STANDARD
System Adopted fOr. Making
CfOplReportS

With the June crop report an en-
the state board of agriculture in the
collection and figuring of crop esti-
mates Heretofore there has been no
fixed standard of comparison Each
correspondent has his own idea of
what full average crop" as the
term used ran, meant. Instructions
have now been sent to the correspon-
dents in all parts of the state that
when a crop of 10 bushels of wheat
per acre is indicated by the conditions
they must report that as one hundred
per cent. They are instructed that
when the oats conditions warrant the
prediction of 81 eld Of so bushels per
acre they must report that rs one
hundred per cent. From this basis as
a standard the crops will be graded
In this way the department will
have something definite to work on
and when the acreage is known, as it
always will be when the crop bulletin
| is received, anyone can figure out the
| actual yield of wheat and oats that
is promised in the state at the time.
For the present the department will
not attempt to figure out the standard
| for barley and rye, but wait until they
see how the new standards come out
as to wheat and oats.
The circulars to correspondents will
go out by mail tomorrow for the June
report information.

SUSPENDS GOLDEN RULE
Chief kohIer Of Cleveland Piqued by
Newspaper Criticism.

Cleveland. o.. May, 23.-Piqued by
the newspapers criticisms of his
golden rule policy. which it is assert
ed has proven pretty much of a fail
ure in this city during the past few
months, Chief of Police Kohler has
temporarily, at least, suspended the
working of his idea.
The chief had his revenge by sud
denly arresting scores of newsboys
as they were selling their morning
papers. He wouldn't let them have
bail, though it is said they had done
nothing but ply their trade. The chief
claims they were lettering. He says
hereafter the newsboys won't be al
lowed on the streets late at night.
Crowds of men who were standing
on street corners also were arrested
and taken to the station in patrol
wagons on the same charge.

Program For The Hiawatha
Lake Assembly
To Open At Lake HiaWatha
Park On July Is
zieglGf.HoWG Orchestra To
Appear On Program
Or. Lincoln HulIey To Be
Present This Year
The Park To Be Greatly
Beautified This Season

For many weeks the people of Mt.
Vernon were on the anxious seat and
all feared that the Hiawatha Lake as
sembly had gone by the boards, and
they had plenty of reason for believ-
ing that the great meetings had been
lost to Mt Vernon and Knox county.
However, through the enterprise Of
Mr.. l.. G. Penn and a number of other
Mt. Vernon men who shouldered a
lease on the park, the assembly was
secured, and it IS now up to the peo-
pie of Mt. Vernon and the surrounding
community to do their part in Keep-
ing this institution here, not only this
year, but for years to come, as the
present park management has an op-
ton whereby the lease may be extend
ed if matters go right.
However, none should feel that to
support the assembly means the sim
pie giving away of money without any
return. The assembly management,
the moment the use of the park was
assured, started to work and has well
under way one of the very best pro-
grams in it's history-and that means
whole lot, as none has ever been
disappointing. Supt. Rose is conf
dent that the program for 1910 will be
better than any heretofore arranged.
DR.. Lincoln Hulley, president of
John Stetson university DeLand, Fla,
and Prof. e. l. Bosworth, d. D., of the
Oberlin Theological seminary, will be
the bible instructors this year, The
very mention of DR.. Hulley's name
will be greeted with enthusiasm. He
is one man who does not grow old,
and one who keeps abreast of the
times in every particular Prof Bos-
worth will be new man at Hiawatha,
but he is not unknown to Mt. Yer
non people. DR.. Bosworth is one of
the most popular speakers in Oberlin
and is sought after by chautauquas
and for Y. M. G. A. conventions every
where. The assembly will have a
great team with these two men on
the Bible faculty.
For Sunday school work the superin-
tendent is not quite ready to announce
the faculty in full. The Rev. H. T.
Musselman of Philadelphia and the
Rev. A. B. Withers of West Virginia
have been engaged. DR.. Hulley will
take one of the Bible-school hours and
DR.. Bosworth may also do this. Others
will be announced later. 1t is safe to
say that no Bible-school worker
whether teacher or pupil, can af-
ford to miss these sessions.
The assembly will open Monday
evening, July 25, with a most charm
ing and unique stationary and moving
picture entertainment by Sumner Vim
ton. Nothing like or approaching this
has ever been seen here.
On Tuesday afternoon and evening
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-05-24

the Ziegler-Howe Star Orchestra Sym
phony club will appear. This is Co.
lumbus's great musical organization.
For Friday evening, July 29, the as.
sembly management has booked real
ly the greatest magician ever seen at
Hiawatha. The one that appeared
last year was a great success, but he
carried with his equipment that could
be packed in two trunks. Nicola car
ries over ton of equipment and two
assistants. This entertainment costs
more than any similar feature ever
booked for the assembly.
On Saturday evening Mr.. John Dux-
bury will give a reading entertainment
that is said to equal Leland Powers.
On the following Sunday evening he
will give reading on the book of Job
that will be unique, instructive and
greatly entertaining.
On Monday evening, August /, Mr.
A. E. Wiggam will deliver lecture on
Dollars and Sense" an effort based
on big truths and told in a bright and
entertaining way. This lecture has
been pronounced by high literary au.
thority as one OF the most chaste and
beautiful pieces of eloquence in the
English tongue. Thousands of young
men and women have received from ii
a new inspiration. The entire lecture
is a running fire of wit, anecdote and
eloquence.
Edward Amherst OFT will appear
Tuesday evening, August 2, and Dr.
A. w. Lamar will lecture on the fol
lowing evening.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa will lee.
ture on the afternoon of August 4th
and Mr.. John Long of the Merchant
Marine association of New York city
will give an address on the ship sub
sidy question on the afternoon of Au.
gust 3.
Within a few days the management
will be ready make further announce.
ments as to talent and program. In
the talent mentioned it may be seen
that the assembly will amount to
something, that it will be instructive
entertaining and pleasant. Judging
from the success that Supt. Rose is
meeting in getting bookings, it seems
that it may have been good thing
for all that the start was delayed.
The new management of the park
will leave nothing undone that will
accrue to the comfort and pleasure OF
the patrons, whether they are there as
campers for the whole season or just
for one entertainment. The park is
going to be more beautiful than for
years.
EIiawatha will be a great place this
season.
