He has issued an order de-
manding the arrest of all dealers
who sell cubebs to minors under Is
years. The question as to whether
they could be sold to minors was
raised by Prosecuting Attorney J. B.
Templeton of Fulton county. These
cigarets are sold as a substitute for
the other kind, which is specifically
prohibited by law, and boys who use
them acquire the habit for the latter"
the attorney general told the prose
cutor. Under the ruling those who sell
the cubebs to boys may be heavily
fined.
Mothers Invade State.
Ohio again faces an invasion Of
the gypsy moth, dreaded foe of
the tree. The discovery has been
made that this pest was brought
into the state on shipments of
granite stone from the infested part
of Massachusetts,, which has been
spending million dollars year to
rid itself of this destructive insect.
The stone was for large estates of
wealthy Clevelanders who reside at
Bratenahl suburb of that city, on
which there is much forestry, and, un-
fortunately, the fact that it was in
tested was not found out until after it
had been delivered. State Nursery
and Orchard Inspector N Z. Shaw and
his deputies have visited the locality
in WI oh hn Aal nd
started to try to eradicate the moth.
This is the second appearance of the
pest in the state. The first time it also
appeared at Bratenahl, having been
brought in on shrubbery shipped from
New England Entire forests have
been destroyed in New England by
this pest 1t is now believed to be
under control there, and it is expected
that within a few years it will be COM
pletely eradicated.
Will Get Additional Saloons.
When the state liquor license board
revises the license list in November
for the new year, cities which show
increases in population will be allowed
additional saloons. Columbus will get
eight more saloons, based on the eSti-
mate of the census department at
Washington of an increase of 1000 in
population. One saloon Is allowed for
each 500 inhabitants. The increase in
the number of saloons in the whole
state caused by increased population
will be in the neighborhood of 200.
