Wooster High School
It’s 30th Annual Commencement.
Graduates a Class of Fifty-Six—Large Audience Witness the Exercises at City Hall.
The “Peoples’ College,” as Wooster High School is popularly called, held its 30th annual commencement in City Opera House last Thursday evening. Much public interest was felt to witness the proceedings, for the prosperity and everything concerning our schools is nearer the public heart than any other institution. The result was that not half of those who wanted to attend could obtain seats or even standing room in the Opera House, which was filled to its utmost capacity with an audience of over 1,000.
The decorations of the house and stage were neat and appropriate. The display of Class colors, purple and lavender, was prominent in graceful streamers and festooning, and the stage ornamentation of flowers and plants was of beautiful effect. When the curtain rose a handsome scene was presented to the assemblage, consisting of the 56 graduates and Supt. Haupert, teachers and Board of Education amid a bower of flowers and plants and ferns. The following are the

Names of the Graduates:
Girls—Jennie Acker, Bertha Auman, Fay Bowman, Mila Branstetter, Eunice Clark, Etta Crabbs, Maud Cummings, Bertha Cunningham, Daisy Derr, Nellie D’Miler, Grace Dunlap, Sadie Eberhart, Flora Elliot, Estella Ellsperman, Maud Ellsperman, Bertha Gasche, Isabelle Graham, Flora Grossenbach, Agatha Hard, Grace Hartman, Zella Hoffman, Anna Kostenbader, Anna Langell, Ethel Lerch, Florence Limb, Nannie McClarren, Jennie McElroy, Lulu Moore, Nina Mower, Blanche Myers, Reba Nachtrieb, Alice Ogen, Carrie Phillips, Gertrude Reed, Erma Rowe, Eva Schuch, Gertrude Shibley, Myrtle Shipley, Mary Stewart, Gipsy Taylor, Birdie Wilhalm, Anna Yoder.

Boys—Edward Davidson, Charles Dawson, Thomp. Downing, Sterling Funk, Harry Hurst, Tracy Leyda, Chas. McKinney, Williard Ohliger, Howard Reed, George Ross, Will Saybolt, Chas Sang, Wayne Swartz, Edwin Wallace.

Their motto is “aut vincere aut mori” either to conquer or to die. Only a portion of the class took part in the performances, and all participating in the exercises did well, some surpassing others, of course. Their productions are published complete in the High School Annual where they can be read and judged. The music, conducted by Miss martha A. Webster, expressed her ability as a teacher. The following was the
Programme Of Exercises [which is very difficult to read, so I’m skipping it]
It was a late hour when the long list closed but all had been very good and the audience well pleased. The “Shakespearean Medley” was interesting and skillfully mixed up parts of Shakespeare’s plays and was specially well performed. Prof. Haupert, Superintendent of the schools, made a good address to the class and audience. He complimented the class highly, and to citizens expressed his appreciation of the interest the general public took in the public schools. The diplomas were then presented to the graduates, and the exercises closed with all singing the Class Song.

Novel Entertainment.
The Cosmorama of Trade and Art Last Night.
The English Lutheran Ladies Organize a Fine Affair and the Young Ladies Do Their Parts Most Attractively.
[From Wednesday’s Daily.]
Had more time been given in preparation, the affair would have been much better advertised and as a result of this the “Cosmorama of Trade and Art” given in the City Opera House last night under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Englich Lutheran church, would have been much more largely patronized, as it well deserved to be. As it was, about 400 persons enjoyed the rather novel display and show. The entertainment was under the direction of J. Henry Garis, of Chicago. The use of the calcium lights on many of the tableaux groupings, living pictures and displays, added greatly to the beauty and the effect, especially in the grand march, in which about 75 persons participated, and which was at times dazzling. Much ingenuity and skill were manifested in the way man of the young ladies were dressed. Some of the business firms were not only represented in the march but had special scenes that were beautiful, appropriate and clever in conception. Taking into consideration the short time spent in preparation this show can be put down as a success, but as another result of the lack of time in preparing for the event there was some delay in getting started.
When the curtain rose for the first time eight little misses, Tootsie Nice, Hazel Brown, Edith and Flo Tawney, Lena Kettler, Fanny Johnson, Cora Imgard and May Yarnell walked out on the stage and sang “John Brown” in a way that took the house by storm. Later in the evening the same Misses gave a “Topsy-Turvey” song and scene that again provoded laughter. These little girls also aided greatly in the appearance of the representation of the firms, one of them walking out each time carrying a card bearing the name of the firm whose “living advertisement” followed. The following firms were represented, and came on the scene in the order named:

As Mr. Miller was about closing the house for the night, he heard a noise on the porch. Upon opening the door, the crowd took possession of the house and from that time on Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the guests of their friends.

The affair was very cunningly planned and as Miss Doan went to the phone in the Limb home in response to a call, she was surrounded by twenty four friends. Of course the call was a ruse to put Miss Doan in a better position to be surprised. In connection with the surprise, a great number of presents in hand painted china, cut glass and linen were bestowed upon the bride to be. Five Hundred was played and the first prize, a bon bon dish, was won by Miss Anna Diehl, the other falling to Miss Lucile Buckley. A delicious lunch was neatly served by Miss Limb.

Miss Limb Is New Deputy
Succeeds C.J. King In Office Of Treasurer Zaugg
Miss Nora Hostetler Will Take Position Now Held by Miss Limb — Mr. King to Reside on King Farm in the Near Future

County Treasurer W.H. Zaugg stated Thursday that he would appoint Miss Florence Limb first assistant in the treasurer’s office, following the resignation of C.J. King, efficient deputy who will quit March 1 and move to the farm owned by his father, who died recently near Orrville.
Miss Nora Hostetler, of Sugarcreek township, who has helped out in the treasurer’s office at times, will take Miss Limb’s place. Mr. King has promised to return for three days during the busy time in June and Treasurer Zaugg believes that the business will be well taken care of very nicely.
In thinking the matter over, Mr. Zaugg realized that it would be hard to induce a man the equal of Mr. King to take the position for a few months, for his term expires in the fall. Miss Limb has been a valuable employe, and is very capable of doing the work that will be turned over to her.

Unreadable Headline About a Study of Twins
It might be interesting to others to watch and study twins and their variations but nothing can compare with the fun that twins themselves have when they “look alike.” Daniel Funk, local attorney, tells of some of his experiences with twin sisters. One time Mr. Funk was asked to take Miss R. to a social gathering. When he called at the house a young lady admitted him. She left Mr. Funk with her brother in the parlor while she went to get her wraps. She returned to the parlor in company with her sister—dressed exactly alike. Mr. Funk was not only face to face with twin sisters but an embarrassing situation as well. He didn’t know which one he was to escort to the party, but he took the one nearest to him and went to the party just the same. All during the evening Mr. Funk was the target for many jokes. On the return to the twins’ home, he determined to find out whether he had the right or wrong girl. He accomplished this by referring to the same things he talked about when he first entered the girl’s home. He had the wrong girl for she didn’t know what he was talking about.
At another time Mr. Funk asked one of these same twins to go to the opera house with him. The one he asked had seen the play so she told her twin sister to go with Mr. Funk. Mr. Funk piloted his friend to the play entirely unconscious of any duplicity. Nevertheless, when he found it out, he was just as amused as the twins were.

Some Are Alike,
Others Different
This leading up to the subject of this article—Some of Wooster’s twins. Below will be found a brief account of the similarities and differences between a number of twins.

The Diehl Sisters
Though one of these twins is married and the other single the resemblance remains as confusing as when they were in the same home. Miss Anna Diehl is employed in the People’s Savings and Loan office; her sister, Emma, is the wife of W.G. Schott. They are the daughters of Mrs. Lena Diehl of East Liberty street. Miss Diehl states that their tastes are alike, they like the same people, their teeth are formed alike and they wear the same size shoes and gloves. This great likeness has been apparent since their babyhood.
An Orrville man tells of an unusual experience with the Diehl twins. While one was employed at the court house some years ago, the other worked at the then Plank & Gray mill, East Liberty street. The Orrville man quite frequently accosted both of them, but he didn’t know there were two. He learned to know Miss Diehl at the court house. He complained to a friend one day about “her” conduct.
“When I meet her at the court house she is always pleasant and friendly,” he said, “but when I meet her down here on East Liberty street she walks past without even looking at me.”

The Fouch Brothers
Thurman Fouch and Sherman Fouch are twins, but their resemblance is not as marked as in many other cases. Thurman is a farmer living near Wooster. He weights more than Sherman who is a rubber worker in Akron. Sherman is taller and more slender than his brother though both are tall. Thurman is darker featured than Sherman.

The Annat Sisters
During their girlhood days, the resemblance between Clarissa and Adelia Annat was very noticeable but since they married and are away from each other, the likeness has diminished. Clarissa is now Mrs. Walter Tyler of this city and Adelia is Mrs. Edward Shupe of Cleveland. Mrs. Annat states that their tastes were very similar when they were young girls. One is wholly right handed while the other is able to use her left hand as readily as the other hand.

The Carl Twins
Paul and Pauline, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Carl, East North street, are as unlike in every way as strangers. The children are two years and five months of age. Paul is quick tempered and gets over his “tantrum” in a hurry. Pauline is slower to wrath and is more sincere. Paul is light haired fat little boy, while Pauline is dark-eyed and slender. The Carl twins get along nicely together in playing, despite their different natures.

The Thompson Sisters
Here are twin sisters who have little in common, except in the matter of style in clothes. The Thompson twins are 18 years of age. Miss Irene is employed in the main office of the Buckeye Aluminum Co. She is more slender than her sister and weighs less. She has light hair and sings alto. Miss Ruth Thompson is Titian haired which explains why there is always a bit of wrestling match when the subject of color comes up. Irene can wear red, but Ruth’s hair protests against that hue. Ruth sings soprano and is attending college. The sisters are the same height and are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Thompson.

The Limb Twins
While there is still a resemblance between Miss Florence Limb and her twin brother, George S. Limb, in their school days, the likeness was greater. Their tastes were identical and in school both scored high grades in arithmetic. For 18 years Miss Limb has been one of the main assistants in the county treasurer’s office so it is easy to see that her school record is used to good advantage now. Mr. Limb is city letter carrier. Miss Limb’s predecessor in the county treasurer’s office was Miss Emma Diehl, who is also a twin, and who is mentioned elsewhere in this article. An incident that is both peculiar and significant is told by Miss Limb: “When my brother George reached Montauk Point from Cuba in 1898, he was overcome by an attack of typhoid malaria. I took sick with the same malady the same day he did. The day he reached home I told my folks that he would be at home that day, though no one had informed me of his coming.”

The Gray Sisters
Phyllis and Doris Gray, five years old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gray, are another pair of twins that are unlike. Phyllis is lighter haired and her blue eyes are darker than her sistner’s. Phyllis is not easily excited, but when she gets angry she pouts around a while. Doris is quick spirited, but soon forgets the flash of temper. Doris has always been a half-inch shorter than Phyllis, but they weigh the same.

The Smith Brothers
Russell and Roger, twin sons of Dr. and Mrs. Alonzo Smith, are so ….unreadable at top of next column…The little four years old lads cling together like leeches. When one asks his mamma for bread or cookies, he always asks for his brother, too.

The Goodheart Sisters
Estella Mae and Luella Fay are twin sisters of Mr. and Mrs. U.S. Goodheart of North Market street. The resemblance between them is great. They are freshmen in Wooster college. These young ladies who are eighteen years of age, have great fun in fooling their friends. More than once Estella has recited her lesson to the teacher when the teacher thought she was listening to Luella. Their intelligence is evidently similar for the general averages in grades does not vary more than one per cent. There is but one half inch difference in their height and two pounds difference in their weight. One remarkable feature about the twins is their ability to use mental telepathy. If one can’t recall a name or object, the other can tell instantly what it is.

The Delmont Twins
Paul and Pauling are the 14 year old son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Delmont. This brother and sister do not act nor look alike. The fact that both have had typhoid fever and their collar bones broken may or may not be attributed to them being twins. Mrs. Delmont says that if one gets sick the other may not get sick immediately afterward, but sooner or later a similar sickness overtakes the other one. Paul is left handed. As in the case of other twins, they champion each other’s cause and will fight hard for one another.

The Scott Sisters
Out on East North street and next door to the E.G. Carl twins, live Miss Ruth and Miss Roxy Scott, 18 years old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scott. Since their birth their weight has not varied more than one pound. Both young ladies have dark eyes and dark hair. They are built so nearly alike that Mrs. Scott puzzled to know which is which if they are a distance away from her. One must know them quite well to be able to tell one from the other.

The Myers Twins
Waco and Mosco Myers are the twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Myers and are 14 years of age. Waco is dark haired and has dark blue eyes. She weighs more than Mosco. Mrs. Myers in describing her twin daughters says, “Waco is calm and ?? while Mosco is very spirited. Waco is domestic while Mosco does not care a bit about that kind of work. The girls do not resemble each other and are really different in every way. Waco has light brown hair and light blue eyes.”

Gabriel Twins
Florence Mae and Frances Fay, 14 year old daughters of Mrs. Hannah C. Gabriel of East Bowman street, are so nearly alike that when one had an operation for appendicitis, the other followed “suite” not long afterward. Both have had their tonsils removed and in their actions, thoughts and appearance they are very much alike. Their height and weight have varied but little since birth. Mrs. Gabriel describes their likeness in these terms. “The girls are more loyal to each other than they are to me. It is only lately that they will wear clothes that are not absolutely alike in every way.”

