitation of breel- ers who were Interested In these Scotch Drafters, and so hearty was the response,. that place was. again, made in {be premium (list tor them. Entries "are well up to standard' in the "regular classification while the two new offerings, (commercial and police horses), are replete with many high- class animals. The entire cattle department totals almost 10% higher than heretofore. Breeds showing increases are, Shorthorns, Aberdeen Angus, Hereford, Polled Shorhorns, Guernseys, Ayr- shires .and Brown Swiss. Two of these, Guernseys and Shorthorns, set a new mark for Columbus competition. The management shows eight breeds ot swine, and out of these there are only two that have fallen below previous marks. A drive has been made this year to Increase the size ot this department. Ohio ranked third in the United States in this competition for several years, the lowest standing of any phase of Fair activities. The one department in which Ohio leads the world Is Sheep, and this year's exhibition is a culmination of several years of record breaking performances. Over 2,000 animals will be shown in the Judging ring the week ot August 27, a mark that Is almost twice that of any other sheep show over held. Outstanding among the fourteen breeds, is the Spanish Merino. Half of the number of this sheep In the United States are within the confines of Ohio. It Is, therefore, Interesting to note that the world's largest breeder of Merino Sheep has entered a flock for the coming competition. This is Mr. J. Blamer ot Johns town, Ohio, who at present has t'ou. flocks touring the country. AVIATOR WRITES ADVERTISING IN 8KY.

NO IMPLICATION THAT TOO MUCH MONEY IS SPENT BUT CASE MUST BE MADE WITH TAXPAYER, 8AY3 RIEGEL. That It Is necossary for school authorities to satisfy the public that the prensont educational system of the state ts giving adequate returns for the money that Is now being Invested In education before any general attempt is made to obtain more funds by increased taxation is the conclusion Just announced by Director of Education Vernon M. Rlegel. This does not Imply that too much money is being spent on education, In the judgment of Director Rlegel, but does mean that an effort must ty) marie to present tangible evidence to the taxpayer that will be conclusive on the question of fir an re. "An educational system can be pronounced to be adequate only when It brings ail Individuals In contact with such Influences and experiences as will enable them to live up to their possibilities and to do that work which they are by nature best equipped to do," says the state school head. "That this may be accomplished it may be necessary to spend more on education than we are now spending but, until we are able to measure the results ot the financial Investment in education, we shall not be able to determine how much more money is needed, if any. No brief can be submitted to the pub- Vc until proper scientific surveys and Investigations have been made, and logical conclusions deduced." It is pointed out that a big saving in the cost of elementary education might be made by a better plan ot classlflcatlno of pupils, by a more flexible system of promotions, by a proper evaluation, selection, and adaption ot subject matter, and by teacher improvement. A thorough study ot existing conditions and a careful appraisal of results Is held to be especially appropriate .lust now. Asserting that the school buildings built in Ohio during the last ten years or more have cost on the average twenty-live per cent more than they should have, Director Rlegel places the blame upon "an inflexible and antiquated building code, ornamentation, waste space, and Improper utilization of space." The State director believes that local tux levies will have to be depended upon for the greater part of school revenues, but that the county and state should be the units for providing educational equalization funds. WORLD WAR VETS ENTITLED Tl TUITION About two years ago the Ohio general assembly enacted a law. known as the Jones act. which provides that an honorably discharged soldier, sailor, nurse of marine who served In the World War and had lived In the state for at least a year, shall not be required to pay any tuition or matriculation fee ut any school, college or university receiving state funds in Its support. Congressamn Davey has received complaints from several ex-service men who have applied for admission to such Institutions and have been required to pay the matriculation fee, and he Is making an Investigation. In corresponding with Dr. W. O. Thompson, president of the Ohio State University, he Informed Mr. Davey that the language of the law Is not clear as to whether lt applies only to bonaflde citizens of the State of Ohio or to ex-service men from other states as well. Mr. Jones, who Introduced tho mea sure, has stated that he had In mind to make provision for soldiers who had enlisted or were drafted from Ohio, and the Ohio State University and other state-supported institutions Ii; Ohio have Interpreted the statute to apply only to persons who were bonaflde citizens of Ohio at the time they eniisted and had lived in the state for a| least one year before the law went Id to effect.

