a disappointment to her. Her life was
a very unhappy one. Instead of love

consumption, she needed love and the
comforts of life. In the death of this
lady earth was robbed of a noble
woman. She is survived by one child.

|SOME GOOD RACING AT THE
SECOND DAY OF THE MEET.
Attendance Was Better Than the Opening Day. Though Not
What it Should Have Been.

The second day of the races under the
auspices Of the Canton Massillon Trot-
ting association was an auspicious one.
The attendance was much better than
on the previous day and while not as
satisfactory as 1t ought to have been
was yet not discouraging. The mem
bers of the association realize that they
must suffer somewhat from the short
comings of predecessors. They do not,
however, expect to take down very big
purse at this meeting, but matters have
been going very satisfactorily and while
there have been complaints such as are
always made, at such events where a
fellows judgment and his dollars are
placed on a biased proposition. Matters
appeared to be entirely on the square.
The judges took note Of whatever was
going on, inflicting penalty where 1t was
necessary, but Withholding punishment
in one or two instances not because they
lacked the suspicion, but because proof
was wanting.
The Canton Orchestral club was sta
toned in the grand stand and furnished
excellent music during the afternoon
Privileges were all well handled and
appeared to be in the hands of compe.
tent persons. The meeting Is being
conducted on a liberal basis.

Interesting Discussions at the July Meet
Ing of the stark County horticultural
Society wednesday at the Home
of ID. M. Nelswonger.

One of the best attended and most
interesting meetings ever held by the
Stark County Horticultural society was
the July meeting that occurred at the
elegant country home of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. M. Neiswonger. near Marlboro, We'd
nesday. Canton went UP In force.
There was a large picnic wagon and
several carriage loads and when the
crowd arrived and the roll was called
1t was found there were thirty-three
from this city. El,
The dinner was a triumph and at Its
close the address of the day was de-
livered by Attorney Atlee Pomerene, Of
Canton. He spoke of horticulture and
farming In general way and urged the
necessity of farmers studying the
necessities in the case and raising
such products as will not bring them
into competition with the big farmers
of the west.
After Mr.. Pomerene had spoken in
favor of farmers going into vegetable
raising more extensively Mr.. Neis-
wonger got on his feet to remark that
it was not possible for the farmers to
raise vegetables generally because It
required lots of help and help could not
be secured just when wanted. He said
it WAS necessary to stick to the old
crops which can be cultivated and
harvested with machines.
Entomologist McGregor read a spicy
and interesting paper on Bugs" He
spoke of the new varieties that have
arrived and heralded the news that
some of the old pests were disappear
ing.
Leonard Vandersall, of Canton, and
Mrs. Lizzie Reeder, of Marlboro, each
recited and addresses were delivered by
c. A. Dougherty and Judge Aungst.
There was lively discussion on the
question as to whether potatoes and
other vegetables could be stimulated tc
grow by electricity. Mr.. Faust scout
ed the idea that electric currents would
make potatoes grow.
Mr.. Fawcett, of Alliance, however
declared that electric lights were
valuable in the growing of lettuce and
he was not so sure but that electric
currents run through the ground might
make potatoes grow.
The question as to the advisability Of
trimming tomato plants was raised
Mr.. Hayhurst said he thought 1t woulc
not pay on a large scale and Watson
Wise declared 1t would make pretty
expensive tomatoes. q"
The committee on fruits reported thai
the prospects for fruit this year were
for apples 40 per cent of a crop; pear!
20 per cent of a crop; plums 80 per cent
and ounces 20 per cent.
The Canton delegation arrived home
at about $3.50 o'clock.

THIRD RACE.
two straight heats of the 1926 trot
when darkness overlook the event.
Four heats had been gone and the pref
tiest race of the day was well in hand.
1t was a large field and the talent had
been kept guessing because Of several
unknown quantities that had been en-
tered Robert T was we'll thought Of
and quite a few fellows were buying
Thomas. Oneonta was not so well
thought of but few wise fellows
bought her and, every heat being race,
had much the better of it when dark
ness arrived. The second heat, which
was gone in 2:24h Thomas came under
the wire first. The owner of Robert T,
William Shipley, of Washington Court
House, filed an affidavit with the judges
setting forth that Thomas had been
startd out Of his class. 1t is claimed
that he had made a record much lower
than 2:26. Samuel Money, the old fell
low who looks as though he had been
around the ring on very numerous oc-
casions, came into the stand and de-
clared that his horse had perfect right
to start, was not out Of his class and
that the judges could wire at his ex-
pense, to the man from whom he pur-
chased the horse, at Brownsville, Pa,
and get his history. Money said that he
did not know the pedigree Of the horse,
but that he would make every effort to
lget it. Under the circumstances he was
allowed to start again but he did not
take another heat during the afternoon.
Whether he wanted to avaoid taking the
race on account of the protest is not
known, but 1t looked as If he were driv-
ing his horse to win; at any rate the
judges thought so. Starter Lehman
continued to give good satisfaction dur
ing the afternoon.
