showing that Gov. George K. Nash,

governor said his representative

A legislative investigation of the

RESOLVE TO CAST OUT FEAR
In Reality II Is Easily Eradicsted, az
Courage Is Within the Reach
of ALL

More men have suffered through ig-
noble fear than through all the mala.
dies of earth; more have sinned
through fear than through temptation;
more have fallen into treachery and
shame through fear than through all
the desires and passions of the heart.
And yet one may be rid of fear with.
out sl.ecial cleverness or skill or saint
Illness only by applying will. man
cannot will not to suffer, or want, or
die, but he can will not to be afraid
Belief, submission and love-these
may not be in each mans reach, but
courage is. None so ailing, SO anx.
ious, so desperate, but he can repudi-
ate self-pity and shake off fear, bold
up his head and make strong his
heart. He may will million dollars
and go penniless, but when he wills
endurance, 10! 1t is there!
And once one has faced suffering
courageously, strength pours in on
every side. The ruddy sun that warns
man, the stars that watch his sleep,
encourage him. The triumphant
winds that sweep down from the sky,
the glad, bright sea that buffets him,
flashes salt and terrible laughter. All
the elemental powers, the forests and
the very stones of the mountains COM
municate patient endurance. Always
life itself can impart strength to en-
courage life. Who has not, in his
daily walk, been fortified by the pa
tient kindness of some shopwoman;
the delicate, hard-earned mirth of the
lonely widow; the warm, bright self
forgetfulness of the broken-hearted?
And of the rarer and diviner mani
festations, who shall speak? OF the
oyerworked and overburdened who
gayly pick up all their kindreds and
their neighbors burdens to add to
their own; of those under sentence of
death who smile along their uncom-
planning way; of the weary and the
needy who passionately give up their
lives to some ideal of liberty or devo-
tion. Unknowingly, such carry strength
In the very folds of their garments as
we brush them by in the street.

VIII Fiqht Utility sill.

Frightened public service corpora,
tions of Ohio are beating the tom
toms and sounding a wild alarm. The
public utilities commission bill in the
form in which it was introduced in
the house of representatives January
"a, has struck terror among the gas
and electric light, street railway, tele-
phone and similar monopoiies of the
state. The full text of the bill has
just been made public. Within two
hours after it was made known an
organized fight against the bill in gen.
eral and important provisions in par
ticular was well under way.
The bill as it stands, legislators
agree, is the strongest measure for the
regulation of corporations ever sug-
gested in Ohio. What the bill will con.
tain when it gets through the assem-
bly,, If it passes in any form, is a mat
ter of pure speculation. The passage
of the bill in anything like its present
form will be fought every inch of the
way. AS drawn and approved the
bill distinctly provides that all the con-
troll over public service franchises and
franchise rights now exercised by Ohio
municipalities is to remain undis-
turbed In addition the referendum is
preserved so that the voters in every
municipality retain the right to a final
vote in all franchise matters.
In brief the bill provides for pub.
lie service commission of three mem
bers to be named by the governor.
Control all express, telegraph, tele-
phone, sleeping car, freight line,
equipment, electric light, gas, natural
gas, pipe line, waterworks, messen-
ger, signal, union depot, water trans.
portation, heating, cooling, street
railroad and railroad companies.
Full power given commission to
regulate rate and service to be rem
dered by public utilities.
Valuation of utilities to be made
and published.
Uniform system of accounting to be
prescribed and reports under it made
public.
Rebates and discriminating rates
forbidden, also granting of passes
or free service of any kind
Stock to be issued only at par and
bonds at not less than 75, and only
on approval of the commission.
No corporation to hold more than
10 per cent of the stock of any pub
lie utility.
No watered stock or bonds to be
issued in mergers or reorganizations
Equipment and apparatus of every
public utility may be used by any
other utility on order of commission
No franchise-granting power giver
to commission, but municipalities re
tain all powers they now exercise.

Fine Country for Apples.

A. G. Seyfert, the American consul
at Owen Sound, reports to the depart
ment that the rocky ridges on the
south and east coasts of Georgian bay
are well adapted for fruit, especially
apples. The locality is about the
northern limit for successful fruit
growing in the province Of Ontario.
but the apples grown there are free
from insects and have a superior fla
vor. Spraying to destroy the scale
and other insects is not necessary, as
the cold winter is death to insects,
nevertheless there are some farmers
using the sprayer with good results.
The crop during 1909 was one of the
best and largest for many years, par
ticularly with the winter varieties.

The manual training and the domestic
science and sewing departments have
been made a special feature Of our
school work this year and the results
have demonstrated the value Of this kind
Of instruction.
Miss Sibley has had charge Of the do
mestic science and sewing departments,
and Mr.. Weatherby Of the manual train
ing. In both departments the work has
been practical. an effort being made to
teach the things that would be used in
every day life. while the cooperation OF
students and instructors has been some-
thing unusual and has tended towards
the best results.
Though the manual training depart
ment is not yet fully equipped in all the
different lines for work. the boys have
done some work in furniture making that
might be a credit to a muen larger school
and that the individual and the school as
a whole may well be proud Of. A number
Of large pieces have been finished.

was not organized until after the holi-
days, and while most OF US in seeing the
exhibit might not appreciate the fact. it
really represents more time ard labor
spent than the furniture shows. and
would probably represen. full years
work as it would be given in technical
high school. This work is Of special
benefit to those intending to take up any
technical work or engineering.
Mr.. Weatherby has had special train

to be found anywhere; taking his first
years work at Stout institute, Menom-

chosen.

HEAVY GALE
Followed by Frost, Does Some
Damage to Crops.

A 5O-mile -an-hour wind, accompanied
by a rapid fall in temperature. visited
Rocky Ford on Sunday evening. The
wind storm came up very suddenly
shortly after 6 o'clock. at the close OF
warm and pleasant day, and for some
hours played havoc amongst the orchards
OF this vicinity, but as all sorts OF fruit
trees were rather heavily laden. the re-
sultant damage by the fall Of immature
fruit has left the trees in better she pc to
sustain their load and a splendid crop is
still assured.
The low temperature continued until
Tuesday. this section being visited by
frost on Monday night that worked some
damage to the tender eantaloupe plants.
and the farmers have since been busily
engaged in replanting. As the season is
still early the growers are confident that
bu. little delay has been oeeasioned and
the eants will show up in good shape if
there is no further back set.
The agriculturists OF the American
Beet Sugar company report no damage
from the frosts OF Monday night to the
Young beets. news that will doubtless be
gladly received following the reports OF
damage to the young eantaloupe plants

speaks louder t.an words as to what she
