PROSPECTS GOOD
DECLARES BANKER
Local Banker Optimistic Regarding
Business Outlook-Prosperity in
All Sections.

w. v. O'Connor Of the Farmers
and Mechanics Savings bank says the
business outlook over the country il
most promising at this time. The car
shortage which is interfering with
freight transportation to some extent
will no doubt clear itself within a
short time. The unusually heavy
winter prevalent in the west is In part
responsible for the situation.
Continuing, he said:
Right now the most serious prob
lem that confronts the business in
terests of a considerable part OF the
country is the corn seed situation. In
seed corn that will germinate and
yield to plant a quarter Of the corn
acreage. This means that new seed
must be secured from other sections
and unless farmers use more than
ordinary caution and test every ear
that is to. be used as seed there is a
strong probability that the crop this
expectations.
Every ear Of seed corn that fails
to yield costs the farmer from $3.50
to 81. From this it will be seen that
he can we'll afford to pay a stiff price
for seed in order to get dependable
seed.
''This situation is not confined to
dIly one SeCtlOIl OIL Lue country ana
agricultural colleges and farmers in
stitutes are urging upon farmers more
than in any previous year the great
necessity Of careful selection and
testing of seed grain. There is too
much at stake for our farmers to
take any chances of a small crop
from poor seed. Prices on all farm
products must of necessity continue
on high level this year and our own
immediate locality should be pre-
pared to take every available advant-
age of big yields and good prices.
General business conditions are
good. The regretable conflict In
Europe is in some degree responsible
for the favorable conditions here but
we arc producing for most of the
world and peace should have its rec

RINGS SWEET FOR THE EARS OF
EDITOR LEONARD
Title Of Club In Knox County Pro
vokes Editorial In Mansfield
Shield, Pralsing The
Name

Referring to the organization of wo-
men in Lock, Knox county, Wellington
7. Leonard, editor of the Mansfield
Shield has the following to say in Sat
urday's editorial column of the paper:
In a neighboring county there is a
club of women named the Golden Cos
sips" The dictionary term Of gossip
is scandal or idle talk. Golden gossip
has a good sound. 1t leaves the i'm
preston that when the members of
this club meet there are no scandalous
stories told affecting the good name of
man or woman. 1t makes one think
that in those club meetings reputa-
tions of men and women are not
smirched and that mean, slanderous
stories are not repeated with zest and
listened to with raised eyebrows and
willing ears. ,
Golden gossip" make one think of
talk that is not idle and is uplifting.
1t gives one the impression that nice
things are said about people that will
make their hearts sing when they hear
what has been said about them.

HORRIBLE
CLIPPING FROM sANDUsKY pa.
PER TELLS OF FRANK DAR.
LINe's ELEcTRocUTioN-LEe
"FRozEN" TO WIRE BY 1000
VOLTS.

A clipping from one of the Sandus-
ky papers telling OF the accident in
which Frank Darling lost his life last
Tuesday afternoon in that city was
received by Min Darling, the father
of the unfortunate man, Friday after
noon. The article follows:
Horrors of death by electrocution
we're experienced Tuesday afternoon
by Frank Darling, twenty-six, Central
Union Telephone company lineman,
residing at the Ideal hotel, Water
street.
Darling was removing wires from
the top of 40foot pole at Wayne
and Market streets at 1920 p. m. 1t
is believed that his head came in con-
tact with cable standard just above
him.
"Darling's leg was frozen to the
wire on which he was working. Over
1000 volts of electricity went through
his body.
II Ndo tSu uhluuJeo DeLOTS OdIllHS
could be removed from the wire. In
the meantime the gas company had
shut off all the current in the city.
"Clem Promersberger, Youngstown
and Marvin Fullerton, Columbus,
we're among the linemen who were
working with Darling.
"The man never recovered con-
sciousness from the time he received
the shock until he was pronounced
dead at the police station at 2:5O p.
m. The lungmotor was used in vain
to induce respiration.
Darling came to Sandusky from
Mt Vernon a year ago and has been
employed both by the Sandusky Gas
& Electric company and the Bell Tel
ephone company"
