VANISHING PONY ISPOPULAR FEATURE
WITH BIRCH MAGIC SHOW HERE TONIGHT

Princess, the vanishing pony,
will be in MarySville today when
she will assist her master, Birch,
master magician, in entertaining
the children of the city, those who
are youthful in spirit as well as
those who are youthful in age dur
the engagement at the high school
auditorium this afternoon and
night.
Princess comes from the Dutch
West Indies, is ten years old, and
weighs one hundred and fifty
pounds.
But Princess is only one small
portion of the great Birch array
of thrilling illusions and demon
strations of the magic art. Included
in the production are many tricks
which require vertiable menager-
lie for presentation. Of these may
be mentioned the canary that ap-
pears in a burning light bulb, the
vanishing ducks, the elusive doves
and many others.
Children are always made well
come at the Birch show. The ma
gician likes to work with them,
and frequently calls them to the
stage.
Il like to play to adults, of
course, for they can really appre-
ciate to the fullest the beauty and
wonder of my illusions, but it is
really much more fun to work
with the kiddieS. Their naive en-
thusiasm and the pure enjoyment
which they get from the show is
something infinitely precious to
me-"
Not only will Mr.. Birch perform
the most sensational feats of mag
ic ever presented on local plat
form, but he brings a program
varied with pleasing novelties
Miss Mabel Sperry, musical artist
extraordinary, will play a musical
interlude on her specially built
Marimba at the evening perform
ance.

With the lighteSt vote in history
cast here Tuesday, members of the
Board of Elections had all votes
tabulated and totaled in record
time, Tuesday night. The job was
completed and Board members on
their way home before II p. m.
Thanks to the light vote and
early tabulation, Union was the
first county in Ohio to telephone
complete returns to the Secretary
Of State, information given GWynn
Sanders, clerk of the Board, indi-
Gates.
First precinct to report was Ma
rysville 4B at 7:20 p. m, just 80
minutes after the polls closed. The
asst one in was York West at lO:3O
p. m. This precinct had the heav-
lest vote in the county, due to a
Republican central committeeman
contest between r. N. McGinnls
and Paul Tallman, in which the
former was victor. Exactly 100 Re-
publicans voted there, plus IL
Democrats.
Second heaviest vote in the coun-
ty was MarySviIle ga with 76 Re-
publicanS and 16 Democrats. The
smallest vote was in Darby North,
with seven Democrats and IA Re-
publicans. Several precincts, how
ever, had less than 80 voters.
The average in each of the 80
precincts was only A votes. 1t

ficials that the Primary cost slight
ly more than 81 per vote.

Army Turning Back
|S7O,OOO,OOO 10 Japs
by ,i,c Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. s. - The United
States Army OF occupation has s7o,-
o00.o 900 worth of Japanese yen on
It's hands but has found a way to
peddle it back to the Japanese.
The excess has piled up since the
occupation forces, after landing a
year ago, found the yen-dollar traf-
fic lucrative one and started send
ing home more dollars than they
were being paid.
This traf1ic continued briskly un-
til the Army intervened last month.
1t halted such maneuvers by issuing
military "A" type yen, obtainable
only with dollars. This "A" type
can be traded for Japanese yen but
not vice versa. japanese yen can be
used only in transactions with jap
anese.
The Army is getting rid of the
$40, ,000, 900 worth Of japanese yen In
this way:
japanese yen is used to purchase
commodities or services from the
japanese. These are reso1d to occu-
patton forces for a yen which pro-
vides the medium through which
dollars are being returned to the
United States Treasury. The pur-
chases from the japanese in their
yen are taking care Of that $40, ,OOo,-
600 surplus.
Headquarters said today the ex-
cess fund would be liquidated at the
rate of 100000 yen $4,000, ,0O0)
monthly. At that rate, IS months
will be required to dispose of yen
accumulated in less than IL.
