CHAUTAUQUA'S
BIG feature

comparison with the estimated produc-
tion of last month. From returns re-
ceived from 1853 official correspondents
of this Department, we now estimate
that for the present harvest there re-
mains l,6s2,s7l and this should pro-
duce an average of IA bushels per acre,
or 23,476, 1872 bushels for the State as
whole. The estimated production Of
wheat from the harvest of 1909 was
27,355, l42 bushels, an average produc-
tion of 10 bushels per acre. The dam
age to the crop by joint worm Is not as
serious as earlier predicted, being es-
timated at but per cent for the State.
In some counties the damaRee is quite
serious, but in a majority of the coun-
ties IL is of no consequence. The har-
vest will soon be in full blast, when the
quality of the crop can be definitely
determined.
Theprospeet for oats is now estimated
at l04 per cent, based upon a standard
of1O0 per cent representing production
Of 30 bushels per acre. From present
prospect, the harvest should produce
approximately 48,57l ,513 bushels.
Corn has made remarkable growth
during past few weeks, and while one
month ago the outlook was very un-
promising, its present condition is
most encouraging and should weather
conditions conditions continue favor
able the harvest should be most bOun-
tiful. The estimated area planted to
corn is 3,006,t1 acres, being 80 per
cent of the area of 1909, as returned by
township assessors and an increase of
1870, ,301 sacres in comparison with the
estimated area reported at this time
last year. It's present growing condi-
ton is estimated at s3 per cent COM
pared with an average. The damage
by cut worms is estimated at per cent,

The area planted to potatoes is esti-
mated at % per cent in comparison

WANT RENEWAL
Of FRANCHISE
Some Objections From Property
Owners Likely to BE Met by
b. G. @. Promoters.

A. J. Briggs and l.. G. Justus, OF
Geneva, Ind, stock holders of the Bluff
ton Geneva traction line, were in this
city last Monday in the interest of the
extension of their road from Geneva to
this city. They were accompanied by
a bridge contractor from Toledo, who
was with them to figure on the cost of
the construction of the necessary
bridges along the route.
The gentlemen, while here, stated the
road would likely be built part of the
way this fall. The route determined
upon by the company after their sur
veys were run several week ago.
brings the line to this city by way of
New Corydon, Ind, Skeels X Roads
and Durbin, coming into this city, as
originally planned, over Market street
and connecting with the lines of the
Western Ohio. This route they stated
was taken in preference to the one by
way of Wabash because of the construc-
ton bridges, only about half the num-
ber being required.
While here they conferred with their
attorney, J. w. Loree, and he has taken
up the matter ofextendinR the franchise
granted to this company two years ago
and which soon expires. Clerk Wint-
ers yesterday furnished copy of the
franchise to Mr.. Loree which will be
presented at one of the meetings of
council in the near future for renewal.
There is some doubt, however, whether
this will be given unless the company
can show that they expect to do busi-
ness, and even then there is a doubt
whether it can be renewed over the old
route, as many of the West Market
street residents are up against it coming
in this street

CHAUTAUQUA
FAMILY TICKETS

A real family ticket will be issued
by the Celina Chautauqua this season
at So, admitting parents and all chill
dren eighteen years old and under.
This gives the children a better
chance than they have ever had before,
as this year the number of children is
not limited as in former years to a to-
tai of three admitted on a family
ticket.
Family tickets will admit all child
rem eighteen years old and yo unger.
The family tickets will not be sold
after the Chautauqua begins, however,
and to take advantage of this offer
tickets must be bought before July %,
as after that date the extra work in
adjusting matters relating TO family
tickets will be impossible, as each
member of the family gets a separate
ticket and must sign his individual
ticket. Bear in mind that family
tickets will not be on sale after July
23. Better get them right now.

