TO HONOR
The Memory Of Simon Ken
ton In Logan County

Bellefontaine, o., July 18--Leading
citizens of Logan county are about
TO make another effort to have the
State set aside piece of land in the
eastern part of this county for State
park in honor of the memory of Simon
Kenton, the famous pioneer Though
Kentons name is linked largely with
the early history of Kentucky, It was
in this vicinity that he spent his last
days and was buried.
Among the daring pioneers who
blazed the way for the settlement Of
the great West in the early days of
American history no one was more
picturesque than Simon Kenton. With
Boone and Crockett he contributed
more to the marvellous growth of this
section of the country and received
slighter personal benefits than any of
those who came later. His life was
filled with adventure. AS a youth he
was employed as spy against the
Indians by Lord Dunmore, then Brit
ish governor of the province of Vir-
ginia. Later he Joined the expedition
of Gen. George r. Clark and partici-
pated in the surprise and victory at
Kaskaskia. He led a party to resist
the progress of the British and Indian
campaign in Kentucky. He took part
in Mad Anthony" Wayne's campaign
was made brigadier-general of Ohio
militia in 1906 and wound up his ac-
tive military career by participating
in the battle of the Thames in 1913.
In the declining years Simon Ken
ton became an object of charity. The
lands he thought he had acquired by
right of discovery had been appropri-
ated by others and when almost eighty
years of age the celebrated pioneer,
in tattered garb appeared before the
legislature of Kentucky to make a last
appeal for justice. He was q conspi-
cuous figure in his raiment of skins
and rags and the younger generation
thought to make merry at his expense.
But he was recognized by old Gen.
Fletcher, who led him forward and
placed him in the Speakers chair.
The eulogistic introduction given the
old hero resulted in restoration of a
part of his lands and the granting to
him of pension for life.

CAUCUS PROBABLE
ON The JONES CASE
Chicago Man Urged TO Answer
the Majority Report

Washington, July 18. - Democrats
OF the senate banking and currency
committee who favor confirmation OF
Thomas d. Jones of Chicago as a
member of the federal reserve board
have telegraphed Mr.. Jones, urging
him to answer the report of the ma
Jority of the committee, which op-
posed his confirmation on the ground
that he is director of the Interne
tinal Harvester company, which is un.
der indictment for violation of the
Sherman act.
Administration senators continued
their efforts to change the minds of
some of their colleagues who have ex.
pressed opposition to Mr.. Jones. 1t
was reported that their efforts thus
far had not met with much success.
There was considerable informal talk
among senators of the adyisability of
Democratic caucus on the Jones
case, inasmuch as the president earn
estiy desires his. confirmation.

STAYING AT Home
IN THE SUMMER Time

summer counts the experience a great
help in her training as housewife be-
cause she had chance to perfect her
self in the preparation and serving of
hot weather meals. With the aid of
recipes in newspapers, magazines and
her own cook books, she worked out
summer menus calling for the smallest
labor consistent with giving her fami-
ly appetiZing and sufficiently nourish-
ing dishes. 1t was a pleasant surprise
to her to find out how much saving re-
suited. OF course, she served some
hot viands each day, but the cold dish
es that her family relished increased
in number as the season advanced.
She soon came to the conclusion that
people are apt to eat too much heavy
food in summer, anyway. So she tried
to make her menus seasonable. She
found, for example, that a fairly sub
stantial salad, served cold, at the main
meal, was enjoyed much more, as a
rule, than hot meat. She would serve
the cooked cereal food, and she plan
ned, whenever it was possible, to
have plenty fruit A little garnish
of green added daintiness to many a
dish.

