While ii is of the greatest impor-
tance that the most strict legal regu-
lations as regards sanitation be OBJ
served, nj my communities are placed
at disadvantage in the enforcement
of these requirements because they
have no industry which is devoted
exclusively to the conservation OF the
Public health. In this respect Mer-
Ger county is quite fortunate and in
taking up this phase of our onward
progress We wish to direct your spe-
clal attention to The Montezuma Fer
tilizer Company which is under COM
petent direction.
Because of the prompt and salts
factory service which this well known
company offers in the removal of
dead stock, the liberal prices which
they pay FOR the carcasses thus dis
posed OF and the able and efficient
manner in which this enterprise is
operated, The Montezuma Fertilizer
Company, since it's operation was TAX
en- over by the present management,
has won the confidence and liberal
support of the populace. While the
death of live stock is an incident al
ways to be regretted. the immediate
removal Of the carcass is always de-
sirable and should be accomplished at
the earliest possible moment. No
matter how far from Montezuma you
live, of you arc within the borders of
Mercer county, you need only inform
this popular firm and dismiss the
matter from your mind, for they have
won the enthusiastic commendation
Of many farmers and stock men
througout this section by the prompt
ness exercised in responding to calls.
Their service covers many miles Of
territory and is by no means confined
TO Mercer county alone for they
serve the people of this entire section
OF Ohio and Indiana.
Many states in the union have
passed legislation providing for the
absolute prohibition of the old meth
ods of burying dead stock. While

Among the successful industries oi
Mercer county which have been in
augurated in recent years is the Fort
Recovery Fertilizer Company, which
is operated by Mr.. Z. Wagner. The
projectors of this enterprise who are
well and fdvoTably known in this sec
tion believed that this section offered
an ideal location for the fertilizer in
Gustry, and that their judgment has
been vindIcated is attested by the
merited success which has crowned
their well directed efforts. The To-
cation mere of this industry has been
OF considerable benefit to the farmers
and stock raisers in this vicinity for
they have not only found a market
for their dead stock but they have
been able to procure high grade tank
age for hog feed at much lower prices
than formerly and thus have been
benefited both ways, a fact which
entities The Fort Recovery Fertilizer
Co., to the we'll merited support and
patronag Of all of this section en-
gagged in these pursuits.
During the past quarter of cen
tury more advances have been made
in the science of sanitation than in
any period of the worlds history, and
the results have been of vast benefit
especially as regards the health of
the people in the various centers of
population throughout the country.
While it is of the greatest Importance
that modern and sanitary regulations
shall be strictly observed in the cities
it should be none less so in the coun-
try districts and of late years laws
have been enacted in many states OF
the union providing for absolute pro-

/ hibition OF the old method of burying
dead stock OF anykind.
There are at the present time only
two safe methods of disposing OF the
dead ANIMALS, namely. cremating and
rendering. or the two, rendering is
to be commended for it is not only
the most sanitary way of disposing
Of the carcass but 1t is best from a
commercial standpoint for modern
fertilizer concerns like The Fort Re-
coyery Fertilizer Co., not only trans
ports all dead animals free Of charge
t. its plant, but also in many cases
pays the owner a reasonable amount
for each carcass removed. The peo-
pie of Mercer county are fortunate in
having a plant of the sanitary value
OF this kind located here for its op-
Grafton is a distinct gain in this sec
tiOn both from a sanitary and COM
mercial standpoint. The company is
always in close touch with the state
board Of health and are always ready
to act upon any suggestion which will
do away with any obnoxious odors
which may arise when the plant is in
full operation.
Mr.. ( Wagner, who personally d.
rects the affairs of the company, is a
gentleman who is well and favorably
known IN the business circles of this
section and we are confident that this
worthy enterprise will continue to
thrive and prosper under his capable
and. efficient management and we are
pleased in this Prosperity Edition to
direct your attention to his commend
able methods and the admirable man
ner in which the Fort Recovery Fer
tilizer Co. is serving the public.

