and the Navy.

"The people of New York
have just cause for pride in
the fleet now assembled in
their harbor. Not only IS it
composed OF the finest and
most efficient warships that
we have ever had, but is not
excelled, except in size, by
the leet of any nation in the
the world. our officers are
as good as any, and our en-
listed men are superior in
training, education, physical
development and devotion to
duty to those Of any other
navy ! can say with abso-
lutte confidence that the efici-
ency Of the'fleet has steadily
progressed and never has been
SO high as it is today. How
ever, we need more ships, more
officers and more men, and
should continue the wise poll
cy of increasing the size Of our
navy, which must remain our
first and best line of defense.
This defense, unless adequate,
is ilnpotent, and adequacy is
not reached until the navy is
strong enough to meet on
equal terms the navy of the
strongest possible adversary"

PEACE PIPE AT COLUMBUS

The original Grand Calumet, or
Peace Pipe, SIN ked at thesigning Of
the treaty Of Greenville, is one of the
valuable relics which has just been
received and placed on exhibition by
the Archaeological Museum on the
campus of the Ohio State University.
With the pipe was received fac-sim-
lie of the treaty itself, with its pc
culiar marks and signatures Of fa-
mousl Americans. ... ..-, +, ,,.,,,e,,. Z, =.
"The Grand Calumet was presented
to the Museum by Alva Kendall
Overturf, graduate Of the Ohio State
University with the class of 1904"
said DR.. William C. Mills, Curator
of the Museum. "It was this pipe
that Mad Anthony and the 80 chiefs
from the various tribes of Ohio and
Indiana smoked together at the sign
ing Of the treaty of Fort Greenville,
August 8, 1906" l.,.s
The relic is an elaborate example
of the ancient Indian art of carving.
1t is AZ inches long and weighs nearly
five pounds. The bowl resembles an
inverted letter T, the horizontal part
of the inverted letter representing
the base of the pipe, and the vertical
stem of the letter the bowl or basin
proper. This part of the pipe is
carved from red pipestOne and is
inlaid with silver.
Many curious designs represent the
signatures of the Indian chiefs to the
tn eaty. Following their marks are
the signatures of Mad Anthony
Wayne and William Henry Harrison.
Last of all is fixed the Great Seal of
the United States and the signature
of President George Washington.

JOHNNY REMEMBERED

Johnny Appleseed, historic charac-
ter Of pioneer days, who went about
over Ohio planting apple trees, will
have monument erected in his homer
If the plans of the horticultural So
ciety Of the Ohio State University
prove successful. At a recent meet
ing this organization voted to solicit
donations from leading horticultural.
lists Of the state for this purpose.
For years there has been talk OF
erecttng a monument to this we'll
known character, but heretofore nc
body has actively pushed the cam
paign for subscriptions. The Ohio
State Society proposes to rush the
matter through, however, and has
already started thecollection of the
necessary money. q
The body of Johnny Appleseed al
present lies in an unmarked grave
near Indianapolis. The students who
are interested in apple culture, deem
it a shame that this man who did al
in his power to make Ohio a leading
state in the raising of apples, shoulC
be unremembered.

BUTTER KEEPS THIRTY YEARS

The following shows the impor-
tance Of solid, even temperature for
the preservation Of butter, according
to the Breeders Gazette. At the old
Red Tavern at Towanda, Pa, then
kept by William Menas, a frkin Of
butter containing 100 pounds; tightly
headed, was lowered into a deep well,
to be kept cool until wanted for use.
In lowering it the rope broke and the
butter went 20 the bottom Of the well,
which was half full Of water. After
spending considerable time graphing
for it, and knowing that to pump all
the water out and go down for its re-
covery would be a hard, disagreeable
job, the proprietor concluded to leave
it where il, was until more conven-
lent season. Butter was cheap (only
121a cents a pound) and in case it
was never recovered the loss would
not be great.
Thirty years afterward the well
had to be cleaned for sanitary pur-
poses. 1t was pumped dry, and the
firl1in OF butter was found imbedded
in the mud at the bottom of the we'll
On opening the fiikin the butter was
found to be as sweet and well flav-
ored in every respect as when it was
lost. In the meantime butter had in.
creased in price to 25c a pound.