Water Pageant Has EN- Going

A number ofthe Chautauqua campers
began to camp this week. 1t not gem
orally known the Chautauqua manage
ment will make no extra charge of the
tents for an extra time If any desire to
move onto the grounds at once.
1t grows apparent that the water
pageant is going to be one of the big
features of the Chautauqua.
score of entries have already been
made for the night illuminated pageant
and a good deal of interest is being
taken in the swimming and boat races.
This is the first time that any thing
of the sort has been attempted and this
feature will be widely advertised and
beyond question will prove great
drawing card in this whole section of
the country.
Patrons of the Chautauqua should
note that family tickets will be sold
admitting parents and all children
eighteen years old and younger for $5,
but no tickets will be sold after the
Chautauqua opens.

[Findlav Republican, July LII

Coming up from behind, Celins over
came a lead of five and with better and
more timely clouting took the Sunday
battle from the Morescots at the Driving
Park, by the score of Z to 5.
A misplay by McKirnan, the visitors
shortstop, who allowed a speedy ground
or to get by him in the first, gave the
locals two runs and they counted again
before the inning wasaover. A second
error by McKirnan In the second frame,
coupled with a single and double,
handed the Morescots another pair.
Celina then settled to the job and kept
the natives at a respectable distance
from the platter while they were COB

Kelly Brand, at second for the More
scots, did the sensational feat of the ex-
hibition, stabbing McComb's liner with
one hand, in the third, in running
jump. Brand won a warm hand for
the feature and likewise a cold one a
few minutes later when he dropped an
infeld fly. Kistler, of the Mercer
county outfit, furnished the other thrill
er of the afternoon, pretty catch of
Piert's long fly in the second.
After the first two frames Celina de-
livered the goods in big league fashion
and their sticking equaled that of any
team seen on the local lot, this year.
Ten hits, including couple of doubles,
were damned out off Banners shoots
and they were nicely punched for tallies.
Meanwhile Myers boxman for Celina,
with steady help by Ellis and Betz on
the intield was moving down the More
costs without much trouble.
Celina counted first in the second
inning on Betz's single, followed by

anan. In the fourth three consecutive

AUTOMOBILE
RACES ARE
CALLED OFF
Distressing Accident at Portland
Causes Banner Fair Board
TO Take Action.
Ban Also Placed on Auto Hacks
That Women and Children
BE Better Protected.

Parties are daily asking for licenses
to run auto hacks at the Banner Fair,
and after careful consideration by the
Fair Board and the Mayor Of Celina il
was decided TO issue no license for
hacks.
A large per cent Of the attendance Of
tho fair is made up of women and chill
dren who drive from every corner Of
the county. We desire 10 give them
every protection. The usual reckl less
ness in driving of cars makes this step
necessary.
Portland Horror Changes Plan
Since the deplorable accident that
occurred at Portland, Ind, on the 9Th
during the auto races, the Board has
been asked by numbers of citizens 10
declare the auto races Oft that have
been advertised for the Fair. This has
been done. Had that accident been on
our track during the Fair IL would
have killed a score Of people.
We cannot afford to place the lives
of our patrons in danger, but desire TO
do all in our power for their comfort
and convenience.
No Other Change in Big Program
Our list Of attractions will be better
than ever before. The air-ship and the
Wooster Experiment Station exhibit
should not be missed by any citizen OF
our county.
You get your moneys worth at the
Banner Fair. If you attend the races
at Lima or any other place you pay 80
cents each admittance. Who would
not pay twenty-five cents for the priv
ilege of seeing one OF the worlds IA
nous air ships?
What farmer would not pay 25 cents
for the information he receives by
spending a day with the Wooster ex-
pertinent exhibit?
Cut the above out and we still have
as many attractions as you could find
at the average fair for which you pay
25 cents. What we offer you would,
at any other place, cost you Sl.25 each
admission.
Something TO Remember
We furnish you all this at the Ban
ner Fair, besides give you the chance
to meet old friends and enjoy life for
one week. Single admission % cents;
or family ticket that will admit heads
of families for 81 during the fair Fig
ure this out and see what it costs you
fifty cents for four days-twelve and
cents per day.
You can leave the grounds twice each
day provided you get your ticket
punched ON LEAVING the grounds.
This makes each admission cost you
four cents. But rememb Der, if you
leave the grounds on a family ticket
and desire to return the same day, you
must have it punched by gate keeper.
Don't forget this; no excuse will go.
