LONG FIGHT AGAINST HOOP AND
MOUTH DISEASE ENDS

Secretary of Agriculture Huston
has announced that the long fight
against the foot and mouth disease in
cattle and hogs is over and accompan-
ing this announcement is an order
removing all guarantees and restric-
tions against the shipment and move
ment of live stock. A small area in
Christian county, Illinois, was the
last section under suspicion. Deal
ers may now ship cattle as before the
first quarantine was imposed For
eign governments which placed en-
bargoes on American cattle are ex-
pected to remove them now. The di-
sease had gained foothold in twenty
two states and two hundred and six
" nine different counties.

BALL SEASON
OF Local Team Will Open With
Game at st. Marys May 7
Dates of other Games.

At regular meeting of the Celina
Base Ball Club it was unanimously
agreed not to join the proposed Troll
ley League, therefore this season Ce-
lima will have Independent base ball,
and the fans will be sure of a good
| first-Class team.
The players are not asking for any
special donations, but intend to con
duct the affairs of the team themsel-
yes, and will book games with the
very best Independent and semi-pro
teams only.
Celnia team has been given full
charge of the Mercelina Base Ball
Park, and all games at home will be
played there The former base ball
corporation that had charge of the
team last year have donated the uni
forms and other base ball parapher-
MALTA to the boys, and all the players
are certainly thankful for this dona
ton, as it will save considerable eX-
pense.
The opening game of the season
will be Sunday, May 7, at St. Marys,
and the management of the Celina
base ball team will put forth every
effort to win the opening game, for
if there is any team Celina desires to
win from it is st. Marys. The rivals
of Celina this year will be st. Marys, !
Wapakoneta and Coldwater. Each
of these towns will have strong
team. The old Wapakoneta Reds |
will be in the field again this year un-
der the management of John Meyr, |
while Coldwater will be managed by |
Cyril Maniar, Coldwater's famous !
basket ball player, who helped win |
the majority of the games for Celina
the past season. Frenchy Maniar |
says that what he will do to the Ce-
lima boys when they play at Coldwa-
ter, May 21st will be a plenty. He
has gathered together one of the
fastest semi-pro teams in this part of
Ohio, and says that he would rather
beat Celnia at Coldwater than win
from the Boston Red Socks, Worlds
Champions. There will be some
game at Coldwater, Sunday May 21st.
Remember these dates: May 28th,
st. Marys at Celina. June 4th, Wa
pakoneta at Celina; June 18th, Cold
water at Celina.
The Celina Base Ball Club asks
The Celina fans to give them loyal
support this year, and they will en-
leavor to give Celina the best base
oall that is within their power The
players are to report for practice at
he Mercelina Park, Sunday, April
18th.

IS GRAIN DEALERS At
BIG MEETING AT LIMA
Lima Republican-Gazettel

Endorsement of House Bill 1O4O5
to come up in the house of represen-
tatiyes next Wednesday providing for
the uniform grading of grain, pre-
Vention of deception in transactions
Of grain and regulation of the traffic
therein was made today by the North
western Ohio Grain Dealers associa-
ton in session at the Lima House
j. r. Custenborder, Of Sidney brought
the bill up before the convention and
was one Of the leaders in the move
ment for its endorsement.
A petition was received from grain
dealers in Mercer, Shelby, Logan, Au-
glaize, Champaign and Miami coun-
ties requesting that every dealer in
the district do away with the prac-
tice of loaning grain sacks to the
farmers for hauling grain. The deal
ers north of Lima have already
adopted the policy and ii is thought
likely that those in the southern part
of the territory will also fall in line.
Nearly 70 grain dealers were pre-
sent for the conference which began
this morning and wound up this af-
ternoon with general discussion Of
numerous topics upon a program pre-
arranged by Secretary r. p. Riddle,
of the association.
Plans We're made for the dealers in
each county to hold banquet in the
near future at which each dealer
should invite five Of his leading pa
irons. Other matters to come up
was a discussion of market quota
tions and the introduction of reso-
luton that the state should class
grain elevator as a public utility and
making the business of conducting
an elevator subject to the rules of the
Public Utilities commission.

town, Ohio:
The owner of Federal street
frontage makes money every time

value now.
Similar advertisements have ap-
peared In other cities. The real es-

point out the logical conclusion or
Facts they have made clear.
IT the mere fact of a child born in
Youngstown, or stranger moving
into town, enriches the landowner,
then the landowner gets something
that others have produced. These
Increasing land values should 90 in

That is not new proposition.

hat these values should 20 to the
