SECRETS OF FARM
Barred TO SANDLES
Agriculture Board Secretary is
Fiend for Statistics.

Columbus, O., Dec. 23.-According
to statistics gathered by A. P. San
dies, secretary Of the state board of
agriculture, 80 per cent of the farm
ers of Ohio provide themselves with
better agricultural implements than
they do household conveniences for
their wives.
The canvass shows that when
farm boys reach the age of Is or is
they begin to grow uneasy and think
that it is up to their fathers either
to take them into partnership is run
ming the farm or pay them salary
for their labor.
Sandles has found that four-ffths
of the farmers take a daily paper
and that fully 40 per cent have tele-
phones in their homes. 1t appears
from the answers that there is not
as much visiting done among the
farm residents as there was 20 years
ago.
Sandles' last question was, rs a
bingham shirt and overalls as re-
spectacle in the country as billed
shirt and broadcloth?" The almost
unanimous answer was "Yes-it's not
the clothes, but the wearor, that
counts"

SHARE
OF Ohio Seems To Be A Live
Wire
On The Floor Of The House
Of Representatives

Although not heralded in heavy
faced headlines in the daily papers
partly due to the fact that he has no
paid press bureau, and partly because
he does not believe I'm spread-eagle ad-
vertising, our congressman, Hon. Wm.
G. Sharp, is nevertheless on the job, in
the house Of representatives. While
the house, which began its sessions
on December 4, has hardly squared
away for business, yet Mr.. Sharp has
made a speech that brought forth
rounds of applause on each of the two
interesting questions on which the
house has acted-the Sherwood pen.
sion bill and the Russian treaty.
On December II, when the pension
bill which later passed by a vote of
229 yeas to so nays, was under con-
sideration, after answering several OBJ
jectiors raised to the bill, Mr.. Sharp
said
Fully subscribing to what has been
said by other speakers, that our gov
eminent in the matter of pension legis-
lation has been more liberal than any
other government known to history.
yet it is equally true that the soldiery
OF this country, especially in that Ii
tanic struggle for the perpetuation of
the Union, performed a service which,
in heroic sacrifice and achievement,
has no parallel Mr.. Chairman, it
seems to me that before these brave
old soldiers have all passed away, we
ought to pass this bill which has for
its object the comfort of their declin-
ing days; and it is because such legis-
lation has already been delayed too
long that am going to cast my vote
in its favor. (Applause.) How many
of you have been successful in secur-
ing special bill for your claimant.
and then forwarding the cheering news
back to the soldiers home, receive on
ly pathetic letter within short
time after from the mans daughter
or wife, saying that they are very
sorry to announce that the beneficiary
has passed to his final reward?''
In speaking in favor of abrogating
the treaty of 1882 with Russia, which
passed by the overwhelming vote of
321 yeas to l nay, Congressman Sharp
related very interesting incident of
party of American teachers travelling
through Turkey, being denied pass
ports for safe travel, appealed to our
ambassador at Constantinople, Mr..
Strouss, who said to the Turkish Sui
tan, IF the Turkish government will
not consent to theri safety, will, and
if any harm comes to them, you will
have to answer to my government for
the consequences" At 1 o'clock the
following morning, Mr.. Strouss was
notified that a council of the Turkish
ministers had unanimously agreed to
what he had ordered and that every
possible protection would be given
the Americans" (Applause.)
81 believe thoroughly that if we are
to secure the rights, not only of Jew
ish, but of every other American citi-
zen, nothing will be half so potent as
to pass this resolution today by such
an overwhelming vote that it will be
notice to the world that the rights
of an American citizen must be re-
spected no matter on what part of the
earth he may dwell" (Applause)

