Mr.. Hum Wednesday in speaking of
the subject We often have in

of certain varieties, and sometimes
we are at a loss to know where to
send such buyers In my opinion
a book of this kind will help our To-

and bring more outside dollars to
Morgan county.
Fifteen hundred copies of the di-
rectory will be furnished without
charge to the breeders and farmers
of Morgan county.
It is important that this directory
be complete and accurate, and any
owner of purebred stock in the
county, who has one animal or more
and who has not filled out blank
is urged to communicate with Mr..

A GOOD LIFE CLOSED

When j. T. Henderson came to
Oberlin more than half a century
ago he at once entered into the ac-
tive life of the community and be.
came a leader. His leadership be
came more pronounced with the
passage of years. None of his many
friends looked upon him as an old
man despite the fact he had round
ed out three-quarters OF a century
and more of useful living. He, by
his activity, made it plain that he
had not reached the period of old
age when his final sickness came.
All his life he looked upon work
not as burden but as a task to be
accomplished cheerfully. He ap-
parently had energy at his com
mand at all times in the course of
his business and educational career,
which covered period of fifty-flve
years. In the course of that time
he built up a business school recog
nized as among the very best IN
America. He found time to be an
outstanding leader in the church
work of the community and served
with remarkable success as presi-
dent of The Peoples Banding Com
pany from the time of it's organiza-
ton forty years ago to the day of
his death. While success marked
his efforts in the field Of education
as we'll as in the field Of banking,
those who had the good fortune to
know Mr.. Henderson intimately
based their liking for him on his
fine character as a Christian gem
tleman. His record of good living
should be an inspiration to his
neighbors here in Oberlin for many
years to come.-Editorial in Ober-
lin News Tribune.

GROUSE FROM CANADA

Efforts to secure ruffed grouse
for distribution in southern Ohio
by the Ohio division of conserva-
tion and natural resources has
brought the promise of an Alberta,
Canada, firm to furnish between
200 and 800 pair. The firm, which
is said to be the only firm on the
North American continent able to
furnish any ruffed grouse at all,
will trap the birds, paying a royal
ty to the game commission of the
province
The birds, when received in Ohio,
will be placed in propagation areas
to be established by the division,
to be trapped the following year for
distribution Since they probably
will be received just before the open
season on grouse this fall it has
been decided that they should be
consigned to protected areas this
year.