There are many other twins in the community, among them being Dorothy and Archie Kramer, Ed and Lewis Scobey, Paul and Pauline Humbert, Robert and Raymond Dix.

NOTE: M.R. Limb has won his first term as Mayor for Wooster.

Council Ends Work For Year
Thanks “Uncle George” Schwartz For Museum Effort — Pay Employees Early.
Last night’s meeting of Wooster city council — the last meeting of the year — breathed the spirit of Christmas cheer.
Council, following a time-honored custom, passed a resolution directing City Auditor V.M. Skelly to pay all city officers and employees their December salaries “on or before December 24th, in the spirit of the season.” The resolution becomes effective immediately and on Saturday the city auditor will hand out the pay for December to all persons on the city payrolls although one week of that pay still remains unearned.
Council also extended its appreciation to City Engineer C.E. Rice for his “faithful and regular” attendance at council meetings. Councilman J.E. Weiser making the motion and declaring that council wanted to thank him for the help he had given the body. Mr. Rice’s duties, the councilman pointed out, did not require his attendance at council meetings.
Another matter passed upon which had a Christmassy atmosphere was brought about through Councilman W.A. Kerr. Mr. Kerr stated that in George J. Schwartz, chief booster for the Wooster museum, Wooster had a citizen who had done more for the community in a way, than perhaps any other man in the state. Mr. Kerr declared that Mr. Schwartz’s work was deserving of public recognition, and he made a motion that city council, on behalf of the people of the city, thank Mr. Schwartz, publicly and officially, for the work he has done. The motion passed by unanimous vote and Auditor Skelly was instructed to communicate council’s action to Mr. Schwartz by letter.
Mr. Kerr stated that he regretted that council could not make an appropriation of money to further the museum work. He pointed out that this money could be used most advantageously, but that no appropriation could replace the “labor of love for this and future generations” that Mr. Schwartz has performed for the community.

Bond of Mayor-elect
Gets Council’s O.K.
One of the first matters brought up at the meeting was the bond of Mayor-elect M.R. Limb. The bond for $1,000 was signed by his sister Miss Florence Limb, and his brother, Karl M. Limb, and was accepted as wholly satisfactory.

Jackson Day Celebrated In Glorious Way
Deeds of the Past Extolled and Bright Hopes for the Future Are Given.
The Democratic party, as old as the United States, as full of vitality now as in the days of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, a living force for all time, these were the chief points brought out Monday evening by the speakers at the annual Jackson Day celebration, at the opera house.
The speakers were Congressman-elect John McSweeney of Wooster, chairman of the evening, Mrs. Clarence Renshaw of Pittsburg, a noted woman worker in the Democratic party of Pennsylvania and adjoining states, and Congressman H. Thomas Connalley, of Texas, who made a speech here during the last campaign and so impressed his hearers that the Jackson Day speakers committee prevailed upon him to return to give the Jackson Day address.
The opera house was filled by 7:30 o’clock. Conrad’s orchestra delighted the audience until the speakers took their places on the stage. Rev. F.S. Zaugg pronounced the invocation, beseeching the Almighty to continue to guide and bless the United States as a government and the inhabitants as individuals.
During a short pause the ushers, who were young ladies, seated the people who had been standing in the rear of the house. The ushers were the Misses Gladys Marshall, Mary Markley, Dorothy Critchfield, Mary Kaylor, Pouline Keeney and Faye Darr. The young ladies were diligent and courteous and made a decided impression with the audience.
Congressman McSweeney then spoke briefly and expressed his thanks to the Jackson Day committee for the privilege of presiding. He also expressed his thanks to the voters of the congressional district for the honors extended in the November election.
“We choose a day when Andrew Jackson served his country to recall the achievements of illustrious Democrats of America since the founding of the republic. I am not here to make a long address. You will hear of those illustrious Democrats from other speakers tonight and I take pleasure in introducing to you Mrs. Clarence Renshaw of Pittsburg,” said the chairman.

Mrs. Renshaw
Able Speaker.
Mrs. Renshaw opened her address by saying that for two years she had longed for an invitation to address an audience at a Jackson Day celebration and that she ??ptly accepted the invitation this year when she received it from the speakers’ committee chairman, Attorney A.D. Metz.
Mrs. Renshaw divided her address into two parts. The first was the criticism of the Republican administration at Washington and the second was an eulogy of the Democratic leaders from Jefferson to Wilson. She based her remarks upon the premise that the nations of the world are facing another crisis and that the present is a time to try men’s souls.
“Would that we had in Washington today the stamina of Andrew Jackson,.” Mrs. Renshaw said, “I claim the Republican party has become a liability instead of an asset.”
Mrs. Renshaw then paid her respects to President Harding, the members of the cabinet, the Republican tariff and congress, bonus bill and the ship subsidy. Wit, humor and sarcasm sparkled as the words came freely and rapidly from her lips. Mrs. Renshaw is a small woman of vigorous speech, an earnest speaker and convincing in her manner before an audience.
Then Mrs. Renshaw outlined the great work done for America by Jefferson, jackson, Madison and Wilson. She closed her ?? address with a magnificent ?? to the idealism of wilson, declaring this idealism raised the issues of the world war out of the sordid commercialism and conquest to the plane of the welfare of humanity and the hastening of the day of the brotherhood of man.

Quartette
Is Heard.
?? ?? McSweeney then introduced a male quartette comprising of Messrs Taylor, Frederick, Wilmer and Russell. The singers made a hit and were encored.
In introducing Congressman Connalley, Chairman McSweeney with deep feeling paid a tribute to the united Democratic party of the north and south and said that ?? his experience in southern ?? during the war he knows the sectional feeling has gone from the United States forever.
The same thought was responded by Congressman Connalley when he began to speak.

Have Built
New South.
“We have built a new south since the days of strife between the states. The old sores have been healed. Boys from Dixie marched away to war with boys from Ohio and some of the boys from each section gave their all in France,” said the Texas congressman.
“I was here in the campaign that ended with the November casualties and I am here again tonight. I have been doubly honored and I now take the occasion to thank you for the honors,” said Mr. Connalley.
“I want to pay tribute to Ohio’s Democracy. I value Ohio’s Democracy because through victory and defeat you have been following the banner of a principle instead of a raid upon the public treasury.”
“To serve the citizen is one of the highest traits in the country. We congratulate Ohio’s Democracy for placing a Democratic governor in the chair at Columbus today. We also congratulate Ohio’s Democracy for sending your honored citizen to congress. We will welcome him.
“The world needs the Democratic party. The significance of Jackson day is in the fact that we may pledge anew our faith in those principles of Democracy. Jackson carried his Democracy into the White House. He was not abashed by a monarch or money. He was faithful to the trust of the common people Jackson day is a muster day of the Democrats of the nation.”
Congressman Connalley then traced the struggle between rulers and the common people from the time of the struggle in England to the present time. He enlarged upon this theme as the struggle found expression in the American revolution with a victorious end, that brought the dictum that all men are created equal. He extolled the works of Jefferson and said that Jackson cemented the work that had previously been started.
“We adhere to the principles of the Democratic party because we believe the people can more equitably work out their economic salvation, happiness and welfare,” said the speaker.
Congressman Connalley then spoke of the great vitality of the Democratic party, declaring that while other political parties have come and gone, the Democratic party continues to be a vital and dominating force in the United States.
“And it will continue to be such down through the ages,” said the congressman in closing.

Banquet Crowd Largest
In Party’s History
There were two hundred and fifty persons in attendance at the banquet in Kauke Hall basement, this affair following immediately the meeting at the opera house. Kauke Hall was chosen because no down town hall was large enough, and the committee in charge received many congratulations because of the change which enabled all to be accommodated. Because no other hall could accommodate so many, officers of the occasion declared it was evident that the number in attendance was larger than at any past Jackson banquet. More than fifty ladies were present.
The feast was served in the most admirable way by the ladies of the First Presbyterian church and the menu was the subject of much favorable comment. Conrad’s orchestra furnished the music.
A.H. Etling, of Orrville, made a most gracious toastmaster. The invocation was given by Rev. S.M.F. Nesbitt. During the evening the toastmaster read the following telegram from Cordell Hull, chairman of the National Democratic executive committee:

“Please convey my greetings to Jackson Day meeting with a message of strong conficence in overwhelming Democratic victory in 1924. There would be no more valient champion of Democracy nor a more bitter foe of Republicanism than Jackson if living today. Democrats should take nothing for granted, but fight as Jackson would fight and a long reign of Democracy will be assured.”

The toastmaster also read letters from W.W. Durbin, state chairman, Carl V. Weygandt of Cleveland, Senator Atlee Pomerene, and State Representative W.W. Garver of Millersburg.
The chief speakers at the banquet were Congressman Connalley, Mrs. Renshaw and Hamilton O. Deweese. Congressman Connalley’s southern negro stories were declared to be among the best ever told in Wooster. Others who responded to toasts were Congressman elect John McSweeney, A.D. Metz, County Chairman Dean Weimer, Mrs. H.U. Mowery, women’s chairman; Miss Jean Darr, chairman of the Jackson Day committee, Dr. J.D. Beer and Michael Booth. The length of the opera house meeting made the banquet get under way at a late hour thus cutting down the number of banquet toasts.

Calendar Party
One of the most elaborately planned social events in Lutheran church circles held in many months was given Tuesday night at the home of Mrs. Zeno Miller, by members of the Ellsperman Bible class. Uniquely written invitations caused 30 members to respond and all went, knowing that something in the way of unusual in the entertainment line was forthcoming. A full evening’s pleasure was derived from the features to represent each month in the year. The party itself was termed a calendar party. The following stunts, contests, etc., were presented, beginning with January and ending with December: Resolutions, matching hatchets, potato race, peanut hunt (minus the kernels which represented April Fool), drawing flowers, dressing brides (clothespins), fishing party, chatting and visiting by groups, spelling match, apple eating, recipes for pumpkin pies and Christmas songs. The lunch, served cafeteria style, was most delicious. The hostesses, who deserve a whole lot of praise for their earnest efforts to entertain, were Mrs. Zero Miller, Mrs. Will Kelm, Mrs. Warren Gerberich, Miss Florence Limb and Miss Mary Acker. The constant endeavor of this class to keep the band of members interested and working is one of the main reasons why it is among the growing and thrifty classes of the Sunday school.

Canton Wright Gives Banquet
Champion I.O.O.F. Drill Team Entertains in Commodious Lodge Room.
One of the many pleasant phases of lodge life was typified last night when Canton Wright, No. 77, entertained their wives, families and friends at the first banquet to be held in the remodeled I.O.O.F. hall. While the final touches were being put to the dinner, the guests assembled on the third floor for social features.
When dinner was announced, all filed to the large dining room where the tables in the form of a maltese cross presented a most attractive picture. Eighty-five covers were laid amid a very pretty arrangement of candles and flowers. Purple and white, official colors of Canton Wright, featured the appointments.
Carnations were presented to the ladies by the following young ladies who served the three courses: Mrs. John Frick, Mrs. Roy McKee, Mrs. Lloyd Braden, Miss Edith Houser, Miss Inez cameron, Miss Alfa Fike, Miss Evelyn Welton, Miss Florence Limb and Miss Eva Ackerman. It would have been impossible to have prepared a more delicious menu than was served last night. The ladies in the kitchen deserve lots of credit for the complete satisfaction registered on the face of the people sitting at the tables. Good service was rendered by the waitresses which all combined to make the fore-part of the evening such a great success. The menu was: fruit cocktail, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked noodles, salad, cranberry sauce, two kinds of bread, ice cream, angel food cake, coffee and mints.
The intermission between the banquet and dancing was given over to general intermingling and getting better acquainted. Some played cards and others spent the time over the pool tables. The attention was not long in being focused on the dance floor when the three piece orchestra composed of Ben and Harry Alcock and Emil Conrad, struck up some very delightful music.
Capt. Forbes Alcock, whom everyone knows is accredited with being largely instrumental in having his men win such high national honors in competitive drill, remains the central figure in all Canton Wright social affairs. Despite his more than three score years of which he is very proud, Capt. Alcock possesses the spirit of youth that is exhilarating to all who come in contact with him. Last night on the dance floor he was just as lithe as the youngest. This has been one of the secrets of his success.
This annual banquet is one of the red letter days for Canton Wrights and those who comprise the guest list. The remodeled lodge home now offers many opportunities for more extensive entertainment. The presence of two prominent Canton officials from No. 6 Mansfield, was a real pleasure. They were Capt. E.W. Wagner and Chevalier Wm. Koppes.

Prominent Young People Join Hands In Wedlock
The words “to love and cherish,” which have been spoken innumerable times since Romance came to life, were repeated by Miss Irene Funk and George Limb, Wooster young people, Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the Episcopal rectory. The minister before whom the couple stood while exchanging the vows of wedlock was Dr. J. Frank Jackson of St. James Episcopal church. Miss Florence Limb, aunt of Mr. Limb, was present to witness the ceremony which included the ring service.
Miss Funk, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Funk, graduated from McKinley high school at Canton and later attended Ohio State University. Returning to Wooster, Miss Funk entered the employ of Landes & Landes, and then was selected by the late Miss Armstrong to be deputy in the clerk of courts office. Though a mere girl, Miss Funk filled both positions with much credit. Her efficiency and modest manner formed a delightful combination which was noticeable to all. She is also a bride of unusual fitness for a home maker, possessing domestic qualities and a distinct charm.
Mr. Limb, son of Mayor M.R. Limb, has made big strides in the business world and is now owner of the Radio Mfg. and Service Co. of South Buckeye street. He was radio engineer on the U.S.S. Texas in the North sea for two years, and may be said to be one of the pioneer radio enthusiasts of the state. He is a young man of keen intellect and determination. He graduated from Wooster high school, attended Wooster college two years and Ohio State university one year.
Cozily furnished living quarters in the new Palmer apartment house on North Walnut street will soon be occupied by the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. Limb have a long list of friends who join in wishing them the happiness and prosperity they so well deserve.

