Adyertisin. for Farmers.

Probably not half dozen farmers in
the country ever dreamed even that it
would pay them to advertise. Adver-
tising by them is looked upon as the
means only Of disposing of the
goods Of the merchant. This however,,
is one quite natural for them 70 hold +,
for the reason that they never gave any
attention to the subject; and the reas-
on they never gave advertising any
thought is because it has never been
suggested to them that printers ink
could be proftably used. 1t has never
occurred to the average farmer that if
he had COW, ahorse, dozen hogs or a
flock of sheep to sell, that fifty cent
ad. would reach hundreds of people
and would probably be the means of
sending him dozen buyers, Not only
would the ad. be profitable to him in
disposing of his stock Immediately, but
it would be an advertisement for him
for months. Buyers who did not want
to purchase when the ad. appeared
would remember him and perhaps visit
him in the future. When a farmer
wants to sell horse or a COW, how
does he now advertise the fact? He
tells his II, ighbor something like this /:
"If you see anybody that wants to buy
fine COW or good horse, send him
around" That's as far as the farmers
advertising goes, and nine times in
ten the neighbor never thinks of the
"tine COW" or the "good horse" again.
When anybody has anything to sell,
advertising will bring results, and it
can be made as profitable to the farm
er as to the merchant.

Reason In the Lower Animals,

We have q fox terrier whose happi.
ness was complete until Dodgerfield
came. She is very affectionate, conse-
quently very jealous. If looks and
growls would kill, Dodgerfeld would
die many times a day. Both dogs eat
from the same plate, but not at the
same time. One day last week we fed
Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was
veTy hungry and begged hard for first
dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more
slowly than usual, and Nettie watched
dolefully.
Finally hunger got the better of her
honesty, and she barked sharply three
short barks. Dodger left his plate and
sprang to the window, looking excitedly
up and down the road. Nettie looked
neither to the right nor the left, but
made straight for the plate Of food as
soon as Dodgers back was turned. II
this was not an exhibition Of reason and
human intelligence, then mankind in
general possesses large degree of ami.
NAL instinct Dog Fancier.

Of course this does not make the
road an assured fact but it IS good
indication that the company means
business, and it seems to be the gen.
eral opinion both here and in Elyria
of those who are nearest the promot-
ers of the line that it will surely be
built
There are yet wo weeks before the
time will have elapsed in which the
company must file its bond for $4,000
guaranteeing Reconstruction of the
road. When this is filed every doubt
of their sincerity will be removed.
The Owl received a dispatch from
Wellington this morning stating that
an agent of the Elyria & Oberlin cleo
trio road, had been there for several
days past, engaging men with teams
to work on the construction of the
line. The dispatch further stated that
the work of grading would begin sim
ultaneously at both ends of the line,
and pushed rapidly forward, but the
statement was not made when the
work would begin.

A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE.

Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
Of Islands.
Whatever may be Said-and much can
be-of the beauties Of the Alaskan coast,
it is not inviting to the seafaring man,
and especially the master who is taking
ship by the inside route from Puget
sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first
time, feat, so it is claimed, impossi-
BILE of accomplishment by continuous
voyage save through the assistance Of q
good pilot. This passageway-formed
by the mainland coasts Of British Co.
lumbia and Alaska and chain Of is
lands ranging in length from to $50
miles-is from 100 yards to several
miles in width. The channels proper
are Of unusual depth. In places from
800 to 400 fathoms Of water are fire.
quently found. From the smooth, CLASSY
surface lodges and reefs, assassins Of
the sea, lurk, ready to send some ship,
humanity laden, to the bottom. In these
waters the lead is supplanted by whistle
echoes from the land, this being the
only method during fog by which the
captain or pilot guides his vessel along
q safe way.
Old sea captains say there Is no wa
ter course in the world where in unfa.
vorable weather such skill is required
as to guide a ship via the channels on a
voyage from the sound and return, the
round trip to Sitka being more than
half the distance Of the voyage across
the Atlantic. The Pacific Coast Steam
ship oompany's vessels running to Alas
ka are always manned with two pilots
each in the winter and spring and are
never without one pilot. With at least
two Of this company's vessels now run
ming to Alaska the captains themselves
served an apprenticeship of many years
at plotting.
The outside passage, the one by the
open ocean, is seldom used, on account
Of the unfavorable winds which prevail
for distance Of over 30 miles out to
sea, rendering vessels progress much
slower, to say nothing Of the danger Of
ships being caught in gale and driven
ashore. With the danger from wreck
almost eliminated by the employment
Of professional pilots, the inside passage
is rendered most delightful voyage, as
1t abounds in beautiful scenery and is
free from winds. Seattle Post Intelli-

An Important Victory for Treasurer
Chapman in Tax Case.

An Important Victory for Treasurer
Chapman in "A Tax Case.
The decision of Lorain county case
by the supreme court will be the
means of adding hundreds of dollars
to the available funds of the county
and a decisive victory for County
Treasurer Chapman who has done
service for the entire state in secur-
ing settlement of veXed question
of taxation. A Columbus dispatch
contains the following:
The supreme court yesterday hand
ed down a decision of the greatest
general Importance, and one by which
the state and different counties will
be enabled to collect large amount
of taxes, of which they have in certain
localities heretofore been deprived.
The case was that of II. p. Chapman,
treasurer, against the First National
Bank of Wellington. 1t was brought
up ON error from the circuit court of
Lorain county.
The case grew out of the effort of
the treasurer to hold the owners of
stock in the First National Bank at
Wellington subject to taxation on this
stock. The stockholders denied their
liability and endeavored to offset their
debts against the stock, claiming this
to be their right under a decision of
the United States supreme court in
the case of County Treasurer Whit
beck against bank that was carried
up from Cleveland. In that case the
United States supreme court held that
under the Ohio statute national bank
stock should be held as credits to off
set the debts Of the holders.
The treasurer of Lorain county be-
gan his case in the common pleas
court and the greatest interest was
excited throughout the state, since
the outcome would be equally opera
tive upon every holder of national
bank stock in Ohio. The common
pleas court decided in favor of the
treasurer, and held that the stock
could be taxed. The circuit court ov-
erruled this. By the decision of late
the supreme court sets aside the de-
cision of the circuit court and affirms
that of the common pleas. The court
holds that the individual owners of
national bank stock cannot treat the
stock as credits for the purpose of
taxation, and offset the same with
their individual Indebtedness, but are
obliged to pay taxes upon their stock
at its cash value in money, irrespec-
tive of the amount they may other
wise owe. This discussion is in op-
position to the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case in
the case carried there by Attorney
General Watson from Cleveland, and
is evidently made on the belief that
the Ohio statute was enormously GER
titled to the United States supreme
court in that case. Attorney General
Monnett took that stand in pressing
the present suit, and the decision is
a great victory for him as well as To-
rains treasurer. There is in the state
about $45,OOO,OOO of national bank
stock that, had the court held other
wise, would have been largely free
from taxation, as offset by individual
indebtedness. Under the courts
holding, this is all subject to taxation.
This will bring in many thousands of
dollars year to the state and various
counties. The decision is one of the
most important yet handed down by
the court.