There is no vocation requiring fol
its successful prosecution a greater
natural attitude than that of fun
eral director. In Mercer county this
important profession is represented
by w. II. May, of Fort Recovery. His
establishment is well equipped and
thoroughly modern. He has been
identified with the profession for
some years and through his untiring
efforts and commendable methods has
progressed from modest beginning
until today he possesses a clientale
extending over many miles of terri
tory. His ambition is to reach the
highest point in his profession and he
has spared neither time nor pains to
render the magnamimOus service.
1t is needless to say that W. H.
May at TT. Recovery, is prepared to
serve the people of Mercer county
with excellent and satisfactory equip
ment. His parlors and outside
equipment are distinctively metropol-
itan. He IS very conscientious and
most moderate in his charges.
Mr.. May is very courteous and can
be reached either day or night. He
has built up his business from the
fact that he conducts his very salts
factory and elegant funerals at most
moderate prices.
But Mr.. Mays activities are by no
means confined to his professional
work Co. he conducts modern and
up-to-date furniture store at FIT. Re-
covery. This is one of the leading
stores of Mercer county and in it you
will find an immense stock OF furni-
ture of every description. Whatever
is known as the best in this line, that
is the kind tnat he has and is pre-
pared to serve you with individual
pieces or complete sets. Here you
will find floor coverings of high quail
ity and evrything else that you would
expect in an up-to-date store Of this
kind.
In this Prosperity Edition we are
glad to give favorable mention to this
leading establishment and to Mr..
Mays professional activities.

HONEY PRODUCTION
\ PATRIOTIC DUTY

There will probably be shortage
Of sugar i'll the United States in the
near futuIe and there will be a need
for all the money that can be pro-
duced. There is no danger Of over
production as the 1916 crop has dis
appeared at good prices. Prospects
now inol ate good crop for this
year and market conditions seem to
indicate that there will be no de-
crease in prices.
1t behoovcs every beekeeper as a
patriotic duty, to do his part by put
ting his apiary in condition for the
biggest production possible. Where
colonies have perished during the
Winter, entrance to such hives should
bu closed at once to prevent robbing
and possible dissemination Of disease.
Weak colonies should be combined,
materials and supplies should be rea-
dy and prepared and every necessary
thing De done TO be ready for honey
flows.
The Department of Agriculture OF
Ohio through it's force of apiary in
spectors is ready to lend beekeepers
every assistance possible, and will
curtail regular inspection duties In
order TO give demonstrations, render
advice and leEd such other assistance
within its power. The Federal Bu-
reaus Of Crop Estimates will continue
to issue reliable honey crop reports
and the Bureau of Markets will do
every thing in its power to assist In
the proper distribution of the honey
crop.

I Ohio has not yet adopted this safe
and sane law it is only question OF
time until it will be passed by our
law making body, this marking ano-
ther period in the progress of the
science of sanitation within the bor-
ders Of the Buckeye state. In this
respect modern fertilizer companies,
such as The Montezuma Fertilizer
Company, are to be highly commend
ed because OF the very prompt man.
ner in which they remove dead stock
| from the premises but especially be-
cause every part of the carcass is ut
ilized. Thus they not only conserve
the public health but turn to good
and profitable use the carcasses which
were formerly considered waste ma
terial. This Is a matter which should
he given attention by every farmer
and stock raiser and we urge all Of
our readers to place such matters Of
this kind that may come under their
direction into competent and respon-
sible hands, thus eliminating the pos
sibility of the burial of carcasses by
irresponsible parties who wish mere
ly to secure a profit from the dispos-
al of the hide.
The very prompt service which
this company renders will be augu-
mented in the near future by the ad-
dition of several modern motor
trucks, thus attestlng to the COM
pany's policy of keeping pace with
the times.
The head of this important and
thriving industry, is one of the prom
inent men of Mercer county who is
aiding in no little degree the progress
and expansion of the community in
in which he lives. He is thoroughly
conversanL with every feature of the
enterprise OF which he is the direct
ing head and he is a steady booster
for hishome community. The DEM
ocrat wishes to compliment him up
on the enviable success of the Mon
tezuma Fertilizer Company and the
admirable manner in which it is op-
Grated for the benefit of the public.

PEACE and PLENTY
[Ohio State Journal. ]

There may seem a little confusion in
the efforts to get the land to yield more
this year, but just watch for results.
There will be more plenty than we sus
pect. The way the old soil is going to
have to hustle this year will be a sur
prise to it. There will be corn, wheat,
potatoes, cabbage, beets, &c, enough to
make the world smile. All can partici.
pate except Germany, and If she only
discards her old Hohenzollernish, we
will divide. But that old autocracy that
brought on the fearful war cannot have a
smidgen of our plenty. It is all for the
boys who are fighting the war-making
hosts. Every sack OF wheat, bushel OF
corn or crate of cabbage we raise in this
country is turned over to peace, the
worlds peace, now and forever. And
we want to change all our waste and laH-
ness into this beautiful benefaction.
