The accident deprived him from the
use of one of his fingers all through
life. And nobody was compelled to
pay.
In more recent years he advocated
that city officials issue a rule to the
effect that all employes of the city

whenever they note a dangerous con
ditiori of the streets,* sidewalks or
other property under the control of
the city, that the same be reported
to the proper officials. The idea ap
pealed to him from the standpoint
that it would save the taxpayer
money, and the -city much endless
litigation and final payment for in
juries, as well as suffering upon the
part of those injured.
The idea did not make a hit with
the officials with whom it was taken
up.
The reason? Very simple.
"If a report is made and the fault
is not corrected prior to an accident,
there stands a prima facie case that
the city was negligent. The city,
through its officials, confess judgment
without trial," was the way one offi
cial stated it.
Many cities today waste thousands
of dollars in defending the officials
from their own negligence.
Holes in the streets, reported
would cost the taxpayers a simple
epair bill, while in the end, children
lose their lives, injuries come to
pedestrians, vehicles are disabled or
placed out of commission or sent to
tfie repair shop.
Conservancy of life and limb has
been the aim of many states.
When will citizens through their
officials do their part to conserve
life and limb?
In Cincinnati quite recently two
children lost their lives because the
mayor said the streets were in good
condition, but when the vice mayor
defended a man whose automobile
killed two children, he proved that
the streets were dangerous to human
lives,
A few dollars would have repaired
the street had the dangerous con
dition been officially reported, other
wise the city would have been com
pelled to pay.
Public officials must begin to real
ize that there is more important work
to be done other than signing and
collecting upon the* "pay voucher.—

months of June, July and August.
This is in accordance with agreement
with the local Retail Clerks' Union.
It means that during the hot months
all store employes will enjoy a half
holiday through the efforts and work
of the Retail Clerks' Union. The
Press just wonders how much those
who never give the union or organ
ized labor in general a thought, ap
preciate the holiday which perhaps
they would never otherwise hear of if
wasn't for the union making it
possible for them to gqjt. And no
doubt many of the merchants get just
as much pleasure out of the lay-off
from business cares on a hot day,
and perhaps more, than do the em
ployes. The, half-holiday for store
employes is just another example of
what organization does.

The committee to make arrange

tion and picnic met Tuesday night in
the labor temple. Jack Scheaf, chair

AARON EGGLESTON
Announces His Candidacy
For Office of County
Commissioner
AAl o*\ EGc LESION
Aaron E. Eggleston, the well known
contractor, has announced himself as
a candidate for the nomination for
county commissioner at the demo
cratic primaries in August. Mr. Eg
gleston only consented to be a can
didate for office at the suggestion of
many union men, business men and
farmers from all over the county.
Mr. Eggleston is peculiarly fitted
and well qualified for the position to
which he aspires, and if elected should
make an ideal member of the board
of county commissioners.
At present he is a contractor, em
ploying quite a number of men. For
many years he was actively identified
with the local organized labor move
ment. He has served a number of
terms as secretary and president of
the local Carpenters' Union. For
three terms he served as secretary of
Trades Council, and for four terms
its president. His work in these posi
tions and as a leader during his activ
ity in the labor movement needs.no
recalling to the local union working
people—suffice to say that no more
able or' conscientious official and
leader ever served Hamilton's labor
movement than did Aaron Eggleston
Mr. Eggleston's candidacy will no
doubt not only appeal to the union
men and women, but to business and
professional men and farmers as well
among whom he has a wide acquain
tance throughout the entire county
and to whom he is favorably known
because of his fair dealings with all
Not only has he taken active inter
est in organized labor work but in
many other things pertaining to'civic
welfare work, in which he has shown
always a willing hand. He was
member of the bureau of social work
and also served here as president. He
has done much to further the work of
the kiddies' tubercular camp and real
ly was one of the first to suggest
the camp.
In the Community Chest drives
Eggleston is always called on to as
sist, and it might be added that he
always responds. He is a member of
the Eagles, Moose and Elk lodge
and active in all of them. He is well
known in Methodist
church
circles
where he attends.
He is also a member of the Butler
County Fish and Game Protective
Association, in which organization he
has held office at various times and
where, because of his activity and
the keen interest displayed in the
association's affairs, he has made
host of friends and acquaintances and
from wh®m o doubt he will receive
strong support in his campaign for
office.
But to labor his candidacy should
especially uppeal. The need for a la
bor representative of the Eggleston
type in the office of county commis
sioner has long been felt, and in Mr
Eggleston labor surely has an excel
3 I I I
lent choice to vote for. If Aaron I
Eggleston is elected labor will have a
real representative in the county
commissioners' office—labor's inter-1
ests will be looked after.
And if Aaron Eggleston is elected I
the people of all Butler county will
have a real representative. He is
honest and efficient—his experience
gained through activity in the mariy
social and civic agencies in which he
always shows keen interest, as a
leader of men and as a contractor,
qualifies him splendidly for a county|
commissioner.

eat on St. MODERN EQUIPMENT
To say nothing about the time wasted in the old hand
cleaning methods, you know that when you sweep you "kick
up" the dust. Then you have to go over everything so care
fully to get the dust picked up. That's making work for
yourself.
In nearly a million American homes the Eureka Electric
Cleaner has solved this very problem. Like the blast of the
storm wind which might blow through the weave of a rug
hanging on a line, the powerful intake of the Eureka's con
trolled mechanical breath draws dirt and dust ^like inside
its capacious bag.
The Eureka, you know, works entirely by air." There
are no brushes to stir up dust, although if YOU prefer a
brush can be used. Action of the air is so cleansing, how
ever, that it is enough by itself. Then, when you have simply
rolled the cleaner over the rugs a few times the entire job
i s o n e
Dusting in your home gets to be only an olbasional thing
and is necessary only to get the dust that, blows in from the
street. You will not be filling the house full of dust clouds
yourself, anyway- So in
