Ohio will have basic wage for

per shock, ~ by IL hills-if recon-
mendations of southwestern Ohio
growers are followed. At the same
time the call went out for 1000 men
to help cut corn.
Pointing out that the above rate
will enable men to earn from So to $S
per day, growers from half dozen
counties In that section, where corn
cutting starts first, have called upon
Ohio county farm agents and grow
ers In other sections to cooperate on
this basis. The price was fixed ut II
recent conference of county farm
bureau representatives.
Following this line, Clinton county
growers, meeting with corn cutters,
reached an agreement of Is cents a

ed this as a standard wage for Clin-

also adopted an 1S-cent rate for corn

Get the Ferocious Animal.
Lincoln, n. H.-Recently, while one
OF j. e. Henry & Sons trains was
making regular trip into the Henry
woods the train crew heard noise
around Camp IS. They noticed tracks
and blood near the river. They kept
on down to Lincoln with load Of logs.
When the train went up again in the
afternoon the crew discovered Wild
cat and deer fighting. The train
crew, Henry Boyle, William Hamlet.
Jack Boyle and Joseph Laundry, took
lanterns and went into the woods. q
When the wildcat heard them com.
ing it ran a short distance away. In
the woods they found a large doe al
most dead. There was a large space
covered with blood, tracks and hair.
The deer's neck was all cut up and it
could not walk. They also saw where
the deer had tried to get the cat off its
backiby walking under low trees.
They telephoned to the game war
den and he told them to kill the deer
and take it to one of the camps. They
tied the deer and took it up to Camp
21. There they put 1t in the barn on
some hay, but it died next day.
There were quite few wildcats
shot during the last year, but not many
big ones This cat was big one and
several hunters have set traps for II
and hope to catch it.
