A Lima dispatch 20 the Cincinnati En-

paragraphs on the Senatorial situation in
this district as seen from that point:
The wet-dry issue will play a dominant
part in both the state and senatorial CAM
paigns in the Thirty second and Thirty.
third Districts, embracing all the extreme
Northwestern Ohio counties
In the Thirty second the race has mar
rowed down to former Representative
William Behne, of Williams carrying
the dry's Endorsement, and former Rep
resentative r R. Kennedy, of Allen, re-
puted to be a liberal, though holding
down the job of basso in a Methodist
choir in his home town OF Spencerville.
Behne, because the other two contest
ants, Judge S. S. Scranton, of Mercer,
and A. A. Huber, of Defiance, are reput-
ed also to be liberals, is looked upon as
first choice in the upper House classic.
Friends Of Kennedy, however, urge that
Judge Scranton was defeated in Mercer
by Fox for delegate to the Constitutional
Convention because Scranton was then
known as a dry, and Fox did run on an
open liberal platform, backed by the

MONEY WASTED
ON FERTILIZERS

"A great deal of the money spent for
commercial fertilizers every year is vast
ed, said A. G.. Mccall of the College
of Agriculture before a crowd Of farmers
recently. Commercial fertilizers are a
good thing, he continued, but the
trouble is that the farmer either does not
get the right kind of fertilizer for his
land or does not get the worth of his
money. Many farmers buy nitrogen
when they would better raise It in the
form of clover. Others purchase a so
called complete fertilizer, paying much
more per pound for the plant food than
il the three ingredients were purchased
separately and mixed at home ~ A
great many many farmers will be buying
fertilizer and applying il on their wheat
ground. In order to help these men get
the best results from the money they
spent for fertilizer the College of Agri-
culture has arranged TO send specialists
to number of different communities
during August and September TO give ad-
vice in purchasing fertilizers, and TO
demonstrate home-miXing In order TO
secure this assistance, which is free, sim
ply write to Clark S. Wheeler, College
of Agriculture, Columbus, and mention

LAND MONOPOLY IN THE
UNITED STATES

In the May-June number of the Single
Tax Review, published in New York
City, w. b. Nothrop shows that the rail
roads of the United States own no less
than 200, 600, 900 acres or 3l2 500 square
miles. That is about equal 10 the area
OF the New England States, New York,
New Jersey. Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina combined. II Is some
what less than half the area Of Mexico.
One out of every eleven and half square
miles in the Continental United States
belongs to the railroads.
But there are other land monopolists
than the railoads. One half the State of
Florida is owned by 1872 men whose com
bined holdings amount 10, $50, 600 acres.
Two men, Miller and Lux, own an estate
in California of IL, 500, 900 acres. The
Weyerhauser estate owns SIS 900 acres
in two states. The estate of the late
Lord William Scully owns 200, 900
acres in Illinois. The Steel Trust owns
or controls thousands OF acres OF ore and
mineral lands and so on.
II the federal government were to conf
pile list of all large land holdings in
the United States, II would make some
of the big holdings in Mexico look small
in comparison,
In addition there are holdings in all
the large cities which, measured in acres
look small as compared with big agricul-
tural and mineral holdings. But meas
ured in value they are much larger.
There is the same need of checking
land monopoly in the United States as
there is in Mexico.

The tenth session of the Celina Chau-
tauqua on the banks of the Grand Reser-
voir-known as Lake Mercer-is announ-
ced with the utmost confidence in the
well balanced and finest program ever
offered by this company or any other
Chautauqua association of Ohio or the
West The selections of the manage
ment for the 1914 program must appeal
to public favor and will surely result in
bringing together the largest number OF
people ever assembled at Mercelina Park
Each succeeding yearly meeting has
steadily enlarged the constituency of this
most wholesome enterprise. repaying in
part the unsparing efforts of the manage
ment to make the Celina Chautauqua an
annual meeting of the people which will
enlist the personal interest and approval
of every patron.
Keeping step with modern tendency of
thought and esthetic taste, the manage
ment considers no talent too advanced
or high-priced for its patrons, and from
beginning toEend the 1914 program is
notable for its presentation of popular
and efficient artists in their various and
respective characters. The Celina Chau-
tauqua sends forth its invitation for pub
lie support and favor with the fervent
conviction that no attendant will be dis
appointed; and besides this expresses
the belief that Home Coming Day will
be a red letter day in pleasure and num-
Der of people on the ground. Aprogram
will be furnised and mailed to any ad-
dress on request. JOHN f. HAMBUR
GER, Secretary, Celina, Ohio.

PRIMARY BALLOT WILL
BEAR M'KEAN'S NAME
Court Clerk Case TO Be Heard
Next Fall.

Columbus, July 15.-The name Of
Frank e. Mexican of Cleveland as can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for clerk of the supreme court will be
placed on the Democratic primary bal,
lot. On the Republican, Progressive
and Socialist primary ballots space
will be provided, by order Of Secre-
tary of State Charles H. Graves, in
which the voters of these parties may
write names Of candidates for clerk
of the supreme court and thus nOmi-
nate candidates for this office.
There were no entries for this nom
ination by any candidate of any party
except by Mr.. Mexican, who now holds
this place by election thereto two
years ago, and the only method of
filling this place on the tickets of
other parties than the Democratic
party is by writing in names.
The suit to mandamus the secretary
of state to place McKean's name on
the ballot will be heard on the con
vening of the supreme court this fall
and in ample time to determine before
the ballots are to be printed for the
November election whether this office
is to be filled by election this fall.
There are two points in the case;
first, whether the law making this Of
fee appointive is valid; second, if the
law is unconstitutional and the clerk
ship is determined to be an elective
position, whether one is to be elected
this fall, when the constitution seems
to provide that a clerk is to be elected
once in three years, whereas Mexican
was elected two years ago for two
year term under repealed statute.
