1853 Enrolled At
HiIliard Schools
Sets High Record

The billiards Schools report a
record enrolment this year in
b o tn the Elementary and High
Schools. Following are enroll
ments by grades: First SO, Sec
ond SO, Third 90, Fourth SO,
Fifth IA, Sixth 80, Seventh 72,
Eighth 73. Total for the Elemen-
tary School 656. Ninth 161, Tenth
139, Eleventh 95, Twelfth 102.
Total for High School 497.
A comparison of the enroll
ment with that of the first d a y
last year shows that there are 35
more resident pupils in the High
School than last year and the
resident school population in the
Grade School is up 81. This, re-
duced to its simplest terms,
means that enough additional pu-
pills became of school age or
moved into the school district to
fill one h hig h school and three
gr a d G school claSSroomS in the
one year period. The average en-
rollment per classroom is in
creased in the grade school from
800 pupils in 1858 to 1868 in
1854. .-. .... ...
There are now more than so
houses under construction which
will soon be occupied in the
school district. When t h csc are
completed and the children from
them enrolled, the average num-
ber of children per room will be
considerable higher.
1t was interesting to note that
in the grade school an average of
above $40 pupils from the enroll
ment of $50 ate at the lunch room
the first week.

Corn Picker Losses
Cost Many Dollars

What will it cost you to pick
corn this year? w. z. Gill Ohio
State University extension agri-
cultural engineer said a recent
corn crop in Iowa cost 326 fing-
erS, 63 hands, IA arms, 5 legs, 3
lives, 1862 lost working days and
$71, ,243 medical expenses.
Grain losses will average 2 to
3 percent of the total crop under
the most favorable conditions, hut
may be as high as 20 persent with
poorly adjusted, improperly oper-
ated pickers. With corn at S150
a bushel these grain losses cost
from $1.80 to $500 an acre.
Gill says well adjusted pick
er, properly operated, will reduce
grain losses and injuries to opera
tors.
He suggests checking the picker
for worn, broken, and loose parts
before taking it to the field. Check
chain and belt tensions, and loos-
en- the adjustment on all slip
clutches to be sure they work
freely. Slip clutches are safety de-
vices to prevent breakage when
pickers clog.
Lubricate the picker and check
to see that you have the proper
power take-off speed for the best
job of picking. The operators
manual that comes with the mach
inc will give this.
Four adjustments that must be
made in the field also affect pick
ing quality and grain loss. They

ping rolls, husking rolls, and rate
of travel.
County extension offices have a
bulletin, Efficient and Safe Corn
Picker Operation" that shows corn
picking problems, causes and rem
edies. 1t also tells how to measure
corn losses, in the field.

Move To Locate
Good VIII Temple
At Columbus

When the $50 members of the
Genaral Board of the National
Council of Churches in the u. S.A.
meet in New York City September
18th and 18th, one of the principal
matters of business will be action
on a recommendation relative to
the relocation of National head
quarters. ..... ....
The $50 Board members will be
concerned with a grass roots"
movement to make Columbus,
Ohio, the compromise city for the
relocation of National headquar-
terS, between tn rival claims of
New York City where most of the
national offices are now located,
and Chicago, where some national
offices have been maintained.
A Committee of Ten, appointed
to investigate midwestern sites, is
understood to have shown a pre-
ference for New York City. But
the grass roots" element fe els
that the rim of the continent, par
ticularly the eastern seaboard, is
not the logical and certainly not
the convenient or economical place
for National Council headquarters.
In December of 1850, when the
Assembly of approximately one
thousand members met in Cleve-
land, the Committee was instruc-
ted to investigate thoroughly mid
western sites. Later, a poll vote
among the five larger denomina-
tions holding membership in the
National Council returned an 80e6
vote favoring Columbus, Ohio, for
National headquarters, ra ather
than New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, and other seaboard locales.
According to B. F. Lamb, Presi-
dent of The Temple of Good viii,
Inc, Columbus, Ohio, a project
that is promoting Columbus as ma.
tional headquarters for Protestan-
tism, the National Council has
been invited to locate on Temple
of Good Will owned property, the
expenses of moving from New
York to Columbus to be betrayed
by the Board of The Temple of

Two Men Survey
For Spot To Erect
New High School

Members of the Jonathan AL

comprised of townships Canaan
and Monroe and Plain City
school districts have employed
two experts from Ohio State Uni
verSity to make a survey to To-
cate the center of population spot
where the new centralized h ig h
school will be built.
1t was agreed by the boar d
members shortly after the n w
district was created to erect the
new Jonathan Alder school as
near as possible at the center of
population. Unable to agree as to
just where this spot is the board
decided to call in the two experts
so that the spot selected would
m e let with the approval of the
public in general. And by hand
ling the matter in his manner
the board members will be re-
lieved of the responsibility and
any criticism which might be di-
rected at them later on.
A bond issue will be voted on
at the coming November election
to provide funds with which to
build the new modern high
school for the north end of Madi-
son County. The school buildings
at Canaan, Monroe and Plain
City will be maintained as grade
schools after the new building is
provided for all the high school
students of the new district. The
consolidation of the three schools
was proposed by the State Board
and sanctioned by Madison Coun-
ty Board members before any
action was taken early this

Penn State Drops Boxing
After 36 Years in Sport
Rx the Associofed Pres,

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, May
29.-Penn State, a pioneer in
collegiate boxing, today dropped
that sport because of what it
called public apathy and sched-
uling difficulties.
The Nittany Lions fielded box
ing teams for SO straight years
and as one of the earliest col
legeS to begin boxing regularly

in the NCAA tournament this

I'm awfully sorry to hear it.

DETROIT. May 20. - The
Tigers today traded Catcher Matt
Bats to the White Sox in a

Wilson.
Wilson, a 25-year-old right
handed hitter from Milwaukee,
played II games for Chicago last
year and batted $50. He was
on the University of Wisconsin
team with Harvey Kuenn, Tiger

Bats, who came to Detroit in
1851 trade with st. Louis. has
been used mainly as a pinch
hitter this year. Frank House
a bonus player, has been doing
most of the catching for De-
troit.
Bats was obtained by the
Tigers in a search for distance
hitting. but last year he hit only
six home runs in 116 games and
batted .278. He drove in AZ
runs.
So far this year Bats in 21
