Wilson vs., Mckinley

The Sunday newspapers, Demo
cratic and Republican contained the
following notice, OctoBer 27, from
Youngstown, o.:
"More money was paid out to the
workingmen Of this city yesterday
afternoon than ever before in one
day. The Brown Bonnell iron com
pany gave its workingmen $50,
for teree weeks work. The Andrews
Bros. Co, Union iron and steel COM
pany and Ohio steel company, made
up the balance Of $l25,000. ALI
these concerns are running to their
capacity do BILE turn. The Ohio
steel plants go to work at 6 o'clock
Sunday evening and work double
turn until o'clock Saturday eve
ming. The prospects for continu-
alton Of this condition are bright, as
orders are plenty"
Doyou see which way the wind is
blowing? This is from Ohio, the
state of which Bill Mckinley, the
author of the tariff that paralyzed
our industries, is the governor.

University Notes.

Football is still the cry With
one more victory added to the list,
our teams begin to think they are
inyincible. The first team is now
practicing twice each day, under the
coaching of MeCrory, of the Uniyer-
sity OF Pennsylvania, and Howard,
of Latrobe. The line has been great
ly strengthened by placing South at
center and Krebs at guard Itgives
Krebs better chance to use his gil
gantie strength and returns South to
his old familiar place
Howard will play half back in the
Marietta game Reynolds will be
back in his old place ON left end.
Leps will also play. Coach McCrory
will play as substitute. If one of
our men should he injured, the team
will not be weakened by the addi-
ton of McCrory. His running and
lodging is phenomenal
The Marietta game is exciting
more interest than has any hereto
fore. Every member of the team is
going in to win. The cowardly act
OF Marietta, in refusing to play base
ball last year, when our nine was en-
tirely too strong for them, will not
be forgotten Their very rough
playing in last years football game,
will also be remembered All will
be settled on the 9th.
The boys are going from here full
ly 100 strong. The round trip will
cost $455, Parkersburg is fully
awakened to the Importance of the
coming contest, and will do every
thing in its power for us. Those
present at the game played there
last year, can testify as to their hos
pitality.

graduate of Yale College as he appears
day. He is Rev. Samuel Bissell. Of
Twinsburg, a village few miles north
of Akron. Ohio. He is In his Goth
year, but enjoys comparatively good
health, and will doubtless reach the
century mark. Although 1t Is more
than three score years since he grad
uated from that institution OF learning.
he delights to hear of the success OF
Yale students in sports or studies. Rev.
Mr.. Bissell was born in Middlefield.
Mass. in 1897. He came. with his
fathers family, to Portage county in
1906. He attended school at intervals,
and helped his father to make home
in the forest. In 1916, determining on
better education, he made his way,
on foot and alone, to Yale College.
There with but few dollars on which
to commence his college life, he COM
pleted the full course, with no aid save
his own head and hands. He graduated
| with honor in 1928
Soon after returning to his home he
took charge of the Congregational
Church at Twinsburg, and except for
| few years spent as pastor of other near
by charges, Twinsburg has since been
his home. He opened a private school
| there in 1926, which, growing rapidly.
| induced him within few years to es-
tablish the Bissell Academy of Twins
burg, a place of learning which in its
| time had wide reputation. Men who
| became prominent as judges. senators,
governors and ministers are among
| those who received part of their edu-
cation at Bissell Academy.
Rev. Bissell was : great friend OF
the Indians. Hundreds were taught at
the academy, and their board and lodg-
ing provided gratis. They came from
all parts of the west to receive at least
little of the white mans learning. No
one applied at the academy in vain.
| Whether or not the boy or girl. for
both sexes were taught. had money 10
pay the way, if an education was asked
it was given. The enactment of a law
in 1916 for public school in Akron
was the beginning of the end. That
city was the pioneer in Ohio securing a
public school. and other towns soor
followed its example. The attendance
at the academies and private schools
decreased. The preacher and teacher
became old, and Bissell Academy was
closed many years ago. Near the ole
school building, however. is pleasant
home, and Rev. Mr. Bissell. with nc
other companion than his aged wife
is spending his well-earned rest there

1t was the great financier's chief de-
light to spend hours remote from the
click of tickers and the clack of Wall
street in caring for his flowers and
shrubs at Lyndhurst. The mansion is
handsome and comfortable, without be-

branches of fine old trees, environ its
towers. and in summer form CRATE al

and private rooms were all designed for
comfort rather than show. yet each is
not without certain elegance. Here

airy; and the picture gallery is rich In
good paintings. Lyndhurst-on-the-

tress that she spends the greater part
Of her time there. Like her father.
she is devoted to flowers and trees. and
finds none OF the charms OF urban lie
sufficient to wean her from them.

The cultivation of that succulent and
seductive vegetable, asparagus-that
dainty, tuberous root, foreign to our
soil-requires both skill and science,
as the asparagus farmers of Oyster
Bay, on Long Island, can tell you, says
Once a Week. The great plantations
down among the marl-beds in that Sec
ton need constant attention, but they
yield rich harvest. Early asparagus
is sometimes worth its weight in sill
yer, if not in gold; and at all seasons
when it can be had it is of ready sale.
The plant loves a dry, deep and pow
erfully MANFRED soil, and needs con-
slant attention. The ridging up, the
gathering. packing, punching and bind
ing, and shipping to market, demand a
large corps of men and women in and
around Oyster Bay. What is hand
somer or more appetizing than one of
the savory bundles of the tender blue
veined shoots? Like the basket of
Strawberries, it ushers in the delights
of summer. Every family must have
it's feast of asparagus; and so what Won
der that the Oyster Bay asparagus
growers prosper?

The others having been taken to Icl
Obeid, which the Soudanese had taken,
