who was killed in a crossing accident st West Manchester about a month ago. ' " Bailey was killed while driving a truck for the J. A. Long Creamery through the village of West Manchester. It is believed that the engineer failed to blow the whistle until within a ehort distance of the crossing, and that the train was travelling at a high rate of speed, more than allowed by the village ordinances. It is also asserted that the view of the crossing is obstructed, and that Bailey was driving net more than eight miles an hour when he was struck by the train. Mrs. Bailey seeks to recover $10,000 for the loss of her husband, $1,900 for the destruction of the truck and $281 for cans and cream destroyed. Greenville "Health Good. B. G. Edson and B. F. Snyder, of this city, were sworn in as members of the Greenville city board of health at a meeting held by that body, their appointment having- been recently confirmed by the council. "City Health Officer Wolverton reported that conditions in Greenville at the present

time were in line shape, there being

Bo contagious diseases existing. The board was asked to appoint a city meat inspector by Charles Buchy and Albert Suter, local dealers, in order that they might ship their meats out of the city, but this was deferred until the next regular meeting.- The Pennsylvania railway was ordered to

clean out the cattle pens lacing their tracks between Front and Walker streets, and to hereafter keep them in

a sanitai'y condition. There being no

further business, the board adjourned. New Pastor Coming. A call sent out by the St. Paul Reformed church of Greenville recently, has been accepted by the Rev. Ervin E. Young, of Akron, who will take charge of the work here on April 1. Rev. Young comes here with a record of successful pastorates fn Akron, Wooster and Germantown, O., and will have the entire support of his new congregation. Boze Given Damages. A verdict for $80 in favor of the plaintiffs was returned by the! jury in the case of A. E. and Elizabeth Boze vs." Cleo Kiser, after deliberating for about 30 minutes. The plaintiffs sued for $175, which they alleged was due them for personal injuries and damages sustained to a buggy which they were driving near Rossburg, when they were struck by an automobile driven by Kiser. The accident occurred in September, 1919. Hittle Will Contested. Another suit contesting a will has been filed in probate court here.

of Jacob Hittle. and others, alleging that the paper submitted is not the last will and testament of the decedent They ask the court to set aside and hold invalid the latter document. The late Jacob Hittle was a former resident of Greenville, living on Vine street. He died about a month ago. Hiatt Petition Granted. The petition for the Hiatt ditch, located in Liberty township, was up for hearing before the Darke .county commissioners, and same was granted.

The hearing on apportionment of assessments will be held March 8. Plaintiff Given Judgment. The jury in the case of Ida M. Lephart vs. James Poling and Augustus Lephart, executors of the estate of

Henry Lepbajt. after deliberating for

about an hour, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. . ' The case was for the support of

minor children, accounting, and other

relief. Only a few witnesses were called and the case was given to the

jury at noon.- Verdict was returned in

the sum of $465, the full amount asked in the petition of the plaintiff. Ditch Petition Granted.

At a meeting of the Dark county commissioners held Thursday, the petition for the Straker-Rhoades ditch in Mississinawa township was granted. Another hearing will be held on the case in March, probably for the apportionment of assessments. Recovers Lost Ford. D. O. Besecker, of this county, went to New Lebanon, south of Dayton, recently for the purpose of recovering a Ford car stolen from him last November. Besecker had driven in to Arcanum and had left the car parked in front of the office of Dr. Byers. Upon returning about half an hour later discovered that it had been stolen. Word was received from the New Lebanon authorities that the car had been sold to a man named Snyder, at

that place, and Besecker went to claim

CHINESE FAMINE TOLL RIVALS GREAT WAR

(By Associated Press.) . NEW YORK, Feb. 18. Fathers and mothers in some of the , faminestricken districts of China are committing suicide rather than watch their children starve to death, says a report received at the headquarters of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions here from Dr. Ralph A. Ward, one of its missionaries in China. "Multitudes flee trom the foodless districts only to die of exposure and hunger in distant cities where rice lines . are insufficient," wrote Dr. Ward. "Able-bodied men, old women and children scramble over each other in

