Columbus, O.-Hon. Frank H, Reig-
lard, chairman of the finance commit
Zee of the house of representatives,
1as forever put a quietus on the state
ments being made by unfriendly news
papers that the Willis administration
has failed to give proper attention
and money for the caring for state
wards. Concerning the bureau of
Juvenile research and others, Mr.
Reighard says:
THE law creating the bureau Of ju-
venlle research went into effect just
six months prior to the beginning of
the Willis administration. In the first
four and one half months of that time
the state board of administration,
which has charge of the work of the
bureau, with millions of dollars at it's
command, appropriated in lump sums,
spent for all purposes in prosecuting
the work of the bureau, $1,417.07. At
that rate the expense for the year
would have been $3,778.S0. The Willis
legislature appropriated for the work
$10,676.12 annually. Compared with
what the Cox board spent, the appro-
priation made by the last board was
anything but stingy.
''The demand that came from every
quarter of the state, from child vel
fare societies, probate judges and pro-
baton officers, was for cottages for
the housing of patients, that the feeble
minded, epileptic and insane may be
segregated. Not single demand was
made for building for the bureau OF
juvenile research, except one from the
board of administration for $4,000 for
that purpose. Governor Cox's budget
submitted to the Willis legislature
does not contain "a word of recon.
mendation for the appropriation of a
dollar either for the work or a build
ing for the bureau.
"The demand for cottages was not q
new one, as the institution for the
feeble minded and hospital for epilep
tics were refusing to take patients
owing to crowded conditions.
cat these two institutions the Cor
legislature had appropriated $21O,00C
for new buildings, while the Willis leg
islature appropriated S493,000 for the
same purpose. For new buildings anC
betterments at state institutions the
Willis legislature appropriated more
than $1,500000, the largest amount ap
| propriated for like purposes by any
legislature in the last SO years. Does
this look like stinginess?"

STRANGE Toast,

In the course of recent address
Doctor. SmeIlie of the Oriental Seces-
sion church, recalled { curious toast
which one Of the Scottish regiments
quartered at Edinburgh Castle in the
early years of last century was ac-
customed to drink at mess. The toast
was; "a clean sword and a dirty BIZ
bic" If the sword had to be drawn.
it must only be in the cause of honor,
for the protection of the weak, for
the defense of the helples. The dirty
Bible meant Bible whose leaves
were thumbed or frayed with constant
use.
The second condition secures the
first; for the Bible is the foundation
of chivalry and honor, and the only
effectual and enduring antidote to
strife between man and man.-Lon-
don Christian

DESERVING OF REELECTION
Many Accomplishments and Important
Changes Have Been Recorded.

When the formal declaration of Gov.
ernor Frank B. Willis for renomina,
tion was filed with Secretary of State
Charles O. Hildebrant, the secretary
gave out the following statement:
Governor Willis should be renom.
mated without opposition and he will
be reelected by largely increased
majority The people voted, for a
change in the state administration in
1914 and they want Governor Willis
to continue on the job and complete
the work so well begun in the few
months that have elapsed since his in
auguration.
when it is taken into consideration
that the Democratic forces were in
control of state affairs for seven years
and during this period six sessions of
the legislature were held (including
one special session under Governor
Harmon and two special sessions un.
der Governor Cox and also state
constitutional convention, all con
trolled by the Democrats, Governor
Willis has done more than any CtLer
one Republican could hope to do in
bringing about the necessary changes
in the state laws and administration
policies with only one session of the
legislature and but few months serv
ice to his credit.
"The governor. merits a re-nomina
| ton in every sense of the word and
his election, which will follow as a
matter of course. will enable him tc
carry out his party policies to a great
er extent and thus complete one OF
the most popular and most satisfac
tory administrations in the history OF
/ the state.''

CHAPTER XIII
Exodus

In the Yellowstone National park
there is an apparently bottomless pit
which can be instantly transformed in
to spouting, roaring Vesuvius of boil
ing water by the simple expedient Of
dropping bar of soap into it.
The Spotlight went to press at three
O'Clock. BY the earliest graying of
dawn. and long before the sun had
shown itself above the eastern Timan-
yonis. Brouillards bar of soap was
melting and the Mirapolitan under
depths were beginning to heave. Like
wildfire, the news spread from lip TO
lip and street to street, and by sunrise
the geyser was retching and vomiting
belching debris of cries and maledic-
tions, and pouring excited and riotous
crowds into Chigringo avenue.
Most naturally, the Spotlight Office
was the first point of attack, and Har-
Ian suffered loss, though it was incou-
siderable. At the battering down of
the doors the angry mob found itself
confronting the young reclamation
service chief and four members of his
staff, all armed. Brouillard spoke
briefly and to the point.
81 am the man who wrote that ar
ticle you've been reading, and Mr.. Har-
Ian printed 1t as a matter of news. If
you have anything to say to me you
know where to find me. Now, move
on and let Mr.. Harlan's property alone
or somebody will get hurt"
Nobody stayed to press the argu-
ment at the moment. An early-morn-
ing mob is proverbially incoherent and
incohesive; and, besides, loaded Win
chesters in the hands of five deter.
mined men are apt to have an elo.
quence which is more or less con
vincing.
But with the opening of business the
geyser spouted again. The exchanges
were mobbed by eager sellers, each
frenzied struggler hoping against hope
that he might find someone simple
enough to buy. At ten o'clock the bank
closed-"Temporarily," the placard no
tice said. But there were plenty to be
lieve that it would never open again.
BY noon the trading panic had ex
beusted itself a little, though the lobby
and cafe of the Metropole were crowd
ed, and anxious groups quickly formed
around any nucleus of rumor or GOSSIP
in the streets.
Between one and two O'Clock, Will,
Brouillard, Leshington and Anson wer,

RULES BANANA A NECESSITY
England Exempts Americas Popular
Fruit From List Which May Not
Be Imported.

The humble banana has suddenly
leaped into the limelight, remarks
London Answers.
By it's exemption from the list of
fruits which may not be imported, it
has been hall-marked a necessity"
Everybody is talking about it, and
most people are eating it. For it is
as much the fruit of the peasant as
the peer. A biscuit and a banana Of
ten forms the working girls lunch,
while the gay and golden fruit is now
largely taking the place of the stale
sandwich on railway journeys.
The banana is one of the great
curiosities of the vegetable kingdom
One cannot call it a tree, a bush, a
shrub. a herb, or a vegetable, but a
herbaceous plant with the status of a
tree.
Though there is no woody fiber in
any part of its structure, it sometimes
grows as tall as thirty feet, and the

they are often heavier than the stall
that supports them. Of all fruits, the
banana yields most food per acre. 1t
yields forty times more by weight than
the potato, and as much as 1873 times
more than wheat.
1t is immune from disease of any
sort, and no insect will attack it.
Nervous people often reject bananas
that have become brown and mushy,
fearing microbes. But such fear is
needless. The banana is fit to eat
| as soon as it has lost all the green
color, and remains fit no matter how
black it may be, so long as the skin
is unbroken; for until the latter oc-
ours, there can be no admission of air
and no decomposition.
Bananas. by the way, are good for
babies. Dr. Eric Pritchard finds that
a decoction of banana cruel has many
points of recommendation. 1t can be
made in a few minutes by rubbing a
heaped up tablespoonful of banana
flour into a pint of water, and then
boiling for five minutes.