Harry S. Wolverton, born and raised
in Mt. Vernon, is to manage the New
York American league baseball team.
The above cut is, from Wolverton's
latest photograph.
Where is the grown-up baseball fan
of today who does not remember VOL
verton's baseball career in Mt. Yer
non? His fame was established on ev-
cry vacant lot in town and the nine
in whose batting order the name of
''Sterl" Wolverton-for so ne was
known among his companions-apt
peared, was sure to win.
First base was his position then, and
captain always. When he left school
and went to work in his fathers dye
house, he continued to devote Satur-
days and holidays to the national
sport, and as long as he was there the
mount Vernons" carried off all the
double-eagles offered as trophies in
Fourth of July tournaments for fifty
miles around.
Then Wolverton entered Kenyon
College at Gambler, Ohio, five miles
from home and his career may be
said to have fairly commenced. Hav-
ing in turn filled all the infield bases,
in college he developed into a pitcher.
Kenyon is small school numerically
and pitching timber was scarce. VOL
verton filed the breach and during his
college days Kenyon defeated her old
rival Ohio State shut out Dennison,
Ohio, Wesleyan and all other big col
lege teams in Central Ohio.
Columbus amateurs had by that time
learned to respect Wolverton's Prov
ess, and scouts from the Columbus
Western League team, ever on the
watch for likely college players, signed
him up. While sure fielder, beau
tiful thrower, and player with a
head on his shoulders as well as a
good eye. Wolverton never reached
the phenomenal class as a pitcher in
fast company; but he soon found a
congenial occupation on the third cor
ner of the diamond and within three
years he was snapped up by major
league He played with Washington
and Philadelphia and was regarded as
peerless third baseman and steady
batter.
The Highlanders' new manager is
high,spirited and independent, and
when an attractive offer came to him
from the outlaw Pennsylvania League,
the blacklist had no terror for him.
He accepted the management of a
team and made winner of 1t. He was
blacklisted with host of others, but
he was too good a player and field
general for the baseball world to lose,
and after two years he was reinstated,
it is said, through the influence OF a
magnate, who wished him to take
charge of New Jersey team How
ever, they did not come TO terms, and
he took command of the Oakland, Cali
fornia, team in the Coast League. The
team was in a deplorable shape, but
Wolverton brought it up in one sea
son from last place to the first divi-
sion and made a pennant winner of it.
Wolverton was under contract with
the Oakland team for next season, but
the Highlanders bought him off. He
is a master of strategy, cool and ready
to fight for his rights at any time or
place. Since getting into the manag-
erial class he is said to be strict dis
ciplinarian, while holding the affec-
tions of the players and inspiring them

the opposition of Republicans did
not cease. Onlcerholders of that par
ty did everything in their power to
cripple the law. Budgets were in
creased and salaries were raised in
the hope that the rigid maximum tax
would not provide sufficient funds.
Republicans opposed the law. be-
cause it would not provide funds for
extravaganza and machine building

Democrats everywhere are agreed
that should the party's candidate for
president in 1912 lose the electoral
vote of New York, it would probably
mean another defeat for the party. In
view of this, attention is called to the
following special from Washington to
The Ohio State Journal: Former Rep
resentative Jno. A. T. Hull of Iowa,
for many years Republican leader in
the house, believes that it is by no
means certain that Pres. Taft will be
reelected if he is renominated al
though Mr.. Hull is friendly to the
president. Mr.. Hull recently visited
New York. The impression prevails
in New York that Gov. Harmon, il
nominated, will carry that state, who
ever may be named by the Republic
ans, said Mr.. Hull. "In fact New York
men with whom l conversed seemed
to take it for granted, that Harmon
could win in New York against any
one who might be named. Mr.. Hull
would not commit himself to the pro-
position that the president was GER
tain to be defeated in the event of
his denomination. However, he add
ed to his statement that Harmon would
carry New York. Il regard New York
as the pivotal state"

called by Republicans) Smith one per
cent tax limit bill.
This very vicious law, which Gov
ernor Harmon forced through the leg
islature despite the opposition of Re-
publicans, has in 1911 saved the tax
payers of Xenia the tidy sum of S49,-
1888.
The per capita tax in 1910 in Xenia
was $19.35. In 1911 the per capita
tax is $13.50-a saving of $3.50 per
capita, and the tax payers are clamor-
ing for few more of the laws which
Republicans denounce as being des-
tructive, ruinous, etc.
True, in some districts public offic-
ers find themselves cramped for funds,
but if they will get out a tracer they
can place the responsibility to either
one of two past policies. They have
either been too extravagant in the
past, or have this year endeavored to
cripple the low rate law.
1t is significant that, in every mum

pathy with the efforts of the Demo
cratic state administration to lower
taxes, there is plenty of money for all
legitimate expenses.

from lack of funds if public officers do
their best to make ends meet. The

of Canon Tristram of Trinity church,
Dublin, in the opinion of Coroner
Schongut, who announced today that
several men who were with her when
she took poison would be summoned

The woman died Saturday night in

of carbolic acid which she drank in
the restaurant of the golf clubhouse in

then she had deliberately taken her
own life.
The bottle contained this acid, the
