Announcement Made of Ap-
pointment Of Sidney Pet
erson AS Patrolman

Announcement was made Saturday
of the appointment by Safety Director
w. r. Hookway of Sidney Peterson as
a member of the Mt. Vernon police
force filling the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Officer William
Hobbs.
The new officer has been employed
at the G. e G. Cooper Co. Formerly
he was machinist's helper but more
recently has been employed other.
wise.
He has had no experience as po-
liceman but Director Hookway because
OF his knowledge and acquaintance
with Peterson is confident that he
will make good officer. He will go
on duty next Monday, April 10, at
noon.
Mayor Keigley announced also that
he had been given Friday afternoon
the resignation of John w. Shoemaker
as a member of the city police depart
ment. The resignation is Immediately
effective.
Rumors had been current about
town Friday evening and Saturday to
the effect that Shoemaker had bee n
| removed for intoxication. 1t was told
that he had been seen on train in
state of intoxication and that he
also had conducted himself otherwise
in manner unseemly for an officer.
Discussing these rumors Mayor
Keigley said it is not true that Offic.
| er Shoemaker had been removed un-
der charges for intoxication. The Of
| ficer had presented his resignation to
him voluntarily and had insisted up
on it's acceptance even after Mayor
Keigley had sought to dissuade him
and urged him to continue on the
force.
The resignation of Shoemaker, fol-
lowing that of Hobbs, both of whom
were appointed by Mayor Keigley af.
ter taking office on January 1, leaves
the department with but one patrol.
man, Officer French, and Chief of Po.
lice Parker
The resignation at this time serious
ly embarrasses plans he had for pa
trolling the city. He had purposed
asking the council to authorize the
purchase of motorcycle and side car
He intended assigning Shoemaker to
free lance duty with the motorcycle
The departure of Shoemaker from
the force makes it necessary to aban
don these plans. Until the new offic
ers have gained a measure of exper
ience in the discharge of the duties
of policeman it will be unwise tc
assign to special duty. While both
Hobbs and Shoemaker are new
men on the local police force they
have had other experience in police
duties that made them valuable men
Mayor Keigley announced also that
he is now seriously contemplating ant
probably will order the new officers
to equip themselves with regulation
policemen's uniforms.
Mayor Keigley considers that Ger
tain objections against putting thu
men into uniforms no longer apply ant
: that the uniforms will be an advan
tage to the public in identifying thu
new officers.

Farmers who intend to seed alfalfa
this spring should be unusually care
ful in the selection of their seed, ac-
cording to Prof. G. j. Willard, of the
farm crops department at Ohio State
University. Due to small supply of
domestic alfalfa seed during the last
few years, he declared, the market
has been flooded with seed imported
from foreign countries. The most
prominent varieties of the large i'm
portations, according to him, include
Turkestan alfalfa. This, Willard as
serted, is less hardy than the common
varieties grown In Ohio.

Through. tests for the control of the
striped cucumber beetle made by the
department of entomology, Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station, in it's field labora-
terry at Marietta, material that acts
as a poison, repellent, and fertilizer
has been developed.
The mixture is composed of one
part of calcium arsenate, and twenty
parts of land plaster This was found
to be superior to twenty-five differ
ent materials and compounds tested
for controlling the stiped cucumber
beetle.
The dust may be applied with a
simple shaker, made by punching u
score of holes with an eight-penny
nail into the bottom of half.gallon
tin can. Tow thee-foot wooden strips
nailed upright on the can and opposite
each other may be joined above with
a round piece of wood to serve as a
handle.
The young plants should be aided
in their fight by crumbling the crusty
soil over them, and the first applica-
tion of dust made before the beetles
come. Additional applications are
necessary when new plants come up;
when the plants outgrow the dust, and
when dust is removed by rain. Dur
ing fair weather, two applications a
week are adequate, except during the
first week, when several light dust
ings usually are necessary, when the
beetles are plentiful and eating heavi-
ly. During rainy periods, dusting af-
ter each rain is necessary. Usually
ten to twelve applications a season
are required. The dust adheres best
when the plants are wet with dew or
rain.

Raising chicks is race between
the growth of the chicks and that of
harmful bacteria" says Professor f..
s. Jacoby, head of the poultry depart
ment at Ohio State University. A
growing chick, according to him, is
less liable to contract disease, and the
greatest factor for success in brood
ing chicks is to start them growing
and keep them growing as fast as pos
sible. II given plenty ,of room to- ex-
ercise, and the right kind of food so
that the chicks can begin their ca
reer with strong, healthy bodies. they
will be well fitted to combat the com
mon diseases, he said.
"The danger from bacteria begins
with the first particle of food eaten,
and lasts until the chick Is two to
three weeks of age" Prof, Jacoby con
tinued. "There are several kinds Of
bacteria which act in the digestive
tract and cause bowel trouble and 9th

the Bacillus Palora. II causes white

AMERI(,lJS HOLDS
FAST POET TEAM
Only In Final Minutes Of Game
Was Lanier Able To Gross
Goal

FigLsing to the last ditch, Ameri-
Gus held the strong Poets of Macon
in leash yesterday at the Playground
until the final few minutes Of the
game when the visitors, profiting by
a tumble, executed two well directed
forward passes and by their aerial
work won the game to 0.
Earlier in the quarter Americus
had attempted field goal which ap-
peared to have gone, over but not
allowed by the officials.
Lanier was fast and had some clev-
crly masked plays, particularly their
forward passes. On the other hand
Americus had the visitors worried
every minute with a complete repe-
toire of tricks that gained for the
more first down than the Poets were
able to assemble during the day.
1t would be folly to pick out any
particular star Of the game for the
boys, both the forwards and the
backs, played remarkably fine
game Of ball and except for the cost
ly tumble that gave Lanier the ball,
late in the game, on Americas 80
yard line, the game would have end
cd beyond a doubt a scoreless tie.
The fast work of the backs, the
hard tackling Of the ends and tack
les and the general all round de-
fensive work of both teams featured
the contest.
The game for the most part see
sawed up and down the field with
first Americus and then Lanier
threatening to score but with both
tea7;s showing 4 stonewall defense
Wncn they got within their own dan
ger zone.
Miss Ann Heys and Miss Mary
Elizabeth Easterlin were attractive
sponsors for the Americas team.
