Improvement Expected.

With cessation OF lake traffic
within the near future Ohio coal deal
ers and coal carriers look for Z de-
cided improvement in the coal car
shortage. The Hooking Valley & To-
ledo and Ohio Central railroads al
ready have reported more cars for
placement at the mines, and when the
lake traffic stops it is expected they
will be able to accommodate the in
ternal business. The operators have
been delivering all coal to the lakes
under contract and have not profited
therefore by the prevailing high prices

Loan Agencies To Fight.

One of the incidents of the
approaching legislative sessions is
likely to be a sharp struggle be
tween the loan agencies and companies
licensed by the state under the provi-
sions of the Lloyd loan shark act
and the Morris plan banks, Of which
there are five in the state of Ohio.
The cause is a ruling Of the legal de-
partment of tho state that the law
does not provide for the Morris plan
institutions. They are at present not
subject to regulation. It will be neces-
sary for the Morris plan banks to Sc
cure recognition from the assembly,
as it is recognized they are at present
continuing business on the under
| standing that the general assembly is
to grant them legal status. The
struggle will come over the regulations
that are to be established. AS COM
petitors the loan agencies and COM
panies will ask that they be subjected
| to the same limitations. The Morris
| plan banks are said to ask that they
| be given legal status with subsection
| to the same regulations as the loan
| agencies under the Lloyd act. It is
| claimed by the licensed loan men that
the Morris plan banks have a system
| of penalties that makes their aggre-
gate charges for loans heavier than
the legal limit allowed by the loan
companies licensed by the loan act.

Banker With
Millions Sue
For SIS Cow

ATLANTA, Ca, March 30.-A banker
and a millionaire suing for the value
IF a $75 COW was the unusual specta-
Gle presented yesterday in municipal
court by John S. Owens, banker, CITY
alderman and prominent capitalist. Mr..
Owens bought a cow ana paid SIS for
it. with the understanding that the
animal would give five gallons of milk
day. Imagine his chagrin upon dis
lowering that the COW was as dry as
the city of Birmingham.
Mr.. Owens went back to the man
from whom he bought the COW and de-
handed a refund of his money. The
man disclaimed responsibility for the
tactical department of the COW, on the
ground that he was merely selling as
agent fer the owner. Whereupon M.
owens brought suit, got judgment,
but had to sue again when the seller
Of the COW appealed his case. Already
the costs of court exceeds the cost of
the COW, but Mr.. Owens declares he'll
never give up until he gets his
money.
The case has been pe@ding in the
courts already for some time, and
Atlanta lawyers are looking into the
statutes to see what might happen in
case the cow comes in again before
a final decision is obtained.

FARM DEPARTMENT OF

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Boil WeeViIe Meetings.

Everybody is wondering what will be
the outcome of this years cotton crop.
Some are putting in an increased acre
age, thinking this will doubtless be
their last opportunity at a full crop.
Others are planting but little and de-
clare they are through with cotton
%hen the weevil reaches them. These
are just simply experiences that have
been repeated ever since the weevil
reached Texas. The one thing moss
needful, as former experiences have
shown is to make absolutely sure you
are doing safe farming.
How we may do this and still grow
cotton under weevil infestation is the
purpose of two meetings planned By
our department for next Saturday
April LIST at Plains and Leslie. Mr.. J.
A Evans, the best informed man in
the employment OF the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, as to what is best
to DO to grow cotton with weevil, will
be with us to address the farmers and
business men at these places. 1t is
hoped that the men, and ladies as we'll
OF these sections will be present at
these places, at Plains at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning, and Leslie at 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon to hear
the best there is ON boil weeyil and
safe farming.
Mr. Evans will also be with us Fri
day morning at 10 a m, at Shellman
and at 2;3O p. m, at Leesburg.
Friday night he will visit the boys of
the Third District A. G. M. school.
These young men are getting ready for
debate with phases Of the boil weevil
as their subject. II Is fortunate, there
fore, that they are to have this visi,
from a gentleman who has had four
teen ysars' experience in showing 9th
ers bon % combat tho pest.

