Training School Opens.

Quite large attendance was present
at the opening of the second year of
the Rock County Training school at
GAINESVILLE Monday morning. Thirty
ing session. Other applications have
been received, however, and it is
thought that before the end of the
week the total number will be at least
forty. This is quite an increase over
last year, and shows that the school is
one that will be appreciated even more
during future years.

Mr.. G.. H. Eimerbrink, with Otto

short stay during the week.
Louis Pincus, with L. Taussig, Chi
cago leaf dealer, was visitor in this
market few days the latter part of
the week.
j. B. Killebrew, special agent on to-
bacco statistics for the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, has been in
the state during the week.
Richard We'll, of L. We'll & Son, New
York, is in the state looking after the
purchase of the new crop, making

K. L. Henry, in charge of the leaf
department of the P. Lorillard Co., and
Geo. E. Gary, state representative for
the company, were visitors in this mar
ket Tuesday.
Chas. A. Brown, for many years con-

Mr.. Paul Hirschorn, with the United

Blur, with the E. Rosenwald & Bro.
firm, returned to New York the latter
part of the week.
Owing to some misunderstanding re-
garding some of the conditions, the
GAINESVILLE contracting firm, who were
awarded the contract for the Eisenlohr
warehouse, have declined to furnish the
required bond, and contract has since
been awarded to the D. Raulf Co. of
Milwaukee. The principals of the lat
ter concern have been on the ground
during the week and expect to start
active operations soon. The Wileman
Bros, who had the job of excavating
the basement, have completed the work
of removing about 5000 cubic yards
which has easily been disposed of for
filling purposes.

WHAT'S YOUR GUESS ON OHIO?

The big fight is in one of it's clinaxes
today where Roosevelt and Tawt await
the decision Of Ohio's voters. What's
your guess on Ohio this morning?
Ohio is regarded by some as de-
cisive. Neither the colonel nor the
Judge have so admitted however. Both
are claiming the nomination without
decisive victory in that state. Taft as
sures US that he has the delegates
cinched, Roosevelt confidently an
nounces his strength sufficient for
nomination.
There IL no manner Of doubt that
Ohio will have a very great effect on
the fortunes Of the opposing candi-
dates. II Taft loses 1t he is done and
out of the game. So much may be ad-
mitted by his closest supporters. II
Roosevelt breaks even or gets piece
of Ohio he is far being being out Of
It. Indeed when is Roosevelt out Of 1t?
He has been reported dead. wounded
or missing several times but has al
ways turned up at roll call. 1t is GER
tain that he will be in the convention
when the general roll Is called at Chi
cago, strong, ready and the core Of an
enthusiastic and powerful faction. If
he loses Ohio he will be found still
active, fighting and with a big chance
in the convention. There Is no en-
thusiasm for Taft. On the contrary
the president IL being steam rolled to
the convention. The general conclus-
ion that he VIII be defeated II nomi-
mated Ia not to be dispelled by the &C
QUESTION Of half Of even a majority
Of Ohio delegates.
The size of the vote in Ohio today will
decide the state. If progressives cast
theirfull vote and for Roosevelt Taft will
lose. II they stay at home he will win
for the old guard will be out to man.
The political prognosticator finds him
self in the position Of the weather

tell weather twenty-four hours ahead,
the young man waited twenty-four
hours before issuing bulletin.

MAYNARD CHILDREN.
TCedar Rapids Gazette

Have you any idea how much sor-
row is caused parents by the thought
less waywardness Of their sons, and
daughters? Have you any idea how
many gray hairs are caused by young
men and women who never think OF
father and mother until the law be-
gins to secure clutches on them? The
number is really astonishing. Many a
young fellow. in disgrace, suddenly be-
gins to think Of his mother. He pleads
for leniency or for freedom from pub
Lefty, on mothers account. Some
times, maybe, he uses that sort of a
plea not so much for mothers sake as
for his own: but the chances are that
he has enough of the spark of man
hood In his breast to think at least a
little about his mother. The fellow
who entirely forgets mother is pretty
low down in the scale OF humanity.
Here's another thought: A great
many young fellows who are going the
wrong road will never know how much
the mother love has done for them. In
saving them from publicity and from
severe punishment for their misdeeds.
The world sympathizes with mother
hood. and many is the time judge and
Jury are softened by mothers tears
and pleadings, and many is the time
the papers have more regard for moth
er's pleadfngs than they have for the
opportunity to tell all the news.
There would be less criminality in
the world if the young men and women
with criminal tendencies were to think
OF these things.

Altho republicans who have read the

to the satisfaction OF politicians and
the president himself. Next week oc-

Taft's weakness stares the Chicago

next week occurs the primary in Ohio
which means the virtual elimination of
the president from the race il he is
defeated. Mr.. Taft himself admits that
defeat in Ohio would cook his goose.
But does this necessarily mean the
OF Roosevelt? 1t must be
admitted that the ex-president still has
a tremendous hold upon the people
whether that hold is the old regard for
him retained or simply a protest
against Taft. But IT must be remem-

THE CIRCULAR LETTER MACHINE,

If it is true thta the Des Moines
Capital Is paying for all the circular
Glitter sent out in the interest of Lafe
4oung's candidacy it must be the big
gest gold mine Of a newspaper known
to the publishing business for the VOL
ume Of postage being burnt would
choke a Panama canal. 1t IS said in
Des Moines that a certain duplicating
firm is ar work on a single order for
100000 letters or more and Judging
from those being received about the
state the distribution seems to be al
most universal.
But 1t is sometimes amusing to note
the mistakes made by a force of clerks.
Imagine the editor Of the Times-Re-
publican, for instance, receiving a let
ter Of solicitation apparently signed
by the Honorable Lafayette himself.
1t came Immediately following the
state convention when every other
delegate to that convention received a
similar letter but does anyone suppose
that the editor Of the Capital would
personally sign such a letter to the ed
itor Of the Times Republican, 1t Is
apparent that this appeal is machine
made affair.
And then the old soldiers are on the
| mailing list. too. Just listen to this
on Des Moines Capital letterhead:
To the Old Soldiers of Iowa:-I want
your enthusiastic and active support at
the republican primaries Monday. June
3. am a candidate for the United
States senatorship and will appreciate
your vote.
For forty years I have advocated the
cause Of the old soldier. l am in favor
the Sherwood bill. l believe in pen
sions as debt to the old soldfer-not
charity. have preached this doc
trine in my newspaper. The Des Moines
Capital for a quarter Of century.
Support of the old soldier and his
cause is not new idea with me. Three
OF my brothers were in the war. l was
not old enough to go.
| hope you will aid my cause by
making my position known to your
| comrades.
The primary Is Monday June 3.
/ Sincerely yours,
LAFAYETTE YOUNG.
It came to vet eran of the civil war
and party committeeman in Marshall
county, and here is his reply:
Hon. Lafayette Young, Des Moines
Iowa:-Your letter Of May II with in-
closed circular Is received. You ask
for my active and enthusiastic sup
port at the republican primaries June
8. You say in your letter that you
have always been a firm advocate OF
the rights Of the old soldiers, and all
this finds proof Of it's truth in the en-
closed circular. Doubtless at the Cedar
Rapids convention you were out OF
voice, or considered the occasion i'm
perfume in which to vote for or voice
your sentiment in favor Of the Sher-
wood pension bill. Occasionally wishes
and interests clash, however. you are
entitled to the same enthusiastic sup
port for United States senator that
you gave to your friends, the old sol
diers Of Iowa, In the convention al
Cedar Rapids. and I believe you will
receive on June 8, 1912.
Very respectfully yours.
AN OLD SOLDIER.
