a Great Grace

1t is no great matter to associate
with the good and gentle, for this is
naturally pleasing to all and everyone
willingly enjoyeth peace and loveth
those best that agree with him. But
to be able to live peaceably with hard
and perverse persons, or with the dis
orderly, or with such as go contrary to
us, is great grace, and most COM
mendable and manly thing.-Thomas

BUY SHEEP AND
LAMBS NOW
But Don't Be a Sheep.
A COMMON EXPERIENCE.
Don't Follow the Crowd.

In chasing the market for profit, the
fellows who blindly follow the crowd
are generally the ones who get left.
The successful man buys when he has
the least competition, at the lowest
prices and with the greatest margin
for profit, which usually brings his
selling time during period of COM
parative scarcity at market, and he
therefore gets higher prices and most
always makes good profit in his
dealings.
Here's Chance for Gain.
The present very low market val
ues Of feeding sheep and lambs, being
less than the cost of production, Of
fers such an opportunity to those who
are prepared to properly care for
them.
Feeders Are Selling Cheap.
Well-bred, thin but thrifty lambs Of
the growing kind can now be bought
on the Chicago market for $5.25 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of sim
liar description, $3.40 to $3.75; year
ling wethers, $4.25 to $3.50; yearling
breeding ewes, $500 to $3.50, and good
feeding ewes at $3.50 to $2.85. These
prices are about $1.75 lower than a
year ago for feeder lambs, and the
lowest since 1904. Feeder sheep
prices also are unusually low.
Now Is the Time to Buy.
In view of the fact that prices OF
feeder sheep and lambs are now be-
low the cost Of production, and that
present prices of lamb and mutton are
out Of line with all other meats and
must therefore soon rise because of
the increased consumption invited
thereby, the conclusion is inevitable
that now is the best time to buy feed
er sheep and lambs for all those who
are ready to prepare them for market
during the early part of next year.
A leading sheep owner and dealer
says: Fat is made pretty cheap on
the Fall feed that otherwise would
be wasted, and the sheep and lamb

point Of fertility is worthy of most
careful consideration"

Any permanent system of agricul-
ture must be one that leads to i'm
provement. We are not farming for a
day or year. We do not know but
that we may have many thousand
years to come in which this same land
must be farmed. Any fall in crop pro-
duction, no matter how small, will
eventually lead to land ruin. The de-
crease of one-tenth of bushel Of corn
per year would mean only five bush
els in fifty years, the average mans
life in active farming. This decrease
of five bushels would not be notice
able, but in five hundred years there
would be a fifty-bushel decrease, pro-
viding the rate of decrease remained
the same. This serves to show that
any decrease in yield, no matter how
small, will soon lead to improbable

Columbus.-An important opinion
constituting the compensation law for
county commissioners who take Office
throughout the state on Monday for
two-year terms, are given to the state
accounting bureau by Attorney Gener-
al Hogan.
He holds that the phrase "the year
1919" in the compensation law is to
be regarded as meaning the official
year beginning the third Monday in
September of this year, when the COM
missioners take Office, and that their
compensation Is to be determined from
this basis.

or ten days. No roost should be pro-
vided, as the fowls should not jump
or fly. Each fowl should be carefully
watched for several days and if wind
puffs gather near the wound, they
should be stuck with needle Some
fowls will die during the operation,
even if the operator is an expert How
ever, these fowls are just as good to
eat as if they had been bled in the
mouth.

lnitiaIs to Be Tabooed.

If you wish to hurt the feeling of

RAISING CAPONS is PROFITABLE BUSINESS

The capon grows, looks and acts
very much like other kinds of animals
that have been castrated. They are
lazy and have no tendency to fight
other fowls. They seem only to like
to eat and grow fat. They grow
much faster and fatter than a cockerel
of the same age. They also become
much larger and sell at a higher price
per pound.
The Operation.
Cockerels from two to four months
old and weighing from two to four
pounds should be selected. If pos.
sible select from the large breeds,

shan, Games, Orpington and Plymouth

Demand Reserve on Tlms DepOsIts.


Columbus.-State Bank Examiner F.
E. Baxter has been upheld in an opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General Ho-
gan in his ruling that savings banks,
safe deposit and trust company banks
shall be required to maintain reserve
on time deposits. A number of banks
have taken issue with MIR. Baxter's
holding on this question.
When building and loan associations
sell real estate on time contracts they
are not permitted to distribute an
amount equal to the profit on the
transaction among their stockholders
until the sale has been closed by pay
ment Of the entire amount to the as
sociation. This is the burden of an
opinion given to Inspector of Building
and Loan Associations E. H. Moore by
Mr.. Hogan. The question came from
Hamilton, where companies sought to
divide uncollected profits.
Aid to Prosecutors.
An opinion given to the state bureau
of inspection and accounting of public
offices greatly increases the authority
of the prosecuting attorneys of the
counties. Under it, If the commission
ers refuse to follow the prosecutors
legal advice, they are without means
of legal defense.
Mr. Hogan was asked whether, when
the county commissioners were sued
by the prosecutor because they sought
to pay, a claim which he did not ap-
prove, the commissioners could hire
an attorney to defend the suit. The
answer is that they cannot, and the
attorney general adds that the CON-
missioners should follow the prosecu.
tors advice and stand any suit that
may be brought against their official
board.
Prevents School Redistricting.
Under another ruling Mr. Hogan
will prevent the formation Of large
number of new school districts over
the state. Under the law special dis
tricts may be created in any district
where the taxable property is 100000
Or more. r.
Hogan says this contemplates the
old duplicate and not the new one,
which is>much larger than the old one.
Debts contracted by vote of the peo-
pie, or by reason of orders of a de-
partment of state, cannot be repudi-
ated, it is held in an opinion to Prose
cutor Enos of Guernsey county. In
the village of Byesville $4,000 was
voted for a new school. During the
course of the erection of the building
the state inspector of workshops and
factories ordered alterations to be
made at a cost of $1,000 Twice the
people rejected bond issue to meet
the increased cost. Hogan says the
board may issue the bonds necessary
to meet the expense without a vote of
the people.
Mileage Not Allowed.
Engineers engaged by the board OF
commissioners of Franklin county are
not to be paid mileage while at work,
under a law enacted in 1905, although
they may turn in expense accounts, is
the finding in an opinion to State
