Gas Supply at Oberlin Held as Inadequate
Oberlin July 12 The gas situation is serious. Presently Pittsfield Gas Co wells nearby provide an inadequate supply and no renewal of the contract with Beret tape line Co.

Grape growers from Cuyahoga Lorain Erie and Ottawa counties will meet in Sandusky to plan marketing of the yerra crop, which is very good this year and likely to be wine.
