FairHasProfit OfOver$5000 ForPast Year A financial report showing that the 109th annual Greene county fair netted about §5,687 last sum­ mer was submitted and approved by the directorate o f the Greene County Agriculture society in its annual reorganization meeting at the court house Saturday. B. U. Bell, Xenia, treasurer, who gave the report, explained that some o f that profit, how­ ever, was turned back into new and permanent improvements contracted fo r before the 1948 exposition, leaving a cash bal­ ance at present o f only §3,452.80. All officers of the society .were re-elected for new terms: B. K. Haines, Caesarcreek township, president. J. Weir Cooper. Xenia, vice president; Mr. Bell, trea­ surer; and Mrs. J, Robert Bry­ son, near Xenia, secretary. The . secretary is not a director. In breaking down the financial report, Mr. Bell cited the expendi­ ture of §16,579.24 for new im­ provements as wiping out the cash balance of §14,344.24 exist­ ing at the start o f the year and cutting into profits o f the 1948 exposition. These improvements included a §15,500 horse barn and a water line to the cattle barn. In addition to the cash balance of §3,452.80, though, the society has U. S. government bonds worth §5,000 to make the total assets §8,452.80. Principal income at the 1948 fair, the report shows, came from gate admissions — §12,715 — and grandstand admissions §3,715. Franklin Boots o f New Jasper township was officially seated as a .member o f the society’s di­ rectorate. He succeeded W. C. St. John, retired, who represent­ ed New Jasper 26 years.

R. 4, Xe­ nia, Ohio, believes in leaving the electric" light burn all night in her poultry house because it In­ crease egg production. She has a* small flock o f about 50 White Rock hens. She stated that this winter, with the use of a_ 25 watt electric light at night, *she gets about 30 eggs per day from her* 50 hens. Last winter, without night lighting, this same flock produced only about 20 eggs per day. Besides " night lighting, Mrs. I-Iarner has an electric water war­ mer in her poultry house to keep the chickens’ drinking water from freezing. According to I. P. Blauser of Ohio State University, artificial lights from about September to April, do materially increase egg production. Mr. Blauser added that formerly it was generally •believed that the increase in egg production was due~"to greater feed consumption, but later ex­ periments indicate that- the sti­ mulating effect o f the light may be more important than the in­ creased consumption of feed. University experts recommend the use of a 40 watt electric light for every 200 square feet of floor space. Automatic time switches to turn poultry house lights on and o ff in the morning and eve ning are recommedned where a large number of lights are used. For small family sized farm flocks where only one or two low wattage lights are used, they are usually left on all night. ’ Church Services CHURCH OF GOD Elwood C.

Yet it never grows old, ’tis ever new ' As we hear each enchanting line. How the angels appeared to the Shepherd’:] .As they.watched their flock by night, And the glory o f the Lord shone’ round them Til they almost fled in fright. But the angel said, “Fear not, ' for J bring you Good tidings of great joy. For this day is born a Savior. .He’s just a tiny baby boy.” And it came to pass when the angels were gone, The shepherds started upon *their way. To the little town of Bethlehem. To see this babe — a King today. The wise men followed the star in the East, - - Which went before them all the way, Til it came and stood over a place, And lo ’twas there the Christ child lay. Wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger, * Because there was no room in the inn. In a lowly stable lay mother and j babe, With straw for a bed and where cojd crept in. ~ They fell down and worshipped this baby King; ’ * And presented iheir gifts to • Him. And departed in joy, praising God, For the wonderfull truth he’d^ revealed to them. The Heavenly Hosts are still . praising God, Saying, “ Peace on earth good will tojnen ,” And, “ Glory to God in the high- * est.’ ” - . Just as that day in Bethleh|m. Leola Com * IN ZANESVILLE Mrs. Florence Wright left Friday to spend Christmas with her son family’ in Zanesville. >' Jackets Split WithKentucky Cage‘Fives’ .Cedarvilie College journeyed to Georgetown, Kentucky last Thursday and defeated a highly rated Georgetown College team 58-46. With Don Barger, Gene Blosser, and John Townsley all hitting in double figures the Yel­ low Jackets looked very impress­ ive *in their fourth win o f the season. The Cedarvilie team used a fast break offense and held a 23 to 9 half time lead. George­ town catne within four points of tying the score midway in the second half but were never able to overcome the Yellow Jackets lead. High point ras'd fo r the Jackets was Blosser with 19 while Pennington for the losers had 14. Gedarville returned home and played host to a formidable Ken­ tucky Wesleyn five, Dec. 17 and the tables were turned Wesleyn took the lead early in the first half and with Farice Woods hit­ ting effectively from out- front.. They jumped to a 3-1 to 23 lead ■at the half. Coming back strong after the intermission the Pan­ thers built a lead up to 46 to 26 and then Cedarvilie started to move. Employing a man to man defense the Jackets gained rapidly and when Barger and Blateric dropped a pair o f field­ ers apiece they whittled the lead to 45-34, Gene Blosser hit from the field, and then Woods finally broke loose for a fielder. It was nip and tuck right up to the gun. When Cedarvilie missed on a quick-jump play and the gun sounded ending the game. Filial score Wesleyan 66, Cedarvilie 65.
