ONE-THIRD OF CONSUMER DECLARATIONS
FOR COAL ALREADY FILED AT CONRAD'S

A large proportion of coal users
here are already completing their
consumer declarations for the rat
ioning of coal next winter, Edgar
j. Conrad, Marysville coal and
building supplies dealer, reports.
Approximately 1000 consumers
should file their declarations with
him, and an estimated one-third
of these have already done so, Mr..
Conrad estimates.
This is in direct contrast to the
situation in general throughout
Ohio as reported in a statewide
survey of coal dealers. Generally,
dealers are expressing concern
over failure of the consuming
public to file consumer decorations
in order to asure delivery of next
winters coal.
To Guarantee Delivery
individuals who file consumer
declarations before May Is are
entitled to receive, before Oct. Is,
next, at least 80 percent of their
normal annual requirments. Deal

ing to spend a 60-day furlough
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ur-

W. FIFTH ST. PLOT
TO BE HANDICAPPED

Board to supervise local parks
and Fairgrounds has been appoint
ed by Mayor Asman in compliance
with a recent decision of Village
Council. On the board are:
E. II. CreViston, chairman; II,
j. Coleman, Councilman F. G.
BittikOfer and F. G. Magsig.
Principal duty of the new COM
mission will be to develop and
landscape the village property at
the intersection of w. Fifth and
w. Fourth SITS.
This property was left to the
city by the late DR.. S. N. McCloud,
to be Handicapped and present an
attractive approach to motorists
entering MarySville from the west,
Council two weeks ago had de-
cided to sub-divide the tract into
building lots and sell it, but con-
siderable protest was received to
this announcement and it was de-
cided, instead, to carry out the
late DR.. McCloud'S intentions so
far as possible.
The Park Board will also have
charge of the Big Four Park play
ground, on E. Eighth st.

FERTILIZER ON FARMS

The total amount of fertilizer
used on Ohio farms was 3O6, 500
tons in 1885, was 1863, 800 tons in
1910, and was 593,S57 tons in 1945.
In addition to the great increase in
total tonnage, the 1945 applications
were more effective per ton becaus I
farmers, then, were using higha~
grades of fertilizer containing more
plant food per ton.
The general death rate in rural
Ohio, based on the 1910 census re-
port, was 4 per cent higher than in
urban centerz wiz $500 or more
population, and the infant death
rate was 6 per cent higher in the
country than in cities. The death
rate of infants in Ohio rural dis
tricts was SO per cent higher than
in the city of Akron, which ha~
the lowest infant death arte in the
state.

financed at lower interest rates
than the last one.
The war bond rate in 1918 was
414 per cent. From a practical
standpoint those who participated
in the issues of the other war can
recall to what extent their savings
were useful in the years which
followed. Slightly fewer people
bought bonds in the 9th War Loan
than in the 5th.
Of the people eligible to buy
bonds, 20 per cent bought in the
second drive. % per cent in the
third, 45 per cent in the 4th, AZ

in the 9Th. In the 7th War Loan
Drive an effort will be made to put

nave been various reasons for the
above percentages. The drives
nearest Christmas, for example,
had an advantage because bonds
were frequently given as gifts.
After the victory in Europe the
need for buying bonds will still
exist. A survey showed that sc per

be true; "a per cent do not, and

FIVE SEEK ELECTION
TO VILLAGE POSTS
Filing Deadline Wednesday;

er Asman.
Under election laws of Ohio, pri-
maries for local elections are re-
quired only in communities of
more than 25OO population and
then only in the event of contest
