OF LATE CONGRESS
MAN ARE PUBLISHED

Friends of the late Congressman E.
r. Bathrick, of Akron, who died two
years ago, will be pleased to learn
that there has just come from the
press of the New York Book Co.,
54-56 East 9th street, New York City,
series of child's books-The Magic
Salt Stories-which will prove OF
great interest to young folks and will
serve to perpetuate his name among
the boys and girls of the present
generation.
A few years ago, when Bathrlck
was representing the Nineteenth dis
trict, he ran across in an old trunk
which had been undisturbed for years
story he had written when he was
19 years old. He sought the judg-
ment of his lifelong friend, Hal +
Denton, veteran Washington cores
pondent, we'll known in Medina and
who recently returned to Cleveland to
resume his residence after an absence
of quarter century. Denton de-
tected at once the unquestioned merit
of the story, with the result that he
brought it to the attention of his
friend, Walter G. Dewitt, president
of the New York Book Co. ' -.''
Dewitt was so impressed with the
manuscript that he prevailed on Bath
rick to write three more companion
stories, making set OF four, anc
contracted to publish the series. The
additional work was accomplished by
the congressman at odd times dur
ing period when he was engrossed
with the arduous duties of member
of the naval affairs committee OF che
house of representatives just pre-
ceding the outbreak of the war. De-
Witt sent to Washington one of the
best--known illustrators and the art
work was done under Bathrick's i'm
mediate supervision. The complete
proofs of the series reached Bath
rick's house in Akron when the con
gressman was confined to his bee
with what proved to be his final i'll
ness. Bathrick died in December
1917, and it was too late then to pub
lish the stories for the holiday sea
son; hence the postponment unit
now. New York book reviewer:
speak in the highest terms of the
Magic Salt Stories.

BOYS CLASS BUSY
SAVING UP MONEY
ARCHITECT TO BEGIN
PLANNING VERY SHORTLY
Homes Are Still Rife For Union Of
Two Congregations INTO One
Strong Church

Every Sunday the pressing need OF
additional room for Sunday school
purposes is seen, and whenever there
is anything special in the church ser
vices an enlargement Of the audi
torium is made patent at the Church
of Christ. The church and Sunday
school have outgrown present quar-
ters, and the officers in the church and
teachers in the Sunday school more
and more realize this fact. More room
must be had, and more convenient
quarters are essential to continued
growth.
At the present time, however,
church activities are so pressing that
the needs Of the near future must
stand in allegiance. Christmas is COM
ing with it's enlarged activities and
duties. Plans for special evangellstlc
meetings in February are taking the
attention of church workers so that at
this time little attention can be paid
to the proposition of an enlarged and
remodeled edifice. So far no architect
has been asked to make plans for the
expansion that is in every mind, but
as soon as some of the pressing work
has been cared for definite effort will
be put forth to determine what is
wise to do in this matter.
But not all the younger members
in the church and school are satisfied
to allow things to drift even under
pressing needs in other directions.
One class of boys in the Sunday school
has felt the urge and has for some
time been engaged in raising funds
for a new church, or the remodelling
! of the old edifce into a new place OF
worship. This class has already
raised upwards of 500 and is striving
to make it $100 before the new year.
1t is a class of wide awake young
sters, and the success of their efforts
is an earnest of what pulling to-
gether" can accomplish.
There is still hope in the minds OF
certain of the more liberal believers
in the church that a sister church
with the same faith, may see what
they term the folly of continuing ar
unequal struggle for existence ane
decide to come in with the Church o1
Christ, bury any little differences, ant
the two congregations make an easy
load of it. A short campaign by thu
two bodies, it is averred, could ant

SUNDAY FOOTBALL IS
TABOO IN WADSWORTH

Sunday football is taboo in Wads-
worth, Mayor Boyer of that village,
having clamped down the lid last
week. Following a noisy game of a
week ago Sunday so many complaints
were made that the Mayor notified
the team that no further Sunday
games would be permitted. The boys
inquired as to what the probable pen
atty would be if the order was dis
obeyed and were told the limit would
be imposed, which meant $40 and
costs each. The remainder of the sea-
sons games will be played at Silver
Creek, the price being considered
more than the privilege was worth.

ADVISE FLOWING UNDER
FLY-INFESTED WHEAT

In sections where the Hessian fly
has damaged the wheat to such an
extent that most of the plants are
turning yellow or dying, farmers are
advised by entomologists at the Ohio
Experiment Station to plow the land
deeply either in the spring or fall
and seed to some other crop.
These fields at present are so
heavily infested that the chances for
crop are meager and the Matching
out of the spring brood from the
heavily-infested fields will bring on
more damage from the fly next
spring in fields that are apparently
free at the present time. When bad
ly-infested fields are plowed deeply
the flies cannot emerge in the spring.
Reports coming to the department
of entomology at the Ohio Expert
ment Station indicate that practically
all of the early-sown fields in the
State are badly infested with Hessian

other was towed from al adjoining

the weather conditions as the ground
was soft and the truck had an OPP
portunity to prove their worth ever
better than they would have had If
the fields had been in better condition.
The shocks Of grain were hauled

farmers who witnessed the demon

DAlRYINC IS
MORE POPULAR
Industry Steadily Increases
in State; Valley is Fine
Dairy Country.

The remarkable change in the at
titude of farmers of North Dakota
toward dairying was pointed out this
morning by r. +. Flint of Duluth, ex-
tension and field agent of the Bridge
man-Russell company. who states that
each year now there is steady increase
in the amount Of dairy products raised
by farmers Of the state.
Twenty and even fifteen years ago,
Mr.. Flint states. farmers emphatical-
~ declared that they would move
to Canada or hope to die" before they
would milk cows. but that now the
attitude was entirely changed and
farmers particularly along the Red
River valley are devoting more and
more attention to this branch Of the
farming industry.
ditions of the Red River valley are
admirably adapted to dairyins. ae-
cording to Mr.. Flint. who declares
that this territory forms one of the
very best dairy sections in the Unit
ed States.
Farm the Year Round.
Mr.. Film, is a strong exponent, Of
year round farming" stating thai
the raising Of dairy cattle and prod
ucts is one OF the very best means of
making the farm a profitable invest
men, during the entire year rather
than during only a pari of the year.
The dairy cattle should be handled
to freshen after the harEes, and TO
produce all during the winter and
this is possible with the excellent
feed conditions of the valley. In this
way the farmer is occupied with his
herd and is engaged in a profitable
occupation during the winter when
the other farm work is light
When handled in his the
stock does not require the same
amount of attention during the sum-
mer months when the farm work and
harvest are in full swing.
Mr.. Flint believes that dairyinE
should not pc done exclusively by
North Dakota farmers hu, should be
given a fair part of the attention of
the farmers as one OF the most i'm
portant branches of farming.
Dairying in this section has been
for many years and will be for some
time to come principally for the pro-
duction of butter. dairy milk and
cheese being minor consideration in
the belief of MI. Flint. In the east
where there are many large cities
the dairy industry is largely given
over to the production of milk and
cheese, but this is essentially a butter
section of the country al present
