OHIO FARMERS Gan DOUBLE
STATES YEARLY CROP YIELD
GOTman Methods Give Output
From One Acre Equal to
Two Acre Yield
Here.

HIO farmers till two acres of
ground to obtain the yield of
cereals which German farmers
harvest from one acre. Yet the
farm lands Of the Buckeye State are
far superior in natural fertility to the
soils of Europe. which have been under
constant cultivation for centuries. A
century ago German fields yielded but
twelve bushels of cereals to the acre,
and now they yield thirty-nine. while
those of Ohio. yield but twenty-three
bushels. In no country can cereal
crops he TILED after they are sown.
and the soil is plowed and narrowed
for cereals as well in Ohio as it is in
Europe. The key with which Eu-
ropean farmers unlock natures store
house is to plant their cereal fields to
sugar beets one year in four. and if
this were done in Ohio the extra yield
of cereals would be worth at present
prices $40,000.O00 a year to Ohio farm
would share in the extra treasure, as
increased production would mean de-
creased prices of food products.
These and other equally startling
facts appear from Il letter on Ohio's
agricultural condition addressed to
Senator Atlee POmerene by Truman
G. Palmer. a diligent and distinguished
student of agricultural economics. who
has devoted fifteen years to studying
farming conditions in the United States
and Europe.
During the past thirty years." writes
Mr.. Palmer. 1.-The German farmer has
increased his collective average yield
Of wheat, barley, oats and rye so per
cent. and during the past forty years
Ohio farmers have increased their yield

Mrs. C. F. Keller transacted
business in Greenville Monday.
The ladies of this vicinity were
treated to an illustrated lecture
on health last Tuesday afternoon
by two ladies from Dayton. The
lecture was not as we'll attended
as it should have been, on ac-
count of it not having been pro-
perly announced beforehand.
The subject discussed is one of
vital Importance to every woman
and girl the world over. There
is not enough training being
done in the home along the line
of purity and health. Too much
is being left to be found out in a
haphazard way through school
associates and other methods that
do not conduce to purity and
good morals.

was pigsty. the presence of which
was Indicated under certain wind con-

go there again this year. but wrote
the farmer that the piggery would
have to be attended to before he en-

The farmers reply was brief;
"Can accommodate you all right.
There have been no hogs on the place

NORWATS EXPERIENCE WITH
STATE COMPENSATION FUND.

The compulsory workmCl's compen-
sation bill reserves to the state the
sole right to carry insurance OF this
kind. The discussions of the subject
in the legislature have brought out
many points. Here are two of them:
1t is simply scheme to avoid all
the difficulties of adjusting private
rights between employers and en-
ployes by turning over the whole mat.
ter of compensation to political bu-
reau with power to tax employers and
to dispense the money thereby obtain
ed, as it pIeases. If this is good
practice in regard to compensation
why should not all other private
rights and liabilities be adjusted in
the same way? The answer Is, be-
cause that would be complete social
ism. So also is this plan socialism,
partial, but pure.
In Norway.
In Norway the state has itself as
sumed the liability for compensation
for industrial injuries, and taxes en-
ployers, at rates graded according TO
rough guesses at the risks in their re-
Spective trades, to maintain fund
Zone single fund) out of which the
state makes the compensation pay
ments. Government officials do every
thing-manage the fund. fix the rates
for particular employers, investigate
claims and determine awards. There
is no comeback on the employer
after he has paid his premiums; l. the
premiums are not sufficient the state
loses, and the taxpayers generally must
pay the deficiency. This has happen

We all remember the fairy story that was a joy in our child life and how we loved the beau tIfui patient little girl who was forced by her jealous stepmother to perform the meanest the of household duties while the two naughty stepsisters enjoyed all the luxuries of home and gay butterfly life. We were delight ed when the fairy godmother with a touch of the magic wand, turned the pumpkin into an ele- gant carriage, the mice into splendid horses, Hazards into footman with gorgeous liveries. and intensely interested when, with one touch of themagic wand changed CinderelIa's ragged gar- ments into magnificent apparel. adding the wonderful glass slip pers. We remember the God mothers charge, CinderelIa's flight from the ball room and the loss of the slipper, the prlnce's exciting hunt for the owner and the happy events that followed.
 The children of the town under the direction of the Ladies' Aid, will give a flower reproduction of this fascinating story. in which the Cinderella Daisy will become the Princess Marguerite: the Prince, as the spring Sunshine. will make the brown buds blossom and dance in sffc May-day bal; the two naughty. proud sisters will forget to snub the little step sister and the good fairy Godmother will wave her wand and make all the troubles vanish and happiness reign su- preme.
 Perhaps she might even be able to make us forget our troubles. It is worth trying; besides we will be sure of a pleasant hour of entertainment. Come!

