JAPANESE DECOR?

(Frons Mrs. L. N. w., CheUerlyJ
The first week in March I am
entertaining my church circle in
my home. There will probably be
around 80 ladies present and the
subject for the evening is Japan.
I, do hope some of you readers can
help me with ideas for decorating
the house and for unusual enter
tainment for the evening. I had
thought of using Japanese Ian
terms wherever practical and of
making crepe paper cherry bios
SONS, but beyond that I'm
stumped! AS the time is getting
short I will be anxiously watching
for any ideas you may have.

PEACH QUERY?
LILAC BUSHES?

From Mrs. j. F. T., HyattSUille.) }
I have several large, number

I would like to put some in
brandy. Would some kind person
tell me if they have ever used
canned peaches for this purpose
and how to go about preparing
them?
Also, when is the best time to
transplant lilac bushes in this vi

SPECIAL SPONGE CAKE?
(From Mrs. A. E. S.,
TakonlG Park,

About two years ago I purchased
10-inch tube pan from a we'll
known mail order store. On the
pan, slipped over the tube, was a
piece of paper with a recipe for
sponge cake using IL egg yolks,
and a recipe for angel food cake
using II egg whites. The sponge
cake was really out of this world,
and so I was very disappointed to
find it missing from my files when
I went for it the other day. Does
any one have this recipe, or know
of recipe for sponge cake using
the IL egg yolks?
WASHING SATIN BLOUSE.
From M. S., Rockville.J
I have successfully washed a
heavy white satin blouse several
times and it turns out beautifully.
Use water a little more than luke
warm and mild soap flakes. Wash
by hand. Rinse twice and roll in
a turkish towel until garment is

BUCKWHEAT FLOUR.

From Mrs. P. C. E.. Siluer SPRING.
In regard to the request for
buckwheat flour, we often get it
from H. C. Beerit's Sons, Somer-
set. Pa. 1t comes in fve-pound
bags and they will mail upon
request.
We visited Greenfield Village in
Dearborn, Michigan, this summer
and bought buckwheat flour there.
Among the Americana that Henry
Ford has presented there is an
old mill that grinds out the -four.
No doubt they would mail upon
request also.
The following recipe is easy and
foolproof. At night mix the fol-
lowing: Two cups buckwheat, /
cup white flour, u cup sugar, /
teaspoon salt. y yeast cake or "
package dry yeast, water for
rather thick batter.
Let rise over night and add /
teaspoon soda in little water in
the morning. Bake on creased

Electric Wuter Pump
Needs be Grounded

Getting drink of water can
prove dangerous, perhaps fatal,
if the electric water pump is not
properly grounded, says |. P.
BIauser, extension agricultural
engineer at Ohio State University.
Blauser cautions that pumps
can become deadly electrical cir
cults at any time. Its a mistake, "
he adds, to consider the farm
water piping as satisfactory
ground"
He emphasizes grounding the
neutral wire in the circuit. 1t
is important that all connections
be made of copper wire heavy
enough to carry fairly large
charge of electricity.
If the pump is belt driven,
the only safe method of ground
ing is to ground both the pump
and the motor.

Gym Project Bid
Found Too Hiqh

No bids were formally accepted
when the Marysville Board of
Education opened the bids for
construction of an addition to the
Senior High gymnasium and a
music room, here Wednesday
noon.
The bids, as submitted, totalled
more than the money available
for the project, and the Board
will have to do '1ot of study
ing" before any can be accepted,
Supt. II. w. Carr said.
Bids were requested for three
different phases in the construc-
ton, general contract, electrical
contract, and plumbing, heating
and ventilating.
Bids for the first two, the
Board felt, were in line with an
ticipated costs. The only bid re-
ceived for the plumbing, heating
and ventilating contract, however,
was considered to be much too
high.
AS a result, this bid was re-
jected outright and the Board is
re-advertising for bids for this
phase of the project. The new bid
will be opened at IL noon Aug.
25. The only plumbing and heat
ing contractor to submit a bid
for this work asked $4,000 for
the job.
Construction of the gymnasium
addition and music room was
authorized by the voters of the
school district when they approv-
ed a 100000 bond issue at the
May primary.

