OFFICIAL PAPER FOR
STARK COUNTY.
BACKWARD SPRING

People woke Thursday morning to find
the ground covered with a white mantle.
The snow was soon tranformed into
water and quickly absorbed in the
ground, thereby becoming of great ben
eft to the recently sown grain. This
storm was but a REPETITION of the one
last Saturday when three to four inches
of snow fell. The storm this week was
general and extended over the Middle
West states and Canada. It reached the
eastern part of North Dakota and Min
nesota on Wednesday and was reported
as very severe in some parts of the
country.
Farming operations seem to be several
weeks behind the usual spring in this
part of the country, but it is not looked
upon as in any way detrimental and in
many ways it may be considered q real
advantage. A great many farmers have
sown much of their era in but it has not
taken any harm.
This year the streams have not been
up much and it is certain that the
melted snow has all been permitted to
soak into the ground. This of itself is
n of the greatest advantages for the
farmers. We can now look for settled
weather and crops will come forward in
splendid shape. z
Taken as a whole the spring has never
opened with more promise than this
year. 1t will be. recalled that the fall
of 1908 was unusually wet and now the
ground has been we'll soaked again and
May seem to be upon us with just those
conditions most favorable to the agri-
cultural interests.

The fact that a theatrical company pro-
posed to cancel it's date in Tampa because
of the ravages of the storm calls to mind
the ignorance that generally prevails as
10 distances in this state. 1t seems to be
generally supposed that Florida should
be measured by a Rhode Island yard
stick. 4 storm that would do great dam
age in Newport would probably be felt in
Providence; therefore a storm that would
do great damage in Key West would be
felt in Pensacola.
We often hear this in another form.
Some man has Travelled all day and all
night in going from Pensacola to knights
Key. He could have gone from New York
to Philadelphia in two or three hours.
Florida trains are slow. The ignCramus
doesn't know that from Pensacola to Key
West or knights Key is line times as Tar
as from New York to Philadelphia.
1t is about the same distance from
Tampa to Key West that it is from New
York to WaShinSton-about the same dlS-
lance from Tampa to Miami as from New
York to Baltimore. and yet no one would
think of New York being damaged by
storm at Baltimore or Washington From
Pensacola to Key West by rail, when the
road is finished. the distance VIII De Just
a shade shorter than from New York to
Chicago.
The map makers are at fault. Instead
of teaching children geography. the maps
teach them an ignorance of ge- graphy
OF course, on the general map the proper
scale is preserved, but when maps are
made of states or groups of states. the
North Atlantic states, with less than no.
600 square miles, are given more space
than the entire south, with $4,000 square
miles The only thing that all map MAX
ers agree about is that the south Is sec
ton not worth their space. AS result.
ignorance of distances in the south Is the
rule, and there are few exceptions.

has not been brought about to any great
extent by the purchases of Spectators.
Because of the general expectation that
the country is i'm for period of great
prosperity in which the profits of rail-
ways and of industrial corporations will
be very large and because of the wide
demand for stocks by real investors who
look forward to a period of good divi-
dends. ] expressed the opinion in my
cable dispatch OF Friday last. October $.
that after the existing pressure for
money is passed and there is no longer
need for bankers to curtail their loans.
another advance in prices Of stocks may
take place.
1t is true that the current prices OF GER
tain stocks are not warranted by the ex-
listing dividends, that they already dis
count the probable increase of dividends
for some time to come. and that discrim
ination is needed. Nevertheless. there are
still a number of securities upon which
the dividends are expected to increase
appreciably, and which, having regard to
the probable dividends. they are likely
to receive, are believed to be intrinsically
worth still higher prices.

PROSPERITY ON SOUND BASIS.
An English Editors View of the
American Situation.

From the London Statist.
Without going further into detail it
will be realized that the savings Of this
immense and rich country are enormous,
and that they are probably greater than
s1,OOO, 600, 100000 $4,000 600, OOO,OO0) a
year That is to say, the savings of the
American people are equal to an average
of at least G12 $500 head of popula-
ton. and, excluding children, to about
GOO head of population. With so great
a saving and with so vast sum avail
able for increasing the housing accom-
mediation, the transportation facilities
and the industries of the country, it is
evident that the prosperity of the United
States is built upon foundations of a very
firm and solid character. and that those
persons in Europe who regard the pros
perity as of the nature of a Soap-bubble
which may at any time disappear are not
likely to see their expectations realized.
An expansion in trade of nearly 100 per
cent in each decade is rate of growth
which could not possibly take place but
for the enormous supply Of capital which
the country enjoys in conjunction with
spirit of enterprise and a great desire for
efficiency.
In the present year the nation is en-
couraged to save by the tempting oppor-
tunities to invest it's new savings to ad-
vantage. Investors have sought espe-
cially to invest their new savings in the
common stocks of companies offering the
prospect of expansions in profits and in
dividends Naturally at such a time the
holders of those stocks were indisposed
to sell. and those who desired to pur-
chase them have been obliged to pay
steadily increasing prices in order to Sc
cure the stocks. 1t cannot be too clearly
understood that the great advance in the
prices of stocks has been brought about
by the effort of persons with savings to
invest to purchase securities which they

The Misuse of Words.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Those who find a never-ending pleasure
in reading the works of Colds NTH, Addi-
son. "Rollicking Dick" Steele and our
own genial Irving must suffer something
like literary nausea in turning over the
pages of some modern newspapers in
quest of news. Why should the society
editor insist that a wedding occurred"
instead of taking place? But this abuse
Of the word seems venial when we turn
to the sporting page and find that every
event recorded from a dog fight to a run
ming re- is classy" 1t may be assumed
by some critics that this word flashed
upon the sporting fraternity as a great
prize through the revival Of the Olympic
games. Greek authors wrote books now
known as classics. and by the same token
their athletic games obtained a like des-
ignation. But why should a prizefight
be called classy? Probably the word
is slangy equivalent of high class {"
At any rate. it Is as illegitimate and Of
fensive as "brainy.''
But the offending is not confined to the
editors of sporting pages. To go through
the catalogue of misused words would
far exceed the limits of any editorial arti-
Gle. Yet one can hardly leave the subject
without recording a solemn protest
against the phrase armed with war
rant. or the aeronaut who "negotiates a
trip" around the aerodrome And one
would like to add that 'inaugurate,' -
which means to induct in office does NOT
happily characterize the running of a new
railroad train or the opening sale of au-
tumn millinery.
The colleges Of America are doing good
work In their departments of English lit
erature to prevent the wanton misuse and
abuse Of our magnificent language. but
the education should begin in our gram
mar schools. where the great majority of
our children receive their only education.
