In Ohio a new fungus parasite
has been discovered during the
season of 1911, which is referred
to the genus Coniosporium. At
Wooster and in Paulding county,
from which it was first obtained
last spring, the Coniosporium ap-
pears to be responsible for a
larger amount of injury in 1911
than all the others combined.
The most conspicuous symptom
of this carrot or cob-rot is pos
sibly the collapse of a large num-
ber of diseased cobs. The in
fection may occur either at the
base or at the tip of the ear; at
the base the whole ear is involv-
ed, in the tip infection it may in
volve only the tip portion, caus-
ing dwarfng and collapse. The
fungus shows as an obscure,
dark covering on that part of the
outside of the cob which embra-
ces the points of the kernels and
the adjacent portion of the ker-
nels. This disease, together with
other ear rots of corn, is being
investigated by E. G. Arzber-
ger, Assistant Botanist, who will
expect to publish his results as
soon as sufficiently advanced.
Meanwhile, corn growers will as

great company formed, but each
shop conducted it's business ac-
cording to the agreement. The
doctors of Greenville have agreed
on charges made for every kind
of service they may be called up
on to render. 1t is a combina-
ton. What can the government
do in such cases? Nothing. And
it can do nothing to prevent the
component parts of the once gi-
gantic Tobacco Trust from hav-
ing a mutual understanding.
The government broke up the
big concern because it was doing
business in violation of the Sher-
man law. That is as far as it |
could go. It has no power to
prevent the separate parts from |
having an understanding about |
things. So Col. Roosevelt is find
ing fault where there is none.
Is Col. Roosevelt trimming his
sails for the Republican nomina-
tion in the spring? 1t looks that
way, and if that be the aim of
his fault finding, it is not giving
his former bosom friend, Presi-
dent Taft, a square deal.
The Ohio State Journal for
Monday of this week has a pic
ture of Roosevelt and Bryan on
the same ticket, the ex-President
for the first place and Bryan for
the second. That would please
Roosevelt, perhaps. But Bryan
wants the first place himself.
John Jacob Lentz of Columbus
has come out in favor of giving
W. j. Bryan the Democratic NOM
nation next year. Thousands
upon thousands of Democrats
would rejoice to see it done.
If the next administration be
Democratic, W. J. Bryan is bound
to be the master spirit of it, and
why not make him the head of
It? Be not surprised if next year
Roosevelt and Bryan will be the
of their respective par
ties. How the old champions
will fight. Can they "come
back''?

the liquor manufacturers an

else. Will the person who vote
\ wet expect to bring about a con
dition whereby they may be abl,
to drink more than has been hi
lot under the dry regime? Is i
not a fact that that class of per
sons are drinking more under
prohibitory laws than is for theil
good, the good of their families
and for the welfare of the coun,
try? Let those persons who es-
pouse the wet cause tell the coun-
try that drinking makes better
citizens, better husbands, kinder
fathers; makes better provisions
for the keeping of their families,
furnishes them better living, bet-
ter clothes and more comfort and
plenty in every way, and above
all let them show that people Will
be more peaceful and law-abid-
ing under wet conditions than
under dry. Until this is clearly
demonstrated | want to know by
what right or benefit they claim
a reversal of the dry option?
There ought to be principle in
volved in this attempt, and sup
pose as the campaign opens the
wet boys will tell US a good ma
ny things why a reversal should
be had, but in so doing l suppose
they will studiously avoid telling
that every drinking man will
have larger bank accounts and
have more of the comforts of life
and a very much larger respect
ability if he is saved from the
drink habit. If they do not tell
us this what will they as an ar
gument for reversal? Unless it
is shown that a better condition
is brought about by a reversal,
then I ask what can be said to
justify a change? Unless it can
be shown that the wet is better
than the dry condition the ven-
ture should not have been launch
ed. Anything more to be said
will be reserved for another time.

Gettysburg.

luS ISNlNdl dG OuI phs II. CIluIC
has been held nightly since las
Tuesday evening. A good inter
est is apparent, but the weathe,
has been somewhat unpropitiou'
for part IF the time, so that the
attendance was hindered, but
these weather conditions will not
it is believed, continue for time
indefinitely Meetings are ar
ranged for every night this week,
and for next Sunday morning
and evening It is confidently
believed that a large success will
attend the meeting.
II has become our painful duty
to record the happening of a very
sad occurrence on last Thursday
evening just outside the limits of
our village. Charles E. Stoltz
was driving into our village with
horse and buggy, accompanied
by one of his boys. AS he was
going up the hill between the
bridge and the first buildings of
the town another horse and bug
gy driven by Cal Marker came
toward him and by some mishap
or other the buggies collided, re-
sulting in breaking both buggies
and dumping the occupants out,
and Stoltz's horse freeing him
self from the buggy in a frenzy,
went on a wild rampage over
town and returning to the main
street started westward and at a
curve in the pike west of R. C.
Horner's farm buildings, cane
upon an auto in which were seat
ed Cyrus Minnich, his wife, and
Webb Pearce, and plunging bod
lily into it killed Mrs. Minnich
outright and so injured Mr.. Min
Mich that he may die from the
effects of the inj.,ries. Mr.. Pearce
escaped with slight injuries; the
auto was broken to pieces and is
only fit, so said, for the scrap
pile. The horse was so badly in
jured that killing was made nec-
essary and was done at once.
This seems to be one of those un-
fortunate occurrences in which
no blame can be attached to any
one. The body of Mrs. Minnich
was at once taken to their home
in Greenville, and Mr.. Minnich
was taken to the home of DR..
Monger, where he remained in
great uncertainty as to recovery
until today, when he was remov-
ed to his home. They were on
their way to attend the wedding
of Miss Beulah, daughter of Lew
Minnich, living about five miles
south from here.
According to the account of g
dispatch published in the dailieS
a petition for a local option elec,
ton was started last Thursday
morning in this county and by
night reports indicated there
would be about 5000 signers to it
1t is said that 300 petitioners i;
required to make legal call, 81
l suppose there is no question
that a wet and dry election will
be held in the near future. 1t il
easy to understand why the liq
uor dealers are interested in re
