NOT A DEAD" GOVERNOR

Governor Harris Of Ohio may be a
tribe old for an active politician"
but his advanced age seems to be no
barrier against being an active gov
ernor Ohio which is always engaged
in the political game ought to feel re-
lieved because of the fact that it has
a live governor if he be considered
a dead politician and in this case it
looks now that even though he has
been dubbed a dead one" he will be
the nominee of his party two years
hence. A real understanding of duty
and the courage to carry out this du-
ty, are two essentials in a successful
and honable administration of affairs
il a great State and Governor Harris
has demonstrated that he is endowed
with these virtues of character as
we'll us many others.

INDEED.

In its wholesouled and generous en-.
dorsement Of Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt administrations; and in it's
admission that 1t was a Republican
congress that enacted the railroad
rate and the pure food laws. the
Sun-Telegram's editorial last night
was pretty good Republican reading.
The Sun-Telegram t%ruthfully says
that those who want the tariff re-
vised are the only ones who will re-
wise it," which is as much as saying
that it will be the party of Roosevelt
that will attend to this important
work. The Democratic party has new
er believed in a revision of the tariff.
It's leaders believe In a clean sweep
of the platter: absolute free trade.
The Republicans who are responsible
for the protection that has upbuilded
the industries of this country, will re-
wise the tariff, but they Will see to 1t
that the classes of industries that
must be under the protecting wing
are left there.

VILLAGE CONFEDERATION
All of the Business Houses in Howard,
Ohio, are Destroyed by Fire
Loss is $25 900.
Publishers PreSS1

Mt. Vernon, O., Aug. 2.-The entire
business section of Howard, a town
Of 500 population 10 miles east of
here. was destroyed by flames. The
loss will reach s25,0 600.
The fire originated in the grocery
and meat market of James Hess and
spread rapidly to Marion Tracey's
general store. Other buildings COM
pleteiy destroyed were Jacob West
rick's general store; the l. o. o. F.
building; the Hess building and the
undertaking establishment of Wolfe
& Critchield. Not a business block is
left standing.
The origin of the fire is a complete
mystery, but 1t is the opinion that
the Hess store was set on fire. The
residents OF the village were without
provisions and supplies were sent
from here.

ment and strengthening Of upright

places of those OF US who must nat
urally give way to them.
The present day Young Mems
Christian Association is the improved
product Of the years of experience
and experiment and is a magnificent
article for the use it is intended for.
1t is four-fold better than it was

plans and operations. have been
a continuous member Of its charging
and improving life, and l have been
glad to be a giver, because of the re
suits 1t produces in its touch upon
character and its influence in mould
ing the lives Of young men.
Il cannot, as a business man too
strongly endorse and underwrite the
work OF the Young Mems Christian
Association, as a practical and endur-
ing agency to benefit a city on the
side of the men who are now and who
in the future must be its most i'm.

The reader will at once notice the
immense amount Of potash required by
the cabbage crop: over IA times tho
amount required by cotton.
Where well manured and irrigated,

argesmall to medium heads are much
more salable-say three. to six pounds
each, selling at fve to ten cents, go OF
much more readily than ten-pound
heads at Is to 30 cents each. Then In.
close planting, the plants soon get to-
gether, shading the ground. preventing
evaporation and baking Of the soil, also
less waste Of material In spraying or
busting for insects
But where this close planting Is prao-
ticed, remember that when two or three
times the usual number Of plants are
set peI acre that proportionately large
amount Of manure and fertilizer will
be required.
Do not grow cabbage en- the same
land oftener than once in four or i've
years, as insects and diseases will in
crease to the extent Of making the
crop no longer profitable. To those
who will not heed this the experience
will come dear. The early cabbage crop
will come of in time to grow heavy

SPRING CABBAGE CROP.
with the Exception Of the Irish Pc.
tato, the Most Universally
Grown Vegetable.

With the exception Of Irish potatoes
there is not another vegetable 50
universally grown and esteemed as the
cabbage.
It is found on the tables Of all classes,
from the poorest to the richest, and
furnishes one Of the cheapest sources
Of nutriment for the laborer, either
fresh or in kraut. In the more north
ern states it is grown in immense guam
titles, the grower being able to get q
fair profit II he receives from six to
ten dollars per ton.
There are great many people In the
lower south who do not think that cab
bage will head for them.
That 1t does not head as 1t does fur
ther north II true, for the collard is
the result Of growing cabbage In an ad-
verse climate. In fact, II cabbage =
allowed to seed In south Georgia Of
Florida, for some years the disposition
to head will become less and less, until

genial climate will be overcome.
There Is scarcely q farm or vegeta-

that q cabbage crop does. An average

increase Of Diseases.

There can be no question that the
prevalence Of certain diseases has in
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these, states the
Practitioner, are diabetes and insomnia,
both Of which are largely due to the
mental stress Of a harder struggle for
existence. The Increased consumption
of alcohol and the free use Of narcotics
ere also responsible for many morbid
conditions unknown to our harder for
bears. But, in comparing the present
prevalence Of diseases with that of the
past there are several factors for which
me allowance issoften not made. One
of these is that our forefathers died,

are than their descendants; II they
lid not perish BY the sword they were
moved down from time to time BY
The plague and other devastating cpl

SAVING THE GOLD DUST.
Precautions That Are Taken IN ths
Manufacturing Jewellers
Establishment.

Washing machines seem all right
enough In q laundry. but they would
scarcely be looked for in the estab-
lishment Of manufacturing jeWeler.
Yet they play an important part IN
such plant.
In washing machine are washed
daily all the aprons and all the
blouses worn by the workers employed
in the manufacture Of articles Of gold.
Then the water in which these things
have been washed is piped to q room
where the gold contained In it Il ex-
tractcd and saved.
Particles Of gold adhere to the hands
and faces sof the workers In the pre-
cious metal, and even get into their
hair. Twice day all the operatives
wash their hands and faces; and the
water is, like that from the washing
machine, piped to the extracting room.
Here there is installed q big filter,
with its filtering section made. of can
vas, and resembling outwardly the
plated sectinn OF giant square con-
certina, as il would look partly drawn
out. All the water from the washing
machine and from the wash bowls In
the factory is forced through this fil-
ter; and at regular intervals the nj
tering section is taken out and the
gold removed from It.
All the floors in the factory are COW

fall upon 1t. From time to time .
new paper covering is laid on the
floors, the old being burned for the
gold contained In 1t. &
By these means there are saved In
factory thousands Of dollars worth
Of gold that without such precautions
would inevitably be lost.
