A Jury trial in mayor’s '4k sat la a novel feature and this ad. ded to the interest o f spectators. The areused was Robert Tneker, who waa charged with being intaxi cated while driving. The arrest waa made hy Chief Wrn. Marshall some days previous. Tucker is said to have emerged from the. Xenia Ave, beer parlor and walked to his auto. The Officer and others stated., he was not fit to drive a car,^Witnesses for the defense said(hehad been drinking beer before going to his automobile, some three or four glasses but that defend­ ant was not intoxicated. , The jury was composed o f three men and three women as follows: ,W. W. Galloway, Wm. Conley, Prof. C. W. Steele, Mrs. J, M. Auld, Mrs. Ira Vayhinger and Mrs. S. C. Wright.

He made his regular rounds to many business places where he received a kindly pat and a tasty canine morsel. Townspeople always had a hard- time to figure out'’his breed. He had the stubby legs and feet o f a beagle, the. head o f a terrior and the some­ what stubby ears o f a hound. The lit­ tle black and white quadruped took no stock in the “ super race*'' and found a wide place in the affections o f the neighborhoods where he was .a wel­ come guest, “ Skip” had one fault. He never could figure out the difference be- between a ball and a car and he tan a fter'both on occasions. It was near the corner o f North Main and Chilli- cothe eta, and along came that c a r . , . the impact hurling him under the rear wheel getting in its deadly work. With an agonizing yelp he made for the corner service station. Once more he stuck his long black nose Up on the leg o f Prank Owens, the station own­ er, with an Unfailing affection, and fell over—dead at his feet. Today all that remained there as a.reminder o f the mongrel was a stray peanut that Bob had fed him the night be fore, Jim D. stopped down Main street at “ Grandmother Mae’s and' with a lump in his throat “ Will you write your grandchildren out at the army base on the xoast that our pardner’a g on e ?" Georgeand Bill buried the pet in a town plot set aside fo r pets, while another as he watched, was still try ing to figure out how to tell a boy and his mother away at camp Jmt “ Skip” , would no longer bounce iter the grounds, his white curved tail wagging, straight up—all the while.

The fire started alongside the road and spread Into a dry pasture with a wind that carried the fire towards the house and bam. About ten acres o f the pasture burned before a bucket brigade could check the fire. The Sheriffs office loaded several four- gallon hand pump extinguishers and with five trusties made possible the saving o f the house Mid barn. The fir# was within a tew. feet o f the ham when extinguished. The fire was no doubt caused by a 'cigarette thrown from a passing automobile. Fanners must be bn the lookout these dry days and #ome on# should be at home each hour o f the day or night to give warning in case a flr# start# even alongside the toad.

It usually 'effects pal­ let flocks about to start egg laying or those just beginning production. It ia known -as “ pullet disease” , ’’green wheat disease” , or ‘blue comb disease’. The disease is probably caused by a virus and appears during hot weath er, usually a t the time new wheat is first- fed - Diseased birds loose appe­ tites and show distaste for grains, their combs darken, and droppings are yellow and frothy. The treatment for the flock is one pint o f molasses per gallon o f drink­ ing water with no other water avail­ able. A wet mash made from 50 part ground oats, 60 parts bran, 10 parts molasses or dry whey, and five parts water shbuld be placed before the flock three hours a day during the week following the flushing. ■L» CLIPPING WILL KILL . SWEET CLOVER— Alfalfa, red clever and sweet clov­ er respond differently to clipping the yesr in whieh they sre Deeded. Sweet clover should not be clipped at all, and red clover and alfalfa should not be clipped after September 1. Clip ping legumes has no valu4*cxccpt in weed control and frrremoving stubble o f a small grain crop. Alfalfa and red clover can be clipped safely in July and August, LEAF SPOTS ATTACK TOMATOES Two diseases caused by fungi began damaging tomatoes during the recent dry-hot period. The early blight is caused by the same fungus which produces early blight o f potatoes. It attacks the lower leaves first and causes progressive defoliation as the plants grow. Spots caused by this blight are dark brown and are usually enclosed by .concentric rings and the disease produces stem cankers. Leaf spot- o f tomatoes is charac­ terised by *small, roughly circular spots Which appear water soaked a t first and then become gray with dark­ er margins. Both diseases may be controlled by using fixed copper sprays or dusts. Applications shoulc be made now and repeated every 10 14 days, or oftener If rains remove the material. *MISS FRANCES WILLIAMSON Supt. R.

Uncle Sam purchased 22 per cent or more than one fifth o f the egg pro­ duction so far this year. Several mil- million cases o f eggs spoiled tor hu­ man consumption and had to be sold for animal feed. Like the production o f hogs, the government by New Deal direction encourages over production o f meat, eggs and butter to keep down the cost o f living and thus make good Roose­ velt campaign promises to the CIO for a lower cost o f living at the ex­ pense o f the farmer while the union strikes for; higher, wages and shorter hours. The farmer is urged to work harder and longer hours to be patri­ otic. The New Deal gave as the excuse fo r spoiled eggs that the people in liberated European countries did nob like eggs, and - so with many o f the prisoners. They probably prefer ice cream, pie or cake with wine such as can be found in the White House cel­ lar. Meantime our boys in the fox and mud holes all over the >world drink unpalatable water, forced to eat dried egg powder and oleo with their Ar­ gentine “ hoof and mouth meat,” become exhausted, the government encouraged considerable liquidation ip the hog population last spring and summer. It allowed prices to drop to levelswhich, in the case o f Tjjany far. mere, were insufficient to keep them in the business, Now that a new •toed production season iB at hand, the government may soon bo in position to establish policies which would assure hog rais­ ers somewhat better prices. Whether such policies will be put into effect w ill depend largely on the weather conditions in the midwestern corn belt during the next two weeks. I f feed production .prospects look good," the government may announce within a few weeks, that a change in reduction in the support' price o f hogs. Designated weights now carry a sup­ port price o f 810.75 per hundred, Chi­ cago basis. That price .is due to drop to 812.50 on October 1. _ Any increase in the prospective support price could be expected to en­ courage farmers to breed more sows, next winter and spring. Any change either in weights o r price will be looked upon by all farm­ ers with suspicion following th# ex­ perience last year when most farm­ ers failed to get a profit, and many suffered a loss, due to reductions pf both base price and also limitations o f weights. 1000BloodDoners Now Registered Greene county has been assured o f its quota fo r the next visit o f the Red Cross blood donor unit Aug. 15-19 as the 1,000 volunteers have registered as donors.
