be some person responsible for their

I'm in favor of that proposed road

There is some great country back
there and besides the advantages to be

CANNED TOMATOES
AND POTATO CONTEST

Saturday, Nov. 13, there was an ex-
hibition of potatoes and canned toma-
toes in the Garfield school building in
Medina.
Each potato exhibit consisted of a
half bushel basket selected from the
crop grown on 3.2 of an acre of soil.
These potatoes were grown by school
boys between 10 and 18 years of age.
Each boys potato patch was divided
into three equal parts. One of these
had no fertilizer applied. Another
part had acid phosphate and potash.
The third portion had acid phosphate,
potash and sulphate of ammonia.
All the fertilizer was furnished by
the American Coal Products Co., and
$50 in cash prizes was offered for the
best half bushel of potatoes. This
money was divided as follows:
First, second and third prizes of $5,
SO, and 81, in Brunswick township.
First, second and third prizes of $5,
So, and So in the rest of the county and
sweepstakes prizes of SIS, So, and So
for the whole county.
The prize winners were as follows:
Brunswick township, 1st, Ivan Lytle,
SIS; End, VIM. Cumberworth, SO; 3rd,
Fred Lange, So. The other 16 town
ships in the county, 1st, Warren Chris
man, Sharon township, S.; End, Rich
ard Reuter-, Liverpool township, So;
3rd, Sidney Lance, York township, So.
Sweepstakes, 1st, Ivan Lytle, Bruns-
wick township, SIS; End, VIM. Cumber-
worth, Brunswick township, SO; 3rd,
Warren Chrisman, Sharon township,
So.
There were IA boys from Brunswick
township entered in the contest and
10 from the rest of the county. Of
this number II finished and reported.
The average yields for the II tests
was as follows: No fertilizer, 65 bu-
shells per acre; acid phosphate and pot
ash, SO bushels per acre; acid phos-
phate and sulphate of ammonia, 90
bushels per acre. These yields are
low for good year, but are very
creditable to the boys when we consid-
er the fact that late blight stopped all
growth just when the tubers were
growing nicely.
The girls in the tomato contest each
grew tomatoes on piece Of ground
two rods square. This was divided
into two equal parts, one of which re-
ceived no fertilizer and the other re-
ceived sulphate of ammonia. There
were 9 girls in the county who entered
this contest and finished. The prizes
for this work were 81, $5, So, and So.
Each girl was to exhibit 3 cans of to-
matoes which she had grown and put
up. The following girls won the priz-
IS: 1st, Clara Heiss, Medina township,
81; End, Lillian Christian, Brunswick
township, SIS; 3rd, Bertha Heiss, Me-
dina township, So; 4th, Dorothy Hoff,
York township, So.
After judging the potatoes, Mr.. D.
c. Babcock from the Experiment Sta
tion at Wooster gave a very interest
ing and helpful talk on Diseases Of the
Potato and How to Combat Them.

SCHOOL NOTES

Leroy ScnOOlS nelQ Cnelr nrSC COm-
munity meeting and reception on Fri
day night, Nov. 12, at the main school
building. A large crowd, estimated
at least 400, filled all the rooms and
viewed the school work displayed by
the various grades. Neighbors met
neighbors and shook hands and swap
ped experiences while viewing the
work of their children. Laughter and
good cheer filled the whole building
and a general atmosphere Of good fell
Ilowship was everywhere present.
After the exhibits had been viewed
and commented on sufficiently the
crowd assembled in the high school
auditorium and listened to the brief
addresses by Supt. r. F. Howe, Mr..
Haines and County Superintendent G.
E. jerks, after which H. U. Simmer
macher, instructor in science at Le-
roy, gave an excellent paper on the
question of how the schools of Leroy
might be made more valuable in a
practical way to the whole community.
He suggested that the school was
ready at any time to test milk, give
information as to feeding of stock,
spraying of fruits, potatoes, etc., test
ing Of fertilizers and work of like
nature. He also called meeting of
farmers and their wives for Thursday,
Nov. 18, to organize a farmers i'm
provement association to take up the
discussion Of various community prob
lens.
The audience was next entertained
by Mr.. John Rees, who explained a
series of film picturing scenes in Mex
leo. Pictures were thrown upon a
large screen by the fine new lantern
recently purchased by the board Of ed
ucation for the use of the schools. We
are certain that the audience learned
more about Mexico from these pic
lures, accompanied by Mr.. Rees' lee
ture, than they would have learned
from reading many volumes about the
wonderful resources of the great re-
public of Mexico.
Mr.. Rees took occasion to explain to
the audience the various uses to which
the lantern is put in the daily work
of the pupils. The machine is so ar
ranged that ordinary post cards and
colored photographs can be thrown up
valuable aid in the study of geography
on the screen almost as well as the reg
ular films. Thus the lantern is an in
literature, physiology, agriculture, his
tory, in fact, in almost every subject.
The display of the domestic science
and Of the manual training depart
ments were Of especial interest. The
Wooster experiment station had also
furnished a fine display of rs varieties
Of apples properly labeled.
The whole entertainment reflected
great credit upon Supt. Howe and his
fine corps of teachers and also splend-
idly exhibited the educational senti-
ment of the whole township.

ference with the President next week.
The navy's s500o,o00 fye-year building
program already has been approved by
both House and Senate leaders.
The importance attached to Repre-
sentative Hays announcement was in
dictated by the fact that soon after it
was made Secretary Garrison broke
the silence he had maintained as to
army plans ever since he received
President Wilson's letter directing him
TO have prepared a comprehensive re-
view of the nations military needs
and recommendation for strengthen
ing the national defense. Mr. Garri-
san issued this statement:
