The weather being unfavorable was
undoubtedly responsible for the
small attendance at the lectures on
agriculture that were held in the high
school auditorium Thursday evening
under the auspices OF the Mt. Vernon
chamber Of commerce. The recent
rains made the roads very bad and
as result only small number Of
agricultural men were present to
hear the instructive as we'll as in
teresting addresses which were de
livered by L. o. Lantes of the Ohio
state extension service and Prof
Charles Thone of the Wooster exper.
iment station. AS it was, fair-sized
audience was present and it was self
evident that the addresses we're Of
great interest to the Knox county
farmers present.
The meeting opened with an intro
duction and outline of the purposes
of the chamber of commerce by Vice
President j. S. MUCrackin. As stated
by Mr.. McCrackin, the purpose of the
chamber of commerce is that of i'm
proving the community in all ways
possible, the rural districts as. well
as the city districts.
The theme Of Mr.. Lantes' address
was that Of extension work, MI Ian
tes explained very clearly that the
united Efforts OF the country and city
were bf much greater benefit to both
than the separate efforts OF either,
and urged that a hearty cooperation
be INDUCED in for the benefit of both
as the country is dependent upon the
city and vice versa.
This explanation being completed,
Mr.. Lantes explained that, as so few
could attend the agricultural schools
in proportion to the number of farm
ers, the purpose of the Ohio state
agricultural extension service is to
bring the university to the farmers
In this work, not only. the men are
benefited, but also the women through
the efforts of the extension service
However, Mr.. Iantes feels that al
though many Ohio farmers are being
benefited by this method, the major
ity of farmers do not realize the ben
efits to be derived from this system
and as result are not as appreciat-
i've as they might be.
Mr.. McCrackin then introduced
Prof. Charles Thorne, who has been
connected with Wooster experiment
station for great many years Prof.
Thorne's address was based chiefly
upon the rotation of crops and soil
fertilization. He explained what
large factors these were in profitable
farming and gave several very good
examples of crop rotations, at the
same time proving, by unquestionable
facts, the profits to be derived by
common-sense soil fertilization.
1t is to be hoped that these ad-
dresses will be of some material ben
eft to those who were able to attend
the meeting and that the farmers
will join in hearty cooperation with
the members of the chamber of com
merce in making this one of the most
progressive communities in the state
Of Ohio, or the United States, which.

HARDING's SELECTION.

The selection Of Senator Warren
q. Harding of Ohio, for temporary
chairman of the Republican national
convention appears to have been a
peculiarly happy solution of a diff
cult problem. Senator Harding is
not closely identified with any fac
ton of the party but is liked by all.
He is an orator of marked ability,
has fine voice which will carry to
the farthest end of the convention
hall, is a man of pre-eminent COM
mon sense and wisdom and while COM
paratively new in the senate, has a
fine record in his own state. While
it is true that Senator Harding put

Soon we will begin to see in the
Democratic press the same old state
ment that has heen used in the same
only way for almost half a century,
1t will be "Wall Street is behind the
Republican nominee for president" !"
of course, the Democrats said the
same thing when Cleveland was elect
ed,altho Wall street and New York
City rolled up big majorities for
Cleveland. 1t was the same four
year ago when Wilson was elected
altho Wall Street and New York City
rolled up big majorities for Wilson,
1t will be the same old cheap rot no
matter whom the Republicans nom
mate. Only this time New York will
not be for Wilson.

WORD FROM VIRGINIA.

Virginia is surely drifting toward
Republicanism and the time is not
far distant when the old Dominion
will cast its votes for our party
says Representative C.. Bascom Slemp
the only Republican congressman
from that state. 'The outlook for
the Republican party in Virginia is
most encouraging. Our representa-
ton in the state Legislature is larg
er than ever and is constantly IN
creasing. The day is almost here
when there will be two vigorous po-
litical parties in Virginia. The
change is most perceptible. Take the
present attitude of the Democratic
newspapers. For the first time since
the close of the Civil war, they are
advocating the election of Republi-
cans to office to develop two par
ties in the state. 1t is something
before unheard of. 1t merely shows
the sentiment and spirit of the times.
The people of Virginia are beginning
to look at politics from practical
business standpoint and this is all to
the advantage of the Republicans.
The present administration has done
many things not pleasing to the peo-
Pile of my state and the outlook is
that there will be large Republican
gains in the elections of 1916.

