of the foreign mail leaves and enters
the port of Newi York, which makes
of the New York office the "neck ol

OHIO NATIONAL GUARD
PART OF U. S. ARMY
By Governor Davis' administra
tive reorganization, Ohio today for
the first time in nearly half a cen
tury, has a governmental department
exclusively devoted to the develop
ment of the Ohio National Guard and
to the solution of the state's military
problems gerenally.
since the Governor s plan of State
with-(operation has gone into effect, the
Adjutant General of the State has
become what his title implies and
what his original states wa3 intend
ed to be, a purely military official,1
all of whose duties are concentrated
upon the building up of a volunteer
citizens military force, to serve the
State in the ecent of great distress
and to be prepare for the call of the
national government in case of war.
As now constituted, the office of
Adjutant General has nd longer link
ed with it the duties of Chief Janitor
of State Building's, Custodian, Real
instate Buyer Office, Spacfc Distribu
tor, and many other kindred func
tions wholly dissociated from his
military work, and which prevented
the most effective performance of the
latter.
One of ( the main reasons for the
necessity of relieving the Adjutant
General from the various .custodial
iunctions, which according to , Ad
jutant General Florence, required
fully three-fourths of his time, is
the national government's new
policy under which the National
Guard wit)i the Regular Army, con
stitutes the United States army -and
13 an active, recognized arid nation
ally supported branch of the national
military force.
Under this new status of the Guarc1
Ohio has to raise its strength to 19,
200 troops, as compared with the pre
vious peace maximum of boOO. It
also f x'es a more modern baf;
of ni: y organization, in confor
mity ,..i.n war department require
ments, and necessitates a much more
extensive method of operation than
was ever called for under the 'former
system.
Because the Adjutant General, un
der the Governor as Chief Com
mander, is the head of the National
Guard, all these additional functions
beginning with the increase of the
National Guard strength, devolve
directly upon him.
It was forty-five years ago that
civilizan duties were first attached
to the Adjutant General. On March
27, 1376, the General Assembly
transferred to him custody of the
Treasury, which office was abolished
with the transfer. From then on.
new duties of a similar nature were
work,
Now, he is relieved of all but the
military part of his duties, in order
that he- may give his undivided at
tention to the reorganization of the
National Guard, which will be the
fourth largest state military unit,
(ana in case ot war will be one of the

iai. fou activities are co-r.rdintl
in the General Staff.
All National Guard training work
will be caried on under the supervi
sion of tile United States War depart
ment which bears necessary ex
penses. And the training will be
in as close adherence to actual war
conditions as "possible so that in event
of need, the troops and the system
itself may be in full readiness , for
field operations.
This is being first carried out in
the field training camps of the Na
tional Guard at Camp Perry, in
which details of transportation, sup
plies, camp operation, and similar
problems are carried out with the
i largely to individual judgment.
The lesson of the war. thev sav.
has taught the impracticability of
such, a course in time of stress.
The only States which will have
larger national guard units than Ohio
will be New York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois.
The new system under which the
militia, of the eountrv will be an in
tegral part of the first defense of the
United States army, was decided up
on by the National Government, as
preferable to maintainance of a large
standing army.
"The basis of the new system is
that a strong citizens soldier army
can be maintained at much less ex
pense than a large regular army,"
said Adjutant General Florence. The
citizen army; however, must be as
rigidly and practically trained a3
possible, so that its. status of pre
paration may meet the acid test of
actual field work at any time.

COSTLY LIQUOR
Friday Is Big Day in Judge A. M
Barber's Court $150.00 and Costs '
is Popular Expression in the Court
Room
Last Thursday information in re
gard to the erstwhile patrons of
Powers and Getter in the clandes
tine whiskey business came into the
hands of Prosecuting Attorney Can
lield and Thursday afternoon Sheriff
Fold and his deputies armed with
warrants went over to Lyons and
placed ten alleged purchasers of
whiskey under arrest, all ten appear
ed in Probate Court on Friday and
the "Legal Mill" began grinding
early in the morning and continued
during the day.
Don Callahan, Roy Andress, Van.
Emmons, Fred Hoeffer, Carroll
Rochte, Cornelius Keller, Russell
R'.'.enorr, Wm. Garber, and Ed
Hall, all appeared in court and pled
not guilty to the charge of receiving
intoxicating liquor and Friday after
noon Orra Etnmerson also appeared
in court and pled not guilty to the
same charge.
The case of Don Callahan was the
first called to trial. Harold Powers
testified that on or about June 4th
he delivered to Callahan a pint of
whiskey at Lvons for which he re
ceived $2.0Q, that Callahan had pre
viously ordered the whiskey and
that he carried it from his home in
the northeast part of Royalton town
ship. James Powers, father of the
boy was called to the witness stand
and corroborated the testimony of
the boy and also testified that he had
sold Callahan a quart of whiskey for
which. Callahan paid him $3.50 at
Powers' home.
Callahan had no evidence to pre
sent to refuse the testimony of Har
rold and his father, but protested his
innocence.
Judge Barber found him guilty as
charged and sentenced him to a fine
of $150 and costs and remanded him
to the County jail until .the fine and
costs were paid. The case of Cal
lahan was typical of all the other
cases with the exception of the case
of Roy Andress which was dismissed
for lack of evidence and the cases of
Wm. Garber and Ed Hall which were
dismissed at the request of the Pro
secuting Attorney.
Fred Hoeffer, Van Emmons, Car
rol Rochte, Cornelius Keller, Russell
Ridenour and Orra Emmerson where
each found quilty of receiving in
toxicating liquor and each fined $150
and costs. Tne aggregate of fine
collected by the Court for this one
day's grist was $1050 and this in ad
dition to the $500 fine imposed upon
Getter and $800 on James Powers
for transporting and selling intoxi
cating liquor, earlier in the week
making a grand total of $2300 in
fines from the "boot legging" opera
tions in Royalton township.
The officers are not enjoying the
raids but are merely performing
their duties in enforcing the law and
have no other alternative than to
make the arrests, collect the evidence
prosecute the cases and impose the
prescribed penalties.
They are anxious that the illicit
traffic in intoxicating liquors in Ful-
ton County shall cease entirely for
it will relieve them of unpleasant and
rather ' strenuous wdrk.

The following statement made by
a member of her family is a beautiful
tribute to her memory, "In her de -

ing grandmother found the children
and grandchildren willingly and lov-

by the desire, which filled their
hearts, to repay the kindness and
care she had given them from child-
hood, and to shower love upon her
to the end. She held all her kin-
dred very dear and it is true that no
tribute ever written to "mother-
love' would be an exaggeration of
mother Scott s devotion to her chil -
dren. From childhood to manhood
and womanhood, those who calk-d
her mother looked to her as thSir
best friend and wisest counsellor.
Her usefulness began in her young
years and no words are adequate to
tell of , the good she has done for
humanity.
Those who knew her feel sincerely
that in the passing of Mrs. Eliza-
