In one room, as we were passing

Presently Samson opened his eyes

Then he asked-and it was the first

over twenty long years-"Whar did de

POINTS out Newspaper Law.

Columbus. = Ruling that a news
paper must have actual knowl.
edge that an indictment is secret be-
fore it can be held guilty of contempt
of court for publishing it, the circuit
court handed down a decision in the
Cleveland Leader case, reversing the
common pleas court in part and sus-
tanning the lower court in part. The
case grew out of the second budget
of indictments which We're returned
during the general assembly investi-
cation Of year ago. Carl Ruth OF
Columbus, being the head of the Lead
er bureau, and the Cleveland Leader,
were hailed in contempt for publishing
secret indictments against j. G. Mea'
der and l.. G, Miller of Akron and
Cleveland, both of whom were indict-
ed as bribe-giyers.
Ruth was dismissed by the lower
Hourt and the Leader Company was
fined 5000 and costs. The circuit
court sustains the discharge of Ruth
but reverses the fine of the Leader
saying that Notice or some culpable
conduct is essential to sustain such a
charge" The court also says that in
the Leader case it was neither
charged nor proved that information
was obtained from prohibited sources
Columbus. = Much damage was

OHIO FARMER BOYS
COMPETE FOR TRIP
FIFTEEN HUNDRED OHIO LADS
ENTER INTO THE STATE
CORN CONTEST.
ONE BOY IN EACH COUNTY CAN WIN
Young Agriculturists Who Win VIII
Be Taken on Visit to Washing
ton Free of Expense-Cel-
ebraton Planned.

Columbus.-Fifteen hundred boys
in Ohio are competing for the
honor of going to Washington
next fall free of expense under the
plan completed by A. P. Sandles of
the state board of agriculture. One
boy in each county, who grows the
best acre of corn, will have the honor
of representing the county on the
Washington trip.
Fifteen hundred acres in the state
are being titled this year with Jealous
care The ground was plowed with
greater care than ever before. 1t was
prepared for planting under the best
advice. The corn was properly
planted. 1t is being cultivated with
more than ordinary interest. If 1t
beats all the others it means a trip
to Washington. Public-spirited men
in each county have completed ar.
rangements for paying the boys ex.
penses on the trip and IA counties
are in the race. Some have two OF
three purses offered, so that some
counties will have more than one lad
Sandles wants to know how the
corn was raised, what it cost the boy
in time and what sort of care he dis
played in getting ready for the con,
test. To get this he has prepared
blanks for each boy to fill out with a
history of how he raised the crop
The answers to 1900 questions will
be compiled and will furnish valuable
information compared with the re-
suits.
The great aim of the contest first
was to get the boys interested in farm
work and to stimulate them to their
best efforts to show what sort OF
crops were possible when care was
used. The information from the tab
ulated answers will be sent over the
state in the form of special bulletin
on corn during the coming winter
The inspectors from the board OF
agriculture are making visits to the
special acres of land planted in corr
and will submit reports on what they
find during the summer.

William Shaw, the secretary of the
famous Christian lndeavor society,
said in witty after-dinner address in
Boston:
There is little Back Bay girl who
is much interested in her auntie's
Christian Endeavor work. The little
girl was writing letter to her broth
er at Yale one day, and in the midst
of the epistle she looked up and said:
"'Auntie, how do you spell devil?'
"'Devil! cried her aunt, with a
shocked sfile. Why. child. don't you
know you mustn't use such word as
devil?'
"'But, auntie,' protested the little
girl, I want to tell brother about your
Christian and devil meetings?'"

Last Thursday was an ideal day
for a Fourth of July celebration
and big crowd came to Lacledt
| to have a good time-and they
surely had it. Many came from
the south and north on the specials
and many more from other direc-
tion on the regular trains, while
hundreds drove in.
The first big event was the pa
rade at 1920, in which a number
of historical characters, Uncle Sam,
the Goddess of Liberty and several
others were represented, followed
by the drum corps. Then came
the twenty-fOur handsomely deco
rated buggies carrying the forty
eight young ladies representing the
states of the union, with the La
clede Concert Band resplendent in
their new uniforms, followed by
several merchants floats, comics
and burlesques. This parade was
probably the best thing of the kind
ever given in the county, and was
got up IN three days.
Hon. j. Ell. Whitecotton, candi-
date for congress from this district,
and Mrs. Carrie Lee Carter Stokes,
a brilliant prohibition lecturer, de-
livered interesting addresses. Hon.
A. L. Reeves, who was to have
spoken, was detained by illness.
The baseball game between
Meadville and Forker was a close

and Mrs. and Mrs. G. M. Howe
began in Laclede Tuesday evening
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe were for a
number Of years with the lyceum
bureau and gave musical programs
in almost all parts of the United

the last few years doing the work
Of singing evangelists. Mr.. Howe
will play several different kinds Of
musical instruments, among which
will be the merimbaphone and mus

ber of others. The music will be
under their direction and will con-
sist of special solos and numbers
every night.
The evangelist has been working
in this capacity for 9 years, 6 of
which was spent as state evangelist
of Iowa. There will be charts.
banners and various methods to IL
lustrate the subjects under discus
sion. Five minute object lessons
will be given to the children at the
beginning Of each service. These
lessons have received the most ear
nest attention and have been pro-
ductive of great good.
1t is the purpose of these evan
gelists to do the entire town good,
to be instrumental in bringing the
Gospel to as many as will hear it,
to deepen the spiritual life, and
lead men from sin to God. We
would be glad if every church |
would be strengthened, and every |
christian made stronger and the
forces of iniquity made weaker,
We solicit the help and christian
fellowship of the religious people
of the community. A big tent is
on the way from Osgood and as
soon as it arrives the services will
be held in the tent. Until it comes
the meetings will be in the Chris

when by your help your son or
husband or wife, father
or mother may be brought to Christ
and their eternal destiny deter
mined. The Bible says we are
watchmen on Zion's walls to warn
our brothers of the coming enemy;
if we fail to warn him his blood
will be required at our hands.
Don't let US go up to judgment
with the blood of our loved ones on
our hands, but may we gather them
as precious sheaves for the garner.
The services will begin at s p. m.
with song and other services and
will be entertaining and uplifting
