After picking up dishes, and

wEsr-DE FOREST TENT SHOW

me West-DeFOrest tent show,
which was advertised to be here
all week, arrived in Missouri Vail
ley Sunday and erected their large
pavilion early Monday morning on
the vacant lots on the corner of
Sixth and Erie. At noon yester-
day fine concert was given and
another preceding the show in
evening.
Mr.. DeForest is not unknown
to the people in the Valley, as
several years ago he was here
with a stock company that sue
cessfully played during a fair
week at the old opera house.
Last evening before the con-
cert was over every seat in the
large cool tent was occupied and
the crowd ready to witness the
fascinating drama, "The Country
Girl" From the lifting of the
large American flag curtain to
the end of the play everyone
seemed to be thoroughly salts
fled.
This troupe, which consists OF
thirty five people, is no ordinary
enc. Each and every actor last
evening proved that they can ac-
complish high-class work. The
musical numbers and other spe-
cialty work made a decided hit.
The band and orchestra mem
bers are splendid musicians and
delighted the crowd with their
generous concerts before the
show and during the intermis-
sions.
The company would feel high
ly complimented if they could
have heard all the good things
said about them today on the
streets.
The only way to find out how
really good they are is to attend
one performance, and be con
WINGED. l say it is one of the best
little shows that has visited our
city for some time.

Ohio Experiment Station
Bulletins
A DECEPTIVE QUOTATION

Information has come to the Ohio
experiment station that the following
statements are being spread broad
cast on the tags of a fertilizer estab-
lishment:
at is also true that the use of
ACID PHOSPHATE to the neglect of
NITROGEN and POTASH will tend
to exhaust the organic matter from
the soil and cause it to become hard
er.
Therefore we insist as strenuously
as we know how to do on the use of
such materials as will furnish what
is known as a COMPLETE FsERTI-
LIzER.
"Our experiments show almost in
variably that a fertilizer that con
tains NITROGEN, PHOSPHORUS
and POTASSIUM-al three-pro-
duces the greatest yield Of crops"
"CHAS. E. THORNE, Director.
Ohio Experiment Station"
All these statements are true, says
Director Thorne, but he adds that the
fertilizer people have neglected to in
clude the following sentence which
Immediately followed the foregoing in
the letter from which they were TAX
en-.
However, when the NITROGEN is
purchased in NITRATE OF SODA,
the cost Of the fertilizer often out
weighs the value of the increase, but
if the NITROGEN and POTASH are
produced in CLOVER and BARN
YARD MANURE the actual cost will
be more than covered in the increase
and there will be constant increase
in the crop-producing power Of the
land"
AS the cost of nitrogen in nitrate of
soda is less than its cost to the farm
er in the ordinary, ready-mixed ferti-
lizer, it will be seen that the director
of the Ohio station does not advise
the purchase of ready-mixed, com
plete fertilizers.

SWAT THE OK MARBLE

Ok warble flies, which cause SER
ious losses in Ohio cattle every year,
may be largely controlled by squeez-
ing grubs out Of infested animals dur
ing the early months. according to
the Ohio experiment station. The
eggs are laid during the summer main
ly upon the hair on the legs of cattle.
The young maggots are found in the
gullet from September to February,
after which they appear under the
hide. Small humps on the back indi-
cate the position of the grubs.
Hides are reduced in value from
one to two cents a pound by the pres
ence of OK warbles Flesh is some
times so damaged as to be unfit for
sale. Milk production is lessened by
the presence OF numerous grubs. Cat
tie in general are annoyed seriously
by these warbles. Removing and de-
stroying all the grubs from infested
cattle will reduce the number of egg
laying females for next summer.

That Life's Highest Ideal
Has Come To Be That

The S3rd annual meeting of the
Congregational church was held in
the church auditorium Tuesday even
ing, January IL, at $3.50. The meet
ing was largely attended and the re-
ports given by the officers of the
church and presidents of the var
ious societies show that the past year
has been one of marked progress in
all departments and that the outlook
for the coming year is full of promise
for larger and better work in the
church and community.
The election of officers followed the
report and resulted as follows:
Deacons-Charles Schnebly and A.

At the close of the supper, Mrs
Thomas favored the audience with
two delightful solos.
The pastor then introduced Rev. O..
l.. Kiplinger of Mansfield, o., who
gave a very helpful and inspiring ad-
dress on "The Spirit of Service"
The speaker said that the highest
ideal OF a nation, like that of an in
dividual, changes from age to age.
We have now advanced beyond the
ideal of patriotism and love of coun-
try; beyond the ideal of piety that
seeks ones own salvation, to the
higher ideal OF service for others
the kind of service which causes one
to be remembered after he is gone;
the spirit of service which urges one
to do above and beyond that which is
required OF him.
After all had sung one verse ol
"Blest be the Tie That Binds" the
pastor pronounced the benediction
and the meeting was adjourned
