GARDEN CLUB
Has Been Formed for Members of
Boys Department at Y. M! C. A.

e. c. Myers, superintendent Of the
boys department Of the Y. nj. G. A,
has formed a boys garden club for
the season. Each member Of the
club is to have a garden and raise
any thing that he desires to in it.
There will be prizes for the best kept
garden and for the best products from
the gardens. The boys have gone in
to the work with enthusiasm and
some of the gardens are already
planted and the rest will be in day
or so. L. H. Koch has offered cam
era for the best garden and it is on
exhibition in the boys rooms at the
Y. M. C. A. other prizes will be
given when the season is over. The
leaders, of the department will make
inspection tours every week to see
how the work is progressing and to
decide who will get the prizes at the
end of the contest.
Mr.. Myers stated that it was his
intention to get a tract of ground of
about two acres and plat the ground
into gardens for the boys, but the
lateness of the season prevented his
carrying out his designs and he is of
the opinion that the individual gar
dens at the boys homes will answer
the same purpose.

SCORES PROHIBITION
chicagoan Says Law Applies Only to
Poor-Nothing Touches Rich.

Toledo, O., May 18.-Clarence s.
Darrow delivered a scathing arraign-
ment Of the prohibition forces here
this afternoon before an immense au-
dience. In the course of his speech
he said:
Regulate the political conduct Of
the working man by his personal con-
duct alone. Destroy the hope of lib
erty in man and you assassinate the
human soul. The working man needs
all the liberty he can get. He does
not always use it well, neither does
the other fellow.
'These people are like John Cal
win. He knew much of the kingdom
Of heaven, but little of the kingdom
of earth. The great trouble Of such
men is that they attempt to tackle
the kingdom of which they know so
little.
prohibition only prohibits the poor.
/ can get all the liqcor I want if l
have the money. 1t does not touch
the rich. Nothing touches the rich.''

MOTHERS DEATH
CAUSE OF INSANITY

Worry over his mothers death has
caused Herman Klinefelter to go in
sane and it was necessary to take
him to the Massillon state hospital
Monday afternoon at 3 O'Clock. About
the noon hour Mayor Turnbull re-
ceived word that the man had either
dropped dead or taken another fit at
his little place in Maple avenue and
a coach was sent there to take him
to the city prison. He was unman-
ageable and the patrol wagon had
to be sent for. the mayor and De-
tective Brisbin assisting in the care
of the man. After witnesses were ex-
amined Monday afternoon it was de-
cided that the man was a fit subject
for the hospital. While in the city
prison he spent his time in singing
religious hymns.

COAL LANDS LEASED

Salem, May 1S.-The B. C B. Fuel
and Coal Company has the past week
leased hundreds of acres of coal lands
between its present property on the
Main street road and the railroad
lines of the Y. & o. and Pennsylvania
on the Franklin road. The compile
tion OF a mammoth project by the
company will, it is said, entail an out
lay OF one million dollars. 1t has
closed deal for the triangle of land
near the Franklin road crossing of the
Y. & O., this at one time being a pro-
posed site for the removal of the
Buckeye and also a manufacturing
site for Milwaukee company, which
at the time was promoted by DR.. Phil
lips and Attorney Coburn.
1t is said to be the intention of the
company to sink shaft on the Frank
lin road at point between the Y. &
o. and Ft. Wayne and then tunnel
back to the present shaft on McKin-
ley avenue. In addition to this, it is
the intention to build an electric rail-
road underground by which hundreds
of tons of coal can be taken out daily
for shipment over the Y. & o. and Ft.
Wayne. This will be a distance Of
nearly two miles and it is said to be
the solution of the problem which the
company has been up against since
the shaft was first sunk. There have
been schemes as to the way the coal
could be gotten to the railroad, the
last one being to use the local electric
line. BY the latest move this idea
seems to have been given up.
In case this troject is completed it
will give employment to hundreds OF
men and be a big thing for the city
and company as well. 1t will also
probably mean the location of little
village at the Franklin road and Sells
Crossing. Work on Tire immense pro-
ject will, it is said, start in the near
future.

