AVERILL ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOli-AT-LAW 818 Spitzer Building TOLEDO, OHIO The stave factory located on the west half of the square already mentioned was, when the writer first knew it, owned and operated by A. M. Thompson, who was the manager and superintendent, with Charles Stevens as the foreman of the shop. Sometime in the early seventies Mr. Thompson disposed of it to the Stevens Stave Manufac turing Co., of which the genial and retuiul Charlie Stevens was the president and general manager. Quite a number of the employees already mentioned as being in the other shop were at one time or an other employed at the Thompson factory. One of the best known of the employees, and who perhaps was with this linn for a longer per iod than any of the others, was a Mr. Win. Bensman. Also three of his sons William, Chris, and ono other son whose name has escaped me. Lawson Haywood for a long time had charge of the stave cutter here, as did also Tom Fleckhart. John Thompson and William Sweet ope rated the stave jointers for several years. Charlie Ross was employed in the factory for a long time, and I think at one time had charge of the stave cutter. Edward Ward run the cutter for a time. Johnnie Canally worked in the yard. Peter llennan, Frank Ilcnnan, and John Ilennan were employees for a time, as was also Peter Budd, and I think Fred Buckhouse was also there, as were also Joseph Ruppel and Henry Ruppel. There were many others whom I cannot recollect at this time. There was always a sort of rivalry between the employees of the two factories which at times amounted to ill feeling, and thsoe of the oppo sition factory always referred to the Thompson factory as the "soap factory." The large buildings of tho National Wheel Company are now located on the ground occupied by the drying sheds of this factory. The cooper shop in connection with the Thompson factory was lo cated on the brow of the hill on the southeast corner of Cherry street and Indiana avenue, opposite the old-time county jail building. Most of the product was shipped to southern points, as was the largest portion of the product of the stave factory. The cooper shop was destroyed by fire several times and rebuilt. One of these fires started one of the most disastrous confla grations that Perrysburg ever had, which may be mentioned in some future article. When the Stevens Stave Manufacturing Co. finally went out of existence owing to a lack of raw material in this vicinity to run the plant, jolly Charlie Stev ens went into the grocery business, and for a number of years conduct ed a store in a frame building on Louisiana avenue on the site of the brick block now occupied by Chas. Bayer. The saw mill of which mention has already been made, was located down in the hollow on the south (Continued on Eighth Page.) REPORT OF CITIZENS BANKING CO.

State of Ohio, County of Wood, Subscribed and sworn to before me this 12th day of March 1017. PHILIP WETZEL, Notary Public Wood Go. Arlington timothy, a new varic- ty grown by the U. S. Department ot Agriculture at its timothy- breeding station, Elyria, Ohio, since 1908, is now being distrib uted free among fanners in this state. Comparative lateness of maturity gives the new variety an advantage over common timothy. With regard to seeding, fertili zation, harvesting and yields, Arl ington differs little from ordinary timothy at the government farm. Since it matures about five davs later under ordinary conditions, the harvest season is extended sev oral days, which often is an ad vantage to many farmers. Farmers applying to the Experi ment Station at Woosler will be sent 20 pounds, or sufficient to seed asks year two -acres. All the station of the farmer is that next a report be given of its yield of seed or of hay and maturity as compared with an equal acreage of the ordinary timothy grown in his community. Have you planned to seed more land to clover this spring? The crop pays, by making the land more fertile besides yielding a good hay crop. For 17 years at the Ohio Experiment Station corn on unfertilized land yielded 6.2 bushels more to the acre in a three year rotation of corn, wheat and clover than in a five-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and j timothy. On manured land in the 3-year rotation during this time ' corn yielded 8.4 bushels more to the acre than in the five-year rota tion even though more manure was applied in the latter rotation. The Experiment Station credits this in- creased yield of corn largely to the clover crop because it comes once in three instead of once in five years. I Potatoes intended for seed should be removed from the cellar to a light, dry place as soon as dan ger of freezing is past. Tins will avoid excessive sprouting and con sequent deterioration of seed. Do not under any circumstances help chicks out of the shell. Chicks which do not have enough vitality to get out of the shell, either be cause of lack of vitality in the egg or because of faulty incubation, arc not worth having. Kill and burn all weak or crip pled chicks as soon as the hatch is over. Weak chicks are always a menace to the flock. Sign of Good Digestion. When you see a cheerful and happy old lady you may know that she has good digestion. If jour digestion is im paired or if you do not relish your meals take a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets. They strengthen the stom ach, improve the digestion and cause a gentle movement of the bowels. Ob tainable everywhere. CLAIRE H.

C. Emmerich was called to the chair. Dr. W. II. Rheinfrank gave a brief talk on the subject of "First Aid" and gave demonstrations with the aid of a number of Boy Scouts, of the various cases of sudden illness and injuries. The lecture was of much interest and highly instructive. Prof. Neitz spoke verv inter- cstingly of the public schools, their great mission and benefit to the public and the relation which the Civic Association should have with them. Dr. Canfield spoke upon the im portant subject of scarlet fever and the proper quarantine. He re ferred to the great danger result-! mg trom improper care m pre venting the spread of the disease. A letter was read relating to the recent petition sent to the Public Utilities Commission concerning the street car service in which the Civic Association was asked to aid the petitioners in securing the relief desired. On motion of Mr. Champncy seconded by Dr. W. II. Rheinfrank a committee of 12 members was appointed to con sider the advisability of taking action in the case.' This committee i will probably report at the next meeting. COURSE IN AGRICULTURE. Having completed the eight weeks' course in agriculture at flic College of Agriculture, Ohio State University.

It is be lieved that the popularity of the short agricultural courses will lead many Wood County bcrys and men to enter next year. Courses in dairying, livestock judging, animal husbandry, farm crops, and soil fertility were tho most popular this year. How to Prevent Croup.
