Jones was taken to the Protestant hospital and will bo laid up for several weeks as the break is a bad one. The accident, occured in the third heat of the 2:12 pace of which Homer P won the first two heats and Prince A ’the third.. Bay could not clear Jones and was also thrown from the sulky but escaped with only a few bruises. Bessie L stayed down but Arlington Wells ran 3 miles before being caught. Bessie L only had a few scratches as a •result of the accident. I t is reported that Bessie L, was cold before the race by Mr. Hollen- worth of Jamestown^ the owned, for $1,700. The mare was formerly owned by Thompson Jones of this place and is regarded a good grand , circuit prospect. Wednesday afternoon a benefit was announced a t the State Pair track for Jones and the score card boys passed the hat among the audience, It was later announced from the Judge’s stand that $216 had been given in recognition of the misfortune, that befel the well- known colored race driver, 1 . , Another event Tuesday waB the winning in straight heats of the two year old stake trotting race by.

FEELING WAXING WARM OVER AUTO SPEED ENFORCEMENT. OFFICERS FOR NEXT DRY ELECTION IN THE COUNTY. Xenia is getting considerable free advertising now as a result of her | enforcement of the automobile speed j laws. Like all such questions th e re , are two sides and it appears that each is having their say. . The automobile clubs in the cities in this section of the state have warn­ ed their members ■ to detour around Xenia rather than take a chance on being arrested. The Cincinnati En­ quirer has carried some rather warm articles on the subject anl last week the Springfield Sun ridiculed the ofii- j cers for their stand while in a few days the Xenia City Manager, M r.! Riddle, replied in rather a caustic manner. , .Last Saturday the Xenia Gazette devoted some space as to the way Xenians had been handled' by the traffic cops, while in Cincinnati recent­ ly. The same reltaive to arrests in 1Springfield. The Gazette also com­ plained that the Enquirer would not print a statement of Xenia’s side of the case and was unfair in tha t man­ ner. The Sunday issue pf th e ‘Enquirer . has two letters from Cincinnatians that* must have made "'Police Judge Smith’s ears burn long before he had an opportunity to read them. Clarence Rossiter writes: ■“I was duly brought before the most contem­ ptible and insulting official i t has ev­ er been my lot to meet, and right here will say that I, was actually sur- . prised that a thrifty community like - Xenia can tolerate such an individ­ ual to preside over its police court,”. “I called in my father to witness the-incident and paid .the fine without further protest, wherouponvhe3 took both of us by the shoulders, pushed us awya and remarked: ‘Come on now and get out of here, both of you, be- • fore I add another fine.” - Sentiment in Xenia seems to be di­ vided on the policy adopted. Some claim that such notoriety is against the business interests and keeps people out of the city. Others favor and say the city,is but enforcing the same provisions as are in the state law and have the endorsement of the State Automobile .department. Judge Marcus Shoup in his letter to the Enquirer Monday supports the Cincinnati Automobile Club in their fight against the Xenia officers. The Judge says that he has witnessed no less than fifteen arrests from his res­ idence and th a t not one of them were justified. He criticises the appoint­ ment of a former bar tender as motor cop as the fellow is not responsible for anything he does and >is not re ­ quired to give bond like other officers. The Judge says the city is" broke” and this means was taken to fill the treasury. From surface indications it is not save for tourists to say they are from Xenia if taken up by the Queen City police or for Cincinnatians to give their correct address if the Xenia speed cop gets to land on them. FARMERS ARE DEFENDED , BY TWO EXPERTS, High prides of food stuffs cannot be attributed to profiteering by far­ mers, according to C. E. Thorne, direc­ tor of the Wooster Experiment station and Dean Alfred Vivianof the College of Agriculture, 0 . S, U, If the farmer counted his produc­ tion costs in the same manner that a city manufacturer or business man does, it would have cost him $2.57 per bushel to produce wheat last year ac­ cording to Vivian'. He could sell it for less Vivian says, because the farmer’s labor and that of his family ate count­ ed in a t a comparatively low figure, Cost of bread would have been ma­ terially higher had It not been for the fact that scientific farming resulted in increased acre-yield of wheat, ac­ cording to tfhorfte, in defense of the government's system of teaching scientific farming.

