$4,000
Raised For The Y. N. c. A
Campaign Fund
In An Effort To Secure Sum
Of $4,000
(ey The Secretary

AT ten O'Clock last evening the
So 900 mark was reached on the Main
tenance Fund campaign of the Young
Mems Christian Association. There
was good big hustle put on by many
of the canvassers and they extended
their work to the borders of the coun-
ty.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the canvass up to date is the
contribution from a number of shop
men. These men have arranged,
themselves, to give one hundred and
fifteen dollars worth of time to the
fund, the same to be deducted from
their envelopes on pay day and hand.
ed to the association treasurer. An
other feature was the enthusiastic in
terest of newsboy. He approached
one of the campaigners at the very
outset and stated that he would con-
tribute $500. He was told by the So
licitor, that he could not do SO much
but the lad insisted that he could,
and that he would earn 1t by selling
papers. He further coDtended that
he was not lager and that he want
ed to help the cause along.
Those who have been close to the
associations efforts upon previous oc-
casions are again seeing the communi-
ty respond In a time of crisis. There
Is faith abundant in this community
and In addition there is that other
very splendid quality works" and the
people do not fail to respond with
both at the proper time.
Attention is called to the fact that
1t is "all or none" in this campaign.
This is provided for the protection Of
those who subscribe. There will be
no paying twice on this proposition,
when once provided for means in this
case, fully provided for. This fact is
inspiring many splendid contributions,
but there will have to be much better
work for the next 80 hours to assure
success.
The association has many times
reached crises and here the workers
are face to face with the hardest prop
ositicn that they have ever been
| against and it is taking all the ability
and faith of the committeeman to
work out the problem. They cannot do
it alone, there must be hearty and
generous response, and that at once
or failure will mark the end of the
campaign.
This is a quality, however, that Mt
Vernon and Knox county have many
times demonstrated, did not exist In
this section of the state and the asso
citation men feel confident does not al
the present time. $4,000 is the com
munity's share of over three years OF
fruitful work, $4,000 of which is al
ready pledged on condition that the
full amount be subscribed. Does il
not seem reasonable that the entire
| city and county should make good the
$4,000 to bind this $4,000. from few
men? Faith backed up by good hard
work will do it by ten o'clock Friday
night

The senate now has the / per cent
tax rate bill before II, and II the mem
bers strike out the maximum 1 per
cent rate they will merely be digging
their own political graves. The coun-
try taxpayer will stand for an amend
ment excluding the levy for sinking
fund from the 1 per cent rate, because
they, having no public debt in most
instances, are not interested. That Is
largely for the benefit of the cities.
But the per cent maximum must not
be obiiterated from the bill

Out of every dollar which the
American consumer pays for farm
products, the farmer only gets thirty
five cents. The same crowd which
gets this 65 per cent rake off is behind
the American Protective League,
which is attempting to line up Ohio
farmers to fight the Canadian Recip-
rocity act.
During the five years ending June
30th, 1910, of the products which are
extensively produced in Ohio, we sold
to Canada $53 1000, ,O55 more than Cana
da sold to us; but upon these items
we had to, pay the Canadian tariff;
had there been no tariff, our balance
would have been much larger and our
profits considerably greater. Recip-
rocity would remove a restriction up
ON our trade. Would not the Ohio
farmer be benefited rather than in
jured through the extension Of the de-
mand for his products? Canada buys
much more farm products from us
than 1t sells to us as the following
figures, for the past 6 years show:
Horses, our sales to Canada, $14,172,-
075, our purchases from Canada 49,.
$780, POI, balance in our favor $11, ,622,'

NAL Is able to turn almost around In
Its hide.
Should dog acquire hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back Of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger sc
cures a viselike grip upon some vui
nerable portion of his enemy, and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and deadly
as might be expected rom an anteater
Of the dark continent.
he who has removed the pelt Of q
badger and is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp Bit
ten and that he is able to hang With
bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment of its jaws are noted.
Neither is it so much of n mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil
SO rapidly that half dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him. for he is
mass OF cords and muscles, particu-
| larly In the neck, chest and shoulders,

| Old Time Smallpox Cure.
To cure smallpox was apparently a
very simple matter in the good old
times. John of Gaddesden. court doc
tor to Edward H.. has recorded that
he got rid of the disease by the simple
expedient of wrapping his patients in
red cloth.
LET scarlet red be TAKEN" he says,
"and let him who is suffering small.
pox be entirely wrapped in it or in
some other red cloth. ! did this when
the son of the illustrious king of Eng.
land suffered from smallpox. took
care that all about his bed should be
red. and that cure succeeded very
well."-London Chronicle.
