FIFTY-NINTH YEAR NO, NEWSLETTER FROMSTATE DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS. — Warning against tetanus as a result of injuries from firekOrke preceding and during* the Fourth, of 'July celebration was issued by Dr. Walter H, Hartung, director of the State Department of Health. “A1F wounds due to fireworks or gun­ powder are exceedingly dangerous/’ Dr. Hartung said, “No matter' how trivial an injury seems, every person injured should receive a prophylactic injection of tetanus or lockjaw anti­ toxin within a few hours. Only the simplest first-aid treatment is per­ missible before taking the patient to a physician.” Director Hartung pointed out that it isn’t the size of the firearm or the apparent serious­ ness of the injury that tells the story, and called...attention to the fact that General Leonard Wood - recovered from a severe, wound inflicted when a mortar shell burst inside a gun, ex­ ploding it, but that his small grand­ son died of tetanus which resulted from a small wound caused by a toy pistol.

ADVERTISING IS MEWft M HflOK AS THE HEADLINES ON THV FRONT PAGE. OFTEN IT Ift Q i MORE SIGNIFICANCE TO TOD. PBICfiflJBO A YEAR M E COUNTY Here is a reproduction of what at one time was pne of the show places in farms in Greene county. I t was known for thfdl amount of fruit produced each year and the quality, allies being featured. Just u few of the apple trees can be seen in the fore­ ground as the entire ncerage in front of the house was devoted to orchard." Fifty or more years ago three of the most prosperous farmers of those days erected brick residences, this house being one, the second being known as the Daniel Marshall house, and the third; erected by James Townsley. The latter burned some years ago. By this time you have" completed the description and formed your conclusion just what farm we have pictured. Of course an orchard of fifty years ago would not be found today. However the brick dwelling remains. The house was erected by James Barber and is located on what is known as the Barber road just off the Columbus pike east of town. When the Barber estate was divided - the farm was taken over by the son, the late J. C. Barbesr, A1 member of tho third generation of the Barber family, J. Warren Barber, owns the farm today. At one time James Barber owned several hundred acres in thnt section of Cedarville Township. OPEN JULY 1ST The Greene County Museum, East Second and Monroe streets, Xenia, will he opened to the public on Wednes­ day, July. 1st, it is announced by officers of the Greene County Museum Association. The hours of the open­ ing will be from 2 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 in the eve­ ning. Gifts and loans of various articles of historical interest* have been made to the Museum, and. these will be on exhibit during the'opening. The property fo r the Museum was deeded by Miss Emma King of Xenia to the county commissioners for the purpose of preserving and exhibiting to tho public such objects' and docu­ ments as have value from their con­ nection with the history of tho county or pioneer life, ■The educational value of such an enterprise was also a mo-* tive in its formation. ^ ^The Greene County Museum 'Asso­ ciation, consisting of members .from* throughout the county, was organised to carry out these purposes, and under its supervision the: building* has been remodeled' and the various exhibits prepared. The pioneer Galloway ;Iog cabin, located -on U. S. Highway 68 between Oldtofn and Goes was recently ac­ quired by the Museum through a gift, and it is planned to move this cabin; set it up on the Museum property and furnish it in keeping with the times in which it was built. This, it is be­ lieved, will be a valuable object les­ son in the pioneer life of the county. Louise Jacobs Heads Greene Couiitians Make . ■ • . ...

Tuesday of heart trauWe. unless the stock is forced by lack of grass o r legumes satisfy their hunger with plaints which they* would not ordinarily eat. The four which age listed as dangerous are water hem- ^ lock, white snake-root, wild cherry, aiid buckeye. The buckeye is not poisonous except when in one stage of growth, Buck­ eye sprouts appear to be injurious to livestock. The wild cherry is harm­ less except when the leaves o f the plant have wilted, os may'happen if branches of trees are biown down by ■ tho wind or if brush are cut and are left lying on the ground. THe water hemlock is qmte a rank-growing plant which is found on fertile Soils, usually where there is plenty of moisture. The plant has a strong odor which repels , livestock unless they are quite hungry. All parts of this plant are poisonous and only a small amount has to be eaten to cause death. The water hem- ock is. as toxic to human beings as it is to animals. Farmers who want to eradicate the water hemlock from pastures can learn to recognize th e . plapt. The plant’s stems are smooth, hollow, and usually much branched, These stems '' tend to grow erectly.. The branches are spaced on the stem so that each is on a different side of the stem than the one above or below It. The leaves are divided several times so that they resemble those of the car­ rot somewhat. The white flowers are small and are borne in open dusters on the etids of the branches. The seeds are split in two boat-shaped halves which are joined on the flat side, Wh'te snake-root is a native plant which is found most often in wooded pastures, on stream banka, or in fields which have been recently cleared but which have not been plowed. The stems qf this plant are slender and usually. are divided into several branches. The stems and leaves may be smooth’or they may be lightly covered With long, soft hairs. The leaves afro fairly islander but may tend to be heart-shaped a t the base. That white flowers of the snake- root are tube-shaped and appear in large, loose dusters which may be on til's ends of the branches or in the angles formed by Hus branches With the stem, .th e roots o f the plant a te fibrous so. It pulls quite easily. Both the water hehfledt and the white snake-root should he eradicated from pasture lands. They should be destroyed before they go to seed to prevent a new crop from springing up next year.
