on the workmen's compensation act
was adduced when the Republican
state press bureau came out in the OPP
en- with scathing attack on the com.
pensation law. An effort was made to
enlist the standpat G. o. p. press in II
statewide fight upon this humane law
by sending copies of the attack to Re
publican papers in every county of the
state, with the request that 1t be pub
lisbed in each.
The g. o. P.'s attack on the cOmpen-
sation act, which was made last week,
refers to the fact that three widows
we've awarded $3,744, S9,307.20 and
$2,45S.56 compensation for the death of
their husbands. To arouse hostility to
the act, this benevolent Republican
press bureau now espousing the cause
of the private liability insurance COM
panles, charges that the awards were
too low.
What the G. o. p. press bureau
wants is return to, the old conditions,
when private liability insurance paid
millions of dollars dividends on the
misery and tears of Ohio's injured and
the dependents of those killed In in
dustrial accidents.
Here is what the standpat G. o. p.
press bureau seems to prefer to the
present system of making awards:
Up In Ashtabula county, before the
compensation act was enacted, wi
dow's claim was fought through the
courts for 10 years and verdict was
rendered few days ago for $4,000, of
which she received half, or $1,45O I'm
der the compensation act that widow
would have received $4,000 at once,
without court fight and she would
! not have been forced to give an attor-
ney half. There are thousands Of peo-
pie in Ohio who can testify to condi-
tions before the compensation act.

That Once Was Fresh Is Now
In A Desert

San Bernardino, Cal, March 19-
What was once fresh water lake,
covering 200 square miles, has been
discovered by John B. Buwalka, James
M. Goewey scholar of the University
of California, in the heart OF the Mo
jaye desert, the Index announces.
John 4. Reed OF San Bernardino first
noticed vertebrate fossils there near
Manix, and H. s. Mourning of Los An.
geles called them to Mr.. Buwalda's at
tention, The old story of camels in
the great basin has justification at
last, for here cameIs were found, swal-
lowed up IN the shore sands of Man.
TX lake"
Since the fast Wild camel in the
United States is believed to have gone
before the glacial period set in, this
Mojaye desert lake may well have
dried up before the ice age. AS vast
stretch of time has elapsed since then,
the Salt Lake railway was able to
build across the lake bed without
knowing that Manix lake once was
here. This ancient lake was 20 to 40
miles east of what now is Barstow
stretching from Rouns to Alton, and
from near Hector and Troy on the San
Ia re northward for 25 miles. Many
changes in climate have evidently
come about in the Mojave desert since
the days when the wild horse, the an
telope and the mastodon frequented
Manix lake or left their bones ON its
shores, to be dug up by this Universe
ty of California expedition.
Nowadays the Mojave desert dries
up early in its course, or at best fills
only n tiny playa lake. But in the old
days the flow was ample to Offset eVap
orntlon over 200 miles of lake surface
TO supply the outlet stream, and to
keep the lake fresh as proved by the
fresh water mollusks and fish found
In the fossil beds, which are monu
ment to the perished lake. It was per
haps the thrusting up of the great bar
rier of the San Beuardino mountains
whose heights robbed the sea winds OF
their ocean moisture, which changed
the climate and deprived the Moiayc
region of tie rainfall that once made
the lake possible, AS the ages passed
the outlet river cut It's way downward
the lake level fell, the accommodating
sediments rose, and at last this an
Client ManiE lake, once lying where
now stretches the Mojave desert, was
as extinct as the camels and elephant,
that used to drink of its sweet waters

MURDER WILL OUT

II II now quite plain whose cause the
Ohio Equity Association was espous-
iBg last summer when II sought ref
erendum on the Warnes tax law. since
John ID. Rockefeller jumped oua Of the
bushes and when the Warnes law was
clamDed on him, and Dayton's lumber
millionaire, Peter Kuntz, made re-
turn Of $56O,OOO Of personal property
for taxation the FIRST time he was ev-
CIR on the tax duplicate.
Last summer the Ohio Equidy Asso-
citation told MS the fight for the
Warnes law referendum was in behalf
OF the farmers and small home owners
Much OF the feeling against the
Warnes law among tho farmers was
aroused by this literature which the
Ohio Equity Association disseminated
In the light OF what has happened 20
Rockefeller and Kuntz under the
waTnes law, the Ohio Equity Associa
tIon owes tho farmers an apology for
lying to them.

