RICHARD M. CONNIN

Richard Mcclure Connin, son of
John and Jane Burgoyne Connin, was
born in Bryan, Ohio, April 20, 1864.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Rebecca Thomas, whose home was
near Bryan, on the 22nd day of
January, 1883. After sixteen years
residence in Bryan, Mr.. and Mrs.
Connin with their daughter, Zona,
moved to Wauseon, Ohio, where they
made their home for five years.
Thence they removed to Hillsdale,
Michigan where they remained for
ten years. About a year ago the par
ents came to Wauseon and made their
home with their daughter, Mrs,
Joseph Ham. Here, it was hoped,
Mr.. Connin might recover mis- health
which had been failing through the
past six years. A pernicious anemia
however, thwarted the efforts Of
physicians and the solicitous care of
the family. He died at the city hos
pital on Sunday morning. January
10Th, 1922 at the age of 81 years, 8
months and 9 days.
He was member of a large fam
lily of brothers and sisters. Of the
fifteen, one brother and two sisters
have preceded him. Those remain
ing are: A. w. and Harry of Bryan,
Rollin of Pioneer, Fred and Charles
of Toledo, Otis of Wauseon and three
half brothers, W. A. and Lyman of
Bryan and Clarence of Paulding. The
sisters are Mrs. George Feltz of Elk
hart and Mrs. Earl EVAN of Bryan,
Ohio.
He was a good husband and father.
Naturally quiet and thoughtful ne
maintained cheerfulness which will
long be remembered. He was very
fond of his two grandchildren,
Robert Connin Ham and Charles
Mcclure Ham, spending much of his
time with them.
Mr.. Connin was a lover of music,
especially the instrumental, and when
in health, he had been manager and
member of at least six different
bands. He was for many years a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Funeral services were held Tues
day at the Congregational Church,
conducted by Rev. Dunham and Rev.
Fish. Interment in Wauseon ceme-

MONEY IN CHICKENS

While scores OF Wauseon people
raise chickens successfully on a
small scale, we believe there is
scarcely a man in town who has not
at some time or another dreamed of
fortunes to be made in raising them
as a business. They have gone so far
as to work out on paper, too, just
how they could take a dozen eggs
and an old hen and STRAIT in busi-
ness that would within a few years
become fiourishing. But when it is
put to practice failures are many.
But we read recently where a
Maryland woman has proven an ex-
ception to the rule. She started
with 235 hens and last year netted
a profit of $11O5. She sold on mar
ket 1,444 dozens of eggs for which
she received $541.1S; 975 setting
eggs, which brought $3.50; 156
spring chickens which yielded $150.88;
92 old hens sold for $13O.75 and 3,015
day-old chicks brought in $542.70. In
addition to this, she kept $50 chicks
to raise. Her expenses, not counting
her time and work, amounted to
$31896, giving her better than pro-
fit of a thousand dollars.
Raising chickens for the market is
a long-hour job. Done properly it
leaves little time for recreation or
amusement. Incubators come off at
irregular hours, feeding must be done
scientifically and at regular hours,
and disease and four-footed foes must
be guarded against what unrelaxed
vigilance. Figuring the time the
Maryland woman put into the busi-
ness and the net profit she got out of
it, shows she got very little for her
time, though many regard it as fair
pay. And even at that, she cleared
little over a thousand dollars where
hundreds of others lose everything
they put into the Chicken game"

The REFUND
COMMISSION

The refunding bill as passed by the
Senate authorizes the creation of a
composed of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and four others
to be appointed by the President with
the approval of the Senate, which
shall have authority to
negotiate with the representatives
of other nations and agree upon a
plan of funding the war obligations
owed to this country. The principal
limitations placed upon the powers
of the commission are that the bonds
accepted must be payable in not to
exceed 25 years, and must bear not
less than Az per cent interest. The
bonds of one nation cannot be ac-
cepted in lieu of the debt of another.

