ances. The new sales policy is
expected to be in full operation
by June, 1860.
The company said there are
many reasons for discontinuing
its merchandising activities, cit
ing the most important as being
the advent OF the total electric
home" Ohio Powers Commercial
Dept. feels that its sales emphasis
should be placed on promoting
the all-electric home, rather than
the individual appliances for the
home The market for appliances
created by the all-electric home
can, and should, be fulfilled by
the electric appliance dealers, the
company said.
Ohio Power started merchan-
dising devices and appliances in
the early l920's, such things as
kitchen wiring, lamp bulbs and
flat irons. In the mid-twenties,
the company started selling
refrigerators, in addition to the
other items, and as soon as
public acceptance was assured
and dealers were well estab-
lished, one by one the direct sale
of the appliances was discon-
tinued.
Appliance dealers today are
selling from so to 95 per cent
of the major appliances sold in
Ohio Powers 53-county service
territory In the earlier days of
the company's merchandising
program, dealers sold only a few
appliances compared with the
great numbers sold by Ohio
Power
Typical of the appliances in
troduced and promoted by Ohio
Power is the electric range. When
the company started merchandis-
ing the range in 1927, only 300
were in use by company GUS
toners.
Ohio Powers average residen-
tial customer now uses nearly
1000 kil0Watthours of electri-
city a year. we'll above the ma
tional average of 1886. The COM
pany points out that the exten-
slve use Of electric appliances is
one OF the reasons Ohio Power
has been able to meet increased
operating costs without an in
crease in electric service rates.
Never in its history has Ohio
Power raised its residential
rates, and on several occasions
/ in the past, the company volun-
tarily lowered its rates for resi-
/ Dental electric service.
! Over the years, Ohio Power
/ has pioneered many sales, ser,
vice ard installation method,
that have led to widespread ac-
| ceptance and use of electric
| appliances.
This latest change in general
! sales policy is another step taken
| by the company to bring about
more effective operation of its
business while creating an even
greater demand for its one and
only product-electricity.

Maintaining Qualify In
Buffer Difficult When Hot

Corn on the cob and all the
other good garden vegetables
are enhanced in flavor with the
use Of good quality butter. How
ever, serving butter that spreads
but will not take on an off-flavor
becomes d hot weather problem.
Miss Oils Simonds, extension
consumer food marketing spe-
cialist, The Ohio State Univer-
sity suggests that when using
butter, remove from the re-
frigerator only as much as you
expect to use at one meal. Then
the remainder of the A-pound
stock or the pound package will
not be exposed to the air before
use.
A surface faint" results when
butter is exposed to the air be-
cause the exterior gets warmer
than the interior, thus starting
breakdown Of the butter on
the outside surface. Repeated
cooling and warming of butter
brings about change in taste
that is especially noticeable on
warm foods such as toast or corn
on the cob.
Butter should be stored in the
Oldest part Of the refrigerator to
maintain quality, says Miss
Simonds. Stored at OoF. in the
freezer, butter Will keep its
quality for six to nine months if
wrapped in moisturc-vapor proof
material.

