The war department has most decided
views. Blu, up to late hour no definite
agreement had been reached.
AS his royal nighness will not be ac-
companied TO Washington by the duchess
or the Princess Patricia. the military
branch OF the government believes that
the president and his immediate family
only should greet the distinguished Nis-
itor.
Members OF the cabinet versed in diplo-
matte usage and the ways or royalty
suggested that President Taft and his
family should be surrounded by at least
the more important cabipt members and
their wives when the duke arrives.
Up to Knox.
1t is the privilege Of Secretary Knox
to reconcile these conflicting opinions and
ii was announced at the White House TO-
night that he would not announce his
decision until tomorrow.

Gambling determines the size of

Make The Old Farm PAY

Make The Old Farm Pay
There are 271,3S3 farms in
Ohio. This is 5000 less than ter
years ago. There is a decrease
in the number of people living
in the country, a decrease in ag-
ricultural workers. The agricul-
tural population of more than
half of the counties of Ohio is
decreasing But, worst of all,
associated with this decrease in
agricultural population is the de-
crease in the total amount of
crops and livestock produced. Is
agriculture in Ohio going down
hill? In many counties farmers
have given up the struggle and
have moved to town and the old
farm is growing up to weeds,
briars and brush. Farm houses
with boards nailed over the win
doWS, empty barns and vacant
fields tell the story of agricultur-
al decline; yet the average city
man when he settles with "the
butcher, the baker and the can
dlestick maker" not only consid-
ers these "knaves all three" but
usually considers the farmer the
champion "get-rich-quick sche-
mer' Of the bunch.
Something must be done quick
ly.. Ohio is no longer agricul-
tural. It is Industrial, and in the
future it will become more and
more so. Agriculture must be
developed to the limit of profta-
BILE production. Every acre must
do it's best. The farmer must be
a manager, a reader, a thinker,
a planner. He must live better
himself and help keep the other
fellows from starving. Only CO., :

The editor of the Irving Times
has found a definition for the
word newspaper. Here it is:
"A newspaper is a thing that
every person in town knows how
to run except the editor. 1t is
what should be an oven for
'roasts' on every one except your
self, members of your family and
a few of your particular friends
for whom it should be a sweet
scented boquet of praise.
1T is what you want to see the
