There is romer all over town that
Cy Hoskins was a going to single his
harm before cold wether set in but we
could not verify it SO before going to
press with this ishue we hunted up Cy
and interviewed him about it.
Cy asked US how mulch shingles was
by the thousand We told him we thort
they was IN the naberhood of S13 per
thou Then Cy said he had been
thinllin some of shinelin his barn but in
view of the high price of shingles he
oa1kilated he would let it go until next
VI or the VI after
We are therefore glad to deny this
charge agirst Cy which accuses him of
Intending to shingel his barn.

INDOOR WORKER
IS HANDICAPPED
Office Men Often Pay Penalty of In
door Grind.

We can't all be devotees of the
great out-of-doors, and so the office
men and women too often pay the
penalty of the all-day grind at the
desk.
There comes in many cases the slug
gishness that is bred of physical in
activity and the ailments that mark
the indoor man for their own.
To say 81 feel gool all over" is to
speak the acme of content, and when
this is supplemented by a steady,
healthy increase in weight after a
long period of suffering, the fortunate
man usually feels that he wants to
share his good luck with the less for
tunate "other fellow"
1t is this spirit that prompts so
many prominent business men in
every community to endorse Tanlac
Tanlac assists nature to throw off de-
preston and in its place to stimulate
the system, with the result that en-
ergy and vigor return.
That "tired feeling" means a good
deal more than is generally realized
1t is one of the symptoms of a more
serious condition. 1t is not laziness
it is a physical aliment that needs cor
rection before it takes a firm hold on
you. The results of the Tanlac treat
ment are amazing.
Tanlac tends to make tired out, list
less persons sturdy and of real man
hood and womanhood like those old
fashioned but most sensible folks
the pioneers.
AS tonic. appetizer and invigor.
ant. nothing ever has been discovered
that will compare with Tanlac. Il
builds new tissues, vitalizes the blood
and acts so favorably on ailments Of
the stomach, liver and kidneys, anC
catarrhal affections of the mucou.
membranes.
Satisfied users of Tanlac havt
proven to be Tanlac's best advertisers
Men and women, from the highest tt
the lowest walks of life, everywher,
are testifying daily to the relief Tan
lac has brought them. No other rem
edy has won such endorsements, tina
can only come from superlative merit
Tanlac is being especially intro
duced in Wauseon, Ohio, at the FIN
& Haumesser Drug Store where tn
Tanlac Man is daily explaining i
and the results that may be expects
from its use.
Tanlac may be obtained in Fayette

WILLIS SELECTED
Governor Frank B. Willis Chosen by
Senator Burton to Present His
Name to The Republican National
Convention at Chicago in June.

Former United States Senator,
Theodore E. Burton, has chosen Gov
ernor Frank B. Willis of Ohio to pre-
sent his name to the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago, in June,
as a candidate for the Republican
Nomination for president. The honor
conferred upon Ohio's governor is
great because of the fact that Ohio
is looked upon by other states of the
Union as the pivot state. All eyes
are upon Ohio. Ohio's favorite son,
Senator Burton, is one of the foremost
candidates for the presidency. His
strength is not only in his own state,
but in East and West as we'll. His
great record in Congress makes him
one of the most formidable candi-
date and many of the newspapers. and
other periodicals of the East and
West concede that he will be a COM
manding figure in the convention,
while many of them express it as
their opinion that he will be the nom
inee.
Not only is Governor Willis honor
ed by having been selected to name
Burton to the convention, but another
Ohioan has been chosen u sound the
keynote of the convention, as Cempor-
airy chairman. This is Senator War
rem G. Harding of, Marion. His selec-
ton was unanimous, and ne is being
looked upon to give to the people of
the Nation, the Republican view of
the coming campaign.
Ohio, therefore, must put her best
foot forward in the coming April
primary. Not only must she give
Senator Burton a big vote IN The
presidential preference ballot, but
she must give to Senator Harding and
Governor Willis and to William Coop
er Proctor and Hon. John ]. Sullivan
vote which will be a credit to the
state and to the Republican, arty. To
maintain the standing in the c,nven-
her delegates must Ee given the IN
qualified endorsement of the Pepunli-
can voters of the state. me party
must stand together as unit. These
candidates for delegate at large nave
been endorsed by nearly rAry cot n
ty and district in the state. They
are the big men of Ohio whom the
Republicans want to represent then
at this history making convention.
The attention of republican otera
is called to the fact that there is e
presidential preference ballot to he
voted and that Hon. Theodore E
Burton's name is the only Republ' .ar
name on the ballot for president. Thc
names of Governor Willis, Senator
Harding, Mr.. Proctor and Mr.. Sullivan
will be on a separate ballot, for dele
gate at large. The primary is Apri
25, and it is the duty of every Repub
lican to vote.