That Miss Florence Limb, deputy county treasurer, may become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for treasurer, was the word being passed around in local political circles today. A definite decision in the matter will be reached by Miss Limb in a short time, it was reported.
Miss Limb was named deputy in the treasurer’s office by former treasurer George J. Krieger, and she has served under the succeeding administrations of W.A. Wilson, Wesley H. Zaugg, Jesse Matteson and the present treasurer, J.M. Russell. All of these men, friends of Miss Limb assert, would be more than willing to vouch for her competency in administering the office.

New Treasurer Takes Office On Sept. 7
On Monday, September 7, Miss Florence Limb becomes county treasurer, succeeding John Russell, who is now completing two terms in office. Mr. Russell is completing his work so that his slate will be clean when he hands the keys of office to his successor.
Miss Limb was elected last November. She has been in the treasurer’s office a number of years and understands the work of the office. The making out of the December tax receipts will be one of the bit duties in the office after she takes charge.

“I have enjoyed the work and I trust I have done what is right toward the public, whom I tried to serve.”
Treasurer and Mrs. Russell will make a trip to California in the near future to visit relatives and friends.
Miss Limb was elected treasurer last November. She will be in charge of the office beginning next Tuesday morning. The office will not be open Labor Day. One of the duties coming to Miss Limb next Tuesday will be that as a member of the county board of review of real estate appraisement valuations she will serve with Commissioner Franks and Auditor Heller in viewing property and making adjustments of valuation. This work will require at least a month’s time.

Tax Paying Time is Delayed Little While
It is sad, but true, that County Treasurer Florence Limb and her assistants cannot receive taxes.
However, there are no pushing crowds trying to break into the office to pay taxes, but there is an occasional inquirer, who desires to pay his debt to the county.
The reason is that the tax rates have not been made and most of them cannot be made until after election day because of the large number of special tax issues that will come before the voters on the county’s sub-divisions. Measures to provide money for schools will be before voters in several townships. In Franklin township the question of providing money to transport pupils to high schools will be up to the voters.

N.O.T. Includes Wayne County In Suits
Wants Interlocutory Decree Against the Collection of Taxes.
Cleveland, Dec. 16—The Northern Ohio Traction Co. filed in federal court, a petition asking for an interlocutory injunction against eight northern Ohio county treasurers’ collection of taxes from the traction company. The petition charges the taxes were excessive according to the value of the company’s possessions.
It was explained that in 1924 the traction officials went before the Ohio tax commission and asked a reappraisal of the company’s value. The commission held the property was worth $27,061, 180. The petition charges that the treasurers in the eight counties mentioned charged the company taxes exceeding even that valuation. The injunction is against collection of the first and second installments of the taxes for 1925, which are due December 20 and January 20. The court will act some time before Dec. 20.
Named in the petition are Treasurers Elmer E. Lee, Medina county; G. Lloyd Weil, Summit; Walter Cook, Cuyahoga; Maud Marsh, Portage; Florence Limb, Wayne; R.W. Walter, Tuscarawas; Luther H. Tarleton, Noble; and A.F. Bowman, Stark county.

Road Levy Of County Cut By Budget Board
Cut Made in This Department Constitutes Nearly Whole of Co. Reduction
The Wayne County Budget Commission, composed of County Treasurer Florence Limb, County Auditor William Heller and County Prosecutor J.O. Fritz, tackled today the task of fixing Wayne county tax rates.
Steam roller tactics were predicted on the part of the Budget Commission, members of which expressed a determination to keep rates as low as possible. Because of the brief time allotted to officers and interested residents of each taxing district, it was apparent when the first session started today that no extended hearings would be granted. Each delegation will be permitted to state its case and if the amounts asked are higher than the commission feels is justified, they will be slashed, and rates fixed accordingly.

Wooster Rate Tomorrow
The most interesting session is promised on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock when the Wooster rates will be fixed.
The commission started its cutting by taking a whack at the special road levy which was voted by the people of the county a year ago. This levy was two bills. Last year it produced $138,000, approximately. The commissioners were agreed to accept a lower rate, but contended they should receive as much money as the levy would have produced under the former system before re-appraisal. The budget commission, however, insisted upon a reduction, and fixed the rate at .00105, which, it is estimated, will produce about $110,000. The commission justified its action on the ground that the county will receive at least $30,000 more than was anticipated when the levy was made a year ago because of the gasoline tax.

The County Levy
This reduction in the road tax constitutes practically the whole cut made in the county levy. Details of the levy had not been announced today, it being stated they were subject to change. The total levy, however, was fixed at .0037, against .00449 last year.
Prosecutor Fritz, speaking for the commission, stated today that taxpayers of the county will pay into the county treasury approximately $323,000 in the next year for roads. Of this amount $110,000 will be because of the special levy mentioned above. An additional $105,000 will be used to pay interest and to redeem bonds, and another $100,000 or more will be paid in special assessments by land owners.

Minimum Sums Of Tax Funds To Be Slashed
Budget Commission Indicates Schools and City Must Get Along With Less
Persons charged with the responsibility of expending Wooster tax money, conferring last night with members of the county budget commission, discovered that a voracious and undesirable intruder named Mr. Sinking Fund had stepped in ahead of them and consumed all the pie and cake and much of the remainder of the tax feast.
The commission, they found, was doling out only prison fare rations of bread and water, and not putting any jam except raspberry on the bread either.
Consequently, from all indications today, all departments that share in the tax money will be given considerably less money than they have requested.

Some Drastic Economy
It may mean a shortening on the school year or elimination of some of the newly added high school courses, some drastic economy in the administration of the city government and possible cancelling of a part of the street paving program, and delay in the development of the new city park.

Ask More For Schools
Members of the Board of Education were the first to be heard last night when the meeting began. A score or more of interested spectators, aside from more than that number of city, school and sinking fund officials, were on hand. The board’s budget, submitted by Ray Miller, clerk, was approximately $156,000 for running expenses and $66,000 for sinking fund. In addition to this there was a deficit of $27,000, which, it was suggested, might be funded. The total minimum amount asked was about $224,000 when the figures were rechecked in detail. J.J. Keister, president of the board, stated that the amount was about $41,000 more than was received last year and he and other members of the board declared the deficit was there because the board had not received last year what it asked for in the matter of current expenses. Supt. G.C. Maurer declared that if Wooster wanted the kind of schools that prevailed years ago, such schools could be operated at a lower cost, but that in his opinion, the Board of Education had been very careful to eliminate all waste and that the money sought was nearly all for fixed charges, such as salaries, bonded debt, fuel and supplies.

Cannot Cut Cost
“I know that this board is willing to sit down with any other group of men and receive any suggestions about reducing the cost of conducting our schools,” Mr. Maurer said, “but I do not believe the cost can be cut without seriously impairing the system. It must either come thru a reduction in salaries, which would mean the employment of cheaper teachers; in shortening the school year; or in eliminating a part of the courses that have been introduced.”
There were a few remarks on the part of citizens represented concerning the cost of the high school building, which Supt. Maurer stated was $575,000, including the equipment. A school built to equip the same number of pupils was completed in Cleveland recently at a cost of $1,500,000, Mr. Keister suggested.

Want School Levy
President Keister informed the commission that 65 percent of the voters of Wooster cast their ballots in favor of the special three mill levy for school purposes. He stated that special levies in the past had benefitted not only the board of education, but the city, because all available sources of revenue had been “pooled.” This time, he said, the board of education was asking for all of the money produced by this special levy.
“We expect this commission,” he said, “to give the Board of Education its share of ordinary tax receipts and then to add the full amount that will come from this levy after the levy is reduced from three mills, in proportion to the duplicate increase,” he said. It is estimated that the special levy will produce between $45,000 and $50,000.

$8,500 For Library
James A. Shamp, speaking for the trustees of the library, placed the institution’s needs at $8,500, which includes the maintenance of the public library and the salary of a librarian at the sub-library at the high school.
Mayor M.R. Limb and City Auditor Grace B. Wile submitted the city budget, asking for $47,000 for sinking fund, and $64,000 for running expenses, a total of $111,000. This, it was pointed out, included $12,000 for park purposes.

For City Park
James B. Rahl, Edmund Secrest and A.D. Metz, members of the park commission, stated they required $4,000 for maintenance of the park and the remainder for development and to pay a part of the indebtedness to the Board of Trade. After some dickering, a sum of $?,000 was suggested for park purposes of which all but $1,500 was to be pared from city funds. The $1,500 Mayor Limb said, represented the decrease asked by the city from that which was appropriated last year. The mayor pointed out that the city is not asking for any increased amount.
During the conference it developed that about 40 cents on each $1 paid in taxes in Wooster goes for sinking fund purposes. Members of the Budget Commission were emphatic in their declarations that unless the issuing of bonds for county road paving, for city street paving and for building school houses is stopped, there will be no money left for operating expenses.

Schools and Gasoline
Supt. Maurer pointed out that while amounts seem large, yet it was a fact that the people of Ohio pay no more money to maintain their schools than they do to buy gasoline for their automobiles, and that one hears no complaint about the cost of gasoline.
The commission gave no intimation of its final action. Prosecutor Fritz and Auditor W.E. Heller represented the commission. Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer, having found it impossible to attend. It was the general supposition from the trend of remarks however, that the commission would make further reductions in the budgets that were classed as “absolute minimums” by the city departments represented.
Members of the commission had indicated some days ago that they had no intention of permitting Wooster’s tax rate to exceed two mills.

Wooster’s Tax Rate Is Fixed At .0188
Slash Amounts Going To City And To Schools
Both Can Operate With Strict Economy According to Budget Commission
Wooster’s new tax rate is .0188.
It was officially announced today by the Wayne county budget commission, composed of County Auditor William E. Heller, County Treasurer Florence Limb and County Prosecutor J.O. Fritz.
While the money it will provide represents a slash of upwards of $50,000 in the amount asked by the schools and about $25,000 in the sum asked for operating the city, confidence was expressed by the budget commission today that both city and schools can operate efficiently although strict economy will be necessary.

Listing of Autos Adds to Complications
The listing of automobiles for taxation is one of the things, among others, that is delaying the making out of tax receipts in the office of Treasurer Limb, who has prepared all the tax receipts in blank for property owners of the county, but has not been able to insert the amounts of money due until the complete figures of rates and assessments come from the auditor’s office, which, in turn, must enter the value of automobiles from day to day as cars are listed for taxation.
More than 300 automobiles that were not listed for taxation in former years have been listed this year. This is because owners had to list the cars before they could purchase a 1926 license plate.

One Week For Dog Owners To Get New Tags
Three thousand dog owners of Wayne county have one week in which to purchase dog tags from County Auditor Heller, if the dog owners desire to avoid paying a penalty of one dollar.
On January 26, by a law passed by the last legislature, an additional fee of one dollar must be charged by Auditor Heller for tags sold. The penalty is in addition to the tag purchased for one dog or for the owner of a kennel.
Today, a check in the auditor’s office shows that about 1600 owners of dogs have purchased tags. Last year 4800 dog tags were sold. If there are as many dogs in the county this year as there were last year, a good many dog owners must trot to the court house within the week to secure tags.
This year is the first time a penalty has been attached after a date that has been fixed by law. If there are 3400 tags to be issued in the week, the auditor’s force must handle ??0 a day on average.
Today the auditor’s assistants urged dog owners not to wait until the last day of grace to purchase tags for everybody in the office is working on tax rates so that Treasurer Limb may soon receive taxes.”

Tax-Paying Time Cannot Be Extended By the Commissioners
The county commissioners believe today that the best thing every property owner in the county can do to help each taxing sub-division of the county is to pay taxes as soon as Treasurer Limb begins to receive them.
The commissioners do not know any law by which they may extend the tax paying period. In former years, when paying taxes was begun in December, the commissioners had the right by law to extend the period thirty days. The law makes no provision for such extension when the tax paying period does not begin in December.
By law all taxes are to be paid by Wednesday, Jan. 20, but this year the treasurer will not be able to receive taxes from all districts by that time.
The commissioners feel that the people of the county understand the situation and are ready to pay immediately. Tax receipts have been sent to some of the villages for collection by Treasurer Limb. The Wooster receipts will be ready in a few days.

Taxes Paid Are Over A Million
Distribution to Sub-Divisions Will Begin Next Week by County Auditor.
Owners of property in Wayne county paid to Treasurer Limb in taxes during the paying period just closed the sum of $1,079, 295. 58.
This is the largest sum ever received by the county in a six months period settlement.
The amounts paid in inheritance taxes during the paying period total $6,058. 85 and came from twenty-four estates.
In the office of County Auditor Heller, the checking of the settlement sheets are being made so that distribution of the tax money may be made soon to the county’s taxing sub-divisions. Deputy Auditor Welly said today he hopes to be able to make payments of tax money early next week. Clerks of several sub-divisions have made inquiry this week as to when they will be able to touch the county’s exchequer for a little of the necessary stuff that pays bills. Some of the sub-divisions are getting perilously near the jumping-off place in finances.

