Population Now
4272 in Town,
2O,7Sl in County
Redwood Goes to
1895 While Plain City
Increases to I'LL

Both Union County and Ma
rysville had substantial increases
in population during the past 10
years, preliminary figures for the
1850 census reveal.
Figures were announced today
by Paul G.. Groeber, census sup
erviSor for the Seventh Congress
sional District, in Springfield.
Union County jumped to
20.7sl this year from 20.0l2
counted in 1910. This is an in
crease of 3.s percent.
Only other figures given in the
preliminary report were for.
Redwood and Plain City. :
Redwood had a gain of l4.5
percent, going from 1923 to
1853 persons.
Plain City. including that por-
ton in Madison County. went
from 1885 to I'LL, a gain of
23.5 percent.
"This (the 1850 figure is be-
lieved to be substantially correct
but is subject to revision after
returns for non-residents are
credited to their proper locality
and other routine checks have
been made" Mr.. Groeber said.
Although material revision of
the preliminary count is unlikely
it may possibly occur after care
full examination of the returns.
The official announcement of
population will be made at a later
date by the Director, Bureau of
the Census, Washington, D. c."
Many People Fooled
Many Marysville people will
no doubt be surprised and some
perhaps disappointed at the rel
atively small increase which the
county seat showed. A great
many individuals had expected
the population to be more than
5000 this year.
This, of course, would have
put MarySVlIle IN the city class,
and could have required sub
Stantial change in the form of
government, including electing
Councilmen by wards instead of
at large; appointment of a full
time safety and service director,
maintaining a paid fire depart
ment, and other changes.
For Union County, the popu-
lation is the greatest it has been
in 80 years, but still 1000 shy of
its greatest census figure. The
county enjoyed a steady growth
unity 1890, when it had a popu-
lation of 1880. From then until
1910 it went doWn-hill, with the
low of 19, 1872 in 1890.
Census figures for Union Coun-
ty, Marysville and Redwood from
1880 until the present time are:

shutdown. Once anchored, the
powder spreads its chemical
through the crabgrass plant caus-
ing it to wither and die.
Depending on the extent of the
infestation, two or three applica-
tons are required at intervals
of a week or two. These repeated
applications make certain that no
crabgrass in the area has been
by-passed in the treatments.
Best Time For Treatment
Experiments by SCOTS own
scientists and independent ex-
perts over the past several years
have determined that the most
ideal period to inaugurate treat
ment is in July and early August
when the crabgrass is growing
most actively and before the
plants drop their seed. Crabgrass
is an annual which propagates
itself by dropping seed in the fall
which produce new plants the
next year. Application of the
powder interrupts this cycle by
prematurely killing the parent
plants with the result that there
is no new harvest of seed to in
fest the lawn the following
spring.
Areas cleared of crabgrass can

FRYING Pan Pointers

If you're in the market for fry
ing pan here's few tips you'll want
to remember. Buy a frying pan
made of a metal that can take lot
of heat-like cast iron cast alum
mum, or stainless steel. Steer away
from light weight or poor quality
metals. They're likely to warp and
then tilt to one side.
Here's another pointer-be sure to
find frying pan with handle that's
long enough for a good solid grip
and won't turn over in your hand.
Many bad scald or burn has been
caused by pans that do quick about
faces. So the watchword in buying
pans is buy quality" because buy
ing quality pays off in the end.

of the latter, an old recipe but of

Apple Snow
First pare and core tart apples.
Then add a small amount of water
and let them cook over a quick heat
until tender Next, press them
through a sieve to remove the
roughness. Then, to two cups of the
thick sauce, add one-half cup of
either honey or sugar and. the juice
and grated rind of one lemon. Heat
this mixture until it begins to boil,
then soften two tablespoons of gela-
tine in one-third cup of cold water.
Add the gelatine to the apple mix
ture and stir until the gelatine is
melted, Follow through by chill
ing the mixture until it begins to
stiffen. Now add two stiffy beaten
egg whites and turn the entire mix
ture into mold. When the dish is
firm it's ready to serve. The two
egg yolks can be made into a de-
licious boiled custard to serve with

One way of using cream cheese for

Cheese is chock-full of proteins
and what's more it's saving on
pennies. So use lots of cheese for
lunchbox sandwiches. Your family
will love it if you keep their APP
petites whetted by varying the
cheese filings.
Here are a few ideas tc start you
off. Put equal amounts of cheddar
cheese and cold meat through the
food chopper then season with
tangy pickle relish. Or you can run
cheddar cheese through the food
chopper and mix it with bits of
crumbled bacon and minced onion.
Thin slices of Swiss cheese goes
wonderfully with ham or rye bread,
and you can include a dill pickle to
add to its flavor. Snappy cheese has

Woman Likes Housekeeping in Two Cars
for NKP Railroad Maintenance Crew

Preparing a threshers' dinner would have
been taken in stride by Mrs. Wilbur j. Grice,
who three times a day sets table groaning
with foodstuffs for Nickel Plate railroad
maintenance crew living here in a string
of four cars parked on the railroad siding near
the depot on Railroad street.
A former Lima housewife, Mrs. Grice seven
years ago took up the job of housekeeper for
the maintenance of which her husband is
superintendent. With her two children grown
and married, she grew tired of staying at home
job of cooking and keeping house for her
husbands maintenance crew.
Busy In Kitchen
"Surely you can come in,' she smiled the
other morning to Bluffton News reporter who
attracted by the sayory odor of ham and
beans in the process of cooking for the crews
noon day meal.
An efficient, middle-aged matron, Mrs. Grice
was found busy getting half dozen custard
pies out of the oven in her kitchen, which is at
one end of former railroad pullman coach.
Nearby is the dinner table with nine places
set for the hungry crew, and in the other end
of the car are doube-decker beds and hot and
cold showers for the workmen.
Next to this coach is former box car re-
modelled and fitted up as an office for her
husband, and the living quarters for the couple,
Both cars are scrupulously clean and make an
inviting appearance.
Two other cars in the string are the crews
workshop and store room.
