HOLD STATE WIDE JUDGING
CONTEST


During the week of January 81 to
February 4, the first state wide boys
stock judging contest will be held at
the Ohio State University, Columbus.
At this time 1876 boys, all winners in
the county contests held by the ex-
tension department of the University
last fall, will clamor for the honor
of being the best boy stock judge in
Ohio. One day of the week is to be
given over to the instruction and
judging of one particular breed of
live stock. All the boys have been
granted a free trip to the University
for the week and many are now pre-
pairing for the final competition. 1t
is expected that large county delega-
tions will accompany the boys to the
contest. Gold and silver medals will
be given to the winners and banners
will be awarded to the counties scor-
ing the highest.

SET UP new PLANS

Within a few days Frank w. Mil
Ter, state school superintendent, will
announce complete plans for the con-
duct of a state corn boys contest next
year. This is the turn taken as the
result of the difficulty between the
new state board of agriculture and
former contest manager, T. p. Rid
die. That such contests may be pro-
perly under supervision of the state
school superintendent and become a
part of the agricultural work in the
schools seems to be generally accept
ed. The work is to be conducted by
tn county superintendents in the var
ious counties, and trips will be ar
ranged by them.
Suspicion cast on the previous con-
test by the charges of personal gain,
the exposure of the plan for the con-
test manager to run a huge state ex-
hibit excursion to the Panama Paci-
fic fair at state expense to promote
Willis presidential aspirations, and
the forcing of tie contest manager on
an unwilling board, with the disa-
greements between Secretary Dunlap
and Manager Riddle, all caused a
share of the failure of the recent corn
boys contest As a matter of fact it
developed into nothing more than a
big railroad excursion and the news
papers of the state quite properly re-
fused to give free publicity to such
cause. The plans of the state
board of agriculture would not add
any confidence in the project for an
other year, and it is perhaps well that
the educational department has de-
cided to take over the work, for this
year at least. 1t is assured that the
work in the department of education
will at least be harmonious, and there
is not possible any suspicion that
anyone in the department will be
working in the interest of any but
the state of Ohio and the boys who
will enter the contest.

MEDIUM-PRIcED AUTOS WITH LOW
UP-kEEP, SAYS JOHN N. WILLYS

New York, Jan. 1T is intensely in
teresting to compare the questions of mo-
tor enthusiasts who are attending the
show this season with questions asked by
visitors of former years remarked John
n. WHY'S, president of the WHY'S Over
land Company, of Toledo. o., after over
hearipg the remarks of several visitors
to statesmen in the Overland booth at the
Grand Central Palace.
"As | stood there listening a moment
ago | could not help thinking of the tre-
menduous changes which have taken
place i'm the automobile industry in a
comparatively short time, changes beneti-
cial to both the general public and the
motor car manufacturer.
1T has only bee nwithin the last year
or so that the purchase of an automobile
has been considered from the standpoint
of a business investment. Big, heavy
cars, costing up in the thousands of dol
lars, were all that would formerly inter-
est the people, even of moderate means,
and as for those who could afford a high
priced car, they would no more think of
driving any thing else than walking.
"A striking evidence of the trend of
the times is shown in two sales reported
by Overland dealers within the last few
weeks. In both cases four cylinder OV-
erands were purchased by men to whom
price was a matter of little moment. One
is a prominent United States Senator,
the other President of one of the best
known Western railroads.
But the manufacturer doing business
on a large production scale has been the
revolutionary influence in the automobile
industry. He is the individual who has
demonstrated that a motor car of pleas
ing appearance, possessing good riding
qualities and which will give good service
can be sold for a very moderate price
when manufactured in large quantities
ITO my way of thinking, the feature
which is really responsible for the sue
cess of the medium priced automobile Is
its low up-keep expense

HIGHER TAXES

Some citizens complain about high
er taxes this year. Here and there
some fellow kicks who thought by
electing Wills he would have lower
taxes. Tax rates will not be less un-
der Willis than under Governor Cox.
The people ought to realize that a
lot of cheap promises made to get
votes are more likely to work injury
and hardship than to benfit them
When taxes are higher in commun-
ity local conditions usually call for
same. Better roads and better
schools are worth more money. The
false cry of Willis for economy has
not saved Ohio single cent. The
folly, ignorance, extravaganza, and
intense partisan ship of the Willis ad-
ministration have cost Ohio many
dollars as well as honor and prestige.

BEGIN FIGHT ON TREE BLIGHT

The fall and early winter months
afford an excellent opportunity to
clean up the orchard and to wage a
fight against fruit diseases, according
to the department of horticulture,
Ohio State University. All diseased
and blight infested parts of the trees
should be cut out and burned. The
blight during the past season has
been worse than usual and care must
be taken to prevent its spread If the
orchard is to be saved. In cutting
out blighted parts the dead bark
should be cut away leaving in sharp
contrast the live portion. The dead
bark is the lowest margin of the
blight.

There are some signs of 1t now, but
they will have to multiply a great

DAN CUPID VICTIMS
[WashIngton Q. II. Heraldl

lNdHlAlllbApil Ass IL AANi AANl
ST. Andrews Episcopal church threw
open its portals for its first wedding New
Years day at high noon. when Miss
Florence N. Jones became the bride of
L. Heath Vining, of Celina.
The bride is the oldest daughter Of DR..
and Mrs. Neil B. Jones, and girl Of eX-
ceptional charm and beauty of the viva
cious Southern type She has special
talent in the line of Domestic Art, hay
ing supplemented earlier courses in re-
cent study in Cincinnati.
Although growing up in this city most
of her latter years were spent in Chilli
cothe, and 1t Is with much regret that
younger society circles of Washington
realize they must so soon be deprived Of
a welcome addition.
The bridegroom Is the son of Mrs. Sam
uel J. Vining, of Celina. His father was
the late ex-speaker, $. J. Vning. Be
longing to a prominent family and hav-
ing no small business ability, he is also
fortunate in possessing an attractive per
sOnality which wins for him friends in
both business and social relations
The wedding, while pretty and impress
sive, was. marked by its utter simplicity
showing in all the arrangements the IN
dividuality of the bride.
With no music and no attendants the
young couple took their places quite sim
ply before the officiating rector, Rev. Eu-
gene Prosser, who performed the Episco-
polian ring ceremony.
The bride was striking pretty in a
smart tailored suit of kings blue French
crepe, Paris bonnet and gloves ensuite.
She carried a white prayer book.
After the nuptial benedictioin was pro-
nounced Rev. VIM. Boynton Gage, of the
First Presbyterian church, offered a
short prayer and there were informal
congratulations from the immediate fam
lilies who alone witnessed the ceremony.
A wedding breakfast at the Cherry
Hotel followed. 1t was an unusually ella
borate breakfast of seven courses, fault
lessly served.
Seated with the bride and bridegroom
were the families and the two ministers
and their wives.
Mr. and Mrs Vining left on the after
noon train for Cincinnati enroute to San
Antonio, Texas, and an extensive west
er trip. They will be at home in Kansas
City Mo-, where Mr. Vining is associa-
ted with the b. F.. Goodrich Rubber Co.,
after the fifteenth of February.
A number of handsome wedding gifts
were received.
Mrs Samuel Vining of Celina, Misses
Lillian and Daisy Socsin, of Chillcothe,
aunts of the bride were the only guests
from a distance.