CARELESS PURCHASING

Careless purchasing Of supplies cost
Ohio $4,000 a year, says State Audi
tor Donahey, who advocates the es-
tablishment of a state purchasing de-
partment with business methods.
Donahey points out that during the
last fiscal year supplies costing $4,-
$4,000 were bought on which there
were taken discounts amounting to
only $9,34O.29. There are only two
equipped purchasing departments in
the state, SO he claims, one at Ohio
State university, the other at the
board Of administration. The dis
counts on supplies secured by these
two department. amounted to $S,75O.-
". Twenty other departments Sc
cured discounts amounting to $685.
81, while forty-nine other depart
ments secured discounts amounting
to practically nothing on purchases
of supplies during the year.

GRADING OF GRAIN

How the grain markets of the coun-
try handle and grade the farmers
products is being studied at the Ohio
State University this year. The stu
dents taking the course are seniors in
the department Of agriculture.
The students are given lectures on
market distribution and study the field
crops of the world. In the labora-
tory they study the grading of grain,
testing it as to weight, color, percent
age Of moisture, quality, soundness
and kind. Samples Of ear corn and
grain are received from farmers in
Franklin county and from grain ex-
changes in the primary market.

Local M. D. Uses
Twilight Sleep

Much interest has been aroused
over. the recent treatment employed
in child birth, known as Twilight Sleep
It has been used but a very few times
in this county-and only one case has
been directed to our attention. In
the larger community centers it has
been and. is being employed to a rap
idly increasing degree and from re-
ports is destined to revolutionize
almost the practice of obstetrics.
Following is description of the
treatment given the Sentinel by a
well-known local physician, the only
one in the county known to have used
it, and which will afford our readers
definite idea Of this great and. new
discovery:
"The patient is drowsy and sleeps
lightly between her pains. When a
pain OCCURS, she manifests her siffer-
ing TO a greater or less degree, and
again doses. But consciousness is not
entirely lost. She responds somewhat
tardily to questions, and usually
obeys commands,
"The patient perceives pain but
does not apperceive it; in other
words, she does not appreciate it. al
any rate, on awakening she has nc
recollection Of anything that has oc-
Cured. The patient may complain
that the treatment is not working and
roundly abuse those in charge, YET
half an hour after the birth have
absolutely no recollection Of hel
pains or Of the coming Of her baby

companied by warrant for the ar
rest Of a young man, whose real name

formation Of
Western Reserve

When Connecticut ceded to the gem
eral government her claim TO terri
tory Of indefinite extension to the
west, she reserved" tract bounded
BY Lake Erie, the western boundry of
Pennsylvania, the forty-frst parallel
FOf north latitude, a north-and-south
line parallel to the Pennsylvania
boundry line and 12O miles west Of it.
~. This tract the state found to be
property Of questionably value. Con
sidering the means of transportation
Of that time it was much further from
Connecticut than it is today. It was
inhabited by savages who claimed an
earlier title. There were many
grounds for questioning the title Of
Connecticut to the land. Hence it
was not found an easy matter to sell
the land, says the Columbus Dispatch.
W After being on the market for some
time, it was finally sold to the Con-
hecticut Land Co., composed of fifty
eight persons, for $1,2OO,000 for which
sthey gave their bonds, secured by
mortgage on the land. It was esti-
mated at the time that the tract con-
stained 100000 acres, SO that the sale
was at the rate of about thirty cents
san acre. It proved, when surveys
were made that it contained only
sAbeut 100000 acres, SO that the
kprice was little more than that.
\ It viii be noted that the Reserve,
rs was thus established, cannot be
bounded exactly by county lines, for
while all Of the counties Of Ashtabula,
Trumbull, Portage, Geauga, Lake and
Cuyahoga lie within II, only parts Of

BOND ISSUE FOR SCHOOLS

The proposed issue of bonds for
$4,000 for the erection of two new
ward school building there, will prob
ably meet with the approval of Wads-
worth people at the election on Tues
day, January 5.
W. G. Bowman, president of the
board of education, said Saturday:
"The board in making the proposition
is working with the best interests of
the town in view and the people of
the town will undoubtedly endorse its
plans"
Sites for the two buildings are be-
ing considered. The one on the
south side will be north of the Erie
depot. The north side site will be
north of Boyer street and probobly
east of High street, though no definite
location has been picked.
The building will be constructed SC
as to allow for additions in the flu
ture, being four-room structures, al
built so as to be easily converted into
eight-room buildings.
Should the measure pass, different
grades will be divided into three di.
visions with reference to residence
in the north, south or central part o1
town. This will accommodate al
people easily.
