And these are white roses IN place OF the red!

When Acid Indigestion, Gas on
Stomach or Heartburn make you
feel uncomfortable or embarrass
you, try Alka-Seltzer, which con-
tains alkalizing buffers and so
helps counteract the associated
Excess Stomach Acidity.
But the relief of these minor
stomach upsets is only a small
part of what you can expect
Alka-Seltzer to do for you. You
will find it effective for Pain Re-
lief in Headache, Neuralgia, Colds
and Muscular Aches and Pains.
It contains an analgesic, (sodium
acetyl salicylate), made more
prompt and effective in its pain
relieving action by alkaline buffer
salts.
When hard work or strenuous
exercise make you feel tired and
dragged out, enjoy the refresh
ing effect of a glass of sparkling,

New Patent Uses Glass
Wool to Improve Soil

Aimed to prevent soil erosion
and speed the growth of plants,
a new use for glass wool is dis
closed in a patent (No. 2,192,-
939) awarded to James Slayter
and John H. Thomas of Newark.
The patent is assigned to the
Owens-Corning Fiberglas Com
pany.
In places where it is difficult
to grow grass, such as on steep
banks, mats of glass wool laid
on the soil like a blanket, after
it has been loosened and the
seeds planted, will prevent wa
ter, wind and birds from dispers-
ing the seeds, it is said.
In addition, it is pointed out
that the glass fibers may be
made from minerals containing
calcium, magnesium, phosphates,
sulfides, potassium and other
elements which speed the growth
of plants. AS the glass wool
slowly disintegrates the growing
plants utilize these elements.
The patent states that the
mats protect the plants from
frost and prevents too-early bud
ding.

The regulations for the inland

stand as follows:
With the landowners consent,
person may fish with not more
than one trot line, containing

ceed 80 hooks, and no two hooks
less than three feet apart. One

tached to one bank, or tree, or
root growing thereon of the
stream, and the other end shall

island or peninsula, or tree, or
root growing thereon, or to
stake, post or snag, or other OBJ
struction extending above the

trot line shall not cross the
stream or any part of the stream
more than once. A waterproof

Thirteen Licking
County Farmers
Aid Tree Program

Ten thousand or more trees
will be planted this spring on
Licking county farms whose
owners are cooperating with the
Newark Soil Conservation Camp,
according to E. E. Ebert, field
supervisor at the camp.
The present program calls for
317,9 900 trees and 10000 shrubs
to be planted on land designated
as potential timber and wlldllte
areas. The cooperators will fur
nish $4,000 trees as their part
of the agreement.
A mixture of red, white and
pitch pines are the principle spe-
cies to be planted due to the Sc
rious erosion problem on the ma
jority of the areas being con
verted to timber. Black locust
is also being planted as future
source of fence posts. The 10
Gust paintings in practically all
cases will be supplemented with

Publication OF Holmes Letter
Reveals Other Local Admirers

More than one person in Ne
wark and Licking county has a
definite and keen interest in the
works of DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the writer and poet.
This fact was brought to light
following publication of letter
written by the author to Miss
Jesse Clark, Mt. Vernon, in the
March 7 issue of the Newark
Leader. The letter is now in the
possession of DR.. Victor R. Tur-
ner.
Holmes has distinct hold on
literary life of this community
as we'll as in others, and Holmes
lana, in any form, is sought and
priced by fortunate owners of
it.
Among these enthusiasts is E.
C. Wright, president of the First
National Bank. Mr.. Wright, it
seems, takes great delight in not
only quoting the learned doctor,
but in having others do so too.
He enjoys on occasion picking
up a family scrap book, given to
him by his mother on Christmas,
1879, and reading Holmes to his
fullest desire.
Usually he hits upon one
poem, '"The Boys" written by
Holmes on the occasion of fes-
tive gathering of his old class
mates, "The Boys" of Harvard.
And it first appeared in the At
lantic Monthly in February,
1861.
Another local light is shed on
the Holmes subject in an indi-
rect manner in the fact that Miss
Mary Sprague, Newark, daugh-
ter of the late Henry D. Sprague
and aunt of Mrs. George Upson,
wrote a best-seller titled, can
Earnest Trifler," in the 1905.
The book centered so much at
tention around Miss Sprague as
literary figure that she was in
vited to attend breakfast. Civ

the 10th birthday of DR.. Holmes.
Attendance there marked a high

from the property must be used
for retiring bonded indebtedness
or for some permanent improve

superintedent, pointed out.
Allotment of school insurance

Request of the flood control
division for permission to erect
a levee along White field was
tabled by the board. The pro-
posed levee would necessitate
the removal of trees, and would
cut 20 feet from the field, men,
bers observed in deferring ac-
tion. Also tabled was request
of the Y. M. C. A. for summer
use of Everett and White fields
for soft ball and baseball
leagues.
The board received and filed

plumbing installations in the

point in her life.
Mr.. Wright will not hazard a
guess as to the correct age of
the scrap book he now prizes.
Sufficient is the fact that it was
begun by his mother and con-
tains clippings believed to have
been published as early as 1860.
1t is colorfully illustrated with
photographs of literary lights of
the time, is indexed, and shows
remarkable preservation.
Among the clippings one per-
sonage stands out-Dr. Holmes.
Of all the masters archived
therein, Holmes works dominate.
1t shows, too, that Mr.. Wright
arrived at his reverence and es-
TEEN for the man through heri-
tage. Byron, Keats, Shelley are
represented in face and in fact,
but their various works are sub
servient to the old master Of wit
and philosophy.
The poem, "The Boys" upon
which Mr.. Wright showers his
favor, shows Holmes as buff
foon. The mocker of big names.
In short, the debunker. Each
stanza was aimed at some partic-
ular classmate who had risen in
life to repute and fame. 1t
would be impossible to arrive
correctly at their Identification
in each case. 1t is obvious, how
ever, that reference in the eighth
verse of the rhyme was to Sam
uel Francis Smith, author of
america"
1t would be interesting to
know how many persons in Ne
wark and Licking county follow
the path of DR.. Turner and Mr..
Wright in possessing and cher
ishing Holmes material. No
doubt there are many, and
a pooling of the material would
make for mighty fetching en-
tertainment for the person priv
ileged to view it.
