HIGH School
To Play MiIlersburg Saturday
And ChiIIiCOthe On
Thanksgiving Day

Next Saturday the High school
football team will meet Millersburg
high on the field at Riverside. 1t will
be remembered that last year the To-
Gals held Millersburg to the score of
IA to 25 on the same field in the first
home game of the season. One won
ders what might have been the result
had the first game last year been
with North high as it was this year.
The team is playing a splendid ar
ticle of ball this season and the re-
suits of the game are eagerly looked
forward to by the high school follow
ers.
This will be the last game before
the Thanksgiving one when the locals
tackle Chillicothe. Mr.. Christman,
last years popular little basketball
coach, has been whipping up a team
that so far has not had its goal
crossed this year. This is not sur
prising when one recalls great work
done by him with the basketball team
here. 1t certainly should prove a
pretty spectacle to see the two teams
clash on Thanksgiving afternoon.
The prevailing opinion seems to indi-
cate tie game or victory for one or
the other by very small margin.

Marking Of Sheep.

Means prevailing at present for
marking sheep for the purpose of iden-
LITIGATION is unsatisfactory for the rea-
son that the coal tar or pitch solu-
ton which is made use of has a seri-
Gus effect on the wool, not only where
the mark has been made on the hair
but all that which is being put through
the cleansing process at that time.
Such wool brings a decreased price.
The National Society of Agriculture
Of France has been Investigating the
matter, and the report of those APP
pointed to do the work contains the
following: 1t has been proposed to use
aniline colors, but this is even worse,
since the colors do not merely soil
the fleece, but actually dye it. Other
means are not lacking, notably that
of tattooing the ear Of the sheep. Also,
q small metallic plate can be fastened
in the ear, as is done with African
sheep to prove that they have been
"clavelized," |. e., inoculated with the
special serum which combats their
dangerous eruptive malady, rot or
scab. The syndical chamber of COM
merce and industry advises the en-
ployment of a color composed Of lin
seed oil, essence Of %turpentine and
Prussion blue or similar color. 1t rec
ommends marking on nose, forehead
or nape Of neck.
