Elmer Lynch, Charged with Petty
Thieving, Makes Successful
Get-a-Way-StiII at Large.

Wrenching his arm loose from the
grasp Of Officer Leiniuger, Elmer Lynch,
while being taken to Jail Wednesday
morning, made a dash for liberty and
succeeded in eluding the officers. He is
still at large.
Lynch, with Charles Mann, both resi-
dents of the Lake View addition, were
arrested by Officer Leininger early We'd
nesday on an affidavit filed by William
Smith, and charging them with stealing
millet from his farm, east Of town. It
is alleged that they had been stealing the
millet from a field next the reservoir.
The grain was sacked and carried to the
lake, where it was loaded into row boats
and hauled to this city.
Both men plead guilty in Justice
Meyers court when arraigned Wednes-
day morning and were each sentenced to
80 days in Jail.
Officer Leininger had started to jail
with the couple, when as they reached
Market street, Lynch, who is'a powerful
fellow, broke away from the officer and
took to his heels. As he turned south
in the alley east of Main Leininger took
a shot at him, buthe kept agoing. Lem
niger hurriedly turned Mann over to
Marshal Pumphrey and started in pur-
suit of the fleeing prisoner, who had got
a good lead. Leininger again fired as
Lynch darted around the alley at the
rear of Cron's buggy factory, but failed
to bring down his man, who at this point
disappeared and has not as yet been ap-
pretended.

MAKE THE OLD
FARM PAY
Experiment Station Exhibit at the
Coming Banner Fair 10 Help
Show the Way.

There are many abandoned farms in
Ohio today. In Europe the old land is
best, because 1t has been improved. In
America old land is poorest, because il
has been impoverished exploited, ex
hausted. The land was given to
man to be used. Fertility has been
stored up in the soil by nature for the
production of plants. We should aim to
get the maximum crop and at the same
time, maintain the fertility Of the soil,
The work of the Experiment Station on
maintenance of fertility is Of great value
to the farmers of the state.
Continuous culture of any crop on the
same land has a tendency to impoverish
the soil. In order to improve the soil,
a systematic rotation of crops should be
followed. The soil also needs a rest and
also needs to be fed a balanced rota-
ton -
We may be growing the wrong variety.
This is especially true of corn. A var
iety which is we'll adapted to Southern
Ohio conditions would not be suitable
for Northern Ohio. A thorough study
Of varieties is important The Ohio Ex-
pertinent station has been studying var
ieties, rotations, time and rate of seed
ings ect., for more than a quarter of a
century. The results of these expert
ments may be seen at the Experiment
Station tent at the County Fair.

SUCCEEDS
EIFERT ON B.S.E.

Probate Judge Raudabaugh last Tues
day appointed Prof. II. ]. Bernard, of St.
Henry, as a member of the County Board
of School Examiners to succeed Prof A
c. Eifert, of St. John, whose second term
on the board expires this month.
Prof. Bernard is one of the most popu-
lar young educators of the county, and
one of the most efficient and enthusiast
in school work to be found in the State,
and holds a life certificate. He has been
superintendent of the ST. Henry schools
for the past seven years, and had the
honor of bringing the schools OF that
village into the first division. He is not
only an excellent educator, but he is
Democrat, politically and in the broader
sense of the term. Judge Raudabaugh
could have searched long to have found
a better equipped man for the place.
Prof. Eifert, the retiring member and
President of the board, has served faith
fully and we'll, and the teachers of the
county will regret to learn of his retire
ment, but they will be glad to know his
successor is well equipped to take up the
work he has laid down.
The other members of the board are
Profs. S. Cotterman, of Rockford, and
J. w. Pogue of this city.

made emphatic denial of a story pub
lished in a Columbus paper last Sunday
that he had attempted to prevent mem