FENCE ERECTED
AND FLOWERS ON
GROUNDS CONF c

The work on the Third Agricultural
District fair is progressing with rapid
strides
Today a large force of laborers were
engaged in completing the big steel
fence around the grounds. Secretary
Lyman held a consultation with Supt,
J. NJ. France, superintendent of the en-
gineering department, and some few
changes were made in the general ar
rangements of the grounds from the
original plans. Instead of the gate
being put as formerly provided for in
the rear of the boys dormitory, it has
been moved up the road and placed in
the big open space above the building,
and the entrance, when completed, eau
be seen from every train, and Lee
street This was thought to be better
place on account of the proposed build
ing of the training school, which will
lie outside the gate of the fair and near
the entrance, so as to be within easy
access to the children when they come
to the school The building will start
from the gate and be grouped across
tie east line of the grounds, and
tbence south as far as the plan will
carry them. In place of the grand
stand and stadium being at the north
end of the park, it will be at the south,
just the reverse position as it was
first planned.
Honeysuckle vines are being planted
along the entire fence and in the cen
ter of each panel there viii be planted
a beautiful running rose, which
through the kindness OF r. j. Berck-
mans company, of Augusta, Ga. This
firm having provided 400 rose bushes
three years old, which are expected to
arrive in Americas tomorrow for this
purpose.
Parties in going ont Sunday will sea
a wonderful change in the grounds
and will be surprised at the work that
has been accomplished already.
Cordele and Vienna have notified
Secretary Hyman that they would take
stock in the fair, and blanks have been
sent them to sign.

be saved if the Christian Church awak-

ents to help.
So we may not become so engrossed
in these martyrdoms of two thousand
years ago, as to ignore the greater
ones of yesterday. Equally marvellous
have been the deliverances. Just as
James died and Peter lived, so a mil
lion Christians have perished, and an
other million have come through alive
Some have had deliverances that seem
miraculous. After the Moslem butch
ers have left some communities OF
Christians, there have crawled out lit
orally from beneath the heaps of the
slain those who have escaped untouch-
ed. We have yet to hear the full
story of the deliverances of the Chris
tians under the Moslem attacks of the
past year. When DIR. Clarence USHER
for instance, whose wife had died OF
typhus and he himself had been smit-
ten with the same disease, which
emaciated him to a mere skeleton, was
being carried out of the city of Van
the bullets of the Turks and Kurds
penetrated the canopy over the litter
that carried him, but he himself was
untouched.
1t is of first importance that we re-
call not only the dealings of God with
His children in the long ago, but that
God deals in the same way with His
children in this year of our Lord
1916.
When the Church Cared
King llerod, a miserable politician
wanted Jewish support, and so he ar
rested representative Christians. Pub
lie order did not require this nor his
own instructions or convictions. He
was but an ancient prototype of the
class of officeholders who will sacri-
flee duty on the altar of personal pop
ularity or political expediency.
James the dearly beloved of Jesus
had fallen under the sword. Peter
lay chained between two Roman sol
diers.
A beautiful picture of the simple
ity and the solidarity of the early
Church is contained in this story
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-28

crowded with sensations than nickel
novel. It's scenes range from a kings
palace to a prison dungeon; and from
CORY field of execution, where n
saints head had rolled on the ground,
to a sheltered prayer meeting in the
home of the mother of a since Cele
brated author. A king, an angel, two
apostles, a group of devoted women
and some slain soldiers all figure in
the narrative.
OF unusual pertinency is this story
of an early martyrdom. James, one
of the favored three companions of
Jesus had been beheaded. Peter broke
Jail by a miracle. Other unnamed
Christians had suffered. We should do
ill., however, were we to confine our
thoughts to these incidents, forgetting
that within the past ten months there
have been q million martyrs for the
Name sake in blood-soakcd Armenia.
The fate of those first Christians was
simple and merciful as compared with
what has befallen wearers of the same
name within the memory of every
Sunday school child.
This is the day to recall the persecu-
tions of the Christians in Turkey.
Some have been imprisoned, but most
have been "deported," which means
sent away from home and livelihood
into desert wastes of starvation. They
who were killed by sword or bullet
were counted the most fortunate; for
as / heard one Armenian say, "Massa-
cres are merciful as compared with
this" Starvation, cold, weariness be-
yond words, shelterless, soaked in
rains or bitten by frost. the prey of
wild animals and worse men, tortured
so unspeakaby that even the plain
language of that Oriental book, called
The Bible" presents no analogy for
their fate-the Christians of Armenia
have touched the high-water mark of
the Church's martyrdoms All that
the eleventh chapter of Hebrews says
about the heroes of the faith, has been
more than duplicated in the present
case of the Armenians. More than a
million have died; million more may