P. congregation to which Dr. White has been called, and citizens of the com­ munity. A farewell reception was held in the parlors of the United Presbyter­ ian church, for the pastor, Dr. J. P. White and family, Thursday evening. A profusion of garden flowers gave the rooms an attractive homey ap­ pearance. Mr. Max Kissick presided. After the invocation by Rev. Godfrey, Rev. Blagg and Rev. Crawford spoke in behalf of thei Ministerial associa­ tion, speaking in highest terms of Dr, White’s Christian support as to mat­ ters relative to church life, and of his deep interest as to the morale of the entire community and expressing sin­ cere regret that he was removing to another field. Rev. A. L. Godfrey gave a timely talk in which he spoke of the growth of the church under Dr. White’s pastorate. Mi*. W. A. Wilkin was next on the program and said he was rather pleased to call the preach­ er and his wife on the front carpet and was going to hand it to them just right, and after mingling much hu­ mor with a pleasant resume of the Whites’ seven years residence in Al­ bia handed both Mr. and Mrs. White a check, gifts from the congregation. Both responded with words of apprec­ iation and assured the large repre­ sentation of the congregation of kin­ dliest feelings and deepest interest in the growth of the church. ■ The music was in charge of Thom­ as Evans, chorister, who sang a solo. A? duet by Lucile -Hays and Mildred Evans and a selection by the church male quartet, composed of Thomas Evans, Clifford Bloomfield, Edward Hartel and J. W. Wilson. All the num­ bers were well rendered and called for* encores, that were cheerfully giv­ en. Rev. Blagg made the closing pray­ er, after which there Was a delight­ ful social hour. Frappe and. wafers were served. The guests . of honor were showered with good wishes for success and prosperity in their new home. J | . ---------------------- Whereas, in the removal of Rev. John P, White from our city .after serving as pastor of the United Pres­ byterian church for the past seven years the Albia Ministerial Union feels a keen sence of loss. By his un­ failing courtesy he lias greatly endear ed himself tb the members of the Union and to the community at large. Be it resolved, that the members of the Albia Ministerial Union express their sincere regret at the departure of Brother White and his family. That we commend him to the people of Cedarville, Ohio, as worthy of their confidence. We assure them that they will find in Dr. White an earnest and consecrated worker for the church and kingdom of God and a man de­ voted* to the building up of the best interests of the community. We would further express to Dr. White and the members of his family our best interest in their further sue- ess and bid them God-speed to their new home and work.

A New Corn Borer From Europe The European corn .borer has he- i come established in the territory ad - 1 J a q m t t t a . Boston,. Mass., apd aho>it , Schenectaily. N, Y. ‘N earH asten' tb'llr* insect has, during the past two years, made impossible the -profitable grow­ ing of corn. The borer is a yellowish gray caterpillar, covered wiili very small brown spots, and is about three- fourths of an inch' fling when full grown. The first evidence of the borer’s presence is the breaking of the stalk just beneath the tassel The larvae, later burrow throughout the entire stalk, damaging it so'badly , that it breaks over before the corn is mature. Photographs from Massa­ chusetts show a field of corn invaded by the borers, which have left the field a tangled mass oT broken corn stalks. Over 300 of the borers were . taken from ono hill of corn.

We wouldn’t . part with jt under conditions if we couldn’t get another one like it. W. L. CLEMANS. Any one considering a hot air furnace, will not make any mistake if they buy a Caloric Pipeless Furnace, as we have one in our own home and are perfectly satisfied with it. We use less coal than we ever did in our stoves. HARRY TOWNSLEY. - I am glad to say that the patented Caloric Pipeless Furnace which Was installed in October 1918 has done more than we expected. I can recommend it to any one who expects to put in a hot air system. We never knew what comfort was in cold weather until we installed the Caloric Pipeless Furnace. Having used one last winter we would not * be without one for several times their cost. D. B. TURNER. Our Patented Caloric Pipeless Furnace is simply grand. We are more than pleased with it. Would say to one and all it is a great fuel saver. ’ ’ FRED L. CLEMANS. I purchased one of your No, 48 Patented Caloric Furnaces and like it much better than I expected. I t does the work as represented. We heated the whole house with the same amount of money invested in coal as we did with base burner and heating not half as much. R. S. BULL. We are very much pleasedwith the Patented Caloric Pipeless fur­ nace and ti heats the house well, I t is a perfect success. We highly recommend it to others. We have a house of eight rooms and only used 6 tons of coal. ARTHUR R. BULL. We like the patented Caloric furnace all right. Don’t see how we did without it. I t works fine. CHARLES H.

Shrodes, gives good satisfaction. It keeps the room* in our home very comfortable Mrs. Leula Ballard, Jamestown, O. We like our Pipeless Caloric furnace very much. Would not like to -do without one. We have had a good time to try it out the past week when it was 10 degrees below zero. I t gave perfect satisfaction in the year of 1917 when we had zero weather from 10 to 20 degrees below. Wo used 3 tons of hard coal during the entire winter. T. W. ST. JOHN. We would not trade our Pipeless Caloric furnace in the College Library for a dozen of the ordinary furnaces. The Caloric consumes much less coal, has no dust and no' smoke. It takes up less space than the old System and is much neater and more attractive. I recommend it heartily to any seeking a satisfactory hot air system of heating.' Yours sincerely, W. R, M’CHESNEY, President of Cedarville College, G. A. Shrodes Cedarville, Ohio
