Story Of a stack Of letters

Many people do their work well
enough to ''get by" But some take a
pride in the job-and do it a little
better than anyone expects.
All these letters-dozens of them
were sent to us in one recent month
by our customers to tell. us that
certain telephone employees have
shown that something extra" that
we call "the spirit of service" We're
proud of these bouquets" and proud
of the people who earned them.

Baker Brothers Came Here in 1904;
Lawn Mowers Big Job Each Spring

If all the lawn mowers that
have been sharpened by the
Baker brothers in their machine
shop in the last rs years were
placed end to end they would cut
a lot of grass. A visit to the shop
few weeks ago would convince
anyone of that.
On April /, John and Andrew
Baker completed 26 years of
business in the, machine shop on
E. Fourth st. During this time
they have done all types of ma
chine work and in addition sharp
ened countless lawn mowers dur
ing the annual spring rusheS.
During the heaviest weeks ac-
tivity this spring they handled
116 mowers besides their other
business. On the average it takes
about an hour for every mower,
according to Andrew Baker, who
at SO is the younger of the pair.
His brother John is "a years of
age and both are still working
regularly in the shop.
Came Here in 1904
1--WE came to Marysville in 1904
with the Peel Brothers who op-
Grated a hoop mill here at that
time" they recalled.
"After being employed at the
Turner Foundry for nine years
we went into business for our
selves. We have been in this same
location ever since" Andrew said.
While at Turner's, much of
their work was on repairing
boilers and after they went into
business for themselves they still
did a large amount of work on
boiler plates in threshing, etc.
This work has dropped off almost
completely in recent years.

Marysville's first Flower Show,
sponsored by the Marysville Gar
den Club, was a real success, due
to the cooperation of many in
terested flower lovers. The club
wishes to express appreciation to
all who contributed of their tai
ent and time, making the show
educational as we'll as attractive.
Entries were open to any who
wished to exhibit.
Roses were greatest in abund-
ance, although there was a large
variety of other flowers in varied
arrangements. Containers were of
pottery, crystal, metal, and such
odd items as antique covered
glass compotes, conch shells and
light bulbs. They ranged in size
from the tiniest miniatures, re-
quiring frequent drops of water,
to huge baskets.

Father Had Sawmill
The Baker brothers were born
near West Manchester in Preble
County. Their father operated a
saw mill there and for 20 years
they worked at that enterprise.
They now live only a little
more than block apart on E.
Fourth st. in Marysville and both
have raised families here. John
has five children and Andrew,
two. Both had boys in the Army
during the last war.
During their 26 years on E.
Fourth ST., they have become ac-
quainted with practically all of
the farmers in this vicinity. There
are few who, at one time or an
other, have not had business
dealings with the Baker brothers
during their long stay here.

Second Half Tax
Collection Begins
Balance of $I92.663
Remains to Come In

Second half collection of the
l948 real estate taxes will begin
in Redwood on June II accord
ing to County Treasurer Edgar
HolycroSs.
The tax books will be in Rich
wood from June IL to June 25.
While there residents of Clai-
bourne, Jackson, Washington, and
York Township, and the Rich
wood corporation may make their
payments there.
While in the north end, they
will be at the Redwood Banking
Company office. On June 25 they
will be returned to Marysville.
There they will be open in the
Court House until July 20, when
the collection will close.
An unpaid balance of Sl92,663.-
"a remains after the first half
payments. This, plus S8,333.34 in
delinquent taxes and the penal
ties affixed to these, will be on
the books for payment this sum-
mer.
The percentage of taxes left to
collect in the second half is slight
ly higher than last year, accord
ing to Mr.. Holycross. This same
situation applies to the delin-
quent tax percentage.
Theoretically the taxes should
be paid so percent during the
first half collection and so per
cent the second half but many
people pay their entire tax bill al
one time. This year 39 percent OF
the tax charge remains to be paid
in the second half collection.

l948 Corn Loan
Deadline Set Up
To 1850 by AAA
98.735 Bushels In
County Under Loan.
According to Cochenour

Union County corn producers
have a chance to extend their
government loans on 1948 crop
corn to July 81, 1850 and to put
purchase agreement corn from
the 1948 crop under loans to ma
ture July 81, 1850, Dale c. Will
Jams, state chairman of the pro-
duction and Marketing Admin
Stration Committee, revealed to-
day.
Farmers who extend their loans
or put purchase agreement corn
under. loan will be entitled to a
storage payment of 10 cents a
bushel for the extended period if
the corn is delivered to Commodi-
ty Credit Corporation at maturi-
ty of the loan. Deadline for TAX
ing advantage of the re-sealing
program is Oct. 81.
Farmers who do not have price
support protection on 1948 crop
corn still have until June 80 to
apply for either loans or purchase
agreements at their County AAA
Office. To date, 98,735 bushels of
1948 corn are under loan in Union
County, and 67,604 bushels are
under purchase agreement, Wilby
r. Cochenour said.
The re-seal program is designed
to slow down the excessive move
ment of corn off the farms that
would result from heavy deliver
les of loan and purchase agree
ment corn to CCC this fall, he
explained.
Originally, loans on the l948
crop corn were to become due on
Sept. l, 1949. Now farmers have
the option of paying off loans at
that time, delivering the corn to
CCC, or, not later than October
81, 1949 extending the loans to
mature July 81, 1850.
Previously CCC had agreed to
buy during the 80 day period i'm
\ tnediately following the maturity
date of 1948 loans any quantity of
1948 corn up to the maximum
producer had under purchase
agreement at applicable loan de-
livery rates. Now producers with
purchase agreements may sell to
CCC, or keep the corn and put it
under loan by Oct. 81 at the 1948
loan rates, lthe loan to mature
July 81, 1850, if they wish.

motorists are slowed down on
Fifth st. and the Boulevard"
Mr.. Galloway declared. Il hope
it won't take a tragedy in order
to bring about some kind of traf-
fiC control"
Suggests Traffic Lights
Mr.. Galloway suggested that
traffic lights be placed at the en-
trance to Legion Park, on the
Bolevard, or at the junction of
W. Fifth and w. Fourth St, and
that 25-mile speed limit be en-
forced.
Council expressed full aware
ness of the speeding problem,
but seemed unable to offer an
immediate solution.
No traffic light can be erected
at the location because the State
Highway Department, through a
traffic count, says there is not
enough traffic past that point to
warrant a light, No village under
5000 may put up traffic light
on a state highway without per-
mission of the department.
Neither, it was pointed out,
can the speed limit be reduced
because it is set by state law.
Will Make Police Check
Mayor Kingsmore did say he
would station police officer at
the park to see if he can break
up speeding in that manner. How
ever, local officers, with some
justification, contend it does no
good to be stationed there be-
cause motorists Immediately slow
down when they see the cruiser,
but when the car is not in sight,