Was He the Desperate?

Jack Uphoff, freight conduct or, and his trlanmen, had quite an exciting experience with a stranger before daylight yester- day morning. Some one ventur- ed the opinion that he may pos siblY have been the noted Utah desperado. Ralph Lopez. Just when or where he boarded the train is not known. but presum- ably Winslow is the place. He was first discovered when the train was somewhere near the Holbrook stockyards, and order ed to drop off. He emphatically refused. and drawing a bead on the brakeman with a rifle, an- nounced hIs intention to ride that train, intimating that it might be healthy for the train men to ride outside and leave the caboose to him. When threaten ed with the sheriff, he coolly ad- vised that he be accompanied by several deputies. as he was going to ride that train. He is believ- ed to have been heavily armed. carrying two revolvers besides a rifle. Trainmen do not know whether he left the train, making his escape in the darkness. or rode through to Gallup. They did not investigate further.

SCHOOL NOTES OF
 SPECIAL INTEREST

 The attendance for this week has been poor. especially in the primary rooms. The weather is to blame, and yet it has not been severe if it was muddy. Every day is a foundation for other days and no wall stands firm with one of each five stones gone. The 4th grade teacher knows by the work of her pupils which ones had nerfect attend ance slips in the 1st and 2nd grades.
 Mary. Annie, and Susie Thom- as of the grammar room. and Charlie and George of the north primary room, returned to school Monday after having been out on account Of the death of their mother. The children have the sympathy of the entire school in their bereavement.
 The 8th grade had an arithme- tic test on Monday, and in its connection with the the results, the home incentive to urge on good work in some other commu- nity was mentioned. Johnny said, If I get 100 papa gives me a dollar. if make 90 I get if ty cents, and if make 70 I get a whipping" There is nothing like home incentive!
 Arthur and Georgia Sharp are out on account of sickness and Pratt and Goldie Greer are out until after the holidays.
 The 3rd grade are being taught how to use a dictionary. and are working on the multiplication tables They hope to have the 12s mastered by Christmas.

WOODRUFF OFFICERS
 CATCH WILD MAN

During the fOrepart Of Decem- Der numerous rumors came to town saying the mall carriers and others had seen a wild man in the vicinity of Milky Wash. The wild man has also visited several sheep camps in that locality. He is described as be- ing a very hard looking character very poorly clad, having on over alls torn off at the knees, no shoes. no hat, hair. and beard long and knotted with snarls. He was reported to the officers as being a very dangerous char acter to be at large.
 Thursday, the 11th. several stockmen rode out in the vicinity of Milky Wash and located him, and came back in the evening and told what they had seen. Then gathering.a posse of Wood rUff's bravest native sons went out to get the wild man. leaving town in the evening and return Ing that night about 8 o'clock with a specimen of humanity such as had never been seen in the village before. Fortunately the mail carrier. Bart Smithson, who had seen him before identi- fled him. His outward appear ance was that of a weak-minded man who had evidently been out of civilization for many months. He had very sullen disposition and weusa Ecs tax to any one and seemed to be frightened by the many spectators who came out to see him.
 He was held under guard in the street for about an hour while the men in charge. by the aid of, suggestions from the spectators. planned a place to hold him over night. which was in the public hall where there was a good fire and everything made as comfort able as possible by the generosi- ties of the sympathetic towns people. Everybody expressed a willingness to do any thing they could for the comfort of the poor old fellow. Many volunteered food and raiment. One out of the many voluteers, Miss Ruth Savage. prepared a sumptuous supper for the old man which he ate with a ravenous appetite.
 After supper a bed was pre- pared for the old man and MT. Pearce, who seemed to have more influence with him than any one else. persuaded him to go to bed by telling him we were all his friends and were going to treat him kindly.
 At this time all the spectators were asked to leave the room, and guards were appointed. Many volunteered to stand guard but only six were chosen.
 Everything was alright during first guard but there was a slip between second and third guard and the wild man slipped out. Second guard declares he was there when he left and third guard declares the man was goen when he came on duty. But Bart Smithson, who was on second guard, declares he never has and never will stay in a room where there is a crazy man.
