COX A BOOSTER
FOR STATE FAIR
Governor Appreciates It's True
Value TO Commonwealth.
TO WELCOME BOYS AND GIRLS

Executive Declares the Children of
Farmers Are Entitled to a Trip 20
Columbus and That His Office Will
Be Open to These Visitors at All
Times-Hopes to Fay Several VS.
its to the Vast Exposition.
Governor James M. Cox is an en-
thusiastic champion of the Ohio
State Fair. 1t is one of the great
institutions of the Buckeye common
wealth that receives great deal of
his attention and cooperation. Being
a farmer, Governor Cox is able to
appreciate the true value of the fair
to those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits.
The governor believes that children,
particularly those of the rural COM
munities, should be sent to the fair,
where they will have opportunities to
observe and learn as in no other way.
Governor Cox has this to say of the
fair:
"One of the hopeful signs of our
day and generation is the increasing
Importance that is attached to such
institutions as the Ohio State Fair.
Living in state of almost boundless
fertility, necessity did not, for many
years, teach US the needed lessons of
soil conservation and proper cultiva-
tion. Crops grew in the virgin soil
with little attention and money
might be made through methods that
have become impossible in recent
times.
"The intelligent farmer now knows
the basic principles of an industry
that is becoming more eXacting each
year. The wise husbandman does not
expect luck when he plants a crop.
He makes fortune come his way.
When all follow the methods that ou~
agricultural leaders are showing US,
there will be no such thing as food
shortage. prices will be more reason
able and the profits of the farm will
be larger than ever before.
"These facts directly join to the
State Fair. During the last week in
August every farmer in Ohio should
spend at least day there. The visit
to this greatest of Ohio institutions
should properly not merely be di
version from ordinary duties. The
expense should be provided for in the
annual farm budget, just as money
for seeds, machinery, farm repairs,
improvements and livestock are parts
of the budget. The few dollars spent
will return a rich profit.
"It is worth while to learn what
the other fellow is doing. 1t is ex-
tremely profitable to have the in
spiration of witnessing an assem-
blage of the high-class livestock, the
perfect fruits and grains that over
flow the exhibit buildings. The
watchful fellow can pick up a hint
here and there whose value cannot
be overvalued.
"The farmers boys and girls are
entitled to a trip to Columbus. The
governors office will be open for a
continuous reception to these visitors.
Though war time duties press upon
the executive time, the governor will
be sure to find time to welcome
them"
Governor Cox hopes to pay several
visits to the fair, and may deliver
addresses there.

FOOD CONSERVATION
Demonstrations to Be Made Daily at

Demonstrations to Be Made Daily at
the ohio State Fair.
Because of the war with its attend
ant necessity for the producers of the
United States to feed their own peo-
pie and help to keep the people of
the allied nations from starvation.
food conservation and preservation
will be an emphasized feature of this
years Ohio State Fair at Columbus,
the last five days of August.
There will be various demonstra-
tions, in charge of experts, of food
preservation and there will be lee
lures on scientific feeding, and much
literature on these important subjects
will be distributed. Farmers will be
urged to continue with increased eff
forts extensive and intensive cultiva-
tion of the soil.
Gardeners will not be overlooked.
The state is showing its appreciation
of rural and city gardening by offer
ing more than $4,000 in cash prizes
for the best products.

Gettysburg.

C. J. Miller and family took an
auto drive to Celina yesterday,
but it seems fishing was not good
as they returned as bare of the
article as they went.
The torridity of the tempera-
ture somewhat initiated against
the attendance at the Red Cross
benefit, given at our school audi
torium last night. The patrons
of it failed to get there in as
large numbers as they should, to
have made it a success equal to
it's merits. The program was
good and ought to have secured
a large crowd.
The next thing to engage our
attention is the Great Darke
County Fair and l venture the
prediction that when the time
comes the people will be there in
large numbers. There will be no
failure then and no failure in the
number and quality of the ex-
hibits. 1t will be equally as
good, if it does not surpass in
quality, any of its predecessors.
Our people have a preference for
their own fair and will strain a
point to have it excel.
Roy Starr and wife of Marion
are here visiting among relatives
for a few days.
The very favorable weather
for the growth of potatoes has
caused quite a drop in the price
of that commodity, and a very
excellent article at that, from
$3.50 down to SIPS per bushel.
This will be some help in bring
ing down the high cost Of living.
If a few more items of food were
to take a like drop the cost OF
living would be considerably re
duced to people whose bank ac-
count is not extensive.
During last week Manager Kipp
and his men passed through here
repairing the telephone line so as
to make it equal to the duty of
giving good service to its patrons
and thus avoid complaint.

Corn and Meat Scraps
Good for Laying Hens.

When wheat and other feeds
are relatively higher in price,
corn and meat scrap will produce
a satisfactory egg yield at a low
er cost per unit of production.
Hens fed on corn and meat
scrap for LOAF days at the Ohio
Experiment Station laid an aver
age of 351 eggs hen. Those
fed a ration of corn, wheat. oats,
bran and meat scrap produced
$40 eggs. The feed cost per doz-
en- eggs was Is per cent higher
for the lot getting the variety of
feeds than for the corn and meat
scrap lot.
Corn, wheat oats, bran, oil
meal, middlings and meat scrap
constituted the ration of one LOT
that laid 1877 eggs per hen one
year. Hens fed only corn anC
meat scrap laid 1923 eggs per hen,
The cost of feed per dozen eggs
was nearly four per cent greater
in the case of the hens fed the
variety ration.

able in their expectations is
shown by the fact that they do
not ask the So minimum price for
wheat being voted into the pend
ing food control bill. Washing
ton seems to be the money spend
ing center of the country, not
the money producing center.
The state tax commission has
sent out very sensible letter to
the various county budget COM
missions in the state. Calling
attention to the larger property
valuations of the 1917 duplicates,
they say: Realizing the condi.
tions that war has brought upon
our people, says the letter, land
with the abundant evidence of
our patriotic citizens cheerfully
making many sacrifices, the COM
mission takes the liberty to sug-
gest to your honorable body that
wherever possible tax rates should
be reduced, and that only in cas-
es of extreme necessity should
the rates be increased"
The wisdom Of this advice will
become more apparent when the
war taxes, now in course of en-
actment, begin to press on the
taxpaying element of the coun-
try. Manifestly they should be
spared every possible state, coun-
ty and city burden. 1t is deeply
to be regretted that the recent
legislature did not set an exam
pie in this respect. The war had
been declared before it adjourn
ed, and yet it failed to make any
attempt at economy or reduction
of expenses. On the contrary,
its appropriations, increases of
salaries, creation of new posi-
tiOns, were all on an charging
scale. The only place that tax
burdens can now be lightened is
locally.
Congressman Sherwood called
on Secretary of War Baker to in
sist that the Ohio national guards
men be not sent into a torrid
southern camp in the summer
time. He wanted them sent to
Camp Perry where they could
have cool breezes and bathing
beaches. But alas! Secretary Ba-
ker told him that the troops were
| going south just the same. Any
way. Camp Perry was near Tole
| do and the morals of Toledo were
bad! Sherwood lives in Toledo
and denied this charge. He alsC
pointed out that Toledo was forty
miles from Camp Perry, but Mr.
Baker said the soldiers would g
by boat. Sherwood showed thert
was no boat line between CAM
Perry and Toledo. Secretary Ba
ker was immovable and south tn
soldiers go, heat or no heat. Blu
how Toledo will love Secretar!
Baker for saying that it's moral
are bad.
