Houston Land Sold Again “ Houstonia,” former country place of the late Foster B. Houston, which has been sold, several times since the receivership o f the Houston interests eight years ago, has again changed hands, it is reported. H. B. Crites, o f Circleville is said to be the sew Owner. The following story appeared in a recent issue o f the Circleville Herald and Watchman; H. M. Crites, o f H. M. Crites & Ce., PickaWay county's largest land owner, has practically . completed negotia­ tions fo r the purchase o f 6,000 acres o f farm land in Madison county north o f London, While Mr, Crites declined to state the price Thursday, it is understood from London that the average is $125 an acre and that the total purchase price Would run closd to $650,000. Mr, Crife* said he Would raise vege­ tables under glass fo r the winter trade but had not decided what to do with the acreage devoted to flowers. Other o f his plans include the cultivation o f sweet corn and the erection o f a new factory i f he cannot lease a cannery he once owned in London* Heat Wave Outs Fair Attendance The Ohio State Fair opened Monday With a record breaking attendance but dropped Tuesday when the mercury reached a new high point. The ex­ position surpasses anything o f the kind in the part and will continue over Labor Day, The amusement feature this year is Sousa and his band, the outstanding band organization in this country. It alone is worth more than the pries o f admission to the fair, Mrs. Paul Ramsey o f this place was one o f the heat victims at the fair grounds Tuesday. A fter treatment at the l e d Crow station she w ts aMe to return home. lu view o f the fa ct that the price j o f wheat in Ohio, as elsewhere in the United States, is act largely by the wt rid supply and the world demand, figures on the 1928 wheat crop of the world are interesting to Ohio wheat farmers. Such figures, fo r 15 of the most important wheat countries o f the world, indicate a 1928 wheat crop for these countries, o f only 1,880 mil­ lion bushels, m against 2,040 million bushels fo r 1927, says the rural economics department o f the Ohio State University* This decrease is. in prospect re­ gardless p f the fact that there has been an increase in acreage devoted to wheat, during the past year as. compared to 127, F o r the 24 coun­ tries which include three-fourths of the wheat acreage o f .the world, this year’s acreage totals 179 million acres as against 177,800,000 acres last year. In these figures as well as those on the yield o f wheat, Russia and "China are omitted, because it is impossible* to obtain reliable reports from them. Present prospects in the United States are fo r a total crop o f 800 million bushels, as against 872 million bushels last year. Estimates fo r Ohio.give a crop o f 9,941,000 bushels this year, compared with nearly 29 million bushels in 1927. No Business Is Too Big to XJm Ad­ vertising and None Too Poor to A f­ ford using i t AY , AUGUST 31,1928 PRICE, $1.60 A YEAR Something About Aughst Birds It would seem that the hot sun of dry August days here in Ohio ‘might deter even the most eager of travel­ lers from setting out bn a journey to tropical regions, but the observant bird student soon notes that the south­ ward trek has really begun before the end o f this month. Long before un­ favorable conditions should force birds to seek more congenial regions, the bird population shifts to the south, Here in the north, food o f all kinds is abundant at this season. Insect life is at flood tide and weed seeds and grain -are everywhere available. Nevertheless, in this land o f plenty, the same irresistible wanderlust devel ops-atid one by one w e must check off many o f ottr feathered friends as they leave us fo r awhile. In the spring, most o f them came with a hurst o f MOTORACCIDENT Thomas Duty, aged 54, Tronton, was almost instantly killed Tuesday evening at the Trehlnes crossing when hit by a Pennsylvania passenger train. The body wan badly mangled and was picked up 120 feet from the cross ing, The truck was loaded with apples for the Dayton market and was carried unite a distance down the track. It was a total wreck. The passenger engine was also put out o f business and unable to ‘proceed - to Dayton, The impact was so great that apples were hurled through the air into the G, O. Miller store break­ ing windows and showcases, Coroner F. M. Chambliss ordered the body taken tp the R. M.

Already the Swallows show signs o f unrest and a t evening they* perch in long lines on the telephone wires along our highways. By the month- end most o f the graceful Barn Swal­ lows will have gone from the northern h a lf o f- the state. The strikingly bicolored Tree Swallows have come down from more northern summer homes to tarry with their Ohio cousins fo r a few weeks and then all o f them will hid us adieu! The little demure Roughwing Swallows which nested in the stone abutments o f our- bridges will leave our quiet streams before September first. It is to be noted that the Swallows are insect-eaters and feed on the wing. Another group o f insect-eating birds is now also enroute to the south, for out o f the forests o f the North have i>egun to come the Warbler hosts, The bird student who found the Warblers confusing in the spring time, when in bright plumage and in song, may well despair o f identifying some o f these fall migrants, for now adults in dull plumage and immature birds add to the difficulties o f study, During August we welcome the ad­ vance guard o f many species, The gay Magnolia is here again. The Bay- sreasted, in disguise at this season, appears in flocks with the Black-polls, The two are close relatives and betray their kinship by striking similarities nYall dress. The rare Connecticut and Mourning Warblers, both in paler plumage may atop with us for a few weeks. The Wilson, with its je t black cap, and the Canada, both o f them with bright yellow beneath, are two mote cousins who pay us a call. Some o f these will tarry hut a few weeks, saving before mid-September. Other species will perhaps stay until October first, fo r fall migration dates are not so definitely fixed as are the spring arrival dates we gave some months ago, Down the river, where the shruken stream now flows betweeh thickets of water willow, We must say our fare­ wells to the Yellow Warbler, for quite all o f them will be gone by the month- end. Nor must we forget the Chat, Which has mocked Us and whistled to u s fro.A.the thickets along neglected 'encerowa. Unlike the other Warh- ers in size and actions, he carries his ndividuality clear into migration and moke his passage via Mexico rather than by the over-water route across the Caribbean, which most-Warblers seem to prefer, Thousands o f miles o f land and Water stretch before these feathered wayfarers. To the enemies which kill with tooth and claw must be added the hazard* o f wind and weather. As they face these meny perils, may we not wish these weak, frail Warblers a bon voyage? . One man was killed and two others injured, not’ seriously, in an accident involving three automobiles on the Jamestowh-Xenia pike, Saturday night. The dead man is John Mitchell, 39, negro, Dayton, who with his father, Peter Mitchell and a brother* Melvon Mitchell, were enroute to Jamestown to attend the annual moon­ light picnic here, which attracted hundreds of persons from nearby towns and cities. Peter Mitchell was injured slightly. According to principals in the crash, the Mitchell machine, which is said to have" had no tail light burning, rah out o f gasoline and oil and stalled in the middle o f the road. John Mitchell obtained gasoline and oil and was put­ ting it in the stalled machine, when two machines coming from opposite directions collided with the ^tailed car. One o f the machines was driven by Clarence Ryan, Xenia, Ryan is said to have received cuts about the face and body in the crash, although his injuries are not serious. The third machine is,said to have been driven .by John ShinkelJ Jamestown, who was accompanied by several other'youths.