Strawberries GROWN
On A Home ACRE

are no Jumps, and it all crumbles into
fine particles. The ideal soil is clover
sod. If l had a plot of cultivated
ground where corn, potatoes, or some
crop grew well last year, and that was
fairly free from weeds, would plow
it early in the spring after applying
some manure, if needed.
/ believe in transplantihg as soon as
the soil is dry enough to work in the
spring. Take up handful of the sur
face soil and, if it crumbles apart, start
the plow. PulveTize the few inches of
surface soil very fine. l lift the plants
from the propagating-bed with spad-
ing fork and shake off part of the
soil, but leave on what clings to the
roots. l furrow the ground one way
two feet apart, then stretch garden
line across the burrows, so the plants
will be in check rows two feet each
way. | press a garden spade in the
soil and have boy insert the plant in
the opening, with the roots spread out
fan shaped, then draw out the spade
and let the soil fall around the roots,
with the stem of the plant even with
the surface of the ground. After set
ting row, l press the soil firmly
around them with my feet Two per-
sons can do this work more advantage
ously than one. Every plant lives, and
there is little check in growth. 1t is
better to mix up the varieties and SO
aid pollenization.
The cultivation should begin early
as soon as the plants are set If you
have a horse and cultivator, cultivate
quite deeply; if not, the next best
thing TO do is to use one of the hand
wheel-cultivators Cultivate after a
rain; if the weather is dry, cultivate
frequently, to keep an earth mulch
around the plants, which will sub-irri-
gate them by capillary attraction
With sharp hoe cut all the runners,
when hoeing the plants, except on
plot on one side of corner where you
wish propagating-bed, to grow plants
for another year.

HOPPE AND SUTTON AGAIN

New York, March 19--Willie Hoppe,
"the invincible," will defend his title
of 1871 balkline billiard champion in
a match to be played with George Sut-
ton at the Hotel Astor tomorrow night.
Only a few weeks ago the youthful
champion successfully defended the
1872 title against Sutton. His brilliant
performances on that occasion showed
Hoppe to be in such splendid form
that there appears to be little chance
now that the 1871 title will change
hands.

The points to work for in growing
the ideal dessert strawberry are quail
ty, size, productiveness, hardness and
color. The law that high quality is at
the expense of hardness generally
governs; so those who wish to grow
strawberries of the highest quality
must expect to find that their culture
is difficult. Any one can grow fair
crops of Strawberries of the Crescent
type who can graw good crop of po-
tatoes; but, with the same culture,
Strawberries of the Marshall type
might be failure The varieties of
high class fancy dessert strawberries
that l have grown or know about,
writes w. II. Jenkins in Suburban
Life, are William Belt, Marshall, Blu.
bach, President, Candy. These, when
fully ripened on the plants, are so
sweet that they require little or no
sugar They are large and attractive
in color, when rightly grown, and are
fairly productive and hardy.
When planning a new bed of straw
berries for home use, begin by learn
ing which are the best berries being
successfully grown in your own or a
similar locality, and when you have
settled upon the varieties wanted, if
you cannot get them from a neighbor,
order them from the nearest reliable
nursery, in lots of dozen or 80, and
set the plants in a propagating-bed
made in the garden where the soil is
mellow and fairly rich. My long ex-
perience has proved to me that time
will not be lost in so doing; for fresh
ly dug, strong plants which grow in
my own beds, if they are set rightly
when the leaft first starts in the
spring. will every one live and grow
almost without check.
in the propagating- bed l set the
rows of plants three feet apart and 1S
inches in the row. A bed a rod or two
square should furnish sufficient plants
for the family strawberry bed, with
some to spare for your neighbors, A
new propagating-bed should be made
every spring.
While growing the plants, prepare
the soil In which to set them the fol-
lowing spring. We are learning that 1t
is useless labor and a waste to apply
large quantities of stable manure to
the strawberry bed, il the soil is in
fair condition. The soil that will grow
large crop of corn is rich enough for
large dessert Strawberries The main
essentials are good drainage, plenty of
humus, and such good tllth that when
you take up handful of soil there
