soil conservation "open house" on
the August Hofbauer farm, near
Jerome, Friday. The visitors OBJ
served terraces being constructed,
lime being spread, ladino
bromegrass meadow, two fields
previously terraced, construction
of sod waterways, and plow-down
fertilizers on corn. Mr.. Hofbau-
er's farm conservation plan was
discussed, showing the crop rota-
ton, fertility program, and crop
livestock balance.
c. G.. Phillips, soil conserva-
zionist, and Robert Davis, stu
dent trainee from Ohio State Uni

Being Completed
On Fairgrounds Here
Cinder Path Loid Inside Track.
Permanent Stage Set Up For Nights
Wider Entrances Among Changes

Many Improvements are being
made to the Union County Fair
grounds this summer in prepara-
ton for the 103rd annual County
Fair Sept. 1916, according to Otto
Rausch, secetary of the Fair

The race track is the object
of most of the work. The State

a cinder track will be built. The
cinder path has been needed for
some time to work horses on

too muddy to use. This project
will not be completed by fair
time but will be ready by the
time it is needed this fall.

Streng did not strike out man
but he did not give up one walk
and had control at all times.
Finch famed two and walked
four. He gave up seven hits but
his team mates made four errors
while Western Auto made three.
The winners drove over a run
in each of the first two innings and
added the winning tallies in the
fourth when Bob Stultz tripled

been waiting for a phone but
have been unable to get it, Mr..
Palmer added.
More Wires Up
Wire for three toll lines be-
tween Milford Center and MaryS-
vile has been up for some time
but the company was waiting for
trunk terminatorS at both ends.
The promised shipping date on
this new equipment was the lat
ter part of August, which means
that it should be arriving any
time.
Equipment for 20 more lines

Court Approves
Telegraph Plea
Clears Way to Put
Office With Phone Co.

Only the approval of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
was needed today to discontinue
the Marysville Western Union
telegraph office on NJ Main st.
In ruling handed down Friday
by Franklin county Common
Pleas Judge Myron B. Gessman, a
claim by the State that the COM
pany should have the permission
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion of Ohio for the substitution of
telephone service for that sup
piled by Western Union was de-
MED.
Offices at Bellefontaine, Mt.
Gilead, Delphos, Lebanon and OF
tawa, are affected by the same
ruling, it is claimed.
The Western Union Company,
approximately two years ago,
first filed notice of its intention
of closing the telegraph office
here, and moving the service to a
room arranged for that purpose at
the United Telephone Company
building.
Protests by members of the af-
fected union and customers, and
hearings before the F. c. c. had
delayed the transfer.
Under the plan for Bellefont-
aine, teletype equipment will be
installed in the United Telephone
Company building, in charge of
employees on the telephone COM
pany payroll. Messages may be
sent, as now, by delivery in per-
son at the office or by telephone.

A concrete stage is being built
across from the grandstand and
its first use will be for the his
torical pageant of Union County,
to be presented at the Fair, and
the WLW "Midwestern Hayride"
program.
The stage has a concrete block
foundation with a cinder filling.
The cement slab floor is yet to
be laid on the cinders. The old
judges stand has been removed
and the judges will be on the
grandstand side of the track as
they were last year.
The buildings have been rewired
and new power lines put in by
the Dayton Power & Light Co.
r. w. Bigler, local Power Co.
manager, told Mr.. Rausch that
Union County now has one of
the best lighting systems of any
small fair in Ohio.
A merchants building has been
made from the old cattle barn,
probably the best building on the
grounds.
The Fair Board and the State
Highway Department have also
done a lot of work on the Marion
rd. entrance to the grounds. The
driveway has been widened and
a cinder surface added. The bank
along the driveway was re-en-
forced with stone and the high
way along the Fairgrounds was
widened to accommodate traffic at
the entrance. This was accom-
plished by building gravel sur
face on each side of the main
road. When the road is resurfaced
again at some later date, the add
! ed width will be hard-toped, too

These additions to the Ray
mond exchange will give both
Raymond and Marysville sub
scribers, better service on that
exchange and in calls between
Raymond and Marysville,' Mr..
Palmer said.
Troubles Corrected
The chief complaint of the sub
scribers at Magnetic and Ray
mond has been that they often
take the receiver off the hook
and do not get the dial tone. AL
so no new subscribers have been
taken on recently because there
have been no new lines on the
Magnetic exchange.
The reason for the failure of
the dial tone is the lack of find
ers and links, situation which
has been corrected. Other equip
ment has been ordered and when

Praying Mdntis
On Loom Co. Window

A praying mantis, rare insect
seldom seen around here, was
here, was found by Everett

inches long, was found summing
himself on the window sill of the

The insect is quite interesting
