Rodman Reunion.
[Crowded Outl

Crowded Out
On last Sunday, Aug. 80, the
relatives and friends began to as.
semble at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis Rodman, 9 miles
south of Logan, to hold their Sec
ond reunion. At 12 o'clock the
ladies spread cover for 81 people ;
chicken, pies, cakes and other edi-
bles good enough to greet the eyes
of the gods, under the spreading
branches of the large chestnut tree
where Mr.. Rodman played when a
little boy. After dinner the day
was spent in conversation and
jumping the rope.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs
Pete Hoppel and family, of Logan ;
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Funk and
daughter, Eva, Mr.. and Mrs Arch
Rodman and family, Mrs Jane
Snider, daughter, Clara, and sons,
Wesley, Ray and Joseph, Mr.
Alvah Drake and son, Will, Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Stone and
family, of Orland; Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Rodman and son, Thurman
of Haviland, Paulding Co.. Frank
and Homer Rodman, of Haviland !;
Mrs. Lucy Bay, of Scott { hio ;Mr.
and Mrs. Ben Cummings and fam
lily, of Logan; Mr.. J. A. Snider, of
Wellsburg, w. Va; Miss Anna
Rodman, of Columbus and Miss
Bertha Oliver, of Logan.
At 4 O'Clock the people began to
leave, wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Rod
man many more reunions.

"none of your business" answers
to the legislature.
1t will be entirely satisfactory
to the third term state auditor,
Mr.. Guilbert, who began as dep
uty, and to his candidate deputy,
Mr.. Fullington, for the governor
to talk about anything except un-
kept books and conditions in the
auditors Office concerning which
Mr.. Gullbert refused to answer
when officially questioned.
1t will be entirely satisfactory
to Walter +. Brown, the Toledo
member Of the "triumvirate, to
have the governor say nothing
about his candidate for attorney
general, U. G.. Denman, whom the
governor is to appoint to succeed
Wade Ellis, "after the election"
Judge Shauok, who wants
third term, kirtley who wants
third term, and all the other can
didates on the boss made ticket
will feel better if the gavernor
"bangs away at temperance" and
keeps mum about them.
Then there is the governors own
responsibility for state institution
scandals and his efforts to shield
the state auditor and state treas
urer from investigation by the
senate committee, after failing to
have these offices examined as re-
quired by law.
Governor Harris cannot run
away from his record, nor hide ii
behind question that is not an
issue in this campaign, near so
we'll as he performed feat of run
ming away from a temperance
meeting in Columbus last fall at
which Governor Hanley and Gov
ernor Folk made addresses. The
Governor of Ohio did not cordially
receive the governors of two other
states in his own capital city at a
temperance meeting. He was
afraid of defeating the saloon can
didate for mayor of Columbus.

Losing no Sleep.

u 'nllllCblHe AuNtIliseTJ
Republican politics began to
look up at lively rate Saturday,
as many of the county politicians
came to the city to learn what is
going on. 1t was generally known
that Hon. Albert Douglas was
scheduled to arrive in New York
either today or tomorrow from his
European trip, and all believe that
he will lose little time in coming
home.
As Boss Sullivan who IL oked a.
ter the Congressman's interests
dictated to the Central committee
that no convention should he held
until Mr.. Douglas got back, the
forty or more candidates, who
have been tramping the earth for
the last sixteen weeks, are now
breathing a sigh of relief as they
see the end IN sight.
Boss Sullivan has remained
closely attached to his saloon in
the east end for the past few week,
rarely coming up street, but he
has again played a master hand,
and predictions are freely made
Shat he will again name the great
er portion of the candidates. The
Boss's chief aim has been however
to see to it, that no scheme. should
be Matched for new County Cen
trail Committee and on that point
he wins hands Gown.
There are number of precincts
in which selection will be neces-
sary owing to removals but these
are being carefully looked after,
and if they don't give evidence of
giving the proper returns, new
precincts will be created in the
city to make up the loss. Boss
Sullivan has all the plans prepared
and is losing no sleep over what
the result will be.

