COUNTY ENTRIES
IN MARION RACES

The Marion race meeting got
underway Saturday evening with
Marysville, Redwood and Plain
City very much in the spotlight.
Frank Riley, Pearl Mcmahon and
w. f. Mercer are the presiding
judges. With a record-breaking list
of horses on hand, and from every
section of the country. The fans
are being entertained by some
royal sport.
Halo Volo owned by Charles Ro-
hey, of Plain City and ably driver
by Charles Norris, won the IS
trot and Golden Star owned by Mr..
and Mrs. Kenneth Spain, of Ma
rySville, finished third. Tillie Dean
driven by Rodney Bidwell, of Plain
City, paced a very nice race, COM
ing from far back each time to
finish third closeup.
The Redwood owned horses,
Student Prince, driven by Byron
Perry and Merry Mite, driven by
Baker, battled it out through the
stretch with the Prince horse win
ming by a whisker. With such a
grand showing of the Union coun-
ty horses to date it is a good guess
that the Union county crowds will
get some real thrills in seeing the
home horses out in front at the
finish line.

PUPPY WAS VICTIM, BUT
1T COULD HAVE BEEN CHILD

1t was just a puppy-just a
white fluffy puppy-but it be-
lOnged to a little IO-year-Old
girl who is now brOken-hearted.
Neither the puppy or the little
girl had the judgment to stay
off the much travelled highway
of route and u. S. SO at Eighth
st. and Maple. The girl was
lucky. The puppy-well-We
saw il. Under the wheels of a
mOtOrist, 1--WE didn't get the lie
ense number), the puppy gave
one "yipe", kicked once, and lay
still. The little girl looked, an
expression of tragedy and ter
rOr ran across her face, then
with dry sibs, she ran for home.
FOlks-this might have been
wOrse-it might have been the
little girl. We don't know how
fast this mOtOrist was driving,
but from where we were, it look
ed as if it was plenty fast. Why
not take a check on ourselves
and ask-"Are we driving safe ?"
Let's make il safe for your
youngsters and mine-alsO for
the puppies.

Corn on the Cob

I. has been established that cobs
make up a much smaller proper
ton and grain a much larger per-
centage of the crop when corn is
grown on properly fertilized land. At
the Ewing experimental field OF the
Illinois college of agriculture, corn
grown on soil fertilized with nitro
gen, phosphorus, potassium and cal
cium contained IS per cent or lO.5
pounds Of cobs per 70-pound bushel
of ear-corn; while the same hybrid
from untreated land on this field
contained 20 per cent or IA pounds
of cobs per bushel of ear-corn. This
means that each 100 bushels of ear
corn grown on this unfertilized
land contained $50 pounds more cobs
than 100 bushels grown on treated
land.
