State Revonuo From Automobiles
In Ohio For Highway Repairs
That Ohio will realize a million
dollars net revenue from the auto
mobile department this year is the
statement made by Secretary of
State Charles Q. Ilildcbrant to
Fred H. Caley, Secretary of the
Ohio State Automobile association.
September 1 number tags had
run up to 108,000. According to
Hildebrant the cost of issuing each
set of tags has been reduced to 54
cents. By the end of the year,
Sl.000,000 will bo ready to turn
over to the state highway funds.
According to a provision written
into the highway code through the
efforts of the automobile organiza
tion, all of such funds may be used
only for the maintenance and re
pair of roads.
By reaching 108,000 September
1, Ohio becomes the second state
in the Union in the number of
automobiles licensed, having pass
ed Illinois and California.
"In Ohio the automobile is en
courgaed by the building of good
roads and non-excessive license
fees," said Secretary Caley. "The
rural districts of Ohio are responsi
ble for the great increase in motor
car owenrship, and there have
been large purchases by families
with incomes ranging from $1000
to S1800. This is made possible
by the decreasing initial cost and
maintenance of automobiles."
SPECIAL WARNING
To Corn Growers Concerning The
Care of Seed Corn.
Owing to the generally backward
state of this year's corn crop in
many of the northern but import
ant sections of the belt, there is
danger of injury to the crop by
killing frost, theoccurance of which
may be expected at any time. It
is therefore important that every
effort possible be made to secure
good seed for next year's- crop.
Where any last year's corn is left
it should bo gone over and the best
cars saved for seed. Moreover, as
corn matures unevenly, it is possi
ble to secure seed from the early
ears before the rest of the crop is
matured.

The Wood county fair has come
and gone, between showers, and
although the weather tried hard to
put the annual event out of the
game, the Fair was, as usual, the
only real county Fair in the State,
exceeded in excellence only by the
State Fair at Columbus. The act
ual ticket sale was 4.4,439.
The people of Wood county arc
to be congratulated.
They helped make the Fair.
But the Directors of the Fair
company are also to be congratu
lated upon their wisdom of man
agement and one of their most
sensible acts in that respect is the
employment of one whom wo be
lieve to be the most capable secre
taries of any similar enterprise in
Ohio Mr. R. A. Sweet.
And Perrysburg is entitled to
some of this honor, for it was in
Perrysburg that "Ruck" as we call
him, received his early education.
Old Perrysburg Hi' claims him.
Wasn't he one of the brightest
scholars in the school in the old
days?
Didn't he stand at the head of
the class in all his studies, and the
public "exhibitions" as they were
then called?
Didn't he help steal the clapper
out of the old bell, and doesn't he
now hold possession of that old
"Clapper" that pounded out the
call to study for the youth of Per
rysburg nearly 50 years ago?
Verily, it is so.
And when it comes to doing the
Secretary job for the Wood county
Fair. "Ruck" is also at the head of
the class and we hope he long
mains on the job.
He's some secretary.

to the very root of cold troubles. It

pines have ever been the friend of man
in driving away colds. Moi cover, the
pine-honey qualities are peculiarly ef
fective in fighting children's colds.
Remember that a cold broken at tho

PECULIAR ACCIDENT
A peculiar accident at Lemoyne,
Wednesday evening resulted in the
complete demolishment of Dr.W.
G. Emery's automiblc by a north
bound Hocking valley passenger
train. The machine was returning
from Toledo when the front wheel
on the left side caught in a frog of
the railroad crossing and could not
be dislodged. Dr. Emery applied
all possible power to pull the car
from its dangerous position but
was unable to get it out.
Efforts were made to flae the
onrushing passenger train but the
signals were seen too late and the
engine crashed into the front end
of the auto, throwing it against a
telegraph pole and reducing it to
wreckage.
One unusual feature of the
wreck was that although every
part of the car was reduced to kin
dling wood, one of the headlights
was still burning when the mem
bers of the party started an inves
tigation. Sentinel.

For sale by all doalora,
Much anxiety is felt in regard to
Mr. John Seiving, 50, a farmer of
Pembcrville who is believed to have
been slain. Late Tuesday night
when the farmer failed to return
home from town where he had been
transacting business during the
day, an alarm was sent out.
Seiving's horse was found tied in
his stall but the wagon was missing.
It was found in the river near the
Seiving home, two miles south of
Pembcrville. Tracks of at least
two men in a cornfield near the
bridge leads the officers to believe
that possibly Seiving met with
violence.
It is their opinion' that Seiving
was killed and then thrown into
the river, the assasins taking the
horse home to cover up the evi
dence. They are unable to explain
as to how the wagon happened to
be in the river.
NARROWLY ESCAPED
On Sunday morning the slippery
condition of West Front Street
was responsible for two accidents
which narrowly escaped being ser
ious. When Toledo parties turned out
to pass a buggy, their auto skidd
ed and crashed into tho board
fence along that part of the street
just at the edge of the steep em
bankment. A fence post saved
the machine from sliding down hill.
A few hours later another auto
turned the same trick at the same
place and cut off the fence post
but miraculously escaped going
over. " - -,
On Saturday night an auto ran
into and wrecked the left front
wheel of a buggy. The occupants
escaped uninjured.

and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy

STOLEN AT THE FAIR
An automobile belonging to Find

Fairgrounds last Friday afternoon.
The theives started for Toledo,
evidently, but ditched the machine
near the Bend and made their es
cape. Officers are looking for
them, but could gain very little
clew.

D. & M. R. R. wreck in 1863. He
was a lieutenant and in charge of
