Major Ortt was for a number of years treasurer of the National Military Home at Dayton. Ditch Construction Asked. Frequently landowners oppose proposed construction of county ditches, but seldom is it that a landowner resorts to the courts in an effort to compel construction of a ditch. John H. Weadick, farmer, furnishes the exception. Weadick and others petitioned the county commissioners to construct a county ditch, but the commissioners saw fit to turn down the petition. Weadick has appealed from the commissioners' finding to common pleas court. He avers he would have to pay a large proportion of the cost of the improvement, which he is willing to do, and that the ditch is necessary and would be conducive to public welfare and convenience.

WAYNE CHINCH BUG INFESTATION SEVERE
Even larger numbers of chinch bugs than were present last year are reported by a number of farmers in different parts ' of Wayne county, according to J. L. Dolan, county agent. A field of corn southeast of Middleboro 6howed severe infestation when inspected recently, the bugs having come from a wheat field adjacent. Waist high corn already was beginning to wilt in the edge of the field, while the bugs were moving on toward smaller and weaker corn farther inside the field. Some bugs also were found in a corn field across the road where it was easier to reach than the other corn field. On the farm of Frank Blose north of this one, every field is infested. Inspected by Mr. Dolan yesterday, a 26 acre field of corn with wheat on each side, was found severely damaged already. Oats also are suffering. Other farms in many parts of the county chow concrete evidence of damage to the plants even from the first brood of bug now present, in many cases even complete destruction of the plants attacked. Even worse dam age may be expected from the second brood, Mr. Dolan warns the farmers. The recommended treatment, although doubted by some, is a positive barrier to the advance of the bugs, as is shown by its effectiveness on the farms of Ben Gaiser near Centerville, and R. B. Morrow east of the city. Postholes dug as traps on the latter farm were half filled with bugs, practically all the bugs were caught and damage to corn was prevented, none being found in the fields although they were swarming in the small grain fields near by.

1922 COIN CROP COMPLETE FAILURE
By KENNETH. W, CLARK (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, July 7. The 1922
coin crop a complete failure.
American pockets are so full of silver that there- will be no nickels,
dimes, quarters, or half-dollars coined this year, F. E. Scobey, director of the mint announces.
As for pennies, only a paltry $70,000
worth have been coined at the Denver
mint, as against $492,000 worth the
preceding year. "There have been approximately $46,000,000 worth of pennies coined since the mint began in 1792," said Scobey. "So what's the uses of making more, when about the only things you can still buy with a penny now-a-days are lollypops?" This is the first time in 108 years that half dollars have not been coined; the first time in 93 years that no quarters have been coined; the first time in 97 years that ho dimes have been
coined; with the exception of the year!
ixti, tne tirst time in 57 years that no nickels have been coined; and with the exception of the years 1815 and 1823, the first time since the beginning of the mint in 1793, 129 years ago.
that so few pennies have been coined. This is the first year since 1905 that silver dollars have been coined. In 1905, $8,812,000 silver dollars were coined. This year the order is for
$50,000,000, under the provisions of the Pittman act, which required that for every dollar melted into bullion during the war to be sent abroad as a loan to our allies, a new silver dollar would be coined when the war was oyer. About $150,000,000 in $20 gold pieces will be coined this year.

and TticiviighJ4ihuigcj Records The high mileage records of Firestone Cords continue to emphasize the fact that Firestone methods are different and better. These records, steadily increasing in number and in mileage totals, justify the Firestone contention that there is one best way to build tires. Among the primary sources of Firestone extra mileage is double gum-dipping the saturation of the cord plies in a vat bf liquid gum thus coating each cord and virtually eliminating , internal heat and friction. Another is Firestone air bag curing, with its 200 pound pressure, which places every cord accurately and equalizes the tension. By blending the rubbers of different plantations and types, and by tempering it before mixing, Firestone men add still more mileage. Many cord tires are good a few are better Firestone users say one is best. Those who have already experienced Firestone mileage, have stopped shopping and experimenting they have made these cords standard equipment. , Investigate your friends' success with Firestone Cords and buy your next tire accordingly. Come in and get your share of extra mileage. FABRIC

The Player-Piano Sensation of the Year!
A MONTH or so ago $365 couldn't buy a player-piano equal to the
r-k community Moaei uuioransen anywhere m the United States. Today $365 buys it everywhere in hundreds of cities from one end of the country to the other. That's because the Gulbransen is Nationally-Priced-sold everywhere at the same prices.
If we said to you, "This $500 Player-Piano, Now $365," it would not mean anything. We might as well tell you it is a $600 player.
!fO But we do say this: That we challenge
comparison with any medium-priced player. That the National Price, the Gulbransen prestige, the 10-year guaranty and our own recommendation assure you of a square deal as well as a heaping measure of value. That, since the war, it has been impossible to buy a player-piano of like quality at as low a price as $365.
Don't Wait! Our allotment of the Community Model is very limited. Choose yours now! Quick action is imperative.

Just a small initial payment and a few dollars a week put a Gulbransen in your home.
