Melting Snow This Year Fails
To Replenish Sub-SoiI Moisture

Snowfall that blanketed this dis
trict throughout January and Feb
ruary was good for the wheat but
meant little so far as the sub-soil
water supply was concerned.
Readings from state water board
gauges throughout the state, one of
which is established near Columbus
Grove, showed big jump when the
snow melted, but Immediately fell to
lower levels.
According to state reports, the in
crease came solely because of the
high stages in nearby streams, but
when the streams went down the
we'll levels also dropped. There was
no lasting addition to sub-soil mois-
ture in the ground
Frozen surface of the earth was
what prevented the melting snow
from entering the soil as water to
be stored against the dry months
next summer.
Warmer weather at this time last
winter allowed much more water tc
go into the ground, it was added.

MOtOrist Injured In
Main Street MiShdp

Russell Bonds, "a, Detroit, Mich,
sustained several cracked ribs and
severe head decorations at 1880
p. m. last Thursday night when his
car crashed into the rear of a truck
on N. Main street, 300 feet north of
the A. C. and Y. railroad crossing.
Involved in the crash were the
car and two trucks, all travelling
south. A truck had broken down
and was parked along the side of
the road. A second truck, approach
ing from the north, had slowed speed
preparatory to stopping.
Bonds, enroute to Mississippi from
Detroit, crashed into the rear of the
second truck. He was taken to the
Bluffton Community hospital in the
Diller ambulance.

plunged Is to Is degrees below zero.
Saturday trade was at a standstill
with drifts 6 to 10 feet blocking the
country roads. Stores were so cold
that the ink had frozen in many ink
wells. Water in the standpipe at
the water works froze shutting off
pressure in the city lines. Ice formed

made to thaw out the pipe with a
steam line. Replacement of the stand

MT. Ephraim 0uini Cops Grade School
Tourney By Tripping Summeriield 1910

Little Mt Ephraim laid claim to
the best seventh eighth grade bas-
ketball team in Noble county follow
ing last Wednesdays triumph over
Summerfield, 1910 in the finals of
the tournament. This ''cinderella"
team, coached by Johnny Watson,
hasn't even a floor on which to
play. They gain their experience on
the school ground and by a few
practice games at Sarahsville high
school. But last week patience and
perseverance paid off as these boys
downed Belle Valley, Harrietts-
vile and Summerfield to take top
honorS.
In the finals, favored Summer
field jumped into SO lead at the
first quarter, increasing their mar
gin to 1914 at halftime as Don Moore
and Bud Rich tailed Mt. Ephraims
only points in the first half Staging
a magnificent comeback, Mt Eph-
rain held the Summerfield team
scoreless during the second half
while Don Bates looped in two
buckets and Norman Carpenter
added another to knot the score
1910 going into the final frame
Don Moores field goal in the last
quarter gave Mt Ephraim the mar
gin of victory in hard-fought game.
In the consolation preliminary,
Batesville won over Harriettsville,
1911 as Ray Carpenter led the scor-
ing with eight points.
