TOTAL
OF 414 SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR NEXT
YEARS FESTIVAL is STILL
BELOW REQUIRED AMOUNT.

The attempt to secure subscriptions
for tickets at 81 each for next years
May festival was renewed at the Pres
byterian church Thursday night dur
ing the course of the final program Of
this years festival with the result
that the total number of pledges to
date is Ala.
President Devin of the association
again addressed the audience and
pointed out that the estimated deficit
this year would probably amount to
S343. He added that the cost of this
years festival in it's entirety would
run to S1,360 in round figures. He
stated that the deficit would be forth
coming from the pockets of the board
of guarantors, which amount would
be materially reduced by a private
donation of 500 from an individual in
the city who is very much interested
in the festival and its continuation.
The name of the donor was withheld.
lHS DOdiu 'OL uISClolS Vi lle dSSO-
citation will meet soon and take care
full stock of the finances and survey
future prospects. At that time, de-
cision will be reached whether the
festival will be continued on its pres
ent high plane or abandoned for a
program of inferior worth.
In the meantime, it is still possible
for those who feel an interest in the
association and who have not yet sub
scribed or who desire to increase
their subscriptions to obtain cards
from Secretary Hal NJ. Eggleston of
the association and return them
signed to him. 1t is regarded as es-
sential that 500 tickets be subscribed.

VEGETABLE zoo
With seni.Domesticated Plants AS
Specimens, Undertaken by Union
Township Man

It is well known that Jacob Child
ers. local agent for the East Ohio Gas
company, is possessed Of little more
that his proper proportion of civic
pride. He is always to be found on
the right side of every proposition
that has as its object the betterment
of civic and social conditions, says
the Twin City News.
For several years Mr.. Childers has
owned the vacant lot south of the
gas office. Each season he has titled
part of it, in order to produce some
of the necessary proyender for his
table, such as cabbage, carrots, let.
tuce and onions. Tiring of vegetable
raising, he has thought out a way to
use the lot for the betterment of con-
ditions in such way as to spread the
benefits to the greatest number of
people.
The plan contemplates a vegetable
zoo-probably heretofore unheard of
in these parts. In this unique ZOO,
Mr.. Childers is fostering a number
of semi-domesticated plants, among
which may be found dande-lions, dog
fennel, hog-weed, cow-slips, cat
nip and horse-radish. Other speci-
mems Of the animal kingdom in plant
life will be gladly received by Mr..
Childers, who promises to foster and
promulgate them for the edification of
all who pass the garden.

Taxation Returns Coming In
Thick And Fast
Other Items OF Interest From
The Court House

Frank L. Griffin VS.. Milton Griffin
and others is the title of an action in
stituted to quiet the title Of certain
real estate.
The plaintiff states that he pur-
chased property on Sept 16, 1906,
from Mrs. Catherine Quaid and that
the deed was wrongfully made out to
Lille Griffin who held it only in trust.
Upon her death in February, 1913, the
defendants were the only heirs at law
and accordingly claim interest in the
property.
He further states that he expended
$4,000 in improving the property and
asks, accordingly, that the title be
quieted and that the court find that
defendants have no right or interests
in the property. L. G. Stillwell is his
attorney.
