HAGARPICNIC ONEOFBEST GREATOOTING The third annual picnic of the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co. was held at Kilkare Park, Saturr day. About 250 uf the employees and their families and friends en­ joyed the day. The start was made from the mill at 9-30 and there were about forty machines in line. Everybody wore bright col- ^ ored paper caps and carried small " horns. ' Each car was decorated with a large banner, making' a gay procession. After parading around Xenia the crowd* went directly to the grounds, A group picture was taken by a pho­ tographer from the N. C. R, Com­ pany at Dayton. . A large number of athletic con­ tests’ were then indulged in by a large group of those present. These'were-started by a “Pehny Hunt" for all children which fur­ nished a great dealof amusement. The contests for women and girls . and the winners of the same were as follows: 50?Yd. Dash won by Ruth Stro- bridge, Mabel Strobridge, second. Nail Driving contest won by Mrs, Wilson Galloway, Mrs. Con- nel, second. Bottle Billing Race won by Mrs White, Mabel Strobridge, second. Rifle Shoot won by Mrs. Flor­ ence Batts, Mabel Strobridge, Second. The womens* Tug-o„-War was won by “Buxom Brunnette team Mrs. Adin Barlow, captain. In this contest the ‘Beautiful Blonds* seemed unable to secure a foot­ hold that would allow them to use their full strength. The' base­ ball game- in the afternoon was very interesting and until the last inning Was a tie. The two teams seemed eyenly- matched. - The heavy hitting of “The Mary Pick- fords" "seemed too much for “The Poli Negris" under the leadership of Mrs. Adin Barlow. In the last of the ninth inning a home run by the former ended the game with s w o r e - i f $7*. The contests for men and boys and the winners of.the samearc as follows: 100 Yd. Dash won by Kenneth Tittle, with Harry Bratton second. . Shot Put won by J.. Rockhold, with Charles Conner, second. , Smoking Race won by Henry Wisecup with Charles Conner, second. Horse Shoe Pitching . tourna­ ment, Galloway and Funsett, first A, Barlow and F. Bratton, second The men’s Tug-o-War was be­ tween the “Rudolph Valentinos” and the “Douglass Fairbanks”, Captain Oscar Everhart, led the former and Captain Harry Pem­ berton, the latter. Due to the a- mount of practice each team had received this, was an extremely close contest. As soon as referee Funsett became convinced that the “Valentinos” were about to be taken through the river he blew his whistle and declared the “Fairbanks” the winners. The Men's Baseball game was rather one sided. Captain Jesse Bailey of the “Spark Plugs” had a combination that was impos­ sible to down, so that the “Toon- erville Trolleys”, under the lead­ ership of Henry Wisecup, lost out by the score of 9 to 2. During the day Trap Shooting was enjoyed by about 25 men. ' The first prize went to Charles Howell with an average of 78. Harry Bratton, second, 64. J. Barlow was third, and Adin Bar- low, fourth. Dinner was enjoyed at noon under the large dining tent with plenty of chicken and cake for all. President Charles E. Gallo­ way, of Evanston, 111., was pres­ ent and enjoyed the day, taking part in several of the contests, in­ cluding the Trap Shoot. The weather was perfect and about five o’clock the crowd broke up voting it the best picnic yet. All the employees are looking for­ ward to the monthly meetings of the “Hagar Seventy-Five Club” and Prisedent Joe Bratton says they will .be bigger and better than ever this winter.

Xenia Klansman stepped up behind us the first of the week in Xenia and wanted to know if we had heard of the executive committee organization last Sat­ urday. This Klansman was won­ dering how D.. H. Barnes was going to get the endorsement of a. committee that was boasting in certain circles that it was anti- klan. If we get the dope correct­ ly, the Klan had better watch Marshall’s footsteps. A wager has been posted between two of Xenia's citizens on this issue. It is that the committee will never endorse Barnes. This may be so. The committee may not have the chance. A better bet is that Barnes will be disqualified in the preliminary' start. The Klan can take the hint and then discuss the case with the Kleagle of the Kounty Kommittee. -• '• • The old Daugherty fight loom­ ed up last week when it came to State Central Committeeman P. H.
