It is estimated that there
295 tons of old steel car rails under
the streets of Kenton. On the
north end of Detroit street, Anstine
said, the rails are under some four
inches of paving while on the south

The cost of salvaging the steel by
digging up the streets would great

300 Putnam Men In
Service
Putnam county’s record of re
sponding generously to every call for
soldiers to fight for their country
down through the years has not
broken in the present national emer
gency, data on file discloses.
More than 300 Putnam county men
are serving the armed forces of
this nation, according to record re
ceived by the selective service board
of Putnam county. There are 140
listed as selectees with 169 enlisted
in the regular forces.
There are 66 men enlisted with the
army, 27 in the navy, six in the
marine corps and 70 in what orig
inally was the national guard, the
board reports.
Court Suit Over
Pickles
Pickles, not wheat, provided one
Putnam county farmer with unex
pected worries last week.
Albert Hovest is the farmer and
his troubles began when The Har
bauer Co., of Toledo, filed an action
in the common pleas court in Ottawa
seeking an injunction to prevent
Hovest from selling his pickles to
anyone but the Toledo firm.
Louis Weinberg and Charles Spe
rack were named as co-defendants
by the plaintiff firm which charges
that it has a contract with Hovest
which provided that all of his 1941
pickle crop is to be sold to the To
ledo firm but the co-defendants are
receiving some of the crop.
Two Fall From Barn
Roof
Wilfred Kruse, 24, of Ottawa, and
Ferd Siebenick of near Leipsic, were
injured Wednesday when they fell 25
feet while tearing the roof off a
barn at the Fred Hohenbrink farm

Ottawa.
Kruse, who is in St. Ritas hospital
at Lima, where he was taken by the
Fischer and Son ambulance, suffered
a badly injured back and chest in
juries. Siebenick sustained a frac
ture of the left wrist and body
bruises. The latter was treated by
a Leipsic physician and removed to
his home.
