MT. VERNON
Defeated Utica By A Score
Of 13 To 0
In An Interesting Game
Wednesday Afternoon

Utica, Oct. 15-Picking up tumble
and understanding the entire Utica team
in a 40-yard dash for the goal, East
man cinched the football game for Mt
Vernon high here yesterday afternoon
in the third quarter of play. Clayton
made the game doubly sure for Mt
Vernon, when, in the last quarter, he
intercepted a forward pass and ran
seventy yards for touchdown. Sew
erns kicked goal making the final
score 1S to against Utica high
school.
A large crowd of rooters was
on hand to cheer their hitherto unde-
feated team along and the first half
was productive of no scoring by either
team. Mt. Vernon had shade the
best Of Utica, but the defense Of both
was keyed up to the limit.
Coach Hagaman of Mt. Vernon used
new lineup, Severns and Bonds
playing half-back positions and Hec-
tor Jones occupying the place Of full
back. Yesterdays game was Severns'
first experience in the back-field and
he showed up excellently, both in Of
fense and defense. This shift in line
up put Captain Clayton back on his
old position at end, where he has
starred for the past two years.
Utica maos but three first-downs in
the entire game, while Mt. Vernon fire.
quently gained the necessary ten
yards. At that, the game looked like
90 until Eastman's play. The Utica
half-back had received the ball for a
forward pass and was on the point Of
throwing 1t, when the slippery pig
skin glided from his hand. Eastman
was right on the job, grabbed it up
and started chase for the Utica goal,
with Utica's fieetest runners endeavor-
ing to catch him. No goal was kicked.
This first scoring put new life into
the Mt. Vernon boys and Utica could
not find single spot, where her half
DackS could penetrate. II was only
question of holding and Mt. Vernon
seemed capable Of doing this. In the
final quarter, Utica again essayed q
forward pass. The man on the receiv-
ing end touched the ball, but Clayton
grabbed it and made the 70-yard run
referred to before. This was the last
scoring of the game.
Mt. Vernon naturally feels much
encouraged over the victory, furnish
ing, as it does, stimulus for good play
in the contest with Newark Saturday.
Utica defeated Newark IA to 0, so the
Mt. Vernon boys are hoping to win an
even more decisive victory.

present report The quality Of the
wheat is estimated at 9S per cent com
pared with an average. The cores.
pondents estimate that 13 per cent OF
the 1913 wheat crop still remains in
producers hands. The present esti-
mated production is approximately
one-and-a-half millions more than the
estimated production OF 1913. The
average production per acre is enc
bushel more than last year. Before
Ohio can hope to produce wheat har.
vest of 100000 bushels 1t will be
necessary. to very materially increase
the acreage
While the oats acreage was some-
what less than last year, the average
production per acre exceeds the 1913
yield by two bushels, and the total es.
timated production is less than $4,000
bushels short Of the crop of 1913. This
is the smallest oats production In
number of years. The quality of the
crop is estimated at 81 per cent, com.
/ POI Du III OH dNtidSt.
Barley production is estimated at
250,00O bushels short Of the yield Of
last year. The average production per
acre exceeds that of 1913 but the acre.
age was so short that the total produce
tion shows this decrease. The quality
Of the present. crop is estimated at 80
! per cent, compared with an average.
The rye area harvested was estimat.
ed at 1929 acres. The average pro-
duction per acre was IS bushels, givs
ing total production for the state Of
1885, ,167 bushels. This is about 81, 900
bushels short of the estimated produc-
ton of 1913. The quality of the crop
Is estimated at 81 per cent, compared
with an average.
Present corn prospect Is estimated
at 80 per cent, compared with an av-
erage. On corresponding date, last
year, the prospect was estimated at 81
per cent. The present acreage is esti-
mated at 1901, ,070 acres, being 96 per
cent Of the estimated acreage Of 1913.
1t is possible that the production will
equal that of last year, but it Is not
probable that it will exceed that crop.
The estimated poduction of potatoes
for 1918 was estimated at 7,157,011
bushels. The present report Shove
that the total yield for this year. com
pared with that crop, will be "a per
cent.

$4,476.69
Awarded In Knox Co. Under
Compensation Law
During Period Of Six Months,
There Being So Accidents

Some conception of what the COM
pulsory workman's compensation law
has done for the workingmen of Knox
county since 1t was placed on the stat
ute books of Ohio by the present Dem.
ocratic administration can be formed
from the records of the Ohio industrial
commission. The board of awards,
during the first six months of this
year, the period ending June 80, 1914,
allowed total of S3 accident claims
which had been presented by working
men and their families in this county
and on the basis of those claims al
lowed awards aggrogating the sum Of
$4,476.69. This sum was distributed
among wage earners who had had the
misfortune to suffer injuries while en-
gagged in their daily occupation and
they we're not required to wait until
their claims had been fought for sever.
al years in the different courts of the
state. The state Of Ohio paid them
their compensation and paid for their
medical attention and paid their hos
pital expenses at time when the as
sistance which was due them was
most needed.
In addition to the disability claims
that were allowed, the total sum Of
$2,728.56 was disbursed in this county
for death benefits and for funeral ex-
penses in 2 cases of fatalities which
came under the provisions Of the work
mems compensation law.
How much compensation and what
amount for medical. hospital or funer-
al expenses would any Of these unfor-
tunate wage earners have received
this early after having met with the
misfortune, If they had been compelled
to take their cases into the courts, and
what proportion of their awards would
have had to be divided with the law
yers had they secured awards through
the medium of the courts and the law
yers?
Under the provisions Of the work.
mans compensation law, the state of
Ohio pays the injured workingman and
the families of wage earners who have
the misfortune to lose their lives in
their daily occupation without wait
ing for the grind of the courts and the
division with the lawyers. In view of
this fact, is it to be wondered at that
the laboring men of Ohio are support
ing Governor Cox who gave them the
protection afforded by this humane
law?

Democratic Candidate for Judge o
the Court Of Appeals

The wonderful personal popularity
of Hon. Lewis B. Houck, as was DEM
onstrated in the primaries when he
polled such an enormous vote In the
fifteen counties comprising the dis
trict, will stand him we'll in hand at
the election for Judge of the court OF
appeals at the coming election. 1t
was not only his personal popularity
that gave him such large vote, but It
was a recognition of his legal ability
and fitness for the office of Judge. 1t
is the confident expectation that Mr..
Houck will run in the same fashion at
the regular election as he did In the
primaries, which will mean his elec.
ton by an overwhelming majority. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
Mr.. Houck's name will not be printed
en- the regular Democratic ticket, but
on what is known as the non-partisan
judicial ballot, along with the names
of all candidates for Judge Of whatever
degree, that being the requirement OF
the law in the election Of all Judges
It is, therefore, incumbent upon the
friends of Mr.. Houck to hunt out his
name on the ticket when they come
! to vote and put an X mark in frcnt OF
it. That his numerous friends In
Knox county, regardless of party. will
do this, goes without the saying.