the streets in the rush Jor a copper flung by. a passerby. Children are often crushed at stations of food distribution." Dr. Ward repeats the assertion previously published that 1,000 persons are dying dailv in the famine-

stricken district and adds: "More people face starvation in China this winter than perished on the battlefields of the great war." The Rev. Henry S. Leitzel, Methodist missionary at Sainfu, Shantung, wrote of visiting many villages where there was no signs of fuel or grain of any kind. "There was nothing but desolation," he went on. "The people were sitting around hopeless, discouraged and listless. .They know there is nothing to do but starve and end the struggle." At least 40,000 Chinese Christians ore among the famine sufferers, the Rev. Lyman L. Hale, reported in a letter. . In. many cases, he said, whole church memberships have been hopelessly scattered. Officials of the missionary board

which have been drawn to amend the 1919 law against the teaching of the j German language in the schools are doomed to defeat. ; ,A It was said that the advancement of the Bowers bill In the senate was merely a compliment to Senator Bow ers but regardless of what the senate might do, it was said that the bills would be overwhelmingly defeated in the house and that the unfavorable action by the house on the boxing commission bill which was supposed to have the support of the American legion could in no way be taken as an indication that favorable action will be had on the German bills which are opposed by the legion. While the boxing commission bill was supposed to have the support of the legion, it is said that many legion posts in the state were opposed to it. Trustee Bill to Fail. There is probably not much chance that the Senator Ratts bill to abolish the' office of township trustee as a school office will get through the legislature, but it is almost exactly the kind of measure that has been recommended by Prof. W. W. Black of Indiana university, who has made a wide study of the rural school system. Prof. Black says that regardless of increased available money there is little hope of improvement in the rural schools until the county becomes the educational unit and the employment of rural teachers is placed in the hands of county boards and much greater supervision is established for the" rural school system. But it is rather late in the leeisla-

; five session and the township trus

tees are numerous and not without political power so it is hardly probable the bill will get anywhere this session. The most that is hoped for it is that it may start some of the legislators to thinking and get something under way lor next session. Score Highway Work.

Egypt Raises Watermelons, Over 100 Pounds in Weight

(By. Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. One hundred and ten-pound watermelons! they have 'em in Egypt. Consular reports say so and consuls never err. But they keep 'em all at home. There is no export business. The consul at Alexandria noted the melons in the market there, "all weighing from 10 to 110 pounds and varying in price from 30 cents to

$1.50." He aso noted that while they were just watermellons," they have been given funny names such as Battikn 'and "Nims" and "Yaffawi" and that only two melons grow to the I1 ant.

kept; that all bids have not been recorded, and that advance payments of railroad freight have been made "to contractors. The last named point may prove to be the most serious. In paying out money by means of bank checks Mr. Wright acted through what is called a revolving fund. This fund was supposed to amount to $75,-

000 but was depleted and replenished from time to time so that something like $2,000,000 was spent through that fund. The accounts board believes that such suma should be paid out by the state auditor on voucher since it is the duty of the auditor's office to check up on all large expenditures. To Relieve Auditor. -There was talk today about making several changes in the law relating to the highway commission and it was believed to be necessary that some relief be given in the state auditor's office so his force will be sufficient to do all checking un on the highway

commission which has come in ' the

last few years to be the largest money spending bureau in the state. It has already been said that the governor will take some drastic action

in regard to the personnel of the, com

mission when the legislative session has ended but it is not believed that the report of the accounts board being made public at this time will result in any decided movement to cut the highway commission levy down to a very low point. It appeared today from what was being said that the legislature will continue in its present mood of willingness to give a reasonable levy to the highway commission but that it will wish to be assured in every way that the large expenditures of the commission will be properly safeguarded.
