Park o f the department Of agronomy,’ Ohio State university, has been requested b y persons in all sections o f the United States and by many Canadians and numerous Europeans. * The new species o f clover is more vigorous and it lives from two to three weeks longer than the other types. It will therefore provide pasture at the time most needed, in the late summer. Only five bushels o f the seed are in ex istence, and it will be used in various parts o f the world for experimental purposes, Professor Park said. A warning against an influenza epidemic has been sounded by the State Department o f Health. It was urged that every cold be regarded as a possible forerunner o f influenza, and that a physichm. be consulted. More cases o f influenza have been re ported since January I than durnig the entire year 1984, The total from January 1 to February I I was 2,424 cases; last year’s twelve-month < total was 2,877. The health department pointed out that the figures represent hut a small fraction o f the actual cases “ because influenza is a disease fo r which medical attention ft, un fortunately, seldom sought.” FARM HOME BURNS Prank Cordell, tenant farmer re siding near London, and his wife and three children are homeless since Sunday, While i t ejiurch the home burned With all contents, including $•#6 worth o f new furniture purchas ed and delivered to their hoine on Saturday.

The Funds Received By .State-Aid Schools Money is at hand fo r Greene County’s five state-aid school dis tricts, according,to H. C.

January. Sums allocated to each district are; Cedarville, $1,356; Sugarcreek, $6,- 477; Miami, $4,092; Clifton, $2;228; and Cnesarcreek, $743.. Included in the state funds were several special allowances fo r reha-. bilation purposes.
