ASSaSSinS of Character

The most sacred and valuable pos
session Of every person is good name.
Especially is this true Of the reputa-
tion Of woman for virtue and chas
tity.
When one considers this and real.
iLes how easy it is to besmirch the
good name Of pure good woman 10y
slanderous and lying tales, 1t is sur
prising how frequently such tales are
told and upon what slight foundation.
We believe that some people are
possessed of such low and vulgar
minds that they see evil in the most
innocent acts, and some of these peo-
pie pretend to be christians.
We have often heard people ac'
cused of improper acts which had no
foundation except in the foul minds
and imaginations Of those who started
them. Nearly always when gossip
of this kind is being circulated, 1t will
be found when the facts are known
either to be a malicious lie or that the
wrong construction has been placed
on some perfectly natural and proper
act of the parties.
Sometimes slanderous gossip is
started through a thoughtless or
careless remark which has been mis-
understood by those hearing 1t.
But take your own experience with
tales Of this kind that you have heard.
Most of them you have found to be
untrue and most Of them you have
found have started with people who
delight in hearing and speaking evil
of others.
We do not believe there Is a more
despicable character than the man or
woman who tells something that Will
injure the good name and reputation
of another where there Is no real
ground for the statement and we are
glad to say that such people usually
are held in the contempt which they
deserve. Any person who continually
is telling something detrimental OF
Others, not only Injuries those he
talks about but lowers himself in the
opinion of all good men and women
II there is hell special and unusua

pared there for these assassins o.

Let us be charitable in viewing th'
acts of others and remember that Il
is easy to rob one of a good name ant
that when one is robbed Of his gooC
name he is left poor indeed.

An Appreciation

The following letter from John h.
Horst, of Columbus, o., shows an
appreciation of the worth of the Cen
trail Mutual Fire Insurance Associa
tion, of this city. 1t will interest
members as well as the officers and
that is the reason for It's publication;
Columbus, Ohio, May %, 1912.
Henry NJ. Higgins Esq, President Of
the Central Mutual Fire Insurance
Association, Hillsboro Ohio.
Dear Sir
Since was secretary Of your asso.
citation in its infancy and assisted in
its organization, my interest In its
progress still continues: and it is but
natural that | was greatly pleased
with the splendid work of the asso'
ciatied as disclosed by the call for
Assessment 13 for 1911.
The call shows that in risks you are
above the $4,000, 900 90 mark; and that
the total cost to the members in 1911
was but 81, 1925. In about the only
other company operating in Highland
county, not mutual association, the
rate for fire insurance is l.3 mills
per dollar, and the rate for cyclone
insurance is one half more, total of
mills on the dollar for one year. The
rate upon risks of S3,000,0OO.00 would
have cost the farmers of Highland
County the sum of $4,000, and since
the cost i'm the Central Mutual for
1911 was only S4,12l.25, the saving to
the farmers in a single year has been
$40, ,s7S 10.
Ordinary fire rate per Sl.0O l-3 mills
Ordinary cyclone " 2.3
Total. 8 mills
Cost ordinary on SO, 900, 900. .Sl5, 100000
Cost Central Mutual for 1911. 4,12l.25
Total saving to the far
mer in one year............. SlO,S7S.75
Certainly this is remarkable show.
ing and the officers and its members
are TO be congratulated.
Yours very truly,
JOHN r. HORST.
This saving to the farmers ought to
be doubled and it needs only that we
tell them OF 1t.

fOrIOrn Hopes.

II. p. Morrow, of this place, received
the Democratic nomination for Com
mon Pleas Judge and F. p. Hinton, Of
Chillicothe, the Democratic nomina-
tlon for Circuit Judge at the conven-
tions held at Chillicothe last week.
Both are leading forlorn hopes as both
the district and the circuit are largely
Republican. Mr.. Morrow opposes
Judge Newly than whom there is no
better or more popular judge on the
Common Pleas bench and Mr.. Hinton
Judge Jones who has made an enviable
record on the Circuit bench and the
Circuit is so overwhelmingly Republi-
can that even an avalanche could not
elect Mr.. Hinton.

Farewell of Buffalo Bill.

