JOHN RUFF

John Ruff, aged 81, we'll known
to many in Marysville and Union
county, was found dead at his
home Sunday by William Rausch
and S. Lippencott, neighbors. Mr..
Ruff, who owned and operated
300 acre farm on the Rosedale-
Milford Center road, was be-
lieved by authorities to have died
sometime Thursday.
His neighbors became alarmed
when he did not appear around
his farm over the weekend, and
went to his home to see what
was wrong.
Mr.. Ruff was one of the few
farmers who still held to the use
of horses in his farm work, al
though for the past several years
he has used a tractor in his work.
For many years he engaged in
the business of buying and sell
ing fine draft horses, but had
spent recent years operating his
farm in Madison county
Surviving are a sister, Mrs.
Grace Wentworth, of Circleville;
and three brothers, Silas, of Col
umbus; Edward, of Ashville and

as they were against Worthing-
ton.
And if the Monarchs turn in
that kind of performance again
this Friday, then the fans will
feel much better about their team
and start looking forward to
Westerville and the district tourn-
ament.
None of the games involving
county teams are county league
games since schedules for both
the North and South Leagues are
completed But two, at least, Will
attract much interest.
One is the Mt. Gilead-Richwood
game, which is a mid-state Leag-
ue contest. The Tigers are favor
ed to defeat Mt. Gilead without
too much trouble but a good game
is in prospect for the fans there
With the county tournament
almost at hand, eyes OF DaShet-
ball fans elsewhere in the county
will be focused on the Broadway
Watkins game at Ostrander. These
two teams could easily be the
finalists in the tournament, and
there has been much debate as to
their relative strength.
A 5-point victory by Broadway
over Watkins, on the Broadway
floor about six weeks ago did
little to establish superiority of
either team for most fans. Wat
kins has been steadily improving
since then, and may be able TO
turn the tables on Broadway this
time.

Installation and adjustment of the pra-,ieal,

work and attention, for with electricity there's no
messy handling of fuel. Temperature of the brood

the fire hazard is practically eliminated. The over

Teams Seeded

Coach Richard Fetter, Of Rich
wood agreed, however, to take the
field rather than be one of the
seeded teams, and, for purposes
of the drawing it was agreed by
the other coaches to consider
Broadway as the North Leagues
Number / team and Magnetic,
Number 2.
With this arrangement, Union
and Broadway were arbitrarily
placed in the top bracket, with
Magnetic and Watkins seeded in
the lower division. In the open
drawing, Coach Fetter then pulled
No. IL out of the hat, which pitted
his team against Cally the first
game and Watkins, the second.

Demonstration Gives
Pointers On How To
Dry Clothes To Iron

Care taken in drying clothes will
make ironing them much easier and
will help them wear longer, says
Alfredo R. Forswall, county home
demonstration agent.
Because intense heat is harmful
to all types of fabrics. clothes that
are dried indoors should not be
hung close to hot radiators or on
top of a hot stove.
When hanging clothes out of
doors, homemakers need to remem-
Der that sunlight is a natural bleach
and is hard on all colors. Colored
clothes should be taken off the
clothes line as soon as they are
dry. Clothes hung out doors must
not blow in a high wind because
they may tear, soil or pull out of
shape.
Another short cut to easier iron
ing is to hang them correctly. A
general rule to follow is to hang
them on the straight of the goods
with clothes pins placed at the firm
est part. When hangers are used
to dry dresses, slips and nightgowns,
use wooden ones and attach them
firmly to the clothes line if hung
out of doors.
Mems shirts are best hung bv
their tails with the wrong side
out. Towels should be hung with
about one-third of their length
folded over the line to prevent
dragging orner out of shape with
clothespins. All large pieces, such
as Grapes, tablecloths and sheets
should be hung hens down with
the weight evenly distributed so
that they will not hang out of
shape.
