The time is now here when some
other expression must be coined to
take the place of peanut politics"
This term has long been used to de-
note littleness, worthlessness, con-
temptibleness. The peanut crop is
now coming to be recognized as one
of the most important and valuable
crops in this country, hence the phrase
is now entirely out of date.

ENGLISH TOMMY
PRESENTS SHOES

J. l.. Brining Exhibits Foot
gear OF Nephew Fighting
With British Forces

An interesting relic of the European
battlefields is being exhibited in this
city by j. L. Brining, who secured IL
while visiting with relatives in Eng.
land last fall. The memento of the
great war is pair Of shoes that were
worn in the trenches somewhere in
France" for ten months by Mrs. Brin-
ing's nephew, Harry Batrick, a soldier
in the English army.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Brining visited
in England the young man was in an
English hospital suffering from a
wound received at the front and he
presented his shoes to Mr.. Brining,
knowing that they would prove highly
interesting to members CT his family
and others belonging to the then neu-
tral country.
Batrick later recovered from his in
juries and returned to the trenches.
He was again wounded and is now con,
valescent in the hospital for the sec
ond time.
Tuesday Mr.. Brining placed the
shoes on exhibition and their appear
ance caused exclamations of surprise
from persons examining them for, de-
spite the strenuous wear they had been
subjected to during their ten months
in the trenches they were in excellent
condition and showed but small signs
of wear. The soles of the shoes are
protected with iron knobs and plates,
however, and these are considerably
worn, but the leather itself appears
almost new.
The shoes weigh pounds and II
ounces, but the experience of the
"Tommies" with them proves that de-
spite their weight they are an easy and
comfortable protection for the feet.

Rev. J. A. Long Views Auto
Accident In Ashland
County

While driving to Big Prairie late
Sunday evening in company with a
college-mate, Prof l.. C. Wagner, and
Mrs. Wagner of East Orange, N. j.,
the Rev. j. A. Long, pastor of the
Church of Christ, came upon most
distressing automobile accident three
miles this side of Loudonville in Ash
land county
A party of four, whose names were
not learned, was returning home to
Akron. The party consisted of a man
and his wife, her sister and a friend.
Nearing bridge, the driver of the car
slowed down and then drew into some
weeds at the right of the road to
avoid the glare of q light on a buggy
which was passing.
He did not stop his car quickly
enough to avoid sending 1t into
ditch about seven feet deep. The car
overturned and the entire party was
thrown to the bottom of the ditch
where there were three inches of wa
ter. Before the married woman in the
party could be removed, she had
drowned, having been thrown in such
way as to breathe the water into
her system.
The Rev. Mr.. Long and his friends
arrived on the spot about an half hour
after the accident occurred and assist
ed in placing the dead woman in an
ambulance which had been called from
Loudonville. She was the first of a
family of eight to die, Rev. Long learn
ed.
