Officer In Battery E Given
Nice Promotion By The
Adjutant General
RECRUITING WILL BE
CONTINUED UNTIL 18th
Nine More Recruits Needed
To Bring Battery To Full
War Strength

Lieut. julius Headington of Bat
terry E, Ohio field artillery, returned
from Columbus Monday evening as
first lieutenant, having been given the
promotion by Adjutant General Wood
Monday. Lieut.. Headington had re-
ceived no intimation that he was to
receive the appointment Monday and
it came as a surprise to him.
He was instructed while in Colum-
bus to continue recruiting until July
Is at which time the local unit will
enter the federal service. These in
tructions directly countermand those
received some time ago which order
ed recruiting stopped last Saturday
night The local battery still needs
nine men in order to bring it up to
full war strength and these men will
no doubt be secured before the re-
cruiting stops.
The enlisted men have nearly all
been measured for their uniforms and
acquisitions for them will be sent in
Wednesday. The new uniforms are
expected within about ten days. The
battery will drill on the public square
Friday night, and announcement has
been made that the men will receive
25 cents for each drill, this amount
being paid by the state.
The battery boys will enjoy "day
off, Wednesday instead of performing
and drill This is contrary to the u.s.
ual custom, as the men are usually
required to spend the Fourth of July
in military work.
While in Columbus Monday Lieut..
Headington was supplied with reports
Of various kinds and description
lists" which must be filed out and
filed in the adjutant generals office
with description of each man in the
service.

Hitherto, she has rejected outside of,

TWEED BREATHED
A LITTLE AFTER
HIS FATAL FALL
Victim Observed Sitting In
Window Shertly Before
The Accident

Death was almost instantaneous in
the case of Samuel Tweed, whose fall
from the third.story window at the
county infirmary was reported in The
Banner of Monday although Charles
Shellenbarger, who picked up the un-
fortunate man, states that he breathed
for several seconds.
Just how the accident occurred
will never be known but all evidence
points to the fact that Mr.. Tweed was
sitting in window and became over
balanced. Ill for several days, he
was able to be out of his bed Monday
afternoon and was observed in the
window by Martin Statler, an en-
ploye of the infrmary who was taking
some clothes to the main building
from the laundry. This was shortly
after 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The deceased was 81 years of age
and resided in Brown township until
January 1916, when he entered the in
firmary. He leaves a niece, Mrs. Os-
car Rine of Brown township.

SEED GATHERING
MUST Be DONE BY
FARMERS OF OHIO
EBy Associated Press to The Bannerl

tBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
COLUMBUS, July S-lf farmers
and gardeners want seeds for next
years sowing, it behooves every gar
dener and farmer in the land to gath
er what seeds he may from this year s
crop.
The foregoing is the edict of Ohio
seed experts who have just returned
from the annual meeting of the
American Seed association convention
at Detroit. These experts report the
greatest demand for seed in the his
tory of the trade, due largely, they
say, to the campaign for increased
acreage and production of foodstuffs
The cutting off of the European sup
ply is another reason assigned by
these men for the shortage.
Turnip seed, formerly sold for 50
cents a pound, now sell at from 70
cents to 81. Onion sets, formerly
quoted at $3.50 a bushel, were SIS
this year. Because of the heavy de-
mand for beans this year, seed has be-
come alarmingly scarce and the short
age is liable to prove serious, accord
ing to those who know.

Corrigan, made to her on one occa-
sion while, according to Mrs. Corri-
gan, they were having trouble. Mrs.
Corrigan filed her petition for divorce
in the common pleas court Monday,
charging her husband with gross neg
lect and extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Corrigan alleges that her hus-
band has made her life continuous
round of beatings and abuse. She says
that she is tired of being clicked and
knocked around" and that by reason
of his ill-treatment and continued
threats to take her life she is afraid of
him and dares not continue to live
with him. She says that when Cor
rigan "gets filled up with liquor he
becomes desperate and this frequent
ly happens"
On one occasion she alleges ihe
kicked her off the porch and at an
other time struck at her with razor
and cut her clothing. She asks that
the defendant be restrained from
drawing a sum of money deposited to
his credit in savings and loan asso-
citation, that she be given temporary
alimony during the pendency Of her
suit and that, upon final adjudication,
she be given the custody of their two
minor children, divorce and perma-
nent alimony. B. E. Sapp is the at
torney for the plaintiff. The Corri-
gans were married in September of
1913.

But, most wonderful, people pur-

1T was found later that much

hood, caused possibly by bacteria
transmitted by these very flies.
We are too tolerant of the pres
ence of this filthy and dangerous
insect, Its breeding grounds should
be the first point of attack.
The Bureau of Entomology of
the Department of Agriculture has
given a great deal of attention to
the matter, and the publications OF
the Bureau should be consulted
for data on the subject. On the
authority of this Bureau il is
stated that at least o5 per cent OF
the town and city flies are breG

roads, fields, and stables. The
remedy proposed is stricter en-
forcement of the laws governing
the cleaning of streets, and the
covering of all manure pits in
town and country, with occasional
spraying with crude petroleum.
The manure pile and the barnyard
are the fiy-breeding ground of the
