4 FARMERS ASSOCIATION NEEDED.

We had occasion this week to
note tho necessity of q Farmers
Truck Association for this section,
whom we saw q farmer from tho
Catahoula section como to town
with as fine q lot of onion and gar
lilo Is could be raised any whore,
and offered same to tho local deal
srs aud no ono could buy his pro-
duct for tho reason that they wore
all we'll stocked.
This man after Offering his
goods at any price, had to return
to his farm with his product be-
cause be could not soil it.
The reason 10 worry simple, q
small community cannot DO ex-
pscted to consume the product of
q large farming country, tho pro-
duct has to be shipped to large
cities, and by the car load, there
fore, it 10 necessary to have al
association that certain crops be
planted at tho Same time and ga
thered at the same time in order
to make car loads to be shipped to
distant large markets.
1t 10 needless for our farmers to
raise truck unless they organize
and prepare like other localities
are doing, for tho safe and quick
shipment of their product to the
markets that need such goods.

VIM. LYNCH MAKES HIGH
DIVE WITH SERIOUS
RESULTS

William Lynch, a familiar character
about town, and well known in police
circles, suffered a bad fracture of the
skull and was almost scalped Wednesday
evening, when he alighted on his head
in attempting to get off one of the fast
west bound freights on the Lake Erie &
Western.
Lynch was burning his way from Lima,
and when the freight failed to stop here
he tried to get off at the Dickman coal
yard, just west of Main street.
The Lake Erie physician, Dr., Winter
mute, was summoned, and after an ex-
animation of the wounds ordered the
man taken to the home of his aunt, Mrs.
VIM. Norris, in the Citizens addition.
Mcdaniel & Meister's ambulance was
called and removed him. County Physi-
clan Ayers was summoned and took
charge of the case. He is getting along
as we'll as could be expected.

CLEAN THE FENCE
CORNERS

Farmers must cut the brush along the
highway on their property according to
a recent act of Legislature which went
into effect August 6. No longer will
township trustees stand the cost of the
labor but the landowner himself will
have to foot the bill. Under the old law
the road superintendent requests land
owner to cut the brush along either side
of the highway right-of-way on his prop
erty. If the land owner refuses or fails
to cut the brush men are hired to do the
work and the trustees pay for it. The
new law makes a drastic change. The
road superintendent orders the land
owner to do the work. If it is not done
in a reasonable time after the order is
issued the superintendent puts his gang
of men at work and receives the money
from the township. But the township
certihes the expense over to the county
auditor and it is charged as taxes against
the unwilling owner.

LOOKS LIKE FELIX
IS INJURED PARTY
Aged COIdwater BOOze-Fighter
Starts Rough House and
Lands I'm Jail.

Felix Gengler, of Coldwater, aged IS,
was lodged in Jail here last evening, un-
der a $500 bond, charged with assault
with intent 10 kill, preferred in Mayor
Fox's court at Coldwater by Gengler's $
daughter Catharine.
The peculiar part of the rather sensa-
tional affair is that il looks as though
Gengler was the one assaulted
It seems that Gengler arrived home
drunk yesterday and went after his
daunhter with a butcher knife, As she
ran from the house she picked up a cou-
pie OF bricks, and as her father got near
her she planted one on his drink-crazed
head, inAicting an ugly cash and knock
ing him down. He got up and again
started after her, when she repeated the
stunt. Her screams attracted a passer-
by, who came to her assistance, and with
a club put the drunken demon tempor-
arily out of businefs with another whack
on the head. He was locked up in the
county bastile here with his head tied up
in blood. stained bandages, rather sor-
rowful looking object.

The many changes in the election laws,
as i'll most other branches of legislation
in this state has caused no little amount
of confusion, not only among candidates
and voters but among election officials
as we'll.
There will be no party designation or
emblem to the township tickets, and the
candidates for each Office will be grouped
alphabetically. Tickets for township
offices and justices of the peace will be
separate from the municipal ticket.
Candidates for members of school boards
will also be on a separate ballot and will
have no party designation
For the township offices candidates de-
string place on the ballot are allowed
until within sixty days of the election to
file their petitions, which must contain
at least twenty-five voters in the town
ship. Some of these have already filed
petitions, but the time limit is September
4th
The municipal primaries this year will
be held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in September, which hap
pens to be September 2.
On and after January !, 1914, a change
is made in the dates for holding prinar-
les. For all township and municipal
offices the primaries will be held on the
second Tuesday of August i'll the odd
years, and for all county or district offices
members of congress or the general as
sembly, will be held on the second Tues
day of August in the even years.
The date for holding the presidential
primaries is also changed from May to
the last Tuesday in April, 1916, and
every fourth year thereafter.

WHAT DOES YOUR
SOIL LACKl

On Friday, August p, at 900 A. NJ,
a fertilizer meeting will be held on the
farm of VIM. Kramer, near St. Henry.
Professor NJ. A. Bachtell of the College
of Agriculture will lead the discussion.
''Fertilize the soil not the crop" is the
slogan of the soil fertility experts at the
College of Agriculture. They say it is
mistake to talk about corn fertilizer
and wheat fertilizer" Experiments
show that an application of whatever
element is lacking in the soil will in
crease the yield of all the crops grown.
The important thing, then, is for each
farmer to find out what his soil lacks.
The object of this meeting will be to find
out what the soils of this vicinity lack
most and what is the cheapest way of
this lack. Come and add your
to the discussion.

TION DISMISSED

Al a joint meeting of the Mercer and
Darke county commissioners, held in
this city last Tuesday, the petition pray
ingfor the improvement of the Mile Creek
joint ditch was dismissed.
The ditch iso the county line between
Mercer and Darke counties, and it was
necessary TO secure proper outlet to go
into Auglaize and Shelby counties. In
view of a recent court ruling on the Wa
bash ditch on which Darke county was
assessed, the Mercer and Darke county
boards deemed il advisable to dismiss the
present petition, as Auglaize and Shelby
had not been made party petitioners.
A new petition will be prepared under
the new ditch law which went into effect
last Saturday, the 9th, and filed as soon
as possible.

Under Authority Of Council, Pre-
sumabIy to See How Many Sa-

Council at their regular session last
Tuesday night passed resolution
authorizing new census for the village.
The mayor at the next regular meeting
of council on Tuesday evening, August
70, will appoint the census taker, and
work Of making the enumeration will
begin Immediately thereafter. It is
believed new census will show Celina s
population to be close to the 5, 900 mark

owner of the famous Schunck blood
hounds, as one of the deputy marshals
Of the city, for period Of one year and
same was confirmed. The Mayor in

called attention to the new law for carry
ing concealed weapons, which permits
only officers of the law to carry firearms.
Mr.. Miller said that Mr.. Schunck found
1t necessary in using his dogs to carry a
weapon, and he therefore made the
appointment, so that it would be possible
for Mr.. Schunck to comply with the law.
Mr.. Schunck will be paid no salary.

ed by the Provident Savings Bank and
Trust Co., of Cincinnati. Their bid was
rejected because they did not deposit the
$500 required by the clerk, and because,
twice before they had refused, after
several weeks time to take bonds of the
village, which had been awarded them.
Councilman Meyer spoke of complaint
that had been made to him of Western
Ohio loading and unloading freight on
Market street. The Clerk was instruct
