for a total of $43, ,449.
Occupied High Place in Society.
Mr.. Belmont and his wife occu-
pied a high place in Washington
Society when they lived at the old
New Hampshire avenue mansion,
sold in 1888 to the Order Of the
Eastern Star. The then Prince of
Wales stayed at the home when he
visited in 1924.
In 1888 Mr.. Belmont sought to
have the property zoned for apart
ments, declaring he would rather
see 1t rented to desirable tenants
than see it stand there monu-
ment to the depression.
After his wife's death, Mr.. Bel
mont returned to q small cottage In
Newport. emerging only during the
recent war to engage In bond selling
activities.
One of Mr. Belmont's books, ma

helped promote the American Mer-
chant Marine and helped settled
the long standing fisheries dispute
with Canada.
Mr.. Belmont always retained q
keen interest in politics even after

TripLett Nine Loses
At Upper Saradusky

Triplett softball team lost its first
decision of the season at Upper
Sandusky last Thursday night, when
the VFW outfit of that place came
from behind in the last two innings
to cop 7 to 6 victory.
Bluffton teed off for three runs
in the opening stanza, and added
two more in the third to hold so
lead at one time. Upper Sandusky
came right back in the last of the
third, however, to garner four runs
and trail by only one tally.
In the seventh, Triplett stretched
the lead by getting one more run,
but the home outfit tied up the
count in its half of the same frame,
then went on to victory by counting
the winning tally after two were
out in the eighth.
Moser raped out three hits in
four chances; and Gratz and Miller
each had two safeties. One of
Miller's hits was a two-run homer
in the first inning.

Big One Gets Away

Bus Faulk, Mt. Cory fishing enthu-
siast, says he lost the granddaddy of
all at the Water Works quarry. Bus,
while fishing for blue gills, hooked
a bass which observers say would
weigh at least 6 pounds. Fisherman
Watkins from Mt. Cory will back up
Faulk on the story. Seems the leader
snapped just as he brought the lunk-
er to shore.
It all happened early last Thurs
day morning. Bus didn't go home
empty handed either for he landed
5 other bass and they didn't get a.
way!
joey Goodman hooked two Il inch
bass Monday at the Buckeye and
while fishing in the creek near the
quarry outlet caught 2 fair sized
crappies, a channel, a large rock
bass and black bass. Maybe some of
those we restocked got over the bank
after all during the flood. Joey says
a number of large carp can be seen
in the creek under the bridge.
Preacher Mcdonald from Ada has
been setting the pace again for the
local boys. Last Monday he snagged
three large pickerel at the Buckeye
on garden worms.

Hammering the ball soundly in a
free-hitting contest, Blufton Sports
men drubbed Rawson under the
lights at Harmon field last Thursday
night by a score of "a to 9.
Three explosive innings marked
the ball-clubbing prowess of the
Bluffton crew, for they bagged five
runs in the initial stanza; got 10 in
the fifth, and then tapered off with
four in the sixth.
For a time Rawson threatened to
make a game of it, for after the
Sportsmen had taken a fve-run lead
in the first inning the visitors held
them scoreless in the next two
frames, and at the same time got
three runs of their own in the
second.

Fishermen Attacked By "Haunts"

Fishermen Attacked By "Haunts"
Fishermen say the north end of
the Buckeye quarry is haunted. Just
at dusk unseen assailants knock the
hats off the heads of anglers. Wo-
men have their hair ruffled and men
say they have been socked in the
head.
Seems that mother screech owl and
her brood are protesting the intru-
sion of fishermen who frequent the
quarry at dusk. Apparently a den
tree is located somewhere near the
shelter house for a number of baby
owls are perched in the trees near
by. The birds think it great sport to
fly down and knock peoples hats
off or ruffle their hair.
"Sure is an uncanny experience; !"
says Sam Stepleton, "to sit there in
the dark fishing and have your hat
plopped off, when you know there
is no one around"
Oliver Steiner said he thought
some one hit him with clod of dirt
otter one of the owlets dive bombed
on him. Sure whacked him on the
back of the head.
Several ladies were observed with
blankets over their heads trying to
keep from being snatched baldhead-
ed.
Strangers who frequent the quarry
get the surprise of their life when
the attack gets under way.

Lawn Soil

Lawn grasses can adapt them
selves to quite wide range of soil
conditions. Where the soil is ex-
tremely light or heavy, it is best to
attempt to improve the texture. This
can be done by adding sandy ma
tariaI to heavy soil; by adding
clay material to a light soil; by
resurfacing the area with three or
four inches of a desirable 1oam or
sandy soil this is rather expen-
sive), or BY digging peat moss into
the soil.
