nice weather now, the wheat will
turn fast, the county agent said.
The corn and SoybeanS needed
rain badly, according to Mr..
Greeneisen. The corn crop is run
ming slightly ahead of last year as
it was planted much earlier than
usual. Almost all corn was plant
ed by the middle of May but the
period of drought following the
planting slowed down its early
growth considerably.
Although the fields are very
weedy following the rain, the i'm
provement in the corn outlook is
noticeable in all parts of the coun-
ty.
The section south of New Cali
fornia had less rain than other
parts of the county according to
reports reaching Mr.. Greeneisen's s
office, while the northwestern
part of the county received some
what more than the general av-
erage. "No part, however, is bet
ter or worse off than the other
sections" he stated.

Central took off the two daytime
passenger trains on its run be-
tween Columbus and Toledo.
Draws Strong Protest
After the coal strike had ended,
the Railroad failed to restore the
two trains to service for several
weeks, until action was started
before the Utilities Commission.
Then, in late spring, the New
York Central restored the two
trains TO service but filed appli-
cation with the Utilities Commits
sion to discontinue them perm
anently. After one continuance,
hearing was finally held before
the Commission last October.
Representatives of nearly every
community served by the Rail-
road appeared in protest to the
application.
Railroad officials testified they
were losing money by operating
the two trains in question; rail
road employees denied that claim
and citizens of the towns served
said discontinuance of the trains
would seriously hamper their mail
service and deprive them of need
ed passenger facilities.

New Equipment to Help
Sewer Cleaning Job Here

AntiquatedA methods used to
clean sanitary and storm sewers
in Marysville will be soon re-
placed by a new, power sewer
cleaner of the most modern type,
according to c. P. Wagner, chair
man of the sewer committee of
the Village Council.
For years, the old method of
pushing jointed sticks through
the sewer pipe has been used.
When the sticks are worked
through, cable is attached and
it in turn is pulled through to
the next manhole by the sticks.
This is a long and tiresome job
and frequently some obstruction
in the sewer pipe makes it almos
impossible to force the sticks
through.
AS an illustration of the trou-
BILE that can be encountered, re-
Gently on S. Court ST. it was nee
essary to dig up the pipe and
break a section of it to dislodge
the sticks, city maintenance men
said.
After the cable is pulled
through the pipe, it is attached
to a windlass above the manhole
and a series of buckets of differ
ent sizes are dragged through
the sewer by the cable.
Will Have Gas Engine
When the new sewer cleaner is
purchased, the cable will be
drawn through the sewer pipe
by gasoline engine. The machine
that the council desires to pur-
chase will push a steel cable

State TO Erect
Traffic Light AT
Swimming Pool
Installation to be Made
Within Few Days; Other
Assistance Promised

Marysville people, worried a.
bout the safety of their children
going and coming from the NUM-
cipal Swimming Pool, may expect
a traffic light at Park Ave. and
the Boulevard within the next few
days, perhaps even this week.
The light was promised by Oct
ave Ammon, Division Engineer of
the State Highway Departments
Division Six, Thursday afternoon
in a discussion at Delaware with
Mayor G.. L. Kingsmore, Eugene
, RauSch, Democratic chairman,
and F. T. Gaumer, editor of The
Journal. Pool Manager Frank w.
Galloway, also scheduled to meet
with Mr.. Ammon and Llyod Flem
ing, the Divisions traffic super
visor, was unable to be present.
Not only did Mr.. Ammon pro-
mise immediate action on getting
the light erected; it is to be placed
just outside the Corporation linn
its by the Highway Department,
at no cost to the Village.
Two-WaY Control
Less than 4 hours later, on Fri
day morning, Mr.. Fleming was
back in Marysville for the third
time this week, to arrange with
the Dayton Power & Light Co.
for a Scource of electricity for the
signal.
The light to be installed will
have q two-way control on it.
This will enable it to be used as
a stop-a -and-go light during the
hours the Pool is open, and as a
flasher light the rest of the time.
The traffic at w. Fifth and Maple
SITS. is of the same type.
Several hundred yards each
way from the light itself, the
Highway Department will erect
large warning signs bearing the
words Traffic Light Ahead" It
is hoped that these lights will fur
ther help slow, down the traffic,
Other Help Promised
Besides furnishing and install
ing the traffic light for the Pool
area, Mr. Ammon promised any
other type of help the Village
may request in the way of traffic
control, which his office may
properly provide.
1--WE stand ready to serve the
people of Marysville and to help
you at any time" Mr.. Ammon
said.
Among other problems dis
cussed last Thursday was the haz-
ard at Five Points. At the re-
quest of Marysville officials sew
eraa1 years ago, the Highway De-
partment made a study of the in
tersection, and recommended the
installation of concrete islands"
to control the flow of traffic
through there. II also recon-
