crop, it was announced Saturday by

Gently and which has better keeping
qualities" Chairman Patterson said.

battled overhead for four hours. He
said his father and his brothers, 10
and Il years old, are in different
parts of England.
The elder brother was evacuated

Out OF Wrong Side
OF Bed

Mike Plavi, %, of Masontown, Pa,
hoped out of the wrong side of bed.
He wasn't cross for the rest of the
day but he was considerably en-
barrassed, perplexed and slightly in
jured.
The youth was one of 500 CCC
enrolles enroute through Lima on a
Pennsylvania westbound train. He
was having a disturbing dream, and
shattered the window beside his
lower berth. The next thing he
knew, he was wide-awake and lying
along the railroad right-ofway, and
clad only in his underwear.
He was taken to a hospital for
treatment of a cut on his left arm
and bruises on both feet. His
clothes were returned to Lima after
police notified railroad authorities.
He continued on his way to the CCC
camp in New Mexico.

Cigaret Prices Down

Lima cigaret dealers reduced the
price of most brands to 16 cents
Thursday.
Shortly after the reduction was an
nounced, the U. S. Treasury de-
partment issued bulletin warning
merchants iagainst excessive price in
creases on commodities subject to in
ternal revenue taxes for national de-
fense.
The bulletin said reports had been
received that some dealers had rep
resented to their customers that GER
tain price boosts were due solely to
the imposition of defense taxes. Such
misrepresentation would cause a
dealer to be liable to a $1,000 fine,
the bulletin stated.

Escape-But No Need

Within half block of each other.
the Nickel Plate and Pennsylvania
railroad tracks run parallel crossing
s. Main street in Delphos, and the
nearness caused scare among pas
sengers in an auto and trailer.
The vehicle was travelling east and
the auto was on the Pennsylvania
tracks when the driver heard an en-
gine whistle souding nearby. Yelling
warning, he and four other auto
and trailer passengers-men and
women-scrambled to the ground and
off the tracks.
Another whistle was heard and the
five were relieved when they saw a
locomotive crossing the street-on
the Nickel Plate tracks.

Police Shun Bee
Roundup


Pedestrian and vehicular traffic on
Lima's public square were normal
again last Thursday after hectic
afternoon caused when a swarm of
bees chose a parked automobile about
which to gather.
Police refused fatty to charge the
humming swarm, and called apiarists
in an effort to draw the bees away
from the car of Miss Leila Shidec6er
of Sidney. Meanwhile merchants
watched through closed doors the
pedestrians who carefully crossed the
street to avoid the bees.
Bee experts lured some of the bees
into boxes, but could not catch the
queen bee. They drove them from
the car, however, and the swarm
moved to the gable of a nearby
building, where they remained until
nightfall.