New York Central to Close Station
In Raymond; Three Shippers Hurt

The New York Central Station
at Raymond will close its doors
for the last time Aug. II. The
Railroad has decided to abolish
the office there after Sd years of
continuous service, G. r. Simon,
station agent, reported this week.
Despite the fact that there are
three continuous shippers doing
business out of the Raymond sta
ton, the New York Central has
received permission from the In
terState Commerce Commission
to discontinue the station.
The Railroad officials admitted
that the office was being operat-

wishes to consolidate it with
West Mansfield. The hearing was
held June 6 in Columbus.
Shippers Unhappy
S. S. Taylor, owner of the Ray

averaged over $4,000 worth of
business per year through the
Raymond office. He stated that
the East Liberty Elevator Com

Battle for Rice Bowl Suggested For
Korean War; Farming There Described

USDA report said little of the
land is cultivated. Only about
one-fifth of the total area is farm
land, the remainder being noun
tains. Farms usually are no more
than three acres per family. Farm
implements are crude and live
stock is scarce.
About 20 percent of Korea's
rice lands are under controlled
irrigation. About one third of the
irrigated area normally is double
cropped, producing rice in sum-
mer and fall, and barley, wheat
or rye in winter and spring. Re-
naming area is planted to soy
beans, vegetables, fruits, fibers
and tobacco.

Expressing concern over the in
crease in traffic accidents in
Ohio's rural highways, Colonel
George MingIe, superintendent of
the Ohio State Highway Patrol,
issued a "hold the line" plea to
the motorist and requested an
all-out effort to prevent motor
smash-ups.
Colonel Mingle was particular
ly concerned over the fact that
the Highway Patrol records to
date this year show an increase
of Is percent in the number of
traffic accidents on the highways
together with an increase of 20
percent in the number of fatal
accidents in the rural areas.
Colonel MingIe pointed out that
the recent swift increases in the

Monday Deadline
For Tax Reports

Some $4,000 employers sub
ject to the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Law must file
their tax reports and make their
tax payments for the second quar-
ter of 1850 on or before midnight,
Monday, July 81, the Bureau of
Unemployment CompenSa t j n
warned today.
These reports and payments
are especially important at this
time" BUG Administrato Frank
J. Collopy said, because the
statewide employer contribution
factor will be determined by the
total reports on taxable payrolls
received from all Ohio employ
ers on or before July 81.
Employers Individual Contri-
button rates for 1851 will be based
upon the statewide factor, the
amount of money they have CON
tributed to the unemployment
compensation fund by July 81 and
their individual labor turnover"
The BUG administrator also
pointed out that both tax pay
ments and reports must be post
marked July 81 or earlier to
avoid penalties imposed by the
Ohio Law. The Law provides for:
l, A penalty of 10 per cent of
the tax amount due for each
quarterly report filed after the
due date, with minimum charge
of SIS and a maximum charge of
S25.
2. An interest charge of six per
cent per year of the tax amount
due for failure to pay the tax on
time. Each fraction of month
will be figured as a full month
in computing the period for which
interest is being charged.
The reports and tax payments
are due from employers having
three or more full-time or part
time workers on any one day dur
ing the quarter. Twenty-one
types of employment are not COW
cred by the Ohio Law, and en-
ployerS who are uncertain wheth-
er or not they are subject to the

Water 20. Crew
InStallS New Main
For Hospital
Will Also Put In
Fire HYdrant System On
RetormatorY Grounds

A construction crew from Cam
bridge is in MarysvilIe this
month working on several projects
for the Ohio Water Service Co. In
cluded are a new water main to
the H. B. Salter Company and
the new Hospital and installation
of fire hydrants at the Ohio Re-
formatory for Women.
A new water main running
along Ninth st. east of London
ave. was completed Tuesday by
the eight man crew. The new
eight-inch main connects to six
inch main on Chestnut and runs
in front of Salter's, providing the
plant with an increased water
supply for its fire Sprinkling
system.
1t also connects with a six inch
main at Walnut st. and four
inch pipe at Plum. Another new
eight-inch main on London ave.
connects with an eight-inch line
at the Marysville Lumber Com
pany on Eighth st. and a four
inch main on London ave. Both
new eight-inch mains run to the
hospital site.
A SiX-inch service line runs to
the hospital from the main and
there is siX-inch fire hydrant
on the hospital grounds.
The working crew will also in
stall a fire hydrant system at the
Reformatory one mile east of
town.
The Company will install ap-
proximately Is fire hydrants Ill
the Reformatory building area,
Mrs. Marguerite Reilley, superin-
tendent, stated today,
Up to this time the only means
of fire protection the institution
has had are hand fire extlngulsh-
ers. In case of a serious fire they
would have to rely on the 800
gallons of water carried in the
two Marysville tankers, which
could easily become exhausted.
The construction work began
July II, with the Reformatory
project scheduled as soon as new
mains are completed.
