A NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS AND THE INTERESTS' OP CEDAR- FILLS AND VICINITY. FQRTY-FIFTll YEAR NO. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1922 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR Frank Jones : THE *‘IIOSS” MEAT TASTED I MUCH LIKE OTHER MEAT FARM AND FIELD NOTES Shot While Stealing Com Frank. Jones, aged about 40, col­ ored, is in the Dayton Workhouse and suffering with gunshot wounds as the result o f the theft o f corn from Lige Brigner’s crib about 5:30 Tues­ day morning. Mr. Brigner stated to the Herald Tuesday that he had been missing corn fo r several days and fo r five con3uccessive night he laid in wait with the above result Tuesday morn­ ing. He said that h° would put new locks on the door and mark his corn but it took the fifth night to bring the result, He had patched all o f Sat­ urday night until early Sunday morn­ ing when ho went to bed. When he arose later to feed the crib door had been broken and some corn taken, Monday night he concluded to stay every hour of the night He placed an inclosed buggy in his yard about 25 feet from the corn crib door. In this he stayed all night having a lantern and robes to keep him warm. About morning it began to snow and he was ready once to leave his post as no one would come in the snow and then he remembered o f what happened Sun­ day morning. In just a few minutes a man slipped around the( barn and up to the crib door. He looked all a- bout, even in the buggy, but the watch man was under the covers. He pried the fastening off the-door in one turn and looked around before going in. A fter entering the crib he would re­ turn, every few seconds to see if any one was about. Finally Mr. Brigner took aim just as Jones left the crib; The first shot took lodge in the left hip just eight steps away. Jones dropped his com and fled but by the time Mr. Brigner was out o f the bug­ gy his man was over the. fence. Here he fired again, part o f this load strik­ ing him in the shoulder. The chase continued and a third shot was fired and Jones fell, hut it is thought .he dropped to fool his captor. Just be­ fore Brigner approached Jones arose and ran,, like a deer, the chase being- lost until the library was reached when Jones was captured. He was fainting by this time and wanted to go home and Brigner -marched him at the-point o f the gun. Drs. Marsh and Stewart were cal­ led to dress his wounds. Later Jones was .taken before Mayor Mott and given a fine o f §25.and costs upon a plea Of guilty. He was turned over to Sheriff Funderburg and taken to the Dayton Workhouse. It is said that Jones was suffering greatly from his wounds. His left leg and arm were swelling arid it. may yet give him much trouble. The gun was loaded with number five shot. y For many months the community has been troubled with chicken and com thefts and the Cedarville Pro tective Association, has had Jones and two or three others under watch especially. A reward of $100 was up fo r the arrest and conviction arid Mr. Brigner gets this reward. Dr. Leo Anderson was up in Col- umbus the last o f the'week attending tho annual meeting o f the veterinar­ ians at tho Deshlqr Hotel. The com­ mittee on arrangements decided to put one over, on the guests and had ' a fa t young colt killed about thirty: days previous and placed in cold t ntorage until the event. The horse meat was roasted much like beef and served the same way without the guests, even a “ hoss” doctor! could not tell the difference. The af- ner dinner speakers even went so far as to elaborate on the xnenue served. When the guests had filled o f the liberal portions served. and enjoyed to the fullest extent the speeches of the evening, the head o f the commit­ tee, “ broke” the news as to what they had just feasted upon—and then all no doubt discovered that the meat did not taste like beef. W. R. Watt was in Marion Monday! where he attended a, largo Duroc sale, * * * The Abel Magnesia Company has contracted fo r the removal of all the old houses along the quarry as well as the residence across from the pa­ per mill and work has started.

It has been reported that the stone to be used for the first course on the Jamestown pike was to be secured in Columbus hut we find this contract has riot yet been let. It means much to labor in this com­ munity to have the stone,furnished by the Abel'Company. Business gen­ erally would be helped in this ,way. and it is to be hoped that the local com­ pany can get the contract. PUBLIC SALE DATES. Wm. Rohler, Saturday, Feb. 11.

