Billy Thomas, of Girard, who
pitches for Youngstown, is said to
be the man who introduced the
spit" ball into this league. Thomas
mastered the moist fling while a
student at Grove City college and
when that team went around the
o. and p. circuit for a series Of
exhibition games he worked It with
great success against the profession
ais. Jack Dolan and some of the
Older pitchers tried It, but with in
different success. Then the old fell
lows went back 10 the regulation
styles and let the new tangled

OF the o. and p. pitchers have mas

success. Ace Stewart, of Marion and

upon that style of ball.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANTING
MORE TREES EVEN If Pos
TfRITy REAPS THE
BENEFIT.

\ great man once said that he
was "A public benefactor who made
two blades of grass grow where
there was formerly one. How
much greater is he who makes a

was monet Any man who buys
lumber Of any kind and remembers
the prices prevailing twenty years
ago fully understands that the sup
ply is not keeping up with the de-
mand. If the next generation is
to have timber it must be provided
for now.
Persia was one of the richest,
most prosperous and most popu-
lous nation on earth. Much of its
decline and decay is due to the
fact that no thought was taken for
the future. The sites of the
greatest cities of ancient days are
deserts and the fertile plains are
sandy wastes only because there
was no conservation of natural and
artificial aids for the benefit OF
later generations. Plant trees.
Plant lot of them. This is the
thing for every farmer and every
owner of more than IA city lot to
do and to do it very often.

FRAUDS
CHARGED IN OWEN COUNTY BY
STATE INSPECTOR HINES.

State Inspector and Examiner
Henry B. Hines Wednesday sub
mitted to Governor Beckham his
report of the investigation of the
fiscal affairs of Owen county. He
declares that the most prazen
frauds to deprive the State of rev.
enue from the taxes paid by citi-
zens of that county have been
practiced by number of sheriffs,
and these frauds are branded as
deliberate and INTENTIONAL for
the unlawful gain Of the sher-
ifs"
This investigation is based
upon charges filed by County
Judge w. p. Yancey, and the
other members of the Owen
County Fiscal Court, that money
paid to the sheriffs of said county
by numerous property owners
whose names were not on the as
SCISSORS books was not accounted
for or paid over to the State and
county.
These charges are fully sus-
tanned by the facts developed.
During the period covered, years
1893 to 1905, both inclusive, not
only have the sheriffs of said
county collected taxes from prop
erty owners, where there were no
records of the assessments and
failed to report or account for
same: but they have also collected
from others, where assessments
are on said books, though the
amounts of same are not included
in the additional or totals by
which the sheriffs were charged.

DELICATE CHILDREN.
Advice to Nit. Sterling Mothers
Who Have Delicate Children.

If we could only make all fathers
and mothers in Mt. Sterling regard
what we say there would be fewer
sickly, delicate children on our
streets.
Rapidly growing children need
great deal of vitality. They grow
fast, play hard, and work too hard
at school, and many such children
are tired, thin, pale and worn when
they ought to be robust and rosy.
Every rundown. growing child
in Mt. Sterling should take Ninol.
our delicious cod liver PREPARATION
without oil. 1t requires almost no
digestion at all and cannot upset
delicate. weakened stomachs as do
old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emissions. Ninol also contains
pepUOlilUe Oh iron.
1t strengthens the digestive or
cans, makes new vitality, sound
flesh and muscle tissue. strong bone
structure and pure. rich. red blood.
Ninol fills out hollow cheeks and
makes thin little arms and LEGS
plump and round.
Said Mr.. W. :. Lloyd, our local
druggist I'VE cannot recommend
Ninol too highly for puny. weak
and ailing children. to build up the
rundown, Over-worked, tired and
debilitated, or to give renewed Vi
tally to the aged, and we cheer

COURTS TO DECIDE
GREENSBORO ELECTION.
Dry Forces Contend County As
Whole Rules.

In spite of the majority of 442
against prohibition in the city of
Greensboro, there is a question in
some quarters as to whether Ow-
ensboro went wet" or dry" in
the local option election. The Pro-
hibition people will make an at
tempt to have the court hold that
the licensing of saloons in Owens
boro is prohibited by the result of
the election in the county as a
whole.
The county as whole went
dry" by over 1900 votes. The
contention will be based primarily
on a single sentence of the County
Unit law, or, generally speaking,
on the rather ambiguous nature of
this amendatory act of the Legis-
lature of when an election
is held in an entire county and a
majority of the legal votes cast at
said election are against the sale of
Intoxicating liquors. then it shall
not be lawful to sell, barter or loan
such liquors in any portion of the
county" This is the portion of
the law on which the Prohibition
lists will principally rest their case.
