Din Below 1855

Sales tax collections of S1,911,-
633 from the sale of prepaid tax

ary z, 1856 dipped slightly below
collections for the corresponding
first eight days of 1855 by S33, ,446,
according to State Treasurer Rog-
er w. Tracy today.
The decrease reflected a decline

iod which included one extra day.
In Madison County, receipts sag
ged to $4,546.40, almost $500 be-
low 1855 first week receipts of
SIS, 5,023. SO.
The cumulative grand total col
lections from the start Of the cur
rent fiscal year which began last
July /, and which include prepaid
tax receipts, use tax and other col
lections, stood at $123, ,564, 1872 on
January Z, 1856.
This amount registered a gain
of SIS, ,966, 153 or 1913 per cent in
excess of the overall collections of
$104 ,598,639 reported on January
8, 1855 for the previous fiscal year,

Mechanicsburg
Schools Looted

Mechanicsburg police and school
officials are hoping to get in
formation from fingerprints which
will furnish them with clue to
the identity of vandals who broke
into the high school and the
grade school building last Sunday
night.
After prying open two windows
the thieves ransacked the build
ings in general while evidently
searching only for money. The
exact amount of cash which they
took is undetermined but they
took the cash from the milk ma
chine and the pennies from the
pencil machine Both machines
were badly damaged. Locks were
broken on the doors to the Of
flee of Superintendent Francis
Cant. Considerable damage was
done to ecords and teachers
desks. Police believe they have
Iseveral good clues which are
being investigated.

Division Looks To
Future Hun+inc

COLUMBUS, OHIO-The Ohio
Wildlife Council, fully aware of
the need for establishing more
public hunting areas, is looking in
to the possibility of acquiring large
tracts as near to centers of heavy
population as feasible.
One of these tracts which has
been given considerable interest is
the area adjacent to the Berlin
Reservoir. This area, which now
contains some $500 acres could,
over long period of time, double
in size, thus providing northeast
ern Ohio sportsmen with a large
recreational area.

instance they tried lotteries to finance workhouSe

1927 when the top prize 100000 However, the pro-
couldn't provide the prize money, the city ended
up paying $685. 900 in judgments This ended lotteries
In 1885, Washington broke when 1t came time
pay foreign bank loan used to buy stock in the
Chesapeake Ohio Canal Co. Congress voted 81 million
pay the note when it pointed out that the Nations
Capital would for the most part by foreigners
if the debt wasn't paid.
Although the mayor type government lasted from
1902 until 1871 when it abolished in favor OF the
territorial type. it almost cropper in 1910.
At that time, Congress was Democratic, with Martin
Buren, Democrat in the White House. The District,
however, elected outspoken Whig William w. Seaton,
Mayor. Mayor Seaton opposed to many national
policies of the Democrats Irtated the Senate drew up
a bill aboishing the city charter.
Indignant residents held protest meetings all over
Washington and in Georgetown The bill defeated,
and when William Henry Harrison, Wing, was elected
to the presidency in 1912, the threat passed.

Day-to-Day Operations
OF a Dairyman-Feeder
By ALBERT KING

MAKING HAY while the sun shines
is a good project when it works. l
started cutting my first crop of alfalfa
hay June rs and with the seven-fOot
mower travelling at fairly high rate
of speed the entire 125 acres were
down in three days. 1t also took three
days to rake it into windows with my
side delivery and by the time the last
field was ready to rake that which was
cut first was ready for the baler.
Baling is a fascinating job. In con-
trast to the olden days when it took
three men and a boy to operate a
hand-tie baling outfit the modern ver-
sion consists of one man on tractor
operating an automatic wire-tie baler
which works from power takeOff. By
starting early the first day we were
able to put out 1000 bales, which is
a pretty fair days work for one man.
The hay this year is of excellent
quality. Good growing weather plus
moisture from irrigation has produced
one of our top crops. The fields of
younger hay which have been in pro-
duction for two to three years are
yielding a good two tons per acre
while older fields where stands have
thinned out some and where dandelions
are beginning to take over will produce
less.
Less Protein, More Tonnage
AS a result l like to harvest hay when
it is about one-tenth in bloom but with
the hot weather and fast growing con-
ditionS which prevailed this season most
fields were in the half to two-thirds
bloom stage before they were cut. This,
no doubt reduces the protein content,
but to compensate for such loss l have
secured increased tonnage and favor
able harvesting conditions have made it
possible to save all the leaves.
Because of the abundant yield of hay
this year will produce more than my
requirements and 1 therefore decided
to sell part of the first cutting in order
to defray a portion of the summer ex-
