The appointment of John Kasson as
Commissioner of Reciprocity is an ex
ceptionally strong one. Mr.. Kasson is
eminently fitted for the position, being
a diplomat of experience and note.
While representing this country at the
courts of Germany and Austria, he
brought about commercial relations
between those countries and the Urited
States, affecting our interests most
favorably Mr.. Kasson is hard at
work organizing his new bureau.

that they were partial to the Perrys-

"spoons" that do not enter into the
equipment of the restaurant in Perrys-
burg or elsewhere, and are chiefly
known as appertaining to that period
in life when everything takes on rose

process of fulfillment. These are the
''spoons" that are universally popular
and are without doubt the only ones to
which the sisterhoOd of Bowling Green

1t is estimated by the officials of the
Department of Agriculture that this
country sends abroad annually in the
neighborhood of four hundred million
dollars for farm products. There is
small doubt but that many of these
articles could be produced III the
United States if the American farmers
had more definite information in
regard TO the cost of their production
and methods of cultivation. Investiga-
tions looking to this information are
what the Agricultural Department is
engaged in at present, as it is the desire
of Secretary Wilson that as much of
this four hundred million as possible
shall be kept at home. Mr.. Wilson is
proving the most practical and popular
man who has ever been at the head OF
the Department OF Agriculture. "Uncle
Jerry" Rusl1, the first Secretary OF
Agriculture, appointed by President
Harrison, WAS n genuine farmer aud
an able Secretary, but much OF the
| NbEh VI bhS DepdtJiuShI was III iu
embryotic and experimental state
Under Secretary Morton much OF the
work remained at standstill or retro
gaded-the beet-sugar industry, fol
instance. But Secretary Wilson has
taken hold OF the work with "A will anC
has instituted more Investigations ant
experiments in behalf of the farmer o
the United States than were eyer
thought OF heretofore, and they are
bearing fruit too. 1t Is predicted b,
the friends of the Agricultural De.
+ partmeut that that branch of the Gov
ernment will, in the near future, bt
one Uf the most important and influ
entinl in the cabinet.

United States this year is destined to
be he chief supply of those nations who
canno5 raise enough of bread-stuffs for
thair own consumption. Russia's eX-
ports of grain have amounted to only
about sixty-fve per cent. thus far, of
those Of 1896, and now word comes that
all further expectation will be stopped
by reason of the extremely short crop
of this year. India, Australia and Ar
gentine will be able to contribute little
fanything to the worlds market, thus
leaving the American farmer master of
the situation.

There was only 1898 majority against
p new Jail in Wood county. There is
no doubt that new one is needed, but
the people seem to desire to wait
awhile, and while they are waiting it
viii be we'll to remember that Perrys-
burg has jail out of which no prisoner
ever escaped until the Sheriff turned
the keys and permitted him to pass
Trough the doors. Perrysburg will
undoubtedly be neighborly and permit
the county officials to use the only gen
uine jail in the county until Bowling
Green is provided with new pig sty.