GRAIN LOADER DOES WORK
OF HARVEST HANDS

A -labor-saving agricultural ma
chine, described in the May number
of Popular Mechanics Magazine, dis
penses with harvest hands employed
in the field in loading grain to be
stacked or to supply threshing ma
chine. 1t is called a shock loader and
will fill wagon rack in less than two
and a half minutes. 1t weighs $500
h., is drawn by four horses, and is
operated by the driver alone. The
principal parts of the machine are the
"pickers" and three carriers. The
pickers, whose position is analogous
to that of the cutting knives on a
binder, lift the bundles of grain and
deposit them on a carrier by which
they are transferred to horizontal
carrier at the rear; from this the
grain is raised on an inclined elevator
and dropped into wagons which move
alongside the machine. The pickers
are Gin. spies fastened to a eft. steel
bar. They grasp the bundles and the
turning of the bar deposits them on
the carrier. The pickers also gather
up the loose grain about the shocks.
A 20-in. drive-wheel operates the car
riers, pickers, etc. The machine will
do the work of several men pitching
bundles in the field and can load six
wagons fast enough to supply a
threshing outfit as rapidly as IL wa
gonS can under the old method. This
loader is also used advantageously in
loading alfalfa, for it does not shake
off the dry leaves, as is done in hand
loading.

PITY THE POOR BLIND.

In speaking of the work of the Ohio
Commission for the Blind Governor
Willis in his address at the opening
of the new quarters for the Commits
sion at Columbus said:
mo one," said the Governor,
"would wish to place a monetary val
ue upon a pair of eyes, nevertheless,
it is a fact that the state is saving
thousands of dollars as a result of
the commissions practical methods
for the conservation of vision. It
costs a great deal more to educate a
child without sight than with sight,
and if adult life has to be spent in
darkness, additional public funds may
be required to provide financial relief.
It can easily be shown that, for the
increased appropriation given the
commission for the saving of eyes,
Ohio will be spared many times that
amount of money for the future care
of those who might otherwise have
been blind. leave it to you to place
an estimate upon the human happi-
ness which has been given to those
who are able to see today as a result
of this campaign to save sight"
"From time immemorial the cry
has been Pity the Poor Blind. The
state, through this commission, is
making every effort to enable those
who are already sightless to do what
they can to be usefully and happily
employed. Those who have seen our
blind friends working this afternoon
and have examined the useful, attrac-
tive and well made articles rejoice
that a new day has dawned for those
who have appealed to US to give them
an opportunity to take their places,
so far as possible, in the economic
world.
Helen Keller has told us that The
heaviest burden on the blind is not
blindness, but idleness, and they can
be relieved of this greater burden.
The state can teach the blind to work,
but their fellow citizens must furnish
the market for their products The
commission for the blind, by virtue of
its more adequate quarters, which are
said to be as we'll adapted to their
purpose as any in the country, is