pleasing and instructive in high
degree. Miss Oracle Wolfe next

last Rev. Bagwell was called, he
having been reared in the South

Dark Spot on Republican
Horizon
lOhio state Journal. I

There are many signs of hope in
the political horizon, and more
and more politics is being recog-
nized as an instrument to promote
the public service; but there ls
still one da'k spot that we cannot
help noticing, and that is the re-
nomination of 80 many men who
charged the state 1926 for what
cost them $l2. We are justified
in referring to this matter, now
and then, because it was one of
the meanest tricks ever served the
people of Ohio, and it is bad
omen that the people put up with
such bold piece of plunder. Peo-
pie who have any self'respect can
not become indifferent to these
things. What can they think of
selecting men to make laws and
spend the vast revenues of the
state who charge up an expense
six times greater than the expense
came TOP

Foraker Is Not Easy.

Toledo, o., Sept. 3-There is
to be no compromise between the
Foraker and Taft forces in OHIO
this fall. That has been made
plain by the meeting between
these two distinguished gentlemen
here.
Senator Foraker will continue
the program he has already out
lined and refuses tn take any
part in the campaign except as he
speaks at places whore the invita-
tion comes from outside the state
committe, and it was hoped that
a peace agreement could he
reached.
The outcome of a conference of
leaders was shown in the remark
of Senator Foraker after the close,
when he said: "rhere is no peace
pact between Mr.. Taft and my.
self, you may put that down"
The Taft leaders are plainly
disconnected and make no attempt
to hide their disappointment over
the result Of the proceedings here.

A Republican Ebb Tide.
Cincinnati Enqulrer.l

/
For any person, however ex
perienced in political affairs, 6,
say with absolute certainty tha
Ohio would elect the Democratic
state ticket this year would simply
be an expression of individua
oplnion and would be accepted
rightly as such.
To say, however, thet the trend
of sentiment and state of condl-
tions in Ohio were largely in favor
of the election of the Democratic
state ticket would be to put in a
sentence the calm judgement of
hundreds of men familiar with
the political affairs of the state
not in this, but in many past cam
paigns.
There are many rivelets OF
thought running adverse to Re-
publican success as far as the
state ticket is concerned, and in
the cities of the state the concen-
tration of dissatisfaction seems to
pretend opposition majorities of a
very decided character.
1t cannot be disputed that the
Republican party in Ohio is in
most disorganized plight and the
moods of it's former supporters are
the very opposite of those which
induce harmony and cordial co.
operation. Upon the other hand,
the Democrats of the state never
were fully united than they are
today, never displayed SO little
factional spirit, never had less
friction in their work than is
manifested in this campaign.
Since 1904 the discipline of the
Republican party in Ohio has been
on a steady decline and their haye
been individual and local revolts
and mutinies without number.
These have affected the party
from its center to circum Inference,
for they have been enc ,urged, in
cited and participated in by the
leaders of the party, from the
highest to the lowest rank.
The denunciation of Republicans
by Republicans in the memorable
campaign when Herrick went to
defeat contributed greatly toward
causing the rank and file to vote
the Democratic ticket, and thus
help the Democratic victory in
the state. For the years since that
defeat the record Is of continued
disintegratlon of the Republican
party and growing opposition to
the men prominent in state affairs
and to the measures and methods
they stand for. The taxpayers of
the state, the men who are called
upon to sustain the state burdens
and keep up the credit of the
state, are outspoken against the
present organizations perpetu-
alton of state control.
The people of the state of Ohio
have always taken delight in
smashing cliques or rings that
they think desire to rule. This
year gives them an opportunity
that they will not neglect, and
whatever may be the action of
Ohio on the electoral ticket there
comes from all parts of the state
most favorable reports as to
strength of the Democratic state
ticket with the masses of the
voters.
1t is an ebb tide for the state
Republicans; it runs strong and
hard, and shows no sign of turn

Alaska Wheat.

