High School Notes
By Olaf Halvorson)

The freshman represent the most balanced class in high school with an equal number of boys and girls. Naturally studious, this week they appear unusually no because the upper classmen receive free transportation of their books by the freshmen. Although it is an extra burden to the freshmen, per haps it makes the upper classmen to question whether they always take so many books home.

 Rest heals tuberculosis as rest heals any injured part of the body. Complete bed rest spares the lungs. That is why tuberculosis patients are urged to go to bed just as soon as the disease comes to light.
 Authorities now agree that eli mate is no longer of primary i'm portance in the treatment of tu- berculosis. With rest and compe- tent medical care the disease may be cured in almost any, climate. With the onset of tuberculosis there are no symptoms. Later its danger signals are unexplained fa- tigue, loss of appetite, loss of weight and a persistent cough.

With IL Gauge
Body Found By
County Officials
Two Days Later

Edward Sheppard, 66, we'll
known carpenter and decorator,
was found dead at his home on
East street, shortly before noon

following an investigation, Coroner
Jack Berry gave a verdict of

mitted suicide by shotting himself
in the head with IL gauge shot
gun.
1t is believed that Sheppard shot
himself sometime Thursday, two
days before his body was found in
a closet of the home, with the door
closed.
A sister, Mrs. Emmett CHM, of
near Ava, went to the home of her
brother, Saturday morning, and
found it securely locked. An in
vestigation was started when an
accumulation of mail was found in
the box on the front porch. Neigh
bors reported that they had not
seem him since Thursday.

trance into the house and found
the body of Sheppard on the floor
of a closet.
No cause was advanced for TAX
ing his own life, although he is
known to have been in poor
health.
A son of Harrison and Clarissa
Wiley Sheppard, deceased had
lived on a farm near Caldwell un-
til six years ago when he pur-
chased a home in Caldwell and
moved to this community.

Veterans Urged To
File Terminal Leave

To avoid last minute rush and the
resultant delay in payment, the Lo-
cal DVcaft Board urges all eligible
veterans who have not yet filed
claims, under the Terminal Leave
Bill, for unused furlough time to do
so Immediately. It seems that only
about half of the approximate 1900
to 140O veterans in the county have
filed their claims up to this date.
Applications are available and are
being completed free of charge at
your local board and all concerned
are urged to attend to this matter
before it comes to the big rush.

occurred at 1890 p. m.
Seeing the blaze start and reaIiz-
ing Bickford's escape had been cut
off because the flames were between
him and the door, Mrs. Bickford and
her children leaped from the truck
and succeeded in dragging him from
the cab.
He suffered third degrees burns
about the body, legs and arms and
was reported to have inhaled con-
siderable smoke and fire.
In spite of his injuries, Bickford
drove the pickup truck to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Perkins in
Cumberland, where first aid treat
ment was given. He was then re-
moved to the GAINESVILLE hospital.
The flames in the cab of the power
shovel were extinguished by Mr..
Perkins and neighbor.
The young man is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Bickford, High Hill.

County Farmers Urged
To Protect Seed Oats

Noble county farmers planning to
seed oats this spring need to take
some extra precautions before plant
ing. A new disease commonly re-
ferred to as victoria plight or root
rot caused serious losses in parts of
Ohio last year. 1t will likely be more
common this year.
County agent Henderson suggests
that all seed oats be treated with
new improved Ceresan at the rate
of one half ounce per bushel of seed
Treatment should be made at least
two days before planting. This
treatment will greatly reduce losses
from both Victoria blight and sew
eral oats diseases.
1t is expected that varieties re-
sistant to the new disease will be
available in the near future. This
will be of little help until resistant
seed can be made available in
quantities. Therefore farmers grow
ing oats should use the best variety
available and treat the seed before
planting.

ton to the Noble county victim,
was also hospitalized. A third vic
tim, whose name was not learned,
was also involved, but escaped in
jury.
Details of the accident were not
clear, but it occurred shortly be-
fore the noon hour, Thursday. It
is said that the elder Peck and his
two companions were sitting on
new grade, waiting for the appear
ance of the general superintendent,
who had promised them work
As the superintendent ap-
preached he yelled a warning to
the men to get off the bank, but
at that time, according to reports,
the cavern occurred and the bank
slipped.
Residents of the Peck home, near
Hiramsburg, were contacted Tues
day and they were of the impress
sion that an eye beam had slipped
and struck the men.
Peck, who is married and has
four children, was the most seri-
Ously injured and not expected to
live, according to hospital attaches.
His condition is further aggravated
by a bad heart condition.
He sustained the fracture of
eight ribs, several bones in the
back were broken, the left leg was
fractured in two places, the collar
bone fractured and there is a pos
Sible fracture of the skull. 1t was
said Tuesday that the multiple
injuries had resulted in a partial
paralysis.
Brookfield township has been
the scene of gigantic strip mining
operations for the past year, but
this was the first major accident
to be reported.
A few days later on Sunday
evening, Herman Bickford narrow
ly escaped death from burning
when the cab of power shovel,
which he was cleaning, caught on
fire. This was in the same mining
field.
