Hartung,, director of the State Department of Health. ‘‘It is a known fact that dental cases are far more numerous than all other physical handicaps afflicting hoys and girls of school* age," Dr. Hartung asserted. “Oral heal is recognized as of prime importance in general physical health, and it therefore should have frequent, systematized attention on the part of parents and others concerned.” He stated that the bureau of dental hygiene in the State Department of Health stands ready to co-operate with local and county health .author­ ities in providing adequate dental health programs during the next school year.

Now that most of the wheat has been cut and with favorable weather threshing and combining will be the order, farmers are speculating on what the probable yield will be. Some wheat has been damaged by the army worm but nothing to the extent that was feared ten days ago. Red rust’ is- another factor as some crops are badly affected and smoot is found in other crops. Threshers and older farmers are confident the yield will not be What most people estimate. There is straw for. a thirty bushel yield but tho sheaves are not. heavy enough for that. General opinion is that the excessive wet weather did much damage to wheat in that the, bloom did not have the chance to ptjjlefiire.- *’ " . One thresher predicts that the gen­ eral average on test will be below the standard only where unusual crops can be found on high or well drained ground. On heads hulled out there is much undeveloped grain to each head. Commissioners Say Shoyel Saves Money Greene county commissioners as­ serted Friday that a newly purchased power shovel not only has speeded‘up road building, without a lay-off of workers, but should pay for itself in si .oral years through a reduction in building costs. They pointed out the cost of exca­ vating 700 cubic yards of the Upper Bellbrook road was $900, or. about $1,21 per cubic yard, when hand labor was used to shovel dirt, but that ex­ cavation of 1,200 cubic yards of the Lower Bellbrook road with use of the new shovel was accomplislied at a cost of $272, or only 22% cents per cubic yard, TravelairejClub Starts July 12 J or Michigan m — . * The following-.is the schedule of the Travelaire Chib, that leaves July 12, for Michigan finder the director of Prof L.