AS a result of an extremely
clever newsr aper and magazine
exploitation there is being foisteo
upon the public at price which
should be prohibitive, viz, 5000
per bushel, veriety of wheat
known as Alaska, "the great cere'
al marvel of the world" This
wheat was discovered or orlginat.
ed--the accounts differ-by one
Abraham Adams, said to be an
Idaho farmer. 1t seems to be eth
er winter or spring wheat as may
be desired.
In the spring of 1906 seven
pounds were seeded by Mr.. Adams.
From this seeding he harvested
1916 pounds, or "222i (P) times
the amount planted.
Then "Abraham began to
Dream" and it seems that he must
have dreamed that this would
justify the positive assertion that
Alaska wheat "has yielded 1921
bushels to the acre in large tracts" )"
for no other evidence is offered for
the latter statement in circulars
the Adams. Hobe Co. are sending
out.
1t may not be out of place to
say that it is not uncommon to get
yields of 300 and 400 told in thin
row planting of wheat
This crop of 1916 pounds (258
bushels) was seeded in the fall of
1905 and produced $4,000 pounds
1884, bushels In answer to an
inquiry addressed to Mr.. Adams
by the Ohio Experiment Station
he writes that "we sowed about
bushel to the acre" The yield
would then be 81 bushel per acre.
1t is serious drop of course
from 222 to 34.3 bushels per acre.
And the sad part 1s that the "two
and one-half billion dollars which
an enthusiastic periodical saw add
ed to the wealth of the American
farmer annually, may not mater
ialize.
The fraudulent character of the
claims made and the methods pur-
sued are very apparent. The
Alaska wheat is probs bly, worth
less even in the locality from which
it is being sent out, for recently
the Colorado Station has warned
farmers "to avoid 1t as they would
the pestilence.''
After having examined a sample
of this wheat the Ohio Experiment
Station is convinced that there can
be little question as to it's worth
lessness for Ohio conditions and
Ohio farmers are advised to let it
alone at anv nrice

How To Combat the Wheat
Jointworm.

i Practically the whole of Ohio
except Is or 90 of the northeastern
counties, has suffered more o.
less seriously from the whea
iointworm, the past season. Th'
loss to the state as whole has
been in the neighborhood of Is OF
20 per cent of the crop. Many
townships report damage of sc
to go per cent.
In some neighborhoods parasites
are making fine headway and may
save next seasons crop from per-
ceptible damage, Insects escap-
ing between harvest times and
winter through small round holes
cut in the walls of the straw para
sites and not the adults Of the
jointworm These parasites are
two. brooded and, If numerous,
will clean the stubble fields of
jointworm laryae before the open
ing of next season. The straw
from other localities produces but
few parasites or none.
The adults of the jointworm ap.
pear in late May or early June and
seem to prefer to lay their eggs
just above the highest joints
available at the time of their ap-
pearance, provided these stalks
are not so near to heading as to
prelude the possibility of larvae
within them from maturing before
the ripening of the grain. In the
latter case, younger or more back.
ward stalks eeem to be hunted out
and the nearly matured straws are
passed by. il only one of joints
need to form above the worms be-
fore heading, the kernels will
have time to fill and harden before
the sap flow ceases, while if three
or four must form the kernels will
be small, shriveled and light. The
wheat grower should therefore
keep these points we'll in mind
when planning for next years
crop.
l Sow from one week to ten days
earlier than is customary in your
neighborhood. Other things be.
ing equal, in every instance of
which we have knowledge, the
early sown wheat was much better
the past season, in badly infested
territory, than that which was
late sown.
9 Have the seed bed worked in
to the best possible condition be-
lore seeding.
3 Sow an early maturing vari-
ETY..
Fertilize we'll with commercial
fertilizer, barnyard manure, or
better with both. A formula con.
tanning 3 or 4 per cent of am.
monia, 8 to 10 per cent of phos-
phoric acid, and 2 to 3 per cent of
potash is suggested as suited to
wheat en- the average Ohio farm.
Apply at the rate of 200 to 800
pounds per acre. Wheat on poor
soil suffers in the same manner as
late sown wheat and for the same
reason, viz, it is late in maturing
and gives the worms too long a
period in which to work.
5 Sow as far as possible from
wheat fields of the preceding
year.
Last seasons experience proved
in numerous instances that where
all these points were observed,
fairly good crops could be obtain
