Morgan county farmers claim
as an excuse for not raising
wheat that they can't get it
threshed. If the wheat were
raised the machines would come.
This is no excuse at all. If a
certain number of farmers want
ed to raise wheat they could well
afford to buy a threshing ma
chine on the cooperative plan.
Then after they had threshed
their own grain, wheat, rye and
oats. they could thresh for other
farmers in the country who had
CHANGED to raise grain. This
would be a stimulus to the cult
walton of wheat and small grains
and e'erlong it would become
general. Morgan county form
erly raised enough wheat for
home consumption and shipped
flour away. Why not return to
the good old days, raise our own
wheat and keep all the money at
home which is annually sent out
of the county for flour?

A USEFUL DEVICE.

Anyone who really wants to
swat the fly and swat him effect
lively will do we'll to visit the Cole
hotel and have Mr.. Cole show
them his new homemade fly trap.
1t is so simple Of construction
and can be built so cheaply that
there is no excuse for anyone not
to do his or her part toward ex-
terminating the pest. The trap is
the handiwork of Boyd Cole, Of
Oklahoma, who is visiting his
father. 1t was tried in that state
and proved so effective that some
towns passed ordinances compel
ing it's use. If one of these traps
were placed in every home and
every business house in West Lib
erty and proper precautions taken
to destroy the breeding places of
the fly we could throw our screen
doors and windows into the junk
pile within the next two months
This statement may sound fishy,
but it is absolutely true. The
fly could be exterminated in
West Liberty with but little trou-
BILE and expense. But fifty,
seventy five nor ninty percent
of the people can't do it. 1t
will take the cooperation of every
business man and housekeeper.
We could describe the trap referr-
ed to above but you can geta bet
ter idea of its construction and
its usefulness by seeing it. &C
and see it and build one as soon
as you get home.

Did you ever take notice how
that when a man or set of men
becomes prosperous, acquires
real estate, mining or corporation
stocks, and begins to be account
ed one of the big ones" did you
ever notice how he or they at once
begin to need and demand legis-
lative protection? Paradoxical
as it may sound, it is the man of
money and means who is always
rushing to the legislature and
demanding that certain laws be
passed to protect his interests
which, it seems, are in constant
danger from being confiscated
and ruined by someone, presum-
ably the poor devil with whom

From all indications Charley

Much is being made Of the O.
pen Air Work during the summer
at the Moody Bible Institute of
Chicago. 1t has been found an
opportune time to reach the null
titudes.
During six days of each week,
the Gospel Wagons go out with
the students, both men and wo-
men, to the street corners, parks,
etc. There the crowds gather to
the gospel message and enjoy the
gospel songs.
1t is expected that gospel au-
tomobile will be added to the
equipment of the Institute soon.
This will enable the students,
with their leaders, to cover a
larger territory in Chicago, and
visit amusement parks, ball
parks, summer gardens, and
such places where people congre-
gate in large numbers.
The Institute employs a man,
who has had many years expert
ence, to direct this work and
train the students to do it, and
also seeks to stimulate and en-
courage the churches Of the city
to engage in it.
This, together with other forms
of practical work, is a vital part
of the free training in the Eng
lish Bible, and Gospel Music pro-
vided at the Moody Bible Insti-
tute of Chicago.

Rumor of deals, "''s lates"and
combinations are rife in the COM
ing primary but we judge that
those who are most interested in
making deals are the ones who
realize the need Of them worst.
The candidate who is depending
upon his merits as a candidate and
who feels that he has some real
strength is not anxious to make
deals. Anyway, it is fool candi-
date who attempts to deliver his
friends to another man. The self
respecting friends will resent any
attempt to deliver them like chat
tells to some other candidate, and
may retaliate by voting against

DIFFICULT JOB.

Several weeks ago we were as
sured that a financial statement
of the town would be published.
as soon as the proper settlement
can be,made with a former officer.
We and other taxpayers have
been waiting patiently for the
long-looked-for publication, but
thus for we have waited in vain.
These settlements must be diff
ficult jobs. In fact it is the opin-
ion of a number of persons that
the books of the town are in such
condition that it will require the
services of an expert accountant
to straighten them out. In the
meantime the taxpayers are get
ting more anxious to know what
becomes of their money.

Whether there is any reason
for the persistent'rumor that GER
tain candidates are planning for
wholesale steal in the election we
do not know. We are inclined to
doubt that such is the intention Of
anyone. But, it will be well
enough to bear in mind that the
people are not going to stand for
anything of that kind, and the
election commissioners should see
to it that the election officers are
men who can not be corrupted.
All that anyone can wish for is
a fair and honest count of the bal
lots, and any attempt to do other
wise will end disastrously to the
ones who attempt it. The people
are awake and intend to have a
fair election.

There has been no concerted
effort to get the various candi-
dates for county office to sign a
pledge not to use money, whis-
key or other improper means to
secure their nomination, but pub
lie sentiment is so strong against
these things that in our opinion
no candidate will have the nerve
to defy it. The time has come
when it is a risky proposition to
secure a nomination by unfair
means and our Office seekers are
recognizing this fact more and
more. The day is not far distant

If it were not for the fact that
the board of trustees of the town
of West Liberty seem impervious
to every criticism, to every APP

suggest that if they intend to do
anything in the way of building

busy. But the impression forces
itself upon us that they do not
intend to do anything at any time
for the welfare of the town.

Will Have Hard Time ateaIinq.

Washington, D. c., April 2.-Car
and depot thieves will find their oper-
ations in the future more difficult than
in the past and will haye to face pros
ecution in the Federal coults as we'll as
before the State tribunals as the re-
suit of bill introducedby Represen-
tative G. G, Carlin, of Alexandria,
Va, passed by beth Houses of Con-
gress, and approved by the President.
This act imposes maximum fine OF
$4,000, or Imprisonment for not more
than ten years for any person con-
victed of unlawful]y breaking into
any railway car containing interstate
or foreign shipment Of freights or ex-
press, or Of stealing or obtaining by
fraud or deception from any car, de-
pot or platform, vessel or wharf, any
freight, express or baggage which con-
stitutes or is part of any interstate
or foreign shipment.
While the Carlin Act in no way in
fringes on the jurisdiction of the State
courts, it puts the whole power of the
Federal Department Of Justice be-
hind the detection and prosecution Of
persons guilty Of stealing from cars
or depots, since it will be practically
impossible for thieves to distinguish
intrsstate and interstate shipments.
1t is confidently expected that this law
will have powerful effect In breaking
up theft of this character which not
only involves serious loss to the rail-
ways and cause great inconvenience
to shippers and travellers, but are a
constance menace to railway employ
ees and the travelling public since II
| is notorious that car thieves do not
| hesitate to interfere with trains or re-
sort to other eXpedients. to serve their
own purposes, regardless of the con-
sequences.