OUT OF MEXICO.

The de facto government of Mex
leo has requested President Wilson to
withdraw the United States troops
from Mexico. The request will un-
doubtedly be granted. The Ameri-
can army will be delighted to get
back home. Villa is undoubtedly
alive, but it is evident that the Unit
ed States could not catch him in any
time short Of a year. The acting
president of Mexico is probably
afraid that ignorance and race pre-
judice would cause the Mexicans to
fire upon the Americans. Americans
of all kinds had better stay out Of
Mexico. Ultimately the American
government will have to invade Mex
leo with a conquering army to put
things right But this will be put
off until new president and admin
istration snail be installed.-Des

Looking the matter square in the
face, the Indiana primaries do not
give us much hope of success" said
a Democratic member from that state
to a group of colleagues on the floor
of the house, 81 am afraid that
some of us will not be back here for
the 65th congress. Looking the re-
turns over, there is not much COM
fort. Every indication points to the
fact that the Republicans and Pro
gressives of our state have quit their
auarreling and have once more join
ed issues. There certainly is moth
ing comforting in the vote recently
held in Indiana from a Democratic
viewpoint and we all know it."

The proposal to get $25, 100000 to
$40,000,000 from direct tax on the
manufacture of munitions of war is
of doubtful validity and wisdom.
This would make the government Il
practical partner in the profits of a
traffic it is supposed, under interna-
tional law, merely TO tolerate. 1t
would be an indirect tax on exports
forbidden by the constitution. Thru
the corporation and the income taxes
the government is getting about as
much of the profits from this bust
ness as it can receive, legally and
with propriety. The presidents pro
posal of excise taxes on pig iron, in
teInal combustion engines and gaso-
line has been dropped, altho the pub
lie has been paying it for some time,
in anticipation, as it pays nearly all
taxes.-Globe-D Democrat.
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-04-20

We are at loss to understand
why the American people feel that
Villa should die, even if he did lose a
leg or two in making his getaway.
If our people will just remember how
many times the crown prince of Ger
man was wounded, how many times
he bled and died for his country,
they should know that Villa, the man
who captured Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona and chased the presi-
dents family into Canada, is no ten
derfoot, that he will have to be
wounded, captured and killed several
times before he will surrender to
the American forces in Mexico. OF
course, it would be too bad to botch
up Villas record by an early and un-
timely death.

sore and painful part. The blood
flows freely and in short time, the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those suf-

VERDUN.

The brave German soldiers are
fighting all around Verdun, as they
have been for nearly two months.
These German soldiers are under
command of the German crown
prince. The crown prince has per-
sonal reputation at stake. He must
take Verdun or be discredited. He
has fought in the valleys and he has
fought among the hills. Every place
the brave Germans have met the
brave Frenchmen. No defense was
ever stronger. Such battles could
be fought no place else in Europe.
The French have been studiously tax
ing care of their men in order to
lose as few as possible. The Germans
have been compelled to sacrifice their
men. Thus the battle RACES. We
have supposed all the time that the
Germans would finally succeed in
capturing Verdun. However, at the
present time, there is not much to
suggest such result There is one
determination. For the first time
since the war, they have evidently
met an equal determination on the
other side. The present siege is not
a siege in the sense of one army
starving another out. Both armies
have ample supplies and each army
has an available approach to the
rear. The rear of each army, in fact,
is reached by railroad. The present
conflict requires more science than

L. W. Smith made an auto trip

the first time the road has been COW

but the delay was due to the time
spent in aiding autoists who were
having machine troubles, rather than
to the condition of the road.
