We have not only survived, but we
have proven to the world from an
economic point of view that we could
support ourselves. There were not
few who predicted before our free
dom began that we would prove as
race perpetual burden on the
pocketbook of the nation, that we
would not clothe, feed or shelter our
selves.
Bring all the fifty years of the free
dom Of our race since the. days OF
reconstruction we have never called
as a race upon Congress to provide
for a single dollar to be used in pro
viding either food, clothing or shell
ter for our people. We have not
only done this, but we have acoum-
ulated something over $1,000 900
made so great progress in so short
a time. The Russian serfs were
emancipated in 1861. Fifty years af-
ter it was found that 100000 Of
them had accumulated about $780,
100000 worth of property or about
$36 per capita, an average OF $500
per family. Fifty years after
emancipation only about 80 per cent
of the Russian peasant were able to
read and write. After fifty years
of freedom the ten million Negroes
in the United States have accumu-
lated over $7O0,0OO,OOO of property,
or about $40 per capita, which is an
average Of $3.50 per family. After
fifty years Of freedom 10 per cent OF
them have some education in Books.

never again the mad rush for

bitter dust and blight.
Talcott had brought half a
dozen letters from the office. He
opened them in turn. Five were
of no consequence. The last one
startled him. It announced that

wagon. 1t had windows like a
house and was divided into three
living compartments. Seated on
the grass reading from school
books were three small boys.
Near by was a young lady of
about eighteen. She was sewing
and four little girls were copying
her industry.
'Mr. Gregory has left you two
horses and that wagon, with all

grimly. I'm addition, here is the

so kindly and peaceful a face. Her
simple story was soon told. Her
dead father, an eccentric, had
taken in charge, gradually, some
homeless orphans. For them and
herself he had worked, travelling
about the country in the wagon
and doing odd jobs as a tinker.
When the broker asked her as
to her plans for the future, she
only looked helplessly and pathet-
ically at him.
Warren Talcott did some think

Il formerly drank so much coffee
that my nervous system was almost a
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine, the drug
found in coffee.) "My physician told
me to quit drinking it but I had to
have something, so tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise l saw quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was year ago and now
my nerves are steady and don't have
those bilious sick headaches which I
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And l do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when get up morn

viii Enforce Law.

Notwithstanding the Franklin coun.
ty common pleas court has decided
that the new weights and measures
law is invalid, the state agricultural
commission will continue its cam
paign in favor of its enforcement in
all other parts of the state. The com
mission takes the position that the
ruling of the court only applies to
Franklin county, and it Is advising
local and county sealers Of weights
and measures to enforce the law, caus.
ing the arrest of all who do not COM
ply with it's provisions. Chief In
spector F. C. Albrecht, head of the
department which has charge Of the
enforcement of the law, in his instruc-
tions to the local and county sealers,
says: Continue to enforce the law as
in the past, and if you find any viola
tions file charge against the violators;
and if they plead not guilty, have the
cases postponed until after our de-
cision from the supreme court, to
which the Franklin county case will
be taken for a decision as to whether
the law is sound Immediately"

RN his Thanksgiving Day proclama-
tion, Just issued, Gov. Cox says
the people of Ohio have abundant
reason to be thankful, notwith-
standing the blows they have received
from the elements during the year.
The text of the proclamation follows:
THE years activities, so far as ma
ture is concerned, are about over.
The crops have been made and har-
vested. We have passed safely and
prosperously through the spring and
summer, and the fall is full upon us.
The winters business stares us In the
face.
ut is therefore we'll that, In con-
formity with the custom of our fore
fathers, We set aside day Of thanks
giving-that We cease our labors for
the day and give thanks to God for
the blessings that have been showered
upon the earth.
ut is true that disasters have fallen
about us at times. The storms and
foods devastated many homes and
claimed their victims by the hundreds.
Our means of transportation and CON-
munication were interrupted. Clouds
of sorrow hung low about the state
and grief was everywhere. But the
sun returned to the heavens and hope
was enthroned in the hearts of men
ard women. The great state of Ohio
Immediately took her accustomed
place in the list of American common
wealths, and factory and farm again
responded to the touch of intelligent
hands.

withstanding the blows we have re-
ceived, to gather at our homes and in
our places of worship and to offer up
our thanks to the Divinity that so
guided the world as to relieve us Of
our distress.
"As chief executive Of the state of
Ohio, do, therefore, proclaim Thurs
day, Nov. 27, 1913, as a day Of
thanksgiving, and call upon all citi-
zens of the state to observe it as
such"

Spraying Is done for the purpose
OF preventing injury to the fruit. foil
age and wood of trees and other
plants caused by disease and insects.
Diseases of plants may be caused by
the growth in the tissues Of bacteria
or fungi. Bacteria usually grow be-
meath the surface and can not be COM
bated by means of spraying. Some
fungi grow upon the surface. sending
feeding organs down into the tissue
from which they secure nourishment
from the plant sap. These fungi are
reproduced by means of spores which
are carried in the air until they set
tie upon leaf, fruit or wood, where
they germinate and grow. becoming
the injurious fungous tissue. II the
leaves or fruit are covered with q
substance which is poisonous to the
fungus the spores will be killed at
the time they germinate. Substances
that thus prevent the growth of germ
mating spores are called fungicides.
AS rule these fungicides must be ap-
piled in summer when the fruit or
foliage is likely to be infected. How
aver, in the case of very few dis
eases like peach leaf curl, spraying in
early spring before growth starts Is
successful.
The two most important fungicides
isprays to prevent fungous diseases)
for summer spraying are Bordeau mix
Lure and lime-sulphur.
We have two classes of insecticides
(sprays to kill insects). For insects
that eat from the surface of the plant
a poison on the leaves or fruit will
kill the insect. Usually the spray
used in this case Is some compound
containing arsenic The most impor-
tant insecticide is arsenate of lead.
There are also insecticides used to
kill insects that do not eat from the
surface, but penetrate the surface with
their beaks and suck the juices from
beneath. It is plain that such an In
sect could not eat any poison placed
upon the leaves, but must be de-
stroyed by a spray that kills by com,
ing in contact with its body. SO in

Workmen,s COMPENSATION.

The average death or injury claim
under the new state industrial com
mission is now completely settled
within less than calendar month,
according to the report of the work
mems compensation department since
that department came within the
commissions jurisdiction a few
months ago. During the period since
last summer and now more than $4,000
claims have been filed and awards
have been made in more than 10000
1t is shown by the figures given that
death or injury claims made by the
workman or his family was settled
on the average within % days after
the accident occurred. There was in
no case any court procedure, and at
torneys' fees that formerly under pri'
vate insurance ate up much of the
damage claims after years Of litiga-
tion, were few and far between. Many
other interesting facts are shown in
the commissions first report of the
workmen's compensation insurance.

Gets Threat Letters.

Because Of his activity in rounding
up speakeasy proprietors in Warren
for the liquor tax, Carl Meta, an
Italian of Bucyrus, formerly in the
employ of the state as liquor tax
deputy, has been threatened in two
blackhand letters he has received
Meta brought the letters to the state
house Tuesday and showed them to
the officials. The letters were signed
"R. N" and came from Youngstown.
In the first letter demand was
made for $500, and with it was the
threat that il the money was not paid
that the writer would seek vengeance.
In the second letter Meta was told
that if he did not come across with
the money that his life would be
taken. The evidence by which the
Illicit sellers of liquor were caught
was obtained by Meta and confed-
crate. Meta passed himself off as an
,itinerant street musician. He blew a
whistle while his confederate passed
around the hat for pennies. They
had no trouble in getting admitted to
the places where the liquor was sold
contrary to law.