Inheritance Tax
Distribution of the inheritance tax payments is being made as follows.
Canaan township, $194.15; Chester, $61.81; Chippewa, $1.73; Congress, $32.78; East Union, $16.55; Green, $47.50; Baughman, 63.81; Sugarcreek, $208.58; Wayne, $6.85; Wooster township, $18.96; Bloomington, $821.43; Dalton, $70.97; Smithville, $7.35; Shreve, $320.99; Wooster, $1,147.74; Lakewood, $8..63.
Funds from the Inheritance tax are placed one-half in the general fund and one-half in the interest and sinking fund if a subdivision maintains the two funds. If no interest and sinking fund is maintained, the money goes into the general fund.
Of the Inheritance tax, the state receives $2,457.07 and the fees of county officials amounted to $572.35.

The state received three fourths of the total fees, the county one eighth and the village or city one eighth. The county’s share is placed in the infirmary farm fund.

More than one half of the merchants selling cigarettes in Wayne county are doing so unlawfully, according to County Treasurer Limb, who today said that the fees to be paid for selling cigarettes were due May 24 and that not one half of the dealers have remitted the fees for licenses.

32 Candidates In Running As Curtain Drops
Etling, Bucher, Glasco and Ackerman Among Last to Enter Contests.
Petitions of twenty-one Democrats and eleven Republicans were on file today with Frank Ault, clerk of the Board of Elections. The time limit for filing declarations expired last midnight, so that today’s list is a complete one of those whose names will appear on the ballots at the August primaries.
Three Democratic candidates who are up the the first time will be nominated without opposition. They are A.H. Etling, for state senator, Walter J. Mougey for prosecutor and Lloyd C. Hoffman for recorder.
Etling, former superintendent of schools at Orrville and now a law partner of Judge L.R. Critchfield, of Wooster, announced himself as a candidate late yesterday and filed his declaration. Judge R.L. Adair, who had served two terms, recently decided he would not again be a candidate.

Other last minute entries were Howard W. Ackerman of Wooster, who filed for the Democratic nomination for clerk; G.E. Bucher, of Wayne township, who filed for the Democratic nomination for commissioner; and Thomas Glasco, Wooster, who asks the Republican nomination for sheriff.

The declaration time closed with the results showing only one contest in the Republican ranks. This is the race for sheriff, the candidates being Glasco and A.E. Luce, of Wooster. Herschel Smith, who had planned to be a candidate, did not file a declaration.
On the Democratic side there are contests for representative, common pleas judge, sheriff, clerk of courts, auditor and commissioner.

Tells of Efforts to Keep Boys and Girls Better on Farms
O.C. Croy of the Ohio State University extension staff, interested members of the Rotary club, today, with an explanation of the work that is being done among the boys and girls of the country.
“We are succeeding admirably in our efforts to help them become better parliamentarians, in giving the boys the best methods known today to raise pigs into marketable hogs, and calves into grown healthy cattle, and girls are being better equipped for their duties as wives. We do not expect all the boys and all the girls in the country to remain on the farms, but we believe if one third of them do, those who do stay will be better equipped for their work in life, and better satisfied with their conditions,” said Mr. Croy.
Flowers at the speakers’ table at the meeting were the gift of Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer.

Tax-Paying Time is Extended to July 20
Wayne county property owners may take until July 10 to pay their taxes, if they so desire, for the county commissioners have officially passed a resolution extending the tax paying period to that date. The action was taken for granted by most tax payers because a very small portion of the million dollars to be paid in the June settlement has been handed to Treasurer Limb. The only time, thus far, that there has been a crowd in the treasurer’s office was this morning and the rush did not last very long.

Last Day To Pay The Year’s Cigaret Tax
County Treasurer Limb today said that this is the last day for dealers in cigarettes to pay their license fee and that a number of Wayne county dealers have not paid.
Very few property owners have paid their semi-annual tax, which must be paid by July 20. Treasurer Limb looks for the usual grand rush the last few days of the paying period.

Two Million In Taxes Paid Here In year
County Treasurer Limb Has Completed Tabulation of the June Payments.
Taxes collected for 1925 by Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer, were $1,079,292.43 last December and $933,107.03 last June. The June collections were not completed until after July 20. Since that time the treasurer’s office has been busy checking payments and making tabulations.

Treasurer Limb has turned the tax books over to County Auditor Heller, who is working on them for the next paying period and for payments to the county’s taxing sub-divisions.

Suggest Three New Policemen To Guard City
Budget Commission Goes Over City’s Finances With Wooster Officials.
The proposed addition of three patrolmen to the Wooster police force was suggested last night when Wooster city officials met with the county budget commission in an effort to have the commission grant larger sums than last year for the conduct of the city’s business.
The city budget as presented asked for funds for one additional patrolman.
“You need three instead of one,” Prosecutor J.O. Fritz declared. “I am in favor of more police officers all over Ohio, and fewer police regulations and no one to enforce them. Extra officers in Wooster would arrest enough law violators so that their salaries would be paid for by the extra fines assessed.”
Service Director Charles Adams said that the city had asked for only one because it was not believed there was a chance to get funds for more than one from the budget commission.
County Auditor W.E. Heller and Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer, the other two members of the commission, did not express their views on this particular matter. Both indicated, however, that the amounts asked in general for the conduct of the city’s business would be reduced before the commission finishes its work.

Funds for Park
Members of the park commission had asked for $12,000, but consented to accept $8,000 if they could have some assurance of $12,000 next year, or any division that would give them $20,000 in two years. The commission is particularly anxious to pay off its debt to the Board of Trade the obligation still being over $8,600. The commission wants to pay at least $2,000 a year on this debt and at the same time carry on its work of improving the park.
In the city service fund the amount received for this year was between $17,000 and $18,000 and about $30,000 was asked for next year. The latter sum is about what the city had received each year for several years prior to this year. One of the principal increases was in the light fund, the amount provided for this fund this year being less than the actual amount needed for lights functioning last January. Council has applications for several new lights which are badly needed.
City officials and the commission discussed the budget in detail, spending nearly two hours in going over the figures. No decision was reached. This evening the commission will go into the matter of school finances with the members of the Board of Education and late Friday afternoon city officials are to be called back for the “verdict” of the commission.
The commission is proposing to keep the tax rate “as low as possible,” without seriously handicapping the operation of city departments.
Yesterday afternoon Orrville city officials held a long conference with the commission regarding the finances of that municipality. Other taxing authorities were before the board today and these conferences will continue for several days.

34 Tax Rates Are Lower, 25 Others Higher
Fredericksburg Rate Highest, Wooster Township Again is Lowest.
Fredericksburg and Wooster townships have a more decided grip on their respective high and low positions in the county tax rate standing than last year according to rates announced today by the county budget commission, composed of Auditor W.E. Heller, Treasurer Florence Limb and Prosecutor J.O. Fritz.
Fredericksburg’s rate is 29.00 against 28.40 last year, and that in Wooster township is 10.60, against 18.80 last year. The highest rate, therefore, is higher, and the lowest rate lower than last year.
In 34 of the county districts, the rate is lower than last year, in eight it is the same, and in 25 it is higher. In five no comparison is available, and one is a new district.
Special levies are to be voted upon in the November election for school purposes which may make a change in nine districts, two at West Salem, four at Burbank and three in Canaan, but the change would be slight.
The county levy remains the same 3.70, but an increase has been made in the road improvement fund which will give a larger sum next year for road improvement work.
The new and former rates in the Wayne county districts follow:

Florence Limb
 Florence C. Limb, the Democratic candidate for re-election to the office of County Treasurer, has been connected with the office for a long time. She has shown her willingness to accommodate all at all times, that she is not only efficient but willing to go to considerable trouble to give the public value received, for the honor conferred in her selection. Efficiency in office as well as in any business is only gained through conscientious labor and thorough application to the task in hand, and the public has a right to demand both from it’s officers whom they elect. Your time is worth money to you as well as to the public, therefore we believe that a vote for the present incumbent in the office of the county treasurer’s office will be to your interest as well as to Miss Limb’s. She is thoroughly capable, conscientious, efficient and willing at all times to accommodate the public whom she serves.

DONAHEY AND WILLIS WIN
DEMS. NAME FIVE, G.O.P. FOUR IN COUNTY
Starn, Wiler, Bartell, Jacot Are Elected
Mrs. Patterson, Miss Limb, Mougey, Swinehart And Reynolds Win.
Governor Vic Donahey carried Wayne County in yesterday’s election by just 606 votes, and Senator Frank B. Willis was the victor here by a majority of over 800 votes, according to complete unofficial returns tabulated today by the Record from reports to the county board of elections.
The winners on the Wayne county ticket were:
For Representative, A.L. Reynolds, Rep.
For Clerk of Courts, Charles ?. Wiler, Rep.
For Sheriff, Albert Jacot, Dem.
For Auditor, John C. Bartell, Dem.
For Commissioner, Parvin Swinehart, Rep.
For Treasurer, Florence Limb, Dem.
For Recorder, Florence Patterson, Rep.
For Coroner, Emanuel Reichenback, Dem.
The decrease in the Donahey vote from two years ago and the ? that Willis carried the ? brought about a ??? tickets on the county ticket ?? it developed early in the count that neither party was going to make a clean sweep. Mougey, Miss Limb, Wiler and Jacot were apparent winners early in the count, but it took practically full returns to show that Bartell had defeated George Lautzenheizer, and to determine that Swinehart was the winner over Walter G. Bupp, the latter’s majority dropping below the hundred mark. The vote case for each candidate in the Wayne county vote was as follows.

Taxes And Dog Tags Are Closely Allied
Taxes and dog tags seem queer companions, but this day in Ohio they are closely connected for owners of dogs generally buy dog tags when they pay their taxes on property. This is being done daily in the court house. The treasurer’s office, where property taxes are paid, and the auditor’s office, where dog tags are purchased, are near to each other and it is easy for the tax payer to step into the auditor’s office to get a tag if he owns a dog.
Many persons are paying their taxes early and each is thanked for doing so by Treasurer Limb, who hopes some of the last minute rush will be thus avoided.

This is a Wet Time at County Treasurer’s Door
This is tax paying time and it is also a wet time for the tax payers who enter the county treasurer’s office because a leaky coping at the top of the building lets water drop in streams in front of the treasurer’s office door.
Today, Treasurer Limb made another complaint to the county commissioners and they started at once to have the coping repaired. The thawing weather of the past few days has sent good sized streams from roof to sidewalk.

Dog Taxes Must be in by Jan. 20th, is Edict.
County Auditor Heller this morning issued a statement to the dog owners of this county which will be to their advantage to heed and act upon if they wish to save money and time.
“All dog taxes must be paid by the 20th of this month,” said Mr. Heller, “or the dog owners will have to pay two dollars instead of one to secure tags for their pets. This means that all dog taxes will be doubled unless paid by the 20th.
“In order that dog owners who are not able to get to the court house in the day time may have an opportunity to pay the tax, we have arranged to keep the office open from 7 to 8 o’clock on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.”
The county auditor agreed with County Treasurer Florence Limb in saying that the dog taxes were slow in being returned and that they feared that many would have to pay the penalty for neglecting to pay up sooner.

The rush is on in the office of County Treasurer Florence Limb.
It was expected by all in the office because about only a half of the taxes had been paid by the end of last week. The books will be closed next Thursday afternoon, January 20, the last day set by the commissioners for taxes to be received.
A penalty is in force on taxes paid after next Thursday and Treasurer Limb has no option in adding the penalty. It is a law and she must abide by the law.

Miss Limb Says Taxes Will Be up to Normal
County Treasurer Florence Limb stated this morning that from indications that developed during the closing hours of tax paying time, the returns show that the taxes paid would reach above the normal receipts.
The last minute rush was very heavy for the treasurer and her assistants and they are all feeling the effects of the strain of taking care of belated taxpayers.
The almost impossible condition of the roads due to the heavy coating of ice led many to send their taxes by mail. A bushel basketful of letters was delivered this morning and it will be some days before the treasurer will be able to compare the work of tabulating the taxes and finding out the list of those who are delinquent.
When this is done the books will be turned over to the county auditor who will list these delinquents and assess the penalty against them required by law.

Checks Sent In Tax Distribution
Orders For More Than a Million Dollars Leave County Auditor’s Office.
Wayne county municipalities, townships and boards of education are now financially able to meet current bills and to make plans for future bills because checks have been sent from the county auditor’s office to sub-division clerks for amounts due from the December tax collection.
The settlement sheet was completed a few days ago and was sent to state officials for approval. It came back without a change and with the statement from the state auditor’s office that Wayne county was the sixth of the 88 counties to make its settlement. The county auditor’s force has been busy with the settlement for several days and did not let any other business sidetrack the work of getting out the settlement sheet.

Total Tax Collections
The total tax collection was $1,077,412.67 as made by Treasurer Limb and certified by County Auditor Heller. To this sum was added a delinquent chattel tax of $7,888.12 and interest from depositaries of $8,581.92 a total of $1,093,882.71.

Small Advances Made
For the first time in several years, small advances were asked for by officials of sub-divisions. A few boards of education drew advances in a total sum of $42,000. This was a trifle compared with the total of $707,478.19, which was distributed by checks today to municipalities, townships and school boards.

The Distribution
Checks were sent to the state for $8,782.52; to the county fund, $364,172; to the townships, $50,180.85; to the municipalities, $178,940.16; to the schools, $137,413.38. The refunders amounted to only $41.81. The auditor and treasurer’s fees totaled $11,225.10 and this amount is turned into the county fund because the two offices are conducted on a salary basis. The cost of public accounting in the townships amounted to $1,121.89 as conducted by state examiners.

