Boy Scout News

Troop No. s of the First Baptist
church will hold their meeting at
the Y this evening with Scoutmas-
ter Leroy Soady. This troop Is
busy lining up a real live troop
committee and so far have signed
up Willis Woods, Y. M. c.. A. physi-
cal director, and W. G. Murphy,
one of the deputy scout commits
sioners. They intend to have the
best troop in the city if their pres
emit plans work out
Troop No. II. Rock Islands
splendid colcred troop, will meet
at the legion hall this evening with
Scoutmaster William Taylor at
1880. This troop COPIED the high
honors in last years athletic meet
and intend to repeat this year if
possible. Boys are requested to
bring their gym shoes with them
so that may play basketball this
evening.
Troop No. / A and Troop No. 81
will play scheduled game Of bas-
ketball Friday evening at the leg
ion gym to decide tho heavyweight
championship of Scout troops in
the city. Both of these teams were
too heavy to enter the Scout tourn-
ament and Friday nights game
will decide the question as to the
best team in the city regardless of
| weight.
The scoutmasters of the city met
in the scout executives Office last
evening to decide work for this
summer. Plans for summer camp
were discussed and number OF
scoutmasters stated that they
would try to spend some time in
camp. The local council is giving
each scoutmaster two weeks free
stay at the summer camp. Because
of the fact that most of them are
busy men they will be I'M
able to take their two weeks in
one stay, but will have to take a
few days at a time. In this way il
is. hoped that every scout leader in
the city can get to camp for a real
outing. The camp has golf grounds
and tennis courts and these will
appeal more to the scoutmasters
than to the Scouts themselves.

THE HEN THAT is A r.
SWELL DRESSER
is A POOR LAYER


"The hen that gets out the fashion
plate in July and August and
dresses up in swell new winter
costume is invariably a poor layer.
The successful poultry raiser vii!
Gull out all hens that molt before
September l." says E. Z. Dakan,
poultry extension specialist, Ohio
State University. Mr.. Dakan last
fall culled flock of trapnested hens,
none of which he knew the yearly
egg record. Bn comparing the
trapnesA record it was found that
in every instance the early molted
was a poor layer.
Mr.. Dakan says that culling the
flock once a year and culling out
the early no1ters. Hens with yell
low legs in the fall have been poor
layersss hens with shallow bodies
and crow heads lack vigor and ca
paeity for handling a large amount
of food which is necessary for high
egg production. It costs about
twenty-five cents month to feed
hen and all poor ones should be
culled as soon as they quit laying
which is in July and August
All farmers, should learn to Gull
their poultry, says Mr. Dakan and
the University will give assistance
Farmers should ask their county
agent for dates for culling demon
strations.

50 RIM BUREAU
MEMBERSHIP drive

At special meeting of the Full
ton County. Farm Bureau held at the
Court House in Wauseon Wednesday
evening the members voted in favor
Of asking the Ohio Federation CT
Farm Bureaus to conduct a cam
rlign for Farm Bureau members in
Fulton County on the basis of ten
dollars year for three years.
Mr.. George Cooley, farmer from
Cuyhoga County and director in the
State Federation explained the plan
of work of the State Federation, the
need for more funds, the necessity
for all farmers to organize in the
county farm bureau, the state fed
ersticn and the national federation
in order to have the great industry
of agriculture properly recognized.
He also explained the plan of con-
ducting the membership campaign
by soliciting furnished by the State
Federation. These solicitors to be
actual farmers who are farm bureau
members in other counties.
Mr.. A. F. High, farmer from
Crawford County, Ohio gave ali en-
thusiastic address on the necessity
Of all farmers joining properly
financed farmers organization in or
der to look after the interests of
agriculture and put it on a profit
able basis. He stated that all other
industries and classes of business
are organized such as the hardware
men, bankers, grocerymen. lumber
dealers ETC., and are paying from
ten or twelve dollars up to a hundred
dollars a year into their organization
even the newsboys of Cleveland have
their union their dues being Ice a
month of $12 year. This is
more than the farmers have been
in the habit of paying into their
farm bureau. Agriculture is the
greatest industry in the world and
it is tinre those who are engaged in
that industry wake up to the fact
that it is necessary to have the in
terests of that industry looked after
by proper representatives properly
financed.
Representatives were present at
the farm bureau meeting from every
township except Gorham though
there should have been a larger at
tendance to hear this important mat
ter discussed. On first thought It
would seem impossible to get g
large membership on the basis of
ten dollars a year but this has not
proven in the contests that have
already conducted the campaign. In
fact. practically all of the counties
increased their membership at the
old rate bv 100 per cent more.
The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau met Monday evening
August 10th to decide upon the time
for conductin0 the campaign.

A MYSTERY

At about eleven O'Clock last Mon
day night the burglar alarm at the
Peoples State Bank suddenly began
to ring and continued to ring for the
space of about half an hour.
Mr. F. w. Meyer heard the alarm
and inquired of Central in regard
to the cause. Central" replied that
they had been trying to get some
of the bank people BY phone but had
failed.
Mr.. Meyer sailed forth from his
home on Birch street to see. If he
could discover some trouble. Mr..
Meyer said he proceeded very eau
tiously. and discovered gathered
about the bank Frank Leu the night
watchman and about four others
who had been aroused; there didn't
seem to be any special excitement
and Mr. Meyer retired from the
scene. A careful search of the
premises revealed no indications Of
even an attempted entrance; and the
ringing of the alarm remains
mystery until such time as an expert
along the line of burglar alarms dis
covers the secret.

