DELTA DETECTIVES
Brave Delta Men Defend the Pro-
perty of Their Fellow ToWnsmen-
But the Man They Practice On Con-
siders Their Methods Crude and
Their Deductions Bum.

To prevent the depredations of
burglars upon the property and pos
sibly the lives of their fellow towns
men is a commendable purpose on the
part of the men of any community
trolling their city last Wednesday
night, November 22nd, with the
lights turned down and fifteen or
twenty brave men armed with shot
guns and revolvers patroling the
streets to discover any possible de-
predators and prevent any possible
depredations were undoubtedly en-
gagged in a very commendable un-
dertaking. The men of Delta had
reason for engaging in this under
taking; suspicious looking strangers
had been seen on the streets in broad
daylight and at least one of them was
connected in the minds of some of
the citizens with a previous robbery
that had transpired in their town.
They were taking no chances, these
Delta defenders and if thorough
sleuthing could prevent a burglary
and capture the burglar or burglars
they were determined to sleuth to
the limit; hence the darkened streets
and from fifteen to twenty brave men
armed "cap a pie" lurking round
corners and in the shadows of door
ways lying in wait for the bold bad
burglars. The hours of the night
creep on apace, the only lights on the
deserted main business thoroughfare
are the dim lights from lonesome
pool room and the lights of the In
terurban Station, rain adds to the
gloom of the silent night, all is quiet
when suddenly the watchful watch
ers perceive a solitary footman COM
ing down the street,-hist! He car
ries an umbrella; what dreadful in
struments of death and destruction
might not that umbrella conceal?
Caution must be exercised. Now he
crosses the street and peers into the
windows of the lonesome pool room
and now he recrosses the street and
disappears in the shadows by the
bank where the drinking fountain is
located. The last vestige of doubt
is removed; it, is he; a burglar or
burglars spy. Three, brave and
determined men plan to capture him
at once. They call him to stop as he
energies from the shadow and moves
westward toward the Interurban sta
ton, but he heeds not the call; sure
ly it must be burglar and he is
trying to escape. Now! A shot is
fired into the air by one of the brave
men, another levels a double barrel
led shot gun at the intruder and as
he turns he looks into those awful
muzzles, now the two approach grasp
the umbrella and cast it on the pave
ment push back his hat that they get
good look at his face and search

CORN BOY CHAMPION
Dewey Hanes Wins 1916 Corn Grow
ing ChampiOnship-Cuts Down Ex-
pense of Raising CrOp-Will Travel
Over State and Tell His Methods.

Once again, Dewey Hanes, cham
the corn boy championship of the
state. The Darke county boy who
in 1912 took first prize with yield
of 1895 bushels from one acre, and
who in 1915 raised 154.7 bushels on
one acre, has outstripped his rivals
this year for the third time, with a
yield of 1875 bushels from one acre.
Last year he also gained first honors
as champion boy wheat grower with
a yield of 55 2-3 bushels per acre from
a five acre field.
A girl won second place, defeating
all the other boy farmers by securing
yield of 121 1-25 bushels of shelled
corn. She is Rhoda Bayha, of Bata-
via, Ohio. The girl champion last
year was Leelo Jones, of Morrow
county, who raised 1872 bushels of
corn. Unfavorable weather condi-
tions caused the gener3 lower yields
than last year.
Dewey did more than win the
championship this year, because he
secured the state championship and
the unusually large yield and at the
same time cut down the expenses of
raising his crop, so that he could
prove to everyone that such yields
may be made without spending much
extra time in tending the crop. With
the aid of Dir J. R. Clark in charge
of the contest, he made his methods
as practical as possible. This win
ter he is planning to again travel over
the state, speaking to farmers clubs
and Institutes, as he did last year, and
telling everyone of his methods.
The acre he selected this year was
partly rod clay and partly a dark
loan typs, that was last year in clover
and plowed under in the fall. The
ground was left exposed all winter
and in the spring three loads of ma
nure were applied and worked in by
disking. At this time six hundred
and twenty-five pounds of fertilizer
was drilled in with a wheat drill,
which was followed by the harrow
until a good seed bed was prepared,
The corn was planted May IL and
cultivated four times.
Dewey emphasizes the Importance
of humus and plant food in order to
get a good yield, and uses fertilizer
and manures literally to keep his
soils IN condition so they can produce
good crops. The added bushels pay
for the extra food many times over,
The costs of growing his acre have
not yet been announced, but as
Dewey's methods involve little more
expense than the average acre of
corn in Ohio, it is certain that every
bushel raised by the Arcanum lad has
cost much less than on most farms
Vast year, Leelo Jones, the girl win
ner, used practically the same meth
DDS, including careful preparation Of
the seed bed, good seed, plenty of ma
nure and fertilizer and good cultiva
ton. The corn boys leave for tbs
East on a trip which includes Wash
ington and New York during the frs
week in December.

DISEASE PREVENTION
Response by a Citizen to "a Move in
the Right Direction"-Tmportance
of Conserving Health of our Chill
dren-Tuberculine Testing of Food
Producing Animals.

In response to the article ga Move
In The Right Direction" that appear
ed in the last weeks issue, we wish
to express an opinion and to mention
that we most certainly should and do
heartily agree with the writer in his
suggestions that the periodical medi-
cal examination of school children is
most valuable move; but a move
ment that has for its purpose, chiefly
method or measures for the detec-
ton and for the elimination of those
physical defects and abnormalities
that are the direct results of a malnu-
triton or an imperfect sustenance,
conditions that arise in early childhood
through the act of the feeding of
foods, especially milk, cream and but
ter contaminated with the disease pro-
ducing organisms.
We therefore suggest and believe
that it would be of far more import
ance with reference to the conserva-
ton of the health of our children, that
in place of attempting the correction
of physical defects that as rule are
acquired during early childhood, to
direct our efforts towards the elimin-
alton of the most ruinous act of sup
plying foods laden with disease pro-
ducing germs, food that is to be con-
sumed by the future life saving crew
of our common wealth.
To accomplish such an act or to de-
velope a movement we would advise
that in place of consulting the State
Board of Health for the purpose of
directing measures and for assistance
in the efforts of the attempted eIinin-
alton of such physical defects that
! far more benefit could be derived
without much of an effort and at
minimum of expense to our local
beneficiares by informing the State
Veterinary Officials that we wish their
cooperation in conjunction of physi-
cal examinations and the Tuberculin
Testing of our immediate food pro-
ducing animals for the purpose of the
detection of those individuals that are
badly infected with tuberculosis or
the various other constitutional and
local diseases, especially the diseases
of the udders of such dairy animals
and which are those that are respon-
sible for the contamination >of the
dairy foods, the foods that are large
ly consumed by the young, with the
virulent diseases producing germs,
particularly the Tubercular infection
and the infections that are of pus
producing character and which are
the initial factors in many of the So
called septic throat affections.
The successful Examinations of such
movements would naturally place US
in such position whereby dairy pro-
ducts could be accepted with safety as
being perfectly wholesome and nutri-
tious, and in a state to be readily
and freely consumed by the growing
individuals without the danger of be-
coming inocculated with the infections
that in many instances are the ini-
tial causes of many of the physical
defects found in the latter periods Of
growth.
