Coins
Dropped Through Platform
Cracks Recovered
Not BY Losers, However, But BY
Pennsy Workmen Engaged In
Taking Up Old Platform
At Local Depot

The equivalent of a gold mine has
been unearthed at the Pennsylvania
railroad station by the men from Ak
ron who are taking up the station
platform which is to be replaced by
a concrete one of the same dimen-
sions.
The work was started several days
ago by an Akron company and, the
first few boards being removed, a
number of small coins were brought
to light by the men. This reward for
their labors impelled them to work
with greater alacrity. However, the
good luck did not continue, as it was
some time before more of the lost
coins were discovered by the excited
workmen.
In all probability the supply has
been nearly exhausted. as several dol
lars have been found. The change
was probably lost by different per-
sons who long ago abandoned hope Of
regaining their money. ~

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AGAINST The farmer

didate treat the grange position with
Indifference. They have not even the
courtesy to explain to the farmer why
they oppose his stand. Perhaps, how
ever, their failure to explain is be-
cause they can not and their stand in
opposition to the Grange demands has
been dictated by the ship owners who
are contributing so lavishly to the Re-
publican campaign fund.
Is it wise for farmers to risk their
chance of continued prosperity to a
party that treats them so shabbily?
Should they not rather show by their
votes on election day that they will
not stand such treatment. The ship.
ping bill passed by the Democratic
Congress and approved by the Presi-
dent has the endorsement of the
Grange and other farm organizations
as big step in the right direction and
on this account alone the Democratic
party is entitled to and should receive
the farm vote.

When Vice Admiral D'Artige du

French fleet in the Mediterranean,
presented an ultimatum to Greece,
demanding that Greece hand over to
the allies the entire Greek fleet. he
permitted it to hold the armored
cruiser Averoff and the battIeships
Lemnos and kilkis. The latter two
were bought before the war, in 1914,
from the United States and were re-
spectively the Mississippi and Idaho.
Admiral du Fournet further demand
ed that the three warships to be re-
tained by Greece be disarmed; that
the forts on the seacoast be disman-
tied, and those two commanding the

admiral, together with the control Of

of certain designated points also was
to be placed in the hands of the An

to the disarming of the warships
named, their crews were to be re-
duced TO one-third the regular corn

dispatch of artillery and ammunition

fears Of a disturbance of order at
points where the allies war vessels
are anchored, and also of the danger

Contemptuous Treatment OF Th
Grange And Other Farm Organ
izations Shown BY Its Posi-
tions On Merchant Marine

The first paragraph of the merchant
marine plank of the Republican plat
form is declaration for ship subsid-
les, TO which the farmers are unalter-
ably opposed and which they have
fought consistently, for over twenty
years. The second paragraph is a de-
nouncement of government ownership
OF ships, which farmers organizations
unqualifiedly endorse as necessary to
prevent the robbery of the farmer by
the shipping combines. What hope
have the farmers that the outrageous
robbery of their profits through ex-
cessive and unregulated ocean freight
rates will be stopped If the Republic
ans go back into power?
ii the Grange in its opposition to
ship subsidies or in it's advocacy of
government owned and operated ships
had been half-hearted, there might
be some excuse for the Republicans
ignoring the Grange demands in view
however of the determined and sue
cessful opposition OF the Grange every
time there has been an effort to pass
ship subsidy legislation, and of the
positive stand taken in favor OF gov
ernment owned and operated shipping,
and the vigorous way the Grange has
sustained its position before Commit
tees of Congress, it is little less than
insulting to treat the Grange position
with such contemptuous indifference,
as the Republican party is showing.
There is no equivocation in the
Grange position. It is set forth con-
cisely in the following resolution
adopted by the National Grange.
Resolved: That if Government
funds are to be used to aid in
building up an American Mer-
chant Marine, that it should be
for ships to be owned and operat-
ed by the Government"
Every Grange through all the thirty
two Grange states, the Farmers I'm
ions and farm organizations in all
parts of the United States practically
without exception, have passed simil-
ar resolutions and have made known
to Congress their opposition to ship
subsidies and demand for government
ownership.
The Grange opposition is based on
the demonstrated fact that unregulat-
ed ocean freight rates on the staples
of agriculture result in the loss of
millions of dollars every year to the
farmers of America uncertainty In
such rates offers unlimited opportuni-
ty for the spectators and gamblers
in the grain exchanges to manipulate
the domestic market and rob the farm
ers on every bushel of grain grown
Further 1t is pointed out the exhaust
i've Investigations of our own govern.
ment and of Canada have shown that
the most effective way to stop these
enormous losses to the farmers is to
establish enough government owned
and operated ships to give the public
some measure of protection from the
squeezing methods of private ship com.
bines.
In the face of these facts the Re-
publican party and the Republican can.

beat Herington highs by score OF
10 to 2 last Friday.
The game was full of pep during
the first quarter but the twelve
point lead gained during that time
gave the boys something to fall
back on. During the remainder OF
the game A. II. s. failed to show
the old fight which they showed at

The first two touchdowns came
as rapidly as those made at juno

straight line plunges. The last one
was made by Sampson in the third