When two roads meet at parting
and the time comes to say good bye,
memory runs back to the earlier days,
when we were young and strong, and
full of hope and endeavor. Now our
old friend, Buffalo Bill" says he is on
his last tour of America, preparatory
to his retirement from the arena.
This announcement comes suddenly
and sharply, and the American people
will bid farewell to Col. VIM. F. Cody
with regret. He has been a historian
in giving living moving pictures, such
as were never before projected, in a
realistic manner, creating in that line
new era in entertainment.
For thirty years this dauntless
American Pony Express Rider, army
scout, Indian fighter, guide to the
Grand Duke Alexia, chosen comrade
of Sherman, Sheridan, Custer, Merritt,
Crook Miles, Carr and other United
States generals OF the Army, has
one over the world, carrying with
him his Congress Of Indians, cowboys,
Vaqueros, and cavalry of all nations,
teaching history in way never before
attempted.
Impressive object lessons are invalu-
able. When made through the eye
they are more lasting than in any
other manner, and inspire the other
senses to full grasp OF the subject.
Scenes thus witnessed render their
review in books reproduction In paint
ing or revival in discussion of continu-
Gus value, they have the merit OF
permanency attacked to the original
negative, and, like the camera, can
not lie" or exaggerate, as might a
simple description for "seeing Is
believing"
The distinguishing feature of "The
Wild West" has always been its
naturalness, the absence of all pre-
tence or artificiality. This fact won
for it reception and approval never
before extended to any exposition
offered to the public. There is the
same adherence to this realism In the
added numbers OF Pawnee Bill's Far
East, which is an appropriate COM
panion presentation Of people, customs
and pastimes of the Orient to the
historic portraiture of olden days in
the Wild West. Thus the 1.-TWO
Bills" Buffalo and Pawnee, enthusiasts
in their mission to instruct the masses
in natural history, in horsemanship,
in the knowledge Of their fellowmen
around the world, give the people a
rational entertainment that adds to
the spirit Of happiness and from It's
rugged character inculcates content.
The coming visit is for Col. Cody In
the saddle In our city. Then will we
see in this connection for the last
time, man who has made for himself
a fame seldom attained by anyone, one
destined to go down to futue ages with
increased interest and more lasting
permanently than many who aimed al
work seemingly more pretentious
Buffalo Bill, bidding us goodbye, II
receiving farewell which for hearti
ness and general regret has seldom
been given any public character. AL
his friends and admirers wish hin
long life, health and happiness In thu
privacy Of his mountain cabin home.

BEES ARE QUITE PROFITABLE
As Adjunct to Farm Nothing Pays So
Well When Properly Cared For
Work for Women.

(By MRS L. TAYLOR. ohioA
AS an adjunct to farming | know Of
nothing, when properly cared for, that
pays so well. considering the time
spent and the money invested, as bees.
Last year. two colonies produced
so pounds per colony of surplus hon.
ey, which sold for $50. The bees cost
$5, so there is gain of SIS, or 800 per
cent. No other stock or crop paid us
as we'll
bee-keeper not far from here av-
eraged liz pounds of honey from his
colonies. He sold It for 16 cents a
pound. This seems like very large
yield, but with improved methods we
expect to do even better. One farmer
in this community manages to clear
500 each year from his bees. He
keeps from twelve to fifteen colonies,
and his farm does not suffer from
neglect in the least.
IL the men have not time to attend
to the bees, the women can look after
them, They are generally about the
premises and have a better oppor-
tunity for watching them.
For gentleness in handling, ability
to gather honey and to keep free from
moth, prefer the Italians. Any chaff
hive will answer the purpose 1t
should be chat lined all through; and
for wintering out of doors chaff
cushion should be placed over the bees
to absorb moisture.
The Lambertville record., 1912-05-17
Locating the Apiary.

In starting an apiary the first thing
to be considered is the selection of a
suitable location for the hives This
should be in some open or nearly open
place where there is not much shade,
and where there will be no over
hanging branches from trees to inter-
fere with the operation of the apiarist,
convenient to some building to be used
as shop for preparing and storing
hives and apparatus, and near enough
swarming-time, and, above all, in q
place sufficiently level to make it easy
to get around the hives and keep the
grass moved about and AROUND them

The Baseball Slaves.

The principal reason why Ameri-
cans do not take seriously the pro-
posed congressional investigation OF
so-called baseball trust" is because
they know so much about baseball.
says the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The average American may have
only a vague idea and smattering OF
information concerning business com.
binations but of baseball his knowl.
edge is full and complete. He knows
Its history and Its present status. He
knows what puny thing 1t was be-
fore there was such thing as organi-
zation and what mighty national in
stitutlon It has become because of or
ganation.
Nor does the talk OF baseball slav.
cry" at all impress the average citizen.
He has heard II before. but he has new
er accepted It as more than high
sounding phrase with little or no truth
for its basis. II there are baseball
slaves they are at least bound by gold

Asparagus VIII grow In any good
well-drained farm land.
Onion sets should be set out just
as early as ground can be worked
Almost all our common garden veg
etabes require a somewhat algaline
soil.
Selling all the hay and grain raised
on the farm is a sure method of selling
the farm.
Young cabbage plants require thor
ough protection In the hotbed and
cold frame
1t is seldom that the very early va
rieties OF potatoes yield so well as
those little later.
Long. straight rows will make
easier work with the horse cultivator
or wheel hoe later on.
Heroic pruning measures are needed
to bring many old trees into bearing,
but it need not all be done the first
year.
There Is no danger of an overrich
soil for asparagus. In fact this crop
can only be grown profitably on very
rich land.
Did you ever think how much ground
good ear of corn will plant? It is
just that much ground wasted If you
plant a poor ear.
For sandy land the mammoth red
clover has proved superior to alsike or
the medium red varieties.
II Is as idle and useless to expect
good crops from inferior seed as 1t
would be to endeayor to breed thor
oughbred cattle from scrub stock.
Asparagus roots. properly planted,
fertilized and given good culture, will
continue to produce large spears for
fifteen to twenty years in succession.
Alslke clover is a perennial and can
be grown on ground that is too low
and moist for the medium red or
mammoth: 1t is grown equally well on
high ground.
