COUNTY All AWARD

Edgar Greenbaum, adviser and
All club member of the Victory
Producers Livestock club of I'm
ion township, has recently been de-
clared the Union county winner in
the national All dairy production
contest, sponsored by the Kraft

Greenbaum was awarded the All

clared state champions in All club
netic Springs; and Joyce M. O'Neil
standing All club members in 1945.
He was a member of the county
dairy judging team, which was de-

Judging and received a trip to the
national All club congress, held
in Chicago in early December. He
was also a member of the county

During 1915 there were several
opportunities for Union county All
club girls and boys to participate
in contests similar to the one in
which Greenbaum has been de-
clared winner. County agent, d.
B. Robinson, says similar contests
will be offered in 1916 and en-
courages all All club girls and
boys to participate.

LAST LAMB POOL
TOPS ALL RECORDS

Members of sheep and lambs
marketed through the Union coun-
ty lamb pool, held at the New
York Central yards in MarySville
on Feb. 7, far exceeded any pre-
viouS pool since the beginning of
this system of selling in Union
county, according to a statement
issued today by J. Blaine Harris,
member of the advisory committee
of the Union county Sheep I'M
prOVement association.
Eleven hundred and SiXty-nine
sheep and lambs were consigned by
thirty-four producers and choice
wOoIed lambs sold for SIC per
hundred, with the good grade
bringing S15.25. Fair to good lambs
brought S1425, with a few common
to fair selling at $1325. Choice
clipped lambs averaging slightly
over 100 pounds brought S14 and
a few sheep sold from 81 down,
Mr.. Harris said.
Gross weight of this consign-
ment was 1925 pounds or more
then 55i2 tons live weight and the
quality of the entire offering was
excellent. One consignment of A
clipped lambs averaging 100
pounds all placed in the blue or
choice grade, which is very unus-
uaI. This consignment of lambs
was sired by pure-bred rams.
The next pool will be held at
the New York Central yards in
MarySVille, on Thursday, Feb. %
and Melvin O. Kennedy will be in
charge of labor at the yards.

UNCLESAM RANCH
RAZED BY FIRE
Owner Plans To Rebuild
Tavern Near New California

Fire of undetermined origin COM
pletely destroyed the roadside
tavern "Uncle Sans Ranch" two
miles northwest of New California,
early Friday evening. Loss was es-
timated by r. G. Eisaman, owner,
to run several thousand dollars
The fire was discovered about
Z. pm. by a passing motorist and
]. F. Gugel, neighbor, called the
fire truck operated by the Plain
City Rural Fire Protection CO. Mr..
Eisaman and his neice, Mamie
F'eaSSei, were in Columbus at the
time of the fire They returned,
however, before the fire was COM
pletely extinguished.
Firemen from Plain City, as well
as neighbors and passing motorists
who volunteered their assistance,
battled to save other nearby build
ingS but the flames had gained
such headway in the tavern by the
time the fire was discovered that
it could not be saved The home
of Michel Wilder, just south of
the tavern was among the build
ings threatened for a time.
Mr.. Gugel used his tractor to
pull trailer belonging to Mr.. Els
aman from beside the tavern. John
Rupprecht, of Marysville Rt. 3, one
of the first motorists along after
the fire was discovered, carried the
cash register, containing $40, to-
safety. However, $75 in another
drawer inside the building was
burned, as were all other contents.
Truck drivers and motorists
were afraid to pass the building
for a time as smoke and occas-
ionally, flames were being blown
across the road by strong wind.
AS a result, traffic was held up for
some time.
In estimating the damage, Mr..
Eisaman said he plans to rebuild
as soon as possible. He carried no
insurance on the property, he said
The tavern was usually closed
on Fridays, and Mr.. EiSaman was
at a loss to explain how the fire
might have started,

FIRST SINCE JAN. 5
TO BELLEFONTAINE
Last-Quarter Rally Of
IL Points Wins For The
Chieftains In Contest Here

After having won seven straight
games and the Mid-State League
basketball championship, Mary
sville high school cagers dropped
their first game since Jan 8, last
Friday night when they were de-
feated AZ to 80 by Bellefontaine, in
the Marysville gym. Bellefontaine
Reserves also won, 30 to %.
A last quarter rally, in which the
Bellefontaine team scored IL points
was responsible for the Chieftans
victory here. The last quarter be-
gan with Marysville in front, 30
to 25, but Bellefontaine got hot"
as the period began and soon was
out in front and coasting to vic
tory.
The game started in a bad way
for Marysville, as the best the
Monarchs could do the first period
was four points on baskets by
Frank Diehl and Leo Scheiderer
During the same period, the visit
orS collected 10 points as Dysert
hit for two fielderS and one free
throw, Dearwester Gagged one bask-
ct and added point on a charity
toss, and Huber netted one fielder
Second Period Looks Good
The second period was just re-
versed with Marysviile getting 16
points to only four for the Chieft-
ans. The MonarchS scored in this
period on two baskets by Diehl,
Robinson, and Dean Scheiderer
while Diehl and Red Grimes each
got two free throws. Dearwester
and Huber each tailed for the Lo-
gan countians in this period, and
the first half ended with MaryS-
vile on top, 20 to IA, and local fans
breathing easier.
Things were just about even the
third quarter, as Bellefontaine got
IL points to 10 for the Monarchs.
Diehl tailed twice and Grimes and
Scheiderer each got one basket in
this period, while Diehl and Robin
son each got free throw But it
was apparent that the ChieftainS
had "perked up" considerably and
there was much uneaSineSs along
the Monarch bench.
AS the final period started, Belle
fontaine really begin turning on the
heat in proper fashion, and nothing
the locals could do slowed them
down. The wind-up was an easy
win in the home-stretch for the
visitors.
Reserve Game
Following his usual policy of
playing seniors and firSt-string
subs on the reserve team, Coach
Dodds Bellefontaine Reserves out
pointed Marysville's all-freshman
and sophomore team, 30 to %. The
score was tied at 6-all at the first
quarter, but Bellefontaine was "a
head 10 to 10 at half-time and 26
to Is at the third period. Evans
had seven points to lead for the
locals, while Peters was high for
Bellefontaine with 10.
Between halves of the Varsity
game, 33 baton twirlers, led by
Drum Majorettes Marian Nc
Cracken, Peggy Dowl and Joan
Streng put on an exhibition which
was well received by the fans. An
other unusual feature was the pre-
Sence of twin cheer leaders for the
two teams. June and Joan Foley
led the cheering for Marysville,
while Maurine and Marian lyman
performed a like chore for the Wis
itorS.
Following the game, Bellefon-
taine students joined MarySville
boys and girls at the teen-age club
in the recreation room for dancing
and refreshments.