OHIO
To Erect Monument On Chick.
amaugd Battlefield

Chattanooga Tenn, July 1S-The
new monument to be erected soon By
the state of Ohio on Chickamauga bat.
tlefield here, will make a total of 81
monuments honoring Buckeye troops
which took part In the Chattanooga
campaign. There are also 1913 Ohio
markers in the Chattanooga district
and, taking monuments and markers
into the court, Ohio leads far and away
all other states in the number of mem
orials here. Ohio's total will be 1S9
Her neighboring states, Illinois with
107 and Indiana with ia, are the on
ly ones that come anywhere near
equalling Ohio.
OF Ohio's 189, there are 50 monu-
ments and SO markers on Chickamau-
ga field alone. Indiana with 80 and
Illinois with 81 rank next in the list
of states that have helped to make
Chickamauga the best marked battle
field in the world by erecting perma-
nent memorials to the valor of tehir
sons.
The Ohio legislature at its last ses-
sion appropriated $500 for a monu-
ment to the 9th Ohio Volunteer In
fantry, which was the first infantry
to arrive at Chattanooga, on the morn
ing of Sept. 9, before the battle of
| Chickamauga. The monument will be
in what is known as the Bragg res
ervation, on Missionary Ridge. This
tract was bought by the government,
as part of the 1000 acres of historical
holdings in this vicinity, because Gen.
Bragg had headquarters there.
The memorials on the tract now in
clude steel observation tower and
the beautiful Illinois monument, close
by. The tract is divided by the Crest
Road and touched by the scenic troll
ley line, thousands of tourists u.s.
ing these means annually to visit one
of the most beautiful and interesting
spots about Chattanooga. The tower
| commands fine view, to the west, of
valley, city, Lookout Mountain, wind
ing Tennessee river, Fort Wood, Cam
eron Hill, ETC., every bit of the view
being intimately connected with the
civil war history of this city; and to
the east, overlooking Chickamauga
field and Fort Oglethorpe.
In addition to the new Ohio monu-
ment, there is to be new one erected
as result of a $4,000 bequest by the
late Col. R. B. Snowden, of Memphis,
| for monument of Gen. Bushrod John
sons old brigade. The location for
| this has not been decided.
When the two new monuments are
installed, there will be total of zoos
memorials on Chattoonga fields.

THE CONDITION OF CROPS
IN STATE OF OHIO

The following is the official report of
the agricultural commission of Ohio.
on the condition Of crops and live
stock, July:
The following report is compiled
from returns received from the official
correspondents of this department:
Wheat-Prospect compared with
normal yield-102 per cent.
Wheat-Damaged by joint worm
per cent.
Barley-Prospect compared with
normal yield-90 per cent.
Rye-Prospect compared with nor.
NAL yield-95 per cent.
oats-Prospect compared with nor
NAL yield-74 per cent.
Corn-Area in 1913--2,98S,115 acres.
Corn-Area compared with last year
go per cent.
Corn-Total estimated area for 1914
-2,901.O7O acres.
Corn-Condition compared with an
ayerage-89 per cent.
Corn-Damaged by cut worm 9
per cent.
Corn-Damaged by grub worm-9
per cent.
Clover-Damaged by white grub
worm-4 per cent.
Potatoes-Area in 1913 - 1O3,3O2
acres.
Potatoes-Area compared with last
year-95 per cent.
Potatoes-Estimated area for 1914
97,772 acres.
Potatoes-Condition compared with
an average-77 per cent.
Tobacco-Area compared with last
year-7S per cent.
Timothy-Prespect compared with
normal yield-71 per cent.
Pastures compared with
an average-S0 per cent.
Horses-Condition compared with
an average--96 per cent.

ayerage-93 per cent.
Cattle-Condition compared with an
average-96 per cent.
Calves-Number compared with an
average-96 per cent
Wool-Clip compared with last year
SO per cent.
Wheat prospects show no material
difference from that reported one
month ago. The state average is now
estimated at 102 per cent, or about
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-07-21

10 1-3 bushels per acre. Damage by
joint worm is estimated at per cent.
One year ago. to date the prospect was
estimated at "a per cent. The harvest
produced less than 2S,00O,O00 bushels.
The present acreage is less than that
harvest in 1912. The total produc-
tion should equal, but it is doubtful,
whether it will exceed, the production
of last year.
A crop report, other than that is
sued by this department, estimates
Ohio's 1914 wheat production at 4o,-
100000 bushels. From this same
source last year the report was circu-
lated that the wheat crop had suffered
untold damage by ravages of Joint
worm. The harvest proved that this
was false alarm. The Ohio report Is
compiled from reports received from
more than 1000 observing, intelligent
farmers of the Buckeye State. Past
years proved its accuracy. 1t remains
for the harvest to verify our present
prediction as to the production. Farm
ers should beware of any efforts to de-
press the price of wheat.
Barley prospect is estimated at 90
per cent compared with normal yield.
Rye shows prospect of 95 per cent
compared with normal yield.
Oats have declined per cent during
the past month. The present pros
pect is estimated at IA per cent. The
poorest prospect is reported from
counties comprising the southwest Sec
ton of the state. There the average
prospect is but 81 per cent. This is
due principally to the extreme drouth
prevailing in that section.
The area planted to corn compared
with last years is estimated at 96 per
cent. Condition of crop is estimated at
80 per cent compared with an average.
On the corresponding date one year
ago, corn condition was estimated at
80 per cent Damage by cut worm is
estimated at per cent. Generally,
over the state its growing condition Is
quite satisfactory, but rain is now
needed badly.
The area planted to potatoes is es-
timated at 95 per cent compared with
1913 acreage. Condition is estimated
at n per cent.
