They blew Into town Monday after
noonfour wagon loads of junk and
greasy looking people and the female
mombora of the band immediately
proceeded to go out on the skirmish
line for coin on tho fortune telling
game.
As usual there were a few ready to
bite, but the husky, dusky dames
"touched" one man for $4 which
he afterwards decided was too high in
price tor the goods delivered, and the
"yelp" he made touched the heart of
Marshal Taj lor who called in ex
Marshal Billy Mills as his chief advis
or and lleutena'ut. After mature de
liberation, Mills decided that $4
was too much money to go out of town
in one lump unless it went to a Chica
go mail order house, and advised the
Marshal to immediatelv arrest the
petticoats, and together the two val
ient guardians of the peace entered
Trudeau's barber shop where they
were Immediately "tonsoriHlized,"
had their neck ties readjusted and
their oflicial badges polished and then
proceeded to make the capture. En
route to the scene of conquest Marshal
Taylor asked. Mills if it was proper to
carry his police club.
Mills was shocked and replied
"My noble chief, I blush to think that
one holding your exalted position
Bhould so far forget tho courtesy due
the fair sex." '
"That's all right, Billy," replied the
Marshal, "but these women 'aint fair
they look like greasers."
"What matter," said Billy, 'wheth
er white or ebon hue, you should act
with circumspection, determination,
deliberation and proper consideration
of the act about to be performed. Your
duty as an official requires that you
preserve the peace -with dignity and
decorum, ad libitum, ad valorum."
Touching hia hat with dignity, Mar
shal Taylor replied : "I bow to your
superior wisdom and age ; let us now
advance."
Arriving in the presence of the
dusky fortune tellers the Marshal in
troduced himself and "leftenant" and
made the arrest, in the most polite
manner by inviting "the ladies" to ac
company them for a short promenade.
With visions of ice cream the girls in
nocently accepted and it was real re
freshing to see those two brave but
bashful men walking down Main street
with dusky Amazons onjeach arm while
somebody's phonograph was heard
playing '-The Amazon March."
The procession eDded in Philip Wot-
jzel's justice ofllce, where the women
were given the opportunity to return
the $4 00 with $3.70 costs or go to jail.
This was a rude awakening from the
ice cream soda dream, but they dug up
the coir and left town.
The Boxwell-Fatterson graduates
of 1912, 141 in number, assembled in
tho M. R. church at Bowlipg Qreen,
the afternoon of June 15 to receive
their diplomas. It was a splendid
gathering of tho sons and daughters
of Wood county farmers. It goes
without saying that the families rep
resented in this large class of 1912
have reasons to be proud. The high
schools to which the most of them
will go for their further education
will be enriched by sturdy ana wor
thy students.
Supt. Williams, of Sandusky, presi
dent elect of the Normal College to bo
built by the state in Bowling Green
was the speaker for the class. The
orator showed to the young graduates
how well it pays to bo educated not
alone in the common schools, but in
the high schools and universities. It
was an address worthy tho man and
worthy tho class.
A quartet of voung girls furnished
tho music for the occasion and did it
most acceptably. The diplomas were
given by the county examiners
Messrs. McLaughlin and Beeman and
Mrs. L. L. Yonkers.
"Just tho other day I mot a stal
wart young fellow whoso every ap
pearance would indicate ho was a
'son of tho soil,' " says a writer in
a arm ana Jb iresido. "Six years ago
he left the old home. At that time
he had very littlo education, but by
steady, industrious laboa he has 'won
out,' and today is a promising young
lawyer. He told me that the first
year he left the farm he obtained
employment in a machine shop at
what seemed to his mind a largo sum
of money, $12 a week. He worked
hard for nearly thrco month?, when
one day he received a telegram from
his father, asking him to return at
once.
"Having left a delicate little mother,
he rushed home with all haste, fear
ing to find some great trouble, at the
end of his journey. His father met
him at the (station and calmly ex-

