More Than so Years Ago

James G. Blaine, the great man from Maine,
enunciated and stressed the policy Of Reciprocity
for our government as the only way to build up our
trade with other nations.
Uncle Sam adopted the policy Of reciprocity and
today her foreign trade annually runs into the bill
lions, and she is the most prosperous and wealthy
nation in the world.
Our store is the place to do your buying because
we help you by buying from you. We handle more
locally produced goods than all the other merchants
put together Then as we are the place to sell goods
why should we not be the place to buy goods.
If you believe in the policy of Reciprocity, which
is the foundation of all successful business then
help the fellow that helps you by giving him your
trade.

ANSWERS CALL TO CoL0Rs
Thousands of Khaki-CIad Youths Pour
Forth From Every Corner of State
-Guardsmen Await Next Step.

Columbus.-Not without little fur
ry in the high command was the mob
ilization of the Ohio National Guard
accomplished under the call to arms
of President Woodrow Wilson From
every nook and corner of Ohio men
came pouring forth to put on uniforms,
where they were available, or to await
uniforms where they are not. In Sc
rious, sober way the state responded
to the national appeal. There were no
shirkers in Ohio.
Doubt as to the status of the Ohio
division of the National Guard brought
about the only temporary cloud on the
! general proceedings. There seemed
to have been fear that brigade COM
manders were not disposed to recog-
nize the Ohio division, but this condi-
ton of affairs is now asserted not to
| be a menace to completion of the
! Buckeye plans.
At least one of the brigade COM
manders and probably the others made
separate reports on mobilization. Brig
adler General John S. Speaks, Of Co
lumbus, commanding the Second Bri
gade, composed of the Fourth, Fifth
and Eighth Regiments, reported to
General Barry, commanding the Cen
trail Department, United States army:
with headquarters in Chicago. He had
previously reported to Adjutant Gen
eral George H. Wood, who has been
designated as the Ohio choice for Ma
jor General in command of the divi-
sion. Under his construction of the
orders General Speaks reported to
Chicago to make sure that all require
ments were being met.
There was a report, which seemed
to be authentic, that Colonel J. Guy
Deming, of Ada, commanding the Sec
ond Regiment, will not acquiesce in
the suggestion that he go on the re
tired list. 1t had been reported thai
Lieutenant Colonel George w. Flor
ence, or the Fourth Regiment, would
, be given this command. However, il
Colonel Deming does not retire the
matter will still be open. Military of
fcers do not seem to be certain where
the decision will rest.
Almost every hamlet in Ohio contrib
uted to the host that is now quarteret
in armories or in improvised armoriei
awaiting the next step.

CLEARINGHOUSE
FOR OH|O'S COAL
is DECIDED BY GOVERNOR COX
TO BE BEST PLAN FOR
DISTRIBUTION.
PROPOSED BY DEFENSE BOARD
Operators To Set Aside Six Million
Tons for Family Use, While Large
Industrial Centers Will Also pc
Provided For.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus-It is believed that the
question of ample coal supplies for the
families of Ohio is solved. Governor
Cox, following a recommendation by
the Coal Committee Of the State War
Cabinet, will establish a coal clearing
house, probably, which will go to work
at once.
The function of the clearing house
will be to keep in constant touch with
the supply of coal in communities,
with the movement of cars to and from
the mines, with the conditions which
tend to make confusion between ain-
ers and operator and the general Gsl-
servation of Ohio coal for consump-
ton within the states. The committee,
in addition to caring for the domestic
consumer, intends to insist upon Ohio
operators giving up a certain amount
Of their coal for the large trade cen
ters in the state.
1t was estimated that 100000 fam
lilies in Ohio will require approximate
ly six tons each for the year. Coal
operators will agree to set aside this
quantity of coal to guarantee plenty
for domestic use. Consumers who
have made practice of buying Goa
early are urged to lay in their supply
before August. Gov. Cox said he
would request that the pledged assur
ance in writing be submitted by the
operators that the six million tons
would be set aside.

organizations embodying the mem
bers of the National Guard drafted
into the military service Of the United
States and to create the national army,
and has caused said aggregate
number to be apportioned to the sew
eral states and territories and the
District of Columbia as set forth in
the schedule hereto appended.
Must Apportion Quotas.
"The governor Of each state and ter

District of Columbia, acting for and
by the direction of the president and
In accordance with said act of congress
and rules and regulations prescribed

tice of the net quota to be furnished
by such board, and such net quotas
shall thereupOn be furnished by the re-
spective local boards as required by
said act of congress and rules and reg
ulations prescribed pursuant thereto"
In computing the number of men to
be required from the various states
the government put to the credit of
each state every. man it now has in
the National Guard and every man it
has contributed since April 1 as a
war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army Of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number Of war volunteers
needed on April l last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave a gross quota for eacf
state, from which net quota was com
puted by checking off the number O
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of mel
given by the state to the regular arm,
since April l.
The apportionment was made on tn
basis of an estimated grand total fO
the United States and it's possession
Of 105, 1885, ,056 inhabitants.
Total of f,152,oS5.
Each will furnish under this appoI
tionment the men its total registration
would indicate as a fair proportion
rather than the number the actual poi
ulation of the district would indicate
The total Of these gross quotas is 1
152,9S5 men.
Credit is given to the various state
for a total of 49,, 1886 voluntary enlis
| ments in the National Guard and res
ulars, making the total net quota fo
all states $4,000 men.

SEEK SAFE HAVEN ON FARMS
Some Rich Men Are Said to Be Paying
Landowners to "EmpIoy" Their
Sons to Escape Draft.

Government agents have been at
work in Queens Investigating the cases
Of several farmers in the Newtown,
Flushing and Great Neck sections who
are reported to have accepted money
to keep sons, of wealthy men on their
payrolls so as to escape the draft, says
the New York Herald. The agents
have obtained the names of young men
who registered as farmers, but who, it
is said, have not been tilling the soil.
Government officials have been told
that farmers have been well paid by
wealthy parents to "employ" the
youths. According to reports that have
been openly discussed in these sec
tions at least a dozen farmers have
men on their payrolls who do not
know a grubhook from cultivator.
These men, according to the story, are
supposed to report daily to the farm
ers and to receive wages of Sc week.
Instead of working on the farm the
young men are devoting their time to
playing golf or driving about the island
| in their motor cars.

SAVINGS IN OHIO SHOW INCREASE
Big Gain Recorded During Year Past,
Reports of Banks Show.

Columbus-Small decline in bank
reserves, but increase in the aggregate
resources of banks in Ohio, has mark
ed the period from March 5 to June
20, the date of the last call. This is
shown in review by State Bank Su-
perintendent Philip c. Berg. The in
crease in state and private bank re-
sources during the year has been
$13S,O59,OS0, or practically one-third of
a million dollars for each business day.
In this time, despite the heavy drains
of war prices on the resources of the
people, savings deposits have grown in
a striking manner. The comparative
statement shows that savings were
S357 100000 in 1916, and were $41S,.
100000 on June 20 of this year.
