Noble County Has
2.0l6 Farm Owners
Farm Tenancy Lowest
In Over Sixty Years

Columbus, Aug. 27-More Noble
county farmers are acquiring title
to the land they till, according to a
report issued by rural economists
at the Ohio agricultural experiment
station.
Since the last agricultural census
in 1945 when total of 81 percent
of Noble county farms were oper-
ated by tenant farmers, the number
of Purchases of farm land by ten
ants and farm workers has tended
to increase while that of non-far-
mers decreased.
Farm tenancy in Noble county
has varied from 147 percent in 1880,
1876 in 1900, 14.2 in 1920 to 14.7 in
1910. In 1945 there were 2,016 farm
operators in the county, and of these
1,707 were full owner operators,
las part owners, one hired farm
manager and 153 tenants.
The decline in farm tenancy to
the lowest level in go years has been
due to the prosperous economic
conditions during the past seven
years.
The growing tendency to own
land coupled with a relatively low
mortgage indebtedness supports the
opinion that the financial distress
existing in the 1905 can be avoid
ed.

Local Highway
Project Is Now
Under Contract
When Completed, All
Village Streets And
Alleys Will Be Paved

The road Improvement project in
Caldwell, sponsored and approved
by the village council, started last
Thursday morning with Hall and
Barber, Inc, contractors, of Cam
bridge, in charge.
The 100000 project is proving to
be one of the most worthy accom-
plishments to date by the council
and will do much to keep Caldwell
in her standing as an up and coming
small community.
When completed, Caldwell will
not have single highway or alley
that is not tar bound and improved
"a record that very few communi-
ties with population of 100 can
boast of. Caldwell has always been
a clean community, well laid out
and situated, and this latest inn
provement further enhances the
beauty and living conditions of
property owners.
George Hall, of Cambridge, is in
charge of the project. T. Dye Barn
house, formerly of Caldwell, now of
Granville, is representative for
this company and it was he who
hldOS OhGSL SOA1LdSL Will bl1S SOull-
Gil.
The project includes two applica-
tionS of dust laying bituminous
material, topped with fine sand and
gravel cover material.
The Noble county commissioners
are aiding the village solons in that
the county motor grader is being
used for this purpose with the
county furnishing the operator.
The project is broken down into
seven sections. 1t will and does in
clude East Main street and CNnber-
land street, on the square, with a
double seal.
North street, including the section
on the square, will also receive a
double seal.
The others are Sycamore street,
Poplar street, Spruce street and
Belford street in section three;
Cumberland, Frazier and Spruce
streets In section four; Railroad and
OaklaWn streets in section five; the
alley to the railroad on the West
Side, in addition to Spruce and
Playground streets on the West Side
in section six, as well as the four
alleys on the main part of the busi-
ness zone, extending for one block,
such as the alley from Madge's
Specially shop through to Spruce
street, from the county Jail to Lew
is street, from the First National
bank to Bridge street and Stellfox
Cut Rate to the home of Mrs. j. B.
Longfellow, East street.
The last section, known as num-
Der seven, will be devoted entirely
to Cliff road, near the st. Philo-
mena Catholic church to the Will
liam Rice home on North street.
1t is not believed that the council
has overlooked a single unpaved
section in Caldwell. If there should
be. an omission, the contracting
company will get the 60 ahead sig
nal and 1t will be repaired.

SAFETY TIP
OF THE WEEK

On all the major highways in
the nation-from Maine to Flor
ida and from New York to Cal
ifornia-there are friendly mes
sages all along the way, plainly
addressed to any driver who
will see them. The messages are
short, it's true, but they are
very much to the point. They
say: Steep HILL" Curve
Ahead" Dangerous Intersec-
tion," Railroad Crossing"
School Zone-Drive Careful
ly". Wise drivers read them and
obey them, because they know
that road signs exist for their
protection and are put there as
friendly warning of hidden
dangers that lie ahead.
For, as Confucius said: "If a
man take no thought about
what is distant, he will find
sorrow near at hand.

Strike AT Tesla Coal Co. Breaks Out In
Free-F or-All, Knock Down Alteration

IC DGlWeGn the
Testa Coal Co., and the union
had not yet been signed We'd
nesday morning, according to
Attorney L. C.. Young, repre-
senting the coal company. A
couple differences still exist
within the contract and these
are to be ironed out to the sat-
isfaction of both parties con-
cerned.
All is quiet again on the labor
front in Noble county and negiota-
tionS are under way in peaceful
manner, after a free-for-al fight
Friday afternoon on the esplanade
of the Noble county courthouse,
which involved the union organizers
and their local representatives and
the Tesla Bros, owners of the Testa
Coal Co., at Dexter City, which is
entering its third week of non-pro-
duction, due to a strike.
The fight, in which noses were
bloodied, eyes blackened and teeth
knocked loose, occurred shortly
after one o'clock, Friday afternoon
on the public square, the direct re-
suit of the labor dispute, and said
to have been caused when the union
organizers threatened the mainten-
ance crew at the Testa Coal Co.
site.
The battle of the fists, with the
union men coming out second best,
involved four of the Testa brothers,
Dan, James, Albert and William
Testa, Edward Smith and Hubert
Martin.
The organizers were Joe Costica,
William and Frank Zeloski, Bridge
port and William Sanford of Dexter
City, who heads the efforts of the
local union.
According to Sheriff Mckee, the
brawl started when Martin and
Smith LEFT the strip mining oper-
ationS near Dexter City and were
accosted by the UNIV organizers.
The four Testa brothers then ar
rived on the scene and soon had the
upper hand in the battle, which was
Immediately broken up by Sheriff
Mckee and state patrolmen, who
was just across the street at the
time.
The battle then moved into a legal
background with the office of Mayor
S. M. Secrest serving as the locale.
The peace bonds were fixed at 5000
by Mayor Secrest.