Northup,-owner o f the Nor- thup hatchery near Yellow Springs, was in town Monday looking after business. Mr. Northup states that in his travel over the state in behalf of the Extention work of the O. S. U., he finds people more interested in poultry than ever. A few figures con­ cerning this branch of the farm will not be out o f place. According to the government reports Ohio ranks first :is a produced of poultry. Last year there were twenty-two million baby chicks hatched ,Jn Ohio by individuals or corporations fo r commercial pur­ poses. This great number o f chicks does not cover those hatched by hens, the small incubator on individual farms or those in towns for home use. Mr. Northup states that he hatched 18,000 chicks last spring! There is a firm in Cievelahd that has an incu­ bator with a million egg capacity. Mr. Northup is on expert judge of poultry dnd raises Anconas and spends much o f his time at this season o f the year judging poultry. There are few men hatching commercial baby chicks that give any closer attention to the work than Mr. Northup. He has few com­ plaints from his customers a3 to un­ healthy chicks.

Dobbins sale of Hamp­ shire hogs last Saturday at Central Garage was well attended. The 60 bred sows averaged better than $50. The Third annual Big Type Poland china sale takes place at tiie' Xenia Fairgrounds, Tuesday, February 14. The breeders o f this type o f hogs are making groat claims in that this particular breed is meeting with one o f the largest sales <jf any on the market. As stock hags,for thrift and gain they say they afe unsurpassed. If. you are wanting (brood sows with blood and lineage you should attend this sale Tuesday, MORE BONUS MONEY WILL BE NECESSARY Things are looking up fo r the far­ mer just at', this time. Hogs have re­ turned to 10 cents in the Chicago market and there is a continued de­ mand that may keep this price around a dime for some time. Wool also is on the upgrade and is much higher than at the first o f the season. We understand that good Delaine wool is worth 40 cents or better to the. farmer. This,means that sheep will command a much better price in the sales. We talked the other day with a man connected with big affairs and he informs us that business condi­ tions are much brighter the country over and that by spring*there should be a noticable change. The fact that English money, the pound Sterling, has jumped in price means that Euro­ pean conditions are also improved. When men are looking f r r horses they usually go to the horse market or look up one who handles horses for the trade. Here is where the big sale of Smith, Frame and Ritenour will umloubtly prove a success. Mr. Frame, and Mr. Ritenour are known lo be good judges o f horses. They will have 80 head o f horses to select from. You can go there and find just what you want. The same may be said of the hogs and sheep o f which there will be more than a thousand head, exceeding in numbers what can be found at the ordinary county fair. This sale is being advertised all over Ohio and in .p a rts .o f India!a. It is a big sale, on a big scale, on a big farm and manage 1 by men that do things successfully in a big way. * * * We have had many compliments on the typographical appearance o f the Smith, Frame and Ritenour sale bill, not only among farmers but auction corn and heads o f largo printing con­ cerns in neighboring cities. There no one person more able to judge the merits o f a sale bill than an exper ieneed auctioneer. One of the leading auctioneers says it is the best look ing bill he has ever seen. He also says that more sales afe underadver Used than over advertised. Ho says the calc bili is just as much o f a necessity as the auctioneer and that there should be liberal newspsper- sdvertising with it. We were also complimented on our “ Farm and Field” column as “ trade notes” among farmers, just like the notes o f the doings o f breeders in stock journals. A t the rate' that bonus applications are being received the $25,000,000 bond issue authorized-by the voters will not be enough to pay out. It was estimated that the ito y i. would, draw from $00 to $110 on an average but o f the 100,000 applications' on hand the average will be about $150 each. If this rate is maintained on the next 100,000 or more the state will not have enough money to pay out. NEW BUSS * : n e i s n o w IN OPERATION.
