Conservation Head
quarters In Lima

About 20 federal employees will be
sent to Lima, within the next six
weeks to direct the work of the soil
conservation service in western Ohio
it was announced by d. t. Herman
state co-ordinator of the soil conser-
walton department.
Official approval has been received
on only two of the transfers-those
of C. L. Parish and H. r. Heath
man, both from Hamilton. Parish
who has been in charge at Hamil-
ton will have additional duties when
he takes over at Lima. Heathman
will continue as forester.
The new office at Lima will have
control of five soil conservation
camps, six drainage camps, and the
soil conservation demonstration area
in Butler county. Full responsibility
for the drainage camps was placed
in the soil conservation department
July /. Previously they had been
under the bureau of agricultural en-
gineering, according to Herman.

More Mortgages Are
Cancelled

A nominal reduction in the num-
Der of real estate conveyances and
the number of real estate mortgages
recorded and an increase in the
number of mortgage cancellations is
indicated in the annual report of
County Recorder Russell Barnhill
for the twelve months ending June
80, 1889.
Of significance in the report is the
fact that farm land sold for slightly
higher value per acre than the year
before in those cases where the
deeds indicated the consideration
paid, chiefly in the case of public
sales of various kinds.
The report shows 6S farm deeds
filed on which consideration was in
dicated, covering 4,471 acres of land
at a total indicated sale value of
S25O,942 or an average of $56.11 per
acre during the year ending June 80,
1889.
During the previous year there
were 88 such deeds filed conveying
5,347 acres at a total of $263.759
or an average of S49.32 an acre.

WPA Staff Is Cut

Withdrawal of two WPA Toledo
district office employees working in
Allen county is expected to be an
nounced within a few days under a
trimming program of WPA rolls
in northwestern Ohio.
The reduction, it is believed, will
not affect Allen county's permanent
administrative staff of 16 timekeep-
ers, project supervisors and engineer
clerks.
The district publicity office, headed
by Richard Leahy, was abolished
and dismissals included five super
vising timekeepers, an area super
visor, one planning supervisor and
eight other operations workers.
Schmuhl also disbanded the district
accounting office, stating that work
would be taken over in the Colum-
bus office on August l.

Farmer Has Meteor
Fragments

Marvin Ford, farmer of north of
Roundhead in western Hardin
county, this week was proudly dis
playing a five-pound section of a
meteor which he found seven years
ago on a hillside of his farm. He
forgot about it until the recent fur
ore was created by meteor which
blazed a path through northern skies
and came to earth in Canada.
Ford said the section of meteor
was one of four pieces which buried
themselves in the hillside and were
washed to the surface by repeated
rains. He said he had taken the
fragment of carbon-like rock to au-
thorities and had been assured il
was indeed a meteor.

City Employees Go
Without Pay

Doubt was expressed by Kenton
city officials as to when municipal
employees, who did not receive their
semi-monthly checks last Saturday,
would be paid.
Failure to pay the city employees
came when a transfer of funds from
the city general fund to the sink
ing fund, involving S14, ,503.20, was
made following a motion passed last
week by the sinking fund board of
trustees, authorizing a written de-
mand upon the city auditor and city
treasurer to transfer the unpaid bal
ance into the sinking fund. City
Auditor Merle Fleming said the
transfer was made in accordance
with the demand of the board.

Tries To Jump House
In Car

George Benjamin, 26, of Lima,
made his auto sail through the air,
but it didn't quite clear the top
of a house.
When police came to his rescue
the car was hanging nose down,
with the rear bumper hooked onto
the caves of a cottage. They re-
moved Benjamin from his precar-
ious position, then cut short his
thanks by charging him with reck-
less driving.
Benjamin said his brakes failed
him as he rounded a turn at Jack
son and Eureka streets, and he
tried to steer between two houses to
avoid crash. A slight embank-
ment threw the rear of the car into
air and against the roof of one of
the houses.

When Russell Snodgrass of Lima

fcult target to hit, but after several
swings, he managed to subdue it
with a broom.
