ILLUSTRATIONS
And Demonstrations will Feature the
State Exhibit at the Banner Fair
Next Week

The Ohio Experiment Station,
through its various departments, Is
studying the problems with which
the farmer has to contend. The re-
suits of investigation and experiment
tation are published from time to
time throughout the year in the form
of bulletins and circulars. Many of
the truths contained in these publ
cations can be put to the practical
test upon the farm with much profit to
the farmer. over sixty thousand far
mers in Ohio and the adjoining states
are reading the bulletins and circu-
lars Of the station. Are you one of
them? Get your name on the mail
ing list A post card addressed to
the Experiment Station, Wposter, o.,
with the request win accomplish this.
In order to reach more of the far
mers in the state, special illustrat-
i've exhibits have been prepared, to
be installed at state, local and cOun-
ty fairs. These exhibits Illustrate, in
a graphic way some of the truths
which have been discovered by years
of study and experimentation.
Some of the lines of work which
will be illustrated at the Banner Fair
next week are as follows: Analysis of
farm manures, fertilizers and crops,
plant food removed in farm crops,
crop rotation, selection of varieties,
thick and thin seeding of wheat and
oats, early and late seeding of wheat,
early and late planting of corn, in
sects and nOXiOus weeds, practical
forestry, feeding farm animals, fer
tilizer experiments, keeping diary
records and many other items Of in
terest to the farmer.
Daily demonstrations will be made
in the use of the Babcock milk tester.
Samples of sweet milk will be tested
free of charge. Samples of soil will
be tested free of charge. Samples of
soil will be tested for lime. Weed
and insect specimens will be identi-
fed. While at the Fair, look for the
big tent and the sign, ohio Exper-

GENEROUSLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE
CORN
TSt. Marys Argus, |


We can now turn from things political
and look forward to some of the things
which afford relaxation, as well as di-
version. For example, we are almost in
the midst of the county fair season and
of course everybody is interested in that
annual event. st. Marys happens to be
situated midway between two county
fairs-Mercer on the west and Auglaize
on the east-and thousands of our people
will avail themselve of the privileges and
pleasures of both. While our sympathies
and preferences are naturally with our
own annual exhibition, we would not de-
tract one ota from the Celina attraction
which always draws tremendously from
our city and community But speaking or
fairs i'm general. that event surely does
give the people an opportunity to renew
and cement friendships and associations
which no other public gathering AFFORDS.
Many citizens of the county depend on
that one annual event to meet and greet
their friends. and while other things may
come and go by virtue of changing pro-
cesses in human affairs, the county talr
goes on forever. 1t is like the circus in
its hold on human sympathies, and it VIII
be many generations hence before the
county fair shall pass out of existence:
They may make all the fun of the bull
and the punkin that they are a-mind to,
but they all want to see the attractions
when the time comes, just the same

MUST DO SOMETHING

In an effort to keep up the tax dup
licate, especially in the population
centers where is located most of the
intangible property, revision boards
have been arbitrarily adding to re-
turns of individuals ana business
concerns The sworn statements are
ignored, and without hearing those
making the returns are declared dis
honest, and the additions are made.
Notice is thereafter given of such ad-
ditions. This is contrary to the law,
which presumes the honesty of men
and provides for public hearing be-
fore additions may be 5made. The
arbitrary action has been taken on
orders and with the aid of the tax
commission, which is said to be fort
flied. by the attorney generals opin-
ion The tax situation now forms a
desperate case and desperate reme-
dies are being applied.

PRICE OF FLOUR WILL RAISE

CHICAGO, Aug T. Prospects of a
general increase in the price of bread
throughout the country were consid-
cred today by the Chicago bakers.
Startling advance in the price of flour
is responsible. This followed sensa-
tiOnal advances in the wheat market,
due to black rust and storm and heat
damage throughout the northwest.
Flour has advanced $3.50 a bar
rel in the last month" said John w.
Eckhart, president Of the j. w. Eek
hart Milling Company, today. 1T is
now selling for 6.25 against $4.75
month ago. If there is no change in
the wheat situation soon, it will go
a dollar higher"

DRY FINDLAY BREAKS MORE
RECORDS

Somebody will have to head off
that dry city of Findlay. 1t goes on
disproving every claim made by the
vets and it's people are so busy and
prosperous that they have no thought
for the old booze element which is
now about weeded out.
Not content with smahsing bank
deposit records, Findlay is now to the
front with street paving. Last year
it was thought that this improvement
had reached the limit, but this year
18 more streets are being paved at a
cost approximating $135,76O.
What we ttown in the state the
size of Findlay can equal 1t? And
with 1t all Findlay has the lowest tax
ratee of any city in Ohio. There is
no balm in Findlay for the bruised
carcass of John Barleycorn.