LIGHTING
Bid Accepted by Board
Of Public Service.
Nothing Doing
ABOUT THE GAS LAMPS

The first meeting of the members
of the board of service for sweek
took place Monday morning, Messrs.
Lauffer and st. Clair having return
ed from their trip to Washington,
where they went with Superintendent
Ohliger to attend a water works con-
vention. They took up the lighting
proposition at noon, when bid was
received from the Canton Electric
company for furnishing all-night cleo
trio lights in the city, instead of
many that were lighted only upon
what is known as moonlight sched-
ule
There are BAG of these moonlight
schedule lights and the company made
a proposition to allow them to illum-
mate all night and every night for
the sum Of $459.75 in addition to the
amount that they have been paid, pro-
viding that the contract will begin
July 1, 1908, and will continue until
April 16, 1915. It was also stipulat-
ed in their bid that the arc lights
would be lighted on an all-night
schedule during the month of June
entirely free Of cost to the city. A
resolution was adopted instructing the
clerk of the board to communicate
with City Solicitor Blake and have
him draw up contract in accordance
with the proposition made by the
electric company. There was but one
bid in for electric lighting in the
city, the present company being with
out opposition. Nothing was done in
regard to the lighting of the remain
der of the city, which is covered by a
system of gas and gasoline lights, al
though the present contract expired
last April. For the present the old
contract is still in force, but men,
bers of the board say that the ques-
ton will come before them at some
other time.
The board has decided to ask the
council for an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of enlarging the bear
enclosure in the ZOO at Nimisila park,
as Park Superintendent Brooks thinks
the present pen is entirely too small
for the keeping of the family of Mr..
and Mrs. Bruin, which now consists
of six members. He desires to have
the mother and father removed from
their offspring, as at times the male
bear takes a notion that his family
is too large and attempts to kill the
cubs.
Superintendent Ohliger will take up
the matter of looking after the
trenches that are filed with stagnant
water in the old Union dam property
complained of at recent meeting OF
the board of health.
The mid-month's bill of the different
departments under the control of the
board were allowed, as were the sal
aries of the many employees.

CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more &C.
we're than any others. But when a man Is
unable to eat even a light breakfast for
years, without severe distress, he has trou-
Bile enough.
1t is small wonder he likes to tell of food
which cleared away the troubles.
Il am glad OF the opportunity to tell OF
the good Grape-Nuts has done for me-"
writes N. H. man. For many years l was
unable to eat even a light breakfast without
great suffering.
After eating l would suddenly be seized
with a terrible attack Of collie and vomiting
This would be followed by headache and
misery that would sometimes last a week or
two, leaving me so weak l could hardly sit
up or walk.
Since l began to eat Grape-Nuts / have
been free from the old troubles. | usually
eat GTape-Nuts food one or more times a
day, taking it at the beginning of the meal.
Now can eat almost anything | want with
out trouble.
When l began to use Grape-Nuts l was
way under my usual weight, now weigh 80
pounds more than ever weighed in my life,
and am glad to speak Of the food that has
worked the change"

WOODEN LEG
Saved Man From Drown
ing in TurkeYfoot Lake.
MassilIon Attorney
Helps
SAVES THREE LIVES

Akron, May 18.-Clarence Mclean
and Attorney Roy Wilson of Massil-
Ion, saved three men from drowning
in Turkeyfoot lake Sunday afternoon
in the midst of the storm by prompt
action with their power boat. A Grip
pie who was in the overturned boat
was kept up by his wooden leg until
help arrived.
The three fishermen were from Mas.
sillon. Their rescuers did not know
them except that one was named
Ewald and another Heck. They hired
a boat at Kepler's landing and were
some distance from the shore when
the terrific storm that swept over
the county Sunday afternoon struck
the lake. The waves were several
feet high and the boat was swamped
and the occupants turned into the
water. All three could swim a little
and struck out FOR shore.
Wilson and Mclean we're the only
other persons on the water and were
a quarter of mile away when they
heard the cries of the three men.
Throwing on the full power Of their
motor they fought the waves until
they reached the scene OF the upset.
Two of the swimmers were on the
point Of exhaustion when they were
drawn into the launch. The cripple
had made his way half of the distance
to the shore and had gone under
His body was kept up by the buoy
ancy of his wooden leg which pre-
vented him from sinking. He was
pulled into the motor boat and re
vived after reaching shore. All three
men recovered and were able to &c
home in their wagon.

