Dennis Junior high school, who la to conduct a second term of Richmond's Vacation Bible school to begin Monday morning, announces everything In order for the course Sessions will-he held In the Morton high school building. Inaugurated last year for the- first time in this community, the City Sunday School association was so satisfied with the results of the-work accomplished by the children, from 13 Sunday schools of the city that the three -week's course this year was but a natural result. As last year the school will be conducted only in the morning3 of five days a week. Instruction In recreation and hymn singing, as well as in the Bible, is on the program. Regular morning chapel win be held, at which time one of the local ministers will be in charge, a different pastor being chosen for each: day. School will begin at 8 o'clock each morning (new time), with a half hour intermission for open air recreation each day before the close of the session at 11 o'clock. In, case , of inclement weather the recreation period will be spent In the school gymnasium. Subjects Taught Missionary work, facts about the Bible and memory work, such as memorizing the books of the Bible, verses, etc., will comprise much of the school's activities. Prof. Heironimus, as weir as officers of the City Sunday school association point out that the school is interdenominational, teaching nothing conflicting with the doctrines of the varoua denominations. Noc only the text book to be used, but also the instructors are approved by a committee of ministers. Prof. Heironimu3 announces the following persons who will servo with him at the school: I Eighth grade, L. H. Lybolt, Miss Florence Ratliff; seventh grade, Ruth Hieger; sixth grade. Misa 'Mary Wilson. Jean Dunlap; fifth grade, Mablo Stafford; fourth grade, Dorothty Henning. Miss Alma Ewing will be in! charge of music and have supervision of all girls and small boys in their . play activities. Mr. Lybolt is to supervise the older boys' play. Estimated Attendance. 1 It 13 estimated there will be between 150 and 200 children enrolled from the various Sunday schools of the city. Experience from the school conducted lat year has caused the limitation of attendance to children not under nine years of age. There la no maximum age limit. Cost for each, child's attendance will be about $2.50 for the entire course,. It is estimated. Most of the city Sunday schools are defraying this expense for all those who wish to attend from their respective schools, but in some cases schools have announced inability to finance the instruction for their children. Parents are urged to send their children, paying this cost themselves, if they 6o desire.

cabbage ground finely and then subjected to extensive chemical tests without being able to discover even a trace of the arsenate. The prescribed treatment for the worms is to spray with a solution of a level teaspoon of lead arsenate in a pint of water, to which a piece of laundry soap the size of a hickory nut has been added. Spraying should be done before the worms burrow into the head, in fact as soon as the white butterflies, which lay the cabbage worm eggs, are seen. This spray has been used and found successful for three years at all experiment stations.
Incorporation Papers Filed By Local Company Articles of incorporation for the Edger Manufacturing company have been filed in the office of the county recorder.

tools, machinery, devices and special
ties, the papers state. MERMAIDS ARE ONLY AQUATIC ANIMALS From the Detroit News The real mermaids, the "sirens"
which early sailors saw in the sea
were nothing more than acquatlo an
imals belonging to the manatee or
dudong families.
These big. unwieldy beasts, looking something like overgrown seals, hold their young in their arms when feeding, and the heads of the two appearing above the waves led sailors to the belief that they were a species of human being which inhabited the sea. It is for this reason that both the dudong and the manatee are called "sirenia" from their fancied likeness
to sirens or mermaids, but the re
semblance ends with their method of protruding the head above the water, for all members of this family are about as ugly and unprepossessing as it is possible to imagine, having broad
flat noses, hanging jowls and tiny pig
like eyes set well back in their heads.

Wheat growers1 of Wayne county
who are uncertain as to the variety.
tney may oe raising, can compare their grain with samples which
County Agent J. L. Dolan or who wish
to know the points of other varieties which they are thinking of using, may take advantage of an exhibit of
samples which J. L. Dolan brought back from a three day conference of
county agents this week at Purdue.
Every variety which is grown to any
extent in the state is represented in the samples distributed to the agents by the extension authorities.
For those farmers who desire to settle upon one variety and possibly to get into the business of growing seed, Mr. Dolan announces that he has
located half a dozen fields in Wayne
county which are giving a good yield of wheat which is true to variety and available for seed. Preble county,
Ohio, farmers are standardizing their wheat, Trumbull and Gladden being the favorites, while in Shelby county, Indiana, 80 per cent of the wheat production also is of one variety, the Red Chaff. ' - Varieties shown in the Purdue samples which will be made up into a display for the inspection of court house visitors, include Michigan 'Amber, Poole, Michikoff, Trumbull, Portage, Zimmerman and Junior, all smooth varieties, and the bearded wheats as follows: Rudy, Kanred, Red Roc!;, Red Chaff, Turkey Red, Gypsy Farmers Friend, No. 717 Farmers Friend, Malakoff and Gladden. -.

. , ! A probable decrease In tobacco
plantings, varying from a, fifth to a
fourth of the acreage, is predicted by crop reporters of Preble county Saturday. A cut of 25 per cent in the tobacco acreage is predicted for this year by Frank Blackford of Eldorado, s specialist in this crop. The late sowing of seed due to the wet weather in spring and the delay in setting plants caused by the prolonged dry weather are blamed for the cut HaS t not been for these influences, Mr. I'ackford was of the opinion that the tobacco acreage would have been equal or a little in excess of that set out last year. "I have been forced to cut from tin 11 acres which I expected to plant, to 6even acres," said Mr. Blackford, "and have been waiting for a week to
do resetting in that field, and t work up spare ground in my garden to set out some more plants." Wheat has not been hurt so badly by the dry weather in the community about Eldorado as in many other localities, said the speaker. . Planting Half Done
Tobacco, planting is half finished, according to Frank Gar ell, of West Alexandria, and It was his opinion that the acreage would . be much reduced on account of the drought and the difficulty ia getting ground in shape for setting the plants. He set the figures for, the probable decrease at 20 per cent. Had it not been for the drought, he said, an acreage exceeding that of last year would have been set out The same position also received support from S. F. Andrews, manufacturer of tobacco cases in Gratis, Ohio. Tobacco plants are all in good condition and what have been set will make good crops, if rain comes in time. Bald the reports. No disease
has troubled the beds this year as seriously as In 1921. Reports on wheat yields are varying greatly, the variations of fields and farms in fertility showing up strongly this year. In a few cases the dry weather has not prevented the grain from filling out well, but more frequently light grain is reported. Small heads and stalks which
have not beaded out at a low height
are frequent. Poer OatCrop, The saddest reports are those, concerning oats. Many farmers say there will be no oats harvest worth mentioning this year, and from present indications, very few are expecting to put binders in the field unless good rains come very shortly to push the grain up a little higher. In both Ohio and Indiana. On both sides of the state line oats are heading out at heights of from four to eight Inches while very few fields are seen over 12 to 15 inches in height. Sowed late owing to the prolonged wet weather, many fields were not put in until after rains' had ceased and have never had a drop of water since they were sowed. "I'm going to, harvest my oats with the vacuum cleaner," said one Wayne county farmer living east of Richmond. Corn is the one encouraging sight for farmers worried by the drought. In spite of lack of rain, the only effect on most corn fields is that the plants are not growing as fast as usual. In a few cases only is corn dying as yet and generally it still shows a thrifty dark green and is of good height Soil moisture in corn fields
has been better conserved than in small grain fields, and is still sufficient for needs of the corn. Even here, though, farmers are hoping for rains soon to push the corn a little faster.
