FARMERS MAY STILL
KILL BROTHER FOX

While the season on foxes in Ohio
closed January 1st, foxes may be
killed at any time when they have be-
come nuisance or are found doing
damage to property, according to A..
c. Baxter, Chief of the State Fish
and Game Department. This is pro-
vided for in section 1898 of the game
laws" Baxter says. Complaints are
coming from farmers and sportsmen
in all parts Of the state that foxes are
doing great damage to game and to
farmers poultry and that in some
sections of the state last year they
caused great damage to young lambs
and pigs" Baxter says that after
due investigation of the fox question
he does not hesitate to declare the
fox nuisance, in Ohio, at this time.
"For some reason there has been an
enormous increase in foxes during
the past two years." he says.
Baxter further calls attention to
the fact, however, that hunting and
trapping license must be procured to
pursue or kill foxes, except as pro
vided in Section 1431, exempting land
owners or tenants on their own prop
erty.

ORGANIZE JERSEY CLUB
SOME TIME IN FEBRUARY

One of the activities of the Farm
Bureau is the efforts put forth to
organize stock clubs and aid the
breeders in greater developments of

popular development of cattle. The
club is getting well under way and
promises are good for the future.
Plans are maturing for the forma-
tion of a Jersey club in February, and
if there are enough with Guernsey
herds in the county to make it worth
while club will be formed of the
breeders Of that family of bovines.
Mr.. Salisbury is always glad to re-
ceive communications from farmers
interested in any of these topics, or
better still, call on him in person

TOWN HALL GIVEN UP
TO COMMUNITY DANCES

A column. with big illustrations, in
Sundays Plain Dealer, gives us the
following narrative:
Fifty-one years ago the town hall
was built at Darrowville, little ham,
let near Cleveland. The hall was used
for school events and otherwise was
"silent as the grave" Finally, the
public recognizing that non-use was
a waste of good hall space organized
a dancing club, holding weekly dances
through the winter and occasional
"hops" through the rest Of the year.
A local orchestra was formed the
personnel of which has played for
these dances for over 40 years.
Many is the good time that has
been had in this hall in this little
hamlet. Nearly everyone-that didn't
have rheumatism or club feet-in
town danced and has danced since
childhood. And so far as any town
records show the percentage of those
who have gone to the devil in this
town is as small as anything Medina
can exhibit.
1t is very good habit to 60 to
church, regularly; it is good thing
to go to prayer meeting if so dis
posed. But all church and prayer
meeting, with "to bed at 9 o'clock
every night" and no recreation, won't
make even good christians much less
happy and satisfied citizens. These
weekly dances at Darrowville have
been feature in the life of this vii
lage and in the life of it's people. II
might be well for some of the grabbed
individuals who would sanction little
beside prayer meeting and church tc
study the lives of the people rearet
under this wider scope of pleasure
and see who can show the greater
percent of good, healthy citizens.