MIR. PRICE AS A PROPHET

Theodore II. Price, who has
achieved a wide reputation as a
"fgurer" on the cotton crop, first
on one side and then on the other, has
sent out circular under date of
jan a, in which he has no difficulty
in proving to himself at least, that
the present crop will be around 49,
100000 bales Holders of cotton will
not be alarmed by the figures of
Theodore" as the ginners' report has
shown that a crop within million
bales of the figures named would be
almost an impossibility.
1t was Mr.. Price who figured less
than a year ago that the season of
1867 would close with the stocks
entirely wiped out, whereas there
was actually CARED over more than
a million and quarter bales. 1t is
but fair to Mr.. Price to say that he
topped" before the season was
over. But it only shows how straight
he can shoot at this distance from
the finish.
There was a time when Mr.. Prices

HOKE SMITH, THE WOBBLER

Il believe in local option. Can
didate Hoke Smith.
Il favor local option Gov. Smith
in inaugural address.
81 thank God that I have lived to
see this day."-Gov. Hoke Smith, in
signing prohibition law.
The prohibition law is too dras-
tic. All we needed was to get rid
of the saloon. I would like to see
it in Georgia as in Germany where
everybody drinks beer, etc, etc."
Gov. Hoke Smith at Savannah, Jan
uary, 1908.
Does anybody know where Gov.
Smith stands, with such a record as
this? A few months ago he was an
ardent local optionist Then the
strength of the prohibition movement
sent cold chills up and down his
gubernatorial spine, with its sena-
torial aspirations, and he was CRATE
full to providence that it had been
allotted to him to sign the bill that
was intended to shut liquor out of
Georgia. Now he thinks Georgians
should initiate the Germans, have
beer gardens, and spend their spare
time in them drinking beer with
their fraus and children.
Really when a politician gets in
office and bankers after better job
he has hard task to sit steady in
the boat. But getting first on one
side, then on another, and now and
then on top of the prohibition fence,
is not calculated to inspire a deep
sense of respect for Gov Smith
Where do you stand, anyway, gov
ernor? Are you still a local OPP
zionist, are you a prohibitionist, or
do you believe in the locker club and
the home sideboard, with uninterrupt-
ed access to the brewery?

NORMAL CONDITIONS RETURNING

Practically normal conditions i'll
the New York money market have
returned. The bank statement pub
lished Saturday morning showed that
the deficit in the legal requirements
had been covered, with several mill
lions to spare. Money which had
been boarded during the panic was
reported to be coming into bank
vaults rapidly. The retirement of
the clearing house certificates is now
matter of only a short time.
In the South, Savannah banks
yesterday destroyed the clearing
house certificates and returned fully
to a cash basis. Montgomery banks
are redeeming the certificates in cash
as fast as presented. Atlanta banks
have been notified that New York
banks are ready to ship currency
again and the situation in the Geor-
gia capital will speedily improve In

w III IIIC Gnu VI tic 1lOdI QlIS DIO-
cess, the banks will have money to
lend for legitimate enterprises and
many projects which have been held
up or postponed indefinitely will no
doubt spring into renewed activity
The lessons of the recent disturbance
will bear fruit in the safeguarding of
banks and trust companies to such
an extent that a recurrence of a
furry in times of prosperity will be
largely done away.
Trust companies and insurance COM
anpies have had their day of refor-
nation, and though the effects were
widely felt by the innocent the
curing of the diseases from which
these institutions suffered will be
of lasting good, far more than balan-
cling the temporary losses. Hence,
the present return of confidence
means much more than arecovery
which did not also purify the sources
of the trouble.

For the Woman That's Fat

A Detroit physician says that the
cheapest and safest mixture a fat
woman who wants to get thin is
one-half ounce Marmola (get it in
the original half-ounce PACKAGE, one
half ounce Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic and three and one-half
ounces Syrup Simplex The proper
amount to take is teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime
These ingredients may be obtained
from any druggist at small cost and
make combination that is not only
excellent as a fat reducer, being able,
it is claimed, to take off a pound a
day without causing wrinkles, but
is also a splendid help to the sys-
tenn as whole, regulating the stom~
ach and bowels (where the fat per-
sons troubles Begin, and clearing
the skin of pimples and blotches. No
exercise is required to help the
remedy in its work, and best of all,
no dieting is necessary while taking
it-you can eat what you like.
