DEATH ACCOMPANIES
HEAT WAVE IN OHIO
Record Temperatures Prevail al
Several Points.

Columbus, O., July 31.-Many deaths
and prostrations accompany the heat
wave in Ohio. Record temperatures
for the year were established in many
places. Five babies died and six
adults were prostrated in Cleveland.
The record temperature for the year
was broken in Cincinnati, when mer-
curry reached 90 degrees. Columbus
reports one death and several pros
trations.
The deaths of two babies in Akron
brought the heat toll in that city up
to seven since Saturday evening. A
number of persons, including Ira A.
Priest, former pesident of Buchtel col.
lege, were prostrated. Mr.. Priests
condition is serious.
Robert Lawkson, "a, and Willard

and died at GAINESVILLE.
While Clyde HousfJn, a farmer, liv'
ing near Akron, was threshing, light
ming struck and killed him.
Thirteen head of valuable cattle be-
longing to D. L. Heffner, near Circle
vile, were killed by lightning during
a severe storm which swept the
greater part of Pickaway county.

THE VALUE OF IDEALS
TO FARMERS

Failures in farming are often trace
able to a lack of ideals" says II. Il. Es-
wine of the College of Agriculture, Ohio
State University. "The people who have
made a pronounced success" he -contin-
ued, have been the people who have
had a clear and definite notion of the
things they were trying to attain. For
example, the men who by their patience
in breeding and selecting have given us
the great breeds of live stock have had
the power of choosing an ideal and fol-
lowing,it
1T is not because there are no ideals
worth striving for on the farm that we
find so few following them. First of
all, every man ought to try to make his
home an ideal farm home. Many
may excel him. but what if they do, his

ing to make it measure up to some def
mite standard. Next, try to make your
farm the best possible for its size and
kind. Others may have larger farms,
more fertile farms, farms more desirable
naturally but these handicaps should
serve simply as an incentive to greater
action. To attain his ideal he must
make a careful study of all his problems.
He must find out what his land is natur-
ally adapted to- He must study the de-
mands of his markets. lie must study
his preferences. He ought to have
ideals as to the kinds of fruits and grains
and stock he is going to produce and of
the quantities as we'll. Average amounts
per acre ought not to satisfy. Excep- |
tional quality and quantity should be the
mark set. "

HORSE SCHOOL
is ANNOUNCED
Dayton Citizens Promote Unlqua
Assembly.
TO STUDY EQUINE PSYCHOLOGY

Students Of Jesse 5eery, the Man Who
Has Demonstrated Ability to Con-
quer Undesirable Traits In Vicious
Animals, viii Hold Reunion at Fair
Grounds In Gem City Aug. t2 to 1e.
Many Types to Be Exhibited.
School sessions that will be devoted
exclusively to the horse will consti.
tute the most unique meeting ever
held in Dayton, from Aug. ~ to l6.
The Chamber of Commerce and innu'
ential individuals are giving their sup
port to the project and indications
are that 10000 lovers of the horse will
gather in Dayton at that time.
Jesse Beery, a native and lifelong
resident of Pleasant Hill, o., will be
in charge of the sessions and will
serve in the capacity of chief demon
strator. Il will not be horse show
or display of trained animals, but a
convention devoted entirely to the
study of the traits and habits Of
horses, with methods for their correc.
tion.
Thirty years ago, Beery, then tan
ned lad of the farm, was driving
colt into the barn yard. He was oblig.
ed to stop at the entrance of a lane
leading to the stable to open the gate.
Before he had performed this task
fully, the vicious young animal darted
and sped briskly, dashing along the
waterway and breaking the buggy.
The incident caused the lad to think.
1t also laid the foundation of a for.
tune. 1t marked the beginning Of
movement that has taken on national
scope.
Without ostentation Beery, grown
to mature manhood, has personally

step toward justice, in the interest Of
social economy that, wisely applied, can
hardly fail TO produce beneficial results.
With the factories in the penitentiary
and reformatoIy employment for all
prisoners may ultimately be found. If
the convict retains those qualities and
ambitions which are the foundation for
rebuilding his career, he will gladly
avail himself of this new tie giving him
an active connection with the outside
world. II he seeks to disregard his OBJ
legations il will be wholesome that he
be compelled to carry them.
Society has long been familiar with
the plight of women and children left
with no provider when the husband and
father runs afoul of the law. On them
often falls the heavier penalty, Society
ought to be able to penalize the man
without wrecking the home and making
its helpless ones paupers. The new law
is an effort to solve the problem. The
purpose of the law is good and it ought
to be so carefully administered that the
best results are secured.

