The* : trustees communicated with the com­ missioners and, were ordered to file an affidavit against O, L. Smith, who is head o f the company. This ws* done in Squire Jackson’s court. We understand the matter has been compromised by the. companypitying the costs in the case and also for the repairing, o f the Allen scales and also agreeing to keep.,the truck off the roads while they jtfe soft, The truck ha# been the--cattle o f numerous com­ plaints frdm faWners as a damage to the roads but the' trustees took no action until Wednesday, . .

The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J* W. Patton. A large audience Was present, sev­ eral being from Xenia and nearby towns,, Mr, A. F. First, who has been .the O. S. & 8, O. Home Weekly, supt. o f printing and instructor of that department has resigned the position to enter the employ o f the Crowed publishing Co., Springfield. Mr. ‘First during his time at the Home has made many changes on the institutional paper that will no doubt stand as a precedent for hia successors. In fact we doubt if such another man can be secured having his ability to fill the position a t the modest .salary paid. In nearly twenty years we have not seen the Weekly reach as high standard as Mr. First leaves it. The head of the printing 'department must first of all have the talent and ability to in­ struct,the young boys for the printing trade. He must be a linotype operator and machinest capable o f taking care of the many complicated and intricate parts of this wonderful invention; He must also know job. printing and have not only ability from a mechanical standpoint but have talent to edit a good paper for not only the young in­ mates o f the Home hut the ex-pupils as well. Mr. First is but one of the few men with all these qualifications that, could fill the place with credit to himself mid the Homo. It is to be re­ gretted that .the great percent of our public funds has to be spent on lavish salaries for politicians that have little or no qualifications for the places they oecupywhiie men of merit are given nothing more than the wages of the day laborer,, Of course Mr. First is bettering himself in the change but it is to be regretted that the young men in-the printing department are to be denied,the completion o f the course or not permitted to ayail themselves of Mr. First’s training. We understand the Weekly will be discontinued for the present. SAYS THAT WATER HELPED INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION. 17 YEAR LOCUSTS DUE IN OHIO THIS YEAR. The 17-yea* locust is due to invade Ohio this year. The western, half of the state will be the part which the insect is expected to center its attack. Warning o f the coming of the pest has been issued by the agricultural college o f the O. S. U. In 1902 this insect appeared in Ohio and caused the terminal branches on limbs o f forest trees to die in mid­ summer and gave the woods a scorch­ ed appearance. In some localities serious injury was caused young fruit tree. Entomologists' suggest, therefore, that it woujd be well for those con­ templating setting out fruit trees this spring to take into account the expect ed invasion o f locusts and provide a protection for the young trees. Sprays will not kill the locusts for the reason that they do not feed on the trees. The injury is caused by the female inserting eggs into the young twigs; causing the twig-to die and fall to the ground. The locust in its immature stage live;! in the ground 1 6years, feeding on vegetable matter, and in the seven­ teenth year changes to a winged in­ sect which lives only a few weeks without feeding. # The locusts will emerge from the ground and migrate to nearby trees. The 17-year locusts are harmless to man and animals. NOTICE TO NURSES. CHURCHES MAY MERGER.

According to the New - York State College o f Agriculture a farmer in that state kept Water buckets in his cow stables and claimed to have had an increase o f fifty pounds o f milk a day in his herd from the use o f buck­ ets'in this way. The query is as to whether the water buckets were used before or after milking . Milk con­ sumers could have no objection as long as the buckets were at the front of the cow.