County Fund Remains
The county fund remains in the treasury as does the fee funds. The checks sent to sub-divisions are drawn upon the county banks that are depositaries.

The Largest Check
The largest check went to Wooster city for $112,488.02 and it is probably the largest check ever sent from the county auditor’s office. The Wooster city schools received an advance of $20,000 recently and a check today for $87,041.03.

Schools Have Money
For the first time in several years, every school board in the county will have enough money to pay salaries of teacher until the end of the school year.

Tax Paying May Go On As Dodd Bill is Vetoed
June taxes may be paid to Treasurer Limb at any time and no taxpayer need fear a notice for additional taxes because Gov. Donahey has vetoed the Dodd emergency bill providing for a half-mill state direct tax levy and the legislature has given notice that no attempt will be made to pass the measure over the governor’s veto.
The Dodd bill provided for additional state taxes on property and if it had become a law County Auditor Bartell and his assistants would have been put to a big task to revise the tax amounts on the receipts.

City’s Tax Rate is $20 Per $1000
State, County Raises Make Total Higher
Schools Show Decreased Rate And Have Money to Finished Athletic Field.
Wooster’s tax rate has been definitely fixed at two per cent of the city’s property valuation.
This announcement Was made today at the office of County Auditor John C. Bartell, where the auditor, Treasurer Florence Limb and Prosecutor Walter Mougey, members of the budget commission, have threshed out the tax rates for all districts of the county.
Orrville’s rate in Green township will be the same as Wooster’s, two per cent, or $20 on each $1000 of property valuation. The Orrville rate in Baughman township will be $21.40, the difference being attributed to the cost of a new road.
Wooster’s rate is divided as follows:
Last year This year
State levy 2.90 3.50
County levy 3.70 4.00
Township levy 0.40 0.40
School levy 7.20 6.80
Corporation levy 4.50 5.30
The total rate last year was $13.80, while this year it is $20.00. The difference is almost wholly made up in the increase in the state and county levies, the state levy having been made to take care of a deficit, while the county increase was necessary because present road building financing is being placed on a five-year basis instead of a ten-year bases as was the case in the past. This means heavy payments for the first few years.
The Board of Education’s operating expenses were reduced from 3.48 to 3.46, and the whole levy for school purposes was cut four-? of a mill. The levy, however, includes $5,000 which is to be used to complete the high school athletic field in Christmas Run valley, an improvement that has been delayed for several years because of a lack of funds.
An agreement to have this almost included was reached when the budget commission discussed matters with the board of education and through co-operation of other officials who pared their budgets materially, the amount was permitted to stand. The original budgets as drawn would have made the local tax rate about $21.12, but a substantial cut in the city’s operating budget, made by city officials, kept the rate down to the two per cent.

Shreve Woman to Seek Wayne County Office
At least one woman will seek a county office through the medium of the Democratic party next fall, it became known today. Mrs. Ethel Strauss, of Shreve, has announced herself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for clerk of courts.
Miss Florence Limb is now concluding her second term as county treasurer, and Miss Florence Patterson is serving as county recorder. No other women have achieved the distinction of election to county office in Wayne county.

Taxes And Dog Tags Bring People to City
Tax payment days and dog tag days combined with balmy weather for a week are bringing many property owners to Wooster to settle with the county treasurer and auditor.
Treasurer Limb and assistants are busy each day taking in taxes and Auditor Bartell and assistants are kept busy selling 1928 dog tags. The tag sales are nearing the 2,500 mark which is about one-half of the tags that used in Wayne county each year.
The tax paying period and the dog tag sale period end on Jan. 20. Penalties are provided by law for payments after that date.

Lawyer Comments Upon Successes Women Are Attaining in Business, Here And Elsewhere
“The duties of housekeeping and child-raising have deprived the world of a vast amount of latent business ability,” is the remark which Attorney Daniel C. Funk quotes from a woman who he said made the statement to him recently in a half humorous fashion.
“Of course she is right,” appends Attorney Funk.
Funk repeated the remark and made the following personal comments upon the general subject of women in business and professional life as the first of a series of four articles resulting from interviews with local men in business and professions, which are being used in connection with the National Week of the Business and Professional Women’s Club.

Not For All Jobs.
Attorney Funk has a firm faith in the general success of women in public life but he is not quite ready to see them step into every phase of such endeavor.
“I should hesitate,” he said, “to see a demure little woman succeed Albert Jacot as sheriff or Gov. Leiner as chief of police. In other words I do not believe women are fitted for all offices or all kinds of business.”
However, Attorney Funk is loud in his laud of the local political successes of Florence Patterson, Grace Wile, Florence Limb, and the late Alpha Armstrong, all of whom, he said, gave or are giving as efficient administration as their men predecessors in office.
“The study of women in business does not offer the same opportunities as that of men in business. Men have always been in business, whereas women’s advent into the business world has only been recent. Moreover, practically all men are in business, whereas only a small percentage of our women are so engaged.

Are Successful
“Have women been successful in business?” In answer to your question, I would say that they have been. In your issue of April 14th, you featured Dr. Susan M. Dorsey, the highest paid school superintendent in the United States. The most written about and quoted person in the building and loan business in America is Miss Ann E. Rae, former president of the United States League and now president of a Niagara Falls company which compares favorably in size to the Wayne Building & Loan Company. Each week there comes to my desk new decisions written or participated in by Florence E. Allen, Judge of the Ohio supreme court. Though getting a late start, women have gone to the top of their chosen lines.
“There are such local business successes as Mrs. George Hester of The Toy Kraft Co., Miss Emma Shibley of The Wooster Brush Works, and Miss Harriett Shields of the Wooster Business Men’s Association. These and many others who might be named prove that women can succeed in Wooster.

A Woman Lawyer
“Is there an opportunity here for a woman lawyer? That would depend a great deal on the woman. Father and I wanted my sister, Marjorie, to study law, but she preferred the insurance business in which she has been successful. I do not like to see a woman lawyer in court as I think it detracts from her femininity but I believe that probate work and conveyancing could well be done by a woman attorney.
“My own experience with women in business has been that generally they do not have the executive ability of men, but that they pay closer attention to details and, hence, are generally more accurate than men. A woman client will follow your instructions to the letter. A man may and again he may not. Moreover, I believe women are a bit more careful about paying their bills than men. I have seldom, if ever, lost an account contracted by a woman. I can not say the same of all my masculine clients.
“While Wooster women have been successful in business, I think we can expect still greater things from them in the future. Why? Because they are interested in advancing themselves in their work. The Business and Professional Women’s organization proves this. I think they are doing a good work and are entitled to every possible encouragement.”

Women in Business Has Better Health, But Home is Her Real Place, Says Dr. A.C. Smith
“Woman’s place is at the head of the home. She is out of her natural environment in the business world.” These statements were made by Dr. Alonzo C. Smith, local physician, when he was interviewed upon the general subject of women in the business and professional world with particular reference to the health of business women as contrasted with the health of the housewife and mother.
Dr. Smith’s comments are being published as a part of the general program which the Business and Professional Woman’s Clubs of the country are being given in their National Week. Dr. Smith has some very interesting remarks to make upon both sides of the “women in business” subject, and he very broad mindedly defends both the business woman, within certain limitations, and the housewife and at the same time offers adverse criticism for both classes.

Has Better Health
Speaking of the health of the business woman, Dr. Smith said, “the health of the business woman is better that that of the housewife as a general thing. The reason for this is that in the case of the business woman there is an absence of extreme fatigue, and there are more regular working hours. From the neurological standpoint this is especially true.
“Woman’s contacts in the business world are more stimulating and conducive to intellectual satisfaction — she accomplishes ???.
“The housewife ?? opportunity in the ??? pression in ??? management of the budget and rearing of the children. She ?? this great opportunity ?? by delegating to ??? ability which shores ??? rightful pleasure and distastes.

Into New Slavery
“In seeking ?? and social pleasures she ??? of life that makes her more of a slave than the drudgery of office life. In escaping from the ?? of home she is freed ??? of “Lady Nicotine” and ?? Barley corn.” Whether or not a new environment will ?? ailments remains to be seen. The chances are in favor of her developing new complexes to ?? the old.
“Woman’s insanity ?? was due to loneliness. Her ?? in the future will be from excessive activity.” Here Dr. Smith ?? the former situation of the country woman, who all day long had no one with whom to talk ?? the modern rural housewife ?? work is accompanied by radio ?? and interspersed with chats over the telephone with her neighbors.
“Do you believe that the preliminary period of life in the business world benefits womankind for their later service as wives and mothers?” the doctor was asked.
“Yes,” he responded. “Business work makes wives more efficient. A temporary sojourn in the business world makes woman more efficient a wife, providing she sticks to her ideals and refuses to see her ideals clothed in drudgery.” Dr. Smith bemoaned the fact that so many women fail to see home life as their expression as women of the race, but instead look upon it as full of drudgery.
“Woman,” said Dr. Smith, “is the product of her heredity, environment, work and food. Her heredity she cannot change. Her environment is made by society and business contacts. And she always has the privilege of choosing her food.”

Business is Substitution
Dr. Smith is firm in his conviction that woman’s real purpose is to head a home. “Business life for women,” he said, “is only a weak substitution for the ideal life. The unmarried women, the divorced, and the widows find a great opportunity for their self expression, but this is only a substitute, as I said before.”
The physician spoke of the great number of older women who are unmarried and said that their state resulted either from the fact that they were hard to please and satisfy or that they were not pleasing or satisfactory.

Training Helpful
Throughout the interview Dr. Smith expressed a belief in the value of the training that women ? in business. He said that if a wife had had just as much prerequisite knowledge of the home as she had of business, she would be just as efficient in her natural sphere as she became in the business world.
Asked whether he believed that there were types of work in which women could not be replaced by men, Dr. Smith said, “yes, only women can serve as stenographers, and women make the best teachers.”
To the latter part of the above remark, Dr. Smith added ??? widows and unmarried women should be occupying positions in the school from an economic stand point.
He emphasized the economic qualification of his remark, however, adding that in other respects there might be exceptions.

A Divorce Incentive
An interesting part of the interview with Dr. Smith was that in which he blamed a large number of divorces upon the ease with which married women can secure lucrative positions. He said that the housewife, whose duties do not occupy her time, dwells upon her troubles, tells her husband about them and informs him that she could be back in her old office job earning more than he and so alleviating her woes. “Then,” said Dr. Smith, “the husband is apt to tell her to do it, and a divorce results. If it were not so easy for her to go back to her position, this would not happen.
“I believe that with the present con?rate question of unemployment, it would appear expeditious to employ female help selectively, namely: give the widow and the unmarried woman preference over the divorced or separated.”

Activities of Women in Politics Receive Comment in an Interview With Dr. Wishart
Dr. Charles F. Wishart, president of Wooster college, has some very interesting views upon women in public life, which he expresses in response to inquiries made of him concerning the general subject of women in business and professions.
As a minister in the Presbyterian church and an educational executive, Dr. Wishart has himself been in the public eye during much of his career and he has always been keenly alert to the problems and progress of not only his own immediate field, but also of the great circle of humanity everywhere. With this interest in affairs in general, Dr. Wishart’s attention has been brought to the growing field for women workers in business and public life. In the remarks which he makes upon the subject, Dr. Wishart manifests an extreme interest in women in political life and commends them for the worthy representatives whom they have had in posts of importance.
Dr. Wishart’s remarks follow.
“I don’t feel competent to speak about women in the business world. In fact, I don’t feel competent to express opinions on the subject at all, for it presents so many puzzling and unexpected phases that I have long since abandoned the notion that a mere man could cope with it.
“I have, however, been greatly interested from the first in the emergence of women into public life. I might modestly claim to be one of the very early advocates of ‘Votes for Women,’ indeed, for a long time, as a ‘voice crying in the wilderness.’ This was not so much because of women’s ‘natural rights’ to a vote, as because I felt — and still feel — that our public life needs the type of mind which is accustomed to think not so much in terms of property as in terms of life values, of home values, and is accustomed, also, to detailed thoroughness which the male mind does not possess and which, in my judgement, is desperately needed, especially in municipal politics.
“My friend, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the great English preacher, told me of a boys’ school in Birmingham, England, where 400 lads hold a solemn debating society every Friday afternoon. During the suffragette riots in London, when property was being smashed and lives endangered by the militant advocates of ‘Votes for Women,’ the boys held a lengthy debate which resulted in the unanimous adoption of the following resolutions: ‘This house resolves that while we unanimously favor the methods of the suffragettes we consider their cause rotten.’
“Personally, I have been just in the opposite position — I haven’t always favored the methods by which votes for women were sought, but have felt from the first that the cause was splendid. As a matter of fact, women do, in indirect ways, exert more power in Washington than most people dream of. The bright eyes of a fair lady have been a stronger argument to many a dignified senator than all the logic and all the laws. But it is a healthy sign that women interested in public life are no longer relying upon the traditional weapons but are frankly taking their place as leaders and advocates who are ready to meet men by appealing to reason, by organization, and by genuine capacity for public service.
“The emergence, for instance, of Mrs. McCormick as triumphant candidate for congresswoman at large in Illinois is to me a most cheering sign of the times in my old state, along with the smashing of Len Small and the humiliation of Thompson. The victory of a clear headed and practical woman who went out to meet her male opponent and beat him at his own game is a sign of the new day. Women like Carrie Chapman Catt, Jane Adams, and our able and noted alumna, Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the National W.C.T.U. are significant leaders with nationwide prestige. I do not know of any three men in public life today who exert the power and good exercised by these three women.