J PUBLISHERS iosoososoooooee*sso*B*»t "$500,000,000 Is the startling sum, according to federal authorities, which Is lost annually by the American public In worthless securities," stated Postmaster Coburn today. "Many of these securities, sold by high pressure salesmen, represent new enterprises or which 87 out of 100 failed, according to records covering a 15 year period." "The Chief reason for much of the foregoing loss Is the desire by the investor for an abnormal return. An Investor should always bear In mind that the promise of a high interest rate indicated risk." The Postmaster declared that the safest and most simple way to conserve your principal Is to Invest in Treasury Saving Certificates, which have behind them the entire resources of the United States Government These certificates, if held Ave years will net the buyer 4% compounded semi-annually free from all state and local taxes, (except estate and Inheritance taxes), and the normal federal Income tax. At the local post ofllce $S20 will buy a $1,000 certificate. $82 u $100 certificate and $20.50 a $25 certificate. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cromwell spent Sunday evening in Elyria. rWMArVWVrVWVAMfWWvVWV'.

The sign reading "2 1-2 miles to Amherst, The Sandstone Center of the World", wnlch was erected at Whlskeyvllle some time ago by the Amherst Business Mens' Association, l.as been defaced, according to reports. The first part of Ihe sign reads correctly, but the "Sundstone Center of the World" has been blotted out with black paint, which of course does not make the meaning of the sign complete as intended when It wus erected. The black paint was "smeared" on, too, Instead of put on In u becoming manner, which speuks ill of the person or persons who committed the deed end might add to the charge of defacing. Thn business men arranged to have the sign made, paid cash for the making, and errecting it for the purpose of aiding motorists, only to have a person, or persons deface lt. It sure is discouraging to go to this trouble and expense and then huve someone commit such a degrading trick. Defacing, it seems, is a thing everybody should do every chance they get becuuse it will aid them In becoming great and amounting to something In this world. We eurnestly hope that the person or persons who did the de- facing, achieve greutness through the satisfaction of destroying something ond that they will be well repaid for their action. Then on the other hand, defacing is u child's trick. Children do things not thinking ut the time whut harm is being done. Perhaps the sign was defaced by children? Who knows? "The Sundstone Center of the World" cun bo painted over on signs, but the spirit In which it is used can i.ever be painted over. Let us suy ugain, that we hope that be, she or those, who so delight in painting uchieve the greutness they so desire, and become one of the shining lights in the realm of art. Let hw, she, or those, lu telling the world where they got their sturt bo sure to mention their first works, thut ot blotting off with black paint six words at the bottom of a common wood sign at Whlskeyvllle, sometime In the year 1923. ..-. ; Peter and James Ouy, of Cleveland, spent Sunday In Amherst.

Two of these, Guernseys and Shorthorns, set a new mark for Columbus competition. The management shows eight breeds ot swine, and out of these there are only two that have fallen below previous marks. A drive has been made this year to Increase the size ot this department. Ohio ranked third in the United States in this competition for several years, the lowest standing of any phase of Fair activities. The one department in which Ohio leads the world Is Sheep, and this year's exhibition is a culmination of several years of record breaking performances. Over 2,000 animals will be shown in the Judging ring the week ot August 27, a mark that Is almost twice that of any other sheep show over held. Outstanding among the fourteen breeds, is the Spanish Merino. Half of the number of this sheep In the United States are within the confines of Ohio. It Is, therefore, Interesting to note that the world's largest breeder of Merino Sheep has entered a flock for the coming competition. This is Mr. J. Blamer ot Johns town, Ohio, who at present has t'ou. flocks touring the country. AVIATOR WRITES ADVERTISING IN 8KY.

