Winter Course In Agriculture

The Bulletin of the Win tel
Course in Agriculture has just
been published by the Ohio State
University.
This course opens January llth
and closes March 10Th. ten weeks,
and is intended for practical farm,
ers.
1t was first offered in 1907,
when 1876 students enrolled, and
in 1908, when 1913 students enroll
ed, and it is expected that a very
much larger number will attend
this year.
The bulletin gives full descrip
tion of the different subjects
taught, requirements for al.
mission, expense, and other
matters of interest to studen ts.
This bulletin can be obtained free
by writing to Dean of the College
of Agriculture, Ohio State Uni
yersity, Columbus, Ohio.

BOOse Boats.

One of tie results of local optior
rhas been the effect upon the
revenues of the state and counties
under the Aiken tax, Something
over half million dollars has beer
affected, most 1t of being cancelled
by the dry victories. Each saloon
that is voted out must quit bust
ness at the end of 80 days. il
! gets refunder of such part OF
the Aiken tax as is due for the
period between the closing and
end of the six months for which the
tax was paid. OF course, since
the elections were held 80 late in
the year the amount lost on this
account is not considerable, but
will be heavy next year, and the
two years following. A large
part of the revenue, however, is
paid in counties which have gone
wet and those which have not
voted at all.
1t has been found that persons
holding government licenses can
sell liquor on Ohio river boats
without infringing upon the Ohio
law. Under the ordinance of
1887, which set apart the North
west territory, out of which this
state was carved, no part of the
river is in Ohio, the state line ex-
tending only to the river at low
tide. Taking advantage of this
fact line of steamers has been
chartered and fitted with saloons
and will travel up and down the
river. 1t is believed, however,
that it would be illegal for one of
these vessels to tie up at the port
of a municipality in a dry county
and sell liquor.

OBITUARY..

This is a bright, beautiful world.
yet the brightness and beauty are un-
noticed, for GRIM merclless death,
has appeared in our midst and snatch
ed away the companionship of a
father, brother and friend, Jacob
Primmer who died at his home in
IIaydenville of dread typhoid fever,
November rs, 1908.
He was the third son of Samuel
and Elizabeth Primmer, and was born
in Laurel township, Hooking county,
Ohio. on the 4th day of July. 1861, de.
parted this life at the age of AZ years,
four months and ID days. In March,
| 1889. he was united in marriage to
Minerva Matheny and this union was
blessed with four children, two sons
and two daughters. Jesse, John and
Mary Primmer, aud Mrs. Victoria Rid.
dlcbarger.
On December II, 1893 his wife
died leaving him to care for the -four
small children. the oldest being about
nine years old He was both father
and mother to his children and reared
and young women. He loved his
children and they worshiped him.
In February, 1884, he united with
the Bible Christian church at Cook s
Chapel, near Haydenvlle He was
happily converted to God and later
transferred to the Haydenville NJ. r..
church. where he was always pres.
-, l,al O.,
him to go to church. He was devoted
to the young and always attended the
| Young Peoples Epworth League,
where he was most cordially welcom-
ed. many times he being the only
man present in the Epworth League
room.
For the last 20 years he had been
n member of the Odd Fellows at Hay
denvile. and had always been mem.
Der in good standing in that frater.
nifty.
He leaves to mourn their loss be-
sides his children, one grandson, viii,
Der Riddlebarger. and four brothers,
George, of Nelsonville. Edward and
! Joseph of Logan, and Silas of Colum-
bus. and many other near friends and
relatives.
The funeral services We're held at
the Haydenville M. r. church, under
the auspices of the Odd Fellows, Rev.
Orr preaching the religious services.
Interment was made by the side of
his wife in the Haydenville cemetery.
His father, mother and two sisters
preceded him to the spirit world.
3 The Judge of all the earth will do
right. God is close by. Let the light
of His presence and love shine into
all our hearts. There is much of
mystery, but it is not darkness. His
presence giveth light. We can not
know all the meaning of our sorrows
and Affections, but God knows and
some day we shall know, and under
stand. The dying assurance of one of
Gods children is greater monument
than can possibly be built by man.
May we all fortify ourselves with His
presence and with all the redeemed
gain the eternal home.
One by one the flowers are taken,
One by one the roses fall
God has given, God has taken,
Dearest Father, we bear the pain:
For a loving one has promised
We in heaven shall meet again.
The golden gate was open.
A gentle voice said come"
And while farewells were spoken,
He calmly entered home.

Local Option Offenders.


Since the local option election
there has been much said as to
how the law would be violated re-
garding the sale of liquor in this
county. The first offender to get
in the clutches of the law is Ormell
Stevens, of this city, who was ar
rested by policeman Oscar Smith,
Friday evening. He was caught
in the act of giving away liquor
and taken before Mayor Jones,
who assessed fine of $50 and
costs, amounting in all to 1853 So.
In default of payment he was sent
to Jail.
This is the first offender as yet
arrested and a sure case was made
when taken before the mayor. 1t
is limited that there are several Of
Tenders in the city who are SEEM
ingly insensible to the fact that
sooner or later they will haye to
pay the penalty. All should take
warning from the arrest and fine
of this man and at once feel sure
that every eff prt will be put forth
to have the laws in that respect.
obeyed.

Presidential Ethics.

On the eve of the presidential
election in 1901 Judge Alton b.
Parker publicly declated that a
large sum of money, reaching into
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
had been contributed to the Re-
publican campaign fund by certain
great corporations, to control the
result of the election In the city Of
New York, and that George B.
Cortelyou, chairman Of the Re-
publican committee, and Presi.
dent Roosevelt were aware of the
fact.
Both of them denounced Judge
Parker to the whole country as an
unmitigated, conscience ess liar
who ought not only be defeated
for president, but driven out of
decent society, as a common liar.
Within less than year great
insurance company, while totter-
ing on the brink of destruction,
yielded up the documentary evil
dence that it's policy holders had
been robbed of tens of thousands
to help make up money with which
the election in New York was to
be controlled
Then followed the statement of
f. II. Hartman that he had been
called to the White House by
President Roosevelt, and with his
knowledge and approval he re-
turned to New York and raised the
fund, part of it from the Stand
ard Oil interest, that made sure
that the electoral vote of New
York should not be cast for Judge
Parker, and he furnished the
letters to and from the president
which coroborated the statement
that the president knew that
Judge Parker told the truth and
not falsehood, in his statement.
Immediately thereafter Mr..
Roosevelt organized the Ananias
club and appointed Mr. Hartman
perpetual president of IT.. His
we'll known modesty and dlstsste
for publicity prevented him from
joining his own club.
A short time previous to the
late election, when the presi-
dent and the Republican lead
ers feared that the opposition in
the ranks of labor to the Chicago
platform, would lose them the
presidency, a newspaper CORE
spondent at Washington became
cognizant, from high official
source, that Labor Leader Keefe
had been promised the position of
commissioner of immigration i'm
mediately after the election if lie
would refuse to support Bryan
and support Taft with all the in
fluences he could command.
The newspaper man was de-
nounced as liar by the president
and Mr.. Keefe, and Samuel Com.
pers was denounced as the inven-
tor of the falsehood, or at least
the prompter of it, and it was
made the occasion of an extra
slam against Mr.. Bryan.
What is the status todayS Mr..
Keefe has been appointed to the
commissionship, just as the news
paper man said he would be; the
president admitted, when he ap-
pointed Mr.. Keefe, that the news.
paper man was speaking the truth
when he was denouncing him as a
liar.
Some people may think that te-
cause man is president re is
privileged to violate all the rules
of ethics, but the most of us do
not.-Col. Press