“My own attitude toward both the 18th and 19th amendments was profoundly influenced by that able, beautiful and queenly American woman, Frances E. Willard. She seemed sometimes almost unearthly in the spiritual radiance which emanated from her like a flame when on the platform she pled for the American home. Hers is the only woman’s statue that stands in Memorial Hall at Washington. As one looks around the circle of representatives in marble which various states have placed in that hall — some of them pretty obscure and rather dubious gentlemen whom nobody knows anything about — I am inclined to think that for brains, character, and public service, Miss Willard could take her place with any man in the lot. I once heard her say in the good old times when the most ignorant man could vote and the most intelligent woman could not, that if she asked her coachman, ‘John, will you exercise the suffrage today’ he would probably reply, ‘Please, Miss Willard, which horse is that.’ The day has gone by when the ignorant male can go to the ballot box and the highly educated woman cannot express herself in terms of civic life.
“Thus far progress has been made. But not enough women have yet assumed positions of public leadership. When they do, such questions as prohibition and war will be handled with a firmer hand and a loftier idealism. I may live long enough to see somebody like Judge Florence Allen in the White House. Who knows?”

Women More Efficient in Detail Work, And Married Ones Most Competent, Says Banker
“Women are more efficient and satisfactory than men in positions that require detailed work,” said William Harris, cashier at the Citizen’s National bank, when he was asked for his opinion concerning women in the business world.
“Occasionally a man will come to a bank window and object to having a woman wait upon him, but that does not happen often; in most cases men patrons will commend the care and attention which women give to their work.
“Because of their ability in handling details accurately, we have found women very satisfactory in bank work.”
When the banker was asked whether he believed that women could serve as well as men as bank executives, he responded, “there are cases where women are very successful as heads of banking concerns, but usually they are not so much so as men. Men seem to understand the ‘why’ and ‘wherefore’ of things more than women, but this is not always the case.”
Mr. Harris expressed a belief that married women are often more satisfactory in business positions than young unmarried women, because the latter are so often only transient workers, who are using their positions as stepping stones expecting to leave and be married within a short period of time.
“The married woman,” said Mr. Harris, “generally has some purpose in entering a business position. She is aiding in the purchase of a home, or has some similar motive.
“Where a man is earning a large salary, he does not want his wife to work, but married women are efficient.
“We hear the argument that when married women are engaged in earning positions, they are replacing men who need to work to support families. However, it is usually the case that women are doing work that men would not care to do.
“Unless she has too many responsibilities at home, the married woman is more inclined to have her mind closely concentrated upon her work than the unmarried woman. The young girl considers the work as only temporary and to be left behind when she marries.”
Mr. Harris commented upon women in professions by expressing a belief that they are highly valuable as physicians and teachers, but not so able as lawyers.
“There is no reason,” said Mr. Harris, “why women should not hold very important places in medicine. There is not so much of a place for them in law, however. Of course, women have always been excellent teachers.”

What’s the Next Step for Women Suffragists — If Any?
Fair Voters Facing Biggest Problems
Winifred Black Has Serious Doubts About Ability of Women to Organize as a Separate Political Unit.
By Winifred Black
What has Woman Suffrage done for women?
“Not a thing in the world,” says Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt surely ought to know.
She says that men freeze out women when it comes to business or when it comes to politics and the remedy for that is, in her opinion — organization.
Women’s parties within political parties . . . women bosses, women henchwomen, women heelers, women orators, women voters, women spellbinders, dear — dear, how exciting!
But who’s going to organize these women, I ask you, and who is going to keep them organized?
All women are not alike — just because they’re women. women women believe in prohibition. Some women do not believe in prohibition. Some women play bridge. Some women can’t even play euchre, and as for pinochle — tut, tut! They can’t even count the cards.
Some women can cook and some can hardly worm up the delicatessen meat balls and spaghetti without burning them. Some can dress like fashion models on nothing a year, and some look like forgotten furies on a good deal more than nothing a year.
Some are serious and some are frivolous. Some are dowdies and some are vamps.
But worst of al, the average woman does not like other women — not until she knows them well. She has a natural distrust and jealousy — born of centuries of competition and that natural distrust will not down — not for a few generations, anyhow.
When you sat on a rock and waited for the caveman to come home with a nice pot roast of dinosaurus — you had to watch very carefully to see that he didn’t stop at some other caveman’s cave and absent-mindedly give the other caveman’s cave woman the pot roast that you and your children needed, oh, so badly!
It was all you could do to keep your caveman and you didn’t want any other women folks mussing up the scenery and attracting his attention, because, of course, the caveman was just a dear, sweet, good-natured, easily led boy, after all — just like his descendants. You had to lead him — and pretend you were following him, and this constant pretense and dissimulation certainly does not tend to keep the mind and the processes of the mind clear and straight-tracked.
I wonder if the modern woman is really civilized to the point where she can organize and stay organized? Is it really a good thing for women to band themselves together against men? Won’t that make men all the more antagonistic? And what’s it all about, anyway? No woman is a natural woman who has not some sort of a man somewhere around the house, either a husband, a sweetheart a father, a brother or a son. Why band themselves against “men folks?” Won’t it make “men folks” a little restive — and goodness knows, who wants a restive man in the family? I’d just as soon invite a hornet to a birthday party, wouldn’t you?
Why shouldn’t men and women work together — they have to live together and laugh together and cry together — what’s the use of trying to turn them into enemies, even for the sake of politics? I don’t believe you can do it, anyhow — I really don’t.

Tax Payments Are Slow Says County Treasurer
This is the semi-annual tax paying period, but very few property owners are settling with County Treasurer Limb these days. The tax books have been completed for several weeks and property owners in all parts of the county may be promptly accommodated in the treasurer’s office if they are ready to settle with the county. According to law the paying closes on June 20.

Tax-Paying Time is Limited to Fifteen Days
“In one third of the property owners of Wayne county paid their June taxes between January 1 and July 1, how long will it take the remaining two thirds to pay their taxes,” was a question asked in the office of County Treasurer Limb today.
There was no answer to the question because Treasurer Limb spoke promptly and with deep meaning, saying
“Taxes must be paid by July 20 and that means within the next three weeks with holidays and Sundays out.”
Treasurer Limb is accepting taxes because the commissioners by resolution extended the paying time to July 20.

Tax Payments Slow as Farmers Work in Fields
Tax payments are coming slowly in view of the large amount of money remaining to be paid by July 20, according to Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer. About one third of the total amount has been paid. The June payments are generally slow in reaching the treasurer’s office and this year is no exception to the rule because Wayne county’s farmers are in the midst of the busiest period of the year.

Tax Payments Equal Those of Other Periods
A checking of the tax books by Miss Florence Limb, county treasurer, today indicates that the total payment of taxes during the June period will equal June payments of other years. A total will not be tabulated for several days because payments are being received daily by mail and these will be entered as having been paid before the closing period. Other payments are expected to reach the office by mail within the next few days. In about a week the books will be taken to the county auditor’s office.

Hot Contests Being Waged By Candidates
Seekers After County Office Will Know Their Fate in Two More Weeks.
Two weeks from today Wayne county voters will trek to the polls and cast their ballots for state and county candidates at primary elections for both Republican and Democratic parties.
Party leaders here are pretty generally agreed that Congressman Martin L. Davey, of Kent, will get the bulk of the support of local Democrats in his contest for governor. There appears to be much sentiment for Davey among Democratic voters, and his lieutenants are satisfied that he’ll poll a big majority here.
On the Republican side, there will apparently be no walkaways for any of the candidates for governor. It was predicted today that if the votes were to be cast and counted right now, Myers Y. Cooper, of Cincinnati, and James T. Begg, of Sandusky, would be found at the top of the heap each with a fifty fifty chance for victory.Whether the intervening two weeks will make any change remains to be seen. Mr. Cooper, it is announced, will be a visitor at the Wayne county fair on Thursday of next week.
The situation in contests for the U.S. senatorship and supreme court judgeship remains rather obscure according to leaders, and the same is true in the contests for places on the state tickets. There are numerous candidates but none, apparently, is assured of a big sweep in Wayne county, where nearly every candidate has some friends or supporters actively working in his behalf.

County Battles Hot.
Chief interest in the primary, however, is being shown in the contests for nomination for county office.
In the Republican primary there are just two contests, that for sheriff, but a triangular contest of much interest, and that for probate judge. The candidates for sheriff are Clark B. Shearer, Wooster city patrolman, E.E. Mills, marshal at Rittman, and Thomas Glasco, of Wooster. Glasco was a candidate for the nomination two years ago against A.E. Luce, and has the advantage of the acquaintance gained in that campaign. To offset this, however, Mills and Shearer’s friends are pointing to their experience in law enforcement work as of much value to them in preparing them for the duties of the office.

For Probate Judge.
The candidates for probate judge are William H. Black, former mayor of Wooster, and OlD. Kauffman, Wooster attorney and former city solicitor. Mr. Black’s friends are pointing out that he had experience in Illinois in work similar to that required of a probate judge, and also that he showed proper qualifications as mayor of Wooster to fit him for a county office. Mr. Kauffman has been practicing law for a number of years and has a large acquaintance among the voters of Wooster and Wayne county who are quite confident he is fully able to administer the affairs of the office to the satisfaction of all.
On the Democratic side there are several contests of more than usual interest, and persons who are observing the campaign declare that not for a number of years have candidates been making so thorough campaign as this year.

For Commissioner.
In the contest for county commissioner John C. Steiner, Greene Township, William S. Swanger, East Union township, and J.T. Blue, Congress township, are in the race and, according to reports from various sections, it is very much of a race. Swanger and Bupp were the party nominees before, Swanger four years ago and Bupp two years ago, and believe they are entitled to another chance at the office. Mr. Bupp was defeated at the election by just 18 votes. Mr. Swanger has long been active in the affairs of his community, as has Mr. Bupp, and the latter is stressing the point that it has been a great many years since Congress township has had a representative in the commissioner’s office. It is a good fight the outcome of which will be watched with interest.

Clerk of Courts.
The Democratic candidate for clerk of courts are also conducting a vigorous campaign. There, as is the case in the commissioner’s race, one candidate, D.A. MCollough, of Orrville, was the nominee two years ago, and believes he is entitled to another chance at the office when conditions are more in his favor. His opponents are Mrs. Ethel Strauss, of Shreve, who has been making a vigorous campaign and whose friends point out that a woman previously conducted this office in a satisfactory manner, and that the ticket should be represented by a woman to appeal to the feminine voters of the county. Glen B. Harmon, of Overton, and Glenn K. Esselburn, of Wooster, both of whom have a great many friends and supporters who are working tirelessly to convince the voters that their nomination will give strength to the ticket and insure a greater measure of Democratic success.

Three Seek Treasurership
The race for county treasurer is another one that is getting warmer despite a recent drop in the temperature. W.R. Lightner, J.M. Ginter and Harry L. Mann, all of Wooster, are fighting it out. Mr. Mann and Mr. Lightner were in the race when Florence Limb was nominated, and each is now asking for the nomination they failed to get on that occasion. The newcomer in the field is Mr. Ginter. All three have been working steadily and are counting on victory.
The other places on the two tickets will be filled without a contest.

Collection Of Taxes Brings In 2 Millions
The June tax collection, which was ended on July 20th produced total revenue in Wayne county of $994,093.13, Treasurer Florence C. Limb announced today. Last December a collection was $1,121,192.48 making a total for the year of $2,115,285.61. This is the largest tax collection ever made in Wayne county in any one year.
“The taxes are just about all paid, too,” Miss Limb said today, the records having been thoroughly checked.
Miss Limb and her assistants, G.C. Fritz, Ada Bell, Laura Limb and Emma Schott, have reason to feel quite chesty over their work in making the collections. Upwards of half a million dollars was handled in the last ten days of the period, and when the books were checked with the records of the auditor, they came out, practically to the penny.
In making the collection, the treasurer and her assistants issued approximately 50,000 receipts, making that many different transactions which were necessary to complete the work.

County Vote Battle Has Hot Finish
Candidates Put Decision Up To Voters
Half a Dozen Contests Have Brought Lively Competition as Primary Nears.
The curtain had virtually dropped, today, in the interesting primary battle in Wayne county, in which half a dozen contests have grown warmer as the finish neared, so that the grand climax has been a rather hectic battle.
The hottest race of the lot, according to local political wiseacres, is that for the Democratic nomination for Clerk of Courts, in which even the most astute refuse to pick a winner. The candidates are D.A. McCullough, of Orrville, who was the nominee two years ago, Glenn Esselburn, of Wooster, a world war veteran, Glenn D. Harmon, of Overton, and Mrs. Ethel Strauss, of Shreve, the only woman seeking a local nomination. The two Glenns in the race have more in common than their first names, too, a reporter was informed today. Each is a father of twins.

Three for Treasurer
Another interesting contest is that for County Treasurer, where the contestants are J.M. Ginter, Harvey L. Mann and W.R. Lightner, all of Wooster. Both Mr. Mann and Mr. Lightner were candidates four years ago when Miss Florence Limb was nominated.
William G. Heesh, Orrville newspaper publisher, is pitted against C.D. McVicker, of West Salem, in the race for representative.
For commissioner, where two are to be nominated, William Swanger, Walter G. Bupp, ???? John Steiner are the candidates. Swanger and Bupp were nominees in various contests.

