IN idle MOMENTS.

The Columbus Dispatch on Satur-
day sprung a clever idea on the peo-
pie of that city, on the
eve of Prince Henry's arrival. The
Dispatches first page cartoon showed
old Christopher Columbus, with one
foot on the step of the princes pri-
vate car, recounting his adventures
to the kaiser's brother, while the lat
ter sits on the step, listening with
all his eyes and ears. The old man is
explaining: And just as they were
going to chuck me overheard, some

the cartoon, the Dispatch suggests that
'if Prince Henry and Columbus be-
gin to swap sea yarns, that train will
have to be held longer than ten min

JONAH ON AN OFFICE.
Nobody Wants to be the Justice

tStaH specially
Akron, Feb. 27.-The village of Guy
ahoga Falls is still confronted with a
justice Of the peace's docket, and no
incumbent for the office. The office
has been rendered to round half
dozen Cuyahoga Falls patriots by
Mayor G. N. Russell, and all of them
have declined the honor. The cause
for this unusual diffidence on the part
of Falls patriots is that the last five
justices who presided over the docket
died while in Office. The last was
Squire John II. Rosemond, who died
more than year ago. Since then the
mayor has tried to have the Office filled
but all who were approached sidestep-
ped the honor.
II a candidate can be secured, an
effort will be made to elect a justice
at the spring election.

For a Saturday Half Holiday.

The News-Democrat believes the
time is ripe for the agitation Of the
Saturday half-holiday in Canton.
Some of the larger firms in the city,
notably the Debold Safe & Lock COM
pany, the Canton Steel Roofing COM
pany, the Gillian works, and others,
have been giving Saturday afternoon
to their workman during the summer
months when it was possible to work
full time. Some of the shops required
a half-hour extra work each day dur
ing the week. and the men were then
allowed to go home at noon on Satur-
day without any reduction in wages.
This plan has proven very satisfac-
tory to the great mass of laboring men
and entailed little or no loss upon the
companies employing them.
There are many reasons that can be
urged in favor of this concession to
labor. 1t is a well-known fact that a
willing workman is more profitable to
his employer than one who is dissatis-
fed. A man with grievance will not
do as much nor as good work as one
who is on good terms with those who
give him employment. A concession
of half a day a week, given for the
good of the men, could not fail to es-
tablish the most friendly relations be-
tween the employer and the employed,
and the result would be that the work.
men would manifest an interest in
their work and endeavor to repay, in
some manner, the kindness.
From the standpoint of the human
itarian, a relaxation from labor for
half a weekday would be beneficial to
the physical man, allowing relaxation
and rest, an opportunity to attend to
many personal matters and the indul-
gence in certain pleasures that have a
tendency to keep men young and make
life brighter.
There has been in some quarters a
demand for more rigid Sunday obser-
vance in Canton, yet those who most
strongly urge this seem to forget that
the only time the laboring clasAas have
for pleasure and relaxation is the first
day of the week. They spend the en-
tire six days preceding Sunday in close
shops at arduous work, and when the
day of rest does come it is little Won
der that the tendency is to avoid the
churches and seek even the more bois-
ferrous pleasures on the day that has
been set aside for rest and relaxation
Should the Saturday half-holiday be
observed, workingmen and their fam
lilies could attend ball games, picnics
and other places Of pleasure during the
afternoon Of the last day of the week,
and there is no doubt that Sunday
would be better observed than under
the present system. "The Sabbath
was made for man; not man for the
Sabbath" That is the plain state
ment Of the scriptures. 1t is evident
that our present labor conditions have
more to do with Sabbath desecration
than anything else.
The pulpit of Canton might we'll
urge this much-needed reform on
moral grounds.
What firm will be the first TO take
the initiative for the summer Of 1902?

company for 25 years, was discovered
Sunday morning by his wife in an out
house in the rear of his residence, 1907
Housed street, hanging from beam
with a clothes line around his neck.
The woman shrieked for help and the
man was cut down by his son Howard.
Aid, however, had come too late, and

ceeded.
About o'clock Sunday evening Dine
left tho house without hat or coat.
Fifteen minutes elapsed and he did
not return. Mrs. Dine became
alarmed and inquired at the house of
Peter Paar, neighbor. Not finding
her husband there, the woman ran to
the outhouse, where the shock awaited
her.
SLOWLY STRANGLED.
lHe Duiiulue was uCI uibh ehou5h
to allow Dimes body to swing free and
with his knees doubled up beneath
him, the man had slowly strangled
to death.
Dine was As years old. He had been
working in the wood department Of
the Aultman company for 80 years.
Several weeks ago he became seriously
ill with dysentery and has been suf-
fering greatly.
On Sunday he visited his brother
in-law, Henry Sexauer, in Meyers
Court, in the west end. He returned
home shortly before supper and SEEM
ed somewhat downcast. Shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock he left the house.
WIFE FRUSTRATED.
After the body had been cut down
DR.. A. B. Walker, of West Tuscara-
was street was called, but Dine was
dead. The physician was compelled to
turn his attention to the distracted
wife, who is prostrated by the shock.
Dine had sold the property where
his home had been for so long and it
was said that he was endeavoring to
invest the money in a new home in
the west end.
Dine is survived by his wife and four
children. The children are Howard,
who works for the Canton Hardware
company; Mrs. Harry Oliver, Ralph
and Lenora Dine. The funeral SER

DAIRY NOTES.

Clover is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
important.
To get all of the butter the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk.
Cows that are good producers of
rich milk must be good consumers.
In order to secure rich milk start
with rich COW and feed her rich
foods.
In small quantities cottonseed meal
is n good feed, but in excess it in
jures the butter.
Kicking COW that is lying down
may make her get up more quickly.
but it will not induce her to give any
more milk
If rock salt is kept in the yard where
the cows can lick it every day, there
is no danger that they will get too
much at once.
One of the most important condi-
tons of churning is the temperature O.
the cream. No guess should be allowed.
but good thermometer used.
