Comparatively few people realize the
vast resources of the Scioto marsh, says
the Kenton News Republican. There
are few more fertile sections in the
state and those fortunate enough to
own land there nearly every year re-
alize great profits on their crops. Just
now onions, that odiferous vegetable,
which has made Hardin county famous,
is the main object of attention. The
prospects for great onion year are
the brightest, although the siege of
wet weather has caused harder fight
with weeds than for many years. There
promises to be- a better out put of
onions than for sometime. Last
year there were 1900 acres of onions
planted and it is estimated that
there are fully as many this year. The
average number of bushels per acre
Is from 800 to 500, and an estimate
made this morning by man who is
well acquainted with conditions on the
marsh, gave the number of bushels
this year. barring futher unfavorablt
conditions. as $50. 900.
There are close to 1000 people work
ing on the marsh at this time. weed
ing onions. During the first three tC
six weeks this number draws from g.
600 to s., 600 per week for labor. After
the first few weeks this force is reduc

The Seventh Day Adventists believe
that the world is on its last legs
The ful6llment. in 179S, of prophe-
cy that they say is found in the Bible
relating to certain religious conditions,
marked the beginning of the time of
the end. the Adventists believe.
One Of the last signs of the approach
ing end of the world is the degeneracy
of the Turk. The Adventists regard
the conditions in Turkey as ominous
When the Turks leave Europe and es-
tablIsh themselves In Palestine, with
Jerusalem as their capital, as the Ad-
ventists believe they will, then will
they know that the end is at hand, and
then will they expect the second COM
ing of Christ
In speaking of the last days of the
world one of the elders said that the
end was referred to in the twenty-fourth
chapter of st. Matthew, which he quot
ed as follows: lin the last days the
sun shall be darkened. and the moon
shall withdraw her light; the stars
shall fall from the heaven upon the
earth; there shall be perplexity and
distress of nations. the sea and the
waves rolling; mems hearts shall be
failing them for fear for looking after
those things that are coming upon the
earth. -
The elder said tnst the eleventh
chapter of Daniel gave an account of
the events that would happen in the
world from the time of Daniel until
the end Of the world. Prophecies were
found elsewhere in the Bible. too, he
said, which clearly indicated the end
Of the world and the second coming of
Christ He stated that every prophecy
had been fulfilled mp to the forty fifth
verse. which, he said, plainly referred
to the Turk and conclusively proved
that the end was not far away. This
verse he quoted as follows: He 1.-THE
Turk shall plant the tabernacles of his
palace between the seas in the glorious
holy mountain, yet he shall come to
his end and none shall help him."
Tne Adventists believe that at the
second coming of Christ the wicked
will be destroyed and the righteous
taken to heaven. Then follows a per-
iod of thousand years during which
the earth is desolate. Then Christ
comes a third time, and the New Jeru-

Gradually that enthusiastic advice of
John Adams to celebrate the Fourth of
July with the full diapason of varie-
gated noises, which tine American boy
of all the generations since has faith
fully followed. is being discarded, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. The dynamite
cracker and other modern devices have
wrought against the patriotic jubila-
tion of the past. Now Chicago has or
ganized cautionary association which
aims TO provide every urchin in that
city with tirecrackers and torpedoes
galore, but he must shoot them under
the supervision of an official fireman, a
physician and q member of the new
society. And another curb is placed
on Young Americs-he must enjoy his
celebration in the parks and public
Fairgrounds only. Insurance COM
panies will be thus protected and eyes
and hands inundated to a less degree
upon the altar of freedom, but what
Journalism to inject into the festival of
the Fourth of July. The revolution
among the Juveniles will be as a stub
born as that of the colonials and its
success none the less decisive. All the
spontaneity, the essence of exploding
firecrackers, will be lacking in this
pedagogic drill of the children. Chi

but doubtless it will not.
