HEARING OF COUNTRY BOYS

That the country youth is not able
to hear so we'll as his city brother, and
that only about one in five of the
former possess the auricular acuteness
of the city-bred lad is the opinion of
officers at the head of Marine Corps
recruiting in Washington. Their de-
ductions are based on the number of
country boys rejected for poor hear
ing.
Many persons believe that the con-
tinual jarring noises, of the city have
tendency to dull the senstiiveness OF
the nerve centres. However, this is
not borne out by the figures of the
Marine Corps officers, who believe
that the quiet life of the country, free
from noises, has a tendency to weaker
through disuse, the responsive nerves
in the ear
Scientists point to innumerable par
allels in nature where the disuse of ar

100000 coliseum on the Ohio State
Fair grounds will not be completed for
this years state fair but everything
has been done to rush the construc-
ton of the building. The changing of
the tracks into the grounds is being
rushed forward and the work neces-

proper shape for the National Dairy

FALSE REPORT

1t is a matter for regret that any
one in this community should give
credence to or pass on as fact the
report that any of the ladies who are
associated with or directing the work
of the Red Cross in Wauseon are get
ting any personal gain whatsoever
out of this work. This report is
wholly and absolutely false, none of
the members or workers of the Red
Cross in Wauseon or in Fulton county
receive any remuneration whatever
for their services, every penny of
money received is expended for the
materials that are necessary and the
absolutely necessary expenses which
are very small, and the balance is sent
forward to the American Red Cross
among the wounded, sick Starving OF
dying men on the battle fields or in
the prison camps of Europe.
The women who are working here
are all inspired with the spirit of true
patriotism and are giving their ser.
tvices in this spirit to this important
work. Any citizen of the county may
become a member of the Red Cros:
and their services are needed and will
be welcomed by those who are repre-
senting the National organization il
directing the work that is being don'
here

PHOSPHATED MANURE WILL
AID WHEAT CROP

Manure reinforced with either acid
phosphate or raw phosphate rock may
be the only plant food added to wheat
following corn this year, according to
specialists of the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station. Increased crop
yields have far more than paid for
this fertilizer in experimental tests.
Wheat seeding is hurried after the
corn crop is cut in a three-year corn
wheat-clover rotation. After the
wheat is seeded fertilizer may be
added. A few tons of manure per acre
may be applied if available. With it
should be mixed raw phosphate rock
or acid phosphate.
Manure alone has had value OF
$3.65 ton in increase crop yields in
such a rotation at the Experiment Sta.
ton for II years at Wooster. This
value has risen to $4.48 by the addi-
ton of 40 pounds of raw phosphate
rock to each ton of manure, and tC
$5.41 by the use of like quantity OF
acid phosphate.
If raw phosphate rock is used, some
decaying vegetable matter, such a:
manure, will make it more effective
increases the availability of the phos
phorus in the fertilizer.

RISK OF THE SOLDIER

That the risk of the fighting man
is not so great as is popularity i'm
agined is the belief of Marine Corps
officials in Washington who have com
piled statistics covering the Allied
losses in. the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in fifteen is killed, and one
out of five hundred loses limb. Re-
cent reports from French and British
hospitals show that about 95 per cent
recover from wounds, while about go
per cent are able to return to the
firing line.
While the Marine Corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard to the
expected casualties among their own
troops in France, it is pointed out that
the SOLDIERS of the Sea" recently en-.
gagged in warfare in Haiti, suffered
less than one per cent losses. These
were sustained while covering a wide
terrain, fighting from house to house
and capturing and holding small re
doubts, taken one by one from the
enemy. This method of warfare is
said to be rapidly sunerceding the
trench system on the Western front
