REGARD OFFERED Lost two pocketbook* on the'detour between Cedarville and Selma, Re­ in 41 cities of the .United States be­ tween July 1, 1926 and June 30, 1927, Ohio apples made up only a small part of the carlot shipments to these cities. In only 14 of the 41 cities studied^ were any Ohio apples received by rail. These citjes included Washington, D, C., St. Louis, Augusta, Ga.,. Tampa, New Orleans, Chica|o, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Detroit, Lexington .and Louisville, Ky., as'well as Ohio cities, But less than 3 per cent of the carlot unloads of apples in these cities ori­ ginated in Ohio. Less than 8;per cent of .the unloads in the cities of Ohio and ' adjoining states, were Ohio apples. ’ . However, in several pf the markets Studied, local receipts by motor truck made up a considerable proportion of the apple supply. These shipment : account for the consumption of some Ohio apples in Ohio,markets and cities of adjoining states, Cedarville Lost By Close Score Cedarville College Yellow-Jackets lost the second baseball game of the season Monday to Wilberforce but by a close score of 10 to 8 on the local diamonds.
