According to early returns Greene county farmers have increased theit crops for this year, according to as­ sessors* reports that are being can­ vassed by the State Tax Commission. There is a 4.3 per cent increase in wheat; a decrease of 10.4 on rye; 6.5 on oats; 19 ori* cbm, and 47 on pota­ toes. These figures may be changed When all returns are canvassed but give some idea of what the county is doing. . proper dimming apparatus. The fine for thp first offense is $25 and the second, not less than $50 nor more than. $100, The law was passed for the safety at automobile owners as well as oth­ ers who travel at night. Some such iaw has been needed badly and we are glad to. learn that the authorities in cities near us will enforce the law -o the letter. Every auto owner, for his own safety should see that every seers get to ramble as in the past. Automobiles by the thousand were there but they had to keep moving along the pike and not park on gov-' ernmeont property. Many of the fine country homes and barns have been demolished. Fence*1are down as well as all trees. It was a pitiful sight this past week to see men cutting down half ripened wheat and burning it to get it out of the way. } • Reports are that 2,500 men are at other owner meets the requirements work .this week, there being labor of this law.

WHY NOT A CREAMERY? . There is a growing demand here that local people organise a creamery company Tor the manufacture of ice and making of -butter, No better lo­ cation could be ' secured than . the School property off Xenia .avenue.' Well located near the railroad, good water-on the -ground and a good sub­ stantial building. Thousands of gallons of cream and milk are shipped from here each month and there is no reason why such an institution cannot he made to pay. if properly managed. As good prices could be paid as farmers are getting elsewhere fay the' Elgin but­ ter market is the standard for prices everywhere. Creamery butter- will Each year the'necessity for pure manufactured ice grows. The farm­ er needs it as much as the city-dwell­ er. During the heated seksbn there is always a scarcity so that a local fiant would have no trouble selling ;he surplus. Farmers should interest themselves in this proposition. Here is a chance for a good investment right at home. house was turned inside out hut no skirt could Be found. James Wallace, colored, the ptar boarder at the.Keyes home, was placed under arrest,.
