STARK RANKS
HIGHEST IN STATE
Report of State Board of Asri-
culture Very FIatterins to
Stark Farmers.

The annual report of the state board
of agriculture is in the hands of Au-
.ditor Reed for distribution to the
farmers of Stark county. The COM
parative tables in the reports of the
products of the several counties show
that Stark ranks in front when it
comes to productiveness and agricul-
tural wealth. While the average wheat
crop for the year was only about 12
bushels to the acre, Stark led all other
counties in the total yield, having pro-
duced 421,273. Paulding was second.
with 395, 200.
The yield of oats was Al bushels 10
the acre, the total being 1,209,319,
Stark ranking fourth. Little rye or
barley is raised in the county. There
were 1,23l,722 bushels of corn raised
and S35,517 bushels of potatoes. In
these products the county is we'll up.
There were 1860 horses reported.
giving the county third grade in this
respect. Stark is second to TrumbulI
in cattle, having 2S,S29 head. It is in
sheep that she falls down, there being
only 24,S29 reported. BY way of COM
parison it may be noted that the hills
of little Carroll report nearly 10000.
When it comes to milch cows Stark
county is again prominent, ranking
second in the state, and she produced
more hay than any other county.
Taking the report all through, this
county ranks higher in the total ag-
ricultural products than any other in
the state, as her yields are diversified
A resident cannot study the report
without feeling pardonable pride In
the showing made.

GASTON'S CASE.
An Invalid for Five Years and
Was Then Cured by Neu-
ropathy.

One of the most surprising cures
that has ever been performed by DIR.
e. F, Larkins with his new system,
Neuropathy, is that of Mrs. w. H. Gas
ton, who had been an invalid for five
years; and not able to go to the near
est neighbors, living just across the
street, and who was so low that at
times she had to be fed by assistants
and had given up all hopes of cure.
She has been restored to perfect health
by DR.. Larkins. She will not be
obliged to pay enormous doctors bills
any more as the cures of Neuropathy
are permanent.
This is most certainly a wonderful
cure and in itself is sufficient to build
up for DR.. Larkins an extensive prac-
tice. He is located in rooms 20 and 81.

Massillon, Jan. 2O.-Will Gregory, a

thugs, near Pocock's Glass works this
morning at / o'clock. Gregory had
been in the city spending the evening
with friends and about midnight start
ed for his home, walking along the
C., l.. & W. track. When he neared
the works two men rushed out and
showing revolvers in his face, COM
manded him to hold up his hands.
One of the men held him by the
throat while the other went through
bis pockets, taking $17.S5 in cash and
some valuables. They then threw him
on the ground and stripped him Of his
clothing, taking everything he had on,
rven his underclOthes.
Gregory made his way into tho
glass works almost frozen. and the
men on night d'ity went home and
gathered up some clothes in which he
dressed and went on home. The po-
lice are investigating the affair but no
arrests have been made yet.

The Peril that Threatens

PennsyIvania's Bossism for Years Has
Bereft Her of Influence in National
Affairs and the Same Calamity
Threatens the Buckeye State.
columbus Citizen.)

columbus Citizen)
~ HE PHILADELPHIA Times Pub
L fishes an editorial on THE Pass
ing of Ohio" in which it tells how, in
its opinion, the Buckeye state is declin
ing in political powe,'. The Times
says in part:
I'VE have many signs now that its
influence is on the wane. The west
has moved further west. 1t is not to-
day in the Mississippi valley, but in
the Rocky mountains and on the Pa
cifc slope, and Iowa is the new mid
die ground. Her star seems to be in
the ascendant. Mckinley has gone
and has made way for young east
erner, who thrills with the spirit Of
the far west. The old soldier has gone.
Hanna is going. The sheep has gone
and browses in Montana, Wyoming and
in the distant state of Oregan. Civ
ilization in looking for new centers has
taken up it's stand on the western
shores of the Mississippi river"
Then the Times goes on to show how
Iowa has taken the place which Ohio
formerly held inSational affairs. There
is a great deal of truth in the state
ments of our esteemed Philadelphia ex-
change. Ohio's prominence in the past
has been due partly to chance and
partly to the character of her people
and their representatives. AS the ma
tlon grows in population it is not reas-
enable to suppose that any one state
will have as much influence as Ohio
has had for number of years. We
do not believe that Iowa has attained
the prominence Ohio had or that the
Hawkeye state ever will be as infiuen-
tial. 1t Is not probable that any state
will furnish president after president as
Virginia did in the early history of the
republic, or as Ohio has done in the
past thirty years. There are too many
states and too many people for one
state to have a monopoly of great men.
One fact in favor of Iowa is that she
Keeps her public men in congress for
many years. Continuous service OF
congressman always adds to the in
fluence of state and changes of con-
gressmen are entirely too frequent In
this state. When the present senators
and eleven representatives from Iowa
shall have completed the terms for
which they have been elected, they will
have served total of 140 years, or an
average of over 10 years each; while
the two senators and 21 representatives
from Ohio will have served 124 years
an average of a fraction more than
five years. Bossism and statesmanship
cannot flourish together. Pennsylvania
has found that to be true. The hui
initiating lack Of influence of the Key
stone state In national affairs is due to
the domination of corrupt bosses and
the same peril threatens Ohio.
