ed Sept. rs covering Union
County, Frank ]. Lausche, DEM
ocratic nominee for governor, re-
fleets a great gain of strength
over 1916 and evidences what his
supporters call "a groundswell

Marysville to Meet Bellefontaine

who is the fastest boy on the en-
tire squad but who has had prac-
tically no experience, this being
his first year of football. Johnny
Evans, Hills regular understudy,
suffered a two-inch cash over one
eye in practice Tuesday, and this
will probably keep him out of the
game most of the time.
Harold Hill Advances
John Cotton, right guard, who
has been nursing a bad knee since
before the opening game, has
been ordered by his doctor to
take it bit easy this week and
give the injured member a chance
to heal. This may prevent the 200
pound guard from seeing much
action Friday night, although
Coach Wenzel may start him in
preference to Ted Amrine, the
other right guard.
Which about completes sick
call for the squad.
Only other development this
week has been the advancement
of Howard Hill to starting right
halfback. The speedy lads play
against Worthington last Friday
and his sincere performance ir
practice are responsible for this
change.
AS a result, Coach Wenzel will
probably start these lads Friday
night:

The accident occurred on Route
739, 3 miles south of Raymond,
about 10 p. m. Wednesday when
their car, a 1912 Dodge, hit the

times.
The car was practically de-
molished.

Mr.. Evans was taken to the

killed in an automobile accident
near Huntsville about a month
ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Evans had been

Union, Madison and Delaware
Counties, tested this week at the
Ohio State Department of Health
Laboratory, showed the follow
ing bacteria counts:
Clegg Dairy
Clegg's regular, $1,000 bacteria
per mi.
Clegg's homogenized, 3400 bac-
terra per mi.
Clegg's cream, 5000 bacteria
per mi.
Elm Dairy
Meadow Gold regular, 47,000
bacteria per mi.
Meadow Gold homogenized,
1000 bacteria per mi.
Meadow Gold cream, $4,000
per mi.
Meadow Gold chocolate, $4,000
bacteria per mi.
Maximum bacteria count al
lowed for grade "a" milk, based
on the average of four conSecut-
i've tests, is 10000 bacteria per
mi.
Will Take Four Samples
Sediment test in the Clegg milk
was labeled clean; no report
was given on sediment, if any,
in Meadow Gold. Pasteurization
in both was reported "saticfac-
tory.
Willard Hill, owner of the Elm
Dairy, gave up about two weeks
ago trying to process his own
milk so that it would meet grade
"a" requirements and began i'm
porting Meadow Gold milk from
Lima each day. This test is the
first which has been taken To-
cally of Meadow Gold milk.
1t was emphasized that many
factors can enter into the picture
which might affect the bacteria
count on any given day. That is
why four consecutive tests, none
of which may be closer than
three days apart, must be made
before any grading can be es-
tabliShed, so far as bacteria
count is concerned. Three more
tests are to be run on Elm Dairy's
Meadow Gold milk before it can
be finally graded, locally.
Other Factors In Grading
1t was also stressed by Mr..
Daugherty that other factors be-
sides bacteria count are taken
into consideration when estab-
fishing grade "a" milk. While
admitting the bacteria count is
an important index to milk's
cleanliness or handling, he said
that the type of equipment which
is used III processing raw milk,
the size and cleanliness of the
dairy building, the sanitation
methods of handling milk on the
farms, and many other condi-
tions must be approved before
milk can be labeled grade CA.
One of the chief difficulties
encountered by both local dairies
in meeting grade "a" require
ments has Leen finding proper
sources to buy their raw milk.
| The bacteria count of milk
from Clegg's Dairy has been well
below the minimum requirement
for grade "a" milk since early
summer, Mr.. Daugherty indicat-
ed. However, the Clegg Dairy
building is said to be too small,
and certain of its processing
equipment not right to permit
use of the grade "a" label.
Both the dairymen and De-
partment of Health are working
toward a goal of all Grade "A"
milk for the community, Mr.,
Daugherty pointed out.

After encountering the usual
weather hazard at the Water Gate
on the scheduled opening night
with q consequent postponement OF
the performance of Bizet's Carmen"
from Wednesday to Saturday, the
Chicago Opera Company began its
engagement with Mascagni's Cav
alieria Rusticana" and Leoncavallo's S
"Pagliacci" last night. A good sized
audience was in attendance for this
first production of opera on the
new barge. The attractive shell
lends itself well to the staging OF
opera, yet the scenery used by the
Chicago company was not selected
to take full advantage Of the op-
portunity for visual effects.
A departure was made from the
usual routine by having narra-
tor give the gist of each work.
This role was delegated to Paul
Hume, whose witty resume In place
Of the customary synopsis OF the
stories has set a precedent that
should be adopted for all future
performances. He followed the
letter Of the plot but its telling was
In ordinary parlance that delighted
the audience while making 1t per-
fectly conversant with the story
It is to be suspected that Mr.. Hume
has had a good deal of private fun
from the absudities and exagger-
ations in opera that are evident to
anyone with a sense of humor.
Hts entertaining descriptions, which
were the highlight of the evening,
managed at the same time to make
the plot comprehensive.
It cannot be said that last nights
presentation reached any artistic
heights. It followed the stereotyped
pattern in gestures and stage pic
lures and with a good deal of
raggedness in the singing and ac-
ton of the chorus. Some OF the
singers of the principle roles, how
ever. showed that intangible quality
in their work that promises much.
One to be singled out was Hugh
Thompson who, in the role of
Tonic in "Pagliacci." demonstrated
possibilities that could be utilized
in more demanding characteriza-
tions than that essayed last night
He was, perhaps, the tallest Tonic
ever seen, with fine voice of wide
range. power and quality. One
sensed a dramatic ability that, given
freer rein, could be out Of the
ordinary.
Another was Andrew Mckinley
who has appeared here before in
last nights role of Turiddu in Cav
alleria Rusticana.' In his previous
performance, he graced the part
