Canton. John Sell, aged 81, of
Osnaburg. is the champion walker of
Stark county, and to prove it the
other day he turned up his nose at a
jitney bus which operates between
that village and Canton, a distance OF
six miles, and hiked home, just for the
fun of it.
A friend in an automobile passed him
on the road and offered to give him a
lift, but he scorned it and made the
distance in two hours.

LISTER SURE WILSON

Governor Tells National Capital Pol

on Republicans.

Governor Ernest Lister, who with
Mrs. Lister is in the East attending
the conference of governors, is of
the opinion that President Wilson
will be renominated and elected. He
was in Washington City few days
ago and while there gave out a news
paper interview in which he said:
'"There is no shadow of doubt that
if the war continues the president
will be re-nominated and reelected.
I say this not because / am a Demo-
crat, but because of the sentiment
throughout every part of the country
have visited, regardless of politics.
Even should the war end suddenly,
the revival of business that would be
sure to follow would give the Demo-
Gratis a tremendous advantage.
"In the Northwest there is marked
improvement in business and the
prospects are exceedingly bright.
Washington will make the largest
wheat crop in it's history, and other
crops are proportionately large.

upon our people more forcibly than
ever before the absolute necessity of
Strengthening our defense, and I

SETTLES BOND DIFFICULTY.
Agricultural Department Arranges
Sureties for Commission Men.

The department of agriculture has
been successful through the state in
surance commissioner in solving the
problem Of obtaining for commission
houses the $4,000 bonds required to
be filed with the state under the
state law now being enforced.
Bonding companies at first refused
to write the bonds required and COM
mission men had difficulty in comply
ing with the law. The department or
agriculture now announces that four
or more companies will take the FISK
at a charge to the commission men
of IS per $1,000. The department
therefore will no longer accept the
excuse for failure to comply with the
law that the bonds cannot be oo-
tanned.

the "old fogies," but the taxpayers
think they are also having a hard
pull against those who pay very little
tax or none. 1t is not encouraging to
vote a tax on ones self or on ones
neighbors in order to build high
school when the number of pupils
from South Bay who complete the
eighth grade are so few. Some years
there are three pupils and other
years there are only two. Further
more, when the taxpayers recall the
list of eighth graders, even if this
list is small, from South Bay who
have entered high schools and other
institutions, such as business col
leges, etc, and then count up the
number who have graduated from
these high schools and colleges. the
taxpayer finds that the list of grad
yates is small in comparison to the
number who have entered. Having
these facts in mind, the taxpayers
who have the burden of taxation to
bear do not believe that a high school
in South Bay is necessary. There
fore, they do not vote for it.

BOARD SEEKS TO AID
FARMERS; n. P. REFUSES
Unable to Offer Lower Rates, Saw
Oificials--Wheat to 90 by Ships
From Puget Sound.

In order to aid Eastern Washing
ton farmers in every way possible in
making their record export wheat
crop this fall, the public service COM
mission, on request of Ex-Governor
Miles c. Moore of Walla Walla, no.
titled the Northern Pacific railroad
that the commission would not con-
slider as a precedent any lower rate
on wheat east which the road might
agree to put in as an emergency this
fall, and would not object when the
road wished to restore the old rate.
Mr.. Moore, representing several
farmers unions, desired this assur-
ance in order to persuade the North
ern Pacific to consider making the
new rate, wanted to facilitate ship
ment of wheat east for export instead
Of to Puget Sound, because of be-
lief there would be a shortage of
ships at Portland and Sound points.
Despite the commissions cooper
alton, however, the Northern Pacific
has declined to grant any reduction
and has so notified the commission.
Reasons for this given by Vice Pres
ident ]. G. Woodworth, of the North
ern Pacific, are that no rate the road
would be able to put in would sue
coed in diverting the wheat eastward,
because charters from New York
were relatively as high as from
Pacific Coast points, and because
Eastern importers would not be able
to handle the added business, result
ing in congestion at Duluth and New
York.
It is believed that the farmers will
give up further effort and will send
their 5O,0OO,00O bushels export crop
to Puget Sound and Portland as
usual for export.
