The Democratic plum tree has been
given another shake. Congressman
T. T. Ansberry of Defiance has just an
nounced that his secretary, Frank
Miller, would be appointed postmaster
at Defiance, and that Mirl A. Collier,
chief clerk in the state banking de-
partment, would be appointed to fill
the vacancy. State Bank Superintend

Columbus gardeners have started to
have experimentation in market gar
dening carried on at the state expert
ment station at Wooster on a much
larger scale. They are pointing out
that the value of market garden prod
ucts is three times as great as those
Of orchards. Complaint has been
made to the state agricultural COM
mission that much more is expended
for orchards than for market gardens.
A promise has been given by
the commission that with the es-
tablishment of the proposed bureau
for markets market gardening will
be given an impetus.
To Be Given More Power.
There is to be legislation to give
the state liquor license commission
more power in ferreting out and sup
pressing speakeasies. Inspectors of
the commission are to be clothed with
authority to make search of any
premises where it is suspected liquor
may be kept in violation of law. A
message requesting the enactment Of
law giving such authority will be
sent to the legislature by the gov
ernor.

For Eastern Standard Time.
Eastern standard time for all Ohio
is proposed by Cleveland in request
made to Gov. Cox for law to provide
for this. This would advance the
present time one hour and would pro-

made for the whole state, the request
is made that it be provided for the
city in the hope that later other cities
will adopt this kind of time.
Designate Main Market Road.
Acquiescing in the wishes of Colum-
biana, Stark and Mahoning counties,
Gov. Cox and State Highway Commits
sioner Marker have designated as
main market road the road between
East Palestine, Columbiana county,
and Alliance, Stark county, and as
result of this the state will bear one
half of the cost of it's improvement.
This road is to be part of the Lin
coin highway, and its completion will
establish a first class entrance into
Ohio from Pennsylvania through Pitts
burgh. 1t will connect with the i'm
proved road going through Canton
from Alliance.
No Gambling or Booze.
Gambling, cane ring games and the
sale of booze must be tabooed at all

the future will not receive the per
capita tax, which runs as high as
$500, and is paid by the state

follows the precedent set by the sen.
ate.