with oil and in desperation Thor
ley abandoned the well. The oil
continued to fill the casing.
"a few months later some
peddlers came through from the
south and noting the oil they
placed blankets in the casing and
when they were soaked, wrung
the oil into jugs. This oil be-
came known as Seneca Oil and
they claimed it would cure
rheumatism, aches and sprains.
This became a thriving business.
I'm 1916 Robert Mckee, a
pioneer of great energy, began
to drill for salt water with a
spring pole kicking it down,
and he too struck oil in a crevice
at 81 feet. The oil caused him
so much trouble that he too
gave up the manufacture of salt.
Mckee opened up a store in
Olive, Noble county's first
settlement. The steamboats, at
that time came to Marietta and
up the Muskingum leaving his
supplies at Relief. He and his
son hauled the supplies over the
steep hills in wagons.
Young David often went to
Pittsburgh by steamboat to buy
supplies and it was on one of his
trips there that some business
men told him of brakes dis
covery and showed him some
samples. 1t is said that he laugh
ed and said, There is plenty of
that stuff back home on Duck
Creek
"They did not believe him SO
he offered to send them some
samples. He returned home and
sent jug of oil back by the re-
turn boat. A company was
formed to develop the area near
Macksburg.
James Dutton was the first to
drill for oil in Noble county
Using the spring pole, he struck
oil at 81 feet and being unable
to control the flow it overfloWed
INTO everything at hand and
filled Duck Creek.
"Oil brought $8 to $40 a barrel
and it was hard work to trans
port the heavy barrels to the
river for transportating to Pitts
burgh by boat.
"The outbreak of the Civil
War caused the oil to be for
gotten in view of more urgent
matters and it was not unit
after the war that the search fol
oil began again.
Fortunes were made over
night 'Gfeerfies' and wildcat
ters' brought dilillusionment anc
heartache to many in the peace
full valley.
"Noble county is rich in Goa
as we'll as oil and if you traveI
| west of Rt. 78 from Caldwell you
will see some of the biggest coaI
operations in Ohio. The big drags
and shovels are almost unbellev-
able as well as the overhead
carrier which supplies the cleo
trical plant at Beverly.
If you shudder at the devasta-
ton of the land go out Rt. l4t
where you can see the reforesta'
ton program carried on under
state supervision.
Noble county was also the
home of the last soldier in OHIO

lumn about what goes on in
Central Ohio, she set the story
straight. The following is the
tale as she told it.
The old wooden rigs are
taking their places in the used
to-bes' in Ohio SO take note of
the few remaining ones as you
ride about the countryside. The
wooden oil rigs were a neces-
sity in their day for pumping
the oil into storage tanks.
They We're replaced by the
steel rigs and later by the COM
pact little bumpers such as the
Alien manufactured in Ian
caster. There have been some
great changes in the drilling
equipment which is now mounted
for ease in transportation.
This year marked the Tooth
year since Colonel Drake drilled
his first oil we'll at Titusville,
Pa, in 1859. The industry now
has more than LIS million work
ers whose lives are interviewer
in the search and production Of
black gold.
THE Oil Show in Tulsa, Okla,
and the International Oil Show
in New York during the past
month were a tribute to the
railroad conductor who revolu-
tionized commerce and industry.
Drake knew what he was look
ing for and his discovery was a
timely one.
Strange how time and need
can change the value of a pro-
duct. How ironic that one man
can cast aside the very thing
which will bring fame and
fortune to another. Contrary to
all common knowledge oil was
first discovered in Noble County
Ohio.
"a couple of years ago Judge
McGinnis, probate judge in
Noble county, told me that Oil
was first discovered here and
l later told the story to some
friends who have been in the
oil business for many years.
They thought that this was
huge joke and said that l must
have misunderstood, and might
even be in need of a hearing
aid. They would often refer to
this and laugh. There is nothing
that will infuriate a female more
than to be told she must have
misunderstood.
II began to do some research
on the subject and I am indebted
to Judge McGinnis for some
interesting hours spent with some
old books. You'll find the facts
too, if you have access to Howe's
Historical Collections Of Ohio.
GLOVE travelled in Ohio ir
1916 and his accounts were also
printed again in 1876 to mark
the Tooth birthday of our nation
(See Volume 2, Page 353).
"One must not overlook the
fact that the early settlers were
not drilling for oil and they
did not want it or need 1t, but
it was discovered for the first
time in Noble county. They
wanted salt which was far more
valuable to them at that time.
in 1914 Benjamin Thorley
struck oil while drilling for salt
water. The oil gave him so much
trouble that he followed out q
sycamore log and drove this
down to hold the oil back from
the well, this today is known
among as conductor.

Seotties Win Over
Billings Central

Glasgow Scotties broke into the
win column for the first time Sat-
urday night by recording a 1876
victory over Billings Central Rams
in a contest played in frigid
temperatures and snow.
Fullback Jerry Peterson, got the
Rams into the scoring column In
the second quarter when he pun
ched across from the four, to give
his club a 60 advantage.
The score didn't stay that way
for long, however, as Glasgow's
shifty halfback, Cecil Daily, broke
loose for a 65-yard punt return.
That left it a 6-6 at the half.
Daily went 8 yards ON a reverse
in third period to push Glasgow
ahead, 1876.
In the fourth quarter, George
Zavalney went over from the one
foot line for Glasgow's final touch
down. Only seconds remained
when the Scotties got their last
touchdown.

