minds and creates a determination
to avoid such trouble in the fu-
ture as much as possible. With
horses, getting a corn crop along
to the third cultivation requires
about II man hours and 1872 horse
hours per acre, but the mans time
can be cut to 6.2 hours per acre
by using a tractor So hours for all
the work except planting.
The greatest saving in man
hours can be made in harvesting
corn. which required an average
of 1913 hours per acre to cut by
hand and husk from the shock. A
PROV corn picker harvests an acre
of corn with an average expendi-
ture of three man hours of time.
There also is considerable diff
ference in physical wear and tear

Farmers, like other folks some
times may express a wish for the
good old days; but agricultural en-
gineers at Ohio State university
say that one of the easiest ways to
start an argument in a farm meet
ing now is to suggest that some
Ohio farms may be getting over
stocked with power machinery.
Any kindly thoughts of the old
team of horses does not balance
keen memories of long hours in
the fields trying to get the work
done and the time spent afterward
in caring for the team. The agri-
cultural engineers calculate an av-
erage of 9.8 man hours per acre
was spent in preparing the seed
bed and planting an acre of small
grains with horses but the same
work can be done i'm 3.9 hours with
power tools.

years is stored Up in farmers

SENTIMENT FAVORS
YOUTH CENTER

Overwhelming sentiment in faV-
or of youth recreation center for
Marysville is indicated in letters
which have been received by Mrs,
Beriah Edwards, Marysville Rt. A,
during the past 21a weeks. Sew
eral persons have pledged dona-
tons amounting to more than $3.50.
Although Mrs. Edwards had o.
riginally asked that all letters be
sent to her prior to Jan. Is, it has
been necessary to extend this
deadline somewhat so that organi-
cations not meeting before then
could have opportunity to discuss
the project. Response from several
of these groups is still to be re-
ceived.
Marysville Senior high school
poll has been completed, with fav-
orable response from about Is per-
cent of the students. Every other
school in the county is being con-
tacted by Mrs. Edwards for re-
action of the boys and girls.
Typical of the comments which
Mrs. Edwards has had concerning
the project is that of Mrs. w. P.
Beightler, mother of Maj. Gen.
Robert S. Beightler, formerly of
Marysville. Wishing the project
success, Mrs. Beightler pointed out
that when she was raising her
children, there was no one who
took interest in the general well
fare of the community's boys and
girls.
Biggest problem which seems to
be presenting itself is in finding a
suitable location. Every building
in MarySville is either occupied or
under lease, but Mrs. Edwards is
attempting to get a line on some
suitable spot.
So that full information may be
available to everyone, Mrs. Ed
wards has had a complete outline
of the project printed, which is
being mailed to all schools and or
CARNATIONS, and anyone else who
may be interested.

ARMY CHAPLAIN TO SPEAK MONDAY
NTRINITY CHURCH ON MISSION PROGRAM

Colonel Grotefend in telling this
story throughout the nation.
Having spent 35 months on for
eign duty in the Pacific area, Chap
lain Grotefend had an opportunity
to observe the impaSt of the for
eign mission program on the prim-
tive cultures of native peoples. He
was able to observe the success of
the Christian Gospel among prim-
tive tribes as well as to study the
every day life of those natives still
in the heather state. Among mis-
many conversations with natives
there was that with the native in
Malaita. Asked about CannibaliSm,
the native admitted that he had
eaten many men and enjoyed the
taste of human flesh, which was
similar to that of a pig. However,
the native announced he preferred
black men to white. This, Chaplain
Grotefend Said was a most COM
forting choice to him!
While in the Pacific, Chaplain
Grotefend was stationed in Hawaii
for two months and then partici-
pated with his division in the in
vaSion of the SolomonS and the
engagement at Guadalcanal. He re-
turned to the States from Okinawa
and is giving of his leave time 20
participate in this speaking tour
for Foreign Mission Reconstruction
and Development.
Chaplain Grotefend was awarded
the Bronze Star on two occasions
and received five concentrations.
He also wears the Pre-Pearl Har-
Dor, ASiatic-Pacific and American
Theatre Ribbons. A native of Pitts
burg, Pa, he intends to return 10
civilian life as a parish pastor up
on his release from active duty.
All are cordially invited to hear
Chaplain Grotefend and see the pic
ture "Tiwon." 1t is open to the
public and no offering will be TAX

BOARD APPROVES
$4,000 TO RUN
SCHOOLS FOR 1916
Annual Appropriation Set Up
In Special Meeting; Bus
Situation Is Discussed

Appropriations of approximately
$4,000 to operate the MarySville
Exempted Village schools for the
coming year were approved by the
Marysville Board of Education
during a special meeting held
Thursday night.
Largest single item on the ap-
preparation ordinance, according to
Clerk L. C. Brubaker, is approx
imately S55,000 for teachers sal
aries. Retirement of school bonds
takes another large proportion OF
the total, while building mainten-
ance and the schools hot lunch
program also will call for SubStan-
tial expenditures.
During the meeting, the Board
members discussed the school bus
situation at considerable length.
No action was taken at this time,
but the present bus drivers have
been invited by the Board to at
tend its next meeting when the
matter will be discussed further.
Due to wartime conditions, it has
been impossible to obtain new
buses for several years, and four
of the five which serve the Ma
rysville schools will probably have
to be replaced by next fall.
Robert Wagner, member of the
Marysville faculty until called in
to the Army more than three years
ago, was formally approved by
the Board to replace Miss Emily
Kuhlis, of Columbus, who resign
ed He will teach history and pub
lie speaking, and have charge of
the Senior boys home room. Mr.
Wagner resumed his teaching po-
sition last week.
Clerk of Court Harold Cameron,
chairman of the Infantile Para
lySis program in Union county
was given permission to use the
school building for a benefit pro-
gram Feb. 2.
Complete details have not yet
been worked out by Mr.. Cameron
bat he is trying TO have Richwooe
and Magnetic Springs play a benet
fit basketball game in the gymnas'
ium. Other tentative events vii.
include dancing in the recreation
room and games and motion pic
lures in other rooms.

The letter, explaining difficulties
which the Telephone co. has en-
countered in making repairs and
improvements to the service here.
and promising relief in the near
future, follows:
Dear Mr.. Asman:
/ thought l would give you
report on our progress in Marys-
vile. We put switchboard man
in Marysville, as promised the day
of the meeting, to help Mr.. Hor-
ton catch up on the OVeThauling
of the automatic equipment. The
amount of work required was in
excess of our expectations and he
has been there everSinCe, and the
two of them have worked diligent-
ly and corrected a lot of things
which must have most certainly
given you tremendous improve
ment in your telephone service.
Today, two more men went in
TO rebuild the sending equipment
which should be completed by the
end of this week which will give
you great improvement on the
complaint of wrong numbers and
no answers.
Relative to the increased capac-
ity of the equipment, l am sorry
we were not able to complete the
schedule because, while we did
start on the job as promised, we
found quite quantity of improve
nent which should be made to the
lew and additional equipment
| which required considerable en-
| gineering, and the apparatus re-
ceived had to be all rebuilt, and
this work has been going on in
our shops. We also found there
were ten important relays Tequir-
ed which were not in the shipment.
We are pleased to advise our
crew will begin on next Monday
the installation of equipment re-
quired to improve the service be-
tween Milford Center and MaryS-
Vile From the present outlook
the work will probably require a
month instead of a week as we
originally anticipated.
l am sure you have found a much
! improved service the past month,
and while probably not always per-
/! feet, you will find it much better
at the end of another thirty days.
Yours very truly,
George B. Quatman, President