Seek Sheriff Nomination
On the Republican ticket the hot race is that for sheriff, with Thomas Glasco and Clark B. ?? , Wooster, and E.E. M?, Rittman, as the candidates, ? and Mills have been stressing their experience in law enforcement while Glasco was an aspirant for the nomination two years ago.
Former Mayor W.H. Black, of Wooster, and O.D. Kauffman, former Wooster Solicitor, are battling for the Republican nomination for probate judge.
Qualifications of most of the candidates have been set forth in newspaper advertisements, most of which have been printed in the Record and other newspapers during the last few days, including today.
All of the candidates made good use of the opportunity of attending the county fair, where they met hundreds of voters. Most of them have made pretty thorough campaigns out through the country and are looking for a fairly large primary vote next Tuesday.

City Tax Rate To Stay Same As This Year
City General Fund Faces Shortage as County And School Budgets Increase.
Wooster city’s tax rate will remain practically where it is now for another year.
This announcement was made at the office of County Auditor John Bartell last night following a conference between Wooster city officials and the county budget commission, composed of the auditor, County Treasurer Florence Limb and County Prosecutor Walter J. Mougey.
The present tax rate is two per cent or 20 mills on the dollar, the rate in the part of the city lying in Wayne Wayne township to be 21 mills higher.
The county levy has been increased from 4 mills to 4.6 mills, members of the budget commission told local officials.
The school rate has been tentatively fixed at 7 mills, against 6.8 mills allowed the schools last year. This would permit a levy for city purposed of 5.7 mills, the same as last year, despite the fact that extra cost of the white way, an added member of the police force and other additions and expansions require more money.
City Auditor Grace Wile estimated that the shortage would be about $9,000, but members of the budget commission believed there might be balances in some city funds to make up part of this difference.
Mayor Geiselman asked if the schools could not help absorb a part of this shortage, instead of asking that all of it be taken from the city’s general running expenses.
It developed at the meeting that $125,000, approximately, must be paid out to retire interest and pay interest on bonds before any city tax spending organization gets any revenue to meet expenses. Of this sum $71,000 is for school bonds and $54,000 for general city bonds. It was proposed to add $5000 to the city bond fund to aid in building up a surplus for 1932 when a very large amount of bonds become due.
The tax rate in Wooster is just about as high as it can go under present conditions. Bloomington, although annexed to Wooster, remains within the boundaries of Wayne township where the township levy is 2.6 mills, against a Wooster township levy of 6 mills. Thus Wooster’s maximum rate is governed by the rate that prevails in the Bloomington area, which will be 21 mills higher than in the remainder of the city of Wooster. The Wayne township rate is higher because of road improvements there, and it was pointed out at last night’s conference that the county commissioners could materially aid the general situation in Wooster by postponing any further Wayne township road improvements until after 1932.
Members of the city board of education are to confer with the budget commission on Friday, and the city rate will not be definitely fixed until after this time.
Members of the commission studied the Wooster budget carefully last night and found that it had been pared down to the core, and that any cut in the budget will be difficult to meet.

County Needs a Million, Treasurer Taking Taxes
Wayne county needs a million dollars during the next six months and property owners must furnish the funds during the coming few weeks. Payments may be made any time to the county treasurer, Miss Florence Limb, who today opened the tax books for receipts of payments. The making out of a few rates was delayed by the proposed bond issues, in some taxing districts. These rates have been adjusted and taxes may be paid on property located in any part of the county.

$1,149,439.20 Paid In Taxes For Half Year
County Treasurer Florence M. Limb announced today that the total amount of money collected in taxes during the December collection was $1,149,439.20, the largest amount ever taken in for any six-months period. This collection represents the first half of the 1928 taxes. It is larger than the next June collection will be because of a majority of the special assessments, such as road, ditch and street improvement charges, are payable in the first half of the year’s taxes.
Last December’s collection amounted to $1,093,882.71, while the first half of the 1926 taxes was $1,079,295.98.
The treasurer and her assistants feel quite elated because their books balanced to a penny with those of County Auditor John Bartell, showing that everything was accurately done, despite the fact that a great majority of the money was taken in during the last three weeks of the period, which ended January 20th. Since that time all of the payments have been checked over carefully with the books of the auditor.

Tax Paying Time Here But Rush is Absent
This is tax paying time and County Treasurer Limb has the books ready to accommodate any Wayne county property owner, but there is no rush in the office. By law tax paying time ends on June 20. The taxes that are now being paid are for the last half of 1928. Wayne county continues the old custom of having property owners call at the treasurer’s office. In Medina county tax statements are mailed to property owners and much of the tax money comes to the office by mail.

Taxes may be paid until July 20 because the commissioners extended the paying period to that day by resolution.

Cigarette Dealers in Wayne County Increase
The annual report of County Auditor Bartell to the state auditor with reference to the collection and distribution of the cigarette tax shows there are 131 dealers selling cigarettes in Wayne county.
The total collection was $6,504.45. Of this amount the state receives $4,878.34, the villages and cities of the county, $662.53 and the county $963.58, which goes into the county’s general fund as maintained by Treasurer Limb. The tax settlement is made for the year ending July 1, 1929.
The distribution shows that Wooster receives $248.62, Orrville $97.65, Rittman $94.04 and the other municipalities smaller sums. The selling of cigarettes at road stands along the highways has increased the number of dealers in recent years. The townships of Baughman and Clinton are the only ones not showing the sales of cigarettes in the townships outside the towns. Chester shows on the report as having a dealer in the township although the sale of cigarettes is only a summer diversion.

Dan S. Yoder Begins Work As Treasurer
Installs New System of Bookkeeping And Has New Office Force.
Dan S. Yoder of Orrville, Republican, elected county treasurer last November, assumed the duties of his office this morning, succeeding Miss Florence Limb, Democrat, who completed her second two-year term, and who retired from the office after about 25 years of service as a deputy and as treasurer.
Miss Limb and her chief deputy, G.C. Fritz, who was in the office for sixteen years, both plan to take an extended vacation and have made no immediate plans for the future.
George Fisher of Wooster is the new chief deputy in the treasurer’s office. Miss Wanda Steiner and Miss Ada Bell are the other deputies, Mr. Yoder having an understanding with them that one will be employed only during the busy tax collection periods. Mr. Yoder’s daughter, Marcie, will also assist in the office during the busiest periods.
A new system of bookkeeping is being installed by the new treasurer. He has spent considerable time studying methods used in several counties, and selected the Seneca county system for use here. This is highly favored by state examiners and Mr. Yoder believes it will amplify the matter of record keeping in the office. The Derr Printing Co. was low bidder and got the job of printing the receipts, which are now ready for delivery. They will be made out in triplicate on a typewriter, the original to be the December receipt, the duplicate the June receipt, and the triplicate the office record.
Transfer of the office was effected this morning in a most systematic manner, not one cent of currency remaining in the treasurer’s office, Miss Limb having it all in local banks.
The first money paid to the new treasurer was $5 which was a part of a fine imposed in one of the county courts.

Dora Stevens District Head
Ohio Rebekah Assembly Closes Interesting District Meeting in Wooster.
The 26th district of the Ohio Rebekah Assembly closed a very interesting meeting in the city on Tuesday evening. The state president, Otilla Kuncle, conferred the Assembly Degree on six Past Noble Grands. The school of instruction which was held during the afternoon was most helpful to all the demonstrations given by the Orrville lodge were very ably done.
Most of the sisters were well prepared to answer the questions given them and everyone was benefitted by the school.

The district is indebted to Slater Ethal Wepler for her services aa pianist and a vote of thanks is extended to her.
The special offering to the I.O.O.F. home at Springfield amounted to $37.88 several of the lodges in the district each gave $5 to this amount. This fund will go this year to the president’s special work for the home which is the placing of an electric refrigeration point.
Dora M. Stevens in her very pleasing manner, presented the state president State Security Annaa Henderson and District Representative Delpha Lock, a small token of esteem for their service to the district.
As we look forward in the new year we, the Rebekahs of the 26th district are asked to renew our obligations to live according to the teachings of our order so that we can truly be said that

Findings Not Sufficient To Pay Examiner
Examination of Records of Wayne Co. Officers Show Minor Discrepancies.
The examination of the records of Wayne county officers covering the term from May, 1927 to June 1, 1930, by examiners Walter Garrison and Otto Carpenter did not produce sufficient discrepancies to pay the examiners, according to a summary of findings which appears in the front of the rather comprehensive volume detailing the examination.
These findings, 61 in number, show that the amount due others from the county is $386.95, while the amount due the county totals $1,333.44, the amount in favor of the county being 951.49.
Nineteen of the findings are listed under the head of duplicate payments, and the sums are small. Twenty-four are for sheep claims which are said to be illegally drawn. The others are for small sums found in the maze of a vast business of conducting the affairs of the county. In the “amounts due others” is the sum of $365.09 alleged to be due the townships in division of the cigarette tax.

Auditor’s Office
The work of the auditor’s office is gone into in great detail. The examination states $365 is due 15 townships of the county from the cigarette tax the largest amounts being $77.29 due Plain township and $45.51 due Wooster township. He states the fish and game commission should reimburse the county for $37.30 paid out for magistrate and constable fees in the case against Harry Gruber who was acquitted.

Board of Commissioners
The expenditures for deputy and clerk hire in the various offices for 1929 as allowed by the commissioners were as follows: Auditor $7,435.34; treasurer, $6,489.99; recorder, $3,044.63; clerk of courts, $5,100; sheriff, $5,173.47; probate judge, $5,640; surveyor, $18,062.94.
The examiner criticises the commissioners for “ignoring” the statute that the auditor’s certificate must be obtained before entering into an agreement or contract, even though the commissioners know the appropriations have not been exhausted.
Stating that the commissioners are the purchasing power of the county he says “This does not mean that the power can be delegated to a clerk.”
The examiner says if the board approves requisitions from various offices, “orders should be issued the auditor’s certificate obtained and the purchase made.” He does not however detail any mistakes, merely criticising the methods pursued as not following the law.
The examiner goes into this matter at considerable length, and cites a number of duplications of checks which, he concludes, in several cases were applied to other purchases as not following the law.

Says Sheep Claims Illegal
Citing the section which states in all claims by any owner of sheep or other domestic animals killed or injured by dogs, owners must notify a commissioner in person or by registered mail within 48 hours, and present detailed statements in the township trustees with duplicates to the commissioners in 60 days, he says much money has been illegally paid, and that $754.70 is due the county as follows:
W.A. Ramsey $106.50
C.A. Galehouse $47.55
Robert Culbertson $32.63
D.T. Steiner $27.15
Leonard Yates $19.15
Richard Harrison $37.80
W.F. Johnson $15
L.E. Cady $35
G.H. Saunders $16.20
Eli Miller $16.60
Jacob D. Rushberger $31.40
Wm. Tschantz $21.20
Joseph Lytle $13.40
D.W. Becker $36
C.B. Tuttle $16.10
E.H. Miller $68.25
Levi D. Miller $18.20
Frank Sell $73.70
Jonas Miller $34
H.C. Franks $14
Harry M. Hochstetler $20
H.A. Landis $13.85
Mason Cockrell $16

A small amount of these sums is due for witness fees.
Inquiry by the Record today disclosed that in all of the cases noted above, sheep were killed and proper proof made, the technical point being that the men who lost sheep did not report their loss within the time set by law.

Examination of Treasury
The examination of the treasury by Mr. Garrison and Mr. Carpenter showed that on last May 31, the total assets were $456,145.11 and the total liabilities $456,649.11 making a treasury deficit of $406, concerning which Mr. Garrison says:
“Of this deficit $365 was represented by the treasurer’s personal check which we refused to accept as legal credit. However Mr. Yoder took this check to the bank and returned with $365. The other 41 of the deficit represents, according to the treasurer, shortages on collections and money expanded for posi?”
Treasurer Yoder, asked by the Record for his interpretation of the two matters referred to by the examiner, said the stamp purchase was made from office funds because the stamps were needed immediately. The supply had depreciated faster than had been anticipated and it requires two weeks to make a requisition through the commissioners.
“We made the requisition,” he said, “bought the stamps with funds in the office, and readjusted the funds just as soon as money was available from the requisition. The examination was made in the interim.”
The check Mr. Yoder said would have been honored had anyone cashed it but himself the examiner holding he could not cash his own check from funds in his office. To meet the examiner’s technical point Mr. Yoder took the check to the bank, cashed it, and tendered the money which the check represented.
The examination disclosed that over $450,000 was on deposit at the three Wooster banks, about $150,000 in each bank, and that 2? per cent interest was paid promptly the first of each month.
The work of Miss Limb as treasurer and the work and accuracy in the collection of taxes by Mr. Yoder and Miss Limb was complimented.

Dog Warden
The report goes into considerable length and much fine print in regard to the dog warden who seems to be drawing $150 a month, and says “We would recommend that the warden pursue the statutes relating to his office and duties he is to perform we will venture to say that if all the duties required of him were performed he would be very ‘busy man’.”
The examiner states 59 claims paid by the commissioners for sheep killed by dogs have no record of being viewed by the dog warden, and that in the other cases scarcely any instances of the number shown in the claim and the number reported killed by the dog warden agree, and asks “Why?”
The examiner states $46 was found against C.J. Boss and that Boss “never consulted us but paid $16.25 to the county treasury” but found nothing against L.W. Herman in that office.