Hunters Advised
Of Hour Changes

With duck and goose season
scheduled to open next Friday,
Oct. 16, waterfowl hunters are
advised to note the change in
opening and closing shooting hours
from previous years. This year
daily shooting hours will be from
sunrise to sunset, whereas before
hunters were allowed to start fir
ing one-half hour before sunrise
and continue until one-half hour
after sunset.
On opening day, however, shoot
ing hours will begin at noon but
follow the regular set hours daily
thereafter until the season closes
Dec. 4.
This year, because of the poor
duck crop, every single duck is an
important duck, department offici-
ais said, and urged hunters to cut
down on cripple loss. Improved
shooting is the best way for a
w~aterfowler to live UP to his obi
cation to help save ducks.

ran for the extra point. 1913,

Kermit Petersen ran the next
kickoff to the Miles City A where
the Eagles took over but failed to
gain the required yardage for a
first down. Miles City advanced
from their own 81 to the Sidney
40 but failed to pick up a second
first down. Sidney took over with
IS seconds left to play in the half.
An Eagle pass was intercepted by
Jerry Severson who ran 81 yards
for another Miles City touchdown;
no extra point. Half time score

injury prevented Petersen from
further participation.
The third quarter was a see-saw
affair with neither team getting
inside the others 80 yard line.
Early in the fourth quarter,
Ernie Olness recovered a Custer
tumble on the Cowboy AZ. Passes
and runs took the Eagles to their
opponents nine yard line with a
first down and goal to go. A solid
defensive wall held Sidney to the
two yard line where they lost pos
session. Miles City ran it back
to their own 20 and went into punt
formation. A bad pass from center
enabled John Neckels to nail the
Custer kicker back on his own
one yard line. Sidney was in pos
session miles City lost the ball on
downs and St. Cyr sneaked
through for the third Eagle touch
down; no extra point. 25-19, Miles
City.
With two and a half minutes to
play, Sidney took a Miles City
punt on their own 35 and ran and
passed to midfie1d. Sidney's last
chance was smothered when a pass
was intercepted and the Cowboys
held possession of the ball for the
remaining time.
Aside from those mentioned
above who did their share and

The Sidney Eagles gave a good
account Of themselves last Satur-
day night when they were defeat
ed by the Custer County Cowboys
25-19 in a game at Miles City. The
Eagles now have two wins and
two defeats.
Sidney started out strong when
they scored two touchdowns before
the COWBOYS realized what had
hit them. The first touchdown
came when Roy Bentson recovered
a Miles City tumble on the Sidney
35 and two plays later, Kermit
Petersen ran So yards for the first
six points; Dennis Williams con-
verted on a line plunge for the ex-
ira point. 10, Sidney.
On the first play after kickoff.
Roger Berry intercepted a Custer
pass and returned it to the Miles
City %. After two running plays,
Harold Sax crossed the goal line
from the 512 yard line. the extra
point try was lost. 1870, Sidney.
Sidney kicked off TO the Custer

the first Miles City tally; no extra
point. 1876, Sidney as the first
quarter ended.

WASTAGE

Close to five million waterfowl
are wasted each national cunning
season by a 25% cripple loss. The
principal causes of cripple loss are
trigger-happy shooting, inability
to judge distance, poor marksman-
chip, over-estimating the killing
range of modern shells, poor
craftsmanship and failure to re-
trieve birds.
This season, adopt a simple plan
to reduce cripple wastage: /,
Shoot only at birds at a reasonably
close range. When you hit, you
kill; when you miss, you miss
clean. 2. Use a retriever : it adds
to the sport and cuts cripple loss
by more than half. 8. Think! A
split second can mean a duck in
the bag or a duck in the reeds.
The Sidney herald., 1959-10-14
Satisfies:

The game was an exceptional
one regarding penalties; Miles City
was penalized five yards for off
side early in the first quarter
the only penalty in the entire
game.
The Eagles meet the Havre
Blue Ponies at Swanson Field this
Friday night, October Is. Havre
is tied with Miles City for first
place in the conference so this
should be another good contest.
The Sidney fans will get to see
their team play on their own field
once again after sharpening their
talons in action against two tough
teams away from home. Don't