WISCONSIN FARMERS SOUND
JUDGMENT
kansas City (Mo.) Star. ]

/
That the farmers of Wisconsin are adj.
vocating the Singletax and pushing it as
the next big issue in Badger State poll
tics, was the statement made yesterday
by Professor John R. Commons of the
University ofWisconsin. "The personal
property tax already has been abolished
with us, " the Wisconsin economist said.
"The exemption of improvements on
land from taxation is the next logical
step in the reform of our taxation sys-
TEN. Last fall in one of the northern
counties of the State farmer named
Nordman entered the Democratic pri-
maries, running on a Singletax platform
for nomination to the lower house of the
Legislature. By postal card campaign
he told every voter in the district that if
elected he would devote his efforts toward
securing local option upon exempting
houses and barns and other improve
ments upon the land from taxation.
Nordman won the nomination and was
elected. On going to the capital he
called upon one of the university ex-
perts on taxation tor assistance. The
professor he visited, one of the leading
economists in the United States, helped
the farmer legislator to get his taxation

drafted. Later it was introduced and
was defeated by large majority. Only
a few of the members understood its
scope and provisions. Then Nordman
went to work talking in plain, straight
forward fashion with his farmer col

from freeing houses from taxation, just
as household goods were relieved from |

PRISONERS AND THEIR
DEPENDENTS

Ohio took an important step OIL August
/, when under a new law earnings of
state prisoners are to be paid for the
support of their families. With this act
will come the fixing ofa scale ofcompen-
sltion for men doing labor in the peni-
tentiary and reformatory.
This means that prisoners may no
longer shake off responsibility for their
dependents. 1t will correct in part,
the injustice visited on the wife and
children which has been one of the prin-
cjpal evils of the old penal code. Even
in the penitentiary the man must shoul-
der and carry some part of the burden
he has assumed.
The act provides he shall be given
employment, that his earnings above
the cost of his maintenance shall go to
the support of his dependents. It is a

THE RESULT OF GOOD
LEADERSHIP
! Cleveland Plain Dealer. ]

Cleveland Plain Dealer
Matters have already gone far enough
in the senate to indicate that the tariff
measure will be passed in the form given
it by the finance committee and the
caucus. Unless unforeseen conditions
are encountered that much may almost
be taken for granted
The Underwood bill is now being con-
sidered paragraph by paragraph and the
senate's final approval sat hand. Fears
that the narrow Democratic majority
would be unable to get the measure
through begin now to appear groundless.
It is far too early for anyone to claim
victory, Of course, but favorable signs
are plentiful.
For one thing, the divided minority is
showing much more responsiveness to
public opinion than either side seems to
have counted on. On item after item the
Democrats are receiving help either from
Republicans or Progressives. On scarce
ly a single roll call, if any, has the ma
jority tor the bill been reduced to the
mere Democratic strength.
Another good indication is that some
of the opponents of the Underwood
measure who had expected to deliver
long set" speeches against it have APP
parently changed their minds. They
will confne themselves to participation
in the running debate, throwing a little
spice into the performance occasionally |
and making copy for home consumption.
Had all these speeches been delivered
many days would have been wasted and |
not particle of new light thrown on
the issue.
This is what capable leadership has
done The path for the enactment of
the tariff bill was prepared with care,
every means taken to smooth away diff
cultes and every effort made to consult
diverse interests concerned, The result
promises to be law enacted i'll a manner
pleasing to its friends and surprising to
its opponents.