Goes Over Old Story
The examiner goes over the old story of the warrants that were held up by the county auditor for road improvements some time back and calls attention to the matter of the Wooster – Mechanicsburg road wherein the Holmes Construction Co. though allowed the contract for $42,539.85 for gravel the company was actually paid $47,742.85 for slag and said that if the construction was to be changed the commissioners should have relet the contract.
Capt. Redick, clerk of the commissioners, takes direct issue with the examiner in this matter, saying the contract specified either slag or gravel.
There was criticism too of paying Long and Bogner a commission of $130 for some work on the jail and the Van Dorn Co. $88.69 commission because the law he said does not anywhere allow a cost plus contract.

Sheriff’s Expense Account
The examiner went back into the records of Sheriff Jacot and found some fault with the expense account but stated that owing to the fact he was unable to take up the matter with Mr. Jacot he is making no finding.

County Surveyor
While the county surveyor spends about $20,000 a year the examiner questioned but $18.45 over three years.
He objects to the payment of $105 to trustees attending a road meeting a year ago in January but the language of the examiner is vague and difficult to understand.
The examiner questioned the right of the former recorder, Florence Patterson, to “put a slip in the cash drawer” for small sums of money although the examination showed that the record was squared to the penny at the end of each month.
In some of the offices the report is merely a long recital of the amounts of fees collected and statements showing the liability of the offices.
The reports of practically all the other officers are passed over with mere statements of fact as to bonds expenses and salaries. This includes those of Judge Saunders, Prosecutor Graven and Clerk of Courts Ferguson.
Officials in general were of the opinion today that the examiner overstepped his authority in some of the conclusions he reached and that language used in a number of cases could have been revised to milder terms without in any way compromising him in the exactness of his work.
The report at the beginning recites the fact that it is made to protect honest well meaning officials who make mistakes of the head and not of the heart and emphasizes that it takes years to build reputation.

Equipment Is Being Donated
Newly Established Stopover For Homeless Given Several Boosts.
Much progress has been made this week in the establishing of the veteran’s relief station on North Buckeye street. Through the cooperation of several Wooster people and firms the work is progressing rapidly.
There is still need for more articles. Included in those most vitally needed are pillows, bed clothing, a library table, and more chairs. The station also is in need of some table ware and can use almost any article which is needed around a home.
Through the Buckeye Aluminum Co., the station now is in possession of a full set of cooking utensils consisting of boiler, stew pans, skillets, griddles, pitchers, cups, batter bowl and other articles.
The Misses Florence and Hattie Limb were donors of six good straight backed chairs, a rocker, a clock, a bed and a rug, which was needed very badly. Material for the work table for the kitchen was supplied by the Wm. Curry Company.
Mrs. Emmet Saddler and Wayne Markley gave the station two rocking chairs. Nick Amster gave the half dozen pairs of pajamas and the Wooster Welfare association gave a half dozen bath robes.
Following is a note which was received from a couple who found lodging at the station a few nights ago:
“Thanks a lot for your kindness and friendliness toward my wife and myself. I will be in a position, I hope, in a few days to repay this favor and I will not forget.
“Here is success to your association and all connected with it.”

Army Hour Broadcast Brings Voice Of Major Fritz To Wooster Folks
Wooster people who were listening in on the army hour Sunday afternoon were startled out of their comfortable chairs, almost, when Major Ward Fritz was suddenly introduced without any advance warning whatsoever. He spoke from England.
The army hour was describing the evacuation of wounded from the battle areas. The speaker told how they were rushed back from the front via airplane, put into boats, and taken to England where they were put on a specially built hospital train to be taken to their hospitals.
“And now let me introduce the officer in charge of the hospital train,” he said, and then he presented Major Ward Fritz.
He didn’t say Major Fritz of Wooster, Ohio, but there was no mistaking his voice when it came over the air.
Ade Anderson was one of those who heard the broadcast. “It certainly seemed good to hear his voice,” said Mr. Anderson. “You sure could have knocked me over when I heard his name mentioned.”
Mrs. Ward Fritz and their three children, Martin, 9; Kathryn, 7; and Carl, 5, weren’t listening in and got to the radio only in time to hear the last few words their husband and father spoke.
Miss Florence Limb called Mrs. Fritz about the broadcast when it was going on.
“Hurry to the radio,” she told Mrs. Fritz, “your husband is broadcasting from England.”
Major Fritz was among the first of the Wooster doctors to leave for the army, when the nation was flexing its muscles and preparing for the war that was sure to come. He was at Camp Shelby for many months.
He left this country about a year ago going first to Northern Ireland where he was stationed until a comparatively short time ago. He has been in England for only a month or two.
The hospital train of which Major Fritz has charge will accommodate 300{?} wounded soldiers and has all the accountuments of the modern hospital.
“The children heard such a small part of the broadcast,” said Mrs. Fritz, “that they did not realize they were listening to their father until I told them. Then, of course, they were quite excited.”
An article in the March 26 issue of the Stars and Stripes daily newspaper published for the U.S. armed forces in the European war theater describes the hospital train. It says that “Major Ward A. Fritz of Wooster, Ohio, is in command of the unit which has occupied the newest lease-lend train which was built by British workmen.”
The trains are complete with flexible sterile beds, surgical rooms, even ash trays and fans beside the man’s bunk.
Each train carries one medical officer in command, to operating MO’s, three nurses and forty-eight enlisted attendants. There is room for 228 stretcher cases, 16 sitting cases (sick officers), 48 sitting cases (sick enlisted men). There are two padded compartments for men whose nerves may have cracked under the battle strain.

Major, Who Enlisted at 13, Says Two Wars Are Enough
“After this war I am going to settle down and do a lot of fishing,” was how Maj. Fritz Limb explained his plans for after the war.
“I’m also very grateful that I’ll be too old to be in another war. Two’s enough in one person’s life,” he continued, expressing his opinion of war as a career.
Maj. Limb was the son of Major M.R. Limb, who commanded Company D, 146th Infantry, formerly a Wooster company when he went overseas in World War I.
When thirteen, Fritz ran away from high school and enlisted in the regular army. “Had to lie about my age and tell them I was eighteen to get in,” he recalled. While in the army his rank was plain buck private.
“If there had been any ???, I probably would have had ??,” he remarked.
Fortunate in going overseas along with his father, Pvt. Limb served in France, Germany and Belgium.
“I got out of the army in ? and reenlisted – in the navy,” Maj. Limb said.
After four years in the navy as a radio operator, ?? decided it was about time to go back to school. “I took a course in engineering at Valparaiso University in Indiana and while there was in the officers reserve national guard,” he related.

Called to Duty
In the fall of 1940 all officers of the National Guard were called to active duty and after training in several camps in the states were sent to Hawaii in 1942 where Major Limb was connected with the engineer combat battalion.
From Hawaii Major Limb’s battalion was called for duty in the South Pacific where they participated in battles for New Guinea, the Ad? and Marshall Islands. ?? Dutch New Guinea ??? campaigns ? Front ??? New Guinea they were sent ?? of Leyte in the ?? Philippines then up to ??? the battalion became ?? known as The Avengers of Bataan.

In Manila Hospital
?? Major Limb was wounded ?? and went to a hospital in Manila and was later ?? the states for rest and ?? Ashford General ?? White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. This action took ?? years overseas.
On his blouse Major Limb wears the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart with Oak Leaf clusters, World War I ribbon with 3 stars for three major battles, the Am? Theatre ribbon for work done on the Alcan highway, Asiatic-Pacific ribbon with the Bronze Arrowhead for making an assault landing and three campaign stars, Philippines liberation ribbon with two stars.
Major Limb has about 145 points toward a discharge, however, officers are not given discharge privileges for points received.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m just another G.I.” Major Limb remarked. “Because I’ve been an enlisted a lot longer than an officer.”
While in Wooster he was visiting at the home of George Limb, North Grant st and Carl and Florence Limb, Nold ave and returned yesterday to the hospital in West Virginia until he’s reassigned.

Rebekah Lodge Was Formed in 1891, is Growing Steadily
Your 100th Anniversary Committee has asked the Rebekahs to submit a brief history of Wwayne Rebekah Lodge.
First may we congratulate our Odd Fellow Lodge on this happy and wonderful occasion, secondly for giving wives, mothers, sisters and daughters the privilege of membership in this great fraternity as the Rebekah Lodge.
There were several attempts made to organize a Rebekah Lodge in Wooster, but finally in 1891 the Odd Fellows met with success and Wayne Rebekah Lodge No. 323 was instituted on Feb. 5th.
The State Officers were in charge and twin classes were initiated, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. With about one hundred members, we were granted a charter. The first Noble Grand was Sister Emma Wacker and the first Vice Grand was Sister Mayme Palmer, with Brother Shilling and Brother Will Limb filling the supporters chairs for the first year.
We have on our roll today a few charger members and some members who joined the first year. They are Sister Lura Myers, Sister Elizabeth Snavely, Sister Margaret Goetz, Sister Alice Geiselman, Sister Anna Hilderbrand and Sister Icie Tawney. These Rebekahs have many pleasant memories of the new Lodge that was instituted 54 years ago.
In recording this history I must mention some of our departed sisters. It was their labors and interest in this great fraternity that have given to us a firm foundation to build our present membership of 252 members.
Sister Julia Russel was elected Assembly in 1920. She was chaplain in the degree work for many years.
Sister Lizzie Miller served as noble grand of the degree staff for 44 years. She served as warden of the Ohio Rebekah Assembly in 1907.
Sister Martha Kramer was appointed by Sister Russel to serve as assembly chaplain during her term of office. Sister Kramer served on the degree staff in the past noble grand chair.
The records show that Sister Elizabeth Snavely served as treasurer of our lodge for thirty-five years and has held important places on degree staff for fifty-two years. She is regular in attendance and is still a willing worker.
There are others, whose service in the early days of the lodge, I could mention — Sister Lizzie Paulus, Sister Hattie Limb and Sister Ella Keister, who served on the degree team for thirty years.
A number from Wayne Rebekah Lodge have received the Degree of Chivalry, the highest honor they can receive in Odd Fellowship. These sisters are Julia Russel, Lizzie Miller, Dora Stevens, Charlotte Hiler, Martha Kramer, Elizabeth Snavely, Alice Geiselman, Lizzie Paulus and Ella Keister.
In recording history, it is only proper to mention members who joined during the first ten years. These members have all contributed to the success of our lodge, C.M. Tawney, Emma Sang, Florence Limb, Dora Stevens, William Lightner, Lillian Lightner, Nellie Boigegrain, Pearl Atherton, Adam Goetz, Clementine Fritz, Mary Collins, Linda Lautenschlager, Carl Limb and William Barnard.
We are 54 years old this year and our membership is growing with a fine staff of officers. We will have a good report for our inspection this fall.
May you have a successful anniversary party and in closing, may we add this word of greeting —
Greetings glad and service true;
Working for our order every day.
Living — giving all the way,
Faithful, loyal service true,
Here’s our best to you.

New Ladies Auxiliary is Instituted
[with photo – In the foreground, left to right, Grace McComas, Louise Boigegrain and Mabel Crow. At rear, officers of Canton Wright, Ralph W. Miller, clerk; Carl Crow, lt.; Charles Hershberger, ensigh; and Fred Tieche, accountant.]
There were over 150 men and women in Wooster Saturday night to attend the institution of the new Ladies Auxiliary of the Patriarchs Militant, I.O.O.F.; the initiation of 21 local women as charter members of the organization and the installation of the new officers.
The meeting, which was in charges of Gen. Herbert A. Hughes of Zanesville, who is the general commanding, had representatives from all over Ohio and included many International officers.
The auxiliary is a branch of the local Canton Wright group and will be known as Wright No. 46. Chevaliers from the Akron Canton formed an honor guard while the ladies of the Elyria auxiliary initiated the candidates. Lady Melms, of Toledo, department president was the acting president for the ceremony. She also installed the officers with the assistance of Col. Earl Boyer, of Canton department adjutant.
Louise Boigegrain will serve as president; Mable Crow, vice-president; Elinor Speicher, secretary; and Grace McComas, treasurer; with Mrs. Dora Stevens elected to serve as past president.

In presenting his charge to the new officers and members, Department Commander Hughes told the assembly that a long awaited dream had come true for Ohio Canton groups in seeing an auxiliary to the Wooster men’s lodge instituted. “Wooster Canton Wrights,” he said, “were for many years an outstanding group at Grand Lodge meetings and their drill team was a crack team, unequaled throughout the state, and winner of many prizes. As a part of the largest Odd Fellow Lodge in Ohio we were expecting these two lodges to do great things.” He reminded the women that as charter members they held a prize possession and urged them to support and preserve the principles of the order.
Membership in the Ladies Auxiliary is only through relationship to a Canton member, or Rebekahs who have the Degree of Chivalry and the new member must also be a Rebekah.
Lady Blanche Hughes of Zanesville, who is the International president of the Auxiliaries spoke and also introduced several of her appointed officers who were present. Mrs. Boigegrain in accepting her charge expressed her gratitude to the visitors for their interest and work, and especially thanked Ralph W. Miller, Carl Crow and James Boigegrain for their help in planning the affair.
Dinner was served in the dining room at 6:30 by the Rebekahs.
Charter members of the Wright Auxiliary No. 46, in addition to the officers are as follows: Gertrude Herman, Clara Saal, Ina Cameron, Effie Skelly, Florence Bates, Moma Herman, Alice Mills, Grace Stinebring, Lillian Ray, Jessie Lucas, Lucy Derr, Florence Limb, Dorothy Peterson, Zoe Hershberger, Golda Blankenship and Maude Manson.