STUDYING UPPER AIR
WITH AID OF KITE

To assist the Weather Bureau in
making its forecasts, and also to en-
able a systematic study of the me-
chanics of the upper atmosphere, the
government has established an areo-
logical station near Elk City, Ne
braska. The May Popular Mechanics
Magazine gives an account of the
work being done there. Conditions
prevailing at elevations up to approx
mately two miles a~e being determin-
ed by means Of seh-recordinr inrtr'
ments attached to box kites which
are flown regularly.
In the past our weather predictions
have been based upon observations
made at the ground, or in the lower
strata of air. The place where storms
originate, however, is in the zone ly-
ing between one and three miles above
the earth. The inaccuracies of fore
casts are due largely to the observers
ignorance Of conditions existing in
the actual storm region. BY having a
fairly continuous record of the wind
velocity, temperature, barometeric
pressure, and humidity of the upper
air. a forecaster has quite complete
data from which to make accurate de-
examinations. It is primarily for the
purpose of collecting information of
this kind and obviating the greatest
chances for mistakes in weather pre-
dictions, that the kite-hying station
Is being operated.

Dangers of Draft.

Drafts feel best wnen we are hot
and perspiring, just then they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
b'ood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgie Headache will find one or
two application of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agoniz-
ing pain give way to a tingling SEN
sation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price 25c at your

UNFIT FOR WAR
Unable to Pass Physical Ex-

CAPTAIN PIkkSTOH'S FIGURES

OF 41,16s Men Examined Only $3.50
Were Accepted as Physically Fit
For Government Service-Medical
Men Give as One Reason That Vi
taIity Has Been Slapped by Alcohol
and Excesses Caused by Drink.
New pecial.)-Discussio
Of probable war has aroused interest
In a table prepared by Captain L. P.
Pinkston of the United States marine
corps staff, stationed in this city The
table shows that of all applicants for
enlistment the country over last year,
only 9.31 per cent were accounted
physically fit for government service.
This is an average of one man in each
eleven examined.
In all districts of the country II, ,16s
nen were examined, and Of this num-
ber but 1888 we're accepted.
Of the 1l,012 applicants examined
In this city, only S16 were accepted
for enlistment. In Baltimore, 1876
were examined and 1873 accepted
Cleveland, 2,S12 examined and 175 &C.
cepted. Cincinnati, 1,165 examined
and 199 accepted. In Chicago, 4,44S
were examined and 434 accepted. In
San Francisco, 2,732 were examined
and 224 accepted.
This is the startling condition which
confronts the United States. When
it comes to real preparedness, men
are of far more moment than money
There is plenty of money in the coun
try, but Captain Pinkston's figures are
just cause for alarm when men are
considered.
Medical men in and out of military
circles are not slow in detailing the
causes of the physical unfitness of sc
many young Americans. One of these
reasons is that alcoholic liquors an6
the excesses which many of those
Who drink are prone to indulge il
saps the vitality of the young man
hood Of the country.
Captain Pinkston's statistics are
causing mush concern. England faced
the same trouble when she engaged
in the present war. Drink mad under
mined the strength and virility o
many Of her young men. If only one
out Of eleven applicants for service il
this country are found fit, our rea
fighting strength is greatly weakened

PRINCESS THEATRE.
ElmendOrf Travel Talks.
TO TELL OF DALMATIA AND
MONTENEGRO

Dwight Elmendorf's beautifully IL
lustrated travel talk on Dalmatia,
with side trips into neighboring states
of Herzegovina and Montenegro, will
be the offering at Princess Theatre on
Monday April oath.
Dalmatia, it will be remembered,
corresponds very closely to the ancient
kingdom of Illyra, where Shakespeare
placed the scenario of his Twelfth
Night" This delightful little country
with its island studded coast, its medi-
aeval cities. and its stirring history,
promises to make this travel talk one
of sharp contrasts with those which
have already been given during the
past months. The lecturer will first
introduce his hearers to Fiume at the
northern end of the Adriatic sea, and
will then continue his tour to lara, the
Capital of the country. Following the
visit to this interesting city, there will
be shown in turn, Sevenico, Trau,
Spalata, Salono, Ragusa, Curzola, Car
raro and Cittinje. The latter city,
which is the capital of Montegegro, is
said to be one of the most picturesque
places in the world being described
by the lecturer as an oasis in a sea of
rocks.
Each step of the journey will be il
lustrated and it promises to be a re-
velation to those who are wearied of
the hackneyed paths.