NO IMPLICATION THAT TOO MUCH MONEY IS SPENT BUT CASE MUST BE MADE WITH TAXPAYER, 8AY3 RIEGEL. That It Is necossary for school authorities to satisfy the public that the prensont educational system of the state ts giving adequate returns for the money that Is now being Invested In education before any general attempt is made to obtain more funds by increased taxation is the conclusion Just announced by Director of Education Vernon M. Rlegel. This does not Imply that too much money is being spent on education, In the judgment of Director Rlegel, but does mean that an effort must ty) marie to present tangible evidence to the taxpayer that will be conclusive on the question of fir an re. "An educational system can be pronounced to be adequate only when It brings ail Individuals In contact with such Influences and experiences as will enable them to live up to their possibilities and to do that work which they are by nature best equipped to do," says the state school head. "That this may be accomplished it may be necessary to spend more on education than we are now spending but, until we are able to measure the results ot the financial Investment in education, we shall not be able to determine how much more money is needed, if any. No brief can be submitted to the pub- Vc until proper scientific surveys and Investigations have been made, and logical conclusions deduced." It is pointed out that a big saving in the cost of elementary education might be made by a better plan ot classlflcatlno of pupils, by a more flexible system of promotions, by a proper evaluation, selection, and adaption ot subject matter, and by teacher improvement. A thorough study ot existing conditions and a careful appraisal of results Is held to be especially appropriate .lust now. Asserting that the school buildings built in Ohio during the last ten years or more have cost on the average twenty-live per cent more than they should have, Director Rlegel places the blame upon "an inflexible and antiquated building code, ornamentation, waste space, and Improper utilization of space." The State director believes that local tux levies will have to be depended upon for the greater part of school revenues, but that the county and state should be the units for providing educational equalization funds. WORLD WAR VETS ENTITLED Tl TUITION About two years ago the Ohio general assembly enacted a law. known as the Jones act. which provides that an honorably discharged soldier, sailor, nurse of marine who served In the World War and had lived In the state for at least a year, shall not be required to pay any tuition or matriculation fee ut any school, college or university receiving state funds in Its support. Congressamn Davey has received complaints from several ex-service men who have applied for admission to such Institutions and have been required to pay the matriculation fee, and he Is making an Investigation. In corresponding with Dr. W. O. Thompson, president of the Ohio State University, he Informed Mr. Davey that the language of the law Is not clear as to whether lt applies only to bonaflde citizens of the State of Ohio or to ex-service men from other states as well. Mr. Jones, who Introduced tho mea sure, has stated that he had In mind to make provision for soldiers who had enlisted or were drafted from Ohio, and the Ohio State University and other state-supported institutions Ii; Ohio have Interpreted the statute to apply only to persons who were bonaflde citizens of Ohio at the time they eniisted and had lived in the state for a| least one year before the law went Id to effect.

J PUBLISHERS iosoososoooooee*sso*B*»t "$500,000,000 Is the startling sum, according to federal authorities, which Is lost annually by the American public In worthless securities," stated Postmaster Coburn today. "Many of these securities, sold by high pressure salesmen, represent new enterprises or which 87 out of 100 failed, according to records covering a 15 year period." "The Chief reason for much of the foregoing loss Is the desire by the investor for an abnormal return. An Investor should always bear In mind that the promise of a high interest rate indicated risk." The Postmaster declared that the safest and most simple way to conserve your principal Is to Invest in Treasury Saving Certificates, which have behind them the entire resources of the United States Government These certificates, if held Ave years will net the buyer 4% compounded semi-annually free from all state and local taxes, (except estate and Inheritance taxes), and the normal federal Income tax. At the local post ofllce $S20 will buy a $1,000 certificate. $82 u $100 certificate and $20.50 a $25 certificate. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cromwell spent Sunday evening in Elyria. rWMArVWVrVWVAMfWWvVWV'.

The sign reading "2 1-2 miles to Amherst, The Sandstone Center of the World", wnlch was erected at Whlskeyvllle some time ago by the Amherst Business Mens' Association, l.as been defaced, according to reports. The first part of Ihe sign reads correctly, but the "Sundstone Center of the World" has been blotted out with black paint, which of course does not make the meaning of the sign complete as intended when It wus erected. The black paint was "smeared" on, too, Instead of put on In u becoming manner, which speuks ill of the person or persons who committed the deed end might add to the charge of defacing. Thn business men arranged to have the sign made, paid cash for the making, and errecting it for the purpose of aiding motorists, only to have a person, or persons deface lt. It sure is discouraging to go to this trouble and expense and then huve someone commit such a degrading trick. Defacing, it seems, is a thing everybody should do every chance they get becuuse it will aid them In becoming great and amounting to something In this world. We eurnestly hope that the person or persons who did the de- facing, achieve greutness through the satisfaction of destroying something ond that they will be well repaid for their action. Then on the other hand, defacing is u child's trick. Children do things not thinking ut the time whut harm is being done. Perhaps the sign was defaced by children? Who knows? "The Sundstone Center of the World" cun bo painted over on signs, but the spirit In which it is used can i.ever be painted over. Let us suy ugain, that we hope that be, she or those, who so delight in painting uchieve the greutness they so desire, and become one of the shining lights in the realm of art. Let hw, she, or those, lu telling the world where they got their sturt bo sure to mention their first works, thut ot blotting off with black paint six words at the bottom of a common wood sign at Whlskeyvllle, sometime In the year 1923. ..-. ; Peter and James Ouy, of Cleveland, spent Sunday In Amherst.