MEETING OF
THE CITY DADS

Monday evening was the regular
meeting of City Council and all men,
bers were present with Mayor
Oakley presiding. It was quite a
lengthy session as there were sew
eral things to be discussed.
Mr.. J. L. Socie's resignation was
accepted and A. E. Harger has been
elected and sworn in as a new coun-
ell member.
Elm Street
An ordinance has been passed to
levy a tax on the town to pay a
share of the improvement of West
Elm Street. The resolution that was
passed plans for the widening of the
street. If the town has to help pay
for this improvement then the bust
ness men are going to be hit just as
hard as any one else and they should
have a voice in the proceedings as
we'll as others, and it is quite sure
that none of them will object as the
Improvement is very necessary.
Bonds Sold
The bonds advertised for sale for
East Chestnut and East Elm Streets
Improvement were sold to W. L.
Sladen and Co., for their bid of $780,
954.13. They were the highest bidders
on bonds in the sum of $26,803.
The $4,000 bonds were sold to
Tucker Robinson and Co., for their
private bid of $45,625. That means a
premium of $1625.
Bids were also received from the
banks here for the deposits and daily
cash. The First National Bank bid
2A per cent and the Peoples State
Bank bid 21a per cent. The Peoples
Bank were awarded the deposits on
their bid being the highest.
Buy New Fire Hose
Mr.. C. H. Sutphen of Columbus
met with the Firemen to discuss the
purchase of new hose and in company
with the chief they met with Coun-
Gil and discussed the purchase of more
hose which was badly in need. The
kind of hose that Mr.. Sutphen ad-
vised buying was a gum treated dou-
BILE thickness. The Firemen have
been observing this hose for some
years and recommended that Council
purchase same. Four hundred and
fifty feet of this hose was purchased
for $495. This makes $3.50 feet of
good hose that the fremen will have
to combat fires with. The purchase
was made from C. H. Sutphen and
Son of Columbus.
A. M. Bundy was given permit to
move chicken coop.
Napoleon men asked council for
space to put up advertising sign on
main street. Council on motion by A.
E. Harger voted to lay this matter
on the table indefinitely.
Regular claim ordinance allowed.

DRAINAGE
z SYSTEMS
Beats Having to Do Work Over
Again, Says Farm Engineer in
New Bulletin

"Wherever systematic drainage IS
needed, a carefully thought out and
recorded plan for the whole farm
should precede the digging of any
ditches."
This is the theme of a bulletin on
Drainage Layouts, written by Virgil
Overholt, extension specialist in
agricultural engineering at the Ohio
State University and just issued to
the public.
Prof. Overholt states that so much
slip-shod work is done that Is per-
cent of the drainage undertaken in
Ohio today is, of necessity, replace
ment work, "Hit-or-miss drainage
will not last" he declares.
The bulletin discusses types of
drainage systems adapted to differ
ent types of country; estimates costs
of installation, and cites definite ex-
amples wher tile lines have been
carefully planned and economically
laid down on Ohio farms. The pub
lication is free to any Ohio res;d ant
applying to the Publications Depart
ment of the Extension Service, Col
umbus.

SHOOTING ARRAY
NEAR SWANTON

AS a result of a gun battle staged
on a farm near Swanton late Monday
two men, Harry Mariti-
gan, SO and Atltish Simonian, 29 are
in the Lucas County Infrmary from
the wounds received.
Both lived on the farm until three
months ago when Simonian moved his
family to Akron. He borrowed money
from his partner before leaving and
later on paid it back. He wrote sew
eral letters asking for a receipt but
no attention was paid to them.
Early yesterday morningn Simonian
came to the farm and was in hiding
in the barn waiting for Maritigian to
come and feed his stock. When he
entered he leaped from the haymow
and struck him on the head with a
club. This failing to lay him out he
fired three shots, one striking him in
the lung. The wounded man stag
gered to the house and returned with
a shot gun. He opened fire, sending
several shots of which every one
went true.
Simonian is in a dying condition
from wounds, while Maritigian is in
a serious condition from loss of blood.

A law which will allow city commission to

In the hands Of real representatives OF the peo-

its arrogant overriding of the public will. 1t con-

HITCHCOCK'S SURPRISE.

The republican party has never been against big
business in the sense of wishing to Illustrate big
operations. 1t has always accepted as an economic
fact that large operations and centralized control
spelled lower production costs. But the republic
partyghas never stood for combinations in restraint
of trade or combinations effected for the purpose
OF controlling federal legislation The Sherman
rison. and the work accomplished by the Roosevelt
administration stand witnesses to this assertion.
The democratic party has long tainted the
publican party with favorng policies which would
put the little fellow out of business grind the work.
ingman into the mire, and reduce the consumer
to the stage of peasantry. The democrats have
always claimed to be the friends of the small opera
tor, nd the advocates Of democracy in industry.
1t came surprise, therefore, when in the
debate on the bill authorizing agricultural associa-
tons, one Of the leaders of the democratic party.
Senator Hitchcock, out in advocacy of
large monopoly. my judgment is" said he that
the supply of milk of big city ought not to be
ought to be In some way controlled. believe it
could be controlled = One Of the reasons why
the cost of living is great in city is the awful
waste Of having hundreds of grocery stores doing
what few should do. dozens OF milk men doing
what few could do etc.
The republican party has sought to prevent mo-
nopolies but it has the value of large-scale
operation Now Hitchcock comes out for absolute
monopolies. He goes the republicans one better.
