STATE MILITIA FEDERALIzED
Ohio National Guard Passes From
Under Control of State-Twenty-
Five Thousand Men Affected.

Columbus.-The Ohio National
Guard ended its existence Sunday as a
military body responsible to state au-
thority, and the states division of
more than $4,000 men passed under the
sole control of the Federal Govern
ment.
This leaves Ohio without troops I'M
der state control. However. Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker promised
Governor James NJ. Cox that the state
will have the protection of Federal
troops for some time to come, and the
Governor will address himself this
week to the task of planning a new
military and home guard organization.
Colonel Julius A. Penn, chief muster
ing officer, and his assistants worked
Sunday completing the details of the
draft of the guard into Federal service.
Colonel Penn ordered the drafting Of
the division headquarters officers desig-
mated by Washington, including Cap
tain Thomas Dooley, of st. Louis, of
the Missouri National Guard, whose
engagement to the daughter of Gov
ernor Cox has been reported, and who
will become Assistant Adjutant of the
Ohio division, with rank of Major.
There is still speculation over the
appointment of a Major General to
command the division. Washington
will name this officer and the chief of
staff. The Federal draft takes all the
high officers of the guard except Ad-
jutant General George H. Wood and
Assistant Adjutant General J. E. Gim-
perling, Jr. Governor Cox recon-
mends General Wood for Major Gen.
eral, and the report here has been that
if this program carries, Colonel Gim-
| perling will be named Adjutant Gen.
eral of the state.
Formalities of drafting the guard
having been completed, the next step
awaited is the order to proceed to the
Montgomery (Ala.) camp to go into
| training.

MOVIES INSPIRE TO CRIME
Canton Boys Plan Extensive Program
of Burglary After Reading Thrill
ers and Seeing Pictures.

Clarence Price and Robert
Labord, ffteen-year-old youths, are
held in Jail on charges of burglary and
larceny According to police, the boys
admit they robbed two Canton stores.
They stole a large number of cart
ridges, and say they intended to buy
guns with which to do daring deeds.
Their program of crime included, ac-
cording to alleged admissions to po.
lice, the blowing up of the First Ma
tional Bank vault by the use of dyna.
mite, and the shooting of two pay
masters of large manufacturing plants
and getting away with the money.
Police found 10 sticks of dynamite
hidden in swamp near here. The
boys say they stole the dynamite from
local brickyard, and intended to boil
it down so as to secure "soup" with
which to blow up the bank vault
The youths say they got their ideas
for the big jobs of crime from reading
novels and from constantly attending
blood and thunder" movies.

Columbus.-The biggest production

state is promised in the crop now be-

The acreage this year is smaller
than that in 1915, when Ohio produced
her greatest crop-35, 100000 bushels
but the ten-year average will be ex-
ceeded by 100000 bushels this year
Reports are as optimistic of the oats
crop and of the potato crop, but dis
couraging as to fruits.
Oats cutting has started with an
abundant yield per acre, prospects in
dicating 119 per cent compared to the
average, with a gain of II points dur
ing July. The estimated area is 1884
459 acres from which 55,040,452 bush
els will be harvested. This is 10000
900 bushels greater than the ten-year
average for Ohio
Potatoes Above the Average.
Potato prospects are 10 per cent
compared to the average, with an acre
age of 97,O15, which should produce,
the department estimates, 9,216,425
bushels or near ten-year average.
Corn has been damaged IL per cent

weather leaves prospects at 92 per cent
normal.
Apples are not going we'll, continu.

Blues Siqn of Limitations.

The blues are usually related to linz
itation. If we have them it is a sign
that we are limited people. And, as q
rule, it is hard for US to cure our
selves of our limitations because we
are so pleased with them and so proud
of their possession. If we weren't we
shouldn't assert them so much and let
them do US so much harm. "Work is
all care about in the world" When
we hear anyone make a remark of this
kind we may be sure that he is on the
wrong road. He is q particular foolish

things he doesn't care about in the

however, it will give him bad attacks

Bohemia Favored by Nature.

Nature has favored Bohemia per-
haps more than any other part of Eu-
rope. Its soil is so fertile and climate
so favorable that more than half of
the country is cultivated and produces
richly. In it's mountains almost every
useful metal and mineral, except salt,
is to be found. 1t is the geographical
center of the European continent,
equally distant from the Baltic, Adri-
attic, and North seas, and though in
closed by mountains, is so easily ac-
cessible, because of the valleys of the

Parisians to stand in line before food
emporiums and coalyards will be fore
stalled, he declares, thereby erGphasiz-
ing that France is suffering no great
amount of worry over the ravages Of
German submarines.
Another piece of good news ema-
mates from the ministry of commerce
to the effect that Parisians will soon
be supplied with national footgear"
and national cloth" for clothing. This
promises to be a real boon for modest
purses.

ing the bitterness in the ranks.
But when General Brusiloff's great
drive began a year ago In Ga1icia the
Austrians had need Of every man OF
their resources. This brought the
Slav divisions into line. and for the
first time Slav was facing Siav, the
southern Slav element being thrust for
ward to meet the rush Of their broth
ers from the North. It was literally
a fight of brother against brother.