DEMOCRATS
And Republican Place Their Tickets
In Field for Final Consideration
of Voters

Last Tuesday brought forth one of
the closest contest primaT yelections
held in this county for many years.
The fact that almost every section of
the county was represented by can
didate brought forth a good sized
primary vote and made all the cOun-
ty fights exciting. The vote was pret-
ty evenly split up and each and every
candidate received a good sized COM
plimentary vote.
To the surprise Of many, Put San
dies, of Ottawa, carried the county
over former governor Cox by some
thing over q hundred votes, while
John j. Lentz, of Columbus. secured
a like majority over Senator Pomer-
enc.
B. f.. Welty cleaned up on N. w.
Cunningham for congress, securing
a majority of over 500 votes, which
also secuerd for him the nomination
in the district.
Fred Huber, of Franklin township,
secured a majority of almost 300 ov-
er his next opponent, Judge Scranton
in the hight fer representative.
Probably the biggest surprise of
the election was the nomination of
Bert Morrison for surveyor, who de-
feated Noah Hinton, out for second
term, by clean margin of 1872 votes.
A hOtly contested prosecutors
fight was waged between Myers and
Kramer, with the result that G. A.
Stubs, young attorney of this city,
secure dthe cream of the vote and
crossed the wire ten votes ahead of
Myers, according to the official tabu-
lated figures by the Board last night.
Ed G. Ungerer, & third time candi-
date, secured the nomination for
auditor, defeating his next opponent,
Jim Carlin, by 159 votes.
Leo Schunck fell short in his fight
against Sheriff Pumphrey, up for re-
nomination, losing out by over 900
votes.
Druggist Perry Baker, of this city,
secured a majority of 200 votes over
Henry Schroer, of COldwater, while
James Hart, of Gibson, was ushered
in by a 400 majority over Clyde
Thomas
Another last minute surprise was
sprung by the selection of John Now,
of Hopewell township, for place on |
the Board of Commissioners, Hill and |
Steinbrunner. as generally picked, Sc |
curing the largest vote. The third |
place, however, was generally con- |
ceded to go to John Stammen, of |
Marion, John Dues or John Helm, of |
this city. All three ran even below |
Jacob Tingley, Of Union.
The ticket as nominated in its en-
tirety is a good one and should have |
the united support of all Democratic
voters at the November election.

GENTuITY

In the midst of the conflict of opin-
ion on policies and whom to vote for
let us take to heart the wholesome
doctrine of the Benztown Bard, who
thus sings in the Baltimore Sun:
We want less hate, we want less
strife,
We need more sweetness Of life;
We want less care, we want less
pain,
We need the sunshine as well as
rain;
We want less scorn, we want less
greed,
We want more loving in our creed;
We want more JOY and more con-
tent
Less bitterness and argument.
No victory for truth and virtue is
ever won by i'll will and hate, If one
wins by mere spite, he wins defeat
only. There is an old motto, Keep
sweet and go ahead" and one is
more apt to go ahead il he keeps
sweet AS soon as he becomes sour
he strays and stumbles. There is an
other motto, "Shake hands and
agree" which contains more wisdom
than we would hastily admit

the handsome thing. If it is dry

est to government ownership advocates
in congress, several Of whom again ex-
pressed their hop that the present situa-
lion will lead to government ownership of
part of the railroad systems i'm the
country.
Il am informed that this plan for
throwing the railroads into receiyership
as the only way of avoiding long and
costly tie-up has been considered not only
by the men but by the railroads." said
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa. THE strike
would be "a bad thing for the roads be-
cause it would mean a terrific legal battle,
and a definite arraying of capital against
labor"
The optomism over the possibility of
an amicable settlement is based on two
conclusions. The railroads, it is believ-
ed, do not want a receivership because
it would lead inevitably to a general ex-
posure of existing conditions, of inflated
stock issues and the like, under which
many of the roads are staggering
1t would also be reasonably certain to
establish somewhere a model of govern
ment ownership. devise to supply the best
possible service to the public with the
highest possible wages to the employs

dends on the investment or even paying
expenses.