Auditor C. E. Stinebaugh is much
olated over tho fine showing made
by the personal property assessors of
Wood county who have made their
roports on the valuations of property
in their precincts.
He is justifiod in this, ior tho in
crease amounts to $1,838,700. Last
year tho same class of property
amounted to $7,003,950 for taxable
purposes, while this year it is 58,9-12,-710.
This means an increase of very
nearly sixteen per cent over the re
turn of last year.
The increase came about because
Mr. Stinebaugh had a heart to heart
talk with tho assessors and then an
other one explaining just tho situa
tion and letting them know how es
sential it is for local government that
valuations be' increased in order that
sufficient rovonucs may be raised un
der the Smith one per cent tax law.
So well did the assessors do their work
that it has not been found necessary
to send a single assessor back to his
district to look over the property
again.
Tho tax returns are not all in yet,
however, and much more personal
property will be added to tho returns
than the above, oil property and pub
lic service companies being yet un-assessed.

Mrs, Eugenia Chapman's report to
the superintendent shows that there

enough for any first grade teacher, but
the Bchool enumeration shows that
there is an increase oft'pupils of school

Ohio's 1912 wheat production will
be the lowest in a number of years.
Present prospoct indicates that the
average production per acre will bo
less than 7 bushels. Under normal
conditions general stato avoroge pro

per acre be low, but tho report shows
that 41 per cent of the original area
seeded last fall has been abandoned.
This leaves but 1,079,894 acres re
maining, and as many fields are in
such poor condition that they will not
pay for harvesting, tho area will
show a further decline from the acre
age abovo quoted. Many of these
fields were left standing on account
of the high priced grass seed sown
with tho wheat, and will be cut for
hay. The total harvest will not far
exceed seven million bushels. In

Friday evening June 11 brought
not alone the Boxwell-Fatterson
Commencement, but also the long
wished for rain. The latter was very
acceptable to Perrysburer township
farmers and kept many of them away
from the Commencement at Lime
City but enough were interested so
that the church was filled with friends
of the graduates and patrons of the
schools.
Supt. D. A. Baylor started tho
program promptly on time with an
overture by the Orchestra secured for
the occasion. Mr. Frank Harvey
school director in district No. 5 gave
the invocation.
Dwight DeVerna, declamed "Sue
cess in Life" a production from the
pen of James A. Garfield. This ex
ercise was given with an expressive
manner which carried to the audience
the truths the great Garfield had ox
pressed.
Florence Birkin told the audience
"Why men become Tramps." This
original oration was a splendid effort
for an eighth grade student. "Night
on Shiloh" was a recitation given by
Myrtle Frantz of the Lime City dis
trict. The recitation was perfectly
learned and its delivery pleased the
hearers. Gladys Simmons next fav
ored the audience with a violin solo
of merit. Two, essays "Value of
Apple Orchards" and "Alfalfa for
Wood County Farms" were read by
Elmer Blubaugh and Norman Curry
respectively. These exercises were
appropriate for the time and for stu
dents of Agriculture. Viola Kistler
a pupil of No. 11 next told of tho
"Importance of Littlo Things" a prao
tide solection by Smiles a well known
author.
The orchestra again pleased the
listeners by playing a march.

read up on corn and had also a practi

about birds and their great use to

was brought to the audience by this
exercise.

lullaby by Margaret Hitchcock of the
Lime City District.

the young gentleman had studied his

showed to the listeners her interest in
"How the Old Hoss Won the Bet"
and she certainly succeeded in inter
esting all of them. Tho last exercise
by a graduate was given by Audrey
Wagoner, an oration "Nature Super
ior to Art." This showed a great ap
preciation of the world on which we
all live but often do not see.

heard it. After a few closing words

large part of the crowd could not be

progress in this part of the country as
was manifest by the large attendance
and the excellent order and attention
which was maintained throughout the j
evening. The platform was

for the occasion. The class address

The music was furnished by the local

audience. The vocal selections ren