POULTRY CULLING
DEMONSTRATIONS

Poultry culling demonstrations
have been completed in each of the
II townships in Fulton County. Mr..
&. L. Dakan, poultry specialist OF
Ohio State University was in the
county two days and conducted the
demonstrations The rest of the
demonstrations were given by the
county.
The total number of people at
tending the demonstrations was
about 500 200 different flocks were
represented with total of 10000
hens. The poultry specialist d'.ls
us that on the average over Ohio
so per cent OF the hens are not
profitable proudcers and should be
culled out of the flock. He also stated
states that the hens should be culled
out of the flock. He also states that
the hens which should be culled out
of our flock, but are allowed to re-
main will cost US a dollar for feed
before they begin to produce pro-
fitably Taking those figures for a
basis the culling demonstrations
have been the means of saving $14,-
500 in feed to the people of Fulton
Co nty provided every flock is
culled whose owner attended a de-
monstration. Indications from the
focks where the demonstrations
were held are that only about one
third of the hens would need to be
culled out, but even on that basis
the work would be worth while.
When we receive a report of the
1920 census. it will undoubtedly snow
that the poultry industry in Fulton
County is not far behind the dairy
industry. If the f1ocks over the
county average as large as those
whose owners attended the demon
strations, there are not less than
350.000 hens now being kept in Full
ton County. We can see then the
importance of Systematically culliTg
from the flock of hens which are not
laying.
The dairyvneT of Fulton County
have given a great deal Of attention
to the Improvement of their herds
bv eliminating the poor producers,
keeping the heifers from the best
cows in the herd and using better
sires, but very little attention has
been given TO the Improvement OF
our focks of poultry in spite of the
fact that improvement could be ac-
conplished in the same way as with
the dairy herd.
ANY person who desires to cu'l
the poor producers from their flock
should obtain information in regard
to culing from the County Agent
or from some person who attended
the demonstrations.

SEN. HARDING MEETS
HIS BROTHER EDITORS

The faith and support Of the Re
publican newspapers of Ohio is
pledged to Senator W. G. Harding is
more than a party sense as a result
of the demonstration of loyalty to
him and his cause given last Friday
when editors and representatives of
the Republican state press gathered
at Marion in testimony of their
affection and fealty for brother
craftsman.
This was the thought that ami
mated the newspaper gathering as
Senator Harding spoke to is mem
bers from the front porh of his
home. 1t twas not so mcuch pre-
sidential nominee who was pseaking
but a fellow editor whose problems
were their own and who had won
a measurable success above the
trials and difficulties of a common
experience.
In another sense the tribute given
Senator Harding by the Republican
state press was an intimately per-
sonal one. All Of those present
knew him primarily as publisher of
the Marion Star and for those Of
older years there was the bond of
long association in a common endeav-
or The glamor of high place and
the striving for lofty position was
quite forgotten in an occasion IN
which equality and understanding
and neighborliness were predominant.
This thought and feeling was
voiced in short address made by
John E. Hopley of the Bucyrus
Evening Telegraph, President of the
Harding for President Newspaper
mems Club of Ohio. The speaker
recalled that in 1896 his father, on
behalf of the Republican editors of
Ohio had rendered their best wishes
and congratulations to / William Nc

speed and success in the coming con-
test and when November comes we
will find as we did in 1896, that Ohio
has added another star to her pre-
sdential constellation and that new
star will be our friend and colleague
Warren G. Harding.

adult members of these families were
in attendance besides many children.
Mr.. Jacob Gehrett of this city is the

that everybody in attendance had an
enjoyable time and all were so well
satisfied that the company voted to

next year and also reelected Mr..
Gehrett as president.
A sumptuous dinner was served on
tables under the trees, brief talk
from F. E. Kenyon, recitations by
two young ladies Of teh Klint family
and the usual business transacted
but above all was the opportunity
to renew 4old friendships, enjoy tht
"reminiscences of the past and lool
forward with hearts made stronger
by association with friends and re
latives to the future. Members o.
the families were present from adJoin

1921 CHAUTAUQUA ASSURED

The 1920 Wauseon' Chautauqua
closed Sunday evening: 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that the program
this year has been first class in
chars cter and that it has given gen
erai satisfaction to the patrons who
have attended. It would be impossi-
bic to present q program as large
as that presented by the Redpath
Bureau in which every number would
suit every person in attendance but
the 1920 program was varied enough
so that people of all shades Of taste
and prediction found something in
the program to please them.
While the program was up to a
high standard the support from the
people of the community fell a little
below par and the committee were
forced to draw or the sinking fund
for small amount in making set
tlement.
The 1920 21 committee organized
by electing A. E. Harger chairman,
r. S. Campbell secretary and c. D.
Perry treasurer. The matter of
a chautauqua for 1921 was present
ed on Friday and Saturday evenings
and the people of the community
made it perfectly evident by theil
response in ticket pledges that they
desire chautauqua next year. Tick
els enough were pledged to justify
the committee in entering into {
contract with the Redpath Bureau
for a seven day Chautauqua fol
1921. The committee guarantees thu
{sale of 700 adult tickets or $1750.0o
