P1NALTY RANGE* FROM »25 TO
•6,000 FOR FAILURE TO FILE A
SWORN STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP OR BILL OF SALE.
All automobile owners who hsve not
previously doue so must file s sworn
statement of ownership with the clerk
of the court after July 26, when amendments to the Atwood Automobile
Anti-Theft Law passed st the recent
session of the legislature become effective. The Ohio State Automobile
association wss responsible for the
enactment of the law originally, also
secured passage of the amendments,
thst no doubt might remain as to who
should (lie such statements.
Under a ruling made by former
Attorney General John O. Price, It
wss held that only the owners of
second hand cars were required to
file such statements with the clerk of
the court. One of the recent amend
meats to the law was psssed to lesve
no question on this point defining the
term'"used motor vehicle" to mean a
"motor vehicle" which has been operated, driven or used by and corporation, partnership, association, or
person for any purpose except testing
or demonstrating purposes, thus requiring; sll owners of automobiles to
file a sworn statement of ownership
Including those exempt under the
former ruling.
Such was the original Intent of the
Atwood Law when enacted two years
ago which with the amendments made
now provide increased penalties ranging from $26 to $6,000 for failure to
file a sworn statement of ownership
or a bill of sale In every transaction
where ownership of an automobile Is
transferred.
'In the event the owner of an automobile .should sell it In a county in
the state other than the one In which
he purchased It, the clerk In the county
where the m last sale is made Is required to communicate with the clerk
of tha county where.the original purchase was made. This must be done
to ascertain it say irregularities have
taken place in' connection with the
transaction.  ,»< '• . '
Ss addition to tha aaaaHr #ro»rided
for failure to- comply, with' any part
ot ths law, a further penalty of from
$60 to $6,000 and not more than five
ysars In the penitentiary may be Imposed by the court for misrepresentation in sworn statements ot ownership or bills ot sale thst may be filed.
C. M. Williams, clerk of courts of
this county has Issued a letter stating
that tbe law would be inforced to Its
full extent and hopes to hsve all auto
owners effected by the law, give the
new ruling their careful observance.

Another Immortal Fourth will soon
ba  hsrs.    How   get   ready   for   ltr
How spend the day?   Why not plan
for a sane Fourth, one with a little
reel patriotism in it?   How many of
our boys and girls today know what
this natal day means for America and
tbe   world?   How   can   they   know,
when about the only things they are
treated to Is s lot ot noise snd the
"merry-go-round?"   To whom, on  the
Fourth of July are John1 Adams and
Thomas. Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and Patrick Henry end James Wilson snd even Benjamin Franklin ad
Oeorge Washington more than mere
names?   This  is  the  day  when  the
Fathers of the Republic snd the Constitution ought to live anew  In our
minds snd  hearts—when they ought
so to be brought back to earth that
they will Inspire aspiring youth to a
like loyal service!   Sidney L. Oulick
has mads s wise suggestion for a sane
keeping of- the Fourth: "Let each community make the Nation's Commencement   Day   the  Commencement   Day
for every young man snd woman that
rotes for the first time In the follow:
las November; sad let ths class in-
elude also sny  whp  are  taking  out
their      naturalisation    papers.      Let
there be exercise suitable for such sn
occasion.    There could be no better
oportuntty for emphasis upon tbe true
meaning of ettlsensblp."
Let us at least begin to think sbout
some saner plan tor the Fourth. Now
Is s good time to consider these "Seven
Greatest Americans," Do we agree
with Robinson's "Seven?" The editor of s certain western local paper
says: "To msks a piece for Resevelt,
this list crowds out George Washing-
toil, who did mors to create our government than any other man; Alex-
snder Hamilton, who did more to form
For some time past, It has been
noted by several local people that
plants, vases, flower pots, watering
pots, and other articles have been
taken from graves In the Cleveland
avenue cemetery. This practice has
been existing for the past few months,
very much to the displeasure of
friends and relatives of those burled
there.
It Is a thing quite out of the ordinary, In tact it is hardly believable
that any person or persons should
have a craving for the removing ot
these articles as to take them from
the graves In a cemetery. Time, as
well as money, Is spent by lot owners
In the cemetery to keep flowers and
planta on the graves, only to be discouraged to And that someone has
taken them off.
We are calling attention to this
fact, because we believe, that If things
are being taken from the graves, as
reported, it should be stopped. Just
how It can be stopped Is not exactly
known, but any person or persons
with a single ounce ot respect within
themselves would surely refrain iruni
tiuch practice.

••There had been months of
unrest, of curiously painful
wonderment that her position, her wealth, her popularity no longer sufficed She
believed that she had lived
through the dreams and fancies of a girl to become a
woman of the world. And
the had gone on as before,
a part of the glittering show,
but no longer blind to tha
truth—that there was nothing In har luxurious Ufa to
make it significant."
But this New York sodetv
girl buys a cattle ranch which
becomes the center of frontier warfare. She finds aa
object for her wealth and
abilities; she finds the keenest asst in living and finally—
she finds love.
