We had quite a rain here Sat.
urday and Sunday evening, max

with the binder.
Considerable wheat has al.
ready been cut and it promises
to be a pretty good crop.
Every tobacco grower is out
today replanting. Tobacco is
just about all set in this vicinity.
Hay making has begun.
A week of fair weather now
would favor the farmer much
with the work Of harvesting the
wheat and hay.

Levi Fourman, while assisting

day, fell off a load in the barn.
He was pulling on the trip rope
when it tore in two. He was
unconscious for quite a while
and they thought he would die,
but medical aid was secured and
he was revived. 1t seems that
he fell on the back of his head
and neck and he complains of
internal pains. At this writing
it is hard to tell the outcome.
Clarence Unger was engaged
in hauling a candy salesman one
day and a cracker salesman an

How to Clean Vanished WaII Paper.

Vanished wall paper should never
be cleaned by rubbing with flannel
or cloth. Procure a good soft white
wash brush, which can be bought at
any oil store; then have bucket of
clean soft warm water in which yell
low soap has been lathered. Dip your
brush into the water, slightly squeeze
1t and commence rubbing gently from
the bottom of the paper, working up
ward. You will thus have your paper
free from smears and the varnish un-
injured.

cal parties in Ohio there are
plenty of honest, upright, true
men to man the legislature. AL
we need is to put such men in
nomination.
1t is a poor policy to put in
nomination worthless men be-
cause of a slim chance for win
ming. You can't tell what may
turn up. An honorable and hon.
est Democrat told us that at the
last state election men were put
in nomination for representa-
tives without any hope of elect
ing them. And hence due care
in the nomination was not exer-
cised. This may have been the
case. At all events, the state
has been badly fooled.
We see no way of improving
the legislature other than to ell
ect better men. And this can be
done by paying better attention
to the primary elections. If bu-
siness men and professionals
deem it beneath their dignity to
attend the primaries let them
take the consequences without
grumbling.
At the trial now going on at
Columbus the evidence against
the bribe-takers is quite straight
and strong. The sergeant-at-
arms of the Senate, as it ap-
pears, sold himself and five SEN
ators for $1O0O-two hundred
dollars a piece. Cheap! 1t will
never pay them on the invest
ment. The court may not con-
vict, but public opinion is already
convinced of wrong committed.
There is no appeal from the
court of public opinion. Herein
Nemesis puts in her fine work.
She lets no guilty man escape.
1t does not pay to be crooked,
not even in politics. Honesty
is the best policy"

.OIlC way VI 10
General Assembly is punishment
of offenders, and that is now 60
ing on at Columbus. Several
members are being tried before
the Common Pleas court OF
Franklin county, and it seems
the evidence is sufficient to Sc
cure conviction. At all events,
in ordinary cases the evidence
would suffice; but senators of
Ohio are so exalted in character
that the evidence to convict one
of them must be overwhelming.
The Governor of the state is
beginning to apologize for the
offenses committed, saying that
the legislature as whole is all
wright only a few offenders. How
is that, Governor, when the
House almost unanimously, and
over your veto, passed the salary
grab bill? And how about the
twelve cent mileage grab? Are
these mere Incidents?
It begins to dawn upon us that
Harmon is a good deal of a trim
mer. Is he not trying to catch
votes?
Furnishing the offending men,
bers after conviction may i'm
prove the coming legislatures by
reminding the members that
wrong doing in the legislature
does not always go unpunished.
/ There is a limit to public pa
tience. But as long as things
are allowed to continue as now
we shall have an occasional ex-
posure-a housekeeping every
once in a while. Water rises to
the level of it's source. The Gen.
eral Assembly of Ohio will be
representative of the working
politicians in the state.
There is the sore spot. The
people who really choose men,
bers for the General Assembly
are the professional politicians.
The great majority of honest cit-
liens take little interest in the
primaries. And yet there is
where the mischief is done. Let
the primaries be run by the pro-
fessionals of both parties and
they will nominate such as they
5lease. And what choice is left
the honest voter? None, save
3oting for one of the nominees
OR stay at home. And hence it
happens occasionally that an in
telligent, honest constituency is
represented by an utterly un-
worthy man.,
Take, for instance, the college
town of Oxford in Butler county.
Would we not naturally look for
an intelligent, honest man to
come from there? And what
have we therefrom? Huffman,
the alleged bribe-taker, who, it
is claimed, sold his influence and
his vote for two hundred dollars!
What shame to the classic town
of Oxford!
How did this happen? Proba-
bly, the boys, not the substan-
tial citizens of Oxford, did the
nominating. It is just what hap
pens all over the state at times.

SOCIALIST BALL
ST|RS THOUSANDS
Municipal Affair, Proceeds
for City Employment of
the Unemployed.

Milwaukee. Wis. April S.-The So
cialist ball. given by the city council
for the benefit of the unemployed
was even a bigger success than the
municipal balls given earlier in the
history of the administration. The
crowd was so great that the auditori-
UNI floor was packed with dancers.
1t is cstauated today that $4,000
tickets were sold, but returns have
not been received from the many al
dermen who were in charge OF the
distribution.
Tickets were sent i'll blocks to ev-
cry business firm in the city. with a
circular in which the Socialist com
mittee in charge declared there We're.
according to best reports, 10000 idle
persons in the city, representing great
suffering among the poorer classes.
The city, it was stated. wished to
provide work for these men at once,
without the delay incident TO the lett
ing OF formal contracts for city work,
SO the administration through the
council made the bail an official func-
ton The funds are being cared for
by the city treasurer, in order that the
council can order municipal work done
and employment provision will be paid
from the proceeds of the dance fund
which will be about $4,000.
In addition to the dance tickets
which sold for - cents, a considerable
sum was realized from the sale OF
tickets to vaudeville program at
10 cents admission. The entertain
ment was provided by actors from all
the vaudeville theatcrs in the city
The checkroom cash went to the fund
also, for there was not expense incur
red in giving the ball
Aid. Koch led the orchestra, made
NIP of idle musicians paid by the mu
sicians' union. The same rule was
followed in all the preparations for
the ball.
The grand march started at
O'Clock and was led by the mayor and
Mrs. Seidel and other members of the
administration, with a special commit
tee of about 200 persons.

Not long ago it was stated that the

these eggs are received by the buyer,
he is compelled to go over them and
select the best eggs for his best trade.
The method used for this selection
Of eggs is called Gambling or testing.
The egg candle or tester is made of
wood or metal and. as a rule. is kept

tester shines through an opening, in
! front of which an egg is held by the
GAMBLER. BY a quick movement of the
hand, the condition of the contents
of the egg is quickly noted and the
egg is placed in its proper class. A
good Gambler works rapidly and will
! test a large number of eggs in a day.
Eggs are sometimes graded as fol
lows: Extras weight, rs to 26 ounc-
es; naturally and absolutely clean,
fresh and sound; same color Ca grade
! seldom used. Firsts: weight. 26 to "a
ounces sound, fresh and reasonably
clean. Seconds: shrunken, stale,
washed, stained and dirty. Checks
cracked, not leaking. RIOTS: incubat-
or blood rings, dead germs and de-
composed eggs.
"All eggs should be bought and sold
on this grading system, so that an egg
will bring what it is worth.
EGG Contents Described.
when the Gambler tests the eggs he
bases his judgment on the following
indications:
