Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1915-10-29

Ohio is Republican state and the
Republicans are fairly entitled to a
majority Of the members in congress
from the State. Under the admin
stration of Governor Cox, the Demo-
cratic Legislature so redistrcted the
state as to secure a large majority
for themselves. Last Winter the Re-
publican Legislature redistricted the
State so as to secure better pro-
portion Of representatives in Con-
gress. The Democratic Organization
Of Ohio has caused referendum to
be taken on the Congressional Re-
districting law known as the Sprague
Bill, to the exclusion of all other acts
passed by the late General Assembly
thus making the issue purely partisan
in character. II you are Republican
and believe in Protective Tariff and
Republican policies, turn out on cleo
ton day and vote for the The Spragus
Act, House Bill No. ITO.

r1ore Big Powder Orders

The duPonts do not make public their
business but it has leaked out that the
Company has received a $50, 600, 600 COR
tract Tor smokeless powder from the Rus
sian government. 1t is a hurry contract
and a bonus is provided for completing it
within a certain time. In case especially
good time is made there is a bonus OF SO
l-3 per cent, which would mean that the
company would make 500, DOC, 900 profit
in addition to the regular profit OH the
90, DOC, 900 pounds of powder at one dollar
a pound.
1t is admitted that the reason that the
Russian army has been retreating before
the Germans and Austrians is because OF
a lack OF ammunition, and therefore the
government is willing to pay All extra
price in order to get a quick supply.
Powder officials are not talking aboutthe
matter, as they do not discuss contracts
for the Allies or for anyone also engaged
in war, but Russian military officials have
been in Wilmington recently and have
talked over the matter.
1t is probable that the big contract will
he divided between the different mills
owned by the company in various places.
The capacity of the Carney Point plant is
about half a million pounds OF powder
a day. But the Carney Point plant is
already working full time OIL contracts in
hand.
Plant No. 2 began operation about three
weeks ago, on line No. /. Some of build
ing on line 2, Plant No. 2 are in operation
now and all will be soon.
Six months ago when plant No. 2 was
started it was expected that it would only
be needed to fill big rush orders and would
be considered junk after the European
War ended, but such large orders have
been received since then that Plant No. 3
is now under construction. 1t will be
about three-fourths as large as
that of Plant No. 2 with boilers
and power house, and cost about ST., 900,
900.
1t begins to appear that the dupont en-
lergement will not only be q boom to-
last until the war is ended, but will be
needed to manufacture powder for years
after. Countries at wal will moi deal as
cordially with each other as formerly,
but will deal with American manufact-
ers. The Developments to be made in
South America will also create a big de-
mand Tor powder.

Produce and Prices

The prices of produce is low. Last
week III Wilmington market tomatoes
sold for from $l.50 to 81 a basket. The
price opened OH Tuesday at 80 cents and
dropped to rs cents. Cabbage is from 20
25 cents a basket; squashes, 20-30, onions
35-45; apples 1910, white potatoes 35-4Oc.
These prices are what produce usually
brings later i'll the season. The abun-
dant crops of fine quality in the South
causes the low prices, also the poor meth
Of distribution.
The shipment OF tomatoes in crates be-
gan last week at $l.4O for a 2O-qnart crate,
equal to a basket, s bushel.
There is a glut Of tomatoes in Whining
ton this Friday morning and some have
been hauled back to Penns Grove where
there is a good demand at ST .l5 a crate.
M. Mitchell will not be able to fill his
order.
The Mississippi tomatoes are about
done. Those from Texas are of poor
quality, consequently South Jersey will
have to supply the demand next week,
and the prospect is for higher price, be-
cause the crop is light because Of frequent
rains.

"MADE Way FOR LIBERTY"
July Fourth A Greater Day Than
Sunday

Joshua in chapter 10, verse IA says
And there was no day like that befor,
IL or alter, that the Lord hearkened into
the voice of a man; fer the Lord fought
for Israel"
mat day was when Joshua told the
sun to stand still and the moon, SO that
the day might be heightened to prolone
tue battle until the Israelites beat the
Amorltes at Gideon.
Joshua did not know there was to be
a Fourth OF July, a day SO great that
there would be a suspension OF powder
making with which to fight the battles
lor the peoples cause now progressing in
Europe against Imperialism. If a battle
De lost for the Allies because of lack OF
powder, it may be laid to the fact that
people making powder, suspended opera
lions last Monday, July 9Th, more than
has been during the past eight months in
Penns Grove, even OH Sunday.
For the first time in history of the Dor.
ough the merchants and Post Office en-
tlrely suspended business. Heretofore
the first mail was distributed and mer-
chandlse could be bought for a few hours
IN the morning. The merchants have
closed on Sunday always but because of
the strenuous business for the past eight
months, they we're so glad to have All ex-
ira days vacation that most OF them
went elsewhere. A newspaper could not
be bought, which was also unusually.
What added much to the quietness OF
the day was a proclamation published by
Sae Mayor, %forbidding the sale Of fire works
pistols etc. A few crackers and fire works
were set off OIL private properties, but the
firing OF pistols and cannon crackers was
not heard.
The hurry and hustle OF men and wag-
ons on the street ceased upon the Fourth,
because all departments where work
could be suspended were shut down and
work stopped at the Powder mills, As a
consequence hundreds left for their FORM
er homes or for other places of amusement
or entertainment.
There We're fewer visitors to Penns Grove
than ever before, because there was no
attraction nor entertainment. The sum
mer cottagers are fewer than for years,
because most of the cottages along the
shore have been sold or rented at a high
price to powder makers.
Several have leased land and erected
tents in which to sleep.
Plant No. 2 being nearly completed and
mostly in operation, the rush, hustle and
hustle is l%essening, altho the continuous
strain of powder making is wearing OH
the men because of the continuous grind.
